their outing in New England, and We're In
duced to attend the meeting. In those days
whist was played to a considerable extent
at the club, but the club had not made
reputation for its experiences in that d.
reCtion outside OF the city. At the meet
ing was a pair of players who had defeat

them stood any show. 1t looked as though
they were going to have a walk over. In
the party from this city were Bingham
and Horace Dodge. Their experience away
from home was limited but they thought
they could not fare worse than had the
others. So they were offered as the next
victims, as 1t was supposed. They, how
ever. won the match, to the qualification
of large number of other previously de-
feeted clubs, who treated the visitors like
lords.
The c. Bi. C.'s were represented at
Brooklyn in 1891 by Messrs. Low. Bling
ham, Wooten and Eakins. They lost their
first ma tch, but thereafter won five straight
matches, and tied the Milwaukee club for
the trophy. The last match won by them
was from the celebrated Hamilton CLUB
of Philadelphia. The latter confident
of winning, and fore starting to play
arranged with the Milwaukee club to play
off the tie with the latter the next morn

coached by Mr.. Stafford, the whist expert.
He was familiar with the tactics of the
Hamiltons, and advised slow, careful play.
His advice was needed. One Of the players

AT Philadelphia in 1888 the team from
this city consisted of Wooten, Stafford Bar
rick and Low. The first club to play them
was the Baltimores, consisting of Dr.
Walls, now of this city; A. II. McCay, Du-
vail and Whelan, and the latter won the
match by four tricks in ninety-six hands
No predictions are being made as to the
outcome this year, but the local teams

been SO much ginger and snap displayed
about the club house.
1t was about two months ago that Mr.
=. w. Schneider for many years active in
everything pertaining to the welfare of the
Gao, conceived the idea that out of the
thousands of bicycle riders in Washington
many were without club facilities and that
10 these men the Columbia Athletic Club
offered many Inducements For a long
time. entirely unaided, he worked diligent-
ly on this idea, and one fine night present

lions from active wheelmen for admission
10 membership. Then came the proposition
TO reduce the dues of the club from forty
10 twenty-foGr dollars a year. and to put
the house on cash basis-that is to give
no more house credit. These propositions
met with remarkable popularity and to-
nlght the club assemblies in special meeting

them. Mr.. Schneider's list Of new names

GEN. HARR1soN's ENGAGEMENTS.
He VIII Not Make Speeches Through
out the State.

w. T.. Durbin, Indiana member of the
national committee, came down from Chi
cago yesterday to consult with some of the
Indiana leaders about the prospect in this
State. He takes a very hopeful view of the
campaign throughout the West and says
that the committee feels certain of Ne
braska, and will be surprised if the Re
publicans do not carry several Western
States. He says that Wisconsin and Mchi-
gan are safe, and he believes Illinois is
also very sure to go Republican. There is
much work yet to be done in Minnesota,
and the coEasGittee is somewhat concerned
about love- When asked about the pros
pect of having some speeches in Indiana
from General Harrison he<replied:
He will not agree to make any speeches
in this State. l have received a letter from
him within the last ten days, in which he
says that he cannot take assignments to
speak. He has two magazine articles to
write and he has law case in Cincinnati
Oct. 6. He will probably get back here
about Oct. L.
dianapoEs Republicans that he win make
them a speech late in the campaign, and
has not recalled the engagement Repub
licans through the State are sending per-
sistent demands TO headquarters for Har-
rison to speak in various localities, but the
officers of the State committee have no
knowledge as to whether or not his
with any of these requests during October.
They have little hope of being able to pur-
suade him to make tour OF the State
on a special train as he did in 1894.
