IT WAS A scRAPPY GAME.
Navy Wins From North Caro-
lima BY to q.

At no time during the thirteen
innings required to decide the scrappy
game of bail between the University
of North Carolina and the Naval Aoad
emy did interest lag. There was
something doing at every stage of the
proceedings and the splendid field
work of both sides elioited the great.
est enthusiasm. The stick work of
Gill was OF the greatest interest aud
he was in fact the only player to dis
tinguish himself.
After the fourth inning interest was
on the qui vive of expectancy. With
the score tied and North Carolina
down in one, two, three order. 1t seem
ed as though the Navy could get "a
lead. The score hung where it was at
the fourth inning all the way through
to the thirteenth, when Gill found the
ball for what should have been an
out at short. He made first and had
serious designs on second base when

er for two Dagger. lie raced around
in close pursuit of Gill, who came in

A BIG COURT DOCKET.
Two Murder Cases And Large
Number of Others OF
Importance.

One of the largest dockets in the
history of the county will confront
Judges Revell, Thomas and Jones
when they open the April term of
Court on Monday. At the same time
the grand jury for the term will con-
vene and will have many cases to con-
slider. AS many of the cases are of
the greatest importance it is thought
that the term will be a rather long
one.
Two murder cases will come up for
disposition, one being that OF Ed
ward, alias Egypt. Galloway, charged
with the murder of Arthur Dorsey in
Prince George county in 1899. He
asked for q change of venue and it
was transferred TO this court. The
case promises to be of a rather inter
esting nature owing to the difficulty
in arriving at the veracity of the
large number of witnesses in the case.
The other murder case is that of Will
lam Leazer, charged with the murder
of Patrolman McNamara, at Fairfield,
this county. The grand jury will
consider this case among the first to
be brought before the body ana it will
come up for trial early in the term.
On the trial docket are fifty-two
cases-11 civil appeals, 80 appearances,
III criminal continuances, 10 criminal
appearances, II criminal appeals. Out
side of the number already on the
docket will be added several others Of
great Importance as they are produced
by the grand jury.

The cortege passed out West street

THE NAVY WINS BOAT RACE.
VICTORIOUSOVER VISITORS
BY SINGLE LENGTH.
Rowing Season Inauguratcd at The
Naval Academy Between
MidShipmen And
(Jeorostouyo.
Georgetown.

Against a strong head breeze, through
water that Tapped their bows and
covered the frail shells with heavy
spray the two crews of the Navy and
the two of Georgetown University
fought out the battle for supremacy
on the water and the Navy won-won
with ease and in time that was really
surprising considering the weather
With victory TO the credit of each
institution and winnings from other
bodies buoying up the hopes of both
sides, IL was patent when they took
heir places in the shells that the race
would be n fast one. Fully three
thousand persons witnessed the con.
test from bridge and shore and boat.
The course was down the Severn
from point two miles above the rail
road bridge TO the bridge, Ii was at
first intended TO have the course layed
on the outside legs, but wind and
tide prevented. Such was the delay
oceasioned in making the start that
both races were rowed at the same
time, the finish being of the most ex-
citing nature.
1t was at l1.20 O'Clock that the
starting gun was fired. At that time
the crews were having di ilioulty in
htdItAE hii6 NiAtllN hN IhHb, DuN WHEN
the start was announced all four boats
got away together in rather close
and dangerous bunch Both Navy
shells were on the outside with
Georgetown in the middle.
For one-half of the distance there
was no perceptible gain on the part of
the Navy, but they finally. drew ahead
and at the mile and a.half buoy the
gtrnln nnfaEnpaI ltar In,
when less than an eighth of a mile
from the finish line. Georgetown
made feeble effort to quicken the
stroke, but settled back into the long,
steady and strong pull which gener-
ally counts SO well, but in this event
was to lose them the race.
At the finish there was no open
water between the boats, but the Navy
wen by a full length. The second
Navy crew did even better winning
by at least two full lengths From
steamer and launch, tug and yacht
whistles were blown, flags were
trhown TO the breeze and the Navy
sympathizers gave full reign to their
feelings.
The Navy teams, forfeited by weeks
of steady practice in open and choppy
water, were but little exhausted by
their strong finish, while Georgetown,
with many new men in their crews,
were badly exhausted. The victors
we're escorted to the boathouse, sur
rounded by a perfect school of sauoy
launches raising din that could be
heard for miles.
The official time for the race of the
first crew was given as 1921 and a
fraction and for the second 10. "a and
a fraction. Lieutenant Phelps was
starter. Instructor Zapone was refe-
rec, and Magana, for Georgetown,
and Smith and Doherty, for the Navy,
were the timers. Hayes and Fitch
were judges at the stake boat.

BLESSING OF PALMS.
Observance of Palm Sunday at
St. Mary's Church
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow sun usners in the last
week of Lent called variously, the
Holy Week, the Great Week, the
Week of Austerities, the Week of Sor-
rows. ALI during Lent the chief aim
of the church has been to prepare her
people to take each personal part in
the scenes leading up TO the Friday we
call Good, because ON that day Our
Lord, Jesus Christ by His death. pur
chased for mankind the only real
good, Salvation.
Palm Sunday is so called from the
blessing of the palms, (which are dis
tributed TO the clergy according to
their rank, then to all the people and
are held in their hands while the
Gospel of the Mass, which is the story
of the Passion of Our Lord as told by
st. Matthew, is read, to show that
only through the merits of His suffer
ings and death is a share in His vic
tory to be obtained. The palms are
carried TO the homes of the people for
the prayers beg that those who carry
them with devotion may be protected
in body and soul, and that the
dwellings into which they are brought
may be blessed.
The lesson read in the ceremony of
the blessing is taken from the book
of Exodus, chapters 10 and 16, and the
Gospel from St. Mark, chapter 81,
which tells of Our Lords trIumphai
entry into Jerusalem, samid thesplan-
dts of the multitude bearing palms,
the emblem of victory in their hands,
and singing: "Hosanna to the Son of
David Blessed is He that cometh
in the name of the Lord" and this
only five days before His death, when
the Cruelty Him, I" Cruelty Him"
was the cry of the same multitude.
The services at Saint Mary's will be-
gin at 10 o'clock instead of 10. 30
O'Clock. At the 6 O'Clock Mass the
SodaIity of the Children of Mary will
receive Holy Communion in a body.
The O'Clock and O'Clock masses
will be as usual, and the last and most
important sermons of tile Sunday
night series Will be preached by the
Very Rev Thomas y. Hanley, after
which Benediction of the Most Blessed
Sacrament will be given.
