Marked For Identification.

To all opera goers the halo surround
ing Signor Arditi's head is familiar
and the maestro tells good story abou
it at his own expense. 1t was in the
days when the Mapleson Opera com
pany, from Her Majesty's, was in Amer
lea, and at ono Of the towns Arditi went
to cash an opera check payable to him:
self and made out by the impresario.
He reached the bank and presented the
paper to the cashier, who looked at the
check, then at him and said: Il must
have some proof Of identity. This is an
open check. You may be Mr.. Arditi, o.
you may not. "
This was awkward, for the musician
had no card or papers with him whereby
to set the question Of identity at rest,
and he did not want to have journey
back to his hotel At last a bright idea
struck him.
do you ever go to the opera?' he
asked the cashier.
Eyes, have gone several times, re-
piled the cashier.
"Then, cried the musician. turning
round suddenly and lifting his hat, "do
you mean to tell me you don't know

WINGED the cashier, and, with many pro-
fuse apologies, the money was at once
paid. Chicago News.

The Columbian University zine Of this
city and that of Washington and Lee play
ed a close game on the grounds of the lat
ter institution yesterday, the home team
winning by 5 to 4. Beard, for Columbian,
allow ed the home team but six hits. while
Pratt, for Washington and Lee, gave the
Washington boys but four hits, and struck
out eighteen men. The home team made
seven errors, while three are charged to
Columbian. The game was won in the first
inning for Washington and Lee when
Rosebro knocked home run over the
fence, with two men on bases. C. Fugitt
made brilliant oEe-hand catch, running
backward, which was the feature of the
game. The score:

Georgetown has felt the loss of a catcher

had u few passed balls, of course, but the
fnshnots of the giant collegian are hard to

them get away from the little catcher. Be-

ORIOLES GILT-EDGED FIELDING.
1t Prevented the Senator's From
Placing the Ball.

The hoodoo remains rrbroken. 1t is a
matter of base ball record for several years
that Washington couldn't do a thing to
speak of in the way of interrupting the
flight of the Orioles, and judging from the
games Saturday and yesterday with Ed
Hanlon's "champeens" it would seem that
the season Of 1896 will be no exception. The
Baltimores won yesterday mainly because
young McJameS was by no means afforded
the gilt-edged support that fell to the lot
of Hoffer, and ne was himself as wild as
an unbroken broncho

Washington with a small score, and the
pitchers were the controlling magnets but

Those who visited the Benning track yes
to-day had the satisfaction Of looking upon
one of the greatest horses ever bred in this
country, Mr.. Belnont's Henry of Navarro.
Between the third and fourth races the
morse was paraded, with Griffin up, before
the grand stand, and then, after being
legged around to the three-quarter pole,
was breezed through the stretch, going the
quarter IN about % seconds. The horse, a
magnificent type Of the thoroughbred, never
appeared in better condition, his rich chest
nut coat shining like satin, and his APP
learance Wa; the signal for enthusiastic
applause. Hyland, his trainer, said ycster-
day that the horse would be ready to race
in about two weeks. Today The stable will
leave for WeStchester after having sent
but one representative to the post during
the present neutrality-suspicious.. AT the fall
meeting here the stable will be prominently
heard from.
