Our Dirty Streets.
= Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
agree with Mr.. Stidham that the streets
of the national capital, which ought to be
the cIeanest, are among the dirtiest OF any
in the country-at least in the east.
Everywhere they are covered with dust;
which not only covers everything out of
doors, but permeates our houses. covering
everything, and creating a great amount
of otherwise unnecessary work for the
women folks
/ don't know how it may be elsewhere.
but with us the hand cleaning of the street
is not as good as where cleaned with the
horse sweeping machines. With these lat
ter the street was first sprinkled, which laid
the dust: while with the hand sweeper. al
though the man is provided with a sprinkler,
he never uses 1t, or, IL ever, very seldom
For the past three weeks since our return
from the country / have never seen the
street sprinkIed once. Several times day
the man goes along, gathers up the horse
droppings and stirs up the dust, so 1t is
dust dust ali the time, over everything.
II is strange that the streets are not
spr.nkied more, as Mr.. Stidham says they
ought to be, and as common sense would
seena to dictate.
1t is to be hoped that the street cleaning
may be improved, as he suggests. but /
have no idea that Congress can be induced
to do what it ought to In providing the
means for it. The members are too busy
getting appropriations for their own states
and districts to give attention to the needs
of the capital. lis true: pity Us 'tis

The match was played under TIE met

match as one point, and resulted in a v.c-

made threes and fours with the regularity

Disobedient would have a much better
chance at seven furlongs. He should be
second. Clark Griffith has an excellent
chance to he third, as he ran his best races
over this course in the spring.
Entered in the second race are num-
ber of good selling platers, and it is an
open contest. Just So, with ninety-eght

their chances seem very bright.
With anything like good luck at the start
Aviston may win the fifth race. She is a
handy little filly, and once in the lead, can
hug the turns closely. Benevolent may
beat Turkey Foot for second place.
If ever Oliver Cromwell is to win. his
chance is in the last race. This horse has
shown high speed for two years. but has
always been unfortunate. He has never
met a poorer lot of horses than those that
will face him this afternoon. He ought to
win in n gallop. Lindale may be second
