The Finance Committee would have TO go

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
ST. GEORGES ISLAND Nd.

August 10, 1898.
A large number of Washingtonians have
been enjoying the cool breezes and the
Pleasures Of life salt water here at St
Georges Island this summer. This place is
especially fortunate in possessing large
fleet of first-class canoes and small sailing
vessels, and trips by water down to Point
Lookout and out into the bay or across to
the CoaE or Yeocomico river form pleas
ant feature of summer life There is no
letter place in the Potomac for fishing
than the neiyhhorhood of St. Georges ISL
and Small fish are usually plentiful, and
sheershead may be caught at some times
during the summer off Sheepshead Rock a
little distance from the island.
A large amount of truck gardening is
done by the inhabitants of st. Georges ISL
and, and this season has been good one in
that respect and much produce of various
sorts has been shipped to Washington and
baltimore. AS the oyster season COM
nlences to draw near the boats hereabouts
are beginning to get ready for the fall
work. this being the PRINCIPAL oyster depot
on the Potomac.
There is always plenty of amusement of
all sorts a sack race held recently af-
forded much pleasure to the spectators. if
not to the. participants. Another rather
novel event which took place lately was a
she'll race, which looks easy when watched,
but which involves running about a mile
al! told, for the contestants. There is talk
of organizing a cake walk among the col
o1ed people for the edification of the sum-
mer guests. Such a performance has usual
ly been held at least once every summer
heretofore, and never fails to afford the
Spectators much merriment.

He has an idea that the old Defender is al

Capt. Nat HERES hof has the new plans in

Messrs. Whitney, Vanderbilt and Duryea.

The rivals for last place in the league
race, the Senators and Tim Hurst's won
ders, came together yesterday, and, as one
or the other had to win, the home people
took the game. About four or five hundred
persons We're curious enough to make the
trip to the grounds, and about the only
time they were aroused was when Tommy
Tucker, in the sixth inning, induged in his
characteristic style of coaching. Tommy
was encouraged in his work by the crowd
and was given a hearty reception when he
stepped to the bat for the first time. Kill
len pitched his second game for the SEN
ators since his recent acquisition and for
five innings held the visitors down to two
hits. Then he let up in his work to vis-
IDLE extent, allowing HurSt'S men to make
nine hits in the remaining four innings.
IAughey twirled for the Browns, and was
touched up for fifteen hits for a total of
eighteen bases, Selbach knocking the ball
over Stencils head III the first inning for
triple. and Smith placing a double in right
in the fifth. Every man on the home team
got one or more hits but Mcclure, who, as
a man in the bleachers declared, reminded
him of Cartwright in the way he popped up
fly balls ReitZ got three hits out of four
times at the bat and he and his associates
played an erTorieSS game
Kiilen kept the eleven hits made off him
so well scattered that but two runs result
ed, while the Senators hits We're in almost
every instance productive of runs. The
home team started the run-getting in the
first inning, Seibach leading off with a
triple to the center-field fence. He scored
on Gettman's out at first. Carsey dropped
Anderson's fly in right; Andy stole second
went to third on McGuires grounder to
Tucker and home on Farrells single to
center. In the fourth inning two more
runs went to the credit of the Senators.

Gettmans hit to third forced Killen. An

Selbach scored, Gettman also scoring on

steal of second, ReitZ's. safe bunt and
Smiths double added another run to the
Senators score.
In the sixth inning the visitors scored
their first run. Dowd singled to left, went
to second on Stencils short fly back of

man and home on Cross fly to Gettman.

game and having good team work The
work of Davis in particular was brilliant

partner, his great fault being the net
