TN all Of the 1856 contests for Con-
gressional honors now holding the
i attention of the country none equal
in novelty and coincidence the con-
test attracting the people of the Second
Congressional district of Maryland. 1t
is perhaps without parallel in the his
tory of Congressional campaigns. The
Republican candidate for Congress from
the Second Maryland district. is, Hon.
William Tyler Page, of Baltimore coun-
ty. At present Mr.. Page is clerk to the
Committee on Accounts of the House Of
Representatives. His Democratic op-
ponent is ex-Representative j. F. C. Tai
bott, also. of Baltimore county, And
now comes the interesting story which
in a measure is illustrative of the po-
litical possibilities that await young
America.

eager to leatn. and ever on the alert
to respond to the call of the members.
He at. once grew in popular favor. and
by his ready wit and engaging manners

chamber. In the same House was Hon.

his second term. He little dreamed

GOSSIP OF CURRENT EVENTS IN EDlCATONAL. CIRCLES

| progressing we'll. Mr.. w. II. Foley. ad-
wiser and instructor of athletics, is very
enthusiastic over the good material in
the schools. He intends giving the boys
scientific training and will not allow
them to do anything except in SYSTEM
attic &ay He does not believe that a
growing boy should be given exercise
promiscuously, but that the training
should be gradual.
Mr.. Foley said last week that he had
observed the high school athletes for
several years. This yeag he thinks will
be a record breaker.
Favors Athletic Park.
Mr.. Foley states that he will endeavor
to have the Board of Education include
in its estimate an appropriation for a
park to be used for athletics by the high
schools. He states that the schools OF
the District are far behind those of
other cities in the matter of training.
Other cities have grounds set aside for
athletic practice by the schools. In
Washington the boys of the high schools
are sorely in need Of such place, and
have to depend upon the generosity of
the private parks of the city for places
to conduct their practice in field ath-,
letics. Even without such park how
ever the Washington high schools can
boast of strong athletic teams. Their
track teams for the past five or ten
years have taken prizes in other cities,
and have connected with some Of the
strongest college teams in the United
States.
Georgetown University.
The boys of Georgetown University
are quite elated over their victory Of
Saturday week ago ON the football
field. The eleven youths who represent
Georgetown in footballdom defeated the
Annapolis Naval Academy team by a
score of 4 to 0. 1t WAS e clean game,
won by the superior aggressive work,
forcing the "middies" behind their own
goal for two safet'es.
The day was bad for football. The
weather was threatening. and just be-
fore the kickoff in the first half a
drizzling rain began to fall. which con-
tinued throughout the entire contest.
The rain made the pigskin difficult to
handle, but in spite Of this the boys
played fairly well.
The Washingtonians appeared to han
die the ball far superior to the mid
who would tumble almost ev-
cry other pass that was made.
The playing during the game demon
strated that the Naval Cadets will have

prove of great value to his constituents
He is schooled in parliamentary law
and proceedings, and what is more. he
knows thoroughly just what Repre-
sentative is entitled to. And this is
more than can be said of many members,
particularly those who are serving their
first terms.
A Close District.
The Second Maryland district is very
close, political lines being drawn very
sharply, although since the Fifty-fourth
Congress a Republican has represented
the district. The district is debatable
ground, and the young element is
strongly in favor of MIR. Page.
Mr.. Talbot is a veteran in politics.
He was first elected to the Forty-sixth
Congress. and reelected to the Forty
seventh and Forty-eighth. and was again
a member of the Fifty-third Congress-
During his politiNl career, which en-
braces more than a quarter of CEN
tury, he has been a candidate for the
Congressional nomination of his dis
trict fourteen times, FIVE times of which
he was successful.
A Similar Nomination
Mr. Pages nomination for Congress
is almost duplicate of that of Sena-
tor Arthur Pue German. Senator Cor
man began his career as page in the
United States Senate, and years after
ward he took his seat in that body
land. And il is not improbable, that
MIR. Page, who began his career as
page in the House of representatives,
will yet take his seat as a member of
that body.

! 0SSIBLY nothing has filled the
high school boys and girls with
SO much pride and enthusiastic

SO mucn PRIDE and enthusiastic
patriotism as did the thirty y-sixth
national encampment of the Grand army
of the Republic. The patriotism which
forty wears ago filled the hearts of the
erizzled veterans who paraded down. the
Avenue Wednesday seemed to have been
imbibed by every person who was within
earshot of the drum and fife corps
which led the tramp of the marching
soldiers. Everyone's nerves tingled with
the music. All wanted to get out into
the middle of the street and fall into
line behind the gray-haired veterans.
Everyone was anxious to entertain these
visitors. Everyone wanted to show them
that they were loved and revered for the
battles they fought to save the flag,
The high school boys were given their
share in the entertainment of the city's
guests. The public comfort committee
selected the young men Of the High
School Regiment as guides. The boys
were detailed to depots. in the informa-
tion booths. on the White Lot. and
wherever they could be Of service to the
visitors.
1t was q week of hard work for all the
boys. Doubtless some of them had never
attempted such hard work before, but
not one of them grumbled. and there is
not one who would not volunteer to DO
the same thing again. The committee.
in choosing the High School Cadets for
the week, selected them because of their
natty appearance and their knowledge of
the city.
One Of the greatest disappointments TO
the cadets was the fact that they could
not turn out with the naval and military
parade on Tuesday. .1t had been planned
to have the boys parade. When the time
came, however, 1t was found that there
were not enough uniformed cadets to
make good showing, and they were
barred out.

ations for commissioned officers were
held during the past week. The result |
of the examinations will be made public |

BLUES WIN THE GAME

The polo game of New Years day
was undoubtedly the best went of the
kind that has ever been witnessed in
the Islands. 1t was played on the Ka-
piolani park grounds and the proceeds
derived therefrom will go toward
swelling the building fund Of the Myr-
tie Boat Club. There was very fash
ionable and a very large attendance at
the game, the day being just cool and
fine enough to call out many who, I'M
der ordinary circumstances would have
remained at home. The game was
played in four periods and under Am
erican rules. S. f. Damon was referee.
The teams were as follows:
Reds--W. +. Dillingham; (captatn),
r, W. Atkinson, A. Perry and A. F.
Judd.
Blues--C. S. Dole Captain, c. w.
Dlckey, Lieutenant Hancock and G. II,
Angus.
The game started at o'clock. There
was an accident in the second period,
Atkinsons horse fell. rolled over on
its knee, cSusing in injury. There was
no need of change-as the injury was
not serious enuogh.
The Blues seemed to have a little
the best Of it throughout the game. The
game was a very holly contested one
the Blues winning by score Of 81 to
Az. Perhaps the best playing of the
day was done by George II. Angus of
the Blues.
