resentatives won six The work of the To-
cal men showed the thorough training they
have received at the hands of Prof. Oar
rieulaut, the maitre de armes OF the WASH
ington Fencing Club. Their parrying ana
thrusts were distinctly of the French
school, and they seemed TO be finer trained
in every way than their opponents. There
was large attendance, which Included
many of the young ladies from the various
Summaries of the city as we'll as many from
the social and diplomatic circles.
The first contest was between DR.. Ham
mond of the New York Athletic Club and

ton Fencing Club. Mr. Breckenridge, who
is superb fencer, easily outpointed his
rival and won handily. In the second bout
DR.. Mcclellan of the New York Athletic
Club lost to H. s. Breckenridge of the local
organization. The first of the locals to be
defeated was Mr.. Micheloni, who lost to

testant having made the same number of
points and having been equally expert in
the use of the foil The bout was con-
tested again and DR.. Hammond was the
second visitor to defeat local man. The
contest between DR.. Mcclellan of the New
York Athletic Club and Mr.. Micheloni of
the Washington Fencing Club was won by
the local man after fine exhibition. Then
Scott D. Breckinridge won handily from
Mr.. Goodhue of the New York Athletic
Club and Mr.. Micheloni defeated Dr. Ham
mond, who was the foremost fencer Of the
visitors team. Scott Breckenridge in the
next bout with DR.. Mcclellan defeated him
and easily established his reputation as one
of the best fencers In the country. In the
last bout of the program Mr., H S. Breck-.
inridge won from Mr.. Goodhue of the visit
Ing team. The final score standing in the
matter of bouts won and lost was, Wash
ington Fencing Club. 8; New York Athletic

The printers, in their contest with Interior
Wednesday night, showed a bit of team
work in the arrangement of their playing
forces, which was largely instrumental in
winning the match.
Mccormick probably their strongest
player was pitted against Byler instead of
Walker as was expected, while Graham,
the printers captain. led forlorn hope at
board No. I against Walker. By this ar
rangement Mccormick was kept where he
would do the most good, as it was realized
that win at his board would at least keep
matters even, Benton being relied upon
to dispose of Lounsberry. The result of the
match shows the wisdom of this plan, as
Mccormick and Benton both won, and
Arends, by holding Pratt to a draw, won
the match

ever, that 1t will soon strike the return

MEET IN FRISCO

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO. February 3. - The
1906 national amateur boxing Champion
ships will be held in San Francisco under
the auspices of the Olympic Athletic Club.
This important matter has been definitely
decided. but as yet the question of dates
is unsettled. Negotiations are in progress
with the officials In the east relative to
the number of men that are eligible to
take part in the tournament, and James
E. Sullivan, secretary and treasurer of tho
Amateur Athletic Union, has also been
written concerning full data for holding the
big event.
When an answer is received the directors
of the Olympic Club will select the very
best material to bring to the coast. 1t is
hoped that all the winners of titles in the
event held at Boston last year Will partici-
pate In the bouts in this city.
Though the Olympic Cub has had eastern
boxers out here before, this year will be
the first time a national championship tour
nament has been pulled off in San Fran
CISCO With the best of the mitt artists IN
the local amateur ranks entered against
representatives from all of the large cites
in the east, the affair will likely result in
one of the most interesting of the kind ever
held in the history of the Amateur Athletic
Union.

AUTO ACCESSORIES.
Firm Handles Dry Battery and the
Never-Out Lamp.

The National Electrical Supply Company,
occupying the four-story building 1880 New
York avenue northwest, the successor of
the pioneer firm in the electrical supply and
contracting business in this city, Royce Il
Marean, added to it's business in 1909 a
line of accessories for automobiles
This company has for years been at the
head of the list of jobbers of electrical
supplies, while in its contracting depart
nent it is second to none in the United
States. On the advent of the automobile on
Washington streets the firm was quick to
see the development this industry
would reach and put in complete stock
of such things that the autoist would re-
quire in advance of others.
The first two items that were put in stock
three years ago were the Columbia Dry bat
terry and the Never-out lamp, both of which
have proven so satisfactory that the COM
penny at this time represents the factories
in question.
A competent corps of statesmen, thor
oughly familiar with the working of auto
me bles, will be found at the salesroom of
the company, 1880 New York avenue, who
gladly advise prospective buyers of the
articles best suited for their particular car.
