ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS,
Complaint About the Ferry Boats
Facilities for Teams.

There is great deal of complaint over
the fact that the Washington Steamboat
Company, which owns and operates the
ferry boats between this city and Wash
ington, do not put on another boat for the
carrying Of teams. AS 1T is now. 1t is only
every other hour that people can drive on
the boat. On other trips passengers have
to unlock their teams and take care of
their horses while travelling on the Belle
Haven, and on reaching one end or the
other the company's employees kindly hook
your team up for you and then politely in
form you that they expect to be paid for

GOOD ROADS

During the southern circuit
meet at Fountain Ferry, Lee Rich-
ardson, Of Chicago, gave some Of
the most marvellous exhibitions Of
trick riding ever seen in Louis
vile, lie performed seemingly
impossible ieats without apparent
effort and acknowledged each
round of applause by executing a
still more difficult trick. His
vaulting from one pedal to the
other at each alternate revolution,
riding with front wheel off the
ground, and without front wheel
or handle bars, were we'll received
by the crowd. Richardson is UNI
questionably one of the cleverest
performers in his line, and in rid
ing backward is without a rival.
His record OF gao for hali.mile
backward, made at Fountain Ferry
track will probably stand for some
time unless he should conclude to
break it himself At Fort Wayne
last season one of the best known
trick riders in the country offered
to bet $4,000 that Richardson
could not ride a safety machine
backward while seated ia the reg.

to accomplish it himself, he was
certain It could not be done, but

previous record Of I:47 3-5. made
by John S, Johnson, over the same

in the heat which for a'day or two
had been more intense than is us.
ual 50 early in the season.
About four o'clock the men pre-
pared for the attempt, and the
start was effected with the tandem
pacing, The pace was hot from
the start and, at the half, the quad,
manned by O'Conner, Hamilton,
Cobnrn and Terrell, made an ex.
cellcnt pickup and carried curly.
headed Mike along at clip that
has never been equaled on any
track. In the stretch the quad
put on additional steam, but Dirn-
berger seemed equal to any pace,
and when he crossed the tape, he
had clipped ! 80 seconds from the
best time ever accomplished by
the mighty Johnson, and had done
much toward verifying his own
prediction that the Fountain Ferry
track would prove to be from FIVE
to eight seconds faster than any
other track in existence.
On May 80, Dirnherger went
for the two.milefying start record,
and with excellent pacing but
poor pick-ups. reduced the record
TO 1851 AS. This cuts AS
