Prospects of English and American Crews
Coming Together.

There seeris TO be no doubt that an English
university eight viii come to this country this
year and will row American crew. 1t Will
lot be a championship event, however The
action Of Harvard AID Yale in Withdrawing
from open rowing events renders impossible
an actual champion eight in this country. The
winner in each class at the regatta OF the Ma
tiOnaI Association OF Amateur Oarsmen is gem
orally acknowledged TO hold the title OF cham
pion but it Is an empty honor as lorg as fast
crews refrain from entering the national re-
gat:a-
Yale has been endeayoring to arrange a race
over the New London course between the win
ners OF the Yale-Ha-yard and Oxford Cam
bridge races bot there Is little probability of
the attempt succeeding The English uaiyer-
stiles prefer entering an Open event. ard IN
less Harvard and Yale will consent TO row in
the National Association regatta they have little

pals that the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen will have the entire management of

Oxford has not vet decided whether to accept
or not, but the general feeling in the varsity is
tina, we should only compete with either Har-
ward or Yale and one other university, and as
Yale has declined at all to compete in the re-
gatta no Oxford crew will probably compete.
Cambridge has. however, definitely accepted,

OLD POHICK CHURCH.

Preservation.

The Structure IL Still in n Good state of
Preservation.
A recently published statement that nothing
remains OF the old Pohick Church. Fairfax
county. Va, fer which George Washington
drew plans for its rebuilding in 1773. and the
statement that Sin a lonely. simple way the poor
folk within fifty miles of the place all gather to
the spot" and celebrate Washington's birthday.
caused considerable surprise to the residents in
the neighborhood OF the old church.
Rev. Samuel A. Wallis. rector of the old
church, writes 10 The STAR as follows respect
ing the publication referred to:
This statement is entirely erroneous. The
Pohick Church, for which George Washington
drew plans Is still standing firmly on its foun-
dations. The solid walls. eighteen inches thick,
are so well constructed that they will defy for
many generations, trust. the inroad5 of
time. The exterior of she church presents the
same appearance it did when Washington
drove up TO it regularly on Sundays in his
famous coach. The interior suffered severely
during the late war. All the woodwork was
destroyed except the cornice which is the only
interior work still existing from Washington 3
time. The roof was left in a ruinous condition
after the war, but the old tlmbers are still
there: well protected by Il covering OF good
shingles. About eighteen wears ago the church
WAS put in good repair. though not restored to
its original interior appearance. through the
kindness of gentleman then living in New
York city. Much needs to be done to restore the
church 10 its former antique interior. but it is
comfortable and properly cared for.
81 have been rector OF the church for the last
eleven years and half. During that period
service has been held every Sunday throughout
the year. with good and increasing congr ga
ton in regular attendance. Besides this there
is a large Sunday school of about serenty-ive
children. meeting before church every Sunday.

II have never known any gathering of 'the

birthday, nor has any one else in this neighbor-
hood. The writer of the article in question Is
evidently unfamiliar with the church and the
customs of the people"

NADER Is it necessary that the entire work
shall be completed before any assessment can

TO CORRECT ASSESSMENTS
Chief Roome of the special assessment di-
NlblOH HAS Cailcu dVeutlOn OF tQe CON-
missioners to the fact that the special assess
ments levied for curb and sidewalk on both
sides of Florida avenue east, on Brightwood
avenue and OH Nichols avenue were made under
the classification of improvements and repairs
under the act Of Congress approved July IA,
1892. As this work was not properly paid for
he recommends that the assessments be can
celed and new assessments made at once under
the proper act and classification, and that such
payments as have been made be transferred
from the erroneous account and credited upon
the corrected assessments.
MUST PAY FOR THE HOSE.
Chief Paris Of the fire department is not dis
posed to let the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company off without making them pay for the
$50 feet of hose destroyed by one Of its engines
on the 18th Of February, when 1t ran over three
sections near lexington, where the fire depart
ment was attending fire. The railroad COM
pany claimed that it was not to blame for the
accident. as the engine was upon the hose be-
fore it was seen. Chief Paris has presented
additional testimony to the effect that he sent
two men to flag the train and that they did all
in their power to bring the engine to stop,
but the engineer paid no attention to them.
