PORTSMOUTH WON
Another Well-Played Game from New.
port News

Those who journeyed to League Park
yesterday afternoon enjoyed an excel
lent game of baseball, and their enjoy
lnent was Increased by the fact that
portsmouth won again. 1t Is seldom
that one has the good fortune to see
three double plays made by Il team
in one game, but that was one Of the
treats Manager Clark gave the faithful
rooterS yesterday, and another being
the clean, sharp all-around playing of
the Portsmouth team, as Will appear
from the fact that they accepted with
out cmblance of an error the Al field
Ing chances given them. In this, Clark,
Longley. Kemmer and Bammert espe-
clally distinguished themselves. Long
ley accepted four flies. one being espe-
cially nota'ole, as it clearly robbed Con-
roy of pretty hit. 1t is Il peculiar
fact that neither Kohnle or Murray had
fielding chance, but by quick work
held runners on first after what might
have been doubles with less sharp field
ing.
Luhich pitched a clever game. and
iielded hins position beautifully. He
also batted well, getting Il double and
single i'll three times at the bat.
Newport News also put up Il rafting
game in the field. Il. Weaver in centre
field especially distinguishing himself,
and his catch of Luskey's hit in the
ninth being clear case of robbery"
Iotshloutn began scoring IN the HrSt
inning. Kohnle leading off with u sin
gle. and Clark following with another.
advancing Kohnle to third. from which
he scored on an error of Bigbie. The
second and third innings were not pro-
ductvc OF runs, but in the fourth BAN
inert scored on Il hit, another hit by
Luitlch and an error of Conroy. They
opened up again in the fifth, scoring
two runs on doubles by LonSley and
I<emmer and u single by Myers. They
scored again in the eighth on base OH
balls to Luskey, Luitichs sacrifice. an
out and Clark's third hit
Newport News failed to score until
the eighth inning. getting only five hits
up TO that time, no two in the same In
ming. In the eighth, after Stanley had
flied out. Hoffman singled and stole
second. going TO third on Luskeys wild
throw. but in attempting to score on
o Rrien's hit to Clark he was caught
at the plate. O'Brien went 10 third UI1
q. Weaver's hit. and scored on Rapp's
single. In the ninth X. Weaver sin
Slcd, stole second and scored on Big
bic's hit.
AS said before, 1t was a clean, sharp
exhibition of baseball, and such games
as Portsmouth is now putting up are
deserving of the best patronage.

STREET COMMITTEE RECOA1AlEN
OPTIONS.

At the next meeting of the city coun-
ell the street committee will recommend
that the Norfolk Portsmouth and New
port News Railway Company b. grant
ed the right to lay u single line OF
track from Water to Chestnut street,
on the south side of High street This
was decided upon at Il meeting of the
street committee last night, at which
Chairman G. W. Walker. and Me.ssrs
5. j. Montague. w. Jones Williams, j.
Davis Read and j. Leon CoGd were
present.
The committee voted unanimously to
grant the privileges asked for. under
the terms of the company's present
contract, with the exception of Mr.
Reed. who held that the granting of the
franchise would be a violation of the
city contract with the Portsmouth
Street Railway Company guaranteeing
not to parallel that company's tracks
with the tracks of any other road Mr..
Reed said he had no objection to grant
ing the rights asked for If the Pig Point
extension of the Norfolk, Portsmouth
and Newport News Railway was built
for in that case he would regard the
road more of n suburban line than an
active competitor. as ii now is, of the
Portsmouth Street Railway for city
traffic. In the vote Mr. Reed was re-
corded as voting mo" upon the appli-
cation. The application was granted
on the understanding that the con-
struction of the road begin twelve
months from date and be completed to
Pig Point in two years. The Ports
mouth Street Railway did not appear
before the committee to offer any OPP
position to its competitors petition.
An application OF Mr.. O. L. Williams.
representing the Portsmouth Street
Ra lway Company. asking TO be allowed
to extend that companys tracks in the
fifth ward. was passed by for future
consideration by the committee
The committee recomm fnded adverse
" upon the claim of DR.. X. Il. Robert
son Tor 500 danascs by TtfS0n u an
accident he met with on the streets OF
the fifth ward.
The request OF Mr. Richard A. Do
bic. president: of the Seabcard Wharf
Company, asking a renewal Of the lease
of the eastern ends of Wythc and Ran
dolph streets. was referred to the city
attorney for consideration.
The suggestion Of the board OF health.
that n street sweeper be purchased. was
referred to the finance committee. The
repair of the pavement in the buck
ster's market. the committee will
recommend. should be referred to the
street inspector for immediate action.

LAKE DRUMMOND.
(William Wiley Burden.)


One breezy morn as in n halcion dream,
Up meandcring stream wo once did
roam
To the slumberlng lake in the Dismal
Swamp
Where the fire-nies all night swarm.
II.
To tho misty lake of tales and legends
In the midst of woodlands wild,
Where ramlbles the shc-wolf and con-
per-snake,
And the panther hoOv1s like q child.
TO the dreary lake. historic
The "Drummond Pond" of yore
Where mad lovers roam in their raw
ings-
The lake made immortal by Moore
w.
To the Ghostly lake ia the forests bosom
With dark. still waters outspread.
With tufted shores of dead juniper
Stubbles,
And bare trees standing lone and dread
To the lake. the gloomy damp lake
Where scars the monday fowl
Where the ghouls paddle their white
canoes.
And where boots the midnight owl.
VI.
AS IN the .wirling stream we sped
Past green banks. hamlets and rills.
Soft zephyrs Heated DER our heads
Sweet music from over the hills.
VII.
Hark. Out Of the east from over a rill
Floating Ger the waters on the night
air still
Comes the full familiar whistle Of the
whippoorwill;
Hearts be still. hearts he still, hearts
be still.

BELGIAN HARES In MAINE,

were rather line looking animals, their
color being about that OF the ordinary
rabbit which inhabits the WOODS, In his
summer garb The hares weigh alb out
six or seven pounds ordinarily, but when
fastened for the market their weight is
said to reach ten pounds. The flesh is
equal to that OF a chicken and it Is
claimed that the meat can be placed ON
the market at 10 cents per pound with
out loss
The animals breed rapidly and the aver
aga litter Is six or seven. Mr.. Stuart pur-
chased a pair of the animals, paying S35
for them but 1t Is Understood that their
breeding Is exceptionally good Mrs. ).

Lord Salisbury has begun the reorgan-
fzatfon OF the English cabinet, which
was pr omised before election, by trans
ferring Lord Lsnsiowne from the war
department. to the foreign office. The
change IL not one that meets the approval
of the public, If newspaper comment
correctly raflots their views. Lansdowne
had the misfortune TO incur the dislike
Of the English people on account OF the
breaking down of the army system at the
beginning Of the South African war. His
case was a goo1 deal like that of our own
Secretary Alger's. Being the head OF the
war Office when the shortcomings of the
English army systsm began to be mani
lest he became the target Of general
abuse, and upon his shoulders was load
ed the responsibility for all the things
that went wrong. OF course he became
unpopular, and the great majority of the
just as was the case with Alger. Hence
his promotion to the foreign Office Is
looked upon with great disfavor. judged
according to its merits his appointment
is probably not nearly 80 bad as the Eng :
lish journals make out, yet on the other
hand he seems not to be the kind Of man
to whom the direction of the foreign policy
OF the government to be implicitly
entrusted. He is said TO be lacking In
force and decision. Probably the expla-
nation Of his selection-for Salisbury can
not be In doubt as to his qualifications
lies In the fact that the urqxuiar hfmsaif
wishes TO direct the foreign policy of the
government as he has done for many
years past. and has selected Lansdowne
for the nominal head OF the foreign Office
because he is not the kind OF q man like
ly to have any POLICY OF his own TO OPP
pose TO Lord Salisbury's. In other
words he has been selected because he
win do as the premier directs without
Questioning. Chamberlain, OF course,
would not do that, but would insist on
being the real as well as the ostensibIe
head OF the Office. 4
