Those who attended were rewarded by a plensant evening speat under the trees. The picnic and camp Gre, as it was called, was held for the purpose, as publicly announced, of raising funds to defray the expenses of opening head- quarters at Detroit where the Grand Army delegation from this city can entertain their rcomrades and, at the same time, point out the advantages of holding the nextannual encamp- ment in this city. The Grand Army men will supplement the efforts made by the citizens and will do all in their power to bring the en- campment here next year. THE SPEECH MAKING. After the veterans had enjoyed the various pleasures of the park last evening and the younger element were beginning to tire of @ancing «call was sounded for assembly an nearly everybody came into hall. Dr. Hayes of the committee of arrangements called the meeting to order and eaid that the audience 8 would be entertained witha number of « in rogurd to the advantages of holding tl encampment in this city. It was expected some 300 Grand Army men from this city would attend the encampment at Detroit and each one ought to go prepared to convince every delegate he could reach that Washington was the place for the next encampment. The citi- zens have shown by their subscriptions that they aré prepured to receive the Grand Army veterans. A cordial invitation will be extended on the part of the citizens, and the comrades of the Grand Army should now co-operate in every way. DEPARTMENT COMMANDER PIPES. He introduced as the first speaker of the evening Department Commander Pipes, who made a good speech. He said that those who advocated Washington had an easy task when they came to speak of the advan es pousuased He was glad to way that the only by this cit thing needed to make the cause of Washington invulnerable was an expression of willingness ou the part of the citizeus to receive the com- rades. ‘Lhis expression had been made ina substantial way. The business interests have come forward grandly and have insured » hearty welcome to the veterans. He said that siuce the war no such display has been wit- newsed as will take place when the procession of the Grand Army passes up Pennsylvania avenue. Taere was no avenue equal to it in a demonstration. COL ©. PF. LINCOLN. In introducing Col Chas. P. Lincoln, the deputy commirsioncr of pensions, the chair- man referred tohim as @ possible national commander, and this reference to Col. Lincoln's y for the highest office in the gift of the Grand Army was received with the heartiest dewonsitration of applause from the audience. Col. Lincoin made a rattling speech and suid that it was unnecessary to state that the com- rades living in this city want their comrades throughout the country to come to the capital city which their efforts made possible. He poke eloquently of the great changes in the appearance of the city us contrasted with what He believed that were willing and anxious to come. ras needed Was an of town by express, 1427 New York ave.

Lasterening was the sixth anniversary of the Clerks’ Mutual Benefit and Protecti Association. and the meeting was the largest attended and the most enthusi- Sstic eld by this organization for many days. Felicitous speeches were made by Mr. E. W. Hamilton, W. A. Hungerford, James Jir- dinston, J.W. Brooke, H.C. Fisher, E. K. Plant and others. W. A. Hungerford is the only member now in the association who signed the articles cf incorporation six years ago. He was then anc is yet their recording secretary. The association has expended some $3,000 in sick benefits co its members and has only lost one member through death since its organization. Ite membership is now steadily increasing and arc four new mombers to be initiated at the next regular meeting. ‘The excursion com- mittee reported thut Miss Hattie Desmond had | sold the largest number of tickets (267) and Was therefore the winner of the handsome gold watch.

In the opinion of ex-Representative Yoder of Obic, who was the next speaker, this city is the most appropriate place to hold the next encampment. He sid that the sentiment in his state as far ashe knew is entirely in favor of this city. He pledged that if a proper in- Vitation is extended that the entire Ohio dele- gation would vote for Washington. He spoke of the grand work of the citizens’ committee and said that the members were the right men in the right places. These efforts, he added, had been backed up by the press’ of the city. He spoke of the issue of Tue Star of Suturday last and said that the account printed then of the city during the war and the surrounding battle fields showed a degree of intelligence and enterprise that was not exceeded in this country. He said that the reasons for holding the encampment in this city were too numer- ous to mention. They were evident to all who kner be past of the city and were acquainted Wits “8 present beauty and grandeur. OTHER ADDRESSES. In the opinion of Gen. Bain of Dlinois, who made an eloquent, effective speech, the old soldiers wanted to visit this city once more be- fore they died. The boys were getting gray and before many years the last salute would be fired over the grave of the last Grand Army man. It was natural that they should desire to visit the city which was the center of so many stirring and important events during the war— the city which they in mud and poverty, now the grandest, the most beautiful on the continent—she city which is the capital of the nadion and which they hel ‘The 1d to save. speaker was Kev. Mr. York, the de- partment chaplain. who said that he in common with all the comrades wanted to sce the as- sembling of the veterans of the war in this city. He believed that they would come and he was confident that they would always look back upon their stay in this city with only the pleasantest recollections. — Viewing the Kock Creek Pari. Yesterday the Rock Creek Park appraisers, Messrs. Harris, Seufferle and Burchell, got in another good days’ work in viewing the lands, going over and examining twelve of the parcels on the west side of Rock creek. ‘They met this morning at the Military road bridge and going over to the west side resumed their work.

Gettinger, a well-known car- penter and builder living at No. 721 12th street northwest, died this morning about 8:30 o'clock at the Emergency Hospital from the effect of injuries received about 8:40 o'clock this morn- ing by jumping from the second-story window of his residence. Mr. Gettinger was out of his mind at the time and for several days had been confined to his room by a severe attack of erysipelas in the head, which for atime com- pletely closed his eyes, and there is but little doubt that the disease reached his brain and rendered him temporarily insane. It was, as stated, about 3:40 o'clock this that he jumped from the window and the took mm tothe Emergency Hospital, where it was found that he was badly injured about head and that the case was jews.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Comrade’ Dudley's assertion in yesterday's Sram that members of his regiment and of other regiments of Gen. Wadsworth’s brigade helped the men of the twenty-first New York infantry to construct Fort Buffalo surprised me. I believe he was mistaken, and that they bad labored instead on Fort Upton and other fortifications of more or less importance that were built during the same period to help maintair, the advanced position gained vee ‘or: Union troops on September 28, 1861.

Sergeant Kerby has notified his men to be on the alert fora tall, slim and young mulatto who has been raiding the houses of colored people between Anacostia and Benning. He ‘on numerous occasions robbed these ple of small sume of ‘money and once, dn hothing of greater value workin Pallett diane ie irre Stuart and wife, an infirm colored couple, liy- ing on the Scaggs farm. He quietly went to bed here, slept all night and on, being discov- ered next morning by the old folks, broke by them and escaped into the woods. ‘The house of Fannie Chloe, on the Ridge road, was the scone of another of his exploits. The sergeant and men are exerting themselves to nab ANACOSTIA BOAT OLUB. The Anacostia Boat Club took a pleasant sail down the river last evening. Among the yachtemen were Messrs. J. Robey, Charles Stangier, J. Appich, jr., John Havenner, E. Shaw, A. King and D. Cavanaugh. This club will, during the remainder of the summer, give from Georgetown through Ballston to the site of Fort Buffalo on the crest of Upton Hill and in front of the Upton mansion occupied by Geu. Wadsworth’s headquarters. y statements in Tae Stam were based chiefly on accounts found in J. H. Mills’ “Chronicles of the Twenty-first New York In- fantry,” and not on particular recollections of my own. which had become hazy after the lapse of thirty years. Last evening I read all I couid find in that history bearing on the sub- ject, and did not discover a word to indicate that the statement objected to by Bir. Dudley ‘was erroneous. Having no regimental comrade near to con- fer with, and not wishing to delay a reply for correspondence with surviving members, or to consult records which are doubtless accessible and contain abundant ovidence, I happened to think of a diary I had kept in 1861 and had not opened for many years and {hunted it up. ‘Ihe entries, closely and finely penciled, are 0 blured that it is difficult to read some of them, but I deciphered enough to eettle the question. Nothing was found to combat my assertion until entry of October 10, '61, was reached, when this appeared: “Went out with the lett wing this a. m. to work in the trenches of the new fort. * * * The thirty-fiith regiment is at work with us on the fort,” and under date of October 18 appears: * * * “A party from the twenty-third New York regiment helped us at our end of the ditch.” Iam therefore convicted by my own words of making a misstatement. Honor to whom honor isdue. The glory of constructing Fort Buffalo must be shared with men of the twenty-third and thirty-fifth New York regiments. If men of any other organizutions assisted let them speak out in meeting. I am still of the opinion, however, that our men of the twenty-first regi ment performed most of the labor on Fort Buf- falo, else wy were wo privileged to name it I would quote freely from my diary a that might interest some of the readers of ‘1a Sran, but will not trespass on your space farther at this time. A. Pazsrom Duxxar, ‘Twenty-first New York Infantry. peti hee ealal Washington Beyond Competition. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘One of the most effective means to secure the national encampment of the G. A. R. for Wash- ington is to advertise the attractions of the city. Five or tex. thousand copies of an illus- truted paper such as last Saturday's Stan, freely distributed among the delegates and at the sev- eral beadquarters in Detroit, willdo mora than all the talk of committees, which, however, is also needed to state what the citizens are pre- pared to offer. Boston fairly flooded the eoun- try with such advertisements weeks before the seusion and when it came to a selection every- body was posted as to. ite attractions, Well- displayed cuts of the Capitul, Mount Vernon, the Arlington mansion, the monuments, &c., with the descriptions above referred to, will be hard to resist, and no other city can compete ‘with Washington in that line. ork Sun Motor vs. Tidal Motor, piniieoctos To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: Apropos uf a sun motor, which a writer in Tux Sran recently remarks upon, permit me to refer to a tidal motor as desirable and practicable substitute. Asun motor—if some investigator following in the footsteps of Ericsson should produce an effective one— would be far less efficient and reliable than one derived from tidal power. The formor would be subject to delays and stoppages by each passing cloud, by alternations of day and night, the recurreace of rainy and stormy seasons and other variable phenomena. Its eceentrici- ties would doubtless provoke many quips and censures in regard to the conduct of our weather bureau. ‘Tidal power, on the other hand, may be utilized without these drawbacks; it is as constant and certain as the daily revo- lutions of the earth. It isan unlimited unused power that is brought temptingly to our very P doors—and like many cheap things is disre- garded. It has been ‘receiving of late some leserved attention by a fow investigators. Without waiting for the exhaustion of our coal fields it is capable of being demonstrated as a present existing economic power, The problem is to determine the best mods of its application asa motor. Some ingenious schemes have been brouched, but none so far as yetknown have founda satisfactory solu- jon. ‘An expensive and complicated plant has been, so far as I know, the chief trouble. A French engineer has elaborated such a scheme and has figured out some degree of economy in its operation. He estimates for a tide of ten feet range a constant horse power of one and two-tenths per acre of a reservoir. This is a very low estimate—at least theorctically— of the rei power attainable. Ihave roughly computed the horse power of such s tide an find it to be equivalent to a constant horse Foarin the operation of machinery propeledby in the operat ry pro} ry it.
