GARRIOTT THEIR GUEST
Weather Bureau Men Give Their
Former Associate a Dinner.
Chief Moore and Major Dunwoody
Were the other Two Specially
HOnOred Friends.

A swell, up-to-date farewell dinner was
rendered TO Prof E. B. Gariott by his
friends in the Weather Bureau last evening
al FIeund's Prof Gauiott has been
Employed in the bureau Tor the past twenty
TeaIs and be now goes to take charge Of
The foTecasung work at Chicago, to fill
The position made vacant when FoIecaster
Moore Is made chief the bureau.
The men who have worked side by side
with Prof Garriott for fifteen or twenty
TeaIs are those who respect and admire
him the most and they desired TO show their
appreciation by giving their departing
fIiend a right royal send-off.
They had brought bottles Of wind and
Jugs OF cold wave. and as the prophets Of
great faith neared the place where the af-
fair was to come off they broke the
Teceptacles and more delicious atmosphere
and delightful breeze could not be pro-
cured among Uncle Sans weather sup
plies. The walters said that that genial
gentleman, Prof II L Williams, who acted
as tOaSt-ulaSteT, had an arrangement fixed
so that when the warm dishes were brought
on the temperature went down and when the
creams and ices appeared the mercury was
out OF sight.
Prof II i Williams acted as toaSt-mastcr
and he fairly covered himself with glory
in this position. In his PREDATORY remarks he
referred feelingly 10 the old days when the
bureau was under the charge OF the War
Department and OF how the guest Of the
evening had risen step by step from one
honor TO another and his greatest success
was due TO devotion to science.
Prof Garuolt was called upon and be
spoke in a happy vein, ever and anon his
voice choking up when some recollection Of
more than passing pathos flashed across
his mind At the conclusion Of his remarks
the newly-appomtcd Chicago foreCaster
had to admit that he had forgotten every
word and syllable OF the speech that he
had prepared
Chief Moore told OF his long connection
and acquaintance with the man who viii
assume charge Of his own old post and
then he responded TO the toast Chicago
The old veteran mctcorOlOEisU, assistant
Chief OF the Bureau, Major Dunwoody
spoke OF ms life work and Of the hUmorou
phases OF foreCasting. A learned paper
on meteorology was read by Prof. Cleve-
land Abbe
Prof Garriott viii leave for Chicago a
week from next Thursday. The committee

AN INDIGNANT FAN.
Protest Against Nick Young's Local
kindergarten for Umpires.

Editor Times: After witnessing the game
between the Senators and New Yorks this
afternoon am reminded of story that ex-
Gov. Alexander Shepherd told when he
presided over the affairs of the District.
Congress at that time passed various meas
ures applicable only to the District, with
the idea that if they proved practicable
they would be enacted for the country at
large Mr.. Shepherd said that once party
OF emigrants in crossing the plains ran out
of provisions and were compelled to sub
sist on roots, herbs, and berries, but before
eating them they compelled poor orphaned
boy to first partake, and if he survived they
would eat them. Soitwas with the District.
President Young seems to have pur-
sued the same policy toward Washington,
as the umpire he put in to-day was about
as rank as could be found after searching
the whole country.
/ think I voice the sentiment OF nearly
every one present when l say that his de-
cisions were rank. While our club did not
play as they should have, still the score
would not have been what 1t was had a

Cassidy Drops the Flag in Style
at the Island.
SIR WILLIAM LACKS BOTTOM
He Can't Go Five-Eigbths of a Mile
to Win Yet-Joe Mack Quit When
Bronston Got to His Head-Bob
Miller Turns Up in Front-Irene
Good Filly.

Starter Cassidy's work with the flag
at the Island has always been of the gilt
edge order, but yesterday he did something
with the little red bunting that has seldom
if ever been equaled. He had large and
difficult fields to handle, but he got them,
every one, off IN perfect style.
The start in the last race was so perfect
that it brought forth a hearty cheer from
the audience. With a field of nine starters
he sent them away with not half a head
separating the entire lot.
Cassidy has not been long in the busi
ness, but he gives promise OF becoming
the star starter of the country.
BETTING VERY LIGHT.
The attendance at the island was pretty
fair but the betting was rather light
and the finishes tame.
Sir william, Beckett's good two-year-
old, which has been showing everything
his heels, proved that he cannot, as yet,
go five-eghths OF a mile. He was a hot
favorite, but was badly beaten by Bacca-
rat and MOnolithe, two youngsters that
he has been beating i'll canter at half
mile.
Either Joe Mack does not fancy distance
as well as sprint, or he Is rank quitter.
He was in at mile yesterday, but the
IloIuehI lndb bfCHSiOn got 10 his DedU,
quit like dog.
Bob Miller captured the opening race
He has started again and again, and run
into the money on several occasions, but
yesterday scored his first win. AS good
as l 2 to / could be had against him at
the close.
HER SPEED ALL GONE.
AnnieT was made the choicei the second
race, but did not finish in the money. The
winner turned up in Halar's good nny
Irene.
II the two -year-old event had been an
other sxteenth Mon olithe would have
beaten the winner Baccarat out. AS it
was he had TO be cOntented with second
money. The favorite Sir. William, was
a poor third.
Bronstou was a grand horse yesterday
and took Joe Mack into camp in comman nd
| ing style
The fifth event went TO the favorite Con
Lucy with West Side second aud Mohawk
100 to l shot third.
Frank r. Harf had no difficulty in dis
| posing of his field in the closing race.
Billy Boy was poor second with My Gyps

POTOMAC river Regatta.

A meeting of the joint committee on Po-
tonlac River regatta was held last night at
the Columbia Athletic Club house. In
addition to the large amount of routine
business transacted it was unanimously de-
cided to give an excursion TO Marshall Han
on August 2T under the auspices OF the
Columbia Athletic, Potomac, and Ana
Iostan Boat Clubs for the benefit of the
regatta fund. The subcommittee on ex-
cursiOn consists of: MeSsrs. Benner, OF Ana%
Iostan; Grant, of Columbia Athletic, and
Oliver, of Potomac.
The novelty OF holding the outing under
these Joint auspices and the ObieCtfOr which
it is given, viii doubtless make it financial
success.
The Joint regatta committee Will hold
another meeting tomorrow evening at the
AnalOStau Boat House.

lett off firm in tone, with the net results
showing but little change aside from the

The Days Transactions on the Chicago Board
of Trade
CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Wheat was fairly
active. The conditions and current news
gave some encouragement to both sides of
the trade, but the bulls protited them
selves. Cables came higher and New
York sent liberal buying orders here.
North western deliveries were only m oder
ate and all advices continue to claim o
pressing for shipping purposes. Offerings
were moderate and competition sent
prices up. The increase in the visible
supply next week was figured at about
1000, 700 bushels.
December sold as low as 601s@o0%c,
earlier. but advanced gradually to 61Tc,
turned weak and fell 10 60%c, closing at
that.
Corn was comparatively strong on a
very small amount of business. October
closed at 29c, as against 2S7sc yesterday,
andMay at 29Isc, compared with 29@
