from boat ride and much to
her surprise found her sisters
home taken by a storm of young
people. waiting her return. The
evening was spent in most pleas
ing manner to all those who had
the privilege to participate in the
event. The browning event of
the evening was the delicious re-
past which was Served which
could not be surpassed. Miss
Griffith leaves for her home to-
morrow. which is near Parkers-
burg.
The steamer F. A. GOebel, which
is now moored in the Ohio river
at Guyandotte, has been sold.
Capt. William j. Duffy sold the
steamer to the Chicago Engineer
ing and Construction Company,
for a private consideration. 1t is
understood that the boat brought
a large price. The boat has done
good service on the Chic river
and her career has been a most
prosperous one. Capt. Duffy will
deliver her in Louisville, where
she will be used in the public
works.
The H. X. Bedford returned to
the Parkersburg and Wheeling
trade. where she has been fix
ture for several years. The Bed
ford now has a new hull and new
boilers that are allowed 1873 lbs,
Iof steam.
1t is said that there will be some
changes before many months in
the operation of the large steam
boat lines. A consolidation of all
interests and the owning of all the
wharfboats and the landings be-
TWEEN Pittsburg and Cincinnati are
among the possibilities. Co. OPP
GRAFTON seems the only salvation
for the packet lines and the only
way to solve some of the knOtty
problems that now confront them.
Something must be done and in all
probability will be done to re-
duce the operating expenses of the
packets and put them on level
with their comprehensive rail-
roads-as transporters of freight
and passengers. People who now
look upon the magnificent steam
ers Queen City and Virginia will
mot see their like again on these
waters if there is not soon a great
change in conditions.

Notes of the Game.

President Noyes-'1t was a splendid
crowd, and I'm sorry the boys lost
Treasurer Rapley-''Too bad We lost be-
fore such a nice attendance"
Secretary Minor-'I rooted from start to
finish but without avail
Manager Stahl-"Chesbro had everything
and made US look foolish
Business Manager FowIer-"My arm
aches yet counting up the money, and 1t
was glorious day from box office point
of view
Manager Griffith-'I wanted that opening
game very badly, but your boys gave me
quite scare at several stages of the
route"
Everybody appeared TO be pleased over
the game fight put up by the Nationals
and see brighter days ahead for the game
In Washington.
In the eighth inning Patten. Jones and
Hill went out In order on strikes while
Chesbro wore a satisfied smile.
Bill Coughlin will never be missed IL Hun
ter Hill continues TO work like he did yes
terday.
Umpire Tommy Connolly came in for a
fair snare OF praise on his quick handling
of the game, and there was not the slight
est kick over any of his decisions. Tommy
is in a class by himself.
Privilege Man Decker served cigars in
the press box before the game started, and
everybody smoked to the success of the
team.
President Gordon of the New Yorks hon.
did Commissioner West. Both enjoyed the
sight from the lofty perch.
Rfghtfielder Cassaday is entitled to the
bunch of American beauty roses offered by
Florist Guide for the player scoring the
first run for the Nationals
Jackson Bros, the furniture dealers, have
offered Morris chair to the first National
player scoring home run. Huelsman

prize yesterday

Another new face will be added to the
Nationals roster shortly In Danny Sulfi-
van, the extra outfelder secured by Detroit
from the Minneapolis club Of the Ameri-
can Association. Detroit had no room for
him. and Manager Stahl refused to waive
claim on him. as he was touted very highly
at the END OF last season. Sullivan bafted
over 300 last season and also helded well.
For short game. With q low score and
only few batsmen. Patten pitched an un-
usually large number Of balls yesterday.

tossing 122 over the plate. This was an
average of 3SS to the batSman. Cheshire
pitched only 80 balls, average of 291.
Patterns worst inning In this respect as
the score suggests, was the first when he
served up twenty-five balls. But he did al
most as much work in the sixth. wneh
only one run was scored. and that by grace
of more errors, pitching twenty-one balls.
Chesbro's worst inning was the fifth, when
Washington scored a run while he was
pitching seventeen balls. His best inning
was the seventh, within one of the lowest
possible, retiring Mullen, Cassaday and
kittredge on four pitches. In the eighth,
when he struck out the side. he pitched
thirteen times. Patterns best inning was
the eighth when he disposed of the H sh-
landerS in order with seven deliveries. The
game remarkable in the respect that
only two pitched balls We're wasted IN an
counting fouls, that is, after two strikes
were called. Both of these fouls were Bat
better of the foul-strike rule, getting the
benefit of twelve such, while Patten ha--
vested only eight.
Huelsman is so superstitious that he will
not have his photograph taken on any day
except Thursday, and even then he says
he runs a risk because he has never had
his picture taken that he doesn't get hit
with the ball or by a carelessly swung bat

NEW YORK RACING SEASON.
Starts Today With the Big Carter
Handicap,

The Carter handicap, at seven furlongs.
with 50 900 added. will today mark the In
auguration of the New York racing season
at Aqueduct. With conditions favorable
for a fast track 1t is believed that the field
which Will face the barrier will be one OF
the largest and most evenly matched that
has ever contested for the first real racing
hOnors of the eastern season. Thousands Of
race going enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting
the call of the bugle. and the managers OF
the sport are confident that 1905 will be
productive of as high class of racing as
has ever been witnessed in this country.
That the Carter handicap field will be a
large one and the race a hard-fought con-
test is evidenced by the fact that twenty
one horses, among them the best sprinters
in training, are posted as starters, and only
four of these are said to be doubtful. The
race will be run as the fourth on the pro-
gram.
The starters. together with weights. prob
able jockeys and probable betting odds, are

can, Ocean Tide Grenade and Jack Ratlin.
Rapid Water, because of his class, will be
instaked as public fayorte. according to
the opinion expressed. There are a dozen
other horses entered, however. which are
sure to be heavily played by the followers
of form. for they have already won good
races this spring at New ORLEANS and Ben
ming.
Among these mentioned Roseben, the
Splinter which came from New Orleans
with an enviable reputation; Buttons, the
Shields candidate, which won his last start;
Toscan, which. if the track is heavy, will
have following second to none, and the
stable mates, Santa Catalina and Bohemia,
both with exceedingly light imposts and
both pointed for today's event.
The highest class of the race finds many
of It's representatives. however. in the list
of those horses which will face the starter
for the first time this season. The excel
lent weather of the past three weeks has
enabled the trainers at New York tracks
to prepare their thoroughbreds for the post,
and, as was the case last year, the winner
may develop from this set.

The closing game of the season of the
National Guards Athletic Association Bas-

the National Guard gymnasium between
the Coreoran Cadets and Ordway Rifles
teams, in which the former came out VIC

The game was void of delays and wrangle
and was played in sixty minutes. The first
half closed with big lead for the cadets
