Yesterdays Field Maneuvers.
Yesterday was a gala day in camp at
tractive for hundreds of visitors and par
ticularly strenuous for the troops. The
entire morning was devoted to field ma
ing forth at 7;3O O'Clock and not returning
until after IL O'Clock The instruction was
of Importance. and the outing was really
enjoyed by the officers and men OF the
brigade. After a brief rest preparations
were begun for the reception Of Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles. who visited camp,
accompanied by his aids. Col Maus and
Col. Slbley. The head of the army was
accorded fitting reception. as detailed
yesterday in The Star. Gen. Miles and
the members of his party took supper in
camp and were then escorted by Gen. Har-
ries and his STAFF to Leesburg. The dis
tinguished visitor departed for Washington
about $50 oclock last evening. After the
band concert in front of headquarters the
regimental and battalion commanders as
sembled at Gen. Harries' tent and listened
to the reading of the reports Of the UNI
pires who served in connection with the
field maneuvers Monday. The maneuvers
were later discussed and commented upon
by the officers of the regular army who
are on duty in camp
The understanding continues that the en-
tire brigade will take the field tomorrow
morning for exercises to continue for two
days The idea. as heretofore intirnated. IS
for the brigade to act against ina gnary
enemy. incidentally the National Guard
of the District of Columbia has never prior
to this time engaged in a movement in the
field against a supposed enemy, acting un-
der the direction of the brigade COM
mander.
Plan to Condense Time.
The two days to be devoted to the ma
neuvers will be assumed to represent two
weeks. and each day will be divided into
seven parts. each part being intended to
represent a day. In other words, the
work fs to be condensed Where. in the
case of actual warfare. one day would be
devoted to digging intrenchments about
three hours will be aisotted for that phase
of the imaginary strife.

A leading physician. of an eastern city,

theories in this connection Is Of more than
passing interest as 1t concerns a matter
over which the individual has control-per-

summer the average individual does not
perspire sufficiently, and on this account
often faces the winter with a system ac-

summer had been excessively warm.

sounded and both horses moved down

starter was waiting to send them on

Silence prevailed in the grandstand

start, and both horses moved off like

five furlongs. He looked like a sure
winner when the pair swung into the
homestretch for a finish. The race to

with Leo Noster. At the distance

on Kingfull and he did not respond
Leo Noster was too much for him and
he won the race by - full length
There was great cheering from the
crowd when Top Jones" galloped to

the Chicago boy for the mount. The
time made was lie.
Seven FurIOng Dash
The seven furlong dash furnished a
big surprise to the knowing ones 1t
was thought by many either Doctor
Carrick or Crosby stood the best chance
for first place. Five candidates faced
the starter. Doctor Carrick, Pomplona,
Mollie Brooks. Intent and Crosby
Pomplona, the Charleston entry, won
the event in fine style, with Intent sec
ond and Doctor Carrick third. Pomp-
Iona, by his victory in this contest
proves that he is a race horse of su-

race was called, and five horses ap-

scramble. Kingfull led the party until
within fifty yards of the wire. Then
his rider seeing that he was beaten,
caught the reins of Floyd Dixie and
tried to keep the horse from winning
from Kingfull. The horses finished all
punched together. Kingfull was dis
qualified for foul riding by his jockey,

NEW YEARS WITH THE FLYERS
Leo Nosta won Match Race From kine Full. and
Summer Fern Captured Harness Event.

An enthusiastic crowd of about 500
spectators witnessed A. P. Doyle's card
of racing at the Fair Grounds yesterday
afternoon. The track was in superb
condition, and the weather was all
that could be desired for racing. All
of the events We're fast and exciting
and some of the finishes were so close
that it was hard even for the officials
in the stand to pick the money win
ners.
The harness race was greatly en-
joyed by the crowd. Four candidates
scored down for the word and they
were a speedy bunch. The first to
appear was Summer Fern, with George
Palmer up. Then came Prince Derby
with George Haight behind him-Rob-
ert West, with his owner Charles
O'Dell. holding the ribbons and Roy
al Light, with H. Kuck driving him.
The heats, half a mile, and the drivers
sent the horses at a flying clip the en-
tire distance.
The first heat, the party got away
well together, when A. P. Doyle, the
starter dropped the flag at the half
mile pole. Summer Fern having the
speed of the party, Immediately shot
to the front and kept the lead until
he reached the wire, closely followed
by Robert West. Charles ODell made
a fine drive of it through the stretch,
but he could not reach the speedy sor-
rel trotter. The time of the heat was
10.
The Second Heat.
In the second heat James Furlong
drove Robert West and he was the
only entry that held any argument for
the heat with Summer Fern. The sor-
rel horse finished first Robert West
second, Prince Derby third, and Royal
Light fourth. The time was the same
as that of the previous heat.
The third and last heat of this race
was the most exciting of any. Char
lie O'Dell again sat behind Robert
West and while he made Summer
Fern go half in 10SA he could not
land the brown PAGER better than sec
ond place. Summer Fern won the
event in fine style and did not appear
to be all out at that. The winner is
owned by Mr.. E. T. Miles of this city.
and he is a horse that will make a
fine record for himself in the trotting
world should his owner decide to race
him.

O'Brien fought the fastest twelve
rounds ever seen before the Fort Erie
Club. He was in action every Sec
ond, feinting. shifting, dancing in and
out and piling the blows into the
husky "biker." and although he land
ed a sufficient number of times on
Weinig's jaw to have won half a doz-
en- fights, he seemed to lack a blow
powerful enough to knock him out.
Weinig was knocked down clean in
the first round and was hanging on
the ropes in the second and fourth
rounds, but his strength held him UNI
til O'Brien had literally cut his face
to ribbons, closed both eyes and worn
him down until he was unable to pro-
tect himself, or do damage to his op-
ponent. O'Brien did all the fighting,
Weinig seldom attempting q lead
O'Brien finished without stratch.
The betting was at prohibitive odds
in O'Brien's favor although much
money was won on the proposition of
Weinig staying ten rounds, which he
had backed himself literally to do.

The Buffalo man went down and out
in the middle of the twelfth after re-
ceiving terrific right hand upper cut
and shove which banged his head
against the floor and made his arising
within the ten seconds an impossible

The contest was one-sided all
through. Weinig did not land score
of clean blows throughout the twelve
rounds. while O'Brien. with singing
jabs, cutting swings and stunning
counters, played on the Buffalo man
wherever and whenever he pleased
But Weinigs vitality and well known
powers of recuperation and ability to
stand punishment enabled him to stand
on his feet and take all the grueling

PLAYED A TIE GAME.

LawtOn Cadets and Henry Street
School Met at Football.
The Lawton Cadets and Henry Street
School football teams met yesterday
morning at Bolton Street Park and
played tie game-5 to 5. Two twenty
minute halves were played and both
sides done some excellent work. The
touchdowns were made by Connors, of
the Cadets. and Bennett of the Henry
School, both making long runs to
the goal line.
Bythewood, Bennett and Spencer,
played a fine article of BAH for the
Henry Street School, and the Lawton
honors were carried off by Bell, West
colt, Green and Rossignol.
The game was to have been played
with the High School but the team
failed to appear and the Henry Street
School team was substituted. Quite a
large crowd attended and cheered both
sides as good plays were made.

How the Bicycle and Motor Events
Resulted.

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 1.-The New
Year celebration passed off unevent-
fully in Charleston.
The feature of the days sport was
the motor cycle racing at Baird's
Park. A large crowd was in attend
ance. There was some discomfort ex-
pressed because the interstate race
between M. S. Sullivan of Charleston
and Henry Thompson of Savannah did
not take place. The most exciting
event of the day was the five-mile
race between the motor machines the
BLACK Imp" and RED Devil" O'Neill
on the former and Thompson on the
latter. O'Neill won in 8:48 2-5. The
race between Leopold and Roberts
was little more than an exhibition af-
fair. Henry Thompson defeated
