SPONGE SUPPLY IN DANGER.

The sponge supply OF the United States IL
seriously threatened by the wanton careless
ness OF the Cuban sponge hshermen. For
several years they nave been gathering tho
small or infant spongas with those OF larger
growth. The inevitable result is that the
Cuban sponge beds, from which the greater
portion OF sponges used In the United States
come, are threatened with total extinction.
Already prices have advanced, and a still
further increase Ia probable In very short
time. The shipments OF sponge5 to dealers
vary greatly in size and time OF receipt. To
gatner them II is necessary that the water
should he absolutely clear, aud IL for any

Tho sponges which come from Cuba are
known as medium grade the variety In gem

The best spc nges.are known rs the Mcliterra-
mean variety. as they come from beds in the

ROWING.

Little has been done recently toward
promoting the Potomac river regatta
which will be held by the three local or
CARNATIONS. The main thing was the ap-
pointment of a committee by the Analostan
club, which consists of Messrs L. A.

to work in conjunction with the commit
tees already appointed by the Columbia
and Potomac boat clubs, which have been
published in The Star. The committee will
hold point meeting this week, at which
a date will be selected for the coming Joint
excursion, and the date of the regatta
will undoubtedly be fixed soon after that
of the excursion.
Active work by the Analostans has be-
gun, and to keep up the interest in the
club, according to the plans of Captain
Moore. which were outlined some time ago
in The Star, a club regatta will be held
during the last week of this month, which

fact that 1t will be the first of the sea :

new men, the material of which for boat
ing purposes. will be fully shown in the

offered to the winners of the different
events, and the healthy rivalry stirred I'D
among the members. Ladies will be out In
numbers, it being proposed to make this es-
sentially an event for the ladies to wit
ness.
The resignation Of Captain Offley from
the Potomac Boat Club will be greatly
felt, and in no position more than in the
eight, which the club contemplated sending
to Annapolis May 30 to race the Naval
Cadets. The crew has been in training for
some time for this event, and the with
drawal of Captain Off1ey has so worked up
the other members that it is possible that
the original crew will be badly broken up,
making it the duty Of the new captain to
practically select full new crew. At the
last meeting of the board Of directors Mr.
Zappone was Endorsed as delegate to the
national association from this city. WASH
ington has only one representative on the
national association, and that representa-
tive is sent upon the Endorsement of the
local clubs. The term of the present in
cumbent does not end until some time in
August.

WILL STAND BY RUSIE.

National Board Threatens to Force
Freedman to Grant His Demands.
The following information is ascribed to
an excellent base ball authority:
The National League is very much dis
satisfied with the present attitude of Presi-
dent Freedman of the New York club, and
the small attendance on the home grounds,
owing to the weakness of the club. They
do not think he is justified in assuming
such defiant attitude in the Rusie matter,
especially since 1t Is at the expense of
other clubs.
The Rusie case, 1t is said by this author
ity, Is simply being held in allegiance by
the national board. with the hope that
freedman will come to his senses of his
own accord. but If upon the return of the
players to New York the club has not been
strengthened, the league proposes to take
the matter in Its own hands, and force
freedman to come to time.
1T Is also understood from the same re-
!lable source that the report of the national
poard VIII be favorable to Rusie If Freed
man, by his own defiance, forces the league
to act.
AS the case stands at present the league
IS disposed to let the New York magnate
ooWn with as little humiliation as possible.

LOCAL WHISPERS,
Capital Bi. Club Discussing tn
BROOKLYN Congress-,

brooklyn Congress-.
The members of the Capital Bicycle Club
are discussing the coming Brooklyn con-
gress of the American Whist League with
considerable interest. The questions being
considered are in what events shall the
club participate and who shall represent
it. As yet nothing definite has been de-
cided or. New committees will soon be
selected, and until the whist committee is
appointed very little will be done toward
perfecting arrangements for the Brooklyn
meeting. 1t seems to be understood that
the club will contest for the league trophy
and perhaps take part in the match for
pairs. Messrs. Low and Barrick would
represent the club in the pairs. They are
strong players, thoroughly understand each
other and would undoubtedly give any pair
in the country strong fight. Low and
Barrick also favor the short suit system of
play, and it would be interesting to COM
pare the results made by them against
some of the long suit pairs.
In contests of teams Of four the c. BIZ
C.'s have at one time or another defeated
all the strong clubs OF the country with a
few exceptions. They have material enough
for two or three strong teams. It is stated
that neither Carr nor Fogg, who played on
the team which defeated the Albany and
Hamilton clubs, will be able to go to Brook
lyn- Besides, if they should, it is uncer-
tain whether they would play on the same
team with Low and Barrick, as there is
not perfect agreement between the players
as to the method of play to be adopted
Fogg and Carr have a leaning toward the
long suit system.
Low, Barrick, Wooten and Quackenbush
have been playing together considerably
and they may play together at Brooklyn
Another strong player of the club who will
attend the congress is Mr.. Henry. He may
play in a club four. 1t is also unders TODD
that Mr.. Thomas P. Borden, a member of
the club, but now residing in New York
desires to play on the team. Mr. Borden

time, but has kept up his practice.
Some time ago the short suit team
of the Capital B. Club, viz, Messrs. Low,
Barrick, Wooten and Quackenbush, played
team composed Of Messrs. Fogg, Carr
Cole and Stevens, and defeated them by
eleven tricks in twenty hands. Mr. Fogg's
team were two tricks ahead at the end Of
the first four boards, but thereafter they
were not In 1t, their opponents gaining as
many as three and four tricks on different
hards.
