showing its appreciation of good play on
the part of visitors. DE Montreviile and
Tom Brown We're given Crations for great
catches, and McJames work also won ap-
plause. There is one thing, however, Gin
cinnatianS cannot stand, end that is TO
have their pitcher hit hard or show poor
control. No sooner does he show a little
weakness, and take him out, take him
OUT" comes from all parts of the ground.
And he Is usually taken out, too.
The wisdom of changing the Washing
tons batting order VIII doubtless make It
self apparent before many days-when the
team strikes something easier than Cncin-
natl. Brown Is an excellent leader-oH;
o BrieE is sure sacrifice hitter, and Sci
bach, joyce and Mcclure are pretty hard
to retire without one of them putting in
hit. If the first three go out in order, it
leaves Joyce, good waiter, to lead of
the next inning, and he is followed by
pretty good lot of hitters all the way down
the list.
De Montrevilles work here was little
short of brilliant Harry Weldon and Rem
Milford, two authorities, remarking that
he had improved wonderfully since last
seen here. On the teams arrival Gene was
taken down with cholera morbus and
physician called in. Though weak, he put
on his uniform and pluckily played out the
two Friday games, returning to bed on
reaching the hotel. He is now off the sick
list. De Montreville is always anxious TO
get into the game. and is Invariably uni
ioiiheu anu tedus " play HAL ali nOuT De-
fore bus time.
During Fridays game a high foul fly de-
scended near the Washington players
bench, and Capt. Ewing was jus: about to
gather it in, when McCauley, carried away
by the excitement, dropped a satchel in
front of the veteran. Ewing dropped the
ball, but the satchel did not escape a Wig
orous kick. The grip contained the play
ers' spare change and a few watches
Luckily McJames' was the only one to
show the effects of Ewing's anger.
O'Brien's fielding is excellent. He is also
hitting the ball hard, but seems unfortu-
nate In placing them safe.
Lush hit the center field fierce here with
line drive, and Mcclure came within
foot Of putting hit over the left field
fence. Mcguire is hitting in his old-time
form.
Silver King disappointed a good many
Cincinnati fans by not pitching a game
here. King was called home by telegram
Brown has been Handicapped with charley
horse, and is now out OF the game for a
few days with a badly torn finger nail.
When Bryan's name was posted on the
score board at the Cincinnati park Friday
afternoon, some one yelled Three cheers
for Mckinley and they were given with
enthusiasm enough to jar the foundations
of the granLstand.
Lush has been doing better work since
his shift over to center field.

C.. Il. DELEGATES,
What the Official Registration Show
us to Numbera


A statement of the registration reported
at headquarters was made in the tents last
evening, which showed that the exact fig
ures of the total registration are 81, 112
1t is believed that several thousands of
the delegates. probably more than eight
thousand, failed to register. so that with
the local Endeavorers and members of the
convention chorus included, it is estimated
that fully 5000 wearers of the c. E. mon
ogram have been within the limits Of the
city of Washington for the past six days.
The greatest registration ever reported
at q Christian Endeavor convention was
5000, which were the figures last year at
Boston. OF this number % ZOO were from
Massachusetts, alone, and 10000 reported
from New England. leaving 5000 delegates
from the country at large. More than that
number have visited the capital from out
side Its Immediate vicinity, so that in this
respect Washingtons total compares most
favorably with the largest of previous con-
ventions. An official statement has been
Issued by Chairman Stowel of the registra-
ton committee showing the totals nv
states. which are as follows:

Our New Hotel.-Work is progressing
on the Avenue House as rapidly as a
force OF 20 men can push it and the out
side walls will all be up before cold
weather sets in. The new block is
about 160 feet on Eastern avenue and
1S0 feet on Railroad street 1t will be
the most thoroughly constructed build
ing in this section, with fire walls suf-
ficlent to make Instruction by fire almost
impossible. Oa the first floor there will
he five stores on Eastern avenue and
three on Railroad street, averaging about
21X60. In the corner will be the hotel
Office, the tower part about 80 feet in
diameter and the main Office, 25x40.
From the office the guests can step
into the elevator and be carried to
their rooms above. On the second floor
will be the hotel parlors, dining room,
and probably "A few offices and sleeping
rooms. The third and fourth floors will
contain the sleeping rooms, in
all about one hundred splendid
large rooms with every modern conven-
ience. The hotel kitchen will be on the
second floor Of an addition to be built
parallel with the Opera House. The
addition will be of brick, two stories
high and in the same situation as the
oIJ E;tob,,
floor will probably be used for storage
purposes, refrigerator, etc. The floors Of
;he office and dining room will be of
different colored rubber tiling, which
makes an elegant floor and is almost
noiseless. The inside finish is not vet
decided upon, but it will be of the best.
The dining room will be about 40x60,
elegantly finished, and there will proba-
bly, be two parlors, fine, large rooms,
one of them connected with the tower.
1t will be six months yet before the
block is finished and ready for business,
but when it is done it will be building
that will reflect great credit upon this
village and upon the enterprise of the
builder, B. G. Howe, who has overcome
obstacles that would discourage most
men from attempting such big under
taking. The brick for the building are
being furnished and laid by NJ. H. Gibson
of ofRyegate and over 100000 will be
used in the construction of the block.
There will be larger hotels in the state,
but there will be none better equipped
for the business and better able to give
satisfaction to the travelling public.
When finished andiu running order will
be big advertisement for St. Johnsbury.

A Pleasing Entertainment.-A good

audience listened to the entertainment
given by Miss Eleanor g. Stephens and
MISS Jennie Poole in Music hall last Fri
day evening. Miss Poole's reading of
the play Captain January" was nicely
done and tor a young girl she displayed
excellent talent. Miss Stephens presented
80 dramatic attitudes of her own inven.
ton and did it with such excellent ex-
preston and style that an encore was
demanded. For the encore she gave
seven periods in the life of an unmarried
lady, which were well received as were
also her scarf iantastics. Miss Stephens
was accompanied in her attitudes by
Miss Florence M. Ranney, pianist, who
did good Work. The St. Jolnisbury or
chestra rendered several selections and
cornet solo by j. w. Batchelder pleased
the audience. The entertainment was
given under the direction Of Miss Stephens
and the excellent manner in which the
programme was carried out did her much
credit.
