"As all bicyclists and horse owners
know" said one of the latter to a Star re-
porter. by reason of the topography of
the country about Washington. long, level
stretch of road Is a thing much desired.
The river road which follows the canal
and crosses the Chain bridge into Virginia
is wide and as level as floor from George
town right up to the bridge. Except. how
ever. to the people who live in Virginia, 1t
is of little use. but with slight expense
might be transformed into a magnificent
driveway. If it could be extended in the
region of the Chain bridge up to the Con-
duit road, or IT. some way to connect there
with by an easy grade on the other side of
the upper reservoir, 1t would become in a
short time one of the finest bouievards i'm
aginabe-
THE New Cut road connection is too
close to town and makes a very long, billy
link between the two thoroughfares The
Conduit road has three hills between the
city and Cabin John bridge. The River
road is very picturesque, and 1t is seldom
in billy country that such a long level
stretch may be found. This great Improve
H.ent might be effected at COMPARATIVELY
small cost. and we all wish 1t would become
an accomplished fact"

At late hour last Friday night an elder
ly woman was noticed to be acting in a
very suspicious manner. and upon investi-
CATION it was learned she had escaped from
the asylum located at Ca.onsvile, Md. 1t
is said she was sent out on an errand by
one of the officers of that institution. and,
not returning again that evening, word was
sent to the Baltimore city authorities, ex-
pecting that she had gone to her home in
that city On her way to this town she en-
deavored to get lodgings for the night at
the house of some colored people about a
mile north of this place. and by her actions
gave them a scare. but they at last sue
ceeded in persuading her to continue her
way here. 1t was thought best to keep her
in the town hall that night, and early Sat
urday morning the Catonsville authorities
were notified of her presence here Later
an officer arrived to convey her back to
that town.

The Holland carried STATS ten feet high
upon the bow and stern. indicators to
show her depth when submerged. and also
to show if she is running a vertical
keel. In actual service these would not be
used. She also carried her equipment of
Whitehead service torpedoes. with practice
heads.
The program for the exhibition was dis
trbuted among the guests, and was fol-
lows:
When the Sylph blows two Whistles the
captain of the Holland will be notified
to commence the exhibition. When the cap
tain of the Holland begins filling the tanks
preparatory to diving ne will blow one
whistle from the Holland. He will then.
ready. dive and run about ten
minutes. making about one mile and
quarter submerged run. If down stream.
the course will be almost midway between
a white house on the right bank of the
river and the buoy at Mt. Vernon. The
start will be made about one mile above
the buoy at Mt. Vernon. If the run is
made up the river the course will be di-
rected toward a sand bank to the right of
Fort Washington. AT the expiration of the
mile run the Holland will come to the
surface discharge a torpedo al an imagi-
rsry enemys war vessel and dive imme-
diately; turning around under water, she
will return about one-eighth OF a mile on
the same course. showing her ability to
escape from attack. Coming to the surface
she will then make four or fvs quick por-
poise-like dives to show the facility of
handling her in the vertical plane. The
boat will then discharge the water from
her tanks and await further directions.
Three whistles Of the Sylph will indi-
cate to the captain Of the Holland that
the exhibition is finished.
In the event of vessels lying in the
course, in order to avoid accident, the Hol-
lard will come up for observation once
or twice during the ten-minute run.
The party will return about ) O'Clock.
