THE HUBBARD COLLECTION.
Objectionable Feature of the joint
Resolution Eliminated.

In the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr..
Hoar called UP the joint resolution author
izing the librarian of Congress to accept
the collection of engravings proposed to be
donated to the Library of Congress by Mrs.
Gertrude NJ. Hubbard.
The Senate declined to pass this resolu-
tion some time ago because it provided the
collection should be kept in an apartment
to be known as the Gardiner Green Hub
bard gallery. To eliminate this objection
Mr. Hoar amended the resolution with the
following provision:
Except that instead of naming the gal
lery in the library as therein proposed, the
collection shall be known and styled as the
Gardiner Green Hubbard collection, it not
being, in the opinion of Congress, desirable
to call parts of the public buildings after
the names of individual citizens, and that
the bust therein named be accepted and
kept in a suitable place, to be designated
by the joint committee on the library.
With this amendment the resolution was
passed.

AMATEUR RIFLE CLUB,
Some Fine Scores Made by the Marks
men.


The last but one of the team competitions
of the Amateur Rifle Club has been held
and was well attended. Some fine scores
were made. The shooting is all done from
the standing position. and at 200 yards dis
tance. This is the most difficult practice
for the marksman, and it is well known
that a good "off-hand' marksman can
shoot well in any of the other positions,
such as the kneeing and prone positions,
where the body or arms have some solid
support to rest upon.
New members have presented themselves
and will accompany the team to the
"Schuetzenfest' at Glendale Park Long Is
land, N. Y. Capt ]. s. Tomlinson is a new
member, and will be on the team Of cracks
that will start on Fourth of July morning
to join in the contests for the big prizes
]. A. Massie Of Company A, Engineer
Battalion, with sharpshooters record of
S42, will also join the club. Another pros
pective member is G. G. Hammer, who
learned to shoot the rifle among the Vir-
ginia hills, picking off the heads of squir-
rels with the open-sighted rifles of muzzle-
loading days. The prospects for the sue
cess of the District of Columbia marksmen
are bright. to judge from the following
scores, which were shot In a changing wind
with the glare Of strong sunlight to dazzle

CINCINNATI COMMENT.
What the Queen City Papers Say of
the Washington Club and Players.

thC StuD unu f1nyeFS.
While Breitenstein's pitching was very
bad the fact must not be overlooked that
the Washington team played a strong game
of ball. With the best kind of pitching 1t
would have taken fine ball playing to have
beaten them.
II can sympathize with Bill HILL" said
Umpire Swartwood yesterday. Zone of
Donovan's inshoots hit me above the ankle
and thought 1 was going to lose my leg.
1 have a very fair idea of how that jolt felt
behind Still Bilrs ear"
Gus weighing is as good as he ever was.
He has everything that any good pitcher
has. Speed, command, change of pace and
good shoots and curves are in his reper-
toire Good for the old-timer He has
been godsend to the Washington Club.
The quality of the balls furnished the
league doesn't seem to worry the WASH
ingtons a little bit. They hit all kinds, but
they seem to Ike speed better than any.

Praise for Umpire HeydIer.

From the Pittsburg News.
The first day Umpires Cushman and
Heydler offciated in Pittsburg the opinion
was expressed that with due notice to all
that had been laid at the door Of Umpire
Heydler in the east. his work here was
better than any umpire had given the
bases up to that time. The New York
games confirmed that IMPRESSION and un-
less there has been complete reversal of
his methods there must be something
wrong about the savage criticisms that
were flung at him in the east. He is
prompt and accurate on every play and it
does not seem likely that he made sud
den change on coming to Pittsburg. He
watches the bases and base runners more
closely than the other assistant umpires,
and refuses to overlook the bluffs of the
basemen on close plays. One result of
that is that the base runners get their due
more often from Heydler than from any
umpire in Pittsburg this season. Judged
by his work here there are several men on
the staff who do not rank with him as
competent official

Selbach would be a welcome addition to
the Cincinnati club. The local rooters have

Doyle has been in and out of so many en-

perhaps Jack Is little hard to get along
with.
1t is no wonder that Brooklyn didn't turn
Anderson adrift without getting something
for him. He's worth every dollar of the
$1,000 that Washington gave for him. His
luck of falling on Smiths long hit in that
batting rally and smothering it was a clev-
er one. Had he let 1t hit the fence 1t would
likely have caromed, and instead of Brett
being caught at the plate, his man would
nave gone home, and Smith would have
had two-bagger. The Washington club
can shake hands with itself for getting An

One of the attaches Of the Washington
