of the Sharon estate. It is now te center of a

TO NE OPEN SUNDAY.
Deeleieu et the Ilreete af the CalEnbn
After May 21 the world's fair grounds will be
opened every Sunday. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the directors of the
Columbian exposition yesterdlay afternoon.
President Hliginbotham had call upon Edwin
Walker, who is chairman of the committee on
legislation, to .ubmit an opinion whether or
not the exposition enn be opened on the Seventh
lay.
After considerable discussion a resolution
was proposed to open the gates every Sunday
on and after May 21. and to close the main
buildings contamning the exhibits. The resolu
tion was carried by avote of 22 to 7. Of the
seven who voted nay, six were in favor of open
ing the fair in every department. The seventh
was opposed to opening the gates under any
conditions.
The depositors in the exposition branch of
the Chemical National llank who live outside
Chacago received notice yesterday that they
would be paid the amounts due them.
A Bu.a. has been filed by John I. Lee. through

be composed of some
of the flyers who have
heretofore taken aplace
in the background so
far as cycling was con
cerne4. It is to be
known as the P. D. Q.
,Cycle Club, and its or
ganization will be per
fected at the residence
of Mr. Harry Higham,
No. 476 Vennsylvania avenue northwest. Mr.
Higham has again been made an amateur wheel
man and, although he has not been on the read
much during the recent month, he will prob
ably go in training and may surprise some of
the new men in the racing teld before the
close of the season. A large attendance of
wheelmen is requested at the first meeting of
the club, which will be held on May 29.
CITAL St. CLU.
Tomorrow on the road it will be "Capt."
Wirt or "Capt." Douglas, for the term of office
of Capt. Macdaniel expires tonight, when his
successor will be elected. Capt. Macdaniel has
filled the office two terms and he declined to be
a candidate for re-election, which fact the
members who go on the road regret. During
the two years he has filled the. office road rid
ing has been an interesting feature of the club's
enjoyments, and this soring the membeos have
shown renewed interest in wheeling, whieh has
resulted in discarding many old solid and sash
ion-tired wheels and substituting pneumatic
tires in their stead, so that the new captain has
bright prospects for the most successful season
in the history of the club, so far as wheeling is
concerned
Considerable interest is being manifested in
the election, which, as already stated, is to take
place this evening. The election is to be held
to fill al the offices in the club. Mr. Irving
Williamson is the only candidate for the presi
dency, anti he is therefore certain of holding
the highest office in the gift of the club during
the next twelve months. For the vice prees
denuy Mr. J. McKL Borden and Mr. F. I. Ste
phens are in the race, and the ballots will have
to decide the contest. Mr. E. B. Olds as the
only one whose name appears as candidate for
treasurer, and he will therefore handle the
club's funds.
Mr. John L. Wirt and Mr. John C. Falck are
each wiping to record the doings of the club
for twelve months, and they, too, will have to
wait until the ballots are cast In order to as
certain upon whom the honor falls. For the
captaincy Dr. W. D. Wirt and Mr. H. C. Doug
lass are in the field.
There are also to be elected four members of
the executive committee, who are to be selected
from the following members: Mr. F. H. Parsons,
Mr. W. T. Bingham, Mr. Alexander Britton, Mr.
F. W. Flowers, Mr. L. Fogg, Mr. L. L. Harban,
Mr. J. E. Lemming and Mr. H. N. Low.
The trip for tomorrow will not be determined
upon until after eletion tonight.
Last Sunday Capt. Macdaniel had a dozen
members on the last run under his charge, and
the run was one of the most enjoyable single
day tripe in the history of the club.
Occoquan Falls was the objective point, and
the trip over the rough road and through the
woods was made without an accident or a
break-down. On the outward trip the wheel
men went to Alexandria over the Jackson City
road and rode through Virginia's ancient ma
port town, crossing Hunting creek over the
old bridge. Having crossed the bridge the
iron horses sped over what is known as the
River or Mount Vernon road. A stop was
made at Pohick Church, where Gen. Washing
ton worshiped, and- after inspecting the ancient
aburch edice the wheelmen rode on as far as
Lorton. Here they eressed the railroad tracks
mad took the road around through the wild
iountry to their destination.
Through this stretch the wheelmen enjoyed
the scenery, but the road in several places was
absolutely impassable. and even the experts on
the silent steed were forced to dismount and
take to the woods. Finally they reached Oc.
.oquan Falls, where they stopped at Mr. Ham
sell's tavern and enjoyed a first-class Virginia
linner.
Mr. Hammell's family had been reading Twz
BTAn's bicycle column, and they thought that
their roads had been slandered, but, when
reasoned with by the wheelmen. they acknowl
idged that their roads were nothing of which
to be proud. and,so far as they were concerned,
they were willing to do their share toward im
p~roving the roads, which would mean a cor
responding improvement to the couutry prop
orty.
On the return trip the wheelmen followed the
-'ilroad path, which they found a little wet in
ulces, but not enough to make the trip an un
>leasant one, and home was reached before it
ras necessary to light lamps on their wheels.
Those who enjoyed the run were Capt. Mac
laniel and Mecers. Allen Boteler, Ed Olds,
Elorace Dodge. Mr. Bliehle. Joseph Leamning, J.
EcK. Borden. Dr. Hills, Dr. Wirt, Gray Doug
as and Mr. McComb.
i? or THE wA5DINGTON nOAD cLUD.
The Washington Road Club boys received a
searty welcome to "Corvey Lodge" at Four
Jorners last Saturday evening and the trip was
he most enjoyable one yet given by the club.
ZJapt. Jose arranged the trip and perfected the
Irrangements therefor more than a week be
'ore the event happened. The first squad left
iere Saturday evening, the party consisting of
Japt. Jose, Lient. Wooldridge and Messrs.
t'hornton. E. F. Brower, Landis, Newman,
31eo. A. Brower. J. M. 8. Bowle, E. 0. Bowie,
Wiggins, Espey and Demonet. On their way
>ut they met the Arlington whealmen en route
o Ashtorf. After a pleasant ride the wheelmen
rrived at the "'Lodlge" and Mr. and Mrs.
Wright, the keepers, gave them a hcarty wel
,ome and made things as pleasant as possible
'or their guests. The "Lodge" can accom
nodate thirty persons, and judging from the
welcome received by the Road Club members
he place will undoubtedly become a popular
esort for wheelmen.
There are nine acre. of fruit trees about the
"lodge," including cherries, apples, veers.
plums and grapes, and to this orchard the
wheelmen are to be admitted without any re
trictions..
A pleasant night was spent at this new re
ort and Sunday morning the second squad of
wheelmen reached there. In this party were
liesrs. It. S. Bowie, Dyer, Bennett. Gensler,An
lermon. Freaich,Clagett.Fisher, Hadger and Ron
nille. Then the two parties joined forces and
he twenty-two wheelmen aped off in the di
rection of Laurel by the way of 8pencerville.
lat Laurel they enjoyed dinner at the Herbert
Flouse and returned home over the Washington
md Blalhigore pike. Tomorrow the club will
go to Dtickey's, part of the program being for a
sumber of the members to leave here this atfter
soon and spend the night at this popular resort
in the banks of the Potomac overlooking the
pictureeque Great Falls. On the return trip
omorrow afternoon an attemot will be made to
Lower the record between Cabin John bridge
tad Georgetown.
oRonoETowN cYcLE cLUD.
Twenty-seven members of the Georgetown
Cycle Club mounted their wheels last Sunday
inorning and started up theConduit ruse,
Dickey's being.is place where then had antici
pated speniding the day. Capt. Cook had ar
rangst the trip, and had made extensive prepa
rat'ons for a big crowd and a good time at the
p~opular resort on the Virginia side of the river
wher e the name George Washington is still
reverenced. Tihe largo attendance was highly
appreciated by the captain, who was proud of
the showiug made by the club on this favorite
road. The club left Georgetown promptly at
10 o'clojck, and having plenty of time to spare,
a stop was made at Cabin John bridge, where
the pleasures of this resort were enjoyed, and
then the wheelmen started for their destination.
Arriving at the Anglers' Club house, the wheel
men learned that the water was high and the
current swift, which meant that they would be
unable to ferry across the raging waters.
The condition of the river changed their
lana, and instead of heading for Sandy Land
ng the procession of wheels turned to the
right, going over the hill In the direction of
Carroll's, which is on the Maryland side of the
river, facing the canal and the falls. Even
then the island could not be reached and the
wheelmen were deprived of a view of the falls
from the rocky citifs. The mad rush of the
waters had partially demolished the bridge and
for a boat to attempt to cross the rapids meant
certain death.
mrtals filed into the large dinin.'room of the
hotel, and it is unnecessary to batetht when
the table was left there was nothing left upon it
exet dishes and such bones as were too large
for te wheehen to put out of ight.
The party left the falls about 2-JS o'clock and
returned toward the city. A short step was
made at Cabin John, and when Georgetown was
reached the party rode across the Free bridge
and spent an hour in the city of the dead at
Arlington. returning to Georgetown by way of
the old River road.
Tomorrow morning the club will go to Ash
ton, leaving Georgetown at 9:30 and Florida
ivenue and 14th street at 10 o'clock.
CAROLL INSTITUTE CYCLEna.
Capt. Newman of the Carroll Institute Cyclers
has fully recovered from his recent injuries re
ceived in the gymnasium more than a week ago,
and last Sunday he was on the road with the
club. A run for Baltimore had been called,
but the captain feared the roads were not in
the best condition and so he changed the run
from Baltimore to Great Falls.
"Bring your bad feelings with you and have
them exchanged for a good time." was what
the eaptain gave out to the members of the
club, but judging from the good time had on
the trip the captain has concluded that bad
feelings played no part in the affair.
There was a good attendance on the run, and
tomortow the Baltimore run will be taken.
Those who find the round trip too long can re
turn home by train.
MEScURY WBEELXEN.
Capt. Frech of the Mercury Wheelmen baa
made the country runs of the club so pleasant
that the attendance is on the increase, and In
terest in club affairs also shows a decided im
provement. List Sunday the club turned out
more than a dozen members and took a pleas
ant ride. through Soldiers' Home and on the
roads in that vicinity. Thursday evening there
was also a club run. and tomorrow the club
will turn out almost its entire membership for
a country outing.
NOTES.
It is rumored that the Georgetown Cycle
Club is soon to receive a challenge for a road
race from the Allair Club. In each club there
are some members anxious to meet the other
club on the road in order that one of the clubs
may get a record during its early history.
. Ed. Terry of the Arlington Wheelmen has
recovered from the effects of his recent inju
ries received on the road, and last Sunday he
was able to be out with the club.
The Crescent Century Wheelmen have dis
banded, owing to the fact that most of the
members were connected with other clubs,
which were given the preference on club runs.
Friday. May 28. Mr. Harry Higham will con
duct a touring party over the roads between
here and Baltimore and will return onthe train.
Last Sunday the Arlington Wheelnen went
to Ashton with a large party.
Some of the local wheelmen will attend the
Itroadway cycle carnival in Baltimore next
Wednesday. The wheelmen of the monumental
city are making extensive preparations for the
event.
A number of handsome prizes have been
offered for the clubs making the best display in
line.
wEEILMEN AND SPRING CHICKEN.
Spring chicken is what every wheelman ex
pects to And on the dinner table at the other
end of the many trips that are now being made
in the country. and if he doesn't find it he is
really disappointed. although the disappoint
ment does not furnish suficient grounds for a
complete lose of appetite. Then, too, the ab
sence of fowl on the tables gives room for an
amusing chat at the expense of those who are
known to be especially fond of something good
to satisfy the inner man, and plenty of it as
well. Seldom does it happen that a club ca
tain, writing in advance for dinner, falls
mention the chicken in some way, even if it is
only in a manner to be regarded as a joke, but
he is sure to leave some ground upon whieb the
country hostelry will at least suspect what is
wanted. And as a rule the clubmen get what
they want, and for that reason it is an argu
ment in favor of country riders being members
of a club.
But it remained for one of the clubmen to
break the chicken record: in fact, he broke the
fowl itself. He got the chicken, however, and
in a manner that brought forth denunciation
on one hand and the use of a big "I" on the
other.
Along the road the wheelman was speeding
wholly unconscious of anything except the
beauties of nature, and not such beauties that
walk on two legs, when suddenly he hear4 a
flutter, a screeching noise and then a scramble:
All in a heap on the road, with his face in the
dust, the wheelman found himself, and, risi
high enough to rest on his elbow, he looke
around and there discovered the mangled
corpse of a last year's hen. The blood and
feathers had painted and decorated his wheel
In a manner that no one except a passerby en
joyed.
Spending a few minates getting fragments of
the dead fowl and feathers from his wheel, the
wheelman went forth, thinking he had been un
noticed by any person except the man in the
wagon, but such was not the case,for the iring
dower* blossoming on the hillside were betag
p lucked by two other wheelmen, who were on
ying an evening's outing, and now. when the
clubmen sit down at a country tavern, the ill
fated man always gets first pick of the chicken.
TUE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Probable Starters In the First Big Ease of
the Season.
The racing season on the big tracks will com
mence Monday, when the Brooklyn Club throws
open it. gates for a two weeks' meeting. On the
opening day the Brooklyn handicap, at ik
miles, one of the great events of the racing
year, will be run. It is probable that the field
will be composed of about a dozen starters.
The field will be about as follows:
Rancocas stable. .Lam;nlghter...1251 Simm.

Judlge Morrow has worked the distance in
L2.12, pulling up very strong and showing no
signs of fatigue. Lconawell. in 2. 1%, and
Charade accomplished the journey in 2:14.
Diablo worked the course in 2.13, and Lamp.
lighter Is reported as having done the distance
up at Jobatown in the same time. Pickpocket
baa not been given a fast trial, but trainer
Rogers believes that he will be up with the
leaders if the time is not faster than 2.08. The
trials of the M. F. Dwyer quartet have not been
made public, but persons close to Mr. Dwyer
believe that Raceland and Nomad are the best
of the four, and that the stable money will go
on one of these two. T'he race seems to be be
tween Raceland, Judge Morrow, Lamplighter
and Leonawell. Pickpocket has an excelient
chance, as has Nomad.

Second Day's Enunning of thse Hunt and
Pony Races at Denning.
The second day's running of the hunt and
pony races at the Benning track yesterday was
witnessed by a smaller crowd than on the open
ing day, although there was quite a good at
tendance. Six regular event. and a match race
of three furlongs, between Freddie Gebhard's
Rosarinm and the Monmouth County Hunt
titable's The Crow, were run. The racing was
rather tame and uninteresting, the last race of
the day, a steeplechase over the full course, be
ing finished by but one horse, Gerrina.
The winners were Bridget (Mr. Savage), even
money; Neptune (Mr. Maddux), 7 to 6; Capt.
Manning (Mr. Hoey). 7 to 10; Rosarium (Mr.
Hosy), 3 to 6; Independence Day (Mr. Mad
dux), 2 to 1; Oakwood (Mr. W. Hayes), 1 to 4,
and Q@yrpsaMr. W. Hayes), 1 to 8.
The meeting will conclude today wiih a card
of six races, two of them being steeplechases of
four miles each.
Monday afternoon a similar meeting will be
commenced at the Ivy City track under the
auspices of the Chevy Chlase Club. This meet
ing will continue two days. Monday and Tues
day, and in addition to the horses engaged at
the Banning track there will be other entries.
The Marine Baud will be in attendance, and
every effort will be made to make the meeting
the moat successful one of the kind ever hcld
here.
The first race will be called at 8 o'clock. and
the B. and 0. railroad will run special trains to
the track, returning immediatey aftr the last
race.

LOST BY A BAD THROW.
Washington Won a Game and Threw
It Away.
FOUR THOUSAND SAW IT.
Vesterday's Contest Was a Cas of "Now
Yo Have It, and Now Yea Haven't"
Other Games In Other CitIes-Notse of the
Game.
The luckiest thing about yesterday's game
was Mulvey's bid throw, which lost the gamze
to Baltimore. Although twenty-four hours
have elapsed since the contest the cranks-or
"3nthustaaste"-will all hift their hands at this
and gasp: "Wha-wha-what's that? Oh,
Whatteher saying?" Nevertheless, it was a
lucky thing.
From time immemorial Joe has been indulg
ing in the custom of making one particularly
ba:l throw each season. No one knows when it
is coming. It is just as likely to be in the
ninth with two out and the bases full of the
enemy's men, as in the first with no one on the
bags. It comes when least expected, like the
thief in the night. And when it dose appear it
is so "yellow" that it casts a shadow on the
sun.
It takes the breath away from the bleachers,
Harry Wright stops pulling his whiskers and
the red-capped boys for the moment forget to
call "peanuts and cigars." No yell goes up;
no one has wind enough in his lungs nor en
ergy In his will to raise a cry. A silent sad
ne settles a foot deep on the whole gather
ing.
Now, as Harry Wright, the genial manager
of the Phllies, knows, and as every well-posted
b ase ball enthusiast should remember, Mulvey
enacts this tragedy once a year. Last year
when he did it Harry Wrght's feelings were so
wrought upon that "Mul" was laid on the
shelf, whereat "Mul" was so east down in
spirit that he refused Washi ton's ofer to
come here, not deeming him good enough
for us. That's where genial Harry made a big
mistake. He should have kept Mulvey on
third. The agony was past. ihe deed had
been done. Thank fortune that it was over
with.
It is reflections such as these as cause re
joicing for that terable throw of yesterday.
We all know that it has been made and will not
have to live in dread of it for the rest of the
season. As the "sports" say, the game is young
yet, and a victory or two now doesn't make
much difference. Better to have that throw
now than along in September, when it may de
cide our position in the championship race. If
any one expects "Mul" to repeatsuch a play he
simply shows his base ball ignorance.
Yesterday was ladies' day, and more ladies
were present than on any previous occasion
this year. The total attendance was 3,810. Only
one day-last Monday-was it lr. It was
then 4,012. The Senators, with their innate
gallantry, have made a point of winning on la
dies' day. Just to show their fair guests how
easy it was to win the visitors were allowed to
gain a slight lead-not much, but just enough
to let them think they could win. Then the
local boys, about the seventh or the
eighth inning, were to whack out a few
singles and doubled, and were to take the game
from betore the astonished eyes of the Baiti
moreans. And every one was to enjoy a merry
laugh and. go home with a good appetite to a
late dinner. It was Capt. O'Rourkeas little
joke, and it worked to a charm-up to the de
nouiement; there it slipped a cog.
The visitors were consequently allowed to
acquire a few scores, and their sympathizers
on the bleachers were having a carnival Ho*w
they did enjoy themselves. The score was 3 to
1 in their favor. In the eighth Capt. O'Bourke
thought best to spring his little joke. Ab
cordingly directions were given out to hit.
Larkin, Farrell and Radford hit safely, and,
with Sullivan's fy to the outdeld, produced two
runs, putting the home team ahead. Singles
qy O'liourke, Wise and Larkin, with Farrell's
W to left, gave two more in the ninth, making
i score 6 to 8. Then everybody saw the joke
and laughed--Ho, ho, ho! what a merry man
this captain of ours is!" but in the terse and
elegant phraseology of a Baltimore contempo
rary:
"After a spirited uphill fight the Orioles de
feated the 1 askingtons in the last inning. The
Baltimore. won the game by nerve and persis
tency and played ball as it should be played,
never despairing of victory until the last ray of
hope is obliterated."
That's the way it seemed to the visitors. To
the - Washington people it looked as though
Mulvey tas taking pity on the visitors and gave
taem the Same out of charity for two being
out it was an easy matter to throw Kelley out
at first, instead of sending the ball ten feet
over Larkin's head. But it all depends on the
point of view whether a victory is won by
nerve and persistency or lest by inexcusable
blundering. Score:

How ridiculous to say that the high fly that

More of that kind are muffed than any kind.
When Mulvey made that throw probably
every one of the 3,810 present would have con
sented to his release, so unstable is the pinnacle
of base ball popularity. As for Mulvey, he felt
worse than any one else.
Just watch Mulvey's playing on the doming
trip. In base ball parlance he will "eat" all
balls coming his way.
The Philadelphia Press heads the account of
the game: "One of Mulvey's old time throws."
That's right, neighbor; but they don't come
often.
Manager Bernie says: "We are meeting with
reverses, but Louisville will be in the race be

The large crowd, which was mostly com
posed ot collegiea. that was present at the
base bell game at Capitol Park yesterday after
noon between Cornell and Georgetown Univer
sities, was treated to a fine exhibition of ball
playing. The visitors finally carried off the
Sonors by a score of 4 to 2, but is was only after
a great game they did so. The pitchers. Priest
and Cat mody, were in fine form, the first being
touched for onltyibree hite and striking out Ave
men, while Carmody held the Cornellisn down
to four hits and struck out eight men. The
local boye were deprived of the services of
Mike Mahoney, one of their best men, which
necessitated placing Garvey on Arst and putting
Bahen in the feld.
The game was fall of pretty plays. Each
side was credited with five errors. hut the boys
from Ithaca were more fortunate then their
opponents, as their errors were not costly,
while those of the latter were.
Georgetown took the lead in the first inning,
scoring two runs to their opponents' one.
Thus the score stood until the sixth, when
Cornell got a runner acroes the plate and tied.
In the eighth they get two more, and there
the game stood at the close.

A VOLUNTEER OEGANIST.
Her Experience In Playig In a Ceuntry
Chure" in Summer.
One rainy evening we were sitting around the
Ire talking-Kate, Nellie and L
Kate mid she "was sick and tired of giving
music lessons. and wished she had been edu
cated for a cook; cooking was a much more in
dependent and luerative profession than
teaching."
I remembered the effee and omelet Eate
had prepared for supper one Sunday evening
They were not of the style to give one much
faith in her oulnary abilities, but I had any
amount of oondene in her maical talents,
so I inquired "why she didn't get a position as
organist in some church," and was greeted by
peels of laughter from the Iters.
After awhile, Kate's amerrimet having enb
sided, she condescended to explain its ease.
You remsember, she said, that a few years
ago we went to the mountains of Virginia for
the month of July; the same summer you teck
that trip to Honolulu, you know. In the let
adjoining our boarding place stood a
little gray stone church, built lreythibug
the untiring efforts of our lad and his
wife, who, of course felt a strong in
terest and quasi-proprietorship in the maelf
edifice.
The Sunday after our arrival was a typical
July day. I would most cheerfuUy have fore
gone the morning service, but mamma, eam
vinced that my heathenism was growing apace,
insisted that chutoh-going was the proper order
of the day. So I went.
One thing during the service especially struok
me (I was too hot to be impressed by anyting
else), and that was that in addition to his usua
duties it was hard lines for an unsongful clergy
man to have to start the hymns n
when a nice little melodeon was on hand. A
after church, learning that the o was at
the sa shore for a few weeks and that that was
the cause of the uncertain quantity (and quality)
of the music. I rashly ogered my services to
manipulate the instrument (of torture, I was
about to say) the following Sunday.
They (my services) were quite gleefully so
cepted. and during the week the key of the
church was intrusted to me, that I might be
come acquainted with the melodeon.
Up to that time mny dealings with musical in
struments had limted themselves to pianos,
but this being a smaller afhir I anticipated but
little resistance from it and was quite
to And how hard it was to keep mybmnin
fingers and feet all "on the mor."
At intervals I did not quite aeeemplish this,
and the conuent expiring squeaks of that
melodeon male me siver and Nei predict
dire catastrophes for the coming Sunday.
Nothing that she pr ophsed, however, at al
approached the real th in harrowinegas.
Friday even the choir met with ma to
practice. = to instruction from them
I had learned a three-sharp venite, whish we
all felt to be very fin.
The leader, however, was kept at home by a
threatened quinmy (on Sunday I was ---
to wish it had really eoAne instead iJuist
threatening to). and without bar the girs ware
afraid to attempt that particular venate, so we
rehearsed another in its stead, worked a
benedictas and some hymns quite ,
and when we dispersed I had the m
feeling that say rash er of help would tarn
out better than for the last few days I had
thought pom.b, and went home much re
lieved. bunday was as a warm day as aight
have been expected. but best seldom kept the
people in that vicinity from attending to their
religious duties, so the litle church was as weli
filled as usual.
Owing to the inexperience of the melodeen
let" no processional, recessional or ofertery
were to be attempted. so the veits was the
first thing in my progra, and when its time
came I began quite boldly, cheered by
that the leader's sore throat being bet
b e , though late was Ceming up the arch
aisle to take her acoustemed piae.
Just as she joined as she started the anthm.
the choir followed her lead, and-the most
frightful discords ensued.
The %ones of that melodeon were like age
ited groans and shriek, of a lost sol and I,
wirnwing to go backward -r foa orin
any 'don to get "in" with the singers, felt
like one myself.
Of course, you know what had hped; I
didn't 'til we were neerly though. Tileader
had begun that three-hapvenits we had de
cided not to have, and I was playing the one we
had rehearsed, in three fiats, Ithink It was.
My family locked ptyingly at ame. Thsy
were muck mortified (ou needn't attempt to
deny It. Nellie, for you were), and as for mee.
if the earth had lopened to receiv, me I aheuld
have felt thankful.
After that brillint opening you can imagine
how gleefully I awaited my next encounter
with the instrument, The rest of the music,
however, went very well, and as the choir most
courteously and truthfully told what had be
fallen that first anthem I did not have the
obloquy of such a mess to endure, and when
the service was a thing of the past mny spirits
revived.
By the next Sunday it was decided tht an
offertory would enhance the beenty of the
services, and when the eheir wanted a "...loa.."
solo" I selected-you know that eleventh No
turne of Chopin's, don't you? the one with the
beautiful cathedraly chords? Well, I took a
small, a very samall portion of that and worked
it up. When I was jast in the middle of it and
simply could not expedte matters, theuse,
or whatever you calthe plate handers, amanhd
their work and cheerfully ambled up the aile
to retore the plates to the clrya. For at
least two minutes I plyed ahaslew, solemn
chords, that I lonedto tern into a jig, delay
ing the service, and expiating, Ilam sure, by
my anguish of mind. many sins patand to
come: then the piefle and the oreacme to an
end.
The next Sunday, an offertory being desired,
I took another scrap ot another nocturne, a
shorter scrap, and I played it faster, mash
faster.
In my desire notto be left bhindlIbagna it
without giving the elergyaman time to may "Let
your light so shine before amen," or anything
else, as he handed the plates to the ushers, who
had, I am sure, been warned to go elow; and I
raced through it.
When I bad triumphantly thumped my last
chord, I looked up-"the ushers, where were
they?" About halway through their work;
and to fill the awful pause that ensued before
they were entirely through it, the minister read
not only "Let your light so shine." butt, I
shoqld thinst, a whole chapter bese.
The~ next Sunday we were homne; and the ex
porlence I had them with church msie, mny
friend, has made me resolve to eschew it in
future. "Why. eveni row," laughed Kate "my
had dreams always take the form of strugles
