MOTORHEN FINED.
Speed on Capital Traction Road Ex.
ceeds Lawful Limit

Samue! Garrett and William Lewis. Cap-
ital Traction motormen, were before Judge
Scott in the Police Court today charged
with running their cars faster than the law
allows The complainants in the cases
were Policeman Robertson and Dodge of
the bicycle squad. Garrett's car was run
ming at the rate of twenty-four miles an
hour, the policeman said. while Lewis car
was making twenty-five miles Friday
night between IL and II o'clock the officers
timed the defendants between the White
House and Washington Circle.
Mr.. g. Thomas Dunlop who represented
the defendants. did not question the Of
ficers- He said that where the proof in a
case is sufficient, the railroad COMPANY will
make no defense. The company he said
has adopted schedule, and the men do not
have to exceed the legal limit II they do
so they will have to stand the conse-
quences- Both men charged, he said, are
careful motormen.
The defendants in their own behalf denied
the charge, and said they did not believe
that car could make such speed and be
stopped at So short a notice.
Judge Scott fined the men s. each and
said that II arrests continue to be made
the fine will be increased.
Mr.. Dunlop made another plea for the
men. hoping to have their fines reduced,
but the court required them to pay the
amounts imposed.

In the pitching averages the Washington

the list. Mercer being thirty and Gus thir-
ty-four out of a bunch of thirty-five. Grif
fth leads the list and Ehret Is at the foot.
Why all this kicking about a bad season
and losing money? The season is early
yet, and the clubQ that are losing oney,
Cleveland excepted, are the ones that are
playing was looked for-Boston New York
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Pittsburg, Cincin-
nati, Chicago. St. Louis and Louisville
have all done well, Baltimore Washington
and Cleveland being the ones tagging be-
mind. Baltimore is paying the penalty of
having a great team for two years and
then losing the championship. Cleveland
never did draw well AMI never will. while
Washington's bad start has kept the at
tendance down. St. Louis has done better
than fo. years. and the other clubs have
acknowledged to their local paper repre-
sentatives that they have made little
money. Not every club can be in the first
division, but the clubs that are playing
well are not losing money. Stick a pin
there. War has affected the attendance
very little. but bad weather and poor play
ing have brought about the reported finan-
cial stump.

The Capital City Gun Club will hold a
meeting tonight at Mr.. r. w. Barkers
11tn street between F and G, where it Is
probable that the conditions for q season
shoot for a club trophy will be fixed. 1t is
expected that a number of applica tions for
membership will be received. There are
many excellent shots in the District who
have not enjoyed their guns between field
shooting seasons simply because facilities
were not ample or convenient, but now
that such convenient and attractive shoot
ing grounds have been secured they will
doubtless take advantage OF them. All
shooters. whether club members or not, are
welcomed at the Highlands at any time to
use the traps of the club. and so anxious
is the organization to further interest in
shooting that guns and shells have been
placed in the keeping of Messrs. Hayden
and Benton, the managers of the club
house, for the accommodation of those who
do not care to carry their own equipments
ont.
There will be another all-day tournament
July 4, and special prizes will be given in

RIDE TO FREDERICK
Century of the Levant Wheelmen
Run Yesterday.
SENATORS BEATEN BY C0LONELS
Course in the Saratoga Lake Boat
Race.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

The century run of the Levant wheelmen
to Frederick took place yesterday. The to-
tai number of entries was seventy-three.
About ten riders of this number failed to
complete the run.
The roads were in a fairly good condi-
ton. although rather heavy with dust at
places. The day was an ideal one, and
throughout cool breeze was stirring
Promptly at 6 o'clock the pacemakers
mounted their wheels and the run was
started,
The route was over the Washington
Frederick course and the time allowed for
the run was fourteen hours, according to
the rules of the Century Road Club of
America.
The start was made from 18th and K
streets for Olney, nineteen and half miles
distant. At SID the pacemaker left Olney
for Damascus, fourteen miles away. and
after short stop proceeded for New Mar
ket. eight miles from Frederick.
Ihe pacemakerS reached Frederick with
the first bunch of riders at 1870, and
stop for dinner was made at this point.
At 40 in the afternoon the signal was
gwen, and the start for New Market on the
return trip made. Olney was reached short
ly before o O'Clock, and the first of the
dust-covered riders appeared in Washing
ton just before dusk.
The silver loving cup which was offered
for the club finishing the largest percentage
of riders was contested for by only two of
the local clubs.
The Century Cycle Club carried out thirty
n.en and finished twen:y-eight. The Arling-
tons, while they did not enter as many men,
finished in good STYLE. The cup Will in all
probability go to the Century club.
During the trip several wheels were
broken ana the riders were obliged to give
up the trip and return to the city.
Each OF the survivors will be presented
with handsome medal by the committee
in charge of the run, appointed by the Le-
want Wheemen.
Messrs. E. S. Byrnes and L. H. Keller of
the Century club. mounted on a tandem,
finished the run in good shape. The first
tripiet which has ever made this run was
manned by j. J. Fister Tony Galeski
and r. B. Posey of the Century club, and
finished with the first bunch of riders, de-
spite several accidents.

AN ERROR AND HITS BUNCIaD.
Combination Was Too Much for the
Senators.

OmbinatiOn Was Too Much for the
Senators.
Dineens Wild throw past Doyle in the
eighth inning to catch Fred Clarke off first
and a bunch of hits that followed by the
Louisville Colonels were responsible for the
defeat of the Senators Saturday. OF course
had the Washington men been able to con-
meet with the curves and straights sent at
them by Ehret, the visiting twirler, they
might. and probably would, have overcome
DineeEs mishap and the bottling doses
thrice administered to them, but six safe
hits, made one an inning. is neyer produc-
tive of many runs, particularly when the
opposing pitcher Is steady and we'll backed
UP, as was Ehret.
Up to the eighth inning the game was
pretty contest. At the commencement of
that innirg the score stood = to l, in favor
OF the home team, each team having scored
one run in the fourth inning, and the Wash
1ngton men one in the seventh. In the
fourth inning, although Dexter had an in
field hit beaten, Wagner. the local third
baseman, snapped the ball over 20 Doyle's S
heiSnbornood. 1t passed over Doyle's head
and while he was running it down Dexter
went to second. Staffords single to center
sent him home. In their half of the inning
the Washington people evened up matt ers
Doyle bUnted and Ehret raped Anderson
across the fingers. MCGuire's sacrifice put
the runners on second and third, McHale
'oih4hS <fHueiS sun pidCe III the game, ana
on a. Wagn9r'S hit TO Richie Doyle by
fine slide, reached home safely. In the sew
enth inning Reitz hit to left center for two
bases, going TO third while the visiting first
baseman was fumbling Wrigley's gruunder
and home on Gettman's fly TO Dexter
In the next inning the kentuckians set
tied matters. Clarke hit to rIgnt for a base
and while he was dancing off first Dineen
got in his will throw, the manager of the
ColcEeis going to third. Ritchle then hit 4
slow ons to Reitz, who just failed to throw
Clarke out at the plate. Hoy's single to
right placed Rltchie on third, ana both
scored on Dexter's two-bagger to the left
field fence down the foul line. Score-I to z

NEGLECTED ORNAMENTAL
CLIMBER

The ornamental climber introduced
In 1893 by a Philadelphia florist and
seedman is not as we'll known as de-
serves to be, by reason of its thrift
and beauty. 1t is Centrosema grandi-
flora, hardy perennial, but readily
started from seeds sown in April
Growth is rapid and plant A.essoms
almost as soon as a pea vines The
flowers are inversely pea-shaped and
quite large, many being from two to
two and half inches in diameter
The color runs through the shades
from rosy violet to reddish purple.
Through the center of each flower runs
a broad feathered band of white, and
the large buds and the outside surface
of the flowers being also white at a
little distance plant appears to bear
blossoms of several colors. Occasion
ally we find a plant with pure white
flowers. The blossoms are produced
in clusters, and the foliage is sweetly
fragrant. 1t continues to blossom I'M
til quite late in the season. 1t might
be we'll to remember the centrosema
next spring.

neighbors have, they do not wish to
make exchanges, as Is common In coun-
try places, so they keep their pure
bred fowls and as these cost quite a
good bit the males are not changed for
others as often as need be, and the
result Is disastrous In more ways then
one. Even II the eggs do hatch, and
the young fowls live they will not make
as good layers as those not inbred.

stock Is poor and you wish to add a

bred male. Then keep the hens in a
low ration for a day or SO, some keep
them entirely from food, and then al
low the male to mate them. The result
Is that the young will take on the quail
tiles of the male bird, and the greater
portion of the chicks Matched will look
almost like pure-bred fowls. In this
way flock can soon be brought up to
an excellent standard.-R. s. M. in

COWS THIN In FLESH.

1t is the practice of many farmers to
give the breeding cow no grain or
other rich food after the milk flow dries
up. This is usually caused by the in
creasing demands of the foetus, which
takes all that the COW can supply. On
diet of corn stalks, with possibly a
little hay, the COW will live until spring
when she is due to farrow, but she will
become very thin in flesh, the COW
gradually growing poorer in order to
sustain the increasing demands of the
foetus. This is a great injury to the
cow. 1t is not necessary or best that
she should be fattened, but at least
enough nutritious food should be given
to maintain what flesh she had when
she was dried off, With cows that give
very much or very rich milk excessive
feeding may cause some difficulties as
the time for parturition approaches.
But until this time is neared plenty OF
nutritious food may be given with safe
ty and to the benefit of the whole sea-
sons milk product. With a really
good COW most of the fat she has on
her will go into the milk pail before the
summer Is over. A cow thin in flesh
is pretty sure to give milk poorer in
fats and less in quantity than she
should.-Boston Cultivator.

CANADIAN SYSTEM OF FATTEN-
ING PIGS.

Charles w. Lennon, one of Arm
ours hog buyers, has just returned
from ten days trip to Canada, where
he went on business for his firm. His
mission was to look into the system of
fattening hogs in that country. He
put in his time in the western part of
Ontario, where he was royalty treated
by everybody he came in contact with,
especially the farmers, live stock deal
ers and packers. He says Canadian
hogs are fed on ground peas, barley,
rye and shorts, and they are generally
marketed when they weigh 160 to 200
pounds. In fact buyers discriminate
against all weights over 300 pounds,
and 240 and $50 pound averages sell
from 20 to 80 cents below the 160 to
200 pound bacon grades. Their hogs
are mostly all on the singing order,
being long and thin. Packers there,
he says, discriminate against short,
chunky hogs, such as the Chicago
packers and shippers seem to want.
The Canadian packers buy most of
their hogs in this country, having
their buyers out all the time.-Chicago
Drovers' Journal.
