Brooks was the better known. and 1t Is
doubtful IL any one ever was his equal with
the five-stringed instrument.
Brooks was born In Stamford. Conn. and
was forty-five years old. He picked up the

called, which took place at Chickering Hall
In 1881 Brooks easily took the prize.
He could play anything on his banjo from
almost the entire score of one of the great
operas down to the latest ragtime piece.
His versatility was remarkable. It has been

fifty years. When I was a boy 1t was

ton given in The Star. As recall. 1t con-
sisted OF two round chambers. one larger
than the other, to reach which We had TO

ICE SURFACE FOR SKATERS.
Pond on Improved Portion of Potomac
Park.

The suggestion made In The Star several
days ago-that the !ce-covered pond now
covering what will be the chaldren's section
On the improved portions Of Potomac Park,
lying between the approach to the new
Highway bridge and the railway tracks
to the new Pennsylvania railway bridge
would make a safe skating pond-has been
adopted by many skaters. and each evening
they have been enjoying several hours OF
fine sport on its smooth surface
The pond was made in pumping liquid
mud from the bottom OF the tidal basin
upon the playground for the purpose of lev
cling it in order to provide a smooth sur
face for out-of-door sports. After the solid
matter settled and before all the water had
run off the freeze came and made sheet OF
ice over the larger portion of the improyised
pond, making a small but ideal skating sur
face II the skater should break through.
the ice nothing more serious could happen
than wet foot, for there are but few
inches OF water under the ice.
1t Is said that good skating may be en-
ioyed at present on Four-Mile run, be-
tween this city and Alexandria.

EARNEST STRUGGLE
FOR TENNIS CUP.

NEW YORK, February 12.-Seven ma
lions promise to be represented in the
international challenge matches for the
Dwight F. Davis lawn tennis cup this
year. The list includes the American chal-
lengers and teams from France Germany,
Belgium, Sweden and Australia. These
will contest in the preliminary tournament,
and the winner of this preliminary series
will meet the English holders of the trophy.
This is the immediate news from London,
where the Britons have hailed with delight
the prospect of an American invasion OF
their courts this year. They were keen as
to the decision OF the annual meeting Of
the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association upon this point last Monday
night, and as soon as the fact was cableu
to LoTdon that challenge was assured
several of the English officials at once
wrote of their qualification to leading play

others were represented last July in the
meeting at Wimbledon. These have not
formally sent in their entries, but have ex-
pressed intention to do If the ar
rangement of a team can be decided upon
before March ] the date upon which the
challenges must be received by the Eng
lish Lawn Tennis Association. The kaiser
and the crown prince OF Germany have
been devoted followers of the sport for
several years, and last season the kaiser
caused six fine courts to be laid out upon
property he owned In Berlin. With the
crown prince he has always been an ardent
supper der of the European internationi
meeting ct Honlburg, grazing the meeting
by his attendance each season on one day
of the tournament.
This knowledge of the nations that wilt
be represented in the International matches
will assist the American committee in ar
irving at decision as to the personnel OF
it's team. The messages from London In
dictate that there Is feeling over there
that the Americans will probably regain the
cup next July. coincidence is also in evil

ARBITRATION OF ALL DISPUTES.
Meeting at Friends Church in Inter
est of Peace.

A meeting in the interest of universal
peace and the arbitration of all disputes
between nations was held last evening at
the new Friends Church, Columbia Heights.
Mr. B. F. Trueblood, secretary of the
American Peace Society. was the CHIEF
speaker. Mr. John w. Foster presided In
a few Introductory sentences Mr.. Foster ex-
planned that the Friends sect for a long
time has had sort of patent right to the
idea of peace as regards governmental at
fairs, but that of recent years other Chris
tan denominations have been taking 1t
up. so that it is now commanding the at
tention of the world.
DIR. Trueblood pointed out how the Friends
have always taught peace. as exemplified
in Jesus Christ, and how they have advo-
Gated the plan of William Penn for an In
ternational arbitra ton court which would
go farther than that of The Hague He
declared the question of arbitration has
outstripped all other questions. including
those of labor and capital and temperance.
The speaker cited many examples OF the
good that has already been accomplished
by arbitration.
Representative ]. J.. Slayden of Texas
was introduced as member Of the Inter-
parliamentary Peace Union. He spoke Of
the good that might be accomplished
through universal arbitration.
Mr. Foster next presented Mr.. Jackson
H. Ralston. saying that the latter had had

Hague tribunal a greater honor than
pleading before the United States Supreme
Court" Mr.. Ralston stated that the ac-
ton of this country and Mexico had pre-
vented the court at The Hague from falling
into oblivion. He believed that every class
of questions could be submitted to arbitra-
ton and amicably adjusted.
Yesterday was the first Sunday In the
history of the new church Of the Friends,
Columbia Heights
In the morning Dr. Trueblood preached
sermon on the Authority for Religion"
THE authority of the church was once
considered supreme. but can no longer
-be considered as flnal," he said. "The
authority of the Bible must be fully rec
ognized. but care should be taken lest
We regard the letter rather than the spirit,
lest we be led into bibliolatry. TIL In
speaking voice of God nthe soul Is of the
utmost importance in determining our re-
ligtous duties. and yet man should wisely
discriminate the various voices and lead
ings lest he be led into ranterlsm and fan
atheism"

HARVARD TO BREAK
WITH PENNSYLVANIA.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, February 10.-That Har-
ward is determined to break with PeHnsyl-
vanIa was amply demonstrated when the
base ball management announced that the
varsity letter "H'' would not be given the
members of the Harvard team who played
in the series with Pennsylvania this spring.
Harvard has recognized Pennsylvania as
a member of the big four for more than
ten years and also as worthy rival. In
track, foot ball and base ball she has hon
ored Pennsylvania with H" contesting
with the Quakers. but now the varsity men
will not be given their priced letter and
Pennsylvania has been reegated to the
class occupied by Brown, Dartmouth, Holy
Cross and other minor colleges in the east.
In making up the schedule for this year
Harvard gives two games to Princeton for
the first time in many years. Yale has
two and Dartmouth, Brown. Holy Cross
and Penn have been favored likewise. In
case of a tie in the Yale series the third
game will be played in New York The
West Point cadets will not be found on
Harvard's schedule on account of the
change in the southern trip. This trip will
land Harvard at Richmond, Va, where all
the games will be played. barring that with
Annapolis. which will be on the Middies'
own diamond at Annapolis.

That Jockey Wishard was not suspended

marked in their record books next time .
In his next race this horse was backed
for thousands of dollars by all the wise
turfmen at Saratoga. and he won.

the best form here this winter are young
sters by Albert Both are owned by W. II.

Bertmont has won three races and purses

which were worth 81 ,235 to her owner. Like
most of the progeny of Albert. these young
sters have plenty OF speed, but. strange 20
say, Bertmont possesses stamina as well.
In former years the sons and daughters OF
Albert have been noted for their extreme
speed, but few o. them could maintain
fast clip in long race.
The next most successful sire OF two
year-olds is Cesarion. This one-time speedy
horse has six youngsters that have won

COUNT BoNI's DEBTS
Estimated at 100000 Franc
Some of His Extravaeances.

Conservative estimates by Paris parties
place the debts of Count Boni de Castellane
at 100000 francs, Of which eight mil
lions are said to be due to jewelers.. He is
also heavily indebted to moneylenders.
As showing his picturesque and monu-
mental extravagances and his method of
borrowing" 1t Is related that he ordered
fur coat costing 100000 francs. When
the coat was delivered there were 10000
francs in a pocket. However. this method
of borrowing from trades people is prac-
ticed by many Partisan aristocrats.
A vicomtesse whose name has been men,
toned in connection with the counts. said
before the scandal was disclosed, and while
praising his amiability: Just fancy, Boni
dined at my home only few times. and
now he sends me pearl necklace worth
a hundred thousand francs"
Count Boni In paying bills always scorned
to accept change. HIS generous tips en-
riched scores of lacaeys In Paris.
