and enthusiastic an attendance of sOcie-

the turnout yesterday was as fashiona-
BILE and fully as enthusiastic as usual.
AS early as o'clock the crews were
out for preliminary paddle, and a
couple of fast bursts showed them to be
in the pink of condition to man.
When the time announced for the open
ing event arrived, the island presented
a gay spectacle Seated in the stand
were the early arrivals, and seldom has
a more imposing display of beauty in
form, feature, and coStuming been
presented. Stroliing i'll couples
over the green turf went those to whom
seats were not compensation enough
for the loss of a tete tete ramble be-
meath the island elmS, and whose
interest in the racing was confined to
the few exciting seconds which told the
story of close finish. The club colorS
were everywhere. Every one OF the
lovely maids thronging the yerandaS
and other vantage points about the
island flew the colors of her own par
ticular champion, aye and backed him
to win, as we'll. What wonder then

until the half mile point had
been reached, when Nettleton quick
ened his stroke and gradually drew
away, putting daylight between the
boats in the next quarter. At the turn
the race was over. Brown had killed
himself in the first terrific burst of
speed and couldn't stay. Nettleton set
an easy pace for the pull home. and
maintained his lead without effort,
crossing the line in 10 min 7 secs.
Brown seemed overturned, and though
his style was magnificent, seemed to
lack strength for the distance. AS be-

One thing in connection with this
particular Fourth of July has been It's
remarkable freedom from the number
less casualties which have usually
marked the advent of the day. The
lakes we're thronged with boating par
ties and none have been drowned. The
railroads we've taxed to their utmost
capacity, yet no accident occurred. By
the same providence there have been
during the forty-eight hours past no
fires of any importance, though the
city has been a blaze of gunpowder
from end to end. No shooting serapes,
no cutting affrays, but few street brawls
in fact, nothing but good-natured
and harmless celebration of the greatest
day in American history. Truly the
world is growing better.

A SUBMARINE MOTOR.
Invention OF a kansan by Which He
Hopes to Revolutionize Things.

Cheap power has been long looked for
as a possibility. The attention of the
American people, was at one time
directed toward Keely expecting he
might be able to accomplish this desired
result.
The invention above referred to is
submarine current water motor, Invented
by j. w. Hile of our city, says the Farm
ers' Vindicator of Valley Falls, Kan. 1t
is propelled by the natural current of
running water. No dam is required for
this motor In wide shallow streams, it
is simply necessary to drive sufficient
number of piles to throw the current on
one side or near the center in low water.
In large streams these motors will fur
nish any required amount of power.
They are placed in the water below
freezing point and drift wood, and are
easily anchored. Mr.. Hile has made and
tested two machines which have proven
successful beyond a question.
OF all the various schemes which have
been offered to utilize the power in the
watersrof the Niagara, in point OF econ
omy, none have been offered that will
compare with these motors. y line of
these motors placed in the current above
the falls would furnish sufficient power
for the state OF New York.
Two or more motors placed Just below
or between the piers of the st. Louis
bridge would furnish ample power for
electric lights, pumping water and all
the power necessary for the manufacture
| ing interests in St Louis at a compare
| lively triling expense. AS tidal power
| machine these motors have no equal. II
matters not whether the tide is going
out or coming in, the motor will turn in
| h1 a Gt.
ance in carrying the peddles up stream
is only one horse power, in 25O horse
| power machine.
Unquestionably these motors offer the
cheapest available power known. The
inventor is a practical engineer and We
believe the invention is one of the mos
| important of modern times.
