At a meeting ot the District of Columbia Horti

Saul In the chair, and Jas. Croggon as secretary,
Mr. Curtis spoke of the remarkable growth of a
grape (Clark's Columbia) owned by Capt, Phelps. It
was, he said, two years old and had two canes,
each extending 19 feet, trained on a wooden wall,
and was so loaded with fruit that there was need
or trimming.
Capt.;Phelps said he had planted the grape, after
throwing In a quantity of brick-bats ensure drain
ing, In good sou. He had placed on the bricks a
peck of hickory ashes. The vine was a wonder
fully strong grower, although it made but slow
progress the first year, and the foliage was as pro
line as t he fruit. He had yet to see a single im
perfection in fruit or foliage.
Mr. Curtis asked whether the clusters should be
thinned or the rrult be thinned.
Mr. Saunders said It depended on the grape, and
Mr. Clark remarked that the grape was his pet,
and he would clean out the clusters.
Mr. Saul said folks are apt to leave too much
fruit on tree or vine, and as to the grape he would
thin out the fruit. If growers paid more attention
to thinning out their fruit the quality would be
Improved, and the tree or vine be left In good con
dition for another year.
Mr.Saunders remarked that growers should send
better fruit to market. The peaches sent in are
for the most part skin and bone. By thinning out
the fruit the quality would be Improved. He had
heard of a Michigan man who expended f500 in
thinning out ten acres of peaches, and as a result
he realized from his crop more than his neighbors,
who had double the quantity of land. The same
could be done with the strawberry. He had for
merly advocated thinning out fruit, but after a
trial he found that this involved so much labor
that he was not now so fond of talking about it.
Mr. Curtis remarked that a Mr. Lawton, of Nor
folk, met with much success some years ago with
gwirs by leaving but one or two growing on each
Mr. Saunders said that Mr. Lawton's orchard
was subsequently blighted.
Mr. Saul spoke of the rose called the American
beauty having been identified as an old rose.
Mr. Fowler Invited the members to visit his ex
hibition ol night-blooming cereus at his residence.

SOME PiqtTANT REMARKS FROM THE DOCTOR, ABROAD.
To the Editor of The Evening Stab: .
I have Just enjoyed (?) the privilege of paying
two shillings (fifty cents) letter postage for a copy
of The Stab of the 1st Instant, mailed to me under
cover by a friend and patient, with, no doubt, the
best Intentions; and much as I appreciate your
excellent luminary, I must say that under the cir
cumstances I would rather take the chances of
seeing or not seeing that particular Issue, which,
I observe, contains the substauce of a communi
cation to the commissioners on the subject of
"Dr. Hartlgan's Pets."
Strange that the writer of said communication
should have chosen the time of my absence to give
vent to his "crankiness" in this manner, especi
ally when he has never even as much as intimated
his grievance to me. Whether the "stench" com
plained of arises from Nick, Dot or Tom, the two
cats, "one now with kittens" (how does he know
that both cats haven't kittens?) or the "dozens of
chickens," Mr. Collins does not make very clear,
but It Is to be hoped that the Commissioners have
taken, or will take, such steps In the matter as
will tend to preserve the valuable life of this
"peaceable, quiet citizen and taxpayer."
If, unfortunately, the life of the complalner
should be endangered through the inaction ol the
commlssfoners, and serious results should follow,
I shall be most happy on my return to make a post
mortem examination gratuitously. Yours respect
fully, J. F. Hartiuan, M. D.

Tbe Bachelors Have Something to Say*
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Although I have not arrived at that happy stage
when I may sign myself "parent," yet permit me
to ask where "parent No. 3" gets hla authority for
stating that "non-residents," and fourth-year pu
pils are admitted to the High school to tfce exclu
sion of residents. As far as I have been atye to find
out no one has been excluded from the Illgh School
unless he was Incapable of passing the entrance
examination. Would "P. No. 3" have the standard
of the High School lowered simply to fill the
seats with residents? If so, then instead of giving
earchment diplomats to the graduates, they had
fitter be given tissue-paper ones,for,on a standard
less than 70 per cent tney are practically useless.
If "P. No. 3" does not expect to fill the seats left
vacant by non-residents, then It seems to me he
acts something like a certain ancieut canine
which could not eat hay. Bachelor No. L

Pittsburg Still Ahead.
THE WASHJNOTOX'8 tTN8CCCB88FCL STRUGGLE FOR
SIXTH PLACE.
The Washington seem destined to follow in the
trail ot the Smoky City team. Several times they
have been so close upon the heels of the Pittsburgs
that It looked as if the next day would see tbe
Statesmen advanced to sixth place In the cham
pionship race. It was at such times that the ad
mirers of the home team would begin to predict
that the boys had reached a winning gait, and
would soon be up among the leaders, where they
rightfully belong. But alas for the uncertainties
of base balL Invariably the Pittsburgs pull away
from the Senators Just when they ought to fall
behind them. Such was the case yesterday. With
the aid of Whitney In the box Saturday Washing
ton captured a game in handsome style. A victory
yesterday would have given Washington sixth
place. But the Pittsburgs put on their batting
clothes and batted Shaw pretty hard, winning the
game by a score of 9 to 4. The victors were
credited with 15 hits and 6 errors, and the Wash
ington with 13 hits and 6 errors. The same clubs
play again to-day.

Peach Growers Encouraged.?The peach grow
ers of Hunterdon, Warren, and ftussex Counties,
N. J., leel greatly encouraged over tbe flattering
prospect of a good yield of peaches. The orunards
look healthy, and for the most part the trees are
well filled with green fruit. Strange to say, in
many orchards the trees on the north side are
loaded with fruit, while those on the south side
are almost, if not entirely, bare of peaches.
The River Gives Up Its Dead.?The mutilated
remains of a woman floated in at the wharf at C.
Hurbeck's stores, on Furmas street, Brooklyn,
about noon yesterday,and those who saw the body
were of the opinion that tbe woman bad been mur
dered. The body was nude, and both legs wete cut
off at the knee. There was some hemp and bag
ging tied around her neck, and it was evident that
the bagging had contained some heavy weight
when the body was thrown into the water. The
body had remained upon the bottom ot the river
until decomposition had set in. The deceased
seemed to be a middle-aged woman.

HARVARD'S HARD PILI
Tliey Win a Clow Ran wlclk C?l??
bia-The Record Hvairr*.
The eighth annual four-mile stnilght-away race
between eight-oared crews, representing Harvard
and Columbia Colleges, was rowed yesterday after
noon on the Thames course, from Gales" Ferry to
Wlnthrop Point, and proved to be one of the m<>*t
hotly contested races ever rowed, both crews
breaking the record of twenty minutes and thirty
one seconds, made by Yale In 1884. The official
time Is Harvard, 20:20; Columbia, 'Hi :29. About
noo college men, Including the Harvard, Colum
bia and Yale delegations, came on to see the
races. The local people swelled the number of
spectators to about twelve hundred. All the con
ditions were favorable for fast time. The water
was comparatively smooth, and the tide was run
In? out very strong, being greatly increased In
volume by the heavy frestiet occasioned by the
late rains, and a fresh breeze blew directly down
the course. The word was given, and both
crews went away on a spurt of thirty-six
strokes per minute. Harvard catching the
water first, and gaining a slight ad
vantage. both crews sploshing badly. Both
crews dropped their pace two strokes, and settled
down to hard work. Harvard's long, sweeping
stroke and the precision with which they swung
their bodies sent them gradually to tbs front, and
at the first quarter they had a lead of a length.
The columblas here began doing better work, and
began to gain on the leaders Inch by inch. The
excitement at this point was something tremen
dous. Columbia continued to gain, and as both
shells shot by the half-mile flag they were bow
and bow. This One exhibition of rowing by The
Columbia bftys greatly surprised the Harvard
crew, and they showed their temporary demorali
zation bv splashing and irregular body movement.
This was Columbia's opportunity, and she took
advantage of It b* drawing away from Harvard
and showing about a foot of clear water between
the boats. But Harvard was not to be so easily
defeated. They quickly recovered themselves,
and by their sweeping strike of thirty-four rap
idly ran up alongside of the New Yorkers, and by
great exertions seut the bow of their boat a few
feet to the front Just as they pass?*d the tirst mile
flag. The rowing up to this polut was some
thing phenomenal, the second half being
rowed In 2:10* and 2:11 v., respectively, and
both crews were flfteen stv mds ahead of the rec
ord. Harvard's lead was only 3 feet, and It was
anybody's race. The enthusiasm here was at Its
height, every Harvard and Columbia man shout
ing tor all he was worth. The terrible strain had
Its effect on the columblas. and they dropped their
stroke to XK, while Harvard, still pulling:H, fotvd
ahead, and at 1* miles nearly showed clear water.
Harvard kept up her steady swing, while colum
blas work was ragged, and to her misfortune her
coxswain swerved from the course and made a
long sweep in shore, thereby losing nearly a
length. At the 2-mile flag Harvard had increased
her lead to two lengths, opposite the navy-yard
Harvard was three lengths ahead, swinging mer
rily along with the race well in hand. At that
point the Columblas seemed to get their second
wind, and put In such effective work that in that
half mile she had overcome one length of her op
ponent's lead. All during the third mile Harvard
took matters easily, and Columbia attempted to
close the gap, but could do nothing more t han Lold
her own. Entering the last half mile Columbia
made her final effort, but to do her best she could
galu but a few feet, aud Immediately lost it again,
and all through the half mile Harvard easily main
tained her lead of three lcugths, lu spite of Colum
bia's gallant effort, Harvard crossing the line a
winner by three lengths, defeating the best crew
Columbia has ever had, and breaking the record
by eleven seconds. Columbia's t lme is two seconds
better than the best previous record.

Two Thousand People Homeless.
A WISCONSIN TOWN BLOTTED OtT BV FIRE?A LOSS
OF A MILLION.
Fire almost swept the town of Mansfield, Wis.,
out of existence Monday afternoon, aud 2,000
people are homeless. The loss is not less than
$1,000,000. All communication by wire was cut
off A locomotive spark started a blaze at noon
In the lumber yard of the Upham Furniture Fac
tory. and It rapidly spread into a roaring flre that
spread toward the town. Insufficient flre protec
tion facilities prevented any resistance to the
flames, and soon several flourishing factories the
business blocks along the main street and adjoin
ing residences were wi apped in flames. The peo
ple gathered such household effects as they could
and fled to the woods.
The heat was so intense that 2,590 feet of the Wis
consin central track, wldch runs through one end of
the town, was bent and twisted into the most
grotesque shapes. But one store and a tew half
burned houses remain of the flourishing town.
Many people were transferred by specials to the
neighboring towns, aud others camped on the out
skirts of the town. Among the buildings destroyed
were a woodenware factory, the grist-mill, saw
mill and factory of the Upham Manufacturing Co.,
the Tremont and several minor hotels; ware
houses along the Wisconsin Central, Its depot,
four churches and the entire business center. The
insurance is less than one-fifth of the loss.
How Capt. Jace Hissey was Killed,?An In
quest was held In New York yesterday In the ease
of Capt. Jack Hussey, the life-saver. The testi
mony showed that Hussey, who was intoxicated,
was drinking in a saloon with Policeman Hahn,
who was in citizens' clothes, and they quarreled.
Hahn left the saloon, and when Hussey left, a
short time later, the policeman, who was outside,
shot him in the abdomen. The Jury's verdict fixed
Hussey's death on Hahn, who is locked up In the
tombs.

Parnell Will Not Hetirb.?Justin McCarthy
writes that there Is not the slightest truth in auy
report about Mr. Parnell retiring from political

a mighty roar went up from the people. With
