Capt. Rossell's idea in asking for €10,000 with which to ereate a new avenue across the Eastern brauch is one that will touch a sympa- thetic chord in the breasts of horsemen. ‘ihe captain says there should be @ road on which owners of horses could speéd their auimais without violation of law, and this Minnesota avenue, extending from Pennsylvania avenue to Bounings grading, would be just the place.

The Two Oarsmen Row Over a Tri- Angular Course at River View. George Hosmer, the oarsman. defeated Wal- lace Ross in atwo-mile shell race at River View yesterday by about ten feet. There were over 2,500 people along the river banks to witness the race and hundreds more on steamers. sail boats and small craft, and # large partof the crowd was very much disgrantied at the easy style of both oarsmen, who pulled a slow stroke and finished with plenty of wind, Tho course ; wis triangular, there being two turns, this giving the best possible view of the race from the shores. The water was very still and all the conditions were perfect fora contest. In the absence of Mr. Richard Morgan, who had been decided upon as the referee, Mr, Clinton Smithson of the Potomac Cinb acted in that capacity. Mr. Reynolds of the Potomacs was Hosmer’s judge and Mr. O'Meara per- formed a similar service for Hoss, The first mile was made iy a fraction over five minutes, Hosmer turning first. Ross had led on the first stretch and he regained his position at the second turn, which was made in 7 minutes. On the home stretch, however, Hosmer pulled ahead and finished first, some one said that the time was 10.40, but the crowd came to the conclusion that either the timer was nervous or the course was short, for the time is very near the record, while the oarsmen pulled a rather slow stroke throughout the race. After the finish Ross assisted Capt. Paul Boyton in his aquatic exhibition. St. Matthew’s Church Jubilee. A large congregation attended the jubilee service yesterday morning at St, Matthew's Church, commemorating the fiftieth anniver- sary of the dedication of that edifice. The al- tar and chancel were richly decorated with flowers, leaves and fruits and on the right the cardinal’s throne was erected. Curdinal Gibbons celebrated pontitical. high mass and an elaborate musical program was rendered by the choir of the church under the leadership of Mr. L. E. Gannon, Rev. J. Havens Richards, 8. J., the president of Georgetown College, de- livered the sermon which was an interesting his torical discourse, The cardinal and the visiting priests dined with Dr, Chappelle after the ser- vices and in the late afternoon the cardinal re- turned to Baltimore. Solemn vespers were sung at 4:30 by Rev. Father Mackin, with Rev. E. A. Williams and Rev. 8. J. Kervick as deacon and sub-deacon, __.——___ Auction Sules of Real Estate. Walter B.

Arguments at Hagerstown on the Peti- tion of the Bondholders. At Hagerstown before Chief Justice Alvey, Saturday, counsel appeared and presented forms of a decree of sale, such as they desire to have passed by the court in the case of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, There was a hear- ing also on the petition filed by the bondhold- ers of 1844 asking the court to suspend the sale | of the canal to allow the bondholders of 1844 to take charge of the canal and to repair it and operate it as a waterway, and to appropriate the tolls and revenues to the payment of the bonds of 1844. The petitioners also ask the privilege of buying the bonds of 1878, that they may be subrogated toall the rights of the bond- holders of 1878. They also ask that the receiv- ers surrender to them all the canal property so that they may operate it. The majority bond- holders of 1878 answered the petition and said that they were willing to take the principal and interest on the bonds of 1878, and would trans- fer their bonds to them with the rights as prayed for in the petition, but the attorney general objected to this agreement in behalf of the state and said that by such an arrangement the state's interests would suffer. The Lond- holders of 1844 having a lien ou tolls and reve- nucs only will, in case of sale, be cut out en- tirely from the procecds of such sale. They now want the court to put them in the shoes of the bondholders of 1878, so that they may have the first lien on the canal. Mr, Cowen and At- torney General Whyte submitted to the court decrees for sale. The bondholders of 1844 recommended Gen, Johnson as a trustee, and the majority bondholders of 1878 H. H. Keedy. The board of public works has recommended the canal receivers and Mr. Thomas M. Lana- han, The court will not consider the decrees until it passes upon the petition. A FISHING CLUB'S ANNIVERSARY.
