The FOURTH AT FAIRFAX -N0whe per-
haps was the Fourth more generally observed
than at Fairfax G. II. Early in the day car
riages, wagons aid every species OF conveyance
commenced pouring into BroadWater's grove,
ahou; one and half miles from the Court
House. on the Little River turnpike, and by noon
the grove was crowded with people from every
part OF the country. The band which had been
engaged in Washington, failed to appear IN
time, aud nothing was done towards the speak
log part OF the programme until about one
O'clock Meanwhile baskets we're brought out
aud everybody set to, to enjoy themselves IN
the gas,rouomica line. The residents of the
county, with their provcrbial hospitality. took
charge Of the strangers present and saw that
they wanted for nothiug calculated to make
man happy, 10 the way Of eating, ADD the soda
water fountain aud the spring Of excellent wa.
ter near the grove afforded ample MI
terial for slakipg the thirst. 10 fact so very
we'll were the wants of the visitors attended to
that one young man reports that he had four
different Invitations to due, from some of the
farest daughters of Fairfax, all of which he
intended to accept. but as he was too full tor
expression after the first one he had to wiring bls
heart by foregoing the rest. Shortly after
dinuer, the crowd gathered around the stand,
and meeting was organized presided over by
Judge James SaDgster. The meeting was
opeued with prayer by Rev. q. A. Joyce. lie
was followed by Lieut.. Governor Thomas, who
delivered an earnest and beautiful address,
skctchiug the history and progress ofthe coun-
ty in the past hundred years. After Gov
Thomas came General w. H. +. Lee, whose
speech was maloy eulogistc Of Washington
and the fathers of the republic. Both ad-
dresses were very eloquent, and were we'll re-
ccived. The Good Teuplars from Fairfax {.
H., were present, and their banners, together
with the Uuled States aud Virginia flags,
adorned the platform. Later in the evening
the band arrived from Washington and played
several beautiful airs. Their contract having
been abrngated by the failure to arrive 10 time,
collection was taken up for their benefit.
Among he pleasures of the day was game
of base bail between picked nine from this
city and nine from Fairfax q. b., 10 which
the AL xandriaus were victorious By score OF
81 to 4. 1t was the intention to have kept the
picuic up until late 10 the evening but heavy
thunder clouu, rising about five clock, broke
UP the party aud all repaired to their homes
much pleased with the days observances.
Several AlcxaudrlaDs we're prescott besides the
base ball players, most of whom returned 90
the Midland train, while others drove down
over the turnpike arriving here just as the
heavy rain copmcuced.

The HARBoR MAsTER.-Therc is 20 little
trouble to our shipping interests growing out
Of the resurrection to active life of the Office OF
Harbor Master at the recent election. Chas.
Elliott. who received all the 70 es cast Tor Har
Dor Master, has been sworn in by the Mayor,
and has appointed Jam IS T. Burnett deputy,
and fees ere now demanded by them of the
coal vessels reaching This port under PAIN OF
seizure. No Harbor Master bas been chosen
by the Council for many years. and the re-
gewal Of the demand for barber tees has
caused much vexaton among the coal vessels
coming here; and it is feared that it will drive
from our wharvcs still more Of the trade. The
shippers have all refused to pay the fees and
the coal agents here will sus ain them and test
the right of the so-caIled Harbor Master to en-
force collection q fees. As an instance OF the
damage done to our shipping interests 1t mav
be mentioned that the captain OF the schooner
Lemuel Hall, vessel carrying seven hundred
tons Of coal, which had made arrangements to
load here yesterday, upon being Informed OF
the demand for fees hauled off and went TO
Georgetown fora load.
Mr.. John Fl. Parrot, jr., agent OF the Amerl-
can Coal Company. consulted the Corporation
Attorney, this morning, and received the fol-
lowing written opinion:
ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 5, 1916.
John II, Parrot, esq:
DEAR SIR: Iu answer to your question as
to Harbor Master, am of opinion nat there
is, at present, 90 person entitled to act as Har
Dor Master, or to collect or receive the fees to
which that officer is entitled. The City Coun.
Gil has not elected or appointed such an officer
for several years, aud it alone has authority so
to do. Very truly yours,
