VICTORY FOR LOCAL FENCERs.
Georgetown Won Six Out of Nine Bouts
From Princeton.

The fencing contest last evening at Cas-
ton Hail. Georgetown, between the Prince
ton and blue and gray team proved most
interesting. the latter winning six out of
nine bouts. This was Georgetown's debut
into intercollegiate fencing, and the large
crowd that watched the contests was en-
thusiastic over the victory of the local
boys. The Princeton team should have
been here In time to start the fencing at
4 o'clock. but the railroad schedule was
deranged account of the Inauguration
and the collegians reached the city four
hours late. The tiresome delay doubtless
the Tigers in the contests. but
the Georgetown boys deserve great credit
for coming out best with so strong a
team.
A draw resulted in one Of the bouts be-
tween c. Coppinger of Georgetown and II.
Breckenridge. Princeton.
Prof. Darrienlat instructor of the Wash
ington Fencing Club and also Of George
town. appeared in two exhibition combats
with Capt. 8. D. Breckenridge Of the

MADDEN's TWo-YEAR-oLDS.
Great Trainer to Be Represented by
Fine String of Youngsters.

John E. Madden will be represented in
the principal two-year-old events this year
and in the special three-year-old events of
next year by colts and FLIES by the good
horse Ogden. Six of the nominations in
the Realization of 1906 are sons and daugh-
tiers of Ogden, while the others are by
Mlrthful, Sandringham and Plaudit, and
these mirthfuls are the last sired by the
dead stallion.
The Ogdens are not only more numerous
than the youngsters of other stations own
ed by Madden. but they are from his most
highly priced mares One Is a half sister
to Captain s. S. Browns good race horse
Hyphen, which defeated Major danger
field in the Brighton Derby in 1902 An
other is a half brother to Adbell a two
year-old, which Madden highly priced in
1908 but which did not run up to his work.
The half brother to Adbell is the colt Bel
meer, which is Madden's principal candf-
date for the early two-year-old events this
season. This colt has been pronounced the
by many good judges of young horses. and
Madden has already received several fiat
tering offers for him.
Since AdbeI has been entered In nearly
all the big three-year-old events this sea-
son, and none of his engagements has
been cancelled it is supposed that Madden
hopes to get him to go to the post In good
condition. He was one of the best colts at
Saratoga in 1903 and his fast work at
tracted the attention of many of the horse
men. His owner hoped to make first rate
three-year-old of him In 1904, but he pulled
up lame after one of his workouts, and his
owner thought it best to give him a years
rest. There is a half-brother to Mirthful
In the Realization of 1906, but this colt is
by Sandringham.

Yankee will probably take his place. Mad
den won his first futurity with this colt.
The late w. G. Whitney owned half inter-
est in this horse at the time, but he was
trained by Madden and carried his colors.
Madden always thought Yankee the best
two-year-old of his season, in spite of the
fact that his was also the season of Gold
smith, Blue Girl, Heno, Nasturtium and
Endurance by Right.

name of Daniel Lewis. He is said to be
wonder for a man who has done so little

think so well of him that they say they
will back him against Sullivan at the odds
of $500 to $500. Secretary Maurice Her.

Capacity OF Transportauou aueS
Taxed to Utmost-General Items.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. March f. 1905.
All the transportation lines leading from
here to Washington have been taxed to
their utmost capacity this morning to con-
vey thousands Of people from this city and
the surrounding country to the capital city
in time to see the inaugural parade. The
rush for Washington began in the early
hours Of the day many people starting soon
in order to avoid, in measure, the conges-
ton of traffic which occurred little later
in the day The King street stations OF
the Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon electric line were soon filled with
waiting passengers, while the depots OF the
steam roads. especially the Washington
Southern. contained big crowds before the
hour OF departure Of every scheduled train
THE heavy burden Of transportation was
somewhat relieved by the placing of extra
trains on the line OF the Washington South
ern.
While the problem of getting to Washing
ton was serious one, the question of get
ting back to this city tonight, 1t Is feared
will be much more uncertain. Should the
strain prove the undoing of the electric
line as occurs SO frequently when the
slightest tax is put upon Its resources. the
principal dependence will probably be placed
in the Washington Southern Company.

bringing a large part Of the crowd back

boarding houses in Washington yesterday

saw the car in time to jump from the
wagon to safety. The girl, who is re-
markably small for her age, was not
rendered unconscious but was carried
into a nearby restaurant by neighbors
who saw the accident and notified the
Child's father.
The little girl was taken by her
father to the office of DR.. F. o. Yost, on
Downey avenue, but owing to mis-
understanding a delay occurred and
the angry father carried his child about
some time before he could find an
other physician.
Flory says he called up DR.. Yost's
office and notified the physician that
he and the child would be there in a
few minutes. He says DR.. Yost is the
family physician. Flory asserts ne
waited forty-five minutes in DR.. Yosts
office while the doctor was convers-
ing in another room.
DR.. Yost says he was busy when
Flory called, but that within five min
utes he was ready to attend the child.
He did not even learn the names of his
callers and was not aware that Flory
thought he had been neglected until
told by a Herald reporter.

CITY CHEMIST CHANGES RULE
No Sample offered Will Be Received
in Future Except From
INSPECTORS

thereafter no samples of foods will
receive the consideration of the city
chemists office unless they are pre-
sented by the regular inspectors"
City Chemist Miller made this state
ment yesterday morning after an inter-
esting interview with M. o. G. Bartlett
of the Bartlett -Coulthard Pickle COM
pany, in which Mr.. Bartlett succeeded
in convincing the city chemist that a
rival company was trying to use the
pure food laws to put his firm out of
business, fact which Mr.. Miller had
suspected.
A few days ago member of a rival
firm took a sample of the Bartlett
Coulthard vinegar to the city chemist s
office for analysis. Tests proved that
1t was below grade but Mr. Miller sus-
pected that some sort of a trick had
been played on him and he sent an
inspector for a sample of the same
vinegar. The last sample proved to be
far above the grade established by law
and the chemist thought no more of
the incident until yesterday morning,
when Mr.. Bartlett hurried to his office
and stated that his business rival was
circulating reports, purporting to come
from the chemists office, that his vine
gar was in violation of the pure food
laws.
Mr.. Miller explained the circum-
stances and now Mr.. Bartlett is trying
to ascertain if he has any legal redress
in the case
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-25

The domestic affairs of one of Los
Angeles most prominent families were
given an airing yesterday when the pc
tition of Mrs. Aurelia Seek for divorce
from her husband, ]. H. Seek, stock
broker, was given a hearing before
Judge Monroe of department six of the
superior court.
The court room was crowded with
handsomely gowned women yesterday
when the case was called at 10 o'clock
in the morning. Mrs. Seek, the plain
tiff, was easily distinguished among
even these representatives of society by
the richness of her apparel. She wore
a soft violet suit with gold trimmings.
The jacket was opened enough to show
wealth of fine linen ruffies and in
sertion. A natty polo hat of violet with
a black cockade completed the outfit.
According to the allegations of Mrs.
Seek her marriage to a man nearly
twice her age has been anything but
a happy one. They were married in
San Diego in 1896. There had been no
children, by the marriage, but Seek has
married daughter in New York by
former marriage.
HE was constantly finding fault and
nagging," said Mrs. Seek yesterday as
she gave her evidence, while every once
in a while sob would slip into her
voice as she recited the details of her
marital difficulties.
