YETER SPEAK I'LL OF 4 BROTHER.

Never sreak i'll of brother
Don't say word that is mean;
You'll find you have plenty to do
BY keeping your own hands clean.
Never speak i'll Of a brother
Because he's done this or that;
Perhaps, if you held the same dish,
You, TOO, would spill all the fat.
Never speak i'll of brother!
Let others speak as they will;
ffyou can say nothing that's good,
You'd better by far keep still.
Those who are eager to utter
All the vile SANDERS they hear,
Don't consider for moment
They're blasting a life most dear.
Never spesk i'll cfa brother
Pause and consider awhile
His heart may be buried in sorrow,
"Yet more than yours free from guile.
Darkness may hover about him,
leaving not one ray Of light;
Though clouds have darkened his pathway,
That brother may still be right.
We know not the heart, my brother
1t may be pure as the snow;
Then Judge not. oh judge not nnklndly,
Show charity here below
oh ne'er sreak i'll II Il brother,
Ne'er say one word that is mean;
You'll find YOU have plenty TO DO
If you keep your own hands clean.

PHILADELPHIA REGATTA,
Our Columblas Considered to Have Faii
Show.

At O'Clock this afternoon the cight-oared
shell race Tor the Sharpless cup will be rowed
over the National course on the Schuylkill.
The race isIQpep only to those invited and the
field of entries out of some fifty invitations
sent out, Is composed of four crews only--the
Crescents and college crews of Philadelphia,
the Atulantas OF New York, and the Colunbias
of Washington.
Among these the college crew Is the favorite
and is thought to be n pretty sure winner,
The men have been under the training of
Ellis Ward since January last and have uni
tormly shown great speed and endurance.
They are flushed with victory upon victory,
and nrc looked upon MS invincible. The Alta
lNntus, some years ago the champions of the
country, are rowing very strong while the
Crcsccnts are confident.
The Columbus, with crew hurriedly got
together tor this occasion, are laboring under
the disadvantage of having been so far without
II trainer this season, and while they show
wonderfully good torm-considering their lack
of coHching-dO not count upon n victory.
Advices received last night are to the effect
that they are determined TO make the crew
that wins row Il fast race, and II need surprise
no one If the record Is beaten. An irOn.thrOated
delegation of Columbias leave this morning
TO witness the race, and the Pennsylvania
hoU-rah hOO-rIh will not be the only cheer
heard ON the course.

A very considerable audience of invited
guests assembled last night at scribner's BIZ
cycle school, No. 1lOS street, to witness an
exhibition of fancy riding by Mr.. Edward Tay-
lor who Is the instructor of Mr.. Scribner's
school. The audience filled every chair in the
great loom, and there were present army and
navy and department officials merchants and
Journalists, club men and ladies, the latter
comprising nearly n half of those present. To
describe in detail one-hGlf the wonderful feats
performed by the graceful rider on his machine
would require far more space than could be
spared for II single subject, but among the most
wonderful was stopping while at full speed,
climbing down on trcadle and spokes and
lighting II cigar from the lamp hung within
the wheel, and then rcmounting and riding
swiftly away, without having once touched
foot or hand to the floor Riding Mt full speed,
and then coming suddenly to n full halt and
sitting as grim and still as the Mcpherson mon
umcnt before gliding away again, was one of
the most simple of the ieats, the most difficult,
perhaps, being that Inst given, of mounting II
machine on two common chairs, then mount.
ing the trcadle and balancing the machine and
self while he united handkerchief from the
wheel axle. These exhibitions are given
weekly, but only invited guests are admitted

The Metropolitan Railway Company Comes
Out with New Management.

The annual election of the board of directors
OF the Metropolitan Railroad company was
held yesterday afternoon at the Offices OF the
company, near = street bridge, and resulted in
the election of an entirely new board through.
out.
For considerable time past there has been
q growing dissatisfaction with the manage
ment Of affairs, and one strong element was
the opposition by the board to the proposed
extension of the road above the heights of
Georgetown toward Tennullytown. ltappcnrs
that II very large portion of the stock Is hcld
by u few persons and estates in Georgetown,
who are so related by business ties or marriage
that the holders were practically single
voice. The interest, which is controlled by
McSsrs. CammuCk, Dengla, Adler, Weaver, and
Beall has heretofore united forces with Mr.. j.:
W. Thompson, who was president OF the road
since its Incorporation about twenty years ago,
and.so kept the control of affairs III his hands.
Now, this is the dissatisfied interest, and
withdrawing from Mr.. Thompson, IL set up Il
new ticket, which was elected yesterday. The
vote for directors was rs follows II. d. Weaver,
$500; Daniel b. Clarke, S,7ji George w. Pear
