SWIRLS UNDER BRIDGES.
Heavy Rains Cause Muddy Current
in the Potomac

The heavy rains of the early part of the
week. which were particularly heavy
about the headwaters of the Potomac.
are causing a very heavy current In the
river and yesterday afternoon the yell
low flood was rolling and swirling under
the bridges and at the forks of the
channel the water was boiling" as IL
it had a gigantic fire under it.
The high waters along the upper river
are washing banks clear of the accumula-
ton of tree trunks and other debris and
these are coming down with the floods
and are being carried ashore along the
eastern bank of the river below Gels
boro point Yesterday afternoon 1t was
estimated that the current was going
past Georgetown at speed of four or
five miles and hour and this morning
it showed but little diminution in it's
strength. Vessels lying at the wharves
at Georgetown were made fast with
double lines and 1t is stated that no
damage has been done shipping there.
This is the first freshet that has oc-
Cured In the Potomac for about a year.
At Great Falls the water is very high
and most of the rocks which are or
dinarily visible are hidden by the masses
of yellow water. 1t is expected that much
of the strength of the current will be
spent by tonight or tomorrow morning.

ington Mans Tabulating Devices.

Charles w. Spicer. "a Washington man,
for a time the mechanical expert of the
census bureau. is inventor of the tabulat-
ing card-punching and sorting machines

ment of the Dominion of Canada as the
mechanical equipment of the bureau that
is occupied in taking a census.
Mr.. Spicer while connected with the
United States census bureau was in
charge of experimentation with tabulat-
ing machines. He perfected many limo
vations and improvements that are now
in use, and that have contributed to
make the mechanical department of the
bureau the most advanced of any CEN
sus- taking organization in the entire
world. He was employed at the bureau
during the last and the preceding CEN
suseS.
The type of tabulating machines adopt
ed by the Dominion government was
used by the United States census bureau
in taking the thirteenth census. Canada
has bought outright the exclusive patent
rights for the Dominion. The machines
are being constructed in Canada by con-
tract. and will be ready in September
for use.

Good Sport on the Track.

The racing program yesterday was COM
posed of two harness races and a running
event, and the sport was good. The 10
trot, which was the opening event, was
one of the best contests ever seen on the
track Five heats were trotted without
a decision, and before the time Tor the
sixth heat the shutdown rule became eifec-
tive The owners decided to divide the
money according to the standing at the
end of the fifth heat rather than post
pone the finish until today. Miss ku-
shan was given first money, Obese second
money, Palm Cozinne third money and
Won March fourth money.
Alice NJ, belonging to William f. Mill
Ter of Washington, captured the 10
pace in easy fashion. She took the lead
at the proper time and won in straight
heats, pretty much as she pleased. The
others fought it out for the other posi-
tons.
The half-mile run was captured by Ben
lala after a hot finish with SabO Blend.
While Benlala was returning to the post
after a false break, the other six horses
were sent away. Benlala's jockey wheeled
when he saw them break and started on
the journey fully fifty yards in front. He
was overtaken by SabO Blend, however.
and beaten in a close finish. The race
was declared off and the horses ordered
out again, a decision that provoked angry
protests from some of the owners. To-
days racing program includes two har-
ness and three running races.
