STREETS KNEE DEEP IN SUGAR.
Ex-GOv. Hoard Recalls IN Incident O.
the Late Unpleasantness,

Ex-GOv. Hoard Recalls an Incident OF
the Late Unpleasnntness.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Among the distinguished gentlemen who
are at present in the city. fresh from the
meeting at Vicksburg in relation to the
establishment Of the national park at that
place, is Ex-Governor w. D. Hoard of Wis
consin. Governor Hoard is an old friend of
New Orleans, Notwithstanding the fact that
his first acquaintance with the city and its
attractions was made under peculiar cir
cumstances. 1t was during the time that
tried mems souls; when the forces of the
Union were encamped at the outer gates
and the confederate troops were seriously
thinking how best to get out of the warm
location. Gen. Lowell, who was in command
of New Orleans when the federals III
charge of Gen. Butler were knocking for
admittance, finally concluded that the best
thing to do under the circumstances was
to evacuate, and by this action turn the
city over to the tender mercieS of the op-
posed forces.
Governor Hoard was among the federals
who constituted the troops of the great
and only Butler. and when this general,
with his soldiers. marched into the
city Gov. Hoard marched with him. 1t
was then that the governor-he was not
then governor-received his first impress
sions of a city which at that time had
centers of the country These impressions
have never died in his memory.
Why" said Governor Hoard. II was one
Of the most surprised men in the whole
world. l had heard of fairy lands in which
the rivers ran wine and the hills were
made of great Jumps of sugar, but / had
never conceived Of a city whose streets
were knee deep in sweetness. Yet this was
just the case when we entered New Or
leans. 1 absolutely waded ankle deep in
sugar, and that in the streets along the
river. While the affair has become mat
ter of history, / shall never forget the
sight. You see, the fact of the blockade
of the port had caused a vast quantity of
the products of the south, chiefly sugar
and cotton, to pile up in the city, and the
inability of its owners to ship the stun re-
suited in the warehouses being filled to
overlooking. When Gen. Lowell realized
that he must give up the fight and leave
the city he determined to render IL impos-
sible for the Union soldiers to make use
of the accumulation of stores. To this end
he gave orders for its destruction. and
hundreds of hogsheads of new sugar were
violated and their contents cast into the
streets just like so much river sand. 1t
was a useless commodity for the time be-
ing. and great masses of the stuff were
piled up where the destruction occurred.
When we marched into the section of the
city where the sugar had been stored we
literally waded in sugar. l never saw such
waste in all my life in this respect, while
all along the levee front were the evil
dences of the burning of the cotton which
had been stored there waiting for an OPP
portunity for shipment to Europe"

Under the Interpretation of the rules of

how many events he may have won on the
road. provided he has not won any track
events. Under this Interpretation comes
T. N. Mudd, Jr., the crack rider or the
Arlington Wheelmen, who has been I'M
usually successful on the road, but VINO
has never won a race on the track. He mas
had particular aversion to track racing
because of the fact that in his first and
only experience on the track he sustained
a fall. with serious bodily injuries. His
friends in the club, however, intend placing
him on the track next season, with the
general hope that he will be as successful
in the short races as he has been In long
road races.

the racing board decided he had violated

Beliefs in Regard to the Moons In
fuence Not Credited.
FroLi Nature.
Fallacies about the moon are numerous,
such as that the full moon clears away
the clouds; that you should only SOW beans
or cut down trees in the wane of the moon;
that 1t Is bad sign If she changes on a
Saturday or Sunday; that two full moons
In a month will cause a food; that to see
the old moon in the arms of the new brings
on rain, and many others, of which a cata-
logue alone would take up a good deal of
spaoe. NJ Flammaron says that ''the
moons influence on the weather is neglgi-
BILE. The heat reaching US from the moon
would only affect our temperature by
twelve-millonthS of degree, ard the at
mcspheric tides caused by the moon would
only affect the barometric pressure a few
hundredths of an inch-a quantity far less
than the changes which are always taking
place from other causes On the whole we
are disposed to agree with the rhyme which
thus sums up the subject:
The moon and the weather
May change together;
But change of the moon
Does not change the weather.
Even the halo round the moon has been
discredited, for Mr.. Lowe found that it was
as often followed by fine weather as by
rain, and Messrs. Marriott and Abercromby
found that the lunar halo Immediately pre-
ceded rain in thirty-four cases out of sixty
ore. We always have lingering hope that
the overlapping influences, and arrive some
day at definite proof that our satellite
after all has something to do with our
weather.

The Dig Four Mt Whist.

The big four" whist players of the Cap
ital Bicycle Club, which title was won by
Messrs. Quackenbush, Harlan, Britton and
Wooten, in a tournament recently, were de-
feated last Saturday evening in match Of
twenty-four boards, duplicate whist, by
Messrs. C. NJ. Bsrrick, D. ]. Carr, Lindley
Fogg and F. H. Stevens. The latter four
won by several tricks, and thus in turn be-
came the big four of the club.
The match has demonstrated the superb
GRITTY of one four over the other. but it has
not demonstrated that the best four whist
players of the club constitute the big four.
Some other method will have to be adopted
for that purpose. When the club plays for
the American League trophy, it should be
represented by the best team possible.
Last evening was ladies' drive whist night
at the Capital Bicycle Club, at which the
members, with their ladies, played whist
during the early evening; then the guests
were entertained with music and refresh
ments. and the evenings enjoyment con-
