club is a gentlemanly lot who know what
good cricket is, and as this is the first
time that Brussels has scored a victory
over this club they must not be surprised
if we take it as n presage of what is likely
to follow. Tho home eleven is in good

the District buildings were closed, and
as a rule, private business was susp0nd-
ed.
Tho ox800100s attending the decoration
of the 22,000 soldiors' graves in this vi-
cinity were 00udn0tod according to obs
usual program. In the morning mem-
orial exercises in the Congressional
cemetery, and the exercises at Soldiers'
Home were held. As usual the exercises
at Arlington, which began at noon, form.
ed the chiof event of the day. The pro-
cession from the city was made unusually
imposing, because the whole National
Cloud of the district turned out its an
escort to the Granit Army of the Repnb-
lie. Daring the day also the soldiers'
graves in Babtlo Ground and Oak Hill
cemeteries and isolated graves in the su-
burbs of the olio; were decorator' by com-
mittees appointed for the pm'p0so.
At the 1spital there is but ono com-
ment on tho Paris letter of Mr. Blaine,
and that is there can bo no longer any
doubt or question as to theabsalute with-
drawal of that gentleman. Tho letter is
tin: accepted and 000struot0d by men
Of both political parties. The Republi-
can Senators say that Mr. Blaine's posi-
tive prohibition of the (ee of his mime
olears the political field on their side of
tbo only element of mm0rtain1y that ex-
isted, and that now they will proceed
calmly and deliberately to ascertain who
their strongest man i4 and to nominate
him. They do not intend, they say to
boom ant pLatrtioular man yet, but they
will consult the sentiment of the doubt-
ful tater--New York, Now Jersey, Con-
necticut and Indiana—and be governed
largely by the wishes of the people of
these States. Of course some of the Re.
1e111imen0 i0 Congress hovo their favor-
ites, but most of them appear to be un-
decided yet.
Tho Democratic Senators predict that -
there will be a lively fight at Chicago far
the uominatiotl with the result very
doubtful. Some of them express the
opinion that a dark horse will be chosen,
but as 8 rule the Republicans do not Don•
CUL' in this opinion ; moat of them de-
ctoro that this is no time for 1t dark
horse ; but that the ocoaeion calls for a
candidate with a record that will com-
mend him into the oo(n2ry.
The Sonate committee on the jndicary
Tbureday further considered 111e nomin.
ation of Mr. Fuller, to bo Chief Justice,
but did not reach a conclusion. There
seems to be no doubt that the committee
will report favorably on 4.110 nomination.
The delay is said to bo due rather to a
fear that the oommittee will bo aoousod
of haste and want of thoughtfulness if it
neglects to examine and weigh all that
is laid boloro it than to any speoial mat-
ters which have been charged against the
nominee. A certain Chicago mai has
been writing persistently asking for de-
lay to give him time to put certain things

tee, 13e has been accorded the time.
