RACED FOR HIS Love.
Two Girls Row on Prospect Park
Lake---Fred Boehm the Prize.
Mamie Butler Won and MolIie Mac.
fadden Wept.
At First They Were Going to Settle
Things by Means OF a Duel.

The facts concerning an exciting boat
race which took place last evening be
tween two handsome young women on
the lake in Prospect Park were learned
to-day.
The prize for which the girls con
tended was. it is said. the privilege
to claim Frederick Boehm, of 81 clifton
place. as the victor's steady company.
The young women. whose names are
Nellie MacFadden. of IS Wilson street,
Williamsburg, and Mamie Butler, of this
city, visited the lake shortly after Z
O'Clock. accompanied by a well-dressed
young man. who Is believed to be the
prize. They each jumped into a light
skin. the young man gave them the
word. and off they started The race
was from the boathouse to the end Of
the lake and back. a distance OF about
mile. Both of the young women are
experts with the oars. and on the home
stretch raced side by side.
When within about aeven yards OF the
boat house Miss Butler spurted and won
by half boat length. When the two
had dtsembarked Miss MacFadden sat
down on a bench and wept bitterly, while
Miss Butler took the arm OF the young
man and walked away with him.
Miss MacF'adden told her story to a
number of sympathetic bystanders. and
added that at first she and Miss Butler
had decided to fight duel. but finally
thought that n boat race would be just
as satisfactory.
An Evening World' reporter called
at the house 3s Wilson street this fore
noon. but Nellie was not visible. Her
sister-in-law. Mrs. John MscFadden,
with whom Nellie lives. said that the
young woman had gone to her employ
ment and could not be seen until even
ing.
Mrs. MaCFadden admitted he facts
about the boat race and added:
My husband will be very angry with
Nellie hrst. because she was n fool, and.
second. because she allowed herself 10
be beaten. John Is an expert oarsman
and he taught Nellie all she knew about
rowing"

LONG ISLAND CITY, Aug. S-Police

mind to put stop to the interference

loafers and hangers-on about the cor

assaulted and hars ssed by toushs.

FOR MUTUAL PROTECTION.
The Fire Boys of San Antonio are
Establishing a Benevolent


By permission of Fire Chief Ke-
hoe the working members of the
fire department are establishing a
Fraternal society. This, of course,
will not be of a Grades union" or
der but merely social and benevo-
lent, mainly intended to aid men,
bers in sickness, distress or dis
ability.
In speaking of this movement a
fireman said: eve think this nec-
essary and are doing it. At the
same time we are of the opinion
that San Antonio, like some other
cities, should support her firemen
in sickness and when disabled by
injury received in the discharge
of duty. 1t would be an en-
enlargement to deeds of valor
in rescuing life and property
to know that if injury
or death followed our wives and
children were provided for. If,
however the city cannot, or will
not, do this then l think that they
should, as some railroads for bene-
fit of their employees, pay annual
ly to the treasurer of the fireman's
society subscription of at
least not less than the
amount subscribed by the
firemen collectively during the
year. Another thing about this So
ciety is that appreciative citizens,
whose property the firemen have
saved, can give substantial
mark of their appreciation by do
mating a sum to the fund, knowing
that it will be well and judicious-
ly used for the benefit of the de-
partment members"
