Brooklyn, N. Y. September IA
Brooklyn won a well4played game from
New York this afternoon. 1t was Sey-
mour against Dunn, and although the
New Yorks made one more hit than
their opponents, Dunn pitched the bet
ter game. The teams will play off a
postponed game tomorrow. Sheck-

played his first game with Brooklyn
and did well. Score:

Washington, September 1.-THE last
game of the season on the Washing
ton grounds was poorly played by both
teams but full of the uncertainty which
keeps up interest. Miller hurt his left
hand in sliding and could not play.
The finish, when four singles and a
base on balls brought in the winning
run, was one of wild excitement. The
game was called at the end of the
sixth inning on account of darkness.

Baltimore, Nc, September 14.-The
Champions won to-day from Chicago
in game characterized by heavy bat
ting on both sides. Thornton's pitch
ing was poor and he rarely found the
plate, but when he did the home team
had no difficulty in hitting safely. Mr..
Pond was also batted freely, but man

inee and evening. the Vaudeville Club.
last half Of week. Darkest America
When the audience on a second
night is larger than the opening night,
it is an unerring indication of a meri-
torious attraction, and judged by this
standard, the Vaudeville Club has
made a pronounced hit with the na-
irons of the Grand Opera House. It
is certainly one of the strongest attrac-
lions which Manager Feinler has book
ed for the season. The acrobatic act
would be a feature of any show. The
head balancing and spinning OF the
Panther brothers is truly marvellous.
The dancing, singing and comedy
sketches are far beyond the average
in point of merit. "A Girl From
China. is a musical extravaganza
which is bright and lively throughout,
gorgeously costumed and enacted by
company of good singers and dancers,
and a bevy of very attractive chorus
girls. The engagement will close with
matinee and evening performances to-
day.

with his usual good judgment. has not
only selected first class talent, but has
introduced a great variety of material
of a novel and original character and
arranged the programme in an admir-
able manner. There is plenty of good
dancing, much popular music. both

CONCERT BY BLIND PUPILS-In spite
of the unfavorable weather, a good-sized
audience attended the concert Of the Mary
land School for the Blind at Lafayette
Square Opera House yesterday afternoon.
Those who took part in the performance
were all pupils of various degrees of adj
vancement, at the school, and from the
high-class musical efforts Of the older
students to the performances Of the little
tots in the kindergarten class the exhibit
ton was little short Of marvellous. With
only the senses Of touch and hearing to
rely upon, the kindergarten class gave an
exhibition drill in calisthenics and march

countermarched, formed squares, hexa-

CLOSING OF THE GRAND.-This will be
the last week of vaudeville at the Grand
Opera House, and tomorrow night the

the regular season. Finances had nothiEg
to do with this arrangement. as the COM
panies booked have been drawing well, and
the performance last night was more large
ly attended than any of the others. The
closing was decided upon last Wednesday,
when Fritz" Emmett and others in the

Clara Morris and Pauline Hall announced
their determination to LAY off, during the

show here next year, was unwilling to
keep open on half showing, and hence the

That new air motor imported by the re-

still balky, not yet having gotten over its

spectator concerning 1t is to the effect that
yesterday morning about 1870 o'clock an
other Intellectual effort was made to in
duce It to ascend the little grade on T
street to Sd street. 1t was accompanied
on foot by two white and three colored
men, armed with crowbars and other in
struments of persuasion while the expert
manipulated the controlling apparatus, but
after backing and forwarding the machine,
blocking the way Of two trolley cars and
delaying rapid transit for several minutes,
they finally succeeded In getting 1T far
west as the switch on T street, distance
of one short block, when the obstinate,
notifying thing was allowed to back down
grade to the opposite track and return to
the power house.
