As expected, n large number Of sporting men
were out on the Potomac this morning shoot

they began swarmlng over the river. In any
direction one could look would DO seon curls
Of smoke floating over tho marshes, followed
Immediately by the sharp crack OF tho shot
gun. Tho weather is In splendid condition

The illustrlous Martha Ward was again
placed In limbo last night. Martha Is OF
African nationality, but is remarkable for her
courage and physical power and obscene To-
quaciousness. During the humorous times

she has often seriously damaged his raiment,
and emitted profanity that would cause a
canal driver to blush. The lady has no regu-
lar hotel and was kindly escorted by OfIlcer
Barry TO the First Precinct Hostelry, whore
she could reposo previous to havinga woman's
rights controversy with judge Bundy on tho
constitutional rights OF vagrancy.
