The date of the Potomac river regatta
be held Saturday. August 49, 1t was origi-
nally intended that 1t should come off on
August 6, but as the Canadian Henley had
previously named that date it was decided

Among the large list of races will be the
following: Junior single scull intermediate
single Scull, senior single Scull, junior four
cared SHE'LL senior fOur-Oared shell, junior
double scull. intermediate double Scull,
junior four-oared gig, junior. senior and in
termedate eight-oared shell.
Banners will be given to the club winning
each event individual medals to each WIN
ming oarsman or sculler, and in addition to
these such fine trophies as The Evening
Star cup. the most valuable prize offered
IN America for senior four-oared shells; the
Washington Post cup for senior eight-oared
shells, and the Castelberg cup for junior
eight-oared shells.
Entries will probably be made in this re-

This Evening.
A FINE PROGR A M
POTOMAC RIVER REGATTA TO
TAKE PLACE AUGUST 13.
Many Valuable Prizes Hung Up
Potomac's Junior Eight Very Fast
-oarsmen at Poughkeepsie.

The members of the Analostan Club are
all enthusiastic over their regatta on the
river this evening, which bids fair to be
a marked success. There will be six races
in all. each one having its own special point
of interest. The crew races will be rowed
over the lower course. starting a mile
down the river and finishing off the Ana
lostan club house. The canoe races will
be rowed across the river and back
Notable among these races will be the
one between the Analostan Junior crew and
mixed crew from the Potomacs. conf
prised of intermediate and senior oarsmen.
AS the Analostans have practically de-
cided to send their junior crew to Phladel
phia on the Fourth this will be looked
upon a test of the crew. The Potomac
crew is a large and heavy one and con-
siderably more experienced. and the Ana
lostans' hopes are built for the most part
on practice and team work. The race Will
be for a mile straightaway.
1t was not thought best that the two
junior eights-the Analostans and the Po-
tOmacS-ShOuld meet in match race,
the result might be unfavorable The Poto-
macs, however, anxious to accommodate
their river mates. have agreed to enter the
following mixed crew p. Edmonston,

"A sPorLEss TOWN." INDEED

When Mr.. Morosco conceived the idea
of putting "Spotless Town" upon the
road, he had in his mind the difficult
ties that assail the health department
of every municipality, but he did not
come forward in any spirit of radical
reform. His sole desire was to satirize
the Vexations of a too rigid enforce
ment of strenuous ordinances and to
point out the probability that, as too
far east was west, too much good was
evil frequently. In a spirit of innocent
mischief the whole thing was conceiv-

Town will amuse the multitudes in

POSTOFFICE EXPANSION
hOre Data Concerning Growth of
Phoenix Postal Business.

Figures showing the business of the
Phoenix postoffice for the calendar year
are now available for comparison with
figures for previous calendar years. \
study of the figures shows that tho
kind of prosperity used in these parts
is the best kind. 1t was not so notica-
able at first. but it keeps gathering
strength as the months and years go
by. Nearly every years business IL
a little larger ratio of EXPANSION than
any preceding year with the exception
of the years 1901 and 1902 when the in
crease was not quite so much as in the
preceding year.
The month of December is usually the
month for large increases that bring
uD the total for each year. The De
cernber business just closed was over
twenty-four per cent gain over the De
cember business for 1902. For the on

CAN'T FOOL WITH UNCLE SAM
Experience of the Contractor Who Sold
the Government Copper Wire.

Experience of the Contractor Who Sold
the Government Copper Wire.
mo sir" said a Philadelphia who
supplies the government with necessi- /
ties of life, you can't do business with
Uncle Samuel in the spirit of a con-
tract; you simply must obey its let
ter If you put in specifications
amounting to 'steen dollars and q
cents and then bill it goods under the
contract and the total amounts to the
same steen dollars and 10 cents, you've
got to take it back and make up the
other two cents, or you don't do bust
ness.
Let me give you an instance of
Uncle SamueFs character for exact
ness. We were awarded a contract for
LOCO feet of copper wire for League
Island. We sent the order tc the
manufa cturers, and they turned in the
stuff. In a few days we got a letter
from the Island authorities that that
wire is only 9S5 feet long.
1--WE answer that we knew it, that
the copper ingot did not yield any
more and that we have charged them
/ only fer 9S5 feet. Would that do? Not
on your tintype.
They sent us word that if that wire
was not brought up to 1000 feet the
! lot would be rejected. Then we had
to get a permit from the L. a. tC, send
a man down to join on enough to make
! the demand good, and he went down
and did the work.
I'm a few days were were notified
that the piece ne put on made the
whole length 1.OO4 feet. We wrote
| back that we didn't care for the four
| feet and Uncle Sam could have it.
/ -
cut off that four feet of the whole
bunch would be rejected. Then we
had to get another permit for our man
to go down and lop it off, which he
did.
WAS it all plain sailing then? I
should say lot. When he threw the
offending excess upon the ground the
guard said:
Pick that up; that's against the
rules
He picked it up and was about to
toss it into the river when he was
stopped in a mandatory way:
Here! You dc that and you'll get
yourself into trouble'
so, thinking he'd find a resting
place outside the government reserves,
our employe walked to the gate where
he found a sentinel.
What have you got there?'
"A piece of wire.
/ "'You can't carry it out without
permit
"'All right. 1 don't want to- and
| cast it down.

mel. You cant throw things around

HAND PAINTED CHlFFONS.

BY new method gossamery mater
ials such as chiffon, mousselne and
tulle are painted with floral designs
in such a manner that none of the
pliability of the fabrics is lost. Crush
ing and wrinkling leave no impression
on the surface of the ornament, which
is executed by hand. Among choice de-
signs are wreaths of poppies, garlands
of roses detached sprays of primroses
and violets and scattered forget-me-

orange blossoms is among the bizarre
effects. But for floral ball frocks the

was ordered to start with his army at

He went to the barracks, made pa
triotic speech to the soldiers and told
them to parade at the appointed hour
Then he sauntered into the Hotel

ordered coffee for $3.50 in the morn

The troops were lined up at the hour
outside the hotel, and the general
strutted to and fro, waiting for his
coffee and telling everybody what ter

the enemy. But complication arose
Perez had not been a general long, but
he wanted milk in his coffee, whereas
nine Colombians out of ten are content
with black coffee. There was no milk.
