SHARP RACE FOR AN UNDERGARNENT-The
peaceful citizens or street. between I'd and Sth
streets northwest. were startled out OF their
proprtety about twilight last night, By rather
amusing occurrence, which happened about as
follows: Two colOred women were engaged In
an animated conversation about something one
OF them being very tall and the other very
short The conversation increased In volume
OF tone until the DystanderS heard the short
one remark TO the long one, '.Iou have stolen
my petIicOat." The tall damsel repudiated the
insinuaticn with some heat, when the short one
again remarked, You have stolen my petucoat,
and you've got IL on now, and mean to have IL
of your back" An active skirmiSh ensued,
which resulted In the tall female breaking away
from her Iormentor and Scampering up the
street. The short female followed and gained.
The rather rapid walk became a trOt and rapidly
increased TO gallop, and the two soon dlSap-
peared IN the distance. followed by a constantly
increasing crowd OF all sorts The race was
rather long one, but the short damSel did not
give the tall one moment TO get her second

where she coTneTed her victim against the iron
