SHOOTING THE CHUTE.

The Greatest Attraction to Be Found
ut River Resort.
Have you been down to River View to
shoot the chute? Well, il you haven't
you've missed lots Of fun. for there's really
more fun in coming down the artificial
waterway into the big lake than there
Is in any other amusement provided for
excursionists on the Potomac river
The shaft Of the chute is 15 feet high
and the top Of 1t, the starting point. is
reached by means Of an elevator An in
dependent electric lighting plant illu-
inmates the chute. and gives the whole
affair bright and attractive appearance
FOR mikes around. From the water the
boats are carried to the starting point
by means of an endless chain, and the
machinery used for this purpose is in the
machine room on the ground floor A
flowing stream of water over the chute
also adds to its attractiyeness, and this
is pumped from the river at the rate of
nearly one thousand gallons a minute
The latest improved machinery is used IN
connection with the chute. and the costly
structure IS thus made perrecrIy secure
Captain Randall has made many improve
mentS about the grounds, and in addition
TO the chute has the roller coaster or
switchback railway, which has never lost
its popularity; steam flying horses, bowling
alley. shooting gallery, shuttle boards. rid
ing track, with horses and goats, and there
is always music and dancing.

Safely Over the Mark.

The gold reserve has been once more
placed safely over the hundred million
mark. This was accomplished through the
deposit Of gold coin by the banks in ex-
CT ange for United States notes. The total
gold coin contributed by the banks up o
the close Of business yesterday was $751;
25a,OOO. This was added to the reserve Of
$S6, G31.770. and brought the total up to
SOL .Ssl, 40. There was no gold taken for
export yesterday. showing that the New
York bankers have control of the exc hange
market and are using their power to pro-
tect the treasury. The hoardfngs also fell
off, amounting to only $3.50 in coin.
