tWenty-three 3D-pounder Parrot rifles are

being to make them serve in this Way as
monuments to the dead heroes of cur wars
Many towns, too poor to erect monu-
ments, have in this way obtained fitting
memorials.
The shot park is sharing the fate of its
nelghbor. Very few of the old shot and
shell now remain in the park. They too,
have been sent to Pittsburg to share the
fate of the guns. Like the guns few
nave been set up in distant cities.

CANNON IN THE MELTING POT.
Old Guns in the Charlestown NAVY
Yard Being Turned Into Iron.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
Only few of the old cannon which have
been accommodating in the gun park at the
Charlestown navy yard for many years
past now remain there. For some time
teamsters have been carting them off to the
Fftchburg railroad for shipment to Pitts
burg, Pa. Some of these old cannon were
cast at the Fort Pitt foundry near Pitts
burg, to which they are now being sent. 1t
seems remarkable coincidence that many
of them should be broken up and recast
into other forms at the same place from
which they were sent out new over quar-
ter of century previous, and that many
have never Eeen in service. Some have lain
undisturbed beneath the old trees on the
park for years-and some even have spent
their life there.
The old guns have been placed in the
park as fast as they were turned over by
the ships, and these, with some brought
directly from the foundries. have formed
the unique collection which for many
years has been a feature of the navy yard
The oldest of the guns was cast at n
foundry in Richmond, Va, in 1855. The
others were from widely separated points,
and were cast in the years from 1879 to
lS4. The 9-inch guns came from the foun-
dries at Fort Pitt. Pittsburg, Pa: West

dry, Providence; Fort Pitt foundry, Pitts
burg. and Silas Alger & Co. South Boston.
r. P. PARROT made the 1O0-pounder Par
rotts
While some of the old pieces were never
mounted on board ship. many were, and did
good service. Many, doubt, could tell
much of historical interest il only they
could speak. The four 15-inch were taken
from the old monitor Miantonomoh.
These immense cannon were cast in 1S64-5,
three at Fort Pitt, and one at South Bos-
ton. They Were taken from the Miantono-
mon and brought to the gun park in ISL
The Tacony, Kennebec, Franklin, Fear

also steeplechase and hurdle races, the
conditions of which will be similar to those
which have heretofore closed in February.
1t is believed by the officials of the club
that the conditions of the two handicaps,
as well as those governing the overnight
events, are such as will insure large fields
of excellent material, and that the coming
| meeting will be the most successful one
ever given by the club in the spring.

DEFEATED EAGLES THREE GAMES.
Success of the South Washington

BOwlers.
The South Washington Business Men s
bowling team, which has until recently
seemed safely anchored in last position in
winning streak. and it is now well started
upon the upward journey. Last night. in
competition with the Golden Eagle team
the South Washington lads very materially
aided their standing by defeating the Ea-
giles in three straight games This result
was not strikingly difficult achievement
in view of the low scores made by the de-
feated team. The match was played at the
Business Mems Club, and it may be that in
the long journey to those alleys the Golden
Eagles fell victims to the bitter weather
prevailing outside and becametoo thorough
ly frozen to put up good article of
bowling. At any rate. they were pretty
well warmed up by the home team before
the match was over. They showed some
of the effect of this in the final game, in
which the Business Men had to make an
effort to win. The other games We're easy.
None of the players on either side distin-
guished themselves on account of any
bright work. Smithson did best, and
bowled a good average, his 1I3 in the open
ing game leading both teams for the match
The visiting team got pretty well balled
up in the first game and came near not
making any pins at all. Their score is one
of the record breakers from the standpoint
of low games. The home team won by
about $50 pins. The visitors We're behind at
every stage. The score follows:

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February 1.-After
star-chamber conference lasting over an
| hour, with Philadelphians whose names are
| withheld, A. c. Arson of Chicago and John
| McGraw of Baltimore this afternoon an
rounced that they have secured the re-
quired support for a club to represent the
New American Association in this city.
This was a relief to the promoters who
have been in session here nearly three
days. Two syndicates thought to be sure
things had withdrawn and there was
lively scurrying about to obtain the neces
sary backing. With PHILADELPHIA out. The
new organization would be seriously handf-
capped, and the promoters knew it. so they
gave this city every opportunity to bring
forward its capital.
Arson and McGraw held a private con-
ference with the local hackers this morn
ing, and at its conclusion announced their
success to the expectant representatives
from other cities. Unless there is another
withdrawal the circuit Is practically COM
pleted.
Inc contest between New York and Prov
1dence ended this morning in a victory for
the latter city. Louisville Is still making
strenuous efforts to get in, but there is
little probability of success for the Ken
tuckians. That the Louisville applicants
have the backing is not doubted but their
admission would make an awkward circuit
and the support of the other western cities
Is as strong as that Of Louisville The cir
cult now stands: Boston, Providence, Phil
adelpha and Baltimore in the east and
Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago and st. Louis
in the west.

TO IT
The second game was not a brilliant
game, but the scores were close enough to
make 1T a good game from the spectators
standpoint. The totals ran very close, and
the Eagles had good chance to win out.
In the closing innings the Business Men
did excellent work and bowled enough pins
to effect winning with a safe margin. The
Ocore follows:

estate and buy new crop contract will have
another chance"
This is the way II was put to The Post
correspondent by one man, but perhaps It is
well not to calculate entirely upon the best
possible. There is still a considerable field
used for growing the staple in the South and
elsewhere and an equally large one for dis
appointment on the New York exchange.

LOCAL COTTON REVIEW.
oface Of ND Post.

ttouSou, May u.
The maximum difference between the old
and new crop months in the cotton market
was reached today when May closed at o &c
and December at 7,e4-s5. difference of re
points, or $3.50 per bale.
Prices we're OF all around, but. as has
been tho case for some time past, tho spot
positions stood the hammeriug better than
any of the other months, May closing only
points down and June 2 points down. as
compared with points loss on August and
practically all Of the new crop positions
The decline was scored In the face Of an
unusually light movement to which, apparent
ly, absolutely no attention was paid Better
crop and weather news probably exertcd a
considerable amount Of influence and tho con
dition OF the European markets also had some
thing TO do with the matter. Liverpool spots,
after their activity Of the past few days.
were weak today and at prices lid lower
than the old scale only 5000 bales we're sold.
Futures also showed some weakness and NJ
the close were y to 1la-6id lower.
AZ the opening on this side the figures In
New York were about TO lower than yes
terday and to lower in New Orleans. The
session was almost as duh as It waa short
and was without any distinguishing features.
tho close being practically the same as the
opening or TO down In New York and 2
TO down In New Orleans
spots ia the American markets did moth
ing worthy of note, Business was quite
small at all points and sle only change
made was at New Orleans, where prices
were revised by the subtraction of Ac from
the lower grades and 1-l6c from the better
qualities.
The movement, as has already been stated
was quito light, especially so far as tho re-
oeipts at some OF the principal interior points
were concerned. The receipts at Houston
were only 10 bales. against 697 last year aud
900 three years ago. For Monday the estimate
lor houston Is 200 to 500 bales as compared
with iUS and $40, and for New Orleans $500
to 5000, against 32s6 and 2iOl. 1t seems pos
sloe that tho influence which might other
wise have been welded by the unusually
light ngures of today were completely Offset
| by tho slight Increase in the estimates. Re
| ceiptS at the thirty ono counted town for
the week were 1O,Gi7 against S2.34s last yoor
ana lob14 IN 1897, Stocks Mt these towns de-
creased 1900 bales during the week.
