FOREIGN BOATS DUE HERE.
Bark Matanzas and Steamship Ulle1
on the Way.

Two vessels from foreign ports should
arrive here this week. unless they are
delayed on their voyages much longer
than is expected. The bark Matanzas,
which has aboard laths from st. Johns,
New Brunswick. for johnson e. Wimsatt,
sailed from her loading point September
10 and day or two later was reported
at Eastport, Me. Since leaving there, 1t
is said, she has had easterly weather that
should bring her down the coast at more
than steamboat speed so that her arrival
at the capes of the Chesapeake is looked
for at any time. In spite Of the fact that
the Matanzas has not a lath on deck she
is bringing the largest cargo OF the COM
modify that has ever been brought here
in one vessel.
The second vessel coming from foreign
shores is the Norwegian steamship Iller
which has aboard asphalt frmo the Island
of Trinidad consigned to one of the
local paving companies. The Cller left
Port of Spain September IL, and should
make the trip within a week Accord
Ing to Pilot John Barclay she should be

ST. PATRICK'S BOYS PLAN
Busy Season in Athletics During the
Winter.

The st. Patrick's High School boys at
Carroll Institute have already begun
work on the athletic program to be car
ried out during the present scholastic
year. Practically all branches Of high
from the Patricians. although 1t is prob
able that Rugby foot ball will be replaced
by soccer.
The excellent advantages which will be
afforded the students by the use of the
gymnasium of the Carroll Institute
should enable the boys to produce a
speedy track team. since especial atten-
tion will be given to that sport. With
such material as Shipley, Holmes and
WyHe. the men feel confident they will
come up to the expectations of the fans
In every respect.
The basket ball season will be anxiously
awaited by the Patricians. who bid fair
TO round into shape in a short time and
strike a stride that will place them high
in the basket ball world. Having played
together for number of years. it is to be
expected that they will put up Supe-
rior article of ball this season. OF the vet
Grams at the game, Thuee seems to give
promise of exceptional ability at .t'Shoot-
ing" He will probably be assisted by
Wintermyer. while Shipley seems to have
the swing of a firSt-class center. 1t is
doubtful about the defense men, but
many promising youngsters will give the
winners of the places a hard fight for
their positions. These will be picked from
Holmes, Roddy or Frye. but as all can
not represent the school on the first
team many excellent players will remain
with whom to form a second team.
Preliminary steps have been taken to
form troop of boy scouts and the num-
Der who have applied for admission
forms matter for qualification to the
promoters of that organization. The con-
school inf
the hands of the scouts who constitute
that troop. The prospects. therefore. of
a successful year loom large on the
horizon of school boy sports.

WHARF A BUSY MART,
Total of twenty-five Vessels Arrive
With CargoeS.

of the twenty-five or more vessels that
the southerly winds brought into port
Sunday and yesterday fourteen were
berthed at the oyster and fish wharves
at the foot of 18th street. There We're
no wood or lumber laden vessels in the
fleet, but there were two potato-laden
craft, two with canned tomatoes from the
lower Potomac packing houses. one soli-
iary schooner with watermelons and nine
with oysters in the shell.
The big fleet of vessels of all sizes, in
spite of the downpour of rain, made the
oyster wharf busy place. and there was
q steady stream of wagons laden with
potatoes, melons and oysters leaving the
wharf all day. The rainy weather pre-
vented the unloading of the canned goods,
and the cargoes on deck were kept care
fully covered with canvas.
Tho eleven other vessels that berthed
other than at the 18th street wharf had
aboard wood and lumber. more Of the
former than of the latter. BY tomor-
row night most of the fleet will have I'M
loaded and will have sailed, or be ready
to sail, for doWn-riyer points to load.

MELONS AND OYSTERS.
Good Supply Of Both at the 18th
Street Wharf.

Experts in the watermelon selling in
dustry at the 18th street wharf market
agreed several days ago that the season
was over for the summer. but they were
evidently fooled. Lying at the 18th street
wharf, mixed in with crafts laden with
oysters, potatoes and canned goods, is the
schooner Luray with several thousand
fine watermelons aboard, and it is said
there are several more cargoes at the
point on Chesapeake bay from which the
Luray came waiting to be brought to
market, SO that 1t is probable that melons
will be on sale at the wharf market for
the remainder of this month.
The wharf experts are missing their
guess everywhere. Last week they said
that oyster-laden craft at the wharf mar
ket would be few and far between. They
didn't know. Yesterday there were nine
vessels with the bivalves aboard tied up
in the docks and more are coming. 1t is
true the nine vessels brought all told less
than 1,JOO bushels of oysters, but 1T Is
said the warm weather. and not the Agri-
cultural Department, is responsible for
the small jags they had aboard.
Oysters at the wharf market are SELL
ing at from 80 to 60 cents per bushel. and
they all come from the portion of the
Potomac in the vicinity of Ragged point
and below.
