Complaint Regarding Alley.

John E. Hammond of 213 r street north
east recently called the attention of the
Commissioners to the dirty condition Of
the alley in the square between I'd and Sd
and r and Quincy streets northeast st.
An investigation by the engineer depart
ment shows that teams driving into the
alley from private ground leave the dirt
behind them. The paper will be referred
to the police department, the dumping at
the west end of the alley and the driving
into it from that end as we'll.

OUAGMIRE IN INFIELD

Although the weather was cold and blus-
try it did not prevent a large turning out
to witness the races at Benning this after
noon. The people poured into the grand
stand in holiday proportions early as
O'Clock. while the first race was not called
until 3 The attendance from Baltimore was
also very large.
The heavy rain this morning again stiffen-
ed up the track, but the strong wind that
has been blowing since daylight worked
wonders with the mud, and prevented 1t
from being sloppy for the ponies. The go
ing for the steeplechase was something
fierce" as the infield was almost a quag-
mire and at the finish the tired nags could
just about gallop down the stretch to the
finishing point.
Today's card is above the average, many
of the crack ponies now at the track be-
ing entered in the different events. The
sport was unusually interesting to the
holiday crowd of onlookerS, but to the
betting talent it was a stiff proposition.
The splendid victory of Mrs. Frank Fos-
ter yesterday was the general gossip at
the track today and majority of horsemen
have given up predicting when this splen-
did animal will be all in. At present she
seems able to take the measure of any
horse at the track.
All the bookmakers were down to bust
ness today, fifty-three occupying stools.

The lodge room had been beautifully Y
decorated with purple and white. The
entrance hail had long strings of paper
which made it look very handsome, aud
the main hall was filled with potted
plants and artistic banners hung from
the wall.
The dedication was completed in the
evening by grand ball given at Armory
and the new Elks' hall. The principal
dancing was at the Armory, owing to it
being the larger and more comfortable
for The large crowd that was present. The
grand march was led off at 8 O'clock with
Mr.. and Mrs. f. j. Altvater and Exalted
Ruler Charles McCallister and wife lead
ing, after which dancing was INDUCED in
until o'clock Tuesday morning. There
were about 100 couples present and all
enjoyed one of the finest evenings ever
given in this county. Many were the
beautiful gowns worn by the ladies', and
the dancers in the handsome surround
rgs, made it one of the prettiest pictures
ever seen here. The decorations at the
L.rmory hall were the handsomest that
that hall has ever been arranged. Long
flowing curled purple and white papers
hung suspended from the big chandelier
around the room and the walls we're all
hung with beautiful banners artistically
arranged N handsome designs OF curled
paper. The music furnished by koenig.
burg and local musicians was certainly
the very best that has ever been given in
this city, and was greatly appreciated by
all. During the early hours Of the even

that good many adjourned to the Elks
