grocer purchased a 30-pound crock of
butter of a farmer whom he had never
dealt with before, and while down GEL

a trick to surprise the agriculturist.
Finding stone weighing about eight
pounds, the grocer creased it, carried
Hitaup stairs with the crock and, point

''This, of course, is to be taken from
the gross weight, us the JAR

face underwent sudden change.

Tho Amateur National Regatta.

On Tuesday next the amateur oarsmen Of
the United States will hold their annual re-
gatta on the Schuylkill River. 1t will con-
tinue for two days, and as there are some Of
the best crews who were entered at Saratoga,
together with some new additions to the en-
tries, the prospects of fine racing are excellent
and will prove an excellent preface to the
international contests to take place over tho
same course between the oarsmen of Eng
land, Ireland, Canada and the United States
a week later. The races, as in the interna-
tional regatta, will be in heats-mile and a half
straightaway. Yale, Columbia, the Beaver
wycks, Argonautas and Atalantas will take
part in the fours. 1t is matter Of regret
that the Sho-wae-cae-mettes are not entered
for either the national or international
events, and the Northwestern men are only
entered IN the international, wisely prefer
ring to hold back for the great event of the
year, in which they expect to meet the best
foreign and American oarsmen. Courtenay,
Yates, Riley, Kennedy and the rest of the
brilliant galaxy of scullers will row for the
national prizes, so that the foreign scullers
can judge of their mettle, learn their pace
and know what they will have to contend
against. Some Of the contestants in the
doubles and pairs will also row in the fours-
an unwise proceeding, if the races are close
upon each other for there is such thing as
men attemptiAg to do too much and succeed
ing in accomplishing but little. From pres
ent appearances the coming regatta Of the
National Association will be the most sue
cessful since its formation.

formances Of a scale of grandeur such as no
audience ever witnessed before The great
music drama of the "Ring Of the Nibe-

nitude that it required twenty years to
bring it forth from its embryo state in the
mind Of the composer to the fulness Of its
majestic proportions, was brought to sue
cessful close The scene was memorable
one, the event an epoch in art history.
Royal dignitaries and literary and musical
celebrities united in an outburst of applause
that brought the composer before the cur
tain. 1t was triumph that seldom falls to
the lot of any human being, one that amply
repaid long, weary years Of toll, dis
appointment and trouble, and placed
upon the brow of the composer
the laurels of immortality. hero, "a
