ECLIPSE OF MOON TONIGHT.
Observation Will Be Partial and Not
Visible in Beginning.

partial eclipse Of the moon is sche-
duled for this evening. The phenomenon
occurs so early that it will be observable
only In the eastern part Of North America
AS this Is cloudy day 1t will not be no.
ticeable here. The show will be nearly or
quite half over when the moon rises.
Owing to the difference in time, due to
longitude. Europe will be better situated to
witness 1t than the United States The
moon ought to begin to enter the earths
shadow at 5:34 eastern standard time, to
reach the greatest degree Of observation ut
i:13, and to be entirely clear again at 1852
As the moon does not pass through the ex-
act center Of the shadow an exceedingly
narrow section will project even at the
most critical stage.

Notes of Yesterdays Racing.

With the exception of but one race there
was no chance for anxiety yesterday on the
part of the favorite players. for in FIVE
OF the races the margins of the winners
at the end was anywhere from three to
six lengths. On no other day this meeting
have the contests been won so easily and
had Interlude not swerved so badly all
through the final furlong he too would
have won by daylight. 1t was q day when
the card looked soft but the sharp players
would not play the favorites. The general
public did and got the money the books
losing heavily.
George Odom had trouble aplenty with
Reverberate, starter in the two-year-old
event. Odom is pretty husky lad but
he needed assistance to get the Pepper
stables FLY to the post She showed her
temper in every conceivable way. She got
much the worst of the start. and 1t Is prob
ably just well for the hackers of Inter-
lude that she did for she was running
lude swerving as he did. she might have
bea ten him with an even break.
lnterlude was mighty poor to shot
In the event and he was mighty lucky to
squeeze home in front. At that it was
only luck that made him win for when
Hack cut him with the whip in the final
furlong he swerved over In front of Rever-
berate and shut the latter off. compelling
OdoIn to pull the latter up short Interlude
then swerved to the inside. and II the in
side rail had not been there he would have
gone into the infield
Poor Ride on Merriment
1t YVES a weak ride that Blake put I'D on
Aerriment in the third race. He hardly
made q move on the filly until the race was
practically over. When he did let her
down the filly swerved across the track.
and ar the end just beat Hist q half
length for third money. 1t was a poor
exhibition for Blake. and his ride was the
subject OF much comment In the paddock
Although Himself always goes best in
the soft going. Odom had him In the
middle of the track all the way, where
the track was nearly dry. At that Him
self had no chance to beat Yellow Tail
at the weights, and 1t took his best ef-
forts TO head Blue and Orange for the
place.
II Carroll d. had won the closing event
he would probably have been disqualified
Tor he played rough house with knight of
the Garter and Black Dick on the first
turn. In his effort to get to the front
Odom shut OF Black Dick and then
crowded Knight of the Garter. It was
plainly rough work on his part, but Burns,
who rode Black Dick did not complain.
Cherubim won. but Radfern rode none
too good race on her. He was shut out
several times in the hrst half mile, and
had to come around his field to get up.
He had 70 whip the nily to get to the

Of the Play.
SCORE Is Is TO 5

The golf season in the District of Column
efa was opened today at Chevy Chase
when the pick of the players of Philadel-
phia and of Washington came together for
single and best four ball matches. Almost
the same teams played the same sort Of a
match in Philadelphia last fall, and the
Quakers were victorious, by the score OF
four holes in thirtysix played. Today's
match has attracted considerable interest
among the golf players of the eastern cities
and numerous wagers have been made
quietly on the result. Golfers are not sup
posed to bet, it being declared poor form
by the authorities. but the sporting spirit
is there and wagers viii result.
Course in Fine Condition.
Professional Douglas had the course in
almost perfect condition, and the visitors
were enthusiastic over the excellent condi-
tons for play. Chief Moore of the weather
bureau was out playing golf yesterday, and
Mr.. Douglas insisted that good weather
conditions would be the order of the day.
AT any rate, the weather was ideal for
golf, not breath of air stirring and the
sun hiding behind the clouds. These condi-
tons prevented that bugaboo to golfers

prevailed.
The Washington team is made up of play

teams, and after a consultation 1t was de-
cided to have two captains today, +. o.

About F o'clock Wednesday night man giving his name as w. McCua came into the waiting room of the Cliff lodging house at Prescott. engaged a room. and. after sitting for some time as if in doubt what to do, finally said he would go to bed. He started up stairs several times but would hesitat te and start back. He finally went into his room and in about three minutes another man who was occupying a bed in the same room came to the stairs and said the fellow had just attempted suicide.
 An officer was sent for and the man vas found lying on the floor with his throat badly cut and a large pocket knife by his side with which he had done the deed. The blade had missed the artery, but had cut the windpipe nearly in two. He was conscious and told the men that he wanted all his things given to Frank Ryan, who is now at the county hospital.
 A hack was called and he was taken to the court house, where a doctor dressed the wound. and he was removed to the county hospital. where he is rest 1 ing as well as possible and will likely l recover.
 i He had been drinking very hard for several days and acted like he was
 mentally unbalanced. It is said ha made an attack on the nurse at the hos 1 pital and acted like he wanted to kill . him. He is q miner. apparently about l 40 years of age. Nothing is known oi
 his poole or where his former home
 was.-Journal Miner.
