1887 to date. The statements is made
by calendar years. 1t shows that dur
ing the year 1887 there were received
and shipped at this port 264,047 tons of
coal, 122,137 tons of ice, 1904 tons of
lumber, $4,000 tons of sand, 52,410 tons
of wood and 04,325 tons of miscellaDe-
Gus merchandise, making total for the
year of 61S,072 tons. There was slight
falling off in river business during the
calendar year 1888, and still further
reduction in 1889, when the aggregate
receipts and shipments were 4SS,6SO
tons. Business revived in 1890, when
the receipts aggregated 510,60G tons,
and continued TO improve in 1891. The
banner year of the decade, however,
was 1892, when the commerce reached
the amount of 766,054 tons, made up as
follows: Coal, 2SO,342 tons; ice, 1862;
lumber, 6S,17S; sand, 10000; wood, AS
457; miscellaneous, 261,2S5. The re-
ceipts and shipments for 1893, while
showing a slight reduction from the
preceding year, were greater than for
any other year since 1887, and the busi-
ness was nearly equaled by the receipts
for the year 1894, when it aggregated
64,5Ss tons.
The commerce of the port for the
calendar year 1895 is stated as follows:
Coal, 201,26S tons; ice, 13I, 1873 tons;
lumber, 51,327 tons; sand, 30,327 tons;
wood, 1890 tons; miscellaneous, 1877
4S3 tons, making total for the year
of 693,450 tons, as compared with 61S,-
072 tons for the year 1887.
The table also contains statement
of the number of vessels of various
classes, exclusive of ferry and local pas
senger steamers, arriving and depart
ing at Washington annually from 1887
to the close of 1895. In 1887 there we're
917 steamers drawing from five to fif-
teen feet and from 100 to 400 tons; 579
vessels drawing from ten to twenty feet
and from 300 to 1,70O tons; 2,149 vessels
drawing from four to ten feet and from
20 to 800 tons, and 993 barges draw
ing from four to ten feet, and from
100 to 300 tons. The changes in the char.
acter of the shipping during the inter
vening years is shown by the fact that
in 1895 there were 1000 steamers draw,
ing from five to fifteen feet and from
100 to 400 tons; 442 vessels drawing
from ten to twenty feet and from 300
to 1,7o0 tons; 2,O55 vessels drawing
from four to ten feet and from 30 to
300 tons, and 200 barges drawing from
four to ten feet and from 100 to 300 tons
There was decided increase in the
number of steamers of the better class
and great falling off in the use OF
barges and similar craft.-Washington

oversleeves, founced and furbelowed
with lace, or the elbow sleeve slashed
deep to show a tight undersleeve to the
wrist, or the odd, ugly sleeve which be
gins ina huge bellat the wrist, runs tight
to four inches above the elbow and then
expands into an absurd little fat puf at
the top.
Combinations of black and white Gre
held TO be very modish. Even in flan-
mel goods one sees them. The combi-
nation of black and white flannel, the
skirt white, the bodice black, but much
toned down with an applique of white
embroidery, the pouch front under the
jacket white and the belt q bow-tied
black ribbon-that is an oddly pretty
gown worn by piazza haunting matt on
who is resolved not to be a-cold along
toward evening.
A black and white silk is more con-
ventional. 1t has the ugly puff-tops
sleeves, with the bell-muzzles at the
wrists volleying smoke of lace, and
there are black silk tabs ON the bust and
shoulders and wide, wide black silk
bell, perhaps to atone for the fact that
the lines of black in the material of the
gown itself are quite thin and not very
near together. The inner bodice front
is white chiffon covered with dotted
lace, and there is yet other lace in pro-
fusion about the jacket and the collar.
The shade hat is omnipresenta and om-
nipotent. Its might there is none to dis
pute. 1t rejoices in trimming of flowers
or plumes, and even tulle quilting of the
earlier season is not quite despised. The
tiaring or curved brim is more in favor
than that which is straight, except
where severe athleticism tempers the
ideal of beauty's garb.
Regret it as one may for the sake of
woman'y freedom of motion, the bicycle
bloomer is not seen here, any more than
in Newport. That is to say, hardly
ever.
Plads still hold their own, not Only
in the big plaids favored for golfng
wear but the finer silk plaids for gowns
of more ceremonial sort.
Soft, light tints of pink and yellow
and green, with lace or grass linen over
them, are still seasonable
