MATTERS OF SPORTING.
Still Another ReEatta--SaIurday
Kaces--Other Notes.

In addition to the regatta arranged TO
transpire at Minnetonka beach on SATURDAY..
still another one is about ready and will be
given at Calhoun on Friday afternoon. The
program is the same as for Saturday. being
composed OF a four-oar race and senior and
Junior singles. The prizes in each case will
be elegant diamond pins, which are now on
exhibition in the window of Il Nicollet ave
nue. jewelry store. st. Paul and Saltwater
have announced their intention of entering
and the LurlineS will have an entry for
each race. In the four-Oar crew the Lur-
lines will have Stone and Nagle, with the
other two to be selected. Stone viii not
row with the WatsOns, which makes this ar
rangement necessary. At this regatta
there will also be a s1iff race across the
lake between Isaac Walbone and l.. Moon
for SO side.
SATURDAYS REGATTA.
The Lurline four-oar crew for the Min
netOnka regatta will be Che same as on Fri
day, but it is not yet given out who the adj
ditiOnal men are. The other entries all
around have previously been given. The
prizes are gold watches and diamond pins.
and the oarSmen will exert themselves for
trophies SO handsome. In this connection.
it might be said, the Lurlines are rather
wrOth with their brethren of the Minnesota
club. A member of the former said yester-
day: 1--WE have been trying to get four-oar
crew from the Minnesota club TO come over
here, but Mr.. Parker said they could not get
up crew, as it was almost impossible to
get crew to row on their own river. But
as soon as these watches and diamonds are
offered as prizes they get up two crews very
quickly"
Another member said there was "a high
toned kick from the Minnesota club
against Stone pulling in the four-oar crew.
because, probably, neither Schiffmann nor
Norman Wright would pull in the Mime
sofa crew. Il think" said he. 1.-The GLOBE
ought to say Schiffmann is not behaving
right He promised any number of people
he would pull against Stone again. and now
he refuses to row. If he thinks he can
afford to retire on laurels won from a sick
man, his friends ought To take him in
hand"
SPORTING NOTES.

two best boxers in the West. will give a

''Where ignorance is bliss it's folly to be
wise" Ignorance was bliss, but John
johnson is undoubtedly strangely impressed
with the idea that he would have com
mitted no folly had he better posted him
self respecting the marriage laws of the
state. Johnson, together with his sister
and his sweetheart, Sarah Anderson. were
before Judge MahOney yesterday morning.
They had been routed from a room in South
Minneapolis. They were charged with oc-
cupying rooms for immoral purposes. to
draw IL mild. Johnson explained in broken
English that Sarah was his wife and the
other his sister. He went to the court house
in June and got marriage license and that
fixed him. lie was informed that the mar
rage license was only the initiatory step,
that ceremony had to be performed, etc.
He seemed astOniShed and asked for the
ceremony, and ii was given him.

ST. BARNABAS sCORCHED.
Two Buildings Attached TO the Hos
pifaE Burned.

About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
flames were seen issuing from the windows
of the laundry room in the frame building
at the corner of Ninth avenue and Sixth
street. adjoining and occupied as a
branch of st. Banabas hospital. DR.. r.
Burke, who made the discovery, immedi-
ately telegraphed the FIRE department, and
q few minutes later the janitor of the court
house, who noticed the smoke, turned in
an alarm from box %. The building was
an old one, and burned like finder, so that
by the time of the arrival of the fire de-
partment the flames had mounted to the
root. Very little wind was stirring, but
the flames ignited a small one-Story build
ing called the pavilion. which was located
about twenty feet distant in the rear
and occupied as a fever ward. In this
building were six patients: John Schalter.
Chris Nelson and Joseph Halliday. confined
with typhoid fever; Jack Wood. John
Gross and Joe Apple, who were receiving
surgical treatment. They We're all success
fully removed, under the direction of Dr.
O'Brien, to the brick hospital building with
little injury, although the exposure may, in
one or two instances, prove serious. Three
patients in the other burning structure were
also removed without difficulty. The
neighbors succeeded in carrying out all the
furniture on the first floor, and portion of
that on the second floor. The firemen pre-
vented the flames from injuring the main
hospital building, which was distant only
q few feet, and within an hour the ire was
entirely out.
The damage probably amounts to be-
tween So, 500 and 50, 600, the insurance be-
ing for 81, 600. The building was an old
dwelling. which had been painted and
patched up SO as to give it presentable APP
peaTance. On the first floor were seven
rooms, including dining-roOm and kitchen.
while the laundry in which the fire origin
ated occupied small shed at the rear. On
the second floor were eight rooms for
patients. with dispensary and store-rOom.
The stock of medicine in the dispensary
was entirely destroyed, the loss being about
$500. There are at present only twenty
three patients to be cared for, and they can
all be accommodated with quarters in the
main building. As the Brotherhood of
Gethsemane, by which the hospital is prin-
cipally supported, intended in the spring to
tear down the buildings which burned yes
terday and rebuild on a more extensive
scale, IT is not apprehended that the incon-
venience experienced will be serious. The
insurance amounts to $4,000, which ap-
proXimates the loss within a few hundred
1olaTs. The loss of the kitchen occasions
temporary Inconvenience, as about forty
persons Will have to be provided for until
hther repairs are made or a new building
put up.

The license Question.

The grOcers of the city have insinuated
that the authorities have been lax i'm search
Ing out people who peddle withouta license.
y GLOBE reporter interviewed Sergt.
Smith. the license inspector, regarding the
matter yesterday. Mr.. Smith stated that he
did not think the grOcers had ground for
formulating a kick. He had watched the
peddlers closely. and in all cases where he
found peddlers without a license he COM
PEELED them to get one forthwith. He
thought the fact that perhaps misleads the
grocerS is, that they frequently demand of
peddier 10 see his license. The peddler
becomes indignant and peremptorily re-
fuses. The grOcers AT once Jump at the
conclusion that the Deddler has no license
