Two DAYS later we had what was
perhaps n more practical illustration OF
tho lightship's usefulness. IL was
hazy morning, and the mate was scan-
ming tho horizon with his glass.
Bringing it 10 bear TO the southwark,
he held IT long in that direction, while
look or anxiety came over his face.
Several of the crew joined him, and
finally one of them said, elf she keeps
that course five minutes longer she'll
be OH the shOal." Through the haze
O large three-mastcd schooner was
disccrnible, heading directly for reef
TO the southwest OF us. She was
evidently looking for the lightship, but
the haze had prevented her from sight
ing us, although our sharp lookout had
had his glass Ou her for some time.
Then, too, as the mate remarked Win
slightly critical smile. These cap
taius feel 81 sure of their course that
they always expect to raise us straight
ahead" Suddenly there was evidence
that she had sighted us She swung
around as swiftly as il she were turn
ing upon a pivot. Sic had been lung
ing along in an uncertain way, but the
sight of us seemed to ill her with new
life and buOyancy. Her sails filled, she
dashed through the waves with streaks
of white streaming along each quarter
like foam on the TANKS of 4 racc-horsc,
and OH she came, fairly quivering with
joy from keel to pennanI. Such IN
stances are of almost daily occurrence,
and if we add to them the occasions -
and they must run far up into the
hundreds, if not into the thousands
when the warning voice of the fog
bell and tho guiding CLEAN of the
lamps have saved vessels from ship
wreck, it seems as though the sailor
must look upon the South Shoal
Lightship as one of the guardian ALI
gels of the deep. -lCentury.

bal Don accident occurred today at Leeds
by which a balloonist aud psrachutist named
Higgins was killed, aud \ Miss Dewey hal a
narrow escape from death. When the ba =
loon was released il rapidly scared upward
amid the cheers of the crowd. A crossbar
was attached to the balloon, and 1t was the
mention of the couple to give trapeze per-
Torrance, and aftcrward TO descend by
means OF parachute. After the balloon
had risen short distance it was caught in q
current Of air and struck telegraph pole.
Tie couple were sitting on the
bar, and when the balloon struck
the pole the bar swayed to and fro in
n frightful manner. Miss Dewey, thinking
il would be safer TO drop from the bar
rather than be thrown from II, lowered her
self by her hands, hung for moment, and
then let go. The height from which she
dropped was not great, and she landed on
the ground unhurt. X, leased from her
weight, the balloon sprung upward, and, rs
Il did 80, Higgins. who still retained bis
place on the bar, became entangled In the
telegraph wires. and IN flash he was swept
of the bar md fell, twisting and turning,
upon fence, receiving such terrible injuries
that he died, after suffering for few mo-
ments the most intense agony.

Elmore, and others In their ranks there is no
reason why q fast eight could not he pro-
duced, especially with trainer of Couttney's
ability around TO give assistance. 1t would
seem queer to have the big National regatta
come and go right here at our bidding with
out representative crew from the Justly
famous Columbias.
The members OF the local committee of the
National regatta have received information
showing there will be more entries in this re-
gatta than In any previous one held by the
National Association. The number OF crews
in the vicinity of New York that are training
for the event is larger by half than ever be-
fore, and among these are the New York Ath-
letics, Manhattsns, Nassaus, Atalantss, Non
pariels, Ravenwoods, Metropoltans Varunas,
and Excelsiors. At Newark there are the
Tritons, Passaics, Institutes, and Eurekas. If
reports keep coming in as they have lately it
is very likely that the eights will have to be
rowed in heats, the first time in the history OF
the National Association. 1t is going to be
big affair.

Some curiosity has been expressed in
aquatic circles this year over the sudden ap-
pearance of phenomenal sculler in Philadel-
phia by the name of Hedley. He was un-
known last year, but like meteor he came
forth this year as member of the vesper
Club and has swept everything before him,
with one exception. His wonderful success
has led to inquiries as to his antecedents, and
Judge Tighe, of the Varuna Club of Brook
lyn, has learned enough to Justify him In en-
terlng protest against his future entrance in
amateur races. 1t appears that some MEM
bers Of the Vesper Club discovered Hedley at
the fishing shores, where he was following
the fortune of sailors life, and noticing his
aptness at the oars they induced him to come
to their club and become sculler. They Sc
cured him position in the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company and then fitted him out
with Hwing material. This is the burden of
Judge Ifghe's complaint, and which, il
proven, renders Hedley ineligible to row as
an amateur

A New Course Probable,

1t is very probable that the course In the
National regatta will be changed consider
ably from the one that has been in use since
1881. The old course commenced about a
quarter OF mile above the Long Bridge and
finished in diagonal line off the Analostan
house. To avoid this crooked course the COM
mittee are now surveying one that will give
them straighter and much better place. Last
week Messrs. Grant, Gibson, and Stinemetz,
OF the Columbias; Pairo, OF the Analostans,
and Trescott, of the Potomacs, went carefully
over the river from the Long Bridge to Easby's
Point, and the course that met with almnst
unanimous sanction was that which started
just at the lower end of the draw of the Long
Bridge. BY taking a direct line up stream
toward Easby's Point a perfectly straight
mile -and-a-half course can be secured that
will afford ample room for as many crews as
the committee desire to start in the heats. II
necessary twelve eights can start This course
would make the finish about one hundred
yards below Easbys Point. AS 1t would be
almost directly alongside the new walls erected
on the flats for the river improvements the
proposed course would afford our people
better opportunity to see the various races
than they have ever had. The reclaimed flats
are now In condition to allow many thousand
people to assemble there in safety to see the
riages and men on horseback can follow the
crews in their work. 1t is unquestionably
the best course In this Vicinity, as 1t is free
from eel grass, logs, and other distractions,
and has depth of at least five feet of water
Tor the entire distance. This course has not
been finally selected, but It is the one most
thought Of
