STRONG RIVER CURRENT.
Schooners Meet With Delay Owing
to Down-Rush of Water.

The frequent and heavy rains about
the headWaters of the Potomac have
caused current in the river for the
past ten days or two weeks and yes
terday it was still running, but with
diminished force. The down-rush of
water has prevented flood tides making
in the vicinity of this city, but the
water has been able to swell against
the current while there has been but
little uphow.
Vessels coming here have been con-
siderably Inconvenience by the current.
which prevented them from making much
Roadway against it, and the schooner
masters report having been three or four
days making distances in the river that
they are usually able to accomplish in
half the time. To the steamboats, it
gives but little trouble, except to tugs
with lows. and then it delays them to
some extent.
The rivermen say that unless there is
another heavy and continued rain within
the next day or two the current will
have run off before the middle of the
week. The muddy water from the up
per river now extends almost to Mary
land point and some little fear is felt
that it may reach the oyster beds and
damage them.

MUCH HARD PRACTICE
FOR FORT MYER SHOW
Great Preparations for Per.
Torrance for the "0Iym-
pic" Team Fund.

The riding hall at Fort Myer these days
bears a close resemblance to the quarters
of large circus in indoor winter prac-
tice. Soldiers are busily training for the
benefit performance of the Olympic"
team fund, which will take place next
Friday afternoon and evening They form
pyramids and ride pair of horses bare
back over the hurdles, and that the men
are in excellent physical condition is
shown by the fact that few of them are
injured in the many bad spills which &C.
cur.
Another feat which tests the strength
and courage Of the men is picking up
pieces Of paper from the ground while
the horses are on the full run. In this
the men seem to be clinging to the stir
rups simply by their toes.
Probably the most attractive part of
the program is the full dress musical
drill of a full troop of cavalry, in which
the horses show an amount of intelli-
gence not surpassed by the trick horses
seen on the stage.
Battery Drill to Interest.
OF hardly less interest is the battery
drill, in which the men guide the guns
and caissons through a row Of pegs
set In the ground not much wider than
the tread of the wheels, the difficulty
being increased by the sharp turns.
Society will be interested in the high
jumping by the officers. There are sew
eral thoroughbreds at Fort Myer, which
are being ira ned to enter the cOmpeti-
tions at the Olympic games at Stockholm,
Sweden, against the best army horses of
all the great nations, and they are being
put through their PAGES at Fort Myer. 1t
is probable there will be some fine high
jumping at the exhibitions.
Army and navy circles, especially, are
taking great interest in the entertain
ment and nearly all of the boxes and
seats have been taken. The Secretary
ing performance and the Secretary of
the Navy and staff will attend the aft
ernOon performance.
Others Who Will Attend.
Others prominent in army and navy
life who will attend are Admiral and
