several Petitions Considered on
 Them to be Reported to the Court of
 Common Council.
 A meeting of the Committee on Claims was held last evening, Alderman Munson presid- ing.
 Parties in interest who were represent by R. S. Pickett, attorney, appe ared and asked for a refunding of interest for the ex- tension of Minor street Said improvement has not been carried out as ordered and they ask that they be placed on the same footing as those who have not paid and have receiv- ed an abatement through the action of the tax committee.
 Corporation Counsel DriscolI said to MT. Pickett that he did not see how the money could be refunded to those who had already paid.
 Mr. Pickett said it was only question of rightfulness on the part of the city in regard to the question whether those who have paid should not be placed on the same footing as those who have not paid. He read from the statutes of 1883 to show that no assessment or interest could be collected until the i'm provement was actually made and he claimed that was retrospective. He said in closing that these gentlemen were here ready to be heard in regard to their claims. Adam Miller and others appeared and stated that they paid their assessment seven or eight years ago. All they asked was an , abatement of the interest, the same as those who had not paid their assessments had re- ceived.
 Michael and Ellen Reardon asked for con- pensation for damages on account of the erection of Lamberton street bridge and change of grade. They asked for 5000. Emil Schonberger asked for compensation for damages to person by being thrown from a wagon on account of defective highway.

The North American Saengerfest.
 BUFFALO, July 1S.-The Bundis-Sitzung of the Nord Amerikanish Saengerbund was held this morning in Liedertafel Hall Each society was represented by two delegates, about two thousand representatives being present. President Louis Allege called the meeting to order and made an introductory speech, after which the reports of the officers were made. The financial statement showed surplus of $soO-which at Chicago was only SIG. The question of where the next place of meeting should be held excited a pro- tracted debate in which Chicago, Milwaukee @ aud St. Louis were advanced. The Chicago delegates protested against having the next fest held there because the last took place in that city. The Milwaukee delegates also ob jected on the ground that their hotel accom- modations were inadequate Only one Mill waukee society was represented. It was finally decided to hold the fest in Milwaukee. It will occur either two or three years from the present time. Resolutions were passed thanking the Buffalo singers for the hospital ties shown the visitors and for the vigor with which the arrangements have been made. Thanks were also rendered to the Buffalo press.
 The closing concerts of the Saengerfest oc- cured this afternoon and evening, and the success of the preceding festivals of instru mental melody attended these. In the afternoon Music Hall held four thousand people and the long programme was rendered in fine style. The solo parts were warmly applauded and the orchestral selections were splendid. This evening the ladies were fashionably dressed and the immense crowd presented fine appearance. The chorus comprised two thousand voices. The triumph of the evening was obtained by Mrs Wells B. Tanner, who was compelled to sing a second time Mozart's aria of the Queen of the Night. At the conclusion of the evenings concert the visiting singers were entertained at banquet given in the State arsenal by the Buffalo Saengerbund. The board of aldermen, prominent officials and influential citizens were present.

Watkins, when will make you row faster than you ever have at one time" The two men shook their fists in each others faces' calling hard names. The trouble was started by Hanlan largely on account of Oourtney's enthusiastic reception, but Courtney says the affair must end in race. Many believe it was prearranged as an excuse for another race between the men.
 The water continued rough all day until evening. After o'clock the wind died away, the water became smooth and the ref cree, John E. Eustis, started the men at G:5s. Hanlan sprang at once to the fore and was never afterward either headed or hurried Ross pulled as if he had an anchor dragging after him. Despite Hanlan's protest Courtney acted as Ross'Gudge on the referees boat. As Hanlan drew up alongside the referees boat at the finish he cried out: "Bring out that big fellow Courtney now and I'll beat him '' Courtney, who stood near the tafrail of the ref eree's boat, made no reply, however. After having dressed both contestants re- they were called to the balcony by the crowd. Hanlan said that he was pleased at having won therace, but regretted having beaten Ross so badly. That had OS0A AOAc1 AC ooAO, AA0OAoAOAS0 " sAS W1SA]SS of his friends, who had desired him to lover the record. Ross spoke briefly. Ref cree Curtis certified the course. distance and time to the people, having supervised care fully the survey made before the race was begun. This was important as Hsnlan's performance lowers the record nearly nine seconds, the best having been that of Davis in 28 minutes 5.6 seconds. The following is the time in detail: First half mile 3.15. first mile TOT, first half second mile 1O.5S, sec- ond mile 14.124. Hanlan turned the stake boat in seven seconds and Ross twenty-four seconds. On the return he concluded the first half of the third mile in 17.34, third mile in 29, first half of the fourth mile 23.38, finishing in 27.57 1 ?. Ross crossed the line AT 1-2 seconds later in 28 minutes, 45 seconds.

The Presidents Vacation At Present COnGn1ng Himself Closely to Busi- ness-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, July 19.-The President has not yet determined upon any plan for an ex-
 cursion prior to the first of August, when he
 will go to the Yellowstone Park, but is
 watching public business very closely. He
 would like to take short sea voyage on the Dispatch, starting Friday after business closes and remaining till Tuesday, although he would probably not go further than Nor folk. It is doubtful if he will be able to
 visit Newport or any other watering place on the New England coast this season, but if he leaves Washington at all he will not leave Chesapeake Bay. The President is very much pleased with Fortress Monroe and it's surroundings and it is likely that he will spend next Sunday at that place. The Dis patch meanwhile is in readiness to leave the navy yard at an hours notice.
 Vouchers were filed in the Hill investiga- tion for contracts which had not been adver- tised although the vouchers were all prompt ly paid. At this afternoons session roofing contracts were considered. Chairman New is still of the opinion that the hearing will be concluded this week
