crowd outside. The ballroom is re-
splendent in parti-colored light, and
the couples crowd the floor, while the
on-lookers are banked to the walls.
Sunday will undoubtedly show the
largest attendance of this season.
In camp today the regular routine
was interrupted and inspection took
place. The order and discipline are
of the best. The brigade review this
afternoon was attended by great
crowd, the soldiers refreshed by rest
and trip on the water doing fine
work.

pany of the Second Regiment, while
the Wilmington company, Capt. Metts,

1t was first thought the entire bust
ness part of town would be lost, but
owing to the recent rains and the fact
that the wind slightly changed towards
the burned district, the heroic workers
were able to check the fire at the al
lev above mentioned.
This block of wooden buildings,
valued at something like 100000, was
owned by Mr.. ID. A. Mcdonald and
was not insured.
The total loss sustained by the mer-

at about $40, 900, with small insurance.

stock of 5000 and B. Hurwitz 5000 on
a stock of $4,000. No others We're

This is the fourth attempt to set fire
to this block of buildings, the other
three proving unsuccessful. There
seems to be no doubt that this fire
was of incendiary origin.

The accident was the worse in the
history of Potomac river racing. The
capsized launch was the Recreation,
owned by DrS. Stewart and wagner,
and carried the fourteen people men
toned.
During the first race the launch got
in the way of the eight CARED shells
and it's wash was such that the officials
reprimanded it's crew and ordered
them out of the wav There was some
show of resentment at this order and
the launch headed for the shore, but
miscalculated its course and striking
the strong undertow, caused by mill
race, rocked for a moment and as the
passengers rushed to one side, turned
turtle.
Only a few of the thousands of peo-
ple that lines the shore witnessed the
accident, but the police immediately
set to work to recover tn bodies.
Many of tn spectators. including Of
ficials of the district government, pro-
tested against the continuance of the
racing in view of the tragedy, but the
officials in charge declined to stop the
sport, saying that it was inexpedien'
because people had come on from nu-
merous other cities to take part and
that the regatta was the result or lone
laid plans in which many outside in
terests were concerned.
There was a great deal of criticism
of this decision. The cheering for the
competing crews as they passed the
scene of the tragedy and the shrill and
deafening whistles of the pleasure
craft continued while the bodies Of the
unfortunate victims were being Crap
Piled for. dragged into view and sent to
