the Potomacs have ever entered, the mem
bers averaging something like 1853 pounds,
and Dempsey is very much pleased with the
makeup and the caliber of the men. They
are going up against the fastest eight-oared

anxious to get in this fast company, and
Dempsey Is confident the crew will give
fine account of itself.

BIRDS ON THE MARSHES.
The Gunners Ready for Annual Shoot,
Which Begins Thursday.

Thursday morning before dawn the gun
ners will make an attack on the birds on
the marshes and the slaughter of the birds
will begin. Extensive preparations are pc
ing made by those who expect to partic1-
pate in the sport, as is shown by the de-
mand for boats and ammunition. Dealers
in ammunition say that the sales OF what
is necessary for such sportsmen have been
greater this year than usual. This, 1t is
thought, is because the birds are more plen-
tiful than they have been for number OF
years. ,.-
''The birds are more plentiful this year
than l have known them to be In any sea-
son during the past twenty years, SAID
John Frass to a Star reporter. The BIRDS
came earlier and will be in better condi-
ton than usual at the opening of the sea-
son. Should the weather get much cooler
the birds are not likely to remain very long
in this vicinity. Reed birds and ortolan
have been on the marshes about Benning
some little time and black birds are as
plentiful as usual.
The wild oats are in splendid condition
now and have been for some time. There
is plenty for the birds to eat, and the only
thing that would likely Interfere with the
sport would be the appearance of a storm.

nently changed from the south side to the
north side
At this point the old boundary sewer will
be cut off and done away with for length
OF about 200 feet, owing to the fact that 1T
will be in the way of the grade reduction,
and the further fact that there are other
sewers near by that will keep its loss from
being detrimental in any way to the citi-
Zens or to property.
While the north half of the street is being
lowered. all the telegraph wires will be
hung on the poles on the south side. The
lowering of the south side will necessItate
the transfer of the wires to the north side
again.
Raising Track Grade.
The Baltimore & Ohio company has de-
cided to raise the grade of its tracks at this
point about one foot, thereby saving about
$4,000 in the whole cost $4,000 of which
would have to be paid by the railroad COM
pany.
The raising of the grade made II unneces-
sary to put farther down in the ground the
new boundary sewer, which measures fif-
teen by seventeen feet
AS the matter now stands with the
tracks grade raised one foot, the gutter OF
FLORIDA avenue, where the new sewer
passes beneath 1t, will be only about four
hches above the top of the sewer.
Progress on Tunnel Work.
The driving of the railroad tunnels
under Capitol Hill between the Library of
Congress and the Capitol is expected to
begin at LIST and b streets southeast in
about six weeks, and at LIST and streets
northeast in two months. The contractors
will make no statement in regard to the
time 1t will take to complete this under
ground cut, because, they say, Unforeseen
difficulties may be encountered to delay
the work While, of course. the nature of
the strata in the hill is known to some ex-
tent, the driving of tunnel of this sort
is always attended with more or less I'M
certainty.
In about a week it's expected New Jer-
sey avenue at ID street southeast will be
opened to traffic. The twin tunnels are
being rapidly completed in the open cut;
from the southern portal at this point, to-
ward street, and the earth will soon be
thrown over them.
In constructing the twin tunnels under
the hill the two outside stone walls will
be driven first, followed by the middle
wall and arches some distance behind.

CHARGE OF GRAND LARCENY.
Three Colored Girls Held for Action
of the Grand Jury.

After having preliminary hearing in the
United States branch of the Police Court
this morning on a charge of grand larceny
three colored girls, Nellie Marshall and
Mary Lewis, each nineteen years old, and
Rose Marshall, fifteen years of age, were
held by Judge Mills under $500 bonds each
to await action by the grand jury.
The girls were arrested Saturday night
by Detectives Cornwell and Muller because
of complaint made at police headquar-
tiers by Charles w. Eveart a sergeant in
the marine corps stationed at the navy
yard. He reported that he went to Balti-
more during the early part of the week
and left his house in care of Rose Mar
shall On returning several days later he
found that a quantity OF ms household
furniture valued at about $50 had disap-
peared. The detectives in making their in
vestigation found that 1t had been bought
by a second hand dealer. who said that he
paid 1925 for it after being taken to the
house by the girls.

BEACH TO CLOSE WEDNESDAY.
No More Bathing at Local Basin After
That Date

The committee in charge of the District
bathing beach has decided to close that re-
sort for the season next Wednesday, the
31st of August. 1t is stated that only
few bathers have recently been awaiting
themselves of the facilities afforded for
bathing at the beach, presumably on &C
count of the cool weather, and 1t is not
deemed advisable to expend the money
necessary for maintaining the resort when
so few visit the place. --
1t is stated that about $l05 a week is
quired to keep the beach running. The
money at the disposal OF the beach COM
mittee has also practically been consumed.
Ordinarily the beach is closed each year be-
tween the LIST and 10th of September. The
cool weather of this year. however, makes
1t undesirable to keep the resort open

Bass Fishing Not Good.

Reports received from points along the
upper Potomac do not show that bass fish
ermen are having particularly good sport,
but anglers who are content with catching
other fish are doing well. About the city
wharves, especially in the vicinity of
Georgetown, rock being caught in
large numbers and perch fishing is also
good. Last week some fine white perch were
caught and yellow perch are more plenti-
full than usual. Fishermen who went to
Chesapeake Beach yesterday made some
big hauls of tailOrs. Some anglers landed
many as forty fish. Large croakers We're
also plentiful.

The distance between these is something

Grade of Florida Avenue.
1t is stated that the beginning of the
work of reducing the grade Of Florida ave-
pue between New York avenue and 4th
street northwest to the grade required for
the subway across Florida avenue at that
point will be begun this week. The walls
of the subway have already been con-
structed. but the street will have to be cut
down to depth of fifteen feet before the
tunnel can be completed. The cut will ex-
tend for almost half mile.
According to the engineers engaged on
the terminal project the reduction of grade
of Florida avenue presents one of the most
difficult problems in connection with the
railroad work. Under the roadway OF
Florida avenue, 1t is stated, are 12-inch
water main. a 36-inch water main and
portion of the 6-foot boundary sewer, while
above the surface are two rows of tele-
graph poles heavily hung with wires AS
sistant District Engineer Charles Fernald
has devised plan for the work of reducing
the grade that it Is believed will prove en-
tirely satisfactory.
North Half First.
1t is planned to lower the north half OF
Florida avenue first, and while this is being
done temporary Pinch water main will
be laid on the south side in order to pre-
vent the water service in the neighbor-
hood being interrupted by the alterations.

ed the 36-inch main. which Is farther below
