Exposition at Denver.

Extensive and elaborate preparations
have been under way since last fall for
holding the second annual Colorado
Inter- State Fair and Exposition, which
will take place on the permanent
grounds of the institution at Overland
Park, Denver, the coming September
~ to Is, inclusive. G. c. Fuller. the
secretary of the Exposition, advises
there will be liberal prizes offered for
exhibits of the product of every in
dustry, for the purpose of encouraging
their growth. development and i'm
provement, and that the fair of this
year promises to equal if not eclipse
the most successful of similar exhibi-
tions held throughout the middle and
eastern states. The premium list will
be ready for distribution the latter
part of May, and copies of same may
be had by addressing MIR. Fuller at
Denver.
Exhibitions of this character, where
ever held, reach and benefit every
avenue of industrial life, and are insti-
tutions to be fostered ond encouraged.
That they are accomplishing great
deal of good in an educational way, as
wellas interesting investors in Colorado
propositions, and attracting immigra-
tion to the State, will be appreciated
by visit to any of them; registry
kept at one of the exhibits at the Den
yer fair last year showing visitors from
every state in the Union, except six.
and from nearly every foreign country.

Lieut.. McCurdy of the Analostans was
happy last week over his deservedly ac-
quired promotion in the service of Post
master Barnes.
Among the latest to get the single scull
buzz into his head is Lieut.. Rob Roy
Slocum of the Potomacs, the most eff
cient coxswain the club ever possessed in
its ranks. Lieut.. Slocum is Cornell &c.
and was one Of Courtney's proteges, and
believes he is good enough TO get into the
front ranks Of the scullers.
In case the Potomacs arrange a race
with the Naval Academy, Capt. Mueller
will order the men out for an early start,
as the date for the meeting will be la te
in April or the first part of May. There
will be a lively fight for seats in the
boats. and among the candidates will be
Messrs- Ellis. Spransy. Capt Mueller.
Bliss, Wallace Miller, Thrall, Morse. Rich
ray. Bullough. Smith, Frank Miller. Cor
man, DAILY. Bell, Herman, Davis and
Cave, with Lieut.. Slocum and Randolph
as coxswain. 1t may be that two crews
will 60 down to meet the first and Sec
ond ones of Annapolis.
The decision of the Potomacs not to
make a fight for the National regatta will
help the cause of Baltimore along In its
bid for the Middle States.
With Washington out of the running
for the National regatta, there is a strong
likelihood that the New England Assoc
citation will try and have 1T held at Bos-
ton. AS it was held in Springfield last
year, the chances are that the lively and
hustling Schuylkill Navy boys will agree
to hold it under their auspices, and they
can have it for the asking.
The annual election Of officers of the An
alostans takes place in March, while the
Potomacs hold theirs in April, and from
talk INDUCED in there is going to be
some lively electioneering in both organi-
cations for the float offices.
George Herman of the Potomacs has re-
turned to the city from Boston, where he
went to visit his folks and the scenes or
his Younger days.

from the start but finished strong and

The BIoomingdales first sprang into

Trick lit is often a nice question to
decide whether to play the long game
at the outset OF a hand or not While
II is not possible to give any hard-and-
fast rule as to how much strength the
leader should hold in order to play for
his long suit with reasonable prospect
OF winning. 1t is safe to say that the
expectation of bringing In a long suit
is very much below par unless the leader
holds either; FIVE trumps; four trumps
and a sure card of entry; three trumps

two cards of entry. Or, in other words
five trumps or their value-counting each
card of entry as an extra trump. AS

The Bloomingdale Athletic Club was Or
ganized May II, 1902. by Nathaniel T.
Morley. the present president of the or
ganization, and during the past seven
years the club has made an enviable
record on the diamond. gridiron and Gin
der path. Its athletes are numbered
carried the red and black colors to nearly
every meet held in this section for the
past few years.
The club was originally organized for
base ball only, and was the outgrowth Of
team Of youngsters who represented the
lexington School in 1900 and 1901. Young
Worley. finding it necessary to stop school
and go to work, conceived the idea of
making a permanent organization and
continuing to play together throughout
the year. His plan met with instant ap-
prevail and starting with nearly a dozen
members, the club has now a membership
list of over fifty.
The Bloomingdales are a club with a
future, and many have wondered how the
club boys could stick together so we'll.
but the secret of their success is not a
hard one to find. and it all lies in the
fact that the club was organized for
pleasure and the members are drawn from
the best boys in Bloomingdale. sport
for sports sake" is their motto, and as
the president of the club puts it, tits
better to run a hard race and lose than
not to run at ALL" The club members
range from eighteen to twenty-five years
of age.
Good Record.
The Bloomngdales have fondness for
base ball which has never been lost sight
Of, and that sport has always dominated
the organization. They satisfied them
selves with playing Independent ball for
several years. The first year of its organ
ization, the base ball team had a record
of thirty-nine games played and only two
lost. In 1908, after defeating nearly all
of the sixteen-year-old teams of the city,
they were defeated in a post-season Sc
ries by the Athletic Stars of Northwest
Washington. The Bloomingdales won the
pennant of the Four-Eye League for three
years in succession. In 1904 the club
played tifty-siX games, being victorious
in all but six. two of which were tie
games. During the season Of 1905, their
record was fifty-seven games played, forty
victories. thirteen defeats and four ties
In 1905 their record was about the same
as 1905. In 1907 they joined the Independ-
ence League and finished fourth after one
of the hardest races in the history of local
base ball. In the spring of 1908 Manager
Worley obtained franchise in the Capt.
tai City League and surprised his friends
and the base ball public at large by en-

In justice to the Corcoran Cadet quint
Of the Military League. which received
quite drubbing from the hands OF the
Annapolis five last Saturday, it can fully
be accounted for, as the Cadet team was
severely weakened, owing to the absence
of two OF its star players. Mccarthy and
Casassa. who were unable to represent
their team In this game on account Of ILL
ness. This forced Capt. Edwards to shift
his team considerably. and play Bontz,
a forward. i'll center a position he was
very slightly acquainted with. BontZ is
somewhat short in stature and played
against a man twice his height. in Doug
lass, the Navy center, who had little diff
ficulty in having his own way with the
ball on the toss-up at the center station.
In spite of the fact that the team was
greatly weakened, Capt. Edwards played
his men rather than cancel the game
with the Middies, and that this act OF
courtesy was very much appreciated is
proven by the fact that the Naval Acad-
envy basket ball management scheduled
a game between these two teams next
season.
Things seem to be somewhat quiet in
basket ball circles in the Washington
City League at this writing. except in
class &C" where q keen fight is taking
place for first honors. The idea Of ar
ranging class 3D. league is fast dying
out owing 10 the fact that teams capable
Of composing this section are exceedingly
scarce IN the District.

Both. they will meet the Baltimore Cross
Country Club in a match race; in the
George Washington games. the 18th OF
February. they race the strong Advent
Athletic Club. and in the federal games

ably be picked from Turner. Hennig,
Worley. Hammett and White The
Bloomingdale Junior team has held the
championship for teams of that class for
the last few years, and will defend its
title again this year.
The foot ball team has always been a
good one. its best record being made in
1907. when, out of fifteen games played
it won nearly half although in every
game outweighed by at least five pounds
to the man. For this reason the Bloom
ingdales did not have team in 1903, and
do not expect to have one the coming
season, as their team is light one and
there are not enough competing teams in
this class to pay for the hard work Incl
dent to the organizing and training of it
Members of the last team were Corridor
Nichols. Busey, White. Earnest, Emerson
Cornwell. Bean, lew, Worley, Brooks and
Walker.
Plans are now afoot to organize a bas.
ket ball team, and with this idea in view
members are scouting for suitable quar-.
tiers, as those in use at the present time
are not large enough.
Also Debaters.
The Bloomingdales leave the genera
path followed by athletic clubs by sup.
porting debating and bowling teams. Both
of these teams had a popular and sue
cessful run, but were disbanded last sea-
son owing to lack of competition. They
will be reorganized again this season in
all probability with the purpose in view
of having contests between the members
of the club. The officers for the debating
team were T. B. White. president; F.
Houck. vice president, and r. S. Temp
kins. for the years of 1905 and 1907, and
A. Redfield, president; n. T. Worley, vice
president and r. 8. Tompkins for last
year Elmer klopfer was captain Of the
bowling team. No officers have been
elected for either Of these teams for this
year. but elections to fill these vacancies
will be held in the near future.
The officers of the club for the ensuing
year are N. T. Worley, president; Thomas
B. White, vice president; William Ham
NETT, treasurer: Raymond s. Tompkins
recording secretary, and Lee L. Turner
corresponding secretary. James Fegan
has been elected captain of the base bal
team and Thomas B. White, captain OF
the track team. Mr.. Worley, the presi-
dent Is also director of athletics, and the
captains of the different teams are under
his direction.
