SIX SORTS oF A HOG.
Railroad Nuisances Which Seem to
Thrive In Warm w Gather.

Thrive In Warm weather.
1.-The car hog is more and more in evil
dence every day." said a car conductor
yesterday THE warm weather develops
traits that have been dormant with the
winter have counted six different varie-
| ties of the breed in a week. 1 used to be
a raiser of stock in more prosperous days
and I'm good judge. The most common
sort is that of the fellow who occupies
more room than he needs; never sees that
he could make room for anybody, and is
| evidently the same when he is at home
| III bet he's the man who gets the morning
paper first, reads it to himself, gives no
| one else chance, and carries it downtown
in his pocket.
Then there's the fellow who crosses
| his legs, and when any one seeks to pass
simply turns his foot edgeways, so that
twice as much dirt is rubbed off on a
woman's dress and he gets half shine for
nothing If q bigger man stands still and
| glares at him he will unfoldshis legs, but
| only then. This is the same animal who
likes to stretch out in cross seats on the
| L and clean his boots on the edge of the
| seat.
1.-The third of the species is less bold
| than his brothers. He is the chap who,
when some one gets up, leaving seat
vacant, although there's a tired woman
maybe next to him, plumpS into the vacant
spot, for she had her back turned, and
| the opportunity was-9Hd always is, in
fact-never neglected by him.
The fourth sort is the rooster who
readsanotherman'sp spaper over hiSShoulder.
! saw one the other day who was so
interested in one article that he didn't see
the man who held thefpaper was furtively
and amusedly regarding him. The fact
was brought to his attention, however, by
the paper being pushed in front of his face
and then withdrawn, and when he looked
up dozen smiling faces made his turn
fairly sallow.
THE fifth is really only pig. He's not
grown but thinks he is. His nose-that's
not the word, but it will do-is retrousse,
and the little bristles under it are care
fully cared for. He likes to crowd close to
pretty girl and stare at her with such
yearning look. If he sits opposite her his
eyes rarely wander from hers ! saw one
young woman stare at the feet of one of
that sort for five minutes. He pulled them
back and fidgeted them about, finally
resting on his toes. She kept right on
staring and he became very uncomfortable
I'm told that's sure remedy. He finally
got out on the platform.
1.-THE last of the railroad hogs I know,
although there may be others, is the one
who opens his newspaper so as to shut
out the view OF those on either side of
him. If he'd fold it down the center of the
page-but, pshaw, he won't. Chicago

SPARTAN BY TEN MINUTES
She Led Booqum and Startle a Merry
Race on the Potomac.
Prettiest Prize Regatta of Years.
River Alive with Boats-Contest
to Be Made over Second Prize.

The regatta season was opened yesterday
by the Capital Yacht Club with Que of
the prettiest prize races of years on the
old Potomac The club Eas lad new life,
energy, ard activity infused into it by a
commodore, Dr. L. F. Rauterberg; vice
commodore, C. c. j. Norris; treasurer,
Charles f. Kaw; secretary, Z. G. Ruebsam;
and measurer, Arthur c. Rauterberg.
The committee OF the regatta was COM
posed of Commodore Rauterberg and
Messrs- j. P. Libbey and d Knowlton.
The contest yesterday was for two hand
some prizes, one beautiful silver cup
chased on one side with the design OF
sloop under full SAIL The second prize was
pretty gold watch charm decorated with
compass.
The officers of the race, who acted as
judges, were DR.. f. l. Rauterberg, starter,
in the launch Alert; Mr.. KnowIton fol-
lowed the race in the Falcon and was
marker at the turn, and j p. Libbey in
the Gypsy, was the timekeeper.
The entries Were the Spartan, Capt c.
Kar, and Messrs. Frederick and Ket-
teller.
The Boogum, Capt. Jake Diemer, Messrs.
Harry Love and Zeb Allison.
The startle, Capt. Frank Page, and
~. u L
Robert Cleiner and c. Deardoff.
The Franciya, Capt F. c. Townsend,
Arthur Cassidy, John Torrey, Day id
Flynn and Robert Miller
The Grace, formerly the Florence, Vice
Commodore Norris, sailing, and Secre-
tary Reubsam, Frank Bany, l.. Gay
hardt aud L. Ashton.
The Jim Jam, Admiral" Ed Cleary,
sailing, and George Sangston and John
o'Counor.
The Hermit, DR.. Davis sailing
The Gypsy, j. P. Libbey.
The Greyhound, Arthur Rauterberg, and
Mrs. Arthur Rauterberg.
The Dramster, August Gayhardt sailing
and Messrs. John Cahill and c. Gayhardt
The w., V Cassidy sailing.
The start was made across a line joining
the lower end or the arsenal grounds and
the opposite point OF the river. 1t was
made at $40 a. M, and by that time the
river was alive with small boats, packed
with the friends of the crews and others
out for this feature OF Decoration Day.
The race was to be TO River View and
return, a distance OF twenty miles, aud
to be run in not less than seven hours.
This was big margin, however, as three
OF the boats made it in less than five and
three-quarter hours.
The start TO River View, after some
very pretty maneuvering and coquettiug,
was evenly made. There was fair wind
from the northwest, which stirred the
flood tide into decided motion. The tide
was against the fleet outward bound,
and on the home stretch they had TO beat
to windward, and sail also against the
ebb tide.
The starters kept fairly well together
with the Spartan, the Bouglim and the
Startle slightly in the lead, but well
punched. After the turn the Spartan
forged ahead, winning by ten minutes,
with the Rouglim and the Startle good
seconds. These latter finished ST. closely
that it will require close calculation of
time allowance and length to determine
their actual place.
