FIVE CONTESTS TO A FINISH
Lasker Wins the Chess Tourney in

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES

The program for the pugilistic carnival.
airy IA, is complete. Five finish contests be-
tween the most prominent pugilists in Amer
lea have been arranged. On the opening day
Bob" FitZsimmons and Peter Maher will
have another whirl at each other, and this
event will be the only one in the heavy
weight division. Fitzsimmons should he
able to repeat his victory.
In the welter-weight class Joe Walcott,
Tom" ORourke's black cyclone, will try
conclusions with Scott Collins, known as
Bright Eyes" The chances are that Col
Inns will thereafter be known as BLACK
Eyes"
The lightweight class will be represented
by Jack" Everhardt Of New Orleans and
Horace Leeds OF Atlantic City. Everhardt
is the stronger and better finisher. while
Leeds is probably the better boxer In a
finish Everhardt should win.
George Dixon, the champion feather
weight, and Jerry Marshal of Pittsburg
will be the pair in that class. Marshal has
rever done anything to warrant the belief
that he can defeat Dixon, and the champion
should retain his title.
The final bout will be between the ban
tams, Jimmy Barry and johnny MUIR
ply. The best man that Barry has met Is
CaSpar Leon, whom he twice defeated At
the same time, the form shown by Barry
points to the conclusion that he is top
notcher Murphy has the credit of TWEEN
ty-fve-round drawn battle with BILLY"
Plimmer in 1894, very creditable achieve
ment. 1t remains to be seen if Murphy has
retained his form.
On the whole, the contest should be re-
markably interesting one, with the result a
problem. All these battles will take place
IN the daytime, starting about noon.

and by really splendid play succeeded in
accomplishing his purpose; the game being
abandoned as drawn after fifty-one moves
At Its conclusion, Lasker was congratu-
lated on being the winner Of the first prize

ton composed of the young ladies of the
Epiphany Church. has undertaken a win

the poorer pastors in the diocese of Mary

with food and clothing. In order to do
this and to raise funds for current work
the guild gave a luncheon at the Hooe
building, OH street, Tuesday and We'd
nesday afternoons. from II to 3 O'Clock,
that was successful in every way The
lunch was well patronized, and it is
thought that quite a neat sum was raised
to carry out the excellent plans which have
been laid. Most Of the money will be used
to furnish sewing machines on which the
work may be done, and the room IN which
the guild meets has for the time being been
transformed into sewing room. The work
was taken in charge by Miss Gould, Miss
Berry, Miss Mamie Boyd, Miss Helen Boyd,
Miss Jennie Boyd, Miss Kathryn Evans
Miss Mazda Evans, Miss Marion Evans.
Miss Dickson, Miss Turner the Misses
Winslow, Miss Duncanson Miss Brown,

ments Wanted.
There has Just been issued by the Bright
wood Av, nue. Citizens Association a book
let of some twenty pages, containing the
constitution and bylaws of the associa-
ton, list of it's officers. committees and
members and the schedule of the Bright
wood mail service.
This association has been exceedingly &C
tive and urtiring in its efforts to promote
the welfare of the community in the re-
gion adjacent to Brightwood avenue. 1t
was organized March II, 1891, and to its
energies can be traced the establishment
of the electric railway from the city limits
to Takoma, the lighting by gas of Bright
wood avenue, the laying of water mains
from the Fort Reno reservoir, the con-
struction Of sewers, sidewalks and the i'm
provement and widening Of streets, to-
gether with the enlargement of the Bright
wood school building, SO that now the peo-
pie of that suburb declare 1t to be one Of
the best in the District: Through the eff
forts Of this association, also, three daily
mails have been established.
Just at present it is using its efforts to
have fully equipped engine house estab-
lished and large police force detailed for
the better protection Of persons and prop
erty in the county, and also a general sew
er system for the drainage OF the populous
and growing community rorthward Of Sol
diers' Home. The District Commissioners
look with favor on the proposed improve
ments, and have embodied the matter in
their estimates to Congress, and it is hoped
by the association that the necessary legis-
lation to bring about these needed improve
ments will be secured.
The present officers are: w. v. Cox, pres
ident; N. E. Robinson, vice president; c. F.

cludes these officers, together with DR.. G.

Claim to the FaIkland..

Regarding the report that the republic
of Argentina is about to reopen and press
claim of long standing to the owner
ship of the Falkland islands, in view of the
stand taken by President Cleveland on the
Venezuelan boundary dispute Senior Do
minguez, the charge d'affaires at the Ar
gentine legation here, says he has received
no information from his government on
the subject. The report that Argentina
would send a specially accredited minister
to the United States to urge the matter, he
said, probably grew out of the fact that
that country at present had no fully ac-
credited representative here, but that one
was soon to be appointed in the ordinary
channels Of diplomacy.
