THEY do say that when the Osceola
Reveilte called Inspector Brown an
"old Tycoon" the air in Pompey
Smash grew sulphurous. A number
of persons thought the "army in
Flanders" had just got in and en-
camped at the spring; others that a
loud zephyr from a Clearfeld slack
pile had stolen through the windows,
and still others that
Brown had asserted cuss-
An oath they could not hear;
But they smelt it where they stood,
And damned the atmosphere.

Musical Festivals.

1t may not be known to our musical
public that the expenses of giving musical festi
walls in this country and i'll Europe are always
guaranteed beforehand by subscriptions, so that
no loss should be entailed upon the society or
those having the management of the festival.
This is the case with the New York Musical Fes-
tval and also the festival concert to be given in
Baltimore next week. The musical May festival
to be given by our Philharmonic Society at the
National Theatre on Friday and Saturday, 18th
and 14th win be an exception, the board of man
agement having decided to give the festival with
out asking guarantee for the expenses, believing
that our citizens, especially those who believe that
the Capital of the Nation should be the centre
of the Republic, will show by their presence at
this, the first musical festival ever attempted in
this city. that they appreciate the efforts of the
society. The artists engaged are the best in the
country and the chorus. under Professor Gloetz-
ner, who has been indefatigabl lie in his exertions
to make it the best, together with orchestra of
fifty first-class performers, Will make ensemble

UPON THE FLOOR
AN ANALOSTAN CHAT
Some Sharp Words About the Action of
the POfonnacs.


The action of the Potomac Boat Club
at their meeting on Wednesday night in indorsing
in such an emphatic manner the withdrawal of
| the club from the Amateur Association by their
representative at the recent meeting of the execu-
tive committee formed the topic of discussion in
| boating circles yesterday. The opinion had been
expressed that, while the club would indorse the
withdrawal from membership, yet they would de-
eide to enter the regatta. The positive withdrawal
of the club from all connection with the assoca-
ton or the regatta created considerable talk
Meeting Mr.. Ned Maundcr a prominent oarsman,
and member of the Analostan Club, reporter of
THE REPUBLICAN asked him what he thought of
the action of the Potomac Club
"Well," he said, al am surprised They are
pleading the baby act. But it is great deal better
for the regatta that they should withdraw. They
would like to break up the regatta and cause it to
be a failure, but they won't succeed"
But don't you think that, 49,. -, g s. =,
prt resident " - -''1 S'-'-''-'-l'
not II you mean by provocation the action of the
executive committee in refusing to take up the
question in dispute don't think that they have
If the association, at the request OF every club
should consider all the petty questions that are
constantly arising they would have to have sala-
ried officers to sit all the year around But, very
wisely they have drawn a line"
evil their withdrawal affect the success of the
regatta"
They evidently trying to throw cold water
on the affair, but they will not succeed The other
two clubs will be able think, to make it grand
success. OF course it would have been better ifall
the local clubs had been united in making the re-
gatta success. But now the other two clubs will
go into it more earnestly. 1 think that it would
have shown better spirit if the Potomacs had re-
Trained from announcing their action until the ar
engagements for the regatta had been completed,
and then if they desired, quietly withdraw. The
statement is not correct that this city the only
place where the regatta could be held. There was
a number of other places that wanted the regatta
but this city offered greater Inducements"
