Major Lydecker's Annual Report. PROGRESS OF THE WoKK ON THE EXTENSION OF THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT DURING THE PAST YEAR, Major Lydecker, U.S. A., the engineer Com- missioner of the District of Columbia, has trans- mitted to the chief of engineers his annual re- Port on the extension of the water supply of the District of Columbia, The report reviews the work done during the year on the dam at the Great Falls, the tunnel and the reservoir. At the beginning of the year the construction of the masonry dam had been commenced undera contract with C.T. Mathers, the con- struction of the tunnel under contract with Beckwith & Quackenbush, the work on the reser- volr under contract with Maloney & Gibson and the construction of the 4S and 75 inch mains and main connections for the purpose of intro- ducing the new water supply into the present system of mains, the latter work being carried on by day labor, THE WORK ON THE GREAT FALIS DAM consists of placing a fifteen-inch coping on the old dam across the Maryland channel, 1,034 feet long, and building a new dam across Conn’ und the Virginia channel 1,843. feet g- The construction of the most dificult deep-water portions of the dam, continued from the beginning of the fiscal year as rapidly as Possible, and was completed with the exception of the coping. The Conn’s island portion and some of the shallow-water work have been pleted. The time fixed by the contract for the completion of the dam was June 30th, 1885, but an extension of time until November Ast has been. |. The work already done and the material used have cost $81,881, of Which 358,513 was expended during the pres- enty ‘There remains to be bulit about 400 feet of the dam, averaging six feet in length, connecting the Conn’s island dam with the deep» water section of the Virginia channel, and 1,100 feet of coping has to. be placed. ‘The ap- propriation for this brauch of the work was FH5,151, and the un ended bulunce of 51 isdeemed suiticient to complete the work, THE WORK ON THE TUNNEL has been carried on with great skill, but the difficulties encountered render its completion within the time originally intended impossible, g0 the time has been extended to June 80,1886. The tunneling wien completed will be 20,715 ieet Jong, with normal cross-section of B2%_ id an average depth of 150 tcet ce of the ground. During the tof tunnel has been dug, making length of the excavation 13,498 feet, 743 feet_of which has been lined with wdoury. The five working shafts, varying 1m 58 to 160 feet in depth, and the three per- manent air shafis have been completed, and the cast and west shaft lined. “The ‘total cost of labor and material up to the present thne has been $418,125, of which $339,763 his year. ‘The orizinel appropriati tension of the acque- duct was $599,535. OF this sum $160,312 is still available. The cost of the work will be much greater than was at first timated, on account of the characte- rock encountered. A careful estimate pt. Symons shows that $395,000 addi- will be required for the completion of the . This necessity for an increase in the priation is due to the facts that the sbafts lo be sunk to a greater depth than was at supposed to reach zood rock; that a much greater proportion of the work has to be lined than was reckoned on, and the amount of exea- vation and masonry are greatly in excess of the ¢-iimates, owing to the variable and unsati- factory churacter of the rock encountered, Major Lydecker enclosed Capt. Symons’ mates, and urgently recommends an appropri thea of the amount he usks for, The present appropriation wiil be exhausted by February next, and any suspension of the work at that time would add greatly to the cost, THE NEW RESERVOIR. The construction of the new reservoir involves the excavation of 850,000 cubic yards of earth, which {s used in the construction of a massive earthen dam at the lower end of the valley in which the reservoir is located. ‘The side slopex f the dam are to be paved with dry stone, and the stream now flowing turough the site of the reservoir and all surface dratnaze is to be inter- ce) and excluded. The work has been slower in progress than contemplated by U contract, but has been well done, and there will be no evil results from the dekiy, as the reser voir can be of no use until the completion of the tunnel. The time for its completion bas been extended to July Ist, 1886. ‘The amount expended ou_the iar ix $200,590, of which $146.2 earthern dam Is now 27 priation for this we emuins unexpended $15u,- Insuflicient to complet he ropriation of $195,000 ons for this are mi rea in the bottom at are in many places un- and must be replaced by other 1, and excavations have to be made at greater depths at an additional cost, The stoue taken from the tunnel is found to be unfit tor other stone has ed. Tne original plan was to carry the seweraze through the bottom of the basin in pipes, but it has since beeu decided to carry it round, A larger force of engineers and super- intenglents is found necessary, also. It was first proposed to admit the water into the basi at but one point, but to secure a better cireula- tion of water, a more costly project bas been found necessary. All Ubese changes are con- approp hi sidered absolutely necessary to secure w pure witter Sup) she iy. An appropriation of $160,000 it be made; the additional amount of )00 being necessary for finishing the re- &e. struetion of the main connections has d.as fur as practicable before the rest of the work is completed, ‘About $162,406 has heen expended in this work, and a bulance of $2,004 remains, which will probably suffice tocomplete It, The pas ments for land condemned and used bave thus far amounted to $13,295 tor the tunnel; $207,- 246 for the reservoir, and $115 torthedam, IN A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT Major Lydecker says the amount estimated for the cost of maintaining the aqueduct and pre xerving the water trom pollution during the next fixeal year is $20,000, the customary ich the District revenues pay the is advised that the Dis- mtribute an amount is, and is not called law to provide for new works or tion ‘et present structures, to protect the water suppiy from Re lution.

THE EIGHT-OARED CREW GAINS NEW LAURELS. The final event of the national amateur row- ing regatta on the Charles river yesterday was the race for eightoared boats. There were but two entries—the Columbia crew, of this city, and screw from the Crescent club, of Boston. The race was @ very pretty one until very near the finish, when the Columbias shot ahead and crossed the line in 7.46%, which was five sec- onds ahead of the record. The New York Herald's report speaks of the elght-oared race won by the Columbia crew as follows: “One of the finest contests of the day, which was also one of the most exciting ever witnessed, and the fastest In the class ever rowed, was the eight-oared race between the Columbia crew, of Washington, and the Cres- cent crew, of Boston. An even start was made by the contesting crews, and they maintained even terms to within 100 yards of the finish, Not at any time during the race until nearing the finish did either crew have half a boat's length advantage over the other, and what ul advantage there was was shared alternate! When nearing the finish, however, the Colum- bia crew did some of the finest work ever wit- nessed in a similar contest. Their powerfal stroke fairly lifted their boat out of the water, and it was forced over the surface of the river like an arrow. Before the Crescent men had fairly bezan to respond the Columpbias had secured a lead of a length and a half, by which distance they won amid tremendous entht siasm, In 7m, 464s., beating the record by 5 Pehle The Crescents finished 2 seconds later”?
