had been announced that Rev. n. N. Cou-
den. chaplain OF the House. would address
the club, and as consequence there were
large number of guests. Mr.. Couden's
topic was wit and Humor." For nearly
an hour he held the closest attention OF his
audience. A violin solo was given by Miss
Mamie Daugherty. with her sister as ac-
companist. Miss Newlands contributed

LITTLE FAITH IN
LOU DILLON DRUG STORY.

Sporting men are inclined to put little
faith in the Smathers-B Billings drug story.
II there was anything wrong with Lou
Dillon when Maj. Delmar beat her for the
gold cup, the officials who presided over
the affair must have been guilty of both In
competency and blindness. To bring charges
of wrongdoing against anybody sixteen
months after the race seems rather strange
to men identified with either branch of the
turf The fact that Smathers lost 100000
from the time he purchased McChesney and
later secured a stable of high-class run
ners until he retired from the running
turf, together with his present standing
with the jockey club, would seem to In
dictate that he not the kind of a man who
would stoop to such job as the Lou
Dillon case, according to the statements
Of irresponsible persons, appears to nave
been.

Intercity Bouts,

When the Eureka Athletic Club of Balh-
more arranged the three ten-round bouts
booked for it's regular meeting next Friday
night it evidently struck popular vein. II
the interest manifested in the affair Is d
criterion. The fact that the bouts are in
tercity affairs naturally attracts more than
the usual amount of attention. There Is
no doubt that three matches, each OF ten
rounds duration, are more attractive than
a main bout, with a number of indifferent
preliminaries. Joe Tipman OF Baltimore
will hook up with the clever and hard-hit-
ting Tommy Lowe of this city. Harry

To increase Batting.

An Occasional Fam makes the following
suggestions to the rules committee to In
crease batting:
I'm order that we. the public. may see
more batting and base running. and as
substitute to the adjustment OF the foul
strike rule. let me suggest the enlargement
OF the field territory for fair balls' by
widening the foul lines. Let the foul lines
be drawn from the center of the home plate
so as to pass in straight line about two
feet outside OF first and third bases. thus
giving larger territory to be covered by
the infield and outf1eld, and thus increasing
the chances of the batter making hit. 1t
seems to me that this would accomplish
what the public Is demanding without han
dfcapping the pitcher"

WHITE HOUSE WEDDINGS.

1 The marriage of Miss Alice Roosevelt to Congressman Longworth next month will be the first wedding that has been | solemnized in the Executive Mansion in nearly 20 years. According to the usual reckoning it will be the 10th in num- Der, the nine preceding it being.
 Miss Todd cousin of Dolly Madi- son, to Congressman John G. Jackson of Virginia.
 President Monroe's daughter Marie to Samuel L. Gouverneur of New York. Miss Helen Jaskson and John Adams. son of the President.
 Miss Lewis of Tennessee, to M. Pageot French secretary of legation. Miss Eastern President Jackson's s niece, to MT. Polk of TerSlessee. President Tyler's third daughter to William Waller.
 Nellie Grant daughter of President Grant to Algernon Sartoris of Eng land
 Emily Platt, niece of Mrs. Hayes, to Gen. Russell Hastings. Frances Folsom to President Cleve- land.
 
 Three of the nine weddings only have attracted degree of public interest comparable to that certain to attend Miss Roosevelts. Miss Tylers drew eclat from social as we'll as official com ditions. Miss Grants had an inter- national significance. She had been the especial pet of the White House, as scarcely anyone before or since has been, and her father was believed averse to the match. MT. Cleveland was the first President to be married In the White House, and the charm of his young fiancee had won the hearts of her countrymen and country woman at long range, but in social sense the marriage of Miss Roosevelt is likely to be the most brilliant we'd ding ever known to the White House.

 Another Englishman-why is it al-
 ways an Englishman to whom these original and courageous tastes are at- tributed?- an Englishman averred that boa constrictor properly cooked was better than the best veal being nearly breast. And yet the boa constructor has no mercy on the calf. This recalls some curious and cruel customs of our English forefathers, who killed animals by slow and terrifyiny processes, in order that their flesh should be made tender by muscular agony and mental 1 distress. It is probable that the strug- gles of a creature slowly killed by tor ture soften its muscles. The flesh of hunted hare is more tender than the flesh of a hare shot unawares.
 Bulls were baited with dogs, not so much for the barbarous pleasure of witnessing brutal conflicts as for the interation of the beef, which would have been less eatable had the animals been killed quickly with a knife and bludgeon. While batting was still sanctioned in England as a wholesome culinary process, our ancestors inten- erated pigs by whipping them to death a treatment that produces the requisite bodily convulsions and mental distress in the dying animals.

 In our own country while there are no cities given to making a speciality of cookery and epicurean dishes like lark tongues and other great dishes of the Lueullian feasts in old Rome yet ther are two cities noted for a great variety of special dishes or food that can be obtained readily in any other section of the Union. These are Balti- more and New Oreleans.
 Lunching with the Hon. William Pinkney Whyte at the Belvidere, the topic turned upon the old time Balti- more oyster roasts and how they were enjoyed, says a writer in the New Ore leans Times-Democrat. First, drink of hot Scotch whiskey then the roast oysters, followed by a glass of old English ale. MT. Whyte said the price of drink of whiskey in the olden dayes was a "hp" (6A cents), and very fine mixed drinks a "levy" Q2la cents)
 Just at present oyster roasts are the order of the day, and there is not a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon that the shores of Patapsco are not ablaze with the fire of oyster roasters There is the huge fire at the waters edge, the canoe or pungy full of cyst CTS riding at anchor, the hot coffee, the slaugh and the inevitable keg of beer, while al l grow mellow under the in- huence of the seductive bivalve.
