The steeple-chase, which closed the day’s sport, was a most toteresting event. The starters were Kitty Clark, Joe Huat, Buster, Lilile Monson, Bethune, and Hart:ord. Kitty Clark was a favorite by long odds, and she proved that she was worthy of the trust imposed upon her. The first uiree hurdles saw three of the riders thrown and their horses galloping wildly about the inflid.

At the m:etinz of the board of direction of the Garfield monument fair, in the parlor of the Eb- bitt House last night, Hon, J. W. Thompson chair man, and Mr. F, T, Wilson, secretary, Mr. Pettit, who has charge of the installation plans, pre- sented an estimate of the expenses attending the preparation of the Capttol for the exhibition, and the same having been approved the work Was Aue thorized, and will be put under contract at once, The chairmen of most of the state boards were pres*nt, and Teported the progress mae by their several’ committees. Mr. Wilson, the secretary, who with Gen. Hazen returned ‘from New York yesterday morning, reported that the whole floor space of THE ROTUNDA has been taken by prominent New York parties Wao will unite in making this section the most br.lliant of the whole exhibition. The four inner quidrants of the circle will be taken by Messra, ‘Tiffany & Co., the Gorham Manufacturing Co., Sa- Tony,the eminent photographer, and the Japanese Importing Co., each occupying a space of about four hundred téet. Several pottery compantes and other manutacturers of artistic work will occupy a platform entirely, Surrounding the inner wall ot the rotunda, and the entire wall of the rotunda, to a height of fifteen feet, will be covered by paint- ings of the most eminent artists of America. THE OLD HALL OF REPRESENTATIVES will be transformed into a mammoth bazaar, in which booths ten feet square will be occupied’ by the ladies of each of the states, and the center filled by choice exhibits from the executive de- partments of the government. The plans of the Inanagement contemplate a method of floral and bunting decoration, which will combine to pre- sent a brilliant effect, beyond euvening ever be- fore seep in Washington. From this hall, through the passages and corridors, leading toand around the House of Representatives, special exhibits will be arranged of a most artistic nature, includ- ing most every branch of modero art and decora- tion. It is safe to say that the Capitol will pre- sent an attractive ap) ice, that will amply re- pay the thousands who will visit 1t from all parts of the country. ; A telegram was recel¥ed during the evening from the committee on transportation in New York to the effect that all the railroad companies in the country will reduce thelr fares to tes during the exhibit season. gists ‘TRANSFERS OF Reat EstaTs.—Deeds in fee have been recorded as follows:—C.
