Large Attendance of Ladies.

Washington was never gloriouSly
launched into the cycle racing season as
this year. Over 5000 people were present
to witness the opening races at the Coliseum
and this Is an Indication of the big crowds
that are sure to attend the other races each
week of the season. A noticeable feature
OF the large throng that filled every seat
available was the large proportion of ladies'
More than one-half the vast audience was
Of the fair sex. Their handsome gowns
bright-colored hats and smiling faces added
to the effect of such q gathering. Muir
murs of approval from all over the great
stands in which the ladies sat could be
heard, and the management was highly
commended for its splendid arrangement
Tor seating. There was such an unexpected
rush of ladies that the mana cement was
unprepared for them and several Were
forced to take seats in the bleachc-
section But new and additional seats on
the reserved side of the big plant will be
provided for the ladies by the next meet
The management has found it necessary
to add to the bleacher section, which was
so crowded at the last meet that the over
now was let into the arena. One hundred
more feet of bleacher seats will be provided
along the same side of the track with the
others
me lighting arrangement of the big am
phltheater is splendid and leaves nothing
TO be desired. The system is a perfect one
and in spite of the fact that two of the
lamps at the last meet went out the light
ms VI tHe track wasn't impaired in the
least. The large audience enjoyed the I'M
usual condition of converting night into
day and commented upon the manage
ments cleyerness. For such large gath
efing as assembled at the big plant We'd
nesday night it was a most orderly one.
There was no trouble whatever committed
and there was hardly any occasion for the
efficient Captain Cross. Lieutenant DAILY
Sergeant Falvey and his fifteen uniformed
policemen, to say nothing of the several
plain clothes men who worked through the
different parts of the seating structure
The system of refusing to give pass-out
checks was responsible for the splendid
order. Manager Osgood is certainly to be
congratulated on having pulled off, not
only the greatest cycle race meet in the
history of the sport in Washington but
he also handled the very largest gathering
that ever saw cycle race in this city in
a manner that commands appreciation.

American League Teams Standing.
National League Teams Standing.

The St. Louis Browns continued their
good playing yesterday afternoon against
the Senators, and by fine rally at the bat
in the ninth inning won out by the score
of to 5. Many of the Washington enthusi-
asts ascribe the defeat of the Senators to a
frown from the Goddess of Luck but it is
a popularity of this much abused lady that
she generally reserves her miles for those
who put forth their best endeavor to please
her.
Pitcher Harper had been unusually sue
cessful against Patten with his bat and in
the ninth inning secured his third safe
single. the ball rolling along the thrd-base
line. This started all the trouble for the
Senators. as Patten gathered in the ball and
sent it mile over the first baseman's head
but one of the spectators got the ball. re-

on second. There was a big kick by the
Browns over the interference. but Umpire
Sheridan insisted there was no rule to cover
the play. The bad throw unsettled Patten

Quaint scottish Ceremony.

Many quaint ceremonies and GUS
toms formerly observed at corona
tions have been gradually abolished,
some by reason of their uselessness,
others on account of inherent incon-
venience. 1t was the latter which
probably brought about the abolition
of custom rigidly observed, accord
ing to tradition, at the coronation of
the kings of Scotland. Every man
who assisted at that ceremony was
obliged to bring certain amount of
earth in his boots, as it was COM
pulsory for everyone who wished to
see the king crowned to stand on his
own land. Though the earth would
tend to give greater stature and a
sense of dignity, the discomfort DUR
ing our lengthy coronation ceremony
would render the custom unpopular.
The spot where the kings were
usually crowned was vulgarly named
"Boot-hill," a rather appropriate
term.-N. Y. Times.

NO BIRDS ON HATS.
Millinery Stores Not Handling Plumage
Trimmings Now.

Display windows in millinery stores
this spring are conspicuous by the al
most total absence of bird plumage.
Instead there is a brilliant flower
show, with maze of delicate laces.
Whether this change is due to the in
fuence of the Audubon society or to
the decree of fashion, milliners are not
wholly agreed, but some give both a
share of the credit. s'There undoubt-
eddy is growing up strong sentiment
against the use of plumage on hats, y
said one well known milliner. "All
the complaints we get are not from
the Audubon people, but shoppers
generally discuss the question. and a
bird hat is not always the object of
envy and admiration it once was.''
tYou will not find stuffed song bird
in any first-class millinery store, "
said prominent man milliner OF
Chicago. moreover, no reputable
milliner sells stuffed birds of any
kind, or breasts or wings of birds
that have been killed for their plu-
mage. 1t is the cheap stores only
that use the killed birds. Seven
years ago big millinery stores made
it rule not to handle any stuffed
birds or plumage from birds that had
been killed for that purpose, and to-
day you will not find them in any
irst-class millinery store. This is
not season for that sort of trim
mings and only the higher priced
stores can handle this made plumage,
for it is much more expensive and
much costlier than stuffed BIRDS
