GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Sergeant's victory in the Pansy
Stakes on Thursday was somewhat odd.
The colt. which is the property of f. r.
Hitchcock, and passed the winter at
Benning, is son of Pansy Blossom.
Three years ago Sergeants full broth
er, The Bobby, won the Pansy Stakes.
1t looks therefore as If the Pansy Bios
som offspring have a pretty good mort
gage on the Pansy Stakes.
Lucky Baldwin has instructed his
trainer, w. J. Spiers, to secure the best
Jockey he can to replace Ransom, who
was recently dismissed by the stable.
Baldwin expects to come East later on
in the season and will have string
at Saratoga. Baldwin is anxious to
make a good record on the turf this
season. as II will probably be his last.
Secretary John Boden, of the Brigh-
ton Beach Racing Association. states
that Millionaire Drake, the owner of
Wyeth, did not reply to his telegram
making the offer to add q rich purse
to a renewal of the American Derby
race. The Chicago turfman who poses
as so great a sportsman did not even
have the courtesy to reply to the pro-
possl. Can it be that the Western
man is afraid TO have his colt meet
the Eastern horses again?

Our Firemen at Portsmouth.

The Independent Fire Company and
Charles Town Cornet Band, whose de
parture for the meeting of the Virginia
State Firemen's Association at Ports
mouth we noticed in our last issue, reach
ed Washington about noon on Monday.
were received by delegation OF the
Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Associa-
ton. and attracted much attention as
they marched up Pennsylvania avenue.
At Tenth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue the organization halted and the
band played The Washington Times
March as one of the selections which
had been especially picked out by Capt
julius c. Holmes. the commanding Off
Ger OF the organization. After leaving
the Times Office the command proceeded
west along Pennsylvania Avenue. thence
north to Street, and went to Fifteenth
to their quarters at the Columbia House
The afternoon was spent pleasantly in
Washington, and at night the trip was
made by boat to Portsmouth.
In this good Virginia city our fremen
and band were the especial guests of the
Independent Company there, and were
given good time generally. A salute
of 81 guns was fired in their honor on
arrival. They were received by the
Mayor of Portsmouth, to whose speech
Capt Holmes made fitting response.
In the big parade on Thursday the In
dependent had the largest uniformed
company in line, and expect to receive
the prize in this class.
The band and fire company returned
home Saturday morning. and were well
coined by the sounding of the fire bells.
After marching down town they were
drawn up in line in front of the Rouss
Memorial Hall Building of the Indepen-
dent Fire Company. where Lieutenant
Dooley Tin the absence of Capt. Holmes,
who was detained in Washington ad-
dressed the members of the organization
and thanked them for their creditable
bearing whilst abroad from home.
Three cheers were then given by the
firemen for Lieutenant Dooley, Captain
Holmes and the Charles Town Concert
Band, after which the baud played sew
eral airs and the last act OF the firemen's
big trip of 1902 was over.
The Portsmouth Star. in its fine memo
rial edition of Thursday gave special
prominence to sketch of the Indepen-
dent Fire Company of this place. accom-
panying the same with picture of the
interchangeable Capt. Julius C. Holmes and

Company's Rouss Memorial Hall Bull

The Confederate MemorialAssoclatlon
corporation organized for the purpose
OF raising funds to erect what has been
styled Confederate Battle Abbey, is be-
ing sued in the Supreme Court in Brook
lyn for the sum of SI777o.Io commis-
sions alleged to be due ] H. Shaughnes-
sy, resident of Brooklyn, under an as
segment of the claim from John c. Under
wood, the superintendent and secretary
OF the association. The plaintiff alleges
breach of contract on the part of the de-
PENDANT with Secretary Underwood, and
the main contension is over the commits
sions alleged to be due on subscriptions
to the association by the late Charles
Broadway Rouss amounting TO $1,000 600.
That it should be assumed that Mr..
Rouss, who, of his own volition proposed
to and did contribute muni6cently to this
noble cause, and in fact was the orgina-
tor of it, had to be impoituned to give
thereto, is something little less than mon
strous, and IS enough to cause his dead
body to turn over in the grave. For
shame! that there should be such greedy
contention alb out SO sacred a matter.

In respect to that part of the Conven-
tons action which. without precedent,
generously authorized me to name the
ampaign Committee. ! beg to advise
you that decline to exercise this privi-
lege because my party associates. in the
several counties in the District, have been
so unitormally kind and generous to me
throughout many years of political asso-
citation and personal contact with them,
that will not assume to decide questions
of personal fitness IN such counties, as
there may be friendly rlyelry among
party friends for the place. As the
| Convention, however, made no other
pr DIVISION for the selection of the Com
mittee and as l decline, for the above
reasons to name this Committee, have
taken the liberty of asking Col. Thomas
B. Davis of Mineral. Hon. w. B. Corn

Preston gentlemen of the highest personal
integrity and Democrats of unquestloned
party loyalty-to select this Committee
and to report their action to you. have
no doubt these gentlemen will make such
selections, for the several counties, as
will not only be satisfactory to the party
in the District, but such as will bring to
1t faithful and efficient organization.
l will feel under renewed obligation if,
when this Committee will have been
named, may ask you to notify the gen.
tlemen selected and ask them to arrange
an early meeting for the purpose of organi-
zation. Very truly yours.
