The committee from the local clubs who have charge of the arranze- ments for the regatta have worked hard, thus far met witn commen success.

Seldon is there such an array of prizes offered for a regatta, and it was thought that more crews from other cities would be attracted | here. Itis fortunate, however, that our local clubs are strong enough to hold a regatta on | their own account, and as the main interest | centers in races in which local oarsmen partici- | pate. this regatta Is bound to be successful. The junior singles has but one entry—that of Smithson—andit is the onlyrace that did not fill. It was confidently expected that Perley, of the Analostans, would be his competieor, and in that case a very pretty race would be the result, for they are both good men, though comparatively untried. The race for junior tours has the lar- | gest number of entries, though the Rappahan- nocks, of Fredericksburg, it is_ understood, will | gt be present. The Ariels, of Baltimore. will here to row for the Mason cup, and will lend | an additional interest to the race. for otherwise | the victory would be conceded to the Analos- tans, who have devoted all their energies to this one race, although Kennedy did not stay with them long as trainer. Their crew will con- sist of Eckstein, Jannus, Somers and Pairo. a good strong four. Neither the Columbias nor That of the former consists of Fildew, Sloane, Schmidt and Kerr. The crew ot the Potomacs is not known yet, although Courtney has select- ed it, and will row the men regularly next week. The gig race will bea good one. The Philadelphia crew. consisting of Elder, Nagle, Vogel and Beck, has been rowing stronger than ever this year. The Norfolk giz crew won very handily and unexpectedly at the recent Norfolk regatta, and also at City Point, and are apt to press hard for the first place. The Columbias will probably row their blz four, consisting of Nute, Kintner, Wade and Kondrup. although the men are so entered that only two.of that crew will be in the boat if deemed advisable. In the light- weight race the Columbias will be Brewster, Zeigler, Woodward and Smith; and the Poto- macs, Fisher. Roberts, Whittington and Warden, although both Smallwood and McKinney are | entered. The sentor fours will be the grand Tace of theday. The same crews will take part that rowed such a wonderfully close race at Nor- folk on July 4th, there being no open water be- tween the first and last_ boats when the line was crossed. The Elizabeths will come with a new boat, confidently expecting to sweep the river, and it fs no sure thing that they will not do so. The Columb‘as and the Potomaes will both be on | top of them, if not ahead of them, for both | home crews are rowing splendidiy.

Those received, show good taste in design and work- manship. and are well worth winning. All of the medals have a bar, containing, in black let- ters, the words “Potomac River Revatta,” and pendants of different design, held by gold chains. The pendant of the giz medal consists of an open circle, containing ‘“4-oar gig” in black letters, In the open center is the mono- gram “1884.” Two oars are crossed in front and two behind the pendant. The pendant of the elght-oar medal is a gold shield of pecultar design, with the blades of elzht oars between it and the bar. The extension of the lower part engraved. The desizn of the medal for senior fours consists of a shield with a closed circle in the center, containing “Senior Four.” The blades of four gold oars project above the shteld.

Bicycling. The number of riders in Washington is rapidly | increasing, and ts now estimated at over five | hundred. Every day new riders are seen on the streets. After they become accustomed to the | smooth asphalt pavements they try their luck , on the road, and when once they gain confi- dence, they realize the pleasures of wheeling. Messrs. Barrick, Rhodes and Harper. of the Capital club, made a run some distance above Seneca and return last Tuesday, a distance of something over fitty miles. A hundred mile run was on the program for Thursday, in which @ number of the best road riders fntended to participate, but the extreme heat made a post- ponement advisable.

They made a similar excursion last year, and had a very enjoyable time, to which the Seaside Bicycle club, of Norfolk, largely contributed. The showers ot the past two days will put the roads about Washington in spleadid condition for bicycling, and road riding will be very popu- lar with the constantly increasing riders during the coming week. Old wheelmen say that a rider cannot appreciate a bicycle untii he be- comes accustomed to road riding. The Turf.

These mines have now reached a depth of 600 feet, at which point water in great volumes was encountered, necessitating hea pumping machinery. On one mine, the Ci tion, large Cornish puinps have been erected, and by their aid the miners have been enabled tosink a hundred feet below the water level, but on account of the heavy flow, it was nece sary to stop work until puinps were placed in the adjacent mines. ASTRIKE IN TOMBSTONE. The expense of working in the water being so much greater, ceused the mine owners to de- mand of their miners that they should work at a lower rate of wages than €4per day, which had been the prevailing price. The min- ers refused, and hence work is now entirely suspenadea and about 500 men are thrown out of employment. This state of things Jeads naturally to a stagnation in every depart- Inent of business, and gives to the town an air 000,000, ot destiny | of dullness and desertion.

There is a daily newspaper, with the expressive name of the Tombstone Epitaph. HOW THE TOWN WAS NAMED. The original discoverers of the immense wealth buried in this soil was Ed. Schieffelin, who left Tucson in 1878, having learned that there might be vast mining resources in this region, which was then occupied by the Apache Indians, and whose chief, named Cochise, had his headquar- ters established in the neighborhood. The famous prospector and a true type of a frontiers- man faced boldly all the perils which lay in his path, and in a few years laid the foundation of & magnificent fortune, which he still lives to en- great change in the population | joy. When Schieffelin lett on his prospecting trip. which resulted in the discovery of these mines, his friends im Tucson advi him that he was more likely to discover his tombstone than anything else. This so impressed him that he named the camp Tombstone, which it has borne ever since, and the Ej has given a faithful record of the wonderful history of the place. Ww. oT! FROM REHOBOTH.

The Douglass house was the scene of a very pretty Leap Year german last evening of fifteen couples, led by Miss Ward, of Warrenton, Va., and Mr. W. 8. Thompson, jr., of Washington. It being an impromptu affair, the only way of ob- taining favors was to make them, so the ladies set their wits to work and made enough for three figures, and they were unique, to say the least. There were flags and bannerettes, made of ribbon and velvet contributed by the ladies, with tooth-picks for rods and st Some of these were painted and some embroidered. ‘Then there were pretty, delicate shells, pierced and decorated with ribbon bows, wish-bones, Talbot, Lens, Miss Brewster, Quixote and Re- gret.

There was quite an excitement in base ball circies last night, caused by a report of the prob- able disbanding of the Washington club.

Not this alone, but its cost and size would place it beyond the reach of many of his own countrymen, for want of means to purchase and want of time to read tt. In preparing his shorter history, based upon the same studies | made for his more extended work, the author ;has therefore performed @ most valuable ser- | vice, and produced a work which may fairly be ‘ded as the most tmportant addition to the orical literature of the year. Whereso mich is compressed in comparatively small spfce, many details of interest must necessarily be ex- cluded, but nothing has been omitted that is essential to the clear understanding of the causes leading to the momentuous struggle or an adequate conception of the terrific events which marked its progress. Throughout the work bears evidence of the pat-once and thor- whness which characterize the labors of Ger- lars, and the story is told to the end in a spirit of pertect fairness. No attempt Is | made at rhetorical display, but graphis and even | brilliant passages are not lacking: and the gen- eral style of the author is clear, straightforward and frank, keeping himself out of view as much as possible, and devoting himself entirely to the elucidation of histheme. An idea of how the history is esteemed in Germany may be formed from the fact that over twenty thousand copies were sold last year in that country, where books are not so widely purchased as here.

The heroine and her father are charming char- acters, and the young Jesuit priest is a strong and original conception, who, though causing much euffering, atones for much by suffering much himself, and making such reparation ashe can.

Correspondence of THE EvENixa Stan. RICHFIELD Sprines, July Q5th, 1884. It you want to be gay'in July this is the piace tocome. At almost every other inland water- ing place you will be told that it is never fall, or very lively until August. Here, on the contrary, the middle of July finds every hotel and boarding-house full to overflow- ing. When I arrived, on the 19th, I found that the Spring House, the largest hotel here, had all its rooms full and sixty persons colonized in cottages in neighboring streets, and the New American, the next in size, was “colonizing,” too. It is,on the whole, rather nice to be “colonized,” because the rooms are in private houses, and daintily fitted up with more home- like furniture and ornaments than one ever sees | in a hotel. As Richfield, while only a little over an hour's ride by rail from thisand the many railroads which pass through there, including the West Shore, is not on the way by which oneordinarily travels to other places, the people who come | here, as a rule, come to spen least a week, | and ‘generally longer. Transient visitors are very few indeed, so that boarders at all the hotels become well acquainted with those in the | same one with themselves, and at the others | and the cottages also. In respect to the amuse- ments, a spirit of communion prevails. The band ot music employed by the Spring house and New American piays alternately at each in the morning for a concert, aud alternates the same way in playing for the hops in the eve- ning. The dances always take place in the large parlor of one of these hotels, and these hops are exceedingly lively, The spirit of enjoyment, which I have observed to be most conspicuous by its absence in the most gorgeous of ball- rooms at certain fashionable watering-places, seems never to be lacking here. Somehow. people who come here do not ap- pear to be afraid of meeting doubtful persone, and even New Yorkers when at Richfield, seem less shy than elsewhere of being introduced to strangers. It isa fact that most of those who come here are on the same social plane, which is true also of the White Sniphur Springs, in West Virginia. In other respects as well. Rich- field reminds me more of a southern than a northern resort. It must bave at least one fancy dress ball each reason, which is a sine qua non at the south, and this year and last it has revived tournaments llkewise, which once were known only at the south. Other amusements than those named are equally frequent. Tennis contiuues to be the favorite out-door pastime. In the Spring House grounds are five tennis courts,and there are three in those of the New American hotel, opposite; one of which is the private prop- erty of Senor Dominguez’ sons and daughter, who, as their Washington friends are aware, are exceedingly fond of that gaine. Opportunity for archery practice is alko afforded at one of the hotels, Bowling, and even croquet holds its own here, while horseback riding and driving over excellent roads through a most picturesque country, boating on Candarago lake, which is only a mile away, pic nics on that luke, and Lake Otsego, which is further off, excursions to Cooperstown, via tally ho coach, and the many pastimes indulged by visitors to Rich- field. There is something going on all the time Wlerally. There were trotting races at the driving park, half a mile out of town, on last Saturday, and again Thuraday, while to-morrow there will be running races there. At other times this park is used as a riding school. I have rarely seen go inany large parties on horse- back anywhere as here. Nearly every afternoon several of them are seen.

The first of its class to reach us is a portly volume ot over five hundred payes, | | published by Thayer, Merriain & Co. Phila- deiphia, the text of which is from the pen of | Mr. William Ralston Balch, the author ot a Life of Garfield, and several other popular works. It gives a favorable idea of the charac- ter and career of Mr. Biaine, and though its | present interest lies largely in its value as a cvmpaign document, it has sufficient literary | | merit to give It a more permanent hold; though | | of course the haste with which it was prepared | left the author seint chance to appear at his best. In addition to the biography of Blaine, has a chapter of ‘Facts about our President: one on the “Women of the White House,” with a number of portraits, singularly enough inclu- | ding that of Mrs. Logan, and omitting that of | Mrs. Blaine; a short blographical sketch of General Logan, and a weil stated resume of the tariff question from a protectionist point of view. Another biography of the two republican candidates, by Thomas W. Knox, the well known writer, also covering some five hundred pages, has been issued by the Hartford Publishing Com- pany. Still others are announced. Mr. H. J. Ramedell, of this city, has for some time past been engaged on one, for the preparation of which he has enjoyed exceptional facilities, supplemented by close personal friendship and warm admiration for his distinguished subject. A fourth biography of the republican candidate, written by Mr. Charles Wolcott Balestier, 1s an- nounced for issue, in a few days, by ft. Worth- ington, the New York publisher. ' It 1s said that tnis volume has been read in proof by Mr. Blaine, and has his sanction as to its accuracy. Asketch of the life of General Logan will be appended. ‘The second and third numbers of D.

The Angler is the only paper in this country devoted whoily to the gentle sport, and well deserves the favor ot which these im- provements are such substantial evidences. “The Bassett Claim,” a story of life in Wash- ington, by Mr. Henry R, Elliot, of this city, will be published by the Putnams early in Sep- tember. The story appeared as a serial during the early part ef the summer%n the New York Commercial Advertiser, by whose readers it was received with exceptional tavor. Se eg A Vivit to an Industrial School. To the Editor of Taz Evextno Stan: "Tig agreeable sometimes to turn away from public buildings, from viewing beautiful parks, magnificent churches and bronze and marbie works of art, and peep into our workehips, our homes of industry, and see what our busy bees are doing. And one such place—the Metropoll- tan Industrial school, corner 19th and H streets northwest—has interested me much. There little ones, from the ages of five and six to four- teen and fifteen, are gathered together during the day to learn employments—to be- come familiar with home duties, so that they may be valuable workers and helpers in our city. Under the care of a kind teacher and matron they are taught to mafte themselves tidy and attractive, to put the house in order, to cook a good dinner, make bread, to sew, to read and write. Some are 60 small that they have to be cared for by older sisters, for thelr mothers are busy doing day’s work, feel- ing sure their children are safely housed and well cared for. In this school girls—and boys too—are taught a useful and very pleasant in- dustry in straw braiding. Several boys have braided straw sufficient for hats for tlremselves, and their sisters have sewn them. Most of the straw used is the Mackinaw, brought from Can- ada at considerable expense. me of the braids are woven into very pretty baskets, which are for sale at the rooms, Bread-making ig taught. The bread made by the matron is the very best home-made bread and finds a sendy sale. orders are received for hot breakfast rolls. Her cakes and pies are pro- nounced excellent. The proceeds of all sates maintain the school, which it is hoy Will in time be -self-supporting. The ies forming the school who are well known in our city, are doing a good work for poor little ones, teaching them useful employ- ments, that they may be able to take care of themselves by and by. There is room for more, and the ladies would be glad to have girls sent to the school to be instructed, HELPER. indicated that he was in excellent spirits. entertainment given there for the benetit ot the Village Improvement association, in which artists of great merit took part.

Ihave uever beard any scandal at Richtieid at all. PERSONAL MENTION. I met Washington friends, including those who, living elsewhere, are well known to most of its residents at everyturn. Admiral Almy and part of his family are still here. The wife and lovely young daughter of ex-Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, are at the Spring House. Serior Dominguez, the minister from the Argentine Kenublic, and his large and agreeable family, are at the American, as they were last year, and | also Mrs. McCeney and daughters and Miss Berry, and Miss Deford, of Baltimore, who visited Miss McCeney last winter. Mrs. Collins, of Washington, is at the Spring Honse. Mrs. Wm.’ P. Kellogg arrived at the Spring House from Worcester, Mass., on the 19th, with her little niece. Mrs. Myers, of New York. and her daughter, Mrs. Julian James, who both, last winter and the previous one, visited Mrs. Myers’ son, Lieut. Mason, and his wite, in Washington, are, as is their custom, spending the summer at Richfleld. Mrs. Van neselaer Berry, one of whose daughters is here, is visiting friends in New Jersey with her other daughter, and will come here In August. Miss Annie Almy, who had spent nearly a month here, left for Bar Harbor, Maine, last. Monday. Admiral Almy and his wife and younger daughter will go later in the season to Saratoga. Ex-Gov. Van Zandt, of Rhode Island, one of the regular visitors to Richfield. is at the Spring house. accompanied by his wife. He was speak- erof the Rhode Island house of representatives when Gov. Anthony was first elected United States Senator. The latter got the caucus nomination by only one vote majority, and that was cast by Mr. Van Zandt because of personal friendship, although the other candidates had nearly equal claims upon his consideration. The friendship of the two men continues unbroken and has lasted thirty or more years. Senator Anthony’s friends will regret to hear that recently he has had another severe attack of illness. This occurred on the 16th of the present month. The day previous he liad dic- tated a letter to a friend here, the tone of which He said then that he hoped to get to Saratoga in August and mentioned that hts health had been steadily improving, but that he was “as they say out west powertul weak.” Mr. and Mrs. Flood, of California, accom- peniea by thelr daughter, son and niece, Miss Follis, arrived here last week. Mr. Flood is not in good health and will stay here long enough to try the effects of the baths and mountain air. Miss Flood and her brother have since gone to New York. _ By the light of recent events Miss Flood and ‘her parents doubtless congratulate themselves that she es- caped marrying Mr. Ulysses Grant,to whom she was at one time engaged. The celerity with which that young man and his ners made ducks and drakes of Father-in-law Chaffee’s fortune shows what he could have done with the Flood millions. THE FOREIGN LEGATIONS. Tam reliably informed that the Russian gov- ernment has leased for five years the house in Washington which is now occupied by its lega- tion. This insures the stay of the present pop- ular minister and his charming family for a period, and should they leave this country the steamboat on Lake Otsezo, are a few of | ere readings given tonetiness. So now it is endorsed as a summer resort by three foreign ministers. SUMMER IN UTICA. Pausing In Utica on my way here, I noticed that its streets seemed remarkably full for those of acity late in July, and the open windows of the charming residences, and the ladies on the piazzas and lawns, made it evident that every- body was not out of town, by any means. A glance at the large gardens and — lawns around all the dwellings of well-to-do people showed why this was so—they had some of the pleasures of the country at their own doors. One of the spacious old houses standing on a corner facing the park is occupied by ex-Sena- tor Kernan and family. This has very large grounds, indeed, inthe rear; it has a charming outlook in all directions. Miss Kernan, who is so pleasantly remembered in Washington, and who was there in Mayas the guest of Miss Montgomery, on Rhode Island avenue, was at her home in Utica when I was there, but her mother was at Ocean Grove, N. J., where ex- Senator Kérnan went to join her shortly after He return from the democratic national conven- tion. Mrs. Oakman, formerly Miss Bessie Conkling. has taken a cottaze at Cazenovia, in this state, for the summer, where she has many relatives A private letter received by a friend here from Mrs. McElroy, the sister of the President, states that she and her daughter and Nellie Arthur will pass some weeks at Lake Mohonk. A private letter received here from a member of Speaker Carlisie’s family mentions that the Speaker and his wife and y in Covington (their hom y inst., having left Chicago the evening previous, and not having gone to Fortress Monroe at that time, as published. They expect to spend the summer at home, and when the campaign opens Mr. Carlisle will, of course, take part in it out- side of Kentucky. Miss GRUNDY. —s ‘3 CURIOUS W CASES. Former Slave Owners Leaving Their Property to Colored People. Lexington, Ky., Correspondence. Many of the owners of slaves that were liber- ated by the war have kept their former slaves as hired help. This is especially the case in Fay- ette and Bourbon counties in Kentuck: Now that the slave owners are growing old, and that many of them are dying off, the cases are nu- merous in which the former slaves or their off- j apriag are willed a part or allof the master’s property. In some of these cases the col- ored heirs are children of the white testator; | in most of them, however. they are not. This | making negroes the heirs 0? a white man’s prop- erty has given rise to litigation, In which the validity of such an inheritance has been tested. Acase in point has Just been decided in the Bourbon county courts. The slaves of John | Morris and wife continued to live with their _ former owners after they had become freed men. { Mrs. Morris diea three years ago, and left by will , to a former slave a house and lot which she held in her own right: some of Mrs. Morris’ relatives | declared their intention to contest this will. | Mr. Morris, the surviving husband, when he learned this, became 60 much incensed that he changed his will. cut off his complaining rela- st entirely, and willed the bulk of his | property to his former slaves. Very soon after | this he died. Jataes Morris, a brother, contested | the will, and Judge French and a jury, after a full hearing. have decided it valid. Quite a different case In its details is that respecting the will of James Case, a farmer who | before his death prepared a will and deed of half of his estate to his children by a colored mis- | tress. The estate was worth about $20,000. | While on his death-bed he recalled from the possession of the county clerk these documents, saying that he wished to make a codicil. He died very soon afterward, and the will cannot be found. The illegitimate children brought suit in the courts of Bourbon county to estab- lish their claim. The case is now on its second ‘hearing. One of the singular features in it is the attempt of the plaintiffs to prove that Dr. | Collins, who attended James Case in his last ill- | ness, had been bribed by tour of Case's relatives for $2,000 to destroy the will, and that one of | the relatives had failed to his share, £500, {and that Collins had sued him, thus exposing | the corrupt agreement.
