IS IT A GOOD LOCATION?
WASHINGTON CONSIDERED FOR THE
WORLDS FAIR.
The Site Is Good and There Are q Few
Other Advantages, but, on the Other
Hand, There Is Danger of Flood and
Malaria,
rspecial Correspondence.I


WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Capital city
wants the Worlds fair which is to be held in
commemoration of the discovery of America
by Columbus Like New York, Chicago and
St Louis, other aspirants for the honor,
Washington has both its advantages and dis
advantages There is the strength OF senti-
ment IN its favor, on the ground that II Is
the Federal city. Here centralized govern
ment reigns supreme. Congress, drawing its
membership from every state and territory,
is the common council, and the president,
elected by vote of the states, is mayor. Here
it is a great national government, instead of
local board, which hires the police. buys
new fire engines, orders streets to be paved.
1t is said the fact that the government of
Washington is federal would insure ample
protection for the rights and persons of all
visitors. But surely there can be no doubt
of the willingness and ability of any OF the
cities named, nor Of any other city il the
United States. for that matter, TO afford Wis
itors ali necessary protection in life, property
and the pursuit OF holiday happiness.

CAPT, VAN RABEN.

The Bradford club is not an old organiza-
ton, but its record speaks well for its proves.
1t first became prominent when Jake kilrain
won the junior sculling championship at the
association races of 1884. Last June the eight
oar crew won at Worcester, Mass, the New
England championship and defeated all com
petitors at the regatta at Boston on the Fourth
of July last Their boat was once used by
the Harvard crew in a calamity won race.
Their time at Pullman was IA. They were
captained by Mr. Cumming, a well known
oarSm2n.
The credit for the work of the Atlantas at
Pullman is said to be due largely to the great
care exercised by Capt. Van Raben, who did
not allow his men TO smoke and vetoed pie
and sweetmeatS. They were carefully trained
and in splendid form. The Bradfords were
in good shape when they arrived at Pullman,
but it Is said that they went in for a good
time after they got there.
The four cared contests were all well rowed,
and the single and double scull races were
lively and interesting. In fact the regatta,
despite unfavorable weather for part of the
time and the ubiquitous eel grass, was de-
cided sI1cCeSS

them fully. They thus offer enough resist
ance to prevent the walker from pushing
one foot backward while the other goes for
ward. Without them little progress could
be made. The bottom and top Of the shoes
are made Of wood, with an opening in the
latter just large enough to admit the pro-
feSsors foot. The sides are Of sheet copper
and each shoe contains an air tight compart-
ment furnishing the buoyancy necessary to
prevent the performer from sinking.
Oldrieve's first performance Of note con-
sisted of q seven mile walk to Nahant,
Mass, which he did in three hours and
half with both wind and tide against him
He has made many trips since then, several
times being obliged to abandon his shoes ard

His greatest feat SO far was a walk down
the Hudson river from Albany to New York.
lie did it on wager Of $500 that he could
walk the distance in six days. He left AL
bany at $50 q. III. on the 18th of November,
1888. The first day he made twenty-four
miles, and at the end Of the third day had
reached Poughkeepsie. There he was very
nearly worn out as well as discouraged, and,
to make matters worse, a physician, who
was called in, told him that it would be sure
death for him to continue under the existing
conditions of wind and weather.

action of the speediest horses were eagerly
discussed, and the winnings or losings OF
those who were foolish enough to bet were
discussed only by the betting class, which, as
has been intimated, was decidedly in the mi
nority.
That such state of affairs does not exist
among those who frequent the running
tracks in the vicinity of New York no one
will claim. The races are run for the book
makers, and the people who go to the races,
except on some red letter occasion, such as
the Brooklyn handicap or the Suburban, the
people who attend go to ''play the races"

HE WALKS ON THE WATER.
Professor O1drieye and His Ingenious
Aquatic Shoes.

Ed Hanlan, the oarsman, gained some
little notoriety few years ago by doing
what he called walking on the water" al
though he was by no means the first man TO
attempt it. Each foot was supported by
what was in reality nothing else than a small
boat. These floats or "shoes," as he called
them, were fully six feet long, and as wide as
the spread of his legs allowed. For some time
no one else took hold of the idea. Finally,
during the summer Of 1888, Charles W. Old
rieve, high wire performer at Ocean Beach,
decided to see what be could do in the aquatic
pedestrianism line.
His first shoes were not much smaller than
Hanlan's, but he has been experimenting
constantly since and now uses a pair only
two feet two inches long, ten inches wide and
fourteen inches Deep On the bottom of each

time out. He is one Of the Phillies' most
valuable players, and easily ranks as one of
the best pitchers in the League.
Last year Sanders RANKED fifth among the
thirty League pitchers, wiG an average Of L 81
per cent. Of earned runs off him to game
and a fielding percentage OF sos. His bat

Hatfield and A. B. Sanders.
NEW YORK'S ALL AROUND MAN.

That Is the Position Held by Hatfield.
Sanders Is One of the Crack Pitchers of
the Philadelphia Club-Sketch of Their
Professional Work.
Gilbert Hatfield is the general utility man
of the New York club, and can, with great
credit to himself, fill aly position on the
team, except, probably, that of catcher, says
the Clipper. He was born Jan. q, 1855, in
Hoboken, n. j., and is brother of Johnny
Hatfield, the once famous professional player
and the champion long distance thrower.
"Gil," as he is Familiarity called, began his
professional career in 1888, when he was with
the Metropolitan Reserves, they being located
first in Newark and afterwards in Hartford.
At that time he played second base for the
Reserves and made great record for himself.
At the beginning of the season of 1884 his
services were in great demand by the minor
league teams. but he accepted fattering

THE PFCORD-BREAKER.

The City Of Paris has justified the fondest
hopes Of her admirers. She had already the
fastest record from Queenstown TO Sandy
Hooks days % hours and minutes, made
on the trip ending here May last In July
she had narrow escape from surprising that
rnn. falling only three minutes short of the
time just given. But yesterday, only four
weeks later, she lowered her own record Of
Nav by hours and As minutes, bringing
the actual time Of the passage from Queens
town down TO days hours and / 8 minutes.
Large gains like this make one ready TO ask
where this shortening Of the time required to
cross the Atlantic will end. More than twenty
four hours have been saved on it in the last
seven years The Alaska made the trip in
1882 in 6 days 81 hours and 46 minutes, and
shortened that by hours before the year was
out. Then in 1884 the Oregon lowered that
record by hours, bringing it down to 6
days Il hours and 8 minutes. The next big
gain was by the Etruria in 1885, which made
the run in days 5 hours and 81 minutes.
Then for three years the Etrura and the I'M
bria, sister ships, held the lead between them
the latter lowering the record last year to 6
days hour and SO minutes. Then came the
new ocean queen.
How long will she reign? Each new achieve
ment&f the sort seems so wonderful that we
cannot conceive of it's being surpassed, and
yet in time the impossible happens. It may
be that the lines are being laid now for
the swift courser that shall wrest the flag from
the City of Paris. The triple-eXpansion en-
CINE and the twin screw have worked such
wonders that we take miracles as matter Of
course, and shall presently refuse to be sur
prised at anything. It is true enough that the
limit must be reached some time, but who will
be bold enough to say when that is to be?
