spurted three lengths ahead Of both.
The relative positions of the horses remained
unchanged up to half mile from home. where
SyIphine came TO tn. front with Ragotskv,
Fousi Iama and Callistrate in hot pursuit.
Eayensbury was shut in on the rail and was
thought to be out of the race, as Ragotsky
drew clear and seemed to be winning easily.
In next TO the last furlong. however, Ravens.
bury made desperate squirt, closed in on
Ragotsky and finished but short head behind
and two lengths ahead OF Caliistrate. Fousi

Is the Curtis School Safe?

To the Editor Of The Even ng star:
In view Of the appalling calamity Friday 1
desire to ask il it would not be advisable to in
quire Of the proper authorities what is the con-
dition Of the Curtis school house in George
town. 1t is commonly reported to be in an
unsafe condition. Some Of the scholars inform
me that the teachers will not allow two at a
time TO go up the steps. certainly not ii they
march in step. l am also informed that the
windows shake every time any one moves across
the floor. / believe the teacher has informed
the scholars that the steps may last q year or
tao longer with care. l do not know whether
the building is safe not, but there are many
besides myself who would lie to have an su-
thori;a;ive opinion on the subject from the
proper officer. BY publishing this YOU will

Safety Of the Patent Of2ce.

Suggestions and gossip have filed the air
since the great disaster Of Friday. Clerks in
all the departments have talkej OF little else.
They have also talked OF their own situation in
buildings which more or less have the reputa-
ton OF being unsafe. In this regard the west
wing Of the patent Office is freely mentioned.
and clerks In that building tell how, by actual
calculation, the northern portion OF this wing
carried load 60 per cent greater than the es:i-
mated strength Of the building allowed. These
clerks point out as significant fact that one
hour after the terrible accident on Friday
every available man around the building was
put to work removing The heavy files and ac-
emulation Of papers from this locally.

Frank Ives. the American champion billiard
player, told reporter in Paris yesterday that
he would not accept the challenge of John Rob-
erts, the English champion. recently defeated
by him, to play another match unless Roberts
first put up deposit. He should insist, he
said. that the pockets Of the table be cut
staight. He was confident that even with the
damned stroke barred he could beat Roberts,
but even so he would not return to London to
play unless the stakes should be made mus
ually large. Ives will open this evening his en-
Sasement at the ROYAL Club in Paris. His sal

The Nsvahoe, Royal Phelps Carrolrs speedy
yacht, sailed yesterday from Newport for Eng
land, with Mr.. Carroll on board Mr.. Carroll
is after, first and foremost, the Cape May and
Brenton Reef cups. which were presented to the
New York Yacht Club in 1872 by the commo-
dore that year and which were in tins possess
sion of the club until the year 1885, when Sir
Richard Sultan's Genesta then visited Us for
the Americas cup and. beaten by the Puritan,
won them both and carried them away in her
lockers to England. There they nave remained
ever since.
The course for the cup when held BY for
eign yacht Is from the Needles. Isle of Wight,
to and around a stake boat off the harbor Of
Cherbourg and return.
The building of the Navahoe shook England
to Its yachting center. Leaders of the sport
there Immediately cast about for a means to de-
feat the Yankee craft and her plucky owner.
The Prince of Wales first came to the rescue
and the Britannia is the result.
Mr.. A. ID. Clarke ordered the Sanitina and a
stock syndicate the Caliuna. The building Of
these crafts kindled anew the Yachting spirit
across the Atlantic. The Britannia thus far has
shown to better advantage than the Sanitina or
the Calluna, but it is early yet to form an opin-
ion Of their merits. yachts which are new
have very funny WAYS. and later on those that
seem at first like the worst OF failures become
leaders OF their classes and champions.

A Good Suggestion.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In the midst Of the terrible disaster which has
turned scores of happy homes into places OF
mourning, does it not become the thinking
men Of Washington to stand together and by
united effort prevent the occurrence Of Q ca
lamity which must be far more horrible than
the one we deplore today. In the H street wing
Of the government printing Office structure
braced and patched together in q way that
shows it should not be used Q day longer-are
Gro wded at this very day . thousand or more
workingmen and women. Not only that, but
ali around them is heavy machinery, mountains
Of public documents, tons Of type and scores Of
heavy. marble imposing stones. Think Of the
effect OF a sudden collapse Of all this! How
many think you, Of all these hundreds will es-
cape with their ivesf Let the business men of
Washington, let the clerks of the executive de-
partments. let the population OF the city unite
in q monster petition TO the President request
ing him to use his influence with the Congress,
soon TO assemble, to the end that new and safe
building be erected for the public printing. and
that In the meantime the death trap now in use
be cleared Of its occupants. who may tempo
rarily be placed in rented buildings that are not
in danger Of collapsing from this overweight.
Lot us do this. Mr.. Editor, and good may arise
even from the present appalling calamity.
