THEY ALL CAN SWIM TO-DAY
An Army of Disaruntled Youngsters
at the Bathing Beach Last Evening.
Ii 1t Had Not Been for Uncle David
They Would Have Captured the
Potomac Bodily.

Perhaps the most tired, dusty, disap-
pointed and disgusted crowd of
youngsters ever seen around Wash
ington was that which stood in
front of the free bathing beach early
yesterday evening. An afternoon paper
had printed the Intelligence that the place
was open, and the news spread like wild
fire. Every boy who possessed, or could
beg. borrow or confiscate the price of
paper. invested, read the glad tidings
to a score or more of bis companions, and
the pilgrimage to the jumping off place
began.
Some came on foot, smoe on bicycles, some
in carriages, some in carts drags and carry
ais. but by hook or crook, all who heard
or 1t. early or late, Immediately repaired
thither. By the time O'Clock had ar
rived the bank was full Of them, the woods
were full of them, while the monument
grounds resembled sticky fy-paper on
hot summer day. Those in front pushed
back. and-the rear guard made frantic at
tempts TO push ahead those OF them into the
water.
But it would have taken a double-yoke
of oxen and barrel of molasses candy to
get the advanced guard an inch nearer the
water Somehow the cool limpid liquid
of the Potomac did not now possess the
IoSNihdiich loi tuc SOuISSteTS WHICH Dud
inspired them as they tramped their
weary way over the sun-baked common
The difficulty was soon explained
Plucky Patrolman David J. Cotter, in
his coatsleeves, was prancing up and down
the sandy beach brandishing that awful
instrument ironically termed the '.bather's
delight" 1t consists of nicely contrived
wooden affair somewhat resembling the
old-fashioned butter paddle.
But it was not the paddle that brought
terror to the brave young hearts; it was
the knowledge of the holes bored through
it, the heavily waxed thread wound around
it, and the recollection of many a dexter
ously dealt blow from the old tar's good
right arm that kept the multitude in check
Thus stood this modern Horatfo at the
beach, while the mighty mass of incor-
rigibles suTged like a sea before him. The
boys knew it was no use. When Uncle
David said no, he meant it. The houses
were not ready. there was no life-boatman
| there, and if anyone should be drow ned
well, they'd give -me black eye
So he played the part of father to
them, and they left, fully assured that
| raw or done, they could swim on Satur-
day 1t 10 in the morning, for Papa
Stevens and Uncle David had promised it.

Clever Bouts a t Kernan's.

The glove contest at the Lyceum last
night was up to the high standard of ex-
ceIlence set by Manager Stewart. The
contests that have been given during the
past two weeks have been by far the best
ever seen in this city.
The bout as announced for the night was
between John Bail, OF Newark, N. J., and
Charles Daily, of Washington. The latter
was clearly no match for the clever lad
from the north, and one round proved
enough for him. The bout was declared no
contest.
The audience was agreeably surprised
by another man being Immediately put
on Henry Mason, alias "Pocahontas," a
well-built colored boy, was the new
conner, and he put up an A No. 1 fight.
Ball had to fight to get the decision, and
many in the house thought that the colored
boy had the best of it.
Mason forced the fighting throughout,
but his blows seemed to lack force. The
white boy landed again and again on
Mason's face and head. In the sixth
round Mason swung corker on Balls ear,
drawing the claret.
Up to the call Of time in the last round
the colored lad was still on deck and
taking advantage Of every opening. Ball
however, had scored the most points, and
George Northridge, who refereed the con
test, awarded him the fight.
