Unusual Activity Among the Local
Oar-mcn Last Night.

Rowing circles were more than
usually active last night The Poto.
macs had out three or four tours. Their
lightweight crew is moving very fast
The Columbus had out ~ many more.
The Columbia light weight this year is
a great crew. and the lightweight
race will prove rs exciting rs
any of the regatta. The Analos-
tan juniors went down river. In
fact they do most of their rowing on
the lower course. The crew is the best
junior the Analostans have ever had
but two of the men are perfectly green.
If there Is time between this and the
10th to get them catching together they
will give q fair account of themselves.
The Washingtons had out two crews
q senior and u junior The latter rOwCd
very we'll, considering the short time they
have been rowing Dcwdncy has entirely
recovered from his sickness. He is one Of
the best men In the club.
The Joint regatta committee will meet on
Monday night to arrange the order Of
races.

him, but under the circumstances he must
work harder than he ever worked for any
thing in his life, and his men will have to
play ball for all they are worth II will be
good game, though, this afternoon, rs
good or better than the Virginia games, but
the home boys want the Eatimorc's scalp,
and what the home boys want they must

1t has been suggested that Barnie take a

Mrs. SuttOn's Death.

The inquest upon Rebecca p. Sutton, Of
this city, who died last Tuesday of injuries
received in jumping from car of the Trac-
tion Company at Thi rty-iirst and Market
streets, Philadelphia, was concluded yestcr
day. The driver of the car, Leonard Wilen,
was examined and said that at the time of
the accident he was doing and suddenly
awoke to see a locomotive approaching. On
n signal from the ilagman he whipped up his
horses and crossed the track in safety. lie
did not know anything about the excitement
among the passengers, nor did he wait for
the signal of the conductor to 90 ahead, as
the conductor was not in front. lie admitted
that he violated the rules In that respect,
but said nearly all of the drivers did the same
thing. lie was doing, he explained, from
fatigue on account of the hard work and long
hours The physician who attended Mrs.
Sutton testified that death was caused by
gangrene brought on by thu injuries she had
received In their verdict the jury censured
the Traction Company for not enforcing the
rules and recommended that the driver be
held responsible.

CONTINUED SUCCESS.
Crowds Delighted with Aliens
Presentation of The MilSadO.-

Another large audience assembled at Al
laughs last evening to witness "The Mix
ado" The drop in the temperature made
the wearing of heavy Japanese robes more
endurable, and the performers were conse-
quently more at their ease. With each per-
formance the company improves in its rem
dering of the absurd work of the great Eng
fish humorists Every one appeared to
enter heartily into the sport of the piece,
and the most was made of every ridiculous
situation. Miss Beebe received handsome
bouquet and Miss Cooke was likewise hon
ored. Mr.. De LANCE, as usual, made the
hit Of the evening with the topical song, re-
heasing the best of those people who can
well be spared. THE CRITIC gave on Mon
day part of the song. The following called
out an encore:
There's the Niger serenader and the others of
his race,
And the piano organist,
I've got him on my list,
And the people who eat peppermint and puff
in your face,
They never would be mss'd,
They never would be mss'd.
Then the idiot who praises with enthusiastic
tone
AL centuries but this and every country but
And the lady from the provinces who dresses
like guy
And who doesn't think she waltZes but
would rather like to try
And that singular anomaly, the lady
novelist,
don't think she'd be miss'd,
I'm sure she'd not be miss'd.
The conception formed by the company
in general of the spirit and humor Of the
opera is decidedly creditable. Without eX-
Ception everyone grasped the full signiii-
canoe Of his role and the result was har-
monious and decidedly mirth-provokipg
performance. Only two more performances
are given. and the amusemcnt-lovlng public
should avail themselves OF these oppor-

SOUTH WASHINGTON.

The damage to the Arrowsmith, which
was caused by log being caught in the
paddle-wheels and bursting through the
casing on the starboard side on the return
trip last Wednesday, has been repaired and
the steamer left for Colonial Beach this
morning with large crowd on board. Dur
ing the panic which occurred on board at
the time of the accident, frankie Newton,
little fellow aged II years, credited himself
by an act Of bravery that will ever be re-
membered by those who witnessed IL. While
procuring life-preservers for his mother,
sisters and himself, he was attracted by the
cries Of n lady, who was holding a baby in
her arms. The little fellow jumped to the
ladys side and handed her the life-pre-
server he had secured for himself, and then
hurried TO his mother and sisters and gave
them each one. While securing another for
himself he witnessed Cowardly man
wrench the one from his mother. He was
unable to find another and returned to his
mothers side and calmly waited until he
learned that there was no danger
A repetition of the good temperance work

ceeded in organizing temperance union
