tfOnal Athletic Contests.
The joint committee in charge of tho
forthcoming athletic contests between the
teens of Yale and Harvard and Oxford and
Cambridge universities, at the Queens
Club, West Kensington, London, held its
hrst official meeting yesterday at Brighton.
The status of Burke and Quinlan of the
American team was discussed, and it was
concluded that no objection to them would
hold for a moment. Mr.. jackson was EN-
phauc in denouncing the English newspa-
pers that originated the controversy.
The object of yesterdays meeting was to
harmoniZe the English and American anna
tour athletic rules, which vary in some
particulars. In order that the cont sts NAV
be carried out under conditions that shall
be lnd1sputable, it was agreed that the hur-
Gle races should be run under American
conditions, over loose instead of fixed hur-
dies, and that each side should follow its
own custom in hammer throwing. 1t was
also agreed that the high jump should be
taken from the turf in the middle of the
grounds, instead of the cnderpath Snme
minor details with regard to the long junn
were also adjusted

Record of the Clubs,
ONLY TWO ERRORS.
But They Were Enough to Give
Louisville the Game.

Louisville the Game.
The game at National Park Saturday
afternoon in which the Louisvilles defeated
the Senators to 1 was of the exasperating
kind. With the exception of one inning, in
which two errors were made the home club
played good ball, but those two misplays
were just enough to hand over the game to
the Colonies. An easy bail was knocked to
Atherton, fairly fast grounder, that the
big fellow usually handles clean, but this
time he fumbed, and instead of making a
double play two runs crossed the plate.
Then that usually reliable fielding tWirler,
Gus weighing, came to the front with a
wild throw to the plate, and two more tai
lies scampered over the rubber. In oppo-
sition to these two errors the Colonies
played fast, errorless ball, and it was not
until the eighth inning that the one soil
tary run was chased over the plate. Kit
fridge was given base on balls, and took
second on Weyhings second safe hit. Sla-
giles hit to short forced weighing, but car
r1ed Kilt to third, from where he tailed on
OBrien's long fly to Hoy in center field.
Leftpaw Bowling and weighing were the
twirlers, and battle royal would have
suited but for the two misplays mentioned.
But six hits were made off Of Bowling, and
three of these were of the scratch order.
Fly after fly went to the outfield a weak
hit to the infielders. and as the Colonies
play was of the stone wall order all the
taps went for nothing. With the excep-
ton of the second inning weighing twirled
clever ball. but eight safeties being tailed
on his delivery but they We're mixed up
with the two errors and were valuable.
Ever since the Senators and Colonies
have been members of the National League
or American Association the Kentuckians
have been hard nuts to crack. and this sea-
son there is no exception to the rule. They
have landed but one victory in Baltimore
this season and none at all last year, but the
Senators can defeat the Orioles, while the
Colonels have clean score of victories
charged against the locals SO far this sea-
son. But that is base ball.

From the Philadelphia Press.
A woman whose claim to being the old
est woman in the world is undisputed is
Mrs. Mary Macdonald. now an inmate of
the Home for Aged and Intirm Colored
Persons, at 400 Girard avenue. 1ester-
| day she celebrated her 10th New Years
day, and from present indications 1t will
not be her last. r.,s.4
Mrs. Macdonald was born on Nov. Ia,
ITO, and she consequently remembers the
war of American Independence. She tells
a thrilling story of the skirmishes with
the British that were fought across. the
farm at Valley Forge. where she was
raised. She herself saw the soldiers when
they were starving during the awful win
ter of ITS, and she remembers the smoke
of battle that blew across the very door
| yard of her home.
| Mary was not a slave, but was bound
| out until she was Is years of age to a
! wealthy farmer named Reese Howell,
whose grain and farm products We're al
| ways at the disposal Of General Wash
| ingtons troops. She remembers that dur
| ing the war she Wore a plain calico dress
| and sunbonnet. She never owned SILK
dress. She was brought UP on the plain
| est kind of food accompanied by plenty
| of exercise, and to. this she attributes her
long life and present sfreedom from pain.
| Mrs. Macdonald is one of those who
enjoy the fragrant weed, She says that
she has smoked tobacco as long as she
can remember. Much of her spending
money goes to keep her pipe filled. Con-
corning this point she said: Il learned
| smoking from my mistress. She was a
white lady. Many of the danes smoked
during the war and nothing was thought
of it,
| Mary remained with her master and
mistress until she was IS. She then mar
ried, and was blessed with a family OF
eight children. All OF Her sons and daugh-
ters, as we'll as her husband, have long
since died, and Mary Is now the only one
left She seems to enjoy life in spite OF
her extreme old age. She has everything
necessary for comfort in her declining
days, and she employs her spare time
sowing carpet balls. Since 1890 she has
sewed 1873 pounds of carpet rags, and she
keeps at her work every day.

suggest to you for the consideration Of

a concrete foundation, the same as tbs
streets already paved

Park street from the west side of Acad-
envy street to the east side of Montana
street; Academy street from the north
side of Park street to the south side of
Broadway; Broadway from the west
side of Academy street to the east side
of Montana street. and Granite straet
from the west side of Hamilton street
| to the east side of Montana street, with
granite blocks on concrete founda-
ition, payments for the construction of
the work to be made in accordance
with the law providing for special i'm
provement districts. which would give
property owners three years time to
I pay the amounts of their assessments
at simple interest of six per cent. per
annum.
Il am of the opinion that the districts
herein outlined would not be objected
by the owners of real property on the
proposed terms, and would be as much
paving as can be satisfactorily laid
during one season, such as we can
safely rely on in this city.
Il regret my inability to be present
at the committee meeting, and as ]
cannot attend the meeting of the city
council this evening, I take this means
of defining my views to you on this
matter. Yours very respectfully,
