THE DELAY in the confirmation OF

that the negro element of the country's
population be officially recognized
certainly not, at least, until 1t has
been so recognized by giving negroes
Offices in the northern portion of this
country. The idea that should prevail
in the appointment ofthe foreign agents
of this government is that especial ap-
titude and fitness for the duties of such
positions, and the certainty that the APP
pointee would conduct his office in
conformity with the policy of the ad-
ministration, should dictate the nom

Novel Entertainment

In one of the beautiful rolling fields
of Mr.. Milton Murray's place, "Bleak
HILL" there was given on Thursday,
the 18th, by the ladies of the place, in
conjunction with their guests from
Washington and New York, most
novel entertainment.
A grand tournament was held in
which the riders were ladies. The
marshal was lady, and the opening
address was written by one lady and
delivered by another. The posts were
fifteen feet apart, the rings three inches
in diameter, the lances were made OF
aianthus wood, and the riders had
practiced one morning.
rode up and down the field with grace
and spirit, and charged the knights
with grand effect Habited in black
with scarf of pink, she moved thing
of beauty.
The address, written by Mrs. Girls
well, of Washington, deploring the
scarcity of wedding rings, and urging
upon the attentive knights the neces-
sity Of procuring substitutes OF some
sort, was delivered with telling effect
by Miss Frances Halk, and appreciat-
cd as heartily as either lady could have
desired.
The evening put on its most roseate
lines for the occasion. The company
"a chosen few was wreathed in smiles
land all things smiled suspicious"
The contestants were-Knight OF
Kent, Miss Gwendolen Gilchrist, OF
Washington, with dark blue habit and
scarf and rosette of red.
Knight of York, Miss A. NJ. The.
Duce, in black habit with scarf and ro-
settle of white.
Knight of Bleak Hill, Miss Guinea
Sci rry in black with yellow decorations,
and Knight of Good Luck, Miss Halle
Scurry, with black habit and blue trim
mings.
All four knights wore their scarfs
floating free from their hats, and had
saddle cloths to match.
Miss Gilchrist stood first in three
trimmings. Miss The. Duce, on balky-
horse, stood four in the same. The
Misses Scurry stood six TO six, making
tie. After three more trials between
the two, in which Miss Guinea Scurry
come out one ahead of her sister, she
was declared victor, and with mimi
table grace, bending from the saddle
she placed upon the noble head Of
Thomas Frost, of Marshall, a crown of
scarlet paranjumS
The other ladies followed suit, each
browning her favorite of the day.
Miss Halle Lenny singled out Mr..
Preston Luck, Miss Gilchrist shyly
crowned Mr.. Walter Cochran, both of
1Iiddleburg, and Miss The. Duce
complimented Mr.. Hunton Taylor.
As show of fair ladies and gallant
knights the tournament has never been
surpassed. As specimen of the fair
sex on horseback, it was most delight
some to the eye, and as an entertain
ment in burlesque it was simply mimi
table. May it be given us to see the
like again.

For his sake it is hoped the report NAV

immediate stoppage of that purchase
so necessary that he called the present
