DISAPPOINTED SPORTS.

Grove Remained Closed.

The sporting fraternity got a quiet tip
night before last that Oak Grove, the
notorious gambling place on the Poto-
mac just opposite the Three Sisters, was
to be opened up again Saturday night,
and round-trip tickets on the steam launch
Cicele were scattered among them. But
the hundred or more of gamblers who
took tie trip were sorely disappointed,
for there was Il hitch somewhere, and the
doors did not open.
One of the tickets fell into the hands
of The Times, and a reporter was sent
over to see the sights. The tug started
from the foot of Thirty second street,
and as the reporter stepped aboard he
looked around for someone to take his
ticket. That did not seem to be the
custom, however, and he was also unable
to get rid of it when he landed at Oak
Grove. The place was brilliantly lighted
A man sat on the wharf who scrutinized
every newcomer, aud about sevcnty-five
men of all classes of life We're loafing

There was the workman, who had not
stopped to change his working clothes, the
government clerk, the well-dressed sport
and the careless, full-fledged professional
gambler. The barroom was in full blast
and the lights were burning upstairs,
where keno, faro, roulette, hazard and
sweat games were to be In full blast
But everything was quiet and they were
waiting for the tip. Messrs. Foster and
Nelson, proprletors of the place, could not
be seen. Mr.. Nelson was In TO wn or In

who was anxjously awaited by the crowd
