Boating Oh the Potomac,

The boating season has commenced in
earnest, and every evening the upper
Potomac is covered with all kinds of
water craft. Besides the private boats
and canoes which may be seen any even
ing loaded with pleasure-seekers, there
are four small steamers which ply
between Cumberlands and the Chain
Bridge. These boats are crowded with
passengers, who take this method of es-
Gaping from the warm summer evenings
in the city.
The Free Bridge is great resort on
Sunday, and both lines of cars are
crowded to oyerflowing on that day.
Last week over 10000 people crossed this
new thoroughfare over the Potomac. The
landings belonging to the various boat
clubs are resorted to nearly every night,
and the merry-making is kept up until a
late hour.
The recent amalgamation of the two
canoe clubs into q local association Will
give needed impetus to canoeing in the
District, which was beginning to flag.
There is every indication now OF thor
ough revival of canoeing interests in
Washington, which will be second 10 no
other city in this respect. A regatta will
shortly be held to show the skill of the
active and expert disciples of Robinson
Crusoe, to be followed by other aquatic
events in the future.
Altogether the outlook for genuine
and widespread interest in aquatic mat.
tiers this season is most promising.
Mr.. John NJ. Biddle, while fishing near
Chain Bridge recently, caught fine male
shad, weighing over four pounds, with q
hook baited with a worm.

PEOPLE,.

A London tailor's dictum was that
he could take meal sack and make
a suit Of clothes worthy of gentle
mans wearing if the fit was right.
Gentlemen have fancies in dressing.
One goes for something SNOWY, an
other expressly calls for special
weave, and so on. But the particular
points of suit are fit and style. Ma
terial and making may be ever so
good, but condemnation will be swift
if there be failure in fit and style.
In these two points our stock of suits
for business and everyday wear full
fills the highest ideals of dress; with
due attention given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfectness of making,
and, above all, with the wit Of the
clothier--his Misunderstanding at
its brightest, in the tone of fashion
reigning in them, impalpably, dis
tinctly stamping them as stylish and
| faultless in fit We eXtol these less
highly than a gentleman would in ex-
amining them. They are ready
made, and at prices OF ready-made.
You'll be likely to think them above
the average of custom work when you
see them.

A Car and Cart Collide.

a collision between Belt Line car and
two-horse brick cart occurred at First
and Il streets last Saturday. The pole Of
the wagon was driven through the side of
the car and carried away several windows
and grazed the head of an old lady. The
driver said that he had to run on time
and he could not wait for wagons. 1t
was shown that the cart driver did all he
could to stop his team. In the Police
Court this morning Judge Miller said that
he was not to blame and discharged him.
