MACKEY'S BRILLIANT PASS.
1t Was the Feature OF Washington
Cadet Basketball Game.

The Washington Athletic Club and the
Corcoran Cadets played an exciting
league game of basketball last night, in
the gymnasium of the former organization,
on South Capitol street. The game was
one of the closest contested ever played
in Washington.
The teams were almost evenly matched,
and the fate of the game hung in the
balance until the last moment of play.
A pleasant feature of the contest was
the entire absence of rough play, or ILL
feeling between the teams. Only three
free throws were allowed during the entire
match, and these Were given for holding
the ball and not for any sluggng or foul
tactics.
The best playing for the W. A. C. was
done by Capt. Mackey, Vermilion and
James, while Clark, E. Davis and Dodge
put up the strongest game for the Cadets.
In the beginning Of the game Mackey made
a splendid pass, which was feature OF
the match, but this was equaled by several
brilliant plays of the Corcorans.

Neilsson Reigns Supreme.

Joe Donoghue Won host of friends in
Washington by his fine skating last year,
but it is safe TO say that Neilsson now reigns
supreme in the favor Of the local skaters
His work in every line is the very acme
of skill and grace, and withal he is fair
and sportsmanlike at every stage of his
contests.
His speed performances are, if anything,
more remarkable than his exhibition work,
and as has been stated, two records We're
smashed in wonderful time last evening
The first event was slated for o'clock,
and promptly at that hour Nelson ap-
peared upon the ice for his trial against
the one mile record of 2: 3S, made at the
Ice Palace by doe Donoghue last winter
AT the flash of the pistol the racer was
off and it was seen that the terrific speed
meant lowering OF the record if the pace
could he sustained. For three laps the
maroon and white sweater flashed around
the track in its meteor-like course and then
came a Slight slackening until the finisti-
ing lap, when another beautiful squirt oc-
