and the people leaned over the taffrail to read
their fortunes in the eddies and the ripples OF
the tide or watched the city lights TIL they grew
so dim that only faint, silvery halo told where
washington lay. The young folks acted as
young folks always act and fond thoughts were
translated into smiles and bushes. Converse
sparhed, dancing reigned, and courtShip flour
lshed. The hours seemed stolen out of Paradise
Arriving at River View scores OF feet pranced
In rhythm TO the measures of the band, and
cheeks tingled with the enthusiasm of the
ume. Men and maidenS pranked with gravity
on the roller coaster; played Centaur on the
lying horses and invaded the sylvan shades
and leaf-roofed dell OF that happy riverside
resort The bar siZzled a refreshing tune, and
the electric lamps made acres Of monday
shine forth from the somber night
A substantial supper was served, and Mr.
Archibald Greenlees, in his position chair
man OF the committee on entertainment, acted
as master of ceremonies, and bade the guests
welcome in warm and hospitable words. He
was responded TO by everybody with applause
The up trip was made with tho usual incidents

Shortly after o'clock the Maryland delegation
appeared, accompanied by two bands and a

of Baltimore. The Knights Immediately re-
paired 10 the banquet hall, where a collation.

200 officers to keep the sightseers in order. As
1t was, however, the crowd was excellently well
behaved, and outside of the Low incident not an
arrest was made.
Evidently Matthews was not yet satisfied with
his treatment OF Mr.. Low for as parting shot
he struck Low In the face with his open hand,
causing tho blood o,now
tremendous excitement was caused by the
occurrence, and for time il looked as though
serious trouble would follow. Finally, however,
Officer Doyle released Mr. Low and this seemed

the heat during the parade, but prompt at

Several losses by theft reported at tho
detective bureau yesterday. A delegation of
eight Pythians called and said that three OF them
had been robbed of 500 ut the Hotel Enrich dur
ing the night previous
John w. Leasure, of Latrobe Pa, told of the
loss of q X. of 2. uniform, and Richard Brown,
an old soldier, of Hampton, Va, reported being
robbed OF $40 in house in Louise alley. He
said that those who robbed him afterw ard gave
him back $50, and William Breuninger stated
that his store had been robbed of a diamond
ring, probably by some expert thief who called
with pretended view TO purchase.

IT WAS A SUCCESS.

CASUALTIES OF THE DAY.
Unprovoked Clubbing bv Policeman
Eight Knights Overcome by the Heat.

Unprovoked Clubbing bv Policeman
Eight Knights Overcome by the Heat.
A most distressing feature and the only Incl
dent which seriously marred the parade was
the clubbing by Mounted onicer Matthews, Of
the Eighth precinct, of Mr.. A. II. Low, of No.
1911 Tenth street northwest, which. occurred
near the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Fifteenth street, Immediately opposite the re-
viewing stand
The absence of ropes or wires made encroach-
ment upon the street by the crowds of people
along the line comparatively easy, and at this
point several ladies had gotten out in the street
little in advance of the line,
just then Mounted Policeman Matthews came
dashing heedlessly along. Seeing the danger
TO which the ladies were exposed, Mr.. Low
threw up his hand, and by taking held of the
animal S bridal stopped ii. AS he did 50 Officer
Matthews struck Mr.. Low over the head with his
club He then handed Mr.. Low over to Police
man Doyle, also of the Eighth precinct, pre-
sumably to be sent to the station-house.
The handling of the crowds by the police au-
thorities was not executed as well as ON some
previous occasions, but this is possibly attribut-
able in some degree TO the fact that the same
facilities were not attainable yesterday. There
was already stated no rOping or wiring of the
Ayeaus and taeEs were teWer peli9emep On

WHAT BUSINESS MEN SAY.

B. M. BRIDGET, OF PARKER, BRIDGET & Co.:
''We expect good lively fall trade, and have

ARTHUR G. MOSES OF W. B. MOSES & Sons:
'Birch is going to be very popular this fan as
one o the light woods and it will run oak hard
for chamber and dining-room suites Oak is
always popular, and of Course is one Of the
standbys in the furniture trade, but during the

AN EPIDEMIC OF EucKsrERs.

EDITOR TINES: am q visiting knight from
small city in the West On Saturday took
lodgings for myself and wife in what believe
you call the northeast section Of your city. On
Monday morning We were awakened by the cries
OF venders OF all sorts of produce The awful
caterwauling continued until al sleep had fed.
The locality of the house was respectable Is
this sort of thing common in your city
RICHARD LEGERE
Yes. Richard; quite common. You viii find
Washington cosmopolitan in many respects
and countrypolitan in others. The city fathers
in the small city in which you live have un-
doubtedly dispensed with the peddler long
ago, but you must remember, Richard Legere,
that in Washington the license fee is reckoned
more desirable than quietude. yea, than much
fine quietude.
Moreover. Richard, You will notice that the
sons OF sunny Italy are allowed to roam at
large in our midst. They are privileged to set
up their stands in high places where the eyes
of the passers-by may be upon their wares, and
where their blue-coated friends may conven-
iently daily with the peanut or the peach, or
rather, with the peanut and the peach.
Further than all these, if you are inclined
70 a historical examination of other nui-
sances. you should visit the lobby OF the Sen
ate Had you arrived a little earlier. Rich
ard Legere. you would have seen the peddlers
OF votes come from the Senate chamber and
cry out their wares with whispers which have
made national noise and which have kept
many good people awake o. nights trying to
guess how much the whsperers got.
Yes. indeed, Richard, Washington is great
place for peddIing, and our hucksters operate
in many lines. from the selling Of peanuts to
the selling Of their party promises.
