Among the things most required

rope ladders, or chains are attached there
to, one in EACH groove of the drum. To
these ropes or chains adjustable seats are
suspended by means OF hooks.

on the track. Hodgson retired from the track
at 2;3O p. M, at the end of his forty.sc venth
mile. few minutes later Heron, who was
the favorite among the b, ting men, withdrew,
his score then standing ffty-ihree miles. At
S30p. M. Douglass aud Crawford retired from
the track, the former having completed eighty
seven and the latter cighty-hvo miles. Post
and salisbury were then the only con-
testauts left, aud us the former had
n lead of five miles, there was no
doubt MS to the termination of tho race
At o'clock Salisbury completed 100 miles
and retired from the track. Post, who then
had 1O5 miles to his credit, logged on for an
other half an hour aud completed hi 10Sth milo
before leaving the track. Post received many
presents OF flowers during the evening While
making his last mile he was presented with
two large hOrsc-shocs made OF flowers, by Mr.
Andrew Smith, in behalf of the om-
ployees of tho Government Printing
office. Before Salisbury left the track,
Post performed very graceful act. A beau
tiful basket of flowers was given to
Post, and ovcrtakimg Salisbury, lie presented
the basket to his plucky adversary. After the

suit of the contest, Informed thcs3ectators that
lie could easily have made ll0 miles, but by so
doing, under the rules of the contest, he would
have prevented all his competitors from shar-

An interesting incident in connection with
the match was tho performance of "Baby
Mine" by the band, with particular reference
to an event which occurred at Posts house
while lie was on the track. Hodgsou has
challenged Post to another contest within
sixty days, but it is not probable Post will &C.

Crawford and Douglass will divide the third
money. Post has been severely criticised by
sporting men for leaving the track when
lie did, as mauy bets were made that he
would make 110 miles. Posts motives were
OF the most magnanimous nature as he de-
sired to remove the sting of defeat by letting
his adversaries share with him the proceeds of

The Regntta aud the Fair.


A meeting of the joint committee having
charge of the Analostan-P Potomac regatta was
held at the Arlington Hotel Saturday night.
Mr.. Mc1lhenny, OF the Aualostlns, presided,
with Mr.. Gibson, of the Potomac, rs secretary.
The other members present were Messrs.
Roberts and Hollister, of the Potomacs and
Marshall, Noyes, McKenny and Maunder, of tho
Analostans. Major Twining was present in an
unofficial capacity. The special object of of the
meeting was to consider the proposition to post
ponc the regatta arranged for the 18th until
some time during the approaching National
fair. Mr.. McKenny, in announcing the presence
Of Major Twining, stated that he was there
only as au individual, and not as a representa-
tive of the Fair Association, to offer to their
consideration the proposition to postpone the
regatta. He said that Maj Twning had al
ready secured number of subscriptions
toward defraying the expense of Offering suit
able prizes. A general discussion followed,
in which all the gentlemen present expressed
themselves in favor of the proposed postpone
ment. 1t was proposed to offer cup to be an
uually rowod for on the Potomac by four
cared crews. Messrs Gibson and Marshall
were appointed committee to correspond
with clubs in Baltimore, Philadelphia
and other cities, and invite them to
send four-Oared crews TO take part in the
regatta. Mr. Roberts suggested that prize
be offered for single-sculcrs in the home clubs,
TO DC rONeu lOr oy mcn VINO nave never won
race. He thought this would tend to en-.
courage the younger members of the clubs.
Without coming to decision in reference to
the question of postponement the committee
adjourned until next Thursday night. The
action of the committee at that time
will depend largely upon the responses re-
ceived to tho invitations sent out Of the city
by Messrs. Marshall and Gibson. 1t is pro-
posed, in case the postponement Is effected, to
lOll tho rpunttn lptWpnn the running nnH
trottng meetings of the National fair. The
boating men are very much interested in the
project, as they believe it will put new life

same crowd, who escaped during the
first row, met at the corner of II
and North Capitol streets yesterday afternoon
to discuss the merits Of the men locked up.
They began to warm up with the discussion,
and finally started a fight on their own ac-
count. Officer Fisher iu attempting to arrest
the ringleader, one Thomas Droncy, was sot
upon by the entire party, who attempted TO
rescue the prisoner. The officer blew for
assistance, and Lieutenant Austin, accompanied
by squad Of officers, quickly responded. The
crowd scattered, but the following we're not
fast enough to get away: Michael Lynch,
Samuel Ward and Michel Herring. Fisher,
meanwhile, had quieted his man and took lhin
to the station. The balance Of the rioters were
