almond, Massachusetts, August Is. The
month of August consequently Will be
notable one to those interested IN
aquatics.
The course over which the Detroit
races will be rowed is opposite Belle
Isle and is said to be one of the finest
stretches OF water for rowing purposes
in the United States. In addition to the
regular annual events scheduled by the
n. A. A. o. there seems to be bare
possibility that the Cornell varsity crew
and the Cambridge (England) eight
may struggle for supremacy. The Cam
bridge crew was this year beaten by Ok
ford and is consequently anxious to in a
measure retrieve its fortunes. The
Cornell eight recently defeated the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and is rowing
in very good form this year. As Cam
bridge does net represent the English
cham pionship, she will probably not
send her crew to America.
At one time there was hope that the
champion oxford crew would visit the
United States or that Yale would flash
her famous blue on England's Thames,
but although and enterprisinR Ameri-
can editor went so far as TO offer TO pay
the expenses of either Oxford or Yale
on foreign trip neither crew could be
induced TO tempt outrageous fortune in
strange waters. This decision was
great disappointment TO lovers OF row.

events on the programme-slngle scull
races, double scull shells, pair Dared
shells, four cared shells, junior eight
Dared shells, intermediate eight Dared
shells and special international race.
Among the prominent oarSmen who
will probably compete for the single
scull championship are William Calf

tional champion in 1890 and 1891; Jos.
w. Bergen, of Boston, winner or the
Quarter mile national championship In
1891, and Thomas w. Higgins, the
noted Worcester Mass sculler, who
has defeated both Caffrey and Bergen.

Another long distance man is Fried
rich, the Austrian. He is tireless
rider and is always very much in it, no
matter how hot the pace or how long
the race. He has won over seventy
races in five years and holds all the long
distance records OF Austria.
A. w. Harris will probably represent
England. but as the National Cyclists
union has branded Zimmerman as pro-
fesslonal Harris cannot very well COM
pete against him here and remain an
amateur at home. Even II he races.
Harris will not be dangerous unless his
form Is greatly improved. Sanger re-
Gently defeated him with ease at the
English championship contests, and
Windle, Johnson or Zimmerman could
undoubtedly distance him. The fastest
man in England is j. w. Schofeld, but
he has been declared a makers anna
teur" by the N. Z. U. and cannot COM
pete aNlnst amateurs. There are at
least three American riders. however,
who are his equals il not his superiors.
A. Du eros, the Emerald Isles repre-
sentative, holds six Irish championships,
rides like the wind and has no end OF
pluck and endurance. He has had 13
years of experience and has been famous
al home and abroad for seven OF them.
1t is believed that he will make a very
good showing at Chicago.
J. M. McLaren, the Scotch champion,
is swift rider, but aA,Zimmerman easl-
ly defeated him at Glasgow not long ago
he is not looked upon as dangerous
championship candidate.
William Hyslop, Jr., holds the one and
two mile championships OF Canada, but
is hardly in the same class as thinner
man, Wlndle and johnson. Luigi
Cantu' the Italian champion, seems To
possess endless endurance and rides well
at all distances. He may make 1t In
teresting for Spooner. Meintjes and
other long distance men at the World s

branches of rowing will be features OF
the regatta.
Professional rowing is at rather low
ebb in America al present, but there Is
considerable interest in the three-mile
race between Stansbury and Gaudaur
Aug. Is for the reason that Gaudaur
will attempt to wrest from the Austral-
ian oarsman the title OF champion SIM
gle sculler OF the world. James STAINS
bury won the championship In 1890
after the death OF Champion Henry
Searle. The late William OConnor,
single scull champion OF America In
1855, visited Australia and rowed STAINS
bury for the vacant title, but was
beaten. Stansbury has been in America
several months and has already
been defeated by Gaudaur In a race
between several crack oarsmen. ia
cob Gaudar was single scull champion
OF America in 1856 and early in 1887.
when he defeated John Teemer and Ed
ward Hanlan respectively. In july
1887, however, Hanlan turned the tables
on Gaudaur. and In October Teemer also
outrowed the Canadian.
Gaudaur and his rowing partner. John
Mckay, won the double SOULS champi-
onship in 1883 by defeating Teemer and
Hamm, but were in turn worsted by
Hanlan and O'Connor in 1891. Last
year Gaudaur and Hosmer won the
double SOULS championship by outrow-
ing Hanlan and O'Connor.
Richard X. Fox is endeavoring to In,
fuse new life into professional rowing,
and for this purpose he has offered the
Fox cup for single scullers-a silver
trophy which cost $1,000 and is over
two feet in height. The cup is to rep
resent the championship OF the world,
and becomes the property Of any oars
man who hold 1t for three years against
all corners or who wins it three times in
succession. The deed OF gift provides
that all races must be five miles, with
turn, in American waters, and for at
least 81, 900 a side, and-that the holder
of the trophy must accept all bona fide
challenges within thirty days or forfeit
his claim to the cup. 1t is expected
that the leading single sculler OF the
world-Gaudaur, Stansbury, Hanlan,
Hosmer and others-will row for the
trophy at Chicago during August.

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.

The pension bureau is going right
along in its work Of ferreting out pen
siOns unlawfully or fraudulentIy OBJ
tanned, and it is after the influential
as well as the hum ble-the rich and
the poor. Some days ago a great
hullabaloo was raised in some OF the
Republican papers because the pen
sion of Judge Dean Long, OF the Su-
preme Court of Michigan, had been
suspended. The pension officials
however, had good reason for their
action, as the facts have shown.
Judge Long has one arm amputated
above the elbow and a gunshOt
wound in the hip. Tie gets a pension
OF S72 a month for this total disabil-
ily," although he is perfectly able to
attend to the duties Of his Office as
Judge, for which he draws a big sala-
ry. He got his pension in n queer
way. In 1884, when he was drawing
a pension of $50 q month, he tried for
an increase, but the medical eXamin-
ING board decided he was not entitled
to it. The judge got on the right
side of Commissioner Dudley and that
official arbitrarily increased his pen
sion to $50 a month. When the no
torious Corporal Tanner came into
power the Judge put in for a big
whack at the Treasury. Without
anv further examination, and in di-
rect violation of the law, Tanner rail
roaded his claim through in one day,
advanced it to $72 month, and al
lowed him $4,000 back pay. This was
in May, 1899. In July of the same
year the still unsatislied judge put in
another claim, which the obliging
Tanner allowed, asking that his pen
sion be rerated from 1862 to 1868, and
from 1872 to 1874 This little divvy
netted about one thousand dollars,
and all was plain sailing until the
present administration oyerhauled
the papers and saw how the law had
been violated.
This is only sample of the corrup-
ton existing in the pension bureau,
for which the Republicans of several
administrations are responsible. 1t
is fortunate thing for the country
that men of honesty and ability are
the frauds.
