Hall Pleasants, president of the Civil Service Reform Aszocta- tion of Baltimore, and Mr, Wm. Platt, waited fitst on Secretary Lamar yesterday to protest sainst the appointment of Morris A. Thomas, The as spokesman, were us follows: First, that ‘homas had been presented by the graud for tampering with the ballot-box; Fr. Thomus Was a member of a stock brokers’ firm, who had recelved from Dr. Miltenberger, of Baltimore, $13,000 worth of pon bonds for sale, aud had sold them on the stock board and bad given Dr. Miltenberger acbeck, which proved worthless and has never been pald, Toere are other charges, among | then one from the German Bank. It is also charged that Mr. Thomas applied for a dis- charge under the bankrupt act, and it had been refused on grounds notereditable to the appli« cant, ‘ Mr, Findlay informed Secretary Lamar that such appointments would have @ bad effect pobtically in Maryland, and Ifthe present ap- pointment was allowed to stand the preten- Slons of the administration, of a desire for re form, would be received with scorn in that state. The delegation desired to know who Mr. ‘Thomas’ indorsers were. Secretary Lamar said he thought Mr. ton wes one ofthem. He thought the names of the indorsers wasa private matter. The ‘Secretary sald the case was underconsideration and decided action would be taken short ‘The delegation then went to the White House and had along interview with the President. ‘They stated the case to him, as they had done to ‘the Secretary.

A Series of Interesting Races. ‘The third annual Potomac river regatta is in Progress over the lower Potomac course—a mile and a half straight away—this afternoon as THE STAR goes to press. The races are con- ducted under the rules of the national associa- tion, and are all for handsome prizes. The Junior and senior singles’ individual medals are the prizes, while for the crew contests hand- Some club trophies, with colors, are offered, in addition to individual medals. The first race of the day, for senior fours, is for the champion- ship of the Potomac river, and has as trophies both THE STAR and Post cups. The former is a perpetual prize, in the possession of the Poto~ macs, and the latter must be won three times successively to insure ownership. It has been won twice previously by the Potomats. The Palmer cup is the club trophy for the gix Tace, and the Mason cup for the Junior four: race. While the program for today’s races 1s not 80 extensive as usual the interest displayed in the contests is none the less lively and every. thing points to a very successful regatta. It Was predicted that the crew races would be ticularly interesting, as many of the contest- ants were very equaily matched. In the senior four-oared race the only entries were the Wash- ingtons, Columblas and Potomaes, the latter being the well-known light-weight érew of the red shirts, It was very doubtful if this crew would start up toa late hour. With but little chance of competing with their heavier neigh- bors there was an evident desire to save one of the crew, Kearney, tor his single race with Smithson jater in the afternoon, The Poto- macs had the Virginia shore, the Columbias the center and the ‘Washin tons the Maryland shore. It was conceded that this race would beacloseone between the Washingtons and the Columbias, The recent victory of the former at Fortress Monroe gave them confi- denee, and bets of five to four on the Columbias were eed, taken. The Columbias felt that they had the fastest four they had yet turned out, and thought well of their chances in both the’ fours and gigs. Many thought that they would save themselves for the gig rar if the race for the fours should prove a desper- ate one, This the Columbias denied, however, steting that their level best would be done in the fours, as it was the championship of the river, and THE Star and Pos cups belonged with it, If the first race was hotly contesied, they said, their chances in the gigs would be materially lessened, as the men would feel the effects of the first race. In the Junior fouroared race the crews and their positions, numbering from the Vir- inia shore, are: Analostans, 1; Ariels, of Baltimore, 2; Potomacs, 3; and Columbias, 4. The Ariels felt satisfied with their chances and made themselves favorites in the betting last night. Their rowing since they have been here bas not, however, impressed the knowing ones, and Son bets were made against them to-day, The excelient record of the Analosians in pre- vious junior races led many to name them as winners. The Columbias and Potomacs were unknown quantitt ‘The gig race is looked upon as the race of the day. “The starters and their p.

"The Pennsylvanias have twice won the Palmer cup, and need but one | more victory to own it, Their crew has always rowed beautifully, and’ this wear they were as cunfidentas everof victory. The Columbias were favorites with them, but many knowing ones were much afraid « 101 ew, and conse- quently bought them in the pools at favorabie odds. “Those who bad seen the Unions row elsewhere knew what they could do, and those who hadn’t knew the Unions were satisfied with their own abiiities, or they wouldn't have journeyed to Washington. Since their arrival here they have only paddled when maichea, and they did that sc weil thatan idea of their lities when pushed could be easily ob- tained. ‘The only contestants in the senior singies are Kearney, of the Potomac Smithson of the Washingtons, with chances in favor of the lat- ter. In the junior sing! starters are son, Columbia; Baker, Washington; ) Potomacs; Bait, Pennsylvania, and L Rappahannock, of F i greatly in In consequence of the failure of the joint com- mittee to reach a sfuctory conclision With ‘d to the eight-oared and light weight races, | contests were droppéd from the program | and the hour for cotameneing ihe races was fixed for half past three o'clock.

As the hour for beginning the races approached spectators began arriving at the river front, and the river itseif was dotted with pleasure boats, mapy of which contained. ladies, who always take great interest in the annual regattas, Shortly aiter | two o'clock the tug E..D.

It consisted of the visitors from boat clubs of gother cities, the donors ot rizesand the officers of the local boat clubs. Nothing had occurred to indicate trouble or de- lay, so that when the word was given to start the first race promptly on time, every one was satisfied that the regatta would be a good one, and that the best men would win, ae The First Baptist Association.
