and that he would not do so If he were
held and guided.
The baby was so proud Of his ac-
complishment that he started on an
other journey over to small table that

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

May 81, 1S63.-The statuary in
| tended for the pediment OF the portico
| of the north wing of the Capitol, most
| of which has been for long time on
exhibition in the old hall Of the House
! of Representatives, has been removed
to the foot Of the center portico and is
being put together preparatory to being
placed in the position it is to occupy.
This statuary is from designs by
Crawford, and was executed at the
| Capitol workshops in admirable style,
as visitors have occasion to notice.
The central figure is the Goddess OF
Liberty, and on the right are the fol-
lowing pieces:
The Woodman, in the act Of cutting
| tree; The Hunter, an Indian boy
| with hound by his side and game
slung over his shoulder; The Indian
! Squaw, in pensive attitude with
papoose and grave.
On the left Of the goddess is figure
| representing the military element OF
| the country; commerce, represented by
| a merchant seated on bale of goods,
examining globe and surrounded by
boxes and bales; education, represented
| by a teacher and scholars; the in
| dustrial arts, represented by mechanic
| with a hammer in his hand, leaning
| against a cog-wheel; a wheat sheaf
and an anchor of hope.
The first race Of the season came
off this afternoon under the auspices
of the Washington Trotting Club on
| the course near Piney Branch, Of
which Joseph L. Heise is proprietor.
It was attended by big crowd of be-
tween $500 and 1000 persons. Every
thing went of in the best Of order.
The entries were: Gray mare, Dolly,
A. L. Truitte; bay gelding, Billy, p.
I Merhling; Finley, T. Williams, and Red
Bird, A. Dorsey. The purse of 5000
was won by Dolly in 3:04 and sos.
Billy came in second, Red Bird third
| and Finley last.
After this race a running race took
place, during which one of the riders
was thrown from his horse but not
hurt.

Washington City and incidents con-
nected with the war for the Union is
