them agreeably by and by. We are not easily
discouraged. / am very much pleased over the
interest taken in army nurses, and hope every
Post and Corps will take an interest in the
matter and contribute something for their sup
port. The ladies of Eau Claire were talking of
organizing Corps in that place, but the Post
voted it down, and they were very much dis
appointed. There is enough enthusiasm among
the ladies of that place to have a very success

Port Townsend and COlfax.

Lively Times at Hamilton Park = The

Hague third The race between Hamilton, Yale 'S6, E. Norton. of Harvard, and Maxwell 'S5 was the prettiest of the day. Hamilton won in 3:o5 Is. Norton's time was 3:1o 3-4.
 Hamilton at once entered the five mile handicap with 30 seconds handicap. 0. S. Ffske. of Springfield, followed with seconds, but took header at the start and dropped out as the backbone of his machine was strained. W.

Maxwell and Tracy kept together, well in the lead for three laps, and then by hard work Maxwell drew away from his opponent and crossed the line in .6:39, two hundred yards ahead of Tracy and 8 quarter of a mile ahead of the others, who were too heavily handicapped.

Hen- dee got slight lead at the start and for the first four laps the interest centered on the contest between Fiske and Frazier. Fiske dropped out when Frazier passed him and pushing on began to dog Hendee. They rolled of lap after lap with scarcely foot of space between their wheels, but on the last hundred yards Hendee forged ahead on magnificent spurt. leaving his well built and powerful opponent in f1ns style, and won in 17. 40 by 20 yards.

 WAsHNeroN, May 29-Colopel J. O. F. Burnside, d1sbursing flee PostofRce depart ment, was this morning summarily dismissed from office and placed under arrest. An ex animation of his books which has been in progress for the past few days reveals the fact that he has embedded $45,71S of gov ernment funds. This amount will doubtless increase as the examination proceeds, as his accounts have not been fully audited by the Treasury department since 1881: His bond is $9O. 900, but is not considered sufficient to make good the embszzlement. His bonds men are N. l.. Je ffreys, the estate of E. c. Ingersoll and the Hastings estate. Colonel Burnside is commander of the Nationsl rifles. Of late he has been engaged in oil speculation and upon his representation many of the leading officials of the Postoffoe department invested. It is a singular coin cidenee that his immediate predecessors Messrs McCartney and Armstrong, were also defaulters.
 A preliminary hearing was had before United States Commissioner Mills this after noon, when Burnside was charged with em- bezzling $45. 900 belonging to the United States and bail was fixed at that sum. Up to a late hour tonight Burnside was unable to secure bonds.
