Capt. Dug Merchant, of the Cardi-
nails, will have the same line up as
last Sunday, who, until the rain

ing great game against the. crack
Anacostia ball team, the score being
8 to 0 in the Cardinals favor.
The outfeld in the Cardinal A.
Baseball Park has been filled
in and graded duringf the past week
and seats will be erected along the
first and third base lines if the fans
will attend the games and give the
home team their support. The club

Flight Postponed Until
Slight Changes Are
Made in Machinery.
NAVAL EXPERTS HERE.
IF Machine is Success, Company
Will Manufacture Large Number at
Old Pioneer Mills.

No attempt was made today to ny
the big Richardson hydro-aeroplane'
the largest machine of the kind ever
constructed, which lies in the water
in front of the old Pioneer Mills at
the foot of Duke street.
Hundreds y. Alexandrians who
had expected to witness the hrst
flight gathered on the wharves and
river front at an early hour this
morning but were disappointed, as
the machine was not even started.
Machinists were busy working on the
engines and representatives OF the
navy department of Washington went
over the mechanism. At their sug-
gestion certain changes were made,
and shortly after IL o'clock, A. 5.
Richardson, of Lowell, Mass, the
builder of the machine, stated that
there would be no attempts to fly
today. He said that the engines
would in all probability be given a
try out late this afternoon, but that
no attempt would be made to use
the ascending planes to take the
ship from the surface of the water.
The navy department was repre-
.sented today by Lieut.. Commander f.
R. McCreery, of the Washington
navy yard, and Lieut. H. c. Richard
son, of the United States Navy.
It was announced that if the ma
chine was successful in carrying out
the hopes of the inventor, the inven-
ton would first be offered to the
United States government, and in
case it was accepted, work would be
Immediately started on the construc-
ton of a large number of the ma
chimes. A company has been organ
lied to be known as the Spanish
American Trading Comapny, which
will build the machines. The capital
has all been subscribed and the plant
for the manufacture of the machines
will be located Sin Alexandria, an
option having been secured on the old
Pioneer Mills, which was reconstruct
cd into modern factory building
by the Emerson Engine Company
The building is admirably fitted for
the purpose for which it would be
used by the new company.
Among those interested in the
company is Leon Rasst, who is, con-
nected with the Russian Embassy in
Washington. Mr.. Rasst was for 19
years the Russian CONSUL at Puebla
Mexico. Anotehr Interested specta-
tor at today's inspection was Miss

PROUD OF PRETTY SINGER
Miss Estelle Wentworth, of This
City, is Prima Donna.

4 Gardner Mack, writing in the Wash
iington Times, says:
| "There is tendency on the part
of the people of city like Washing.
ton to cody pin on its own fair re
| putation streamer of fame that be-
longs to another community, the
while giving the title Of the really
famous place to the writers of to.
pical songs and vaudeville jokesmiths
so that they can poke fun at it.
Every city that plays No. ! musical
comedy organizations and big time
vaudeville has some nearby villag5
upon which it permits comedians to
vent their spleen.
"For many years Alexandria, Va,
has been the particular locality about
which Washingtonians delight to joke
Overlooking the fact that Alexandria
was the principal seaport of the At
lantic coast when the Dutch were still
haggling with the Indians over the
title to Manhattan Island, and thai
it's output of manufactures far ex-
ceeded that of District of Columbia
for many years-there are some
things which Washington claims az
its own and takes much pride in, that
really and truly belong to Alexan-
dria.
"For instance, there is EStelle
Wentworth, operate prima donna,
who has come back to America after
gaining much renown in Europe, and
who is appearing here for short
season with the Aborn. company.
There is a tradition, dating from the
time Miss Wentworth first came into
fame as a singer-which hasn't been
so long ago, as a matter of fact
that she was daughter of the Dis
trict, and local pride was considerably
inflated thereby because Miss Went
worth is the sort of singer that
any locality could be proud of with
out the slightest exaggeration of its
sense of pride. Miss Wentworth, how
ever, is not daughter of the Dis
trict Her family comes from Alex
andria, and most of it still lives
there!
Miss Wentworth, by the way, is one
some degree of optimism on the war
some degree ofo ptimism. on the war
situation. 1t requires considerably
more optimism For her use on this
occasion than would be required for
almost any other American singer.
At. the present time in the town oi
Frieberg, Germany, there is stored
away practically every earthly pos
session of Miss Wentworth. Like
wise, there is perfectly good con-
tract to sing at the Charlottenbure
Opera House, Berlin, for: last sea-
son, which she was unable to keep
because of the war. Also there was a
career as a prima donna! for thep asst
five years in Frieberg and: other cit
les, which has been more or less per-
manently damaged by reason of the
war. Therefore, it requires more or
less ironbound, 90 per cent pure
optimism, for Miss Wentworth to
contemplate the war than most per-
sons. But she has it.
'I believe the war is to be Il great
thing for American singers and mu.
sicians generally" she told me one
day between rehearsals at the Ma:
tional. "This is especially true since
Italy has joined the allies. There
will be fewer singers here from Eu-
rope. And if we are to have any
opera at all next year, Americans
must provide it themselves"
