While the work that Judge Oyster did while In the stand at Alexander Island wai at time3 ery rank, he at least knew bow to place the horses at the finish. This Is more tl.au tne officials who are now. In charge' know, as was shown by yesterday's work. in two races, the second and fifth, mis takes were, made that were positively in excusable. Frank R. Ilarf was the first instance, h" liuUhing a good second to Tancred, but the place was given to Wal cott and Hart was placid third. The other mistake occurred when The Clown was given third money In the lifta race. Si beria to all appearances looked to be a good third. It Is hard enough for the public to pick the winners at any time, but their chances of cashing grow very slim when they are forced to accept bum decisions in two races in one day. TWO OUT OF FIVE. But for the error In placing Siberia fourth the DKie stable would have lauded every one of tbelr entries inside of the money. They had five on the cara and out of the lot tiad two winners placid to their credit and two of the others got second money. They beat Fa gin yesterday, Florrle being thu one to do the trick. Filzsimmons rode u grand raie on 1'agin, but the heavy Impost of 132 pounds that he was asked to carry told on him at the finish, and the two-year-old won cleverly by u good half length. Jaik White was given a pretty rough deal by Andrews, who rode 1'artueuia in the closing race. White backed the filly for a big wad of money, forcing the price from ten to one down to fours. While the horses were at the post Andrews de liberately allowed her to ruti away, lie sat perfectly still, making no effort utiat eter to pull her up until she bad made the circuit of the track twice. TALENT PAItEU BADLTl. The talent did not hac a very 6oft time of it yesterday, as only twice did they succeed in cabling. The other ctcuts went to two outsiders and a'second and a third choice. The opening race furnished a good belting event, with Milton cloving a slight favor ite at 5 to 2. He took up the running as the field swung Into the hlretch and at the end was an easy winner by four lengths from Kodney, who beat Treanna a neck. The handicapiicrs grabbed at the 7 to 10 the pendllers chalked up against Tancred, when the betting first opined, and forced the price to 1 to 2. This alternants went back to 3 to 5. 'Asburn trailed with him till he struck the far turn, where he let out a wrap, and coming into the stretch, in the- lend, landed him across the plate a length in front of Frank R. Ilarf, who beat Walcolt a good head. The Judges turned them uround, however, and gae becond money to Walcott. WAS NOT ONE, TWO, TIIKEE. Ben olio was made first choice In Uie third race, going to the post at 11 to 6. When It came to racing he was not In It, however, finishing outside ot the money. The winner turned up tn Remorse who made a runaway race of It, and won by ten lengths from India Kubber, who beat Paymaster a neck. Fagiu and Florrle received all of the support. In the fourth race. The talent couid riot go behind Arthur Worley's horse, and he closed first choice at cen money, with the two-year-old next In demand, at 8 to 5. Tlorrie took Uie lead at the I'addock gate and won driving by half a length from Fagin, with His Grace third., Imp. Samaritan was made the choice In the next race, but the best he could do was to finish among the "also rans." Humming Bird furnished the winner with Farrngut second. The closing race went to Fonce de Leon. Drizzel set the pace past the stand, where l'once assumed command and leading the rest ot the way won easily by three lengths from Valkyrie with Electro third.

Looked in Fintt-Closs Condition When lie Iteaelied Town Luit Night. Stanton Abbott, tbe EnglNh lightweight, who will meet Jack Daly on Monday night before tho Young Men's Athletlo Club, ar rived in town yesterday evening. He came direct from Providence and look in first-class condition, and he says be never felt better In his life. Abbott H at tbe stipulated weight, and feels confident that he will come oat on top. He wlllhave for his seconds John P. Dunn, the well-knownannouncer ot New York.and Jake KUralii of Baltimore. Mike J. Dolo of Newark, N. J., will act as ills Umikeeper. AMONG THE BOXEKS. "Jersey" Gordon, who Is matched to meet Pat Kaedy before tbe Voung Men's Athletic Club on January 20. has gone down to"Doc" Ray's farm on the Potomac where he will train for his battle. He will help Daly out while he Is getting ready for Abbott and then Jack will re turn the service, by putting Gordon into shape. Tom Coony, the clever little lad from Boston, who met "Tody" Banks at Dan Henrj's place' In Alexandria on Christmas night, should be given a chance to show what he can do with proper training. He demonstrated when he met Banks that he Is a game, shifty little chap, and when the short time that he had to get into condition is taken into consideration he did wonderfully well. Banks Is easily the best of the local featherweights and "was In thepink of condition when be met Cooncy. Cooney nnd Banks, or some other local lad of his weight, would make a rattling good preliminary to the Gordon-P.cady lat tie, and the Young Men's Club should get them together. Walcott Is not as backward in literary work asmlght bcsuspected.and hewlllglve Lavignca tight race for honors In tbatfield of endeavor.

W. ' 'PETEB' MArMS'ltECEPTION Tlu IrUb Chunililbu Will Have a Housing Hi-nollt ut Mndlson Square i ' Gitrdfn ToulRlit Jnlhm nnd Fltas HlmmoiiN A fain Have n Split Ath letics at Harvard Rumors bnvo been aflout for the past few days that un uKruipt will bo made to revive the L?.igJe ot American Wheelmen In the District and restore It to its old standard. Several years ago the L. A. W. In the District had a membership clow; on to 1,100, but since then the' members have dropped out, one bygone, until nowhere Is barely 100 lert in tbe league. This, It Is said, has been due to a number of tac tions In thu leugao that have always been ul War with each other and caused much dissatisfaction among tbe members ot tbe organization, with' the result as stated above. Yclerduy morning It leaked out that the officials of New York had written to a prominent local wheelman, asking him to run for the District consulship. Those in cbargu in New York believe that he can certainly be elected to the office, and urge him to take the nomination, as they believe with hint in charge that the factions ot tho old administration would become recon ciled to a great extent and the District organisation would flourish as 11 did some time ugo. The gentleman has the offer under con sideration, and the present indications are that lie. will accept tbe office. As at present constituted, the organization lacks a few members of the necessary 100 to form a consulate. It is said that Benjamin C. Williams, backed by the New York Athletic Club, will try to form a three-cornered combina tion composed ot the New YorLs, the Sev enth Kegiment A. A., and the Boston A. A., in order to fight the Amateur Athletic Union. It Is well known among New York city athletes, says the Evening Bun, that Mr. Wiillains, personally, hasfew friends among the men who direct Seventh Regiment athletics, but Seventh Regiment athletes are Identified to (mite a large extent with the New York Athletic Club, and, further more, as (he soldiers have been on very cool terms with the amateur athletic teams for several years, there is a strong proba bility that a combination may be formed in this city. While the Boston A. A. has not been in strictest accord with the Amateur Athletic Union of late, It is also true that its members as a rule do not take much stock in the New York Athletic Club, and it Is highly probable that they would refuse to enterr!nto a combination for. the purpose or fighting any one In the coming election ot the New York Athletic Club it Is n foregone comluxlon that Mr. Williams and his friends will tri umph over Mr. Bnrtrfw Weeks, who has not contributed the ginger to the present cam paign that was confidently looked for. The athletic situation is undoubtedly inter esting, and future tlcvelopuienta are well worth watching, for several men are sure to add to their experience, and in so doing they will make more or lew noise. If, Uie management carries out Its prom ises, and there seems-nothlng to fear on this score, Peter Maher's reception at the Madison Square Garden tonight, in New York, will provide oue'of the best athletic shows ever given In that city. It has been the custom in affairs of this kind for the beneficiary to box a tew tame rounds with a sparring partner at tbe wind-up. But the Irish cliamplon wanted noneof this and Insisted upon boxing three men, to show that Peter Maher "who fought Bob Fitz simmons In New Orleans and Peter Maher who will fight him in Mexico ore two dif ferent men. So he will meet Jim Hall, the Australian, now matched to fight Joe Cboynskl; Billy Woods, tbe Denver heavy weight, erstwhile sparringpartnerofCharlie Mitchell nnd Bob Fitzsimmons; and Jim Dwj-er, the Elizabeth heavy weight, ex-amateur cliamplon, who has alto traveltd with FIU. as sparring partner. It should not Ima hard task for a man who aspires to the world's championship to come off first best in these engagements. He probably will. But It will Rive the spectators a line upon Maher's so-called improvement, as each ni.tn will have a stIe different from the others. Hall is the only one of the lot likely to give Teter auy trouble. The cleverest boxer In the world. Young Griffo, will be Maher's leading man, insomuch as be bas a contract to best two lightweights,- Mike Leonard and Jim Lowery. The latter is Maher's trainer and one of the best light men Ireland hua sent forth. He gaveGrlffoa very pretty arguroentlnPlttsburgrecently.Allthe8ports ViiowLeonnrd'sstyleofboxIng.andJusthow the Beau Brummel of pugilism willfarewith the Australian is interesting the knowing ones quite as much as Maher's triple con tract There will be a numtier of exhibition bouts to sandwich between tbemaln events, Frank Erne and Ike O'Ncil Weir, the "Bel fast Spider,' being among the talent. The bag-punching competition for Arthur Lutir ley's championship medal will nave- Jimmy Handler, Kid McCoy, Frank Zimpher.Sum Tonkins, Casper Leon, and other well-known boxers. The inevitable strong man will be present In the shape of Walter Lazarus, a pupil of Prof. Attlla. So Bob Fitzsimmons and Martin Julian have bad another spilt. This time It is for keeps, so Julian says. No one seems to know the trouble, but it is to be hoped that another family skeleton is not going to drop out of the closet Of course the enemies of Fitzsimmons will have food for talk with out even taking a second look at the situa tion. It amounts to very little, however, to the conservative. Any man or woman may change a manager without detriment to themevles, and any fighter may switch his partner at any time be chooses. It Is to lie hoped tliat someone worthy will be en gaged by Fitzsimmons to look after his af fairs for bis coming battle. Itis tbe turn ing point for the, Australian and a meeting of great consequence. The separation is not likely to Interfere with the scheduled fight, as Fitzsimmons would go into the ring without an attendant sooner than miss a chance to meet Corbctt. "What have been Hie net results of Har vard's present athletic policy?" Inquires a Harvard man, and h replies to his own question as follows: , "Thellvelicst foot ball season since 18J39; four Interesting great games with Cornell, Princeton, Mich igan and Pennsylvania; plenty of minor contests; brisk class nd scrub jrames. On the other hand, relief from the extreme excitement and biieer-rtvalry of last year's Yalc-nnrvard garden freedom from the wear ami tear of Inledeolleglat'e diplomacy; escape from any idea n( exclusive arrange ments with any crncjincccptance ot the policy of giving to any great institution the advantage ot the 'most favored nation' clause when relations are renewed wilh Yale; a basis for a resumption of sports with our ancient, rival in the old spirit of friendly competition; the conviction in the public mind that Harvard is In earnest in her attempts to make athletics a sport and not a pursuit. The 'Harvard dictator' mav return to blsplow with the gratitude ot the university." Regarding the proposal to abolish Class II, "Tom" Cooper, the speedy Detroit rider, has this to say: "I do not think It will ever be done at least it ought not to be done. Class B riders are those hired at salaries by the makers ot various KindRof wheels, and all they race for are these salaries and the prizes offered at the race. These are now nothing but diamonds, bicycles, suits ot clottjes. etc. This system has done away wit r the old class of professionals who radii for- money. But if Class B is elimi nated the manufacturers can keep up in terest In fast riding only by means of pro fessional men, who will naturally follow all the tricks that such men are given to. There-are no w three Class B ram suspended by the L. A.

Only a woman cauappredate tho tortures at those diseases peculiar to bef sex. None other causes such physical sintering such mental agony. And added to this Is the knowledge that ordinary physicians give uo rebel and hold out no hopes for a recovery. Physicians, as a rule, know little about these private diseases. They seldom treat a case, and havollttle chance to study their nature. Hit. WALKER has treated thousands. The best years of his life huc been devoted to finding out the root of tho trouble and a course of treatment that would cure it. Today, he is the one physi cian In this big country who does not hesi tate to say he can and will euro auy form of female complaints.

In case racjng for money was re-established, Uicre would be more ot Uiat kind ot work done, and tbere would be less effort made to increase speed and develop faster wheels and riders. Men hired by tlrnis will ride as fast as they can to keep good positions, or get better ones with bigger salaries, but professional racing for money would merely go In for making as much money out of the races as posklble. While "Tom"' was talking a diamond flashed In his necktie, while another threw back thelight from each of bisstroug hands, but one of Uie dub boys asked, "Where are jour diamonds. Tommy?" "I left them home," was tbe reply. "Do you wantmc to carry themaround lua hat?'' Cooper will return to Chicago and then go to California, whence bo receuUy returned. He thinks California Is tbe nicest place In America to be, and says Uiat people out there treat bicyclists like princes. The following circular letter has been for warded to all delegates ot thu National Assembly of the Leagueof American Wheel men by tho '00 League Meet Club of Louis ville: "Louisville wants the 1806 meet of the L.A.W. You area delegate to theNatioiial Assembly, which meets February 18 next. You can help us get the meet and we be lieve jou will when you consider our claims and compare them with the claims of other cities for the honor. "Perhaps you were a delegate or an attendant at tbe national meet assembly held In Louisville in 1804. It you were here you will remember that the ussembly and the visitors were royally entertained. It you were not hero you, no doubt, beard of tbe manner in which the assembly was taken care ot. The wheelmen who bad that entertainment In charge are the ones now working for the league meet. At that time we had no ttiougbt of ever asking for a naUonal meet. The entertainment then was merely a sample of what can be done, and what Is done without expectatlonor thought ot the future. It is what we call plain, simple, Kentucky hospitality. "Louisville is dependent entirely upon her wheelmen and their friends to work to se cure the meet and to furnish the hospitality after tbemeetissecurcd. We haveno bicycle manufacturers here to'chfp In' liberally and boom the city, and Incidentally pat In a few licks to heip along their wheel business. Kvery manufacturer will stand an even show in Louisville. There will be no favorites to play.

"A League meet has never been held in the" South, and for that reason we believe It will be or great benefit to the National Aseembly to hold It In this section the com ing summer. We believe the meet will be the cause of bringing hundreds of members into the League. Can we not depend upon you for your vote and assistance in thecom Inc contest?" The letter is signed by men who have long been prominent In the cycling world. Thursday afternoon a largely attended meeting was held at "Nick" Engel's for the purpose or terming the Ancient and Hon orable AsioclaUon of Rejected llaseball Rooters. Great enthusiasm marked the proceedings. Judge Colium was unanimous ly elected to the exalted office of Supreme Throwdown, Dlgby Hell being chosen High Keeper of the Sacred Season Books, "Nick" EngeU Benenccnt Patriarchal Castout, and "Frank" Russell Exalted Outside Over seer of the Sublime Uleacberiei. "Charley" Gensllngcr was made High Treasurer of the I ramaculatd Nlckyouns Tass. The prime object of tbe organization is to have the salary ot the President of the United States Increased to $1,000,000 a month, when a determined effort will be made to force the president of the New York club to accept tbe position. Chicago gave a great reception to Actor Anson. "Here comes old Anse," said everybody In the gallery when tbe servant announced Mr. Adrian. Then the storm broke loose nt the top of the theater. "Ansel Anse! Anson!" was the cry of a hundred voices as soon as anybody could make out what they were saying. Then they quieted down and gave their attention to cheering nil his speeches. "8av! how he's dressed np! Don't he look swell, though?" said a man who had sat a good deal of the summer on the "bleachers." "Yes," said bis comrade, "but you would know him for all bis dude clothes. You can't disguise 'old Anse.' " At last the curtain fell and the gallery seemed to fall also. "Rahs" were mingled with cries for "Anse" and "Bring out the old man! Drive him out." But Anson only bowed his acknowledg ments from the end of the stage. So it went through every act. When the villain scene arrived at the line, "Bribe Anson! You can'tl" the "gods" said they thought so, too. "Bully for Anse!" was their way for saying so. "No. He wouldn't do a thing to you," came from the topmost seat in the bouse. But when Anson came before the certain after the third act, not even the gallery applanded. They waited in respectful silence. It Is doubtful it a stage full of after-dinner speakers would have com manded more consideration, or any at all. from that audience just at that time. But when "Cap" bowed meekly and withdrew the "bleachers" "came down" just as they did whenever he made a saving bit in the last half of the ninth inning with the score a tie and two men out and the bases full.

The almost continuous fair and balmy weaUier which has prevailed generally during the past fortnight has made out door sports possible and lovers of foot ball, players, and spectators, have taken ad vantage of it. The football game on Christ mas Day whetted Uie appetite ot the ad mirers ot tbe great sport to such an ex tent Uiat more Is demanded and more than likely the demand wUl be supplied if the weather is propitious on New Year's Day. The probable contestants will be tbe strong Columbia Athletic Club team and the Orient Athletic Club, or a picked one made up ot Uie best plajers ot the scleral local teams, making an all-Washington eleven. The latter will include a number of college plyers borne for Uie holidays. Tbe matter will be decided poslthely tomorrow. The makeup of the two teams will Insure a good contest and will un doubtedly draw out a large number ot spectators. BASKETBALL LEAGUE. Beginning wlUi Thursday evening tbe teams comprising tbe District Basketball League will take up the schedule of the second series ot games for Uie District championship. The interest In Uie game ls"constantly on tbe increase and so general Is Uie desire Jo see all the games Uiat it bas been sug- Kvsieu uiai uie icuguc icaou u uuu cen trally located, in which all teams may play off their schedule. It Is n good suggestion not only that It would Insure Uie playing ot all games, but It would give several of the teams who bae no gymnasium a place in which to get In some much-needed practice; Tbe championship contests In several cities where there are even more than one league have a common hall in which the series ot each league are played. It is more than likely that the matter will receive early consideration by the local league. At prcsenttheLight Infantry team Is some what In the lead for the championship, but as the Carroll Institute team, which comes next, is playing very strong ball, tbe lead may be cut down somewhat and the con test from now on will attract more than usual attention. NEW ATHLETIC CLUB IN THE EAST. During the past week a preliminary meet ing of a number of gentlemen, including the members of tbe Potomac Wheelmen, met ut the resideuce oT Mr. Wiesbader, of the Wheelmen, an energetic mover In the mat ttr.andlncideulallydlscussed the feasibility of organizing an active and wide-awake athletic club on Capitol UiU. "From thu Interest shown and the as surances and pledges made by substantial residents, merchants and others of that section, the club will undoubtedly be or ganized and become one of the features of the eastern part of the city. It Is pro lused to secure, temporarily, a building with rooms large enough to 6erve tbe pur poses ofa club, none tbe least of whose fea tures will be tbe gymnasium. COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB. The Christmas holiday week Is always a dull one in tbe gymnasiums ot the various clubs, and the Columbia Athletic Club is no exception to tbe rule. Tbe past week has been given up largely to thescttlin; up ot the late carnival affairs, which are each day showing up In a more favorable manner. Beginning with next week the classes for general physical training will open under the direction of Lieutenant Nolan. The excellent showing made by the C. A. C. players In the All-Washington team which played and won from tbe Columbian 'Varsity on Christmas day, and the ease with which the men got themselves together, though out of condition, makes it more than probable that the team will play a game on New Year's Day. The game will be played against either an all-Washington team, composed of some of the many college players home for tbe holidays, or with the Orient Athletic Club, still unbeaten. It is more than likely that tbe game will be with the latter team, which is at present, after the C. A. C. team, tbe strongest here. Nothing definite bas I ecu learned of tbe lutenUou of the howlers In tbe direction of Uie club championship series in ten pins, and for.the pony ball classes. The billiard and pool experts who are always In trim for contests will shortly liegin their annual club championship scries In the various classes. CARROLL LNSTITUTE ATHLETICS. Notwithstanding the numerous attrac tions ot the holiday week, tbe regular classes in the gymnasium ot Carroll Insti tute arc well attended. The intending competitors in the Insti tute championships to be held next month are taking lots of practice. Eckert has increased his distance in shop-putting several Inches. He will make a great showing and probably win theevent. "Lord" Downey, who has been laid up for a' fortnight with a sprained ankle, is getting around again and will next week take up his work on the parallel bars for the exhibition, and in basketball team prac tice. Murphy Is one of the new comers who Is developing into a geed all-around man. Collins, one of tbe heaviest men in the gymnasium, is doing some good work. Ho would make a good "nnderstander" for the pyramids. Tbe junior basketball team is still hop ing to arrange games with other Junior or reserve teams. With all the fixtures removed from" Uie floor the gymnasium Is now one of the best basketball playing fields in tl e city. The League team Is taking regular practice for Uie games in the new schedule which has its beginning during Uie coming week. The first game In the January schedule of Uie Bowling League will be played by Uie Institute team upon its own alleys with the Y. M. C. A., and It will be a great contest. LIGHT INFANTRY ATHLETICS. More than a usual amount of interest is being shown in athletics by Uie Wash ington Light Inrantry members. The re cent addition to the ranks of a number of well-known local athletes has largely been the cause of all this new Interest, nnd in order to make It more substantial and ef fective the management of tbe athletic as sociation has under consideration the holding of a local indoor .championship event, open to nil amateur clubs. It is proposed to hold tbe meet some time next month. The events open to all will be the high Jump, putting shot, pole vault ing, wrestling, sparring and bag punch ing. For each event suitable prizes will be given to winners, and probably to second men. The affair, when held, will be given on tie same excellent scale which character izes the giving of all events of whatever nature by tbe Infantry boys. Among those who will represent the In fantry Id the several events are: Royce Ifoycc and McCabc In tbe high Jump. Urigbanr Waters and Hoogb in the shot putting. Harry Lee and Ernest Scbatblrt la wrestling. Shreeve and McCabe In pole-vaulting. Lee and McQuade In sparring and bag punching. Hough and McQuade, formerly of tbe C. A. C, are getting themselves in good trim and expect to do good work for tbe Infantry this winter. Mike O'Lcary of tbe C. A. C. will Join the Infantry nnd will be a decided acquisi tion to tbe athletic ranks, and, of course, will enter the sparring contests. Prospects were never brightcrfor infantry athletics, and tbe holding of the open Indoor championships win tend largely to awaken the interest in tbe same line In other" gyms," Ooitlp Is usually an attsmpt on taa part of a contemptible m in to cooTiaoa (bo community la wh!-u ha lives Mat other peopl ar aa baa as he Is.

Incident of tlie Days YVlien Highway men Were Common. At the close of that season In wbtch. Shutcr, the Toole ot fifty years ago, first became so universally and deservedly celebrated, he was engaged for a few nights In a principal city In the Xorth ot England, says London Tit-Bits. It was In the coaching days, and it happened that tbe stage in which he went down (and in which there were only an old gen tleman and himself) was stopped by a slngla highwayman. The old gentleman pretended to be asleep, but Shuter resolved to be even with him. Accordingly, when the highway man presented his pistol and commanded Shuter to deliver his money Instantly or ha was a dead man: "Money!" returned he, with an idlotio shrug and a countenance inexpressibly va cant; "oil, lor, sir! they never trust me with any, for nuncle here always pays for me, turnpikes and all, your honor!" Upon which the highwayman gave him a few curses for his stupidity, compll. nieuted the old gentleman with a smart slap on the face to awaken him, and robbed liiru ot every shilling lie had In his pocket, while Shutcr, who did not low a single farth ing, with great satisfaction and merriment, pursued his journey, laughing heartily a bis fellow traveler. y . . . i Olymplo Games at Athens.
