The Senators lost again yesterday to
New York's Giants, but the beating they
got was not OF such singing kind as that
administered to them IA lay before. To-day
the third game of tllc s"rie, is to be played
aud with good luck the Senators
ought to win it, withstanding the To-
Quacious Doyle has threatened to send them
out OF town without a victroy.
The game between baltimore and Phila-
delphia yesterday was one of the most
stubbornly contested ard exciting seen
on the Quakers' diamond this year, and
Keller saved it for the Orioles by a mag
nificent catch and splendid throw from
right field to Clarke at the plate, in the
eighth tnning.
Cleveland's two wins from the Colonels
yesterday helped her along considerably,
though both Baltimore and Pittsburg, the
Spiders most dangerous opponents, marked
up victories and still continue hot on
the trail for the leading position. The
Pirates to-day are eleven and the Orioles
twenty-nine points behind the Tebeau com
bination. IIsi-

championship for clubs whose members
are not over 10 years of age, defeated the
Metropolitan Juniors the other day by
score of to 8. Young Buckley and
Shea, of the Cliffords, 10 who are promis-
ing players, did some fine fielding work
for their team. The Cliffords would like
games with any clubs 9f their age. Chal-
lenges addressed to T. Mulligan, No. 1920
8 street northwest, win receive prompt
attention.
The release of Billy, Hoy by the Gin
cinnati team yesterday was not unlocked
for. Bill has been hanging on the ragged
edge for some time-since they wanted to
send him to indianapolis, when Hogriever
was tfansferred-and his release is no
doubt the result of the kick he made against
that movement.
The Young stars defeated the Rock
Greek Stars 12 to 4 the other day, and
they are ready to meet any of the clubs
than IA years old. C. Ford, No. 2311 L

lenges.

tion and substituting another.
He now proposes to construct a fur
mace at some point in the District, pro-
vided the Commissioners will agree to
adopt the process upon a satisfactory
test.
The fact that the Commissioners de-
cided late yesterday, as stated in tO-day's
Morning Times, to go to Philadelphia
and Wilmington for an examination Of
plants in those cities, is accepted as an
indication that they are not disposed to
wait longer on the production of sam-
pie of the Anderson process.

Health Officer Woodward left this morn

track, yesterday, offered $4,000 for the
colt Ben Brush. Both Brown Dick, the
colored trainer, and Eugene Leigh, who
own Ben Brush In partnership, simply
smiled at the proposition. They will sell

into a race with Cicero j. Hanlin's stall
lion Glendennis and Little Daisy. Mr..
Hanilin VIII regret that race all the days
of his life, for it had pathetic ending.
Haniljn was anxious TO have his horse win,
as he always is, and after he had taken
two heats, he said to Geers:

J. horse the next heat il you kill Glendennis
in doing it," To which Geers replied:

Brown won the next three heats of that
memorable and cruel race, and Glendennis

The union received five propositions for
membership, one of which is for re-instate-
mcnt.
A committee was appointed to wait on
the Emerson Shoe Company, to determine

My answer to your query is an emphatic
yes. Our own fair city, Washington, presents
as sad examples, in this line, as any place in
the union.
The young men and women who come here
as strangers from all parts of the country are
compelled. by sheer necessity, to enter some
boarding house or other. Most of them have
been reared in comfortable homes. have been
surrounded by loving relatives and friends.
and have experienced but little of this worlds
temptations and trials. Now, however, they
are suddenly brought face to face with it all.
Released from all restraints. surrounded by
strangers coming and going, is it wonder
there are so many moral wrecks? Add to
this the average boarding-house keepers in
difference to their welfare, and the dyspeptic
diet itself, and it is a wonder that any es-
