DENT OF BIG SUCCESS.

Ing craft.
Tomorrow will be busy day at the Po-
tomac house. Nearly all the pleasure
boats in the house will have to be moved
into the tents to make room for the boats
of the visiting crews. The Potomacs sore
ly miss the Georgetown boat house. which
has always aided the locals in Quartering
the boats.
First Arrivals.
The first crews to arrive will be the
Ariels and Arundels from Baltimore They
come In with six crews apiece early Fri
day morning and can be seen taking their
practice spins Friday afternoon. Some Of
the Baltimore rooters will come with the
oarsmen Friday morning. but the large
crowd will come over Saturday.
The Virginia Boat Club of Richmond

an eight-oared shell. on account o the ex-
pense OF transportation. 1t ha, enter
ed a four-oared gig, however, wi ich VIII

that another Georgetown boy, Cnario
VINO rowed at four seat in the Gig 1t this
year at Poughkeepsie, will also be in the
crew.
Entries Slow
The entries are not coming in any too
fast as all the clubs are complaining of
the nigh rate of transportation for their
shells A great many crews have decided
not to come on account of this, and the
transportation committee is now trying to
make better rates with the railroads.
The Potomac Club has always given 2
good regatta and it will do so this YEAR

fed that it is absolutely necessary to enter
a nolle prosequi because he lacks prima
face case. He will be instructed in every
such instance to report the case with the
reasons why he did not take 1t into court to
the corporation counsel. who will keep a
record for the Commissioners.
He will also be instructed not to reduce
the collateral imposed at police stations,
which is done according to a schedule fur
nished the police department by the Police
Court, the police department acting as the
agent of the court for this purpose as a
matter of convenience.
The exaction of collateral it is con-
sidered, is, like the imposition of the fine. a
matter for the court or it's agent and not
for the prosecutor. The Commissioners be-
lieye that the prosecutor should not per-
form any Of the functions of the court, but
should confine himself to the duties of his
Office.
This order of the Commissioners is con-
sdered as a victory for Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel A. Leftwich Sinclair.

MONDAY EVENING. DEC. -, 1901.


The Pope has been making unusual
efforts to persuade the Marquise Desmon-
tiers Merinyille, who was Miss Mary
Caldwell, to reconsider her decision to
renounce the Catholic faith. Knowing
that the Msrquisc was still angry about
what she considered sights that had
been put upon her at the Vatican since
the death of Leo XIII and that she was
decidedly toucby, Plus \, perhaps fer
the first time in history, waived all the
strict ceremonial observation-disclosures and
personally invited the Marquise Desmon-
tiers to private conversation In his
apartments.
The audience took place in the first
week of this mouth. The Marquise was
accompanied by her aunt, and both la
dies drove to the Vatican, alighting at
the Court OF st. Damascus BY special
privilege, usually enjoyed by cardinals
alone, Mrs. Donnelly and the Msrqulse
were requested to enter the Papal ele-
vator instead of ascending, as usual, the
Scala Regla leading 10 the rope apart
meuis.
1t would be no doubt most interesting
to know what arguments Plus y. made
use of 10 order to recOnyert the Mar
quise, but one thing is certain, and that
is that he was not successful. At the
end of the audience, which lasted nearly
half an hour, bolh ladies were in tears.
and the Pope himself who accompanied
them to the threshold of his study, was
deeply moved. As parting gift he
presented to the MARQUEE precious
rosary, and blessing it before giving it
into her hands, said he would remember
her daily in his prayers aud that he had
full confidence that God would listen to
his entreaties for her physical and spirit
nal welfare,
