The lower Mississippi levees are
standing strain today that would
have swept them out of existence SIX
or eight years ago. The end is not
vet, however, and the danger will
not have passed until the immense
discharge of the Arkansas has passed
down. Should the recent rains and
the lower streams hold the river up
to its present level until the Arkan-
sas waters reach Vicksburg it seems
hardly possible that the Louisiana
levees can stand the strain. Most
energetic efforts are being made every
where to meet danger as it presents
itself, and the communications now
established between the several leVee
systems greatly facilitates the organ
lied efforts of the state and federal
authorities. Should the river fall
without any serious break in the Ie-

works but give guarantee or the tu-

GO To THE RACES

On Tuesday next the Washington
Jockey Club will hold its opening race
meeting at its track near Bennings, and
on that day and the days following the
members Of the organization expect to
see demonstrated the fact that Wash
ington is not only appreciative of
efforts made, but is also capable of
sustaining an association formed TO en-
courage and perpetuate this particular
form of sport Less than two years
ago the National Jockey Club, in the
zenith of its prosperity and popularity,
was forced out of existence by another
organization desirous Of conducting the
race meetings.
The disastrous season that followed
seemed to indicate that racing as pop
ular amusement had ceased to exist in
this city, and with the close of the year
came the determination on the part of
those who had heretofore been inter-
ested to give up entirely all efforts to
maintain their organization and the de-
sire for equine development. Such
were the discouraging conditions under
which the present jockey club per-
fected its organization, but notwith-
standing all that had transpired the
club has since then gone steadily on
erecting buildings and perfecting ar
rangements for meeting TO be opened
Tuesday.
At the commencement of the work
two months ago the task contemplated
was prodigious. In sight of the results
accomplished the progress made Is
wonderful, and now there only remains
TO be seen whether or not the gentlemen
who have devoted their time and money
to the enterprise will be supported by the
sentiments of the community they rep
resent.
Whatever may be said of racing as
public amusement, for number of
years past its popularity with all classes
in this city has been apparent, aud the
anticipation of a generous public sup
port INDUCED in by the Jockey Club is
