Citizens to Continue Opposition.

Residents of Kenilworth and Tuxedo have
not lost interest in their fight against the
proposed pool room which. it is declared, is
being constructed on the Prince George
county side of the line at Kenilworth not
withstanding the statements that the place
is to be run under the laws of the state.
It is belived by the DIRECTORS that there is
no law upon the statute books of Maryland
which will give the promoters of the enter
prise any protection. Should the room be
opened and bets taken. it is said, effort
will be made to force the courts to decide
the question at once. Sheriff Middleton has
been told of what is in prospect, and the
people will expect him to take hand in
the matter before property interests are
damaged and it is too late to stop the sports
from congregating there.
1t was said yesterday that some of the
telegra phi poles had been erected without
permission from the county, and that an
effort was to be made yesterday afternoon
to get the required permission. The first
move made by the workmen was to erect
poles along the Addison Chapel road but
change was made in this work for the rea-
son, it is said, that it was feared the Penn
syIvania Railroad Company would object to
the stringing of the wires across their
tracks.
Then the workmen started upon the work
of erecting them along Anacostia avenue
from Kenilworth to the Shepherds branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, where
Western Union company. The change made
in the line necessitates the erection of a
greater number of poles, but the poles are
pine and inexpensive.
1t is thought that the poles will all be in
position by next Saturday. and the wires
ready to receive information from the race
tracks
The poles are being erected upon the
public highway. and not upon private prop
erty. Mr.. ]. C. Sheriff who owns consid-
cradle property upon the Anacostia and
Addison Chapel roads, says the statement
printed yesterday that he had granted the
privilege of erecting any of the poles upon
his property is Incorrect He says he has
granted no such permission to anybody, and
has no such understanding with anybody.
No Connection by Wire.
There are no wires running from any
point in the District to the alleged pool
room at Kenilworth. This fact was ascer-
tanned by the electrical engineer Of the Dis
trict and reported to the Commissioners to-
day. The matter of the location of a pool
has not been officially made known to the
Commissioners as yet, but. on reading of
the action of the Kenilworth Citizens Asso-
citation Mr.. Macfarland directed the cleo
trical engineer to make an investga ton of
the matter and report to him whether or
not any of the wires entering the so-called
pool room came from the District The re-
port was received this afternoon and states
that no wires go from the District into the
building. All of the wires entering the
building appear to come from the state of
Maryland and their probable source is B1a-
densburg.

Accuracy of Workmanship.
,m The Pail Mall Gazette

Ability to shoot straight is to some ex-
tent a natural gift. and it is useless trying
to make a captain OF gun of man who
does not possess tn faculty. He may be
a good enough man in other ways but
unless he has "a straight eye" he will never
become much of a marksman. The admir-
atty recognize this. and have ceased trying
to make crack shots of men whose talents
do not lie in that direction.
