Georgetown University nine yesterday
defeated Lafayette College by IL to s. The
Georgetown boys outbatted and outfielded
The Pennsylvanians, and the heavy batters
OF the team increased their individual bat
ting averages. Dowd, for Georgetown, was
very effective and, except in the second
and ninth innings. the visitors could do
nothing with his puzzling delivery
The weather was little too cold for
good base ball. but, nevertheless, an excit-
ing game was played. Nevirs, the star
pitcher Of the Lafayettes, proved an easy
mark and the locals hit him safely an
even dozen times. Georgetown started in to
score in the first inning and made q tally.
which was increased to three when Lafay.
cite went to the bat for the second inning.
The visitors by opportune hitting and a
couple of misplays tied the score in their
half Of this inning. The heaviest hitting
was done by Georgetown in the third inn
1rg, and, with total OF five hits and q
couple Of errors by the visitors, they sent
three men across the rubber. LAFAYETTE
drew a blank in its half and GEORGETOWN
clinched its victory in the fourth when
Fleming's home run, Saffords ree-bagger
and thu ee singles gave them three more
runs. Each side scored in the fifth and
then each drew atblank until Georgetown.
In the beginning Of the eighth, scored enc
on errors. p II
With the score II to against them, the
visitors started III to, do something, An
error gave the first man up a base, and
hard drive by Nevinsi past third put two
men on the bases. Ahether- error. a base
on balls and a clean hit by Waldridge
scored three men, The score was now II

INTEREST IS INCREASING
The Washington Horse Show Attracting
Widespread Attention.
HOrsemen and Society People Are
Looking Forward to 1t With
Pleasant Expectation.

With each recurring day the evidences
grow stronger that the Washington horse
show to be held in Convention Hall May
H. 8, and z, will be a great success in
every particular. The announcements of
the classes and the conditions to be met
by exhibitors were sent out two weeks ago
and the replies being received indicate that
the interest taken in the event is even
more widespread than was at first believed.
Manager Field this morning received let
tiers from horsemen in Canada who con-
&C ntemplate coming to the show, notwith-
standing the fact that the Toronto horse
show has been fixed for the same date as
that in this city. He also got letter from
Kansas City, the writer Of which promises
his personal attendance and to bring two
of his horses with him If they kept their
present form and condition.
While the local polo enthusiasts are
quietly preparing TO get the best of each
other in the polo pony classes. they will
not be allowed to get away with the prizes
without stiff contest, because string
from New York city and another from
Philadelphia will come, and the probabili-
ties are strong that a bunch from West
Chester county, New York, will also be
sent down.
Lively Demand for Boxes.
The interest that society has taken IN the
show is emphasized by the anxiety of the
fashionables to secure the most eligible
boxes. The executive committee of the
horse show, after considering the matter
thoroughly, decided that no Partially
should be shown in the disposition of the
seventy-two boxes that will front the east
and west sides of the horse-show ring, but
in spite Of this action. many persons have
Ell deavored to have it rescinded, SO far as
their individual desires were concerned
but without success. All the boxes and the
season tickets will be placed on sale at
Droop's Monday morning. The disposal Of
members badges will be made later on.
Baltimore's Set Aroused.
Baltimore is showing almost as much in
terest in the coming show as Washington
is. The members Of the Elkridge Hunt Club
are preparing to make a good account Of
themselves, and the ladies of the monu-
mental city are no less animated. 1t
seems to be assured now that several Bal
timore ladies will ride their own horses and
drive their own turnouts in the appropriate
classes at the show.
Prominent livery stablemen In the city
are making preparations to accommodate
the numerous horses that will come to the
show and box stalls are being added to
several of the well-known stables.

THOMAS YET UNBEATEN.
Spring Tourney of the Washington
Chess Club.

The spring tournament of the Washing
ton Chess Club promises to be very inter-
esting. 1t is yet too early to predict any,
thing about the winners. Mr.. Thomas is in
the lead, having won all three games play
ed by him. Mr.. Harris has won more
games but has lost one, which reduces his
percentage. Mr.. Hanna has advanced TO
third place, and Messrs. O'Farrell and Odell
are tied for fourth place. Mr.. Thomas has
continued to improve, ard with more ex-
perience will give the best local players
trouble. Mr.. Odell has gotten over the
nervousness incident to his Introduction to
match play, and is playing winning chess
In the third round Thomas won from
Adair, Odell from Gwyer and Harris from
Campbell Harris also played his second
game with O'Farrell, and won from the
captain. The game between Odell and
Gwyer was a pretty exhibition of chess
playing.
