OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 1884.
No one can longer doubt that
this city is fit to be the capitol of a
great country. The comprehen
sive plan on which it was laid out
in the early years of the struggling
republic, gives one a fresh respect
for those far-sighted fathers who
could even then devise a scheme
which should to-day fit the necessi
ties of the seat of government for
fift millions of people, and be ca
pable of equal development with
the progress of the nation hereaf
ter. The broad avenue are a con
stant source of delight, the )arks
and squares are ample for the needs
of a large city, and the great sys
tem of improvements, carried
through under the Sheperd regi
me, laid the basis for the transfor
mation of Washington from a
straggling and neglected town to a
handsome metropilis. Nothing goes
farther to justify the choice of'this
locality as the capital than its cli
mate. Though it suffers from the
Sum mer heats, its teml)erature
during by far the larger part of
the year is most comfortable, and
the change from the inclement
weather, Which preval1S over the
greater portion of the country
through the winter months to the
usual balmy air of the cal)ital is
sl)ecially grateful. Indeed, as a
winter residence, Washington pos
sesses greater charms than any
other city on the continent, what
with its mild weather, its except
ional social advantages and the at
tractions which the meeting of
Congress presents to any one inter
ested in stutdying our system of
government at its fountain-head.
Every year the capitol is becom..
ing more and more the winiter
head1-quarters for people of leisure,
for persons of literary taste, for
students of politics, for (devorees of~
fashion, and1 a comp~ositc society is1
gr'adulally growing up in wich ev
eryhody is sure to find congenial
elements.
The Potomac river regatta was
rowed under peculiar (disadvanta
ges yesterday. Recent rains had
caused a small freshet in the river,
the wind for a time blew almost a
gale, and two of' the races were
r'owedl in a driving rain. Trhe
strong current gave the crew8
drawing the Virginia side of the
river a slight advantage. In the
second race the Potomnacs had th e
Virginia side, Elizabeths the mid
(die and Columbia the Maryland
-idle, Before the start the Colum
as were the favorites against the
d. In the fourth race the Nor
ning, but at the mile stake No. 2.,
of the Norfolk boat stopped row,
ing. His companions begged him
not to give up, but he could( go no
farther. He was played out. The
Pennsylyanians then nearly lost
the I ace to the (ol umbia, biut forc
ed the latter into a lot of pleasur'
boats and won. The Columbias
could not complain. as they wei
out of their water. The eight oar
ed r'aee between the Potomac and
Columbia was the best contested of
the day. It was one continuous
sput froi start to finish. and up
to the inile stake was anybody's
r'ace Th'lie Col umI bia shot across
the line winntier. 'he Potomne won
four out of the six races
It is expected that the lesi(len
tiaIl intaugu ration hall to he giveni
next March. will take place in the
n1ew pension office building, the
construction of which will i be far
e rough advanced by that time for
thev pur-pose.
