The Washington alumni of the Uriversity of Virginia held their anrual reunion last evening. Ther? were present more than a hundred of the graduates of the university with which the name of Thomas Jefferson is so closcly connected. The scene of the gathering was the handsome and. commodi- cus rouse of the: Washington Club, 1710 I street. In Heu~ of .the formal banquet which college men affect so much during the winter the sons of Virginia decided to hold an informal reunion in the shape of a “smoker.” It was-a thoroughly enjoy- able affair in every way, and the members ‘took full advantage of the opportunity to live over in conversation and reminiscences their well-loved Lygone college days. Eariy in the evening the annual election of officers of the association was held, re- sulting in the choice of the following: Pres- ident, Hilary A. Herbert; first vice presi- dent, William L. Wilson; second vice pres- ident, E. I. Renick; third vice president, W. D. Cabell; treasurer, Dr. L. W. Glazebrook; secretary, E. L. McClelland; executive committee, C. G. Lee, R. E. L. Preston, Dr. J. Clark, Thos. Nelson Page and Clarence ‘Thomas. Pleasant Time. The remainder of the evening was de- voted to a general reunion and all-around good time. In the big assembly hall on the tmain floor were set a number of tables laden with punch bowls and bottles of other more or less delectable beverages, and there wa an abundant supply of i At the end of the room salads, oysters and Kamptown Soshul Klub,” a organization made up of High students, rendered appropriate mu- andolins and guitars. To this ac- ‘ompaniment the crowd sang college songs until a late hour. Thece were no formal speeches at all, but a number of the mem- proved themselves capital story tell- ers. Vice President Stevenson took the lead and convulsed his hearers with some bright anecdotes and clever witticisms. Be? sides the Vice President the special guests of the the pre of Columbian University; Representative Curtis of New York and As- sistant Attorney General Dickinson. Those Present.

John Faunce, his son Percy of this city, and seven colored men were drowned rear Virginia Beach yesterday afternoon. The tragedy occurrred at Capt. Faunce’s fishery, about a mile and a quarter sovih of the Princess Anne Hotel and about mid- Way between life-saving ‘stations 2 and 3, too far for the life savers to render assist- ance in time. They were just putting out from the beach to set a net when a big wave struck the boat and turned it end over. Not one in the boat was saved. Two succeeded in getting on top of the boat and remained there about fifteen minutes, but they were washed off aad sank. The affair was witnessed fram the shore by John Faunce, another son of Capt. Faunce. As quickly as possible he put cut in a small boat with another man, but reached the scene too late. Perey Faunce'’s Body Found. Information has been received*here that the bodies of Percy Faunce and the two colored men were recovered this morn- ing a short distance from the place where the disaster occurred, aad the former's re- mains are expected to reach his home, 803 G street southwest, tonight. At the time the dispatch was sent from Norfolk this morning search was still be- ing made for the body of Capt. Faunce and the other lost men. Capt. Faunce was one of the most ex- perienced fishing men who sailed out of ‘Washington, and had followed the water al- most his entire life. He was a widower, and, with his two sons, Percy and John, resided with his sister, at 803 G street southwest. Mr. Faunce’s two brothers, who are also in the fishing business, left last evening for Norfolk as soon as they learned of the affair. —_——>___ OLEOMARGARINE CASES.

The White House grounds were thrown open to the children of Washington this afternoon in order to give them an oppor- tunity to enjoy their annual sport of egg- rolling, which the rain prevented on Easter Monday. The threatening clouds and the damp cendition of the grounds, however, prevented the attendance of anything like @ crowd, and the absence of music de- terred still more from yenturing out. There was a small group in the grounds, however, but the eggs present were extremely lim- ited in number. The older children amused themselves skipping rope and indulging in foot races, the chilly air necessitating ac- tive exercise. There were several police- men present, and on the roadway skirting the grounds was a fringe of fakirs, with candies, fruit and windmills as their stock in trade, who regarded the limited at- tendance with lugubrious expressions.

Hancock, which will oc- cupy the triangular reservation known as Market Space, at the junction of 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue, in this city, has Jed to considerable inquiry about.when the ceremonies of unveiling will be held. At a| recent meeting of the Second Army Corps Association the committee in-charge re- ported that the dedication would probably take place May 12, the anniversary of the battle of Spottsylvania. There are some who favor a later date. A great deal of in- terest is being: évinced in the occasion throughout the country, and in a recent is- sue of the Pensacola Daily News there was published the following: “An additional link in that fraternal chain now wound about the survivors of the late civil war,.bindmg the blue and gray in closer embrace,;ts promised in the dedication,-some time in June, ‘at Washing- ton and Gettysburg, of monuments to the memory of the late lamented Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock..Preparation for both events is going forward on an elaborate scale, and both have now the promise of a’ larger. at- -has ever heretofore characterized a‘similar occasion. Parties interested are striving to have | both dedications take place within two con- secutive days, to obviate the necessity of two trips by visitors from the more distant points, and it is probable that such a plan will be adopted. Nearly all the living prominent confederate officers have signi- fied their intention of participating, and these will doubtless be accompanied by delegations from numerous camps of con- federate veterans, many of whom cherish a Lappy remembrance of Gen. Hancock’s | voldierly qualities, his manliness and ccur- tesy,exhibited particularly while command- ing in West Mississippi. There is probably no Union general who, more than did Han- cock, commanded the esteem and admira- tion of the people of both sections, and the fact will doublless be duly attested in the ceremonies herein mentioned.” In a letter to The Evening Star Mr. Geo. B. Loud of W. S. Hancock Post, 250, G. A. R., Department of New York, who is chair- man of the committee which is arranging for an excursion to Washington and Get- tysburg at the time of the dedication, at Gettysburg, June 5, says that thousands will attend both the Washington and Get- tysburg dedications if they can be held on succeeding days, thus making it possible to have one grand excursion from all poiats east, west, north and south. Mr. Loud states that he has already received quite a number of communications from the west and south inquiring as to the dates of the dedications and the possibility of the writ- ers being able to attend both. —— Potomse Park wa. Riverside Park. To tae Editor of The Evening Star: Everybody is pleased to learn that Con- gress intends to rescue the reclaimed flats from the tramps and “crap shooters,” and convert them into a noble park. But I trust the mistake will not be made of christening the new acquisition by the humdrum and meaningless name of “Riverside Park,” in- stead of allowing it to receive the beautiful and appropriate name of “Potomac Park.” Among the numerous good: reasons against the proposition are these: 1. The land reclaimed is not on the river side, but lies within the original bed of the Potomac river, as it had done for centuries, until reclafmed by the government. There was something like fitness in giving that ame to the new park in New York city, for that land never was within the Hudson, and lies on its banks and from fifty to one hundred feet above its waters. Wie 2. It is not descriptive of the location, for the reason that Washington is situated at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacos- tia rivers, and the name does not inform a stranger which river ts referred to. 3. The name is perfectly commonplace, and unworthy of the grand enterprise tt represents, and of its location in the, mid-, stream of one of the most beautiful and majestic of American rivers, and in front of what is soon to become one of the most superb of national capitals. 4. The water that covered the now re- claimed land was part of the Potomac river. The shallow places when left un- covered at low tide were always known as the Potomac flats, and no reason can be conceived why the reclaimed Potomac flats should not now bear the name of the Po- tomac Park. 5. So many blunders have been made in cur national geographical nomenclature that it would be unpardonable to offend again in so conspicuous an instance as this. The Clinton, who filled the valley of the Mohawk with the worn-out names of an- cient cities should have no imitators in our day; certainly not in Congress. Think of the folly of fixing upon the homes of an inoffensive American people such names as Syracuse, Ilion, Troy, Utica or Athens, when beautiful Indian names, like Canan-. deigua and Oneida, were suggested by every natural object. There is no excuse for ever neglecting to use these grand historical names, except where it becomes appropriate to honor a great patriot by affixing his name to some enduring natural monument. If this city itself, and so many things with- in it, did not bear the name of the greatedt* of mankind, it would be appropriate to horor this reclaimed land and ourselves by calling it “Washington Park.” But noth- ing could be more entirely appropriate than that the grand park which our “River of Swans” will hold forever in its embrace should bear the euphonious name of its protector, and be called the Potomac Park; as our beautiful rolling lands that border the picturesque stream that enters the river at Georgetown bear its name and are known as “Rock Creek Park,” and the fu- ture reclamations in the Eastern branch will be known as “The Anacostia Park.”’ When we recall that Washington in his early manhood explored the Potomac to its head waters; that he crossed it with Brad- dock, and repeatedly afterward during the revolution; that he passed the greater part of his life at his stately home at Mount Vernon on its banks, and that his eyes rested for the last time on its beautiful waters before they were closed in death, it would seém almost as commemorative of Washington to call the new park by the beautiful name he loved so well as to be- stow upon it the very name of the father of his country. I hope the powerful influence of The Star will be exerted in advocacy of this suggestion. PHILO-POTOMAC. -————-__ 100 {t. boards for one dol lar, any length. F.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will The Star kindly say one word in be- half of the people of Washington who risk their limbs and lives almost every evening at Metzerott Hall owing to the inadequate stairway in the gallery? Night after night many of us have wondered why men and women—old and young—were not hurt severely enough to be carried from the building, and while the air is dense with indignation only a momentary embarrass- ment and a natural aversion to a “scene’ keeps not a few from vehemently express- ing themselves on the spot. if Mr. Stoddard could sit for half an hour in this part of the house, while an au- dience assembled for one of his delightful lectures. and see a score of people start down what is supposed to be an ordinarily constructed stairway, slip and plunge for- ward several times between the top and the bottom, he would be totally unfitted for the evening before him. And all, too, with- out even a sign at the head of the steps or a word of warning from one of the ushers. Is no one responsible for such a state of things in a building of its kind? And is there no redress for such an outrage upon @ generous publii? I know I but voice the feelings of two) or three hundred of peo- ple, and’I only ask The Star for space in ‘which to justify one.
