Summer Outings Will Not, 116 En Joyed Unless It Goes Along. Tlio summer tide of pleasure and health-seekers lias set in toward mountains, springs and seashore. No plans for the season's outing will be complete unless The Times Is included among the necessaries. Men and women may go from town to leave care behind, but those who would keep their finger on the pub lic pulse, or bo abreast of the world's liappeulugs, or, Indeed, who need a. golden link between themselves and tlio whirligig of time tlieso must liuve The Times sent daily to their isyl van or seaside retreat. EQUAL 1'AY VOlt EQUAL WOHK. Among tlie many reforms organized labor 16 endeavoring to accoinplith it tlie thort cning of tlie hours f woman labor and the payment to lier of equal wages with man for equal -work under equal conditions. To eenie extent tliis lias already licen done, bat in many mills ar.d lactones tlie old prejudice still vxH ts against woman-labor, aa employers continue to insist tliat the emmot earn as much as men oven when era pktyed at tle mhw kind of work. Woniati -labor in many instances is also need ae a means jo lessen tlie rate of wages. Employers, knowing bcr ger.cially lii-ipiess oowditioii, wlsen thrown upon tlie world, take advantage of Ivor unfortunalc cir cumstances to cut down the cost of pro duction, and refuse to give hit employment cxept on tlieir own terms. Organized labor lias interfered to prevent this injus tloe, and wherever possible to induce wo-niEii-lalxv to alfiliate, ai:d also cooperate in demanding equal iwy for equal work, the result has been highly beneficial. "Women whose circumstances omnpel them to labor for wages will find earnest and warm -1 parted sympathizers among labor organizations. This was demonstrated in tlie liearty manner in wliirh the Laundry Girls' Assembly was indorsed by every labor organization in "Washington. It lias alBO Ivmmi illustrated many times by the demands of organized labar for better treat ment for woman-labor from unscrupulous employers, and in time it will be still further oxmnidified by an organized system of pro tection for every woman who is compelled to work for her living. The moral influence of organized woman labor controlled by pure-minded women would be a great factor in preventing an Increase of immorality. If girls, deprived of natural protectors, had friends of their own sex to appeal to for advice in times of distress the benefit to society would be almost beyond comprehension. Properly organized b'Hlies of woman-labor would supply this refuge for timelj- counsel and protection, and working wrjmen will them selves, in time, make that desirable method of preserving innocence one of the principal objects for organization. THE SHAME OF CONVICT LABOR. Tlie Electrical Workers are not to be blamed for refusing to take part in or countenance tlie Atlanta Exposition on ac count of the fact that a great deal of tlie work in tlie buildings has been done by convict labor. It would b'Jeminently proper If all labor organizations were to take the eame stand. Convict labor Is a Etauding insult and Injury to all honest labor. It places the nspeclubfcworkingmau in competition with the felon. It depresses wages ami works harm in many ways. Tlie hard labor which convicts perform by compulsion should be something that will not lake the bread cut of the mouths of honest, industrious workingm,n and their families. The employment of convict labor outside of tlie prisons is more common in the South than in any oilier part of the Union. In this fact may be found one reason why the cause of organized labor has not flourished more in that section. Unfortunately the legislatures of many of the Southern States have, from motives of false economy, aided and ttea Unemployment of convict labor. This is notably the case in North Carolina, Tonaeesee, Mississippi and Arkansas, and It appears that Georgia must be added to the list. Organized labor througliout the country can do nobetter than inaugurate a crusade against the convict labor system. No man ehoHld be supported for election to a State legislature that will not frankly and posi tively pledge himself to oppose any policy which mnkes the convict the competitor or the honest workingman. GOOD ItOADS. Secretary Morton lias done a commend able act in calling a good roods convention to meet in Atlanta during the Cotb m States Exposition. It will be a gathering whose deliberations and action will be of surpass ing interest to the people of every State, and to none more than tl.v States south of llason and Dixon's line. It is somewhat remarkable, but it is a fact, that tlie men who have taken less trouble about this matter of good roads are Uiose whom it concerns the most. To the farmer it Is a question of dollars and centswhetheruchas good roads or bad ones ver which to haul his produce to tho rail- J GITR AD iTs1$)OyNCILfe 111 any case of irregular delivery of road station or the market town. He saves or loses, as the case may b2, in two ways; for good roads enable him to hring his stuff toninrket rnorequickly and causeless wear and tear on his teams and wagons, while bad roads, of course, have jusl the opposite effect. There is, of course, a less utilitarian view also lobe taken -of this matter. People -who use carriages, either for business or for pleasure, prefer the smooth highway to the rougii country road, so termed by courtesy and custom, but in reality nothing, more than a succession of hills and gullies and in rainy weather a very slough ot de spair. The real merits of thecase, however, are presented by the necessities of tho farmer, lie it is who sufrers more than anybody else, for nut only does he lose in the deterioration of his vehicles and teams, but in the indirect depreciation ot ids prop erty, which la less accessible over bad roads than over good. "What is true of the Southern States in this respect applies with more or less force to other sections of the country, and hence the good roads convention at Atlanta will bi full of interest to them all. A SENATOU1AL, IIOOM. Alwut tho only comment necessary on Governor O'FerniU's published letter, is that lie straddles the coinage fence, is a candidate for tlie United States Senate, and will be beaten out of his mismated political boots by the "Virginia public. There are two other more popular and better qualified candidates in Virginia for that highly honorable position, and one ot them will be elected. Senator Daniel, the brilliant and gifted orator, will com mand the free silver vote, and if re-elected will continue to serve tlie country as only a man of his ability and integrity can be expected to discharge his Senatorial duties. Gen .Fitzhugh Lee, the other candidate, is backed by tlie "sound money" clement, which also means the administration in fluence, and as he is likewise an exceedingly popular Virgiuian, there is little hope for Governor O'Fcrrall's election, so long as these two candidates remain in tlie field, except by that uncertain quantity, the straddle-bug vote. Governor O'Fcrrall's letter is a perfect index of his cliaracter. It is a sort of a looking-glass which reflects his changeable mentality and in it can be seen the handi work of a shallow, unreliable politician's intellect. At the head of an international bimetallic brass band he lias commenced the Senatorial campaign, and like the heralding done by circus poster bills, his letter is a request for tlie public to waty for the O'Ferrall iiand wagon. But such campaigning is no longer popu lar." Voters welcome an exciting combat between able candidates, but they are no longer attracted by the antics of a politi cal clown. The man who wins their sup port must be for principle and not for policy, and as Governor O'Ferrall's plat form is entirely that of policy, his chances for tlie Senntorship are as remote as the fires of hades. He will, however, control the vote of Alexandria county, and the influence of the race track and policy gamblers across the river. LA HO It DAY. Arrangements for Labor Day are drawiug near completion and tlie first Monday in September will unquestionably be the most generally observed by organized labor of any since Congress made it a legal holiday. It should also be an occasion for puttiiiR aside personal grievances and animosities. If any exist they should lj promptly brought tinder subjection and not used as an excuse for refusing to unite in celebrating the one day that rightfully belongs to labor. Let every wage earner turn out and show his appreciation of the efforts being made for a great demonstration. And let the public review the parade. It will le more worthy of their appreciation than any other ever made in Washington. SPEED LIMIT OF ENGINES. The rcruarknblerailway. races which have occurred in Great Britain during the last week, while showing greater continuous speed of trains than had been previously at tained, proved also that the limit of the steam motor has been practically reached. The strife was between the rival eastern and western companies which operate the two great lines between London and Aber deen. Tlie train by the eastern route ran the niO miles in exactly G40 minutes, which induced the western managers to take a very light train and make the run ning in twenty-eight minutes less lime. These feats have led to "a general dis cussion among "experts," and to almost as general a conclusion that the fastest locomotives which can be built are now in u.-e and that they will never be exceeded. Greater speed is to be gained only by level ing and straightening roads and abolishing grade croasi.rgs of public highways, and for ranter running the world will have to depend on the electric engine or some other power not yet put in harness. I1LUE GHASS ThOUHLES. Blue grass is growing rank around Ken tucky nemocratlc hopes since Gen. Hardin, the Democratic candidate for Governor, has been trying to fit a free silver plug to a hole in a "sound money" platform. Much to the surprise and disappointment of Kentucky gold-bug Democrats, Gen. Hardin has commenced a free silver cam paign, and unless he can be muzzled and prevented from delivering silver speeches an effort will be made to compel him to withdraw from the ticket. Should he with draw, a good many free silver Democrats will refuse to vote with tlieir party, and if he remains after placing himself on record a large number of gold-bug Democrats will support the Republican candidate, who is a straight-out "sound money" ad vocate. TheDemocratsofXentuckyarethemselvea responsible for this unfortunate state of affairs. They adopted a gold platform and nominated a misfit candidate to sup port it. When he was nominated they knew Gen. Hardin was a Irtc silver worshipper, and liecause the blunder was theirs they should be manly enough to abide by the consequences. Any attempt to make an other nomination would complicate mat ters and create worce confusion, and it is 1G to 1 times better to take chances on Gen. Hardin's election than to bury the Dem ocratic party in a gold-mounted Repub lican coffin. It should be a warning, however, never to try to put zebra stripes on a Democratic donkey. Any candidate who -will sacri fice his convictions at the instigation of a convention is not worthy the suffrage -of voters, and General Hardin is not to be blamed for being true to his belief. The please send Postal only fault to be found with him is that he was silly enough loaccepla nomination un der the circumstances. Mr. Campbell says it is the other man who will have to hump himself during the coming campaign. The good rouds parliament should bear In mind that bicyclists will object to any more road tacks. James Kies Hardie,the English social ist leader, who has just arrived from Loudon, announces that lie proposes to hold back all opinions of the country until he has seen it. His proposition is a good one. Most of our English cousins make a flying trip to America for tlie purpose of criticising American customs and habits as they Junket through the country, and if Mr. Hurdle adheres to his resolution ho will be a welcome visitor. Coxey will probably remind Secretary Morton that by right of pre-emption lie owns tho title to the "good roads" question. Of courso London is socially dead. Ameri can millionaires have been excluded from select English society. Since Gov: Culbertsou has determined to stop the Corlxitt-Fllzsiiiunons fight In Texas the arena will doubtless be changed to tho newspaper field. President Cleveland will rind a third term very much like heaven easier to talk about than to reach. Tho announcement Is joyfully telegraphed over tho country that the nine-year-old King of Spain has written a letter. But who wants to read it? If China thinks hen alliance with civ ilized powers is paved with good intentions she must stop massacring Christian mis sionaries. The great Potomac regatta of 1SK5 has been pulled off to the satisfaction of the general public and the pride of the enter prising sportsmen, who fo successfully managed its affairs. It" was attended by thousands of people who manifested a marked interest in this kind of sport, and as the time made in the several races was satisfactory there is reason to believo that the meeting has done much to renew interest in Potomac boating. Unfortunately the crowds of Americans who are returning from the British metrop olis are leaving behind them the only American thing tlieir money that the public here cares to see of them. Another sign of the prosperity of The Times the largest circulation in the city. Had Prof. Garner visited a Kentucky political convention, his trip to Africa to hv5r monlxy talk would have been de ferred. A few words from Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease as to whether or not she belongs to the bloomer kind of new women would be exceedingly interesting. The excuse of Capt Barker, of the River View steamboat Samuel J. Pentz, that the collision of night before last was caused by the failure of the bell to re spond wheu he rang for a reversal of the engine, only makes matters worse. Unless the machinery and signal upplb ances of a steamboat are positively reliable, the boat should be pro hibited from carrying passengers. "Where tlie safety of thousands of people depends upon the tinkle ot a bell, as was the case when the Pentz crashed into the Macalester, there should be careful en deavor to keep the bell in order. This is said in all kindness to tlie River View Com pany and merely as a warning to be more careful of Its passengers. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. Employment ot Women In England to Ho Investigated. An investigation into the employment of women and girls, lately conducted by the labor department of the British board of trade, presents results somewhat at variance with those disclosed by the cen sus investigation in the United States, the statistics of which have recently been made public. So far as England is con cerned, the current view that women's employment Is rapidly extending aud that women are replacing men to a consider able extent in industry is not confirmed. Tlie employment of married and elderly women has, on the whole, diminished and the employment of women in casual oc cupations has also declined. The signifi cance of an increase in tlie employment of women and girls under twenty-live is Impaired by the fact that there has been a concurrent and similar extension in the employment of young men and boys. Miss Collet, who lias examined some of tlie reasons for this discrepancy between coti ceived notions and facts, points out. two main causes of error affecting public opin ion as to the extension in the employment of women. One Is the somewhat loo hasty assumption that the recent tendency in the direction of the greater employ ment ot middle class women was repre sentative of general changes in the field of employment for women of all kinds. Ou the contrary the great Increase in productive power through the introduction ot machinery lias largely increased the number of Englishmen -wJio are able to support their daughters, whilo the need for the services' ot the latter at home has decreased. Therefore, it Is pointed out, in the middle classes, a high standard of comfort, a diminished probability of mar riage and apprehension with regard to the future, have all combiued to encourage the entrance into the labor market, of middle class girls. At the saino time, however, a converse movement has been going on among the less prosperous classes, by whom the benefit to the family to be derived from the services of women at home is only being gradually realized. As a matter of fact, the statistics given in the Tepoft indicate that the total in crease in tho employment of women and girls as compared with the population was very slight during the decade of 1881 1891. A secoud source of error as to the question of female employment is found iu an unscientific method of statistical comparison. A fact of great importance is brought out in the report; there is not a single case of abso'luto decrease In the number of males employed which docs not also show an absolute decrease in tho number of females employed.

Fanclulll the Tlero of the Occasion Popular Verdict "Was That Tliis Was tlio Host Con cert. ot tho Season. What with popular music selected by the daily newspapers ot the city, thousands ot pretty girls and more thousands of gal lants applauding it, with a radiant sky over all and everybody as happy as could be, the Marine Band concert at the "White House grounds, yesterday afternoon, was an unqualified success. Everybody knows what the programme was, for it was published in The Times. There were fourteen numbers, not including or course, "Hail Columbia," and or these eight were marches, which ehows'that the musical sense or the average newspaper man lies in his feet. Then there was something just a trifle more severe in the shape of tho "Tell" overture and "Faust" selections. Light opera was represented by "Fra Diavolo," and the devotee of the dance had "On the BcautKul Blue Dnuube." Then FauciullI was honored In his descriptive compositions, "A Night in Bohemia" and "A Trip to Manhattan Beach," and that was all. Did it catch on? Well, it did right in the beginning, and slald till the end. The girls, floating by like angels in tulle, dimity, brgandies and lawns, were all smiles when the waltz time struck tlieir ears, and every body braced up and tried to keep some sort or step when the marches were played. SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY. The connoisseurs pricked up their ears at the 'Salve Dimore" or thCSchalmeien lietl" or "Behold, On Yonder Heights," and the whole crowd made their hands sore with clapping wheu Fanciulli's "Trip to Manhattan Beach" was begun and closed. Fanciulll ilid hiniseir proud. As he had complimented the newspapers by making ihem select the' programme, so he felt complimented by" their selection of so many of his own charming compositions. A smile flitted over the-amiable leader's hand some features as he ruised his baton and the band broke -Into the measures of the "Evening Star March," the initial numlier. Things wcntswiminingly through the other selections, "The1 Evening News March" and the "Washington Post" and "Daily Post" marches rnid the "Turkish Patrol." They all struck some chord of popular ap proval and the applause was plentiful. "What's that? 'Times March' by limes? Well, here goes for The Times," an enthu siastic admirer of the people's newspaper as the band struck up that popular compo sition. Everybody thought so, too. ar.d everybody wenl for The Times and ap plauded it and the march to the echo. This, however, was Jusl 'a beginning, Just a sample of what tho 4,000 people on the grounds could do, for the next number was Fanciulli's latest march, "The New Baby," dedicated to Tlie Evening Times, and then the iK'opIe- Just applauded till they quit from sheer exhaustion. Then came Fanciulli's "piece do resist ance" in the humorous line, of course "A Trip to Alaiihat tan Beach." How the people enjoyed it! They not only heard it, they ..actually made the Journey in their minds. MAKING THE TRIP. The day broke in glorious colors. Tho dew sparkled on every leafe, the roses put forth their purest fragrance, and all the world seemed gay. Some poor be lated mortal caught the boat all out of breath and Just as the plank was being hauled in, but was at once soothed and paci fied by the sweet strains of the barcarole during the ride down the harbor. Arriving suddenly somewhere with the bass drum, all rushed to the train aud car ried away at the rate of GO miles an hour, swishing and tooting, doors slamming and cinder3 flying, to a tccr.e on which the sun shown brightly, and where the eea nymphs danced sprightly to the tempo of a fantastic waltz. The sun went down, eveningshadows fell around, and tired but superbly happy, sur rounded by rockets and firecrackers, pin wheels and devil-chasers, all slowly wended their way hence to the old familiar tune "Home, Sweet Home." "Talk about your concerts," said one enthusiastic old gentleman, as he walked toward the Fifteenth street gate. "Our Washington newspapermen may not know how togotupnewspapers.butthey certainly arc trumps when it comes to getting up popular concert programmes." A PERUVIAN VIVANDIERE. She AVas Celebrated Tor Her Courage and Bravery During theCa m pnign. From Lima comes the story of a remarka ble Peruvian woman, who has become a celebrity in the country from her bravery and attention to the wounded during the re cent revolutionary campaign which culmi nated in the attack and capture of Lima on March 17, 18 and 10 last. To-day the name of Alaitha the Vivan diere, who accompanied the division of the coalition armj under the command of Col. Philip Ore, is a household word in Lima. Martha is a woman of about thirty five years of age, and of Indian blood. She is rather tall fdr one of her race, and not at all bad "looking. From first to last, since Col. Ore en camped in Lurj.n, about twenty miles from Lima, Alnrtha )n a brilliant uniform and mounted on a iplenditl horse was always to be seen when, fighting was going on, somctimesat the front urging on thesoldlers, at other times at the rear, assisting the wounded. Duringtherierce'flghtingattheentranceto Lima Alartha was wounded by a bulletin therightfoot.

Thcscshc managed to t ir.ug gle out with her when she joined Col. Ore's division as a Vivandiere. There were threedays'treniendousfighting in Lima, over 1 ,000 men lying dead in the streets.. About 50 per cent of the ecni batants engaged were placed hors du com bat. By this it' will be easily understood how the conduct of Alartha , the Vivandiere, has made her famous. Selfish Coggy.

B. WILLIAMS, 7th and D Streets. THEY CAN'T GET A FLOAT Tailors Unable to Present That Feature in Labor Day Parade. Laundry Workers' Assembly "Will Keoplts Charter Open Indefinitely In Order to Get "ev Members. Tailors' Assembly, No. 2370, Knights of Labor, met last evening in Plasterers' Hall, corner Four-and-a-halr street and Pennsyl vania avenue. The discussion of arrangementsfor Labor Day paradeconsumed the greater partof the time. The Assembly will Join the National Union of Tailors and parade as one organization. Although the Assembly wlllturnoutabout 200 strong, still there is a great feeling of disappointment because they will not be able to procure a float to be carried in line that day. This, however, is no fault of the members of the assembly who were all willing and anxious to carry out tlieir part of tlis agreement made some time ago with tha merchant tailors who promised to bear half the expense. The float was intended to represent the sweating system in large cities and was thought to be of as great, if not more, benefit to the merchant than to the Journeymen tailors. By unanimous vote Morton C StouJ, merchant tailor. No. 1112 F street north west, was placed on the unfair list. The other labor organization of the city will be requested to endorse this action. The Laundry "Workers' Tioneer Assembly, No. 125i, K. of L., passed resolutions on Friday night inviting all employes or laundries in the city to join them in their efrorts to better their condition. In order to meet those who may respond thej will hold an open session on "Wednesday night next in tlie Organized Labor committee room in The Times building. As an inducement to join the Pioneer As sembly, its members have resolved to keep its charter open ror an indefinite period, so that new members may join on the same terms and costns the chartcrmembers. This will be a considerable 6aviug in fees. The Laundry "Workers have now under consideration a proposition to take part in Labor Day parade. They have sixty six members on the roll, ten of whom are men, and would undoubtedly make a "special feature of the grand pageant. This matter will be- decided on "Wednesday night. At the regular meeting of the Stonecut ters' organization on Friday night Mr. Fred Hrooks Avas elected president to fill the unexpired term of President Quigg, resigned. Mr. Brooks impressed bimseir on the organization as an officer well equipped for the duties of the presidency. He has had valuable experience in this line in North Carolina, New Jersey and elsewhere in the United States. Mr. D. A. "Walsh, who was referred to in the report of the Granite-cutters' meeting reported in yesterday's Times, was asked last evening what hihad to say about the comments made on him in that report. He said that he did not think the news papers the proper place to discuss the mat ter. Such differences, he said, should be settled inside the various organizations. He would state, however, that thc.Grattc Cutters had representatives at the Labor Conference, when the Chief Marshall an nounced his aides and that was the time to object to him if there was ground for objection. He understands that the object of the labor organizations is harmony and that he will make his reply at the proper time and place. Cigarmakers' Union, No, 110. met last evening at No. 737 Sovcnth Street north west. Although handicapped on account of their inability to procure suitable union music, the union will-turn out about seventy-five strong c-a Labor Day. The uuion is opposed to child laborand, there fore, would not marc hto the strains of a boys' drum corps nor would it consent to be in line with non-union music. A communication was received from Tailors' Assembly, K. of L., requesting the union to place the firm of Morton C. Stout, No. 1112 F street, on tlie unrairlist. Im mediate action was taken and the firm placed on the unfair list. Mr .James Hughes was elected a delegate to Uie Federation or Labor, vice Milton Haker, resigned. Tho "Eyes and Eyelids. People shed tears when in sorrow, or sometimes in anger, because there is a rush of blood to the head, the eyes and temples become hot, and the tears are a natural provision to keep the eyes cool. People are cross-eyed or have strabis mus because some of the muscles of the eyeball arc too long or too short, mid thus turn the eye out or its proper position. Some cases ot this kind are curable by a skillful surgical operation. The eyes become bloodshot because, while ordinnrily the vessels of the cornea arc too small to admit the red corpuscles of the blood, when inflamed they enlarge and-the red particles enter and give their color to the whites. The eyelids close involuntarily when the eye is threatened, in order that this organ may be protected. If a man had to think to shut hiseyes when something was thro.wn at them he would be too slow to save the eye from Injury. "Perilous Tim&s" these between-season days.

AND SEVENTH and Uie Mason cup, which goes with it, in 1800, in 9.17. A cloud rorming at the finish of the race, showing very distinctly the mystic shrine inverted crescent, at tracted considerable attention. Moar, of Columbia, and Maurice, or the Potomac, having dropped out or the Junior single race; Lewis M. Reitz. or Ariels, rowed over the course alone In 10.33. NOW COME THE SENIOR FOURS. It was in the next race, which was ror senior rour-oansl shells, that the greatest surprise or the day came. With tho reputation or having rowed a strong second at the national and a crew in pink of condition, the Metropolitans, of New York, were by long odds the favorites and conceded by nearly everyoiieasthemost likely crew. They were a splendid set of men. The result or the race when they qame in third was indeed a surprise and al most completely dumbfounded Ellis Ward, who is their raithful coach. By the time this race was called, the wind had gone down and the tide setting in. smoothing the water to almost its normal condition, having just a little life. Every ono settled down lor a grand race, which it proved to be. The Columbias were astrongsecondchoice and had many backers, the vew was In the finest kind of condition, and they rowed a splendid race, Eaton having a good re serve of strength, answering promptly to all calls from Capt. Blount, who steered a good race. TheArlclshadlnthesamecrew which won the junior race two hours before. The "Pennsy" four was a comparatively un known quantity, the crew had only been together ten days and the result shows that they made good use of their short time at work together. Baltz rowed and steered at all times like a veteran and never once letting clown. ARIELS LAST TO MOVE. Columbia was the quickest to get away at the start, rowing at 40, Ariels last to move. After 25 strokes Pennsy jumps away and leads easily to the surprise of. all. Mets and the others on even terms. Gradually the Ariels dropped back, the Columbias holding their own. At the half mile Columbia led Analostan, which was the wining lightweight four, and Mets crawled up on Pennsy, who were rowing a terrific stroke, hammering away to make it to the turn. All were rowing in good form as they ap proaching the buoy, Pennsy lending. Co lumbia turned first In a good pivot, Pennsy second but seeming to have difficulty fr turning. Mets, who were rigged port stroke, and were allowed to turn in an op posite direction to the others, came around last. Here the Mets hit up and began to catch up on Fennsy, which was drop ing back a little. It was a grand race for first and second place: for the former Columbia had it with Pennsy and Mets, Analostan, and Ariels had a tussle for the latter place. At the one-and one-quarter-inile tlag Pennsy led by two lengths, and Analostan closed up on the Ariels, hut the spurt came too late. Columbia held on doggedly to the Pennsy, who were now five lengths ahead of them, and rowing as in practice and Columbia some three lengths ahead or Mets, who. at all times, rowed in great form, using legs and backs well and swinging well together. The Ariels, Analostans and Mets were lapping from the mile down, and it was a great exhibition of good rowing be tween them. liy this time the surprise had passed off and the Pennsys were looked upon as wonders; that's all, and they crossed the line winners by five lengths in 0:02; Col umbia second, Mets third, Ariel fourth, Tlie Analostan crossed the line with two men in distress. A PROTEST ENTERED. When the umpires' boat came to a stop the Columbias drew alongside and entered a protest against the awarding ot the race to Pennsy on the ground that tho latter had not turned the stake, and also on a foul at the turn. The umpire reserved his decision until he could consult the judges at the turn, and as to the foul, he would decide that later on also. When the Judge at the turn, GREAT POTOfflM: BEGITTJ Continued From Second Page. on all that's left of the GDMPMNY, "Saks' Goraer." Mr. W. P. Keene, was picked up be in formed the officials promptly that the Pennsy crew did turoits stake and m proper manner, ami of course this settled it si far as the turn" protest was concerned, and later in the evening the umpire decided that the foul, if there was one, did in n, wise affect the result of the race, and de cided the Penasy winners. The next and las race was the interme diate eightoared race, and, as -was ex pected, it was the most exeitiag of the day. There were three"crews on the line. the Baltimore Athletics, the Palisades of Yonkers, aad Montrose of Philadelphia. INCREASED THE LEAD. The start was a good one aad all three crews pickedaway ror a desperate. struggle. At the quarter mile Montrose led shgnUy and increased it steadily, the altlmores pulling away at a Torty stroke and the Palisades in the meantime steadily ad vancing. When near the halt the Montrose veered slightly over to the Palisades' water and gradually pushed them over to the Balti mores, putting the Palisades in a pocket, out ot which they could not clear themselves, and after giving away as much as possible, fouled, which they had a right to do. The umpire disqualified tins Montrose and ordered the remaining two to row It oi rrom the place of routtng, giving the Baltimores one-quarter length clear water to start on. The race Trout here out was a desperateoneand was woninagreatspurt by Baltimore by two lengths. It was a magniTIcent dash for the three Tourths or a mile. The time was not taken and the race was rot over until the moon came and darkness crept over the course. Umpire Statzell had some knotty questions to decide, but he handled them fairly and correctly and his decisions were received by all in the proper spirit, being accepted as correctly given upou tlie merits of thecase. The prizes were handed to the winners last night at the Columbia Athletic club nouse. ItOYAL VISITING CARD. Tho Hits of I'nsteboard Ced by Na poleon mid tho 1'rlnce ot "Wales.
