RIVALRY OF THE TUGS.
Two Vessels Race for Job of Tow
ing Schooner.

Towing business on Chesapeake bay is
light and the rivalry between tugboat
masters to secure business is intense. the
little steamers going miles out to sea off
the Virginia capes to intercept vessels
few days ago the tug M. Mitchell Davis
of the Taylor fleet of this city and the
tug Dauntless of Baltimore were cruis-
ing OFF the capes on the lookout for in
ward-bound vessels. Far down the coast,
so that her sails looked like specks
against the sky. came big schooner
from the south with a cargo for Balti-
more. The masters of the two tugs saw
her about the same time and they sent
their boats on a chase to the schooner.
1t was a case of the first one reaching
her getting the job of towing her in.
Smoke belched from the stacks of the
tugs the firemen piled coal in the fur
naces in order to keep the steam up to
the highest mark while the vessels raced
along with throttles wide open. 1t was
an exciting race. but the Dauntless got
the better of the Washington tug and
reached the vessel first by length. she
capturing the prize. The Davis remained
on the cruising ground to hunt for an
other vessel.

Commissioners Considering Bill
Authorizing Its Appointment.

To extend the system of parks to the
sections of the District now being butt
UP rapidly, and for which no provision was
made in the original park plans or the
city, the Commissioners are considering
a measure which will provide for a park
commission to study the situation and
make plans Within a few days Con-
gress will be asked to authorize oy law
the park commission, If the ideas
of the Commissioners remain as at pres
ent The commission will need S4.Oo. IL
is estimated, in making the study and re-
port Next session the Commissioners
will present its findings and formulated
plans to Congress: at. least, this is what
is being considered at present.
The present value of land in the built
up portion of a large section of the Dis
trict outside of the old city limits prac-
tically excludes all hope of any parks be-
ing established there. but there is still
plenty of room for parks in the por-
tons yet to be thickly built upon. and
it is with this view in mind that the bill
will be drafted.
