Only Qualification Necessary to Make Olympic Team
Is Ability; A.A.U. Registration Costs Is Cents

Numerous questions have been
asked by readers of the Times on
how to qualify for the American
Olympic team. These questions
were taken up with Secretary
James e. Sullivan of the Ameri-
can Olympic committee and are
answered here. Mr.. Sullivan told
the Daily Times correspondent,
that since he called for volunteers
for the team, his mail had reacn-
ed enormous proportions. He
says he cannot answer individual
enquiries. The Times will answer
all reasonable queries concerning
the Olympic games and American
team.-Editor.)

LIFTING OF THE RIVER FOG.
Northwest Winds Valuable Aid to
NAVIGATION on Potomac.

The lifting Of the heavy fog. which has
hung over the Potomac river and Chesa-
peake bay at intervals for two or three
days. came as a relief to steamboat mas
ters, who were being worn out by the con-
slant vigilance required of them. The
heavy northwest winds which began
blowing Sunday sent the fog curtain out
to sea and gave many vessels that had
been lying In harbor an opportunity to
start on their voyages.
There is but little danger Of a return
of the foggy conditions as long as the
weather Is cool. but return Of warm
weather like that of the latter part of
last week. it is said, will bring fog with
IT. The steamboat men are getting a good
rest In preparation for the next spell of
fog.
While shipping on the Potomac was in
convenienced the fog on the river was not
continuous, but would lift and close at
intervals. On Chesapeake bay. according
to reports, 1t was continuous from the
middle Of last week and at times brought
navigation to a standstill.

BARGE TO BE REPAIRED.
Brandywine, Damaged in Collision
Goes to Marine Railway.

The large Brandywine. which was
sunk in the river, near Long bridge. in
consequencexpf a collision with the stone
draw pier, and which, after being raised.
was taken to Georgetown to complete
unloading her cargo of coal, is on her
way to a Chesapeake bay shipyard to
have repairs made and to be put in good
order for efficient service. The barge
Saturday completed unloading the coal
she had aboard. and Sunday left here in
tow of the tug Southern.
The vessel has two large holes in her
hull, each over three feet square. One
on the starboard bow. almost at the
light water line, was made by the stone
abutment Of the bridge. and the other. in
the stern, was caused by the barge in
the tow behind the Brandywine ramming
her on the port side when she hit the
bridge. Either was large enough to
cause her to sink.
To carry her away the openings have
been covered with heavy canvas re-
inforced with planking. At the shipyard
she will be fitted with new bow and
stern.

BIG OYSTER SUPPLY.
Fifteen Vessels Bring Cargoes From
the Potomac Beds.

oysters in plenty are aboard the fleet
of fifteen or more vessels lying at the
11th street wharf wholesale market, and
in consequence of the heavy supply prices
are keeping down, notwithstanding the
return of cooler weather. OF the fleet
lying at the wharf nine were brought into
port Sunday and yesterday by the tug
Camilla, and one, the Quicktime. came
into harbor under sail from the Potomac
beds.
The total cargoes Of the fleet lying at
the wharf will amount to from eight to
ten thousand bushels supply large
enough to last several days. even should
there be no other arrivals of oyster
laden craft, which is very improbable
The demand is light. and this morning
fairly good oysters could be bought
wholesale, at ~ cents per bushel, and
the price ranged from that figure up to
81 per bushel for choice stock
The Potomac oysters are fat and Of
excellent flavor and shuck better than do
those from the bay oyster rocks.
