 Speedy sprinters.
 2 Willie Fenn. the boy wonder .estab- ished a new record for five miles in an open race yesterday at the yaiIs- urg cycle track. He won the contest from Floyd Mcfarland by a length and half, and also captured the spec ial prize offered for the leader at the first mile. The Bristol blacksmith now holds both records for five mile handicap from scratch in 10:15, at Vailsburg, on August 25, 1091.
 'Plugger Bilr' Martin was the vic- tim of a painful accident just before the five mile contest was finished He had won the four mile prize. but had to ride himself 'al1 out'' in order to do so. When he was in front of the bleachers, in the last lap, he tunsbled off his bicycle on his head
 He and the Australian, Frank s. Beauchamp, start for San Francisco to-morrow or Wednesday, en route to Australia. Floyd Krebs captured the second mile prize by a we'll timed jump. John Bedell won the third mile prize after a great fight through the stretch with Kimb1e and McFar- land. The Californian was second and Kimble third. The Butler brothers, Tom and Nat won five lap prizes be- tween them. Nat Butler went to the front after the lap ridden to get a flying start and he stayed there for half mile. Tom Butler captured the three lap prizes in the fifth mile He tried his best to win the race, but was Oyertaken by Fenn on the last turn.
 Bardgett took the half mile handi- cap from Fisher, Stevens and Krebs. Bardgett had the limit of 50 yards and made such good use of it that he had five yards to spare as he crossed the tape. Martin tried to pull the oth- CTS up to the Buffalo man, but drop ped out on the backstretch. When Martin slowed down Fisher took the lead, but could not catch Bardgett. Stevens went into third position frow away in the rear
 Thirty-three riders started in the "unlimited distance race.'' No one knew how far the men would ride until after they had started, when Referee Norton drew an envelope from a hat. He did not announce the dis fance that had been drawn, but, when the riders started on the last lap of the fourth mile, he fired a pistol to signify that it was four miles,
 Beyerman was in the lead at the time, followed by Lindley Glasson was fourth in the line and Hurley was fifth. Lindley, Glasson and Hur- ley began sprinting about the start of the backstretch. Hurley, as usual, proved to be the fastest. and defeated Glasson by half a length. Lindley was third. Guile, with 80 yards handicap, won the the mile amateur handicap from Hudley by a wheel.

BANKRUPTCY IN LIVERY.
Curious Laws That Were Enforced Centuries Ago in England and
 Scotland 5

At one time in England and Scotland bankrupts were compelled to wear a distinctive dress. This was a result of enactments passed at various times in Scotland from the year 1906 to 16SS, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The Edinburgh court of sessions spec1- fed the dress to be of parti-color, one- half yellow and the other brown, some thing after the style of the dress now worn in English prisons by the worst class of prisoners, those who have att tempted to escape or been guilty of murderous assaults on officers. The en- actment also provided that the bank rupt should be exhibited publicly in the market place of his town for a period of two hours, and then sent away, condemned toswear the dress until such time as he had paid his debts or some one else had done.i for him.
 Although this was period of laws which can only @be described as fero- cious, this 1ayvwasssach ansodtrage on public sentiment that in 16s8it was so far repealed that the wearing of the dress was only compulsory in cases in which fraud had been proved, or, cu- rious1y enough, if the bankrupt had been convicted of smuggling. The same practice was legal, but not gen. orally in force in England down to the year 1886. The idea was, of course, to warn persons who might have given credit that the bankrupt was not able to pay, but popular sentiment soon recognized that 1t was wholly unfair to impose such excessive penalties on a man who might have become bank rupt through no fault of his own, and, as usual, when the law became con- trary to public feeling, it ceased to be operative.

Cuba Not All Explored.

After more than 400 years it appears that Cuba has not yet been entirely discovered. Much of it and many of it's treasures are yet unknown, assording to the recent report made by Gov. Gen. Wood. He says that after the cen turies of Spanish occupancy there are large portions of the island that have never even been prospected and prac- tical1y remain undiscovered so far as knowledge of what they contain gees. -Geographical Magazine.

The Japanese physiognomy is com monly thought expression1ess by western nations. The reason is that it is always seen in repose. This is a part of Japanese education. It is, with them, a mark of the underbred to permit the face to express any feeling in public

At Long Hill.

Long Hill. September 1o-The game played here yesterday morning was a peculiar one according to all reports. The Brass Gitys and the Pirates were opposed to each other. Such a bom- bardment of a pitcher they say has has never been seen on any grounds as was accorded to the. tWiflersfor the Pi- rates. The scorers figured up twenty eight hits in the first inning and sixty Ill,s in tde game. This is a record and a worlds record at that if the report is correct. Rumor does not say how long it took to play the game but in all probability it was long enough to suit almost anybody. The score sent in is as follows:

Fish Flour in Norway.

The fisheries represent one of Nor- ways chief industries, and quantities of fish are sold at very low rates. particularly during summer. One way in which these are utilized is by means of an invention which quickly dries and pulverizes the flesh of fresh fish. The resulting product, called fish -four, is easy to transport from one place to another and has great pptritive value.-N. \, Sun.

 The rain of Saturday afternoon in terfered with the playing of two games on the Athletic field and but eight in- nings of the first game were played. The contesting teams were Jeffersons and the Washington Hills. The latter team was handicapped by the absence of several of their players and there were many errors made accordingly The Jeffersons were out to win how ever and win they did. .McGinnis, who proved SO effective a week ago, was found yesterday by the Jefferson batters and aided by the errors behind him McGlnnis was forced to lose.

Cleveland, Sept 15.-Neyer before did player get such reception as was given to Hickman in Saturdays game here with St Louis. Tn the tenth inning, when the score was to 1, Hickman drove the ball over the fence, winning the game. It was a beautiful drive and it set the thous- ands of persons in the stand wild with excitement. Hickman trotted around the bases to the accompaniment of thunderous yelling and applause and when he reached the home plate the crowd. deserted the stand and made for him. They picked him 11p and carried him on their shoulders around the field and then into the street, where they paraded with him in mid air..

NTH THE AMATEURS.
Brooklyn Athletic Club Has a
 Strong Hold On Pennant.

The Brooklyn Boys Will Have to Lose
 Two Games to Be Tied-The Defeat
 of Washington Hill Saturday Puts
 That Team Out of the Race-The
 Pastimes Have Still Chance to Win
 the Pennant - Results of Games
 Among the Amateurs.
 The race in the City Amateur league is drawing to a close but the winner has not yet been named. At the pres ent time the Brooklyn Athletic club holds the pole and is making a bid that will surely land the Brooklyn boys winners unless they fall down com pletely in the next two games. Their closest rival in the Pastlme Athletic club and a game between those two clubs would now be interesting. It Is too bad that the league loses next Sat urday as a field day for the grounds will be taken up with the horse show. It is possible that the last field day will be held Saturday, September 721, and on that occasion the Brooklyns and the Pastimes will be brought to- gether for the final game. There are a number of postponed games to be played off and should the Brooklyns lose their two games the Pastimes would be in poslllon to claim the pennant The rain of Saturday inter- ferred with another game and it may may be possible to play off some of the games next Sunday. However, the big game between the Brooklyns and Pas- times will be saved for Saturday, field day.

SUNDAY BALL GAMES.
At Riverside Park.

Riverside Park, September 15.-The Brooklyn Athletic club and the St Thomas Cadets met on the ball field yesterday afternoon and each team put up a masterly contest until the eighth inning when the St Thomas pitcher ascended skyward and the Brooldyns pounded out thirteen runs. The score up to that inning was a tie and every one expected to see the St Thomas Ca- dets do the trick to the BrooKlyns that they did to the Pasties. The Brooklyns were out to win however and win they did with lots to spare. The score:

Charged With Stealing Tripe.

Three improvident white individuals,
who spend most of their time in Jail,
were before the Mayor again this morn
ing charged with stealing pan of tripe
from colored man who keeps cook
shop on Fayette street, opposite the
Washington-Southern Railway depot.
Itappears that the trio entered the place
yesterday and purchased sandwiches.
While eating the same one of the party
was seen to pick up the pan containing
the tripe and secrete it. The proprietor
demanded its return, and the three plead
innocence of the theft, but while the
colored mans back was turned the
tripe was replaced on the counter. One
of the party was sent to the chain gang
for twenty days and the other two fined
So each. Neither had the necessary
werewithal and they, too, will be put

Man Held Up.

A few nights ago man who happen.
ed to be on Fayette street was accostec
by two individuals who ordered him to
hold up his hands. Instead Of obeying
their command the man drew pistol
and the would-be footpads ran oil. The
police were notified Of the occurrence and
descriptions of the two men were given.
There are several individuals in Alexan-
dria of shady regulations who answer
the descriptions somewhat, but in the
absence of direct testimony no arrests
could be made. Recently several stores
have been entered by thieves and many
shopkeepers have become apprehensiye.
For a long time number of IMPROVE
dent individuals with no visable means
of support have infested Alexandria.
Occasionally they get into the tolls of
the law, but their offenses are generally
in the nature of misdemeanors and so
far nothing serious has been proven
against them. They, however, come
under the provisions of the vagrant act
and should be made to go to work or to

O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when her
carriage collided with Washington
Traction Company car at LIE Roy place

Mrs. Cannon was severely bruised, but
her injuries are not alarming. The car
riage was overturned and completely
