In statu Quo.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day, was not of unusual
duration, but extreme difficulty was
encountered in obtaining details con-
corning it. The Cabinet officers, how
ever, authorized this much: The sit
uation on Spanish affairs remains un-
changed; the Presidents message is
practically completed and is now being
copied; the President proposes to send
it to Congress tomorrow; the message
and the general condition of affairs
were discussed, of course, quite fully
but no chsnges had appeared which
required any elaborate discussion of
new measures.

The Greenhorns went up against the
Brights Wednesday on the Washington
street grounds and met their Waterloo.
There was not a good feature in the game
save the running of both teams. Burgess
did the twirling for the Brights and he
would have been easy for a team that
knew the rudiments of batting. but the
Greens were unable to reach him. He
gave them five hits and seven bases on
balls. The hits all counted and they
brought home the players on the bases.
which speaks but poorly for the fielding
of the Brights, though their score does
not give any mention of errors. There
was one player who knows the game
among the Brights. He is Walsh, the first
baseman, who had eleven chance and
embraced them all. The Greenhorns de-
pended on j. Kivlin to do the twirling and
they were poorly off in this quarter. The
Brights hit him nine times and got eleven
bases on balls. All they needed was a
base. and the very poor fielding of the
Greenhorns insured a run as soon as a
player reached first base. The Greens
made eleven errors and had no regard for
time of making or Importance of avoid
ing the plays. thinner played first and
he filled the position but poorly. Twice
he fell all over himself and let throws
pass him tina should ave been caught.

present were s. B. Standfast. Brooklyn c.
G.; F. G. Warburton. Paterson G. G.;
Jerome Flannery, Manhattan g. c.; A.
Nugent, Kings County G. G., and Arthur
Parker, Kearny c. G.
It was decided to declare the Roseville
Cricket Club disbanded because of their
forfeiting four scheduled championship
games, especially the one with the Brook
Ign Club, which brought the Brooklyn
players TO Roseville, where they ound no
one to meet them. This resolution was
adepted:-sThe association team of the
Roseville C. C. shall be considered to have
disbanded, and all games played by thar
club and games scheduled to be played
shall be stricken from the records"
This will materially alter the percent
ages of all the teams and also the aver
ages of the players.
1T was then decided to bring the number
from 800 to 225 to make a bowler eligible
to, the bowling prize. These players will

Sporting events, and especially wheel
ing, has had a very serious set back this

there are hut very few events on the cal-
endar. Some say it is the war, some say
other reasons are the cause of che lack
Of interest. The local orgaAizaupns feel
this as much and more thansout Of town
clubs. and they are not doing anything
that demands an outlay Of money in the
fear that the returns Will snow a balance
on the wrong side of the ledger. The two
best cases for the Illustration of this feel
ing is the decision of the Catholic Club
not to hold its annual athletic meet this
season, and the same decision being made
by the Castle Point Cyclers not to hold

considered. while with the wheeling the
fear is that the members will not turn

meeting that they know is not interesting
