When the two government commissions
were making the INVESTIGATION which ulii-
ma:ely led TO the selection OF the siss for
the naval station near Bremerton. they
took into consideration the claims OF Lake
Union. Two objections stood In the way
of recommending that location. The first
Of these was the uncertainty attaching 10
the construction OF the Lake Washington
canal. and the fact that that Improvement
was in the hands of another branch OF tho
government. the war department, The Sec
ond. and perhaps the more forc!ble objec-
tion was in the unwlllingness OF the COM
mission to recommend as the site for dry
dock any location approachable only by q
canal. the locks of which would be ex-
posed TO attack and the channel of which
might easily be obstructed by an explo-
sion or by bombardment.
Both these objections have since been
largely removed. the first by the assurance
that the canal will be built and the secur-
ing OF an adequate government appropria-
ton 20 prosecute The work: the second. by
the fact that the alteration finally made In
the route OF the canal will place the lock
behind land shelter. whore II would bo
secure from direct hombardment. and will
stant defense from the mortar batteries to
be stationed on Magnolia bluff.
Lake Union . Fresh Water Dasin.
In this connection Il may not be amiss to
recall the circumstances and steps by which
the government was led to the conclusion
that II would be wise to maintain a fresh
water basin In Lake Union. First OF all.
le, Il be borne in mind that II such fresh
water basin Is established. II implies thu
maintenance on the shore Of Lake Union OK
repair shops more or less extensive.
The first favorable reports on the project
Of a fresh water basin in Lake Union wers
made public a year ago last spring. when
the pos;-IutelllgeEcer's special correspond
eut at Washington secured. through Sena-
tor Turner. copies of the letters OF Capt
Barker and Capt. Clark. each OF whom had
In turn been instructed by the navy de-
piartment 10 look over the ground and make
a special report TO the department Up 10
that time both reports had been kept se-
cret although the Post-Tnteiligencer had
stated upon good authority at the time tho
reports were made that both were decidedly
favorable 10 the utilization OF Lakes Union
and Washington, enc or boih as fresh wat
er harbors for the laying up of warships
when not in comm ss!on on the Pacific
coast: but that the department was 10th TO
make them public fearing the rise In real
estate values which Il was thought would
be sure 10 follow when IL was made known
that the navy department looked upon the
plan with favor. II WAS thought NJ the
time the department might wish 10 obtain =
considerable quantity or land for It's own
purposes but IL was afterward decided that
no cons dere hle amount of land outside that
condemned for right-of-way for the canal
would be required.

civilian Murray is the best man
have ever seen as an assistant starter"
said Fitzgerald Thursday. IF all the
members of our army and navy had the
same brand of nerve as Murray there
would be nothing to the present trouble
with Spain.'
Charley Dwyer said Thursday that his
colt, Michael III, had worked faster over
the Brooklyn track than any horse his
father had ever owned, not excepting
Hanover, fremont and Kinston. Prior
to his being taken to Aqueduct he
covered a mile over the Gravesend
course in 1.42a, and was in hand all the
way.
The report that Gen. B. f. Tracy has
leased the historic Stony Ford Farm, in
Orange county, N. Y, proves to be true.

Greatlands, which has won all of his five
starts at Newport.
George f. Smith, (''Pittsburg Phip')
arrived in New York from the south
couple Of days ago feeling somewhat
better than when he left New York.
Mr.. Smith, however, is not yet strong
enough to take any chances in inclement
weather. He has not, therefore, visited
the Aqueduct race track as yet. When
the warm weather arrives, if it ever gets
here, he will no doubt be on hand,
picking the winners in his old time
| form.
Nancy Hanks, 2.O4, ex-champion Of
the trotting track and now a brood mare
at the farm of J. Malcolm Forbes, near
Bosto., has been bred to the thorough
bred horse imp. Meddler. The result
will be looked forward to with the
greatest interest ...-
Gen. Tracy has been identified with
horse breeding for more than twenty
years, although at the time he entered
the cabinet of President Harrison in 1883
he disposed of the large stud he then
owned, and for four years gave little at
tention to the trotters.
