MT OVER ARMY BY DECISIVE SCORE

echoed and re-echoed with the tremend-
Gus volume of cheers.
on the other side Of the field the West
Point battalion sat clad in the solemn
gray uniforms. They had no flags To
wave, but they made up for the lack of
decoration by roofing that was hardly
second to that Of the navy. All over
the vast stands for spectators flags of
both sides were to be seen waving. and
these combined to produce a wonderful
effect against the background Of the
dark clothes of the men and the multi
colOred hats and dresses Of the women.
Middies Celebrate.
After the game had been won the
Navy rushed down on the field and pa
raded about the grounds with a little
goat wrapped In a blanket of blue and
gold at their head. This was the mas
cot Of the Navy. and If ever there was
a sorry goat it was that one. Each
cadet attributed victory to the goat.
and each cadet gave the goat an affec-
tionate hug that the goat resented as
best It could. For a full half hour the
Middies celebrated the victory on the
field, parading around, shouting them
selves hoarse and doing the wonderful
smoke dance. Then they cleared the
gridirOn and the military cadets. like
true sportsmen, entered the arena for a
small celebration Of coincidence.

IN DANGEROUS CONDITION.
Lieut. sutton's Report Regarding
Arch Over Tidal Basin Flood Gates.

The condition of the arch over the flood
gates between the Washington channel and
the tidal basin has been brought to the at
tentton of the Commissioners in the form
of communication from ]. r. Sutton,
transmitted through Maj. Sylvester In his
report Lieut.. Sutton states that the work.
which Is OF stone. was built by the engineer
ing department of the United States army.
and that 1t is in the same condition as
when first built. He states that the gates
are used to flood the Washington channel
and the tidal basin. and that some one has
made a walk on the upper side with two
hand rails to protect pedestrians and that
the south side has no protection; also that
eighty-five feet on the city side of the sea
wall that approaches this dam no fence
has been provided. and that it Is quite dan
gerous.
Lieut. Sutton says the dam should have
guard rails or be closed In some way to pre-
vent persons from walking over it. In con-
clusfon he reports that the place was never
intended as passage way. but that per-
sons have got into the habit of passing
over 1t on their way to the flats.
The recommendation of the Commission
ers was that the matter be brought to the
attention of the officials of the War De-
partment.

Jumped into the breach in Allegany, the
of handshaking over the county. and, with
himself. and from now till the time of the
primaries the last of this month, it will be
war to the knife. Mr.. Lowndes has been
spending weeks In fixing his fences and has
been unsparing with his means. but many
politicians say that so far 1t has been lost
motion" From now on 1t is expected that
the work done will be of the effective kind
Mr. Lowhdes has been doing a great deal
of Handwriting over the county, and with
the aid of a number of politicians, conspicu-
Gus in ward work, has been trying to make
good" with the boys"
For a month or more the personal organ
OF Mr.. lowndes, the Cumberland Daily
News. which is owned by him and which
Is the only republican daily newspaper pub
lished In the sixth congressional district
outside of the Hagerstown Herald, has
been attacking Col. Pearre in a virulent
manner. At the same time the name of
Mr.. Lowndes is at the head of the editorial
column as the nominee for congress. Col.
Pearres friends thinking the time to act
had arrived. yesterday announced in the
cratic organ here, that they had secured
space in that paper and until the primaries
were held Col Pearre would be defended
In that space from the attacks of the Daily
News and his interests in his contest for
denomination would be promoted.
Mr.. Bowndes' friends have Invaded Gar
rett county. but the reports from there do
not give the young candidate much en-
enlargement. 1t Is said much money has
been poured into Garrett county. 1t is
known that large sum was sent to Fred
erick county to fight Pearre.
The friends of the latter say that the re-
suit will be the same as It was In Fred
erlck. which caused much enthusiasm
among the Pearre workers. Charles H.
Hoffman Is directing the fight of Mr..
Lowndes and is in constant consultation
with the latter being very active at the
Lowndes headquarters. Mr.. Lowndes en-
tertained at the Hotel Gladstone. Frost
burg. last Tuesday night. 1t is said the
event was replete with unique features.
As the fight progresses in this county the
Pearre people expressed renewed confidence
in the ability of Col Pearre to win by a
big margin The Pearre people say that
the Lowndes fight Is led by a number of
generals, but 1t lacks ''privates."
