If She Could Only Cook.

You have not changed, my Geraldine;
Your voice Is just rs sweet and low,
You are rs fairy-like in mein,
AS four and twenty months ago.
Since Hymen tied the fatal knot
I've baslSed within your glance's beam;
Your beauty has not dimmed II jot,
You realize poets dream.
A poet Graves for boundless love
And beauty OF the first degree
I'd do with less than that, my dove
I'm much more moderate than he.

The witchery of tone and look,

The Club.Housc Warming.

A large party of our best people gathered
at the National Fair grounds yesterday
afternoon to participate in the hOuse-warm-
ing of the new club cdifce. The occasion
was made very interesting by trotting, and
very good impromptu time was made. Star
Maid, Gilt Edge, Trump and Mischief were
entered in the race for 2:40. Mr.. O'Mcara's
Star Maid won both of the first heats with
case, but capered and broke on the third
and was passed by Dixie. She got her
head back for the fourth heat, however, and
busted around the track in elegant style.
No perfect time was kept, but Judge Black
burn timed Star Maid and fixed her best
mile ut 2:35.
There were six entries for the wagon race,
but Dixie was withdrawn and only five
Shareholder, Cracker Boy, Flora H., Dolly
Davis and Bessie Beach. Mr.. James Nor
row, the well-known driver of Crystal
style, and won three consecutive heats No
time was kept for this race.
Later in the afternoon Knox stallion
covered the track in 236.
The opening was splendid success, Mr..
Wallace J. Bedding, the new lessee, doing
the hOnOrs with ease and grace. The new
clubhouse will be kept open for the con-
venience of the public until after the annual
fair of the association in October.
= Too much credit cannot DO given by our
citizens and the public generally to the
officials of the National Fair Association,
who, by their energy and enterprise, have
started an institution ut the National Capt.
tai worthy of our metropolis in every re-
spcct and unexcelled by any in the country.

How to Make IA Necessity u Nuisance.

The complaints with reference to sweep
ing the streets during the afternoon have
been revived again. In no instance was
this nuisance more intolerable than yester-
day afternoon, when Pennsylvania avenue
was thronged with promenaders. The dust
was binding and choking, and pedestrians
and Others were loud in their denunciations
of the arrangement. Business men, too,
complained. The dust clouds ruined the
goods exposed in the front OF their stores.
Can not it be so arranged that this sweep.
ing can be dono after midnight, or at least
after o'clock in the evening?

Complaints of the Garbage Service.

Complaints are now being made of the in
thorities promised when the new contract
was made with Mr.. Draney that the COM
plants made last summer would have no
justification this summer Is the same ex-
cuse given this summer rs last ?-to wit
"That the watermelon and cantaleup
rinds are too much for the contractors
force. Persons have complained to our
reporter that there is sometimes an interval
of two weeks between the visits of the gar
bage men to residences, especially in the
eastern section of the city. 1t is also sub
ject of complaint that while most of the
alleys in the western and central portions
are kept cleaned and sprinkled with chlor-
idc Of lime, the unpaved alleys in the east.
ern section are utterly neglected and in a
fearfully filthy condition.
