WHITE MAN AND COLORED
WOMAN FINED.

The attention OF Lieutenant Belts
was directed late last night to cries OF
distress from a colored woman named
Maggie Stanley, in house 10 the
northeastern section of the city, and
upon investigation tho woman told the
lieutenant that she had been assaulted
by a negro named Isaac Gibson. A
white man, who gave his name as Her.
bert Warren, was found in the house,
and the latter and Gibson we're arrest
ed. This morning in. the Police Court
it developed that Warren, who lives in
Washington, and the woman who is
also from that city, had been living to-
gether and that the white man had
followed her to Alexandra. Warren
in his statement said that he came here
Friday and upon being taken sick went
to the Stanley woman's house for the
purpose of remaining there until this
morning. Gibson denied having as
saulted the woman. The white man
and the woman were fined So each for
improper conduct and Gibson was dis

Detroit and Pittsburs Rooters Do Not
Appreciate Cobb and Wagner.
1t is strange. but true, that two Of
the greatest ball players the game has
ever known are not appreciated In
their own cities. Neither Cobb nor
Wagner is popular with the home
fans, and the abuse showered on Cobb
by Detroit fans the other day was 80
severe that Cobb quit game and ex-
pressed himself as anxious to get
away from the Tigers, For several
years the hardest place for Hans Wag-
ner to play has been in Pittsburg. Ev-
cry time he fails to hit on the home
grounds he is jeered, and if he hap
pens to make an error there IS a genu-
inc uprising Of the fans. One would
naturally suppose that players of the
remarkable ability OF Cobb and Wag-
ner would be idols at home, and yet
they are anything but that. In that
respect Washington crowds differ
greatly from those in other cities. Pa
irons of the game in the Capital City
are most appreciative. 1t was notice
able in recent game there when the
Athletics were pounding Walter John
son that he was applauded every time
he stepped to the plate, where If he
had been playing in some other city
be would have been jeered.

OLD ST. ASAPH TRACK.

The St. Asaph race track, which was
an eyesore to some people during the
uineties and which brought on politi-
cal issues in Alexandria city and
county, has been almost ob6terated
from the map. A fire several months
ago swept away some of the buildings
and during the past few weeks the
remnant OF stables and other buildings
have been pulled down. This place
in bygone years was veritsble bee
hive, people from all neighboring cities
visiting the track daily, and a consider
able sum of money changing hands.
Long trains OF cars brought thousands
from Washington to the enclosure,
while sporting men from Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York were
among the daily attendants. The cleo
trio trains from this city ran at that
time to the track. A large number OF
were employed ia differ
ent capacities OF the place, while this
city was the base ct supplies. An anti
sporting fever however, broke out
shortly after the track was put in sue
cessful operation and acts we're passed
by the Legislature of Virginia which
made it misdemeanor to conduct
harse racing in the state. Arrests were
subsequently, made OF certain parties
alleged to have violated the laws and
after considerable legal battling the
place was eventually closed. The track
at Alexander's Island was also closed
and sports OF the turf became thirg

VIVA FINISHES FOURTH
Alexandra Boat Fails to Come up
to Expectation---Dixie
Nv Wins
Especial to the Gazette.)

/. *
Huntington Bay, New York, Sept. S.
Watch today 8 races. Viva has every
thing here beaten but has been unable
to open up op account of the rough
weather. Today is much smoother and
it is expected Viva will show what she
can do.
Huntington, L. l., Sept. 5.-In a
decidedly one-sided race Dixie ", q
400-horse-power hydroplane OF the
most pronounced type, yesterday won
the first OF the series Of motorboat
races between England and the United
States for the worlds championship
trophy, known as the Harmsworth
cup.
The Dixie never once showed her
maximum speed in the four rounds
OF the triangular course Of about 80
miles in Huntington Bay. She easily
distanced the greatly-feared Pioneer
owned by the Duke Of Westminster,
a 40O-horsepownr boat, beating the
Englishman by SO seconds.
Or the three English and three
American boats only four finished,
and three of them we're Americans.
The Disturber II, Of the American
teams, trailed the English Pioneer
across the finish line 4 minutes and 81
seconds behind, being followed in turn
in 13 minutes seconds by the Viva,
of the American trio.
The Dixie's average time was 35. Oh
knots an hour; that Of the Pioneer
34.45. knots; that OF the Disturber,
1881, and that of the Viva 1897
knots.
The 720-horsepoWer English boat
Maple Leaf III broke her steering gear
when near the 6nish of the second
round, and when the boat had gone
about IA miles. Ia dropping out the
Maple Leap called a tow and was towed
to her anchorage.
This is a nautical sin-to call for help
and the International Committee
not only ruled out the Maple Leaf from
Yesterdays race, but barred her from
competing in any other of the contests
in this championship series.
A similar fate befell the British Tyre
less. In the third round the Tyreless,
apparently seeing that she was hope
lessly distanced, dropped out OF the
contest after having covered only about
Is miles. This is not permitted under
the rules, and the International Com
nittee issued ban on theTyreless COM
peting in the other races of the series
for the Harmsworth trophy.
This leaves only the Pioneer to COM
pete as challenger for the cup against
the three Americans.
The second race will be held today
and il one OF the Americans wins, the
cup will remain in the United States
another year at least. Ii the Pioneer
should win today third sud deciding
race must be run on Wednesday.
Until yesterdays race was on for 10
minutes the American hopes we're not
high. It vas only at the last moment
that the Viva and the Disturber II were
selected.
As soon as the first round OF the race
vas made it was seen that the Dixie had
her own way, and that only an accident
could take it from her. The Dixie
held herself from half to a mile OF
the Pioneer throughout and doubtless
could have increased her lead at any
time.
Noel Robbings, who had charge OF
the Duke Of Westminster craft, re-
fused to give any public reason for the
Pioneers failure to live up to the repu-
tation she brought over.
