MERIDIAN HILL POLITICS.

Mass-Meeting of CoIored Republicans
in an Important District.
The Republicans on Meridian Hill held
a mass meeting last night in Abraham's
Hall on Fifteenth street, under the aus
pices OF the Republican Association, which
was organized some time ago in that
vicinity. Last nights meeting was pre-
sided over by W. T.. Ray and preliminary
20 the speech making the regular routine
business OF the association was transacted.
4 constitution for the government of the
association in the future was presented and
after some discussion was adopted
When the roll was opened for new mem
bers several came forward and identified
themselves with the body, After this much
speech making was indulged in by mem
bers of the club and the several phases of
the local campaign for the selection Of
delegates TO the distant convention were
touched upon.
This club is located in the Second district,
and while it does not interfere with the
regular Republican organization OF that
district, the club VIII take part in the
selection of the three delegates from that
district to the convention. From pres
be two sets Of delegates for that district.
The president Of the regular organizationis
Ralph Womley, but when the convention
was held four years ago Ralph bolted and
senta contesting delegationto the convention.
His delegation was turned down and the
delegates that were certified to by Dr.
Gaines, the vice president OF the club, were
seated.
As Mt Worunley was turned down by the
convention, those who are opposed to him
say chat be has no right TO call the con-
vention. for the selection of delegates, but
that Or. Gaines is now invested with that
power. AS both gentlemen have declared
their intention of calling conventions, a

afternoon just in front OF the judges
aud, for which, however, none of the
Washington clubmen We're to blame
When the races We're being finished there
was tremendous crush along the tape
line and the judges had difficulty in keeping
the crowd back, One of the judges re-
questcd Mr.. E. Wall, u brother of A II. Wall,
a member of the W R. C., TO take charge
Of part of the line. While pressing
back the line, which yielded gracefully,
a country tough, after some words, at
tackled Mr. E Wall, who worsted him
in short order
The fighters were separated Just as the
roadster came in, but he had to djsmount
aud pun his bicycle through the crowd
Mr.. Wall kept on nagging at him, and in
order to avoid a second scene he went
with the stra uger up the road. The latter's
friends had gathered there, however, and
jumped on Mr.. Wall, one OF whom hit
him on the head and another dealt him
a severe blow with the handle OF a heavy
whip
When Mr.. Walls friends heard OF this
they went to the scene, but the aSsailants
had disappeared without even leaving
their names.

The weather was so hot yesterday that
the attendance at st. Asaph was not very
large. The betting was brisk, no owever
as nearly all OF the events were very open
affairs
The surprise of the day was the victory Of
Redowac in the opening race at the juicy
odds Of 80 to 1. He had not been asked togo
the distance before, and was not thought
to be an important factor in the race.
He went to the front in the stretch and
won in easy fashion.
Ellis had the mount on Louis Quatorze in
the same race and did not appear at az
anxious to get away with him When he
did leave the post he rode very sIoyenIy
race. He was called up in the judges stand
after he dismouDted, and asked to explain
his manner OF handling the horse.

He bore in slightly on Tralee and Murphy.
who rode the latter, made claim or foul
against him. AS the judges did not think

the better horse the claim was not allo wed.
The opening event was captured by
Redowac. He ran good race and won
easily at the end. Tioga suddenly took it
into his head to run and beat Dervish by a
length for second money.
On his previous race St. Laurent looked
To have the second event as good as won
and was heavily played He opened at

TO even money He was at no time an
important factor. Prosper took command
soon after the start and at the end was a
handy winner from Dorcas L.
The talent could see nothing ia the third
race but Tribute and made him a prohibitive
favorite at 3to5. Dr. Reed wasalso fancied
and received considerable support for the
place
CAPTURE OF THE PURSE.
Tribute had no difficulty in capturing the
purse, but the fight for the place money
between DR.. Reed and Minnie S was red

time to get the place by a head.
