Cambridge Not in the Race
From the Start.
Crowds Of People Attended the 57th
Annual Struggle Of the Rivals.
The Victorious Crew Finished a Length
and a. Half Ahead.

PUTNEY, Eng, March 30.-Oxford won
the 9th race today between the crews
representing the universities at Oxford
and Cambridge, crossing the line two
lengths ahead.
Ihe morning was gloomy and cold, but
this did not prevent crowds OF people
from vending their way TO Putney In
order to watch the final practice OF the
crews.
During the morning both the Oxford
and Cambridge crew practiced starting
for about a quarter of an hour. Rain fell
at intervals throughout the morning and
strong southwest wind was blowing,
but the banks of the river Thames were
crowed at an early hour.
At p. m. the Cambridge coxswain
went over the course again in steam
launch.
Happily the wind moderated greatly
during the afternoon and at $3.50 p. m.
was very light and the water was almost
smooth.
Oxford won the toss and choose the
Surrey side of the river. The scene on the
Thames was as animated as usual and un-
til the course was cleared, the river was
alive with crafts of all kinds.
The official time OF the winning boat Is
announced to be 20 minutes, so seconds.
The betting just previous to the start
was unchanged from that OF last night
when the odds were Q to 2 on Oxford.
The crews started at 4:0S p. m. and
Oxford soon had lead of half length.
At Clasper's boat house Oxford held her
lead, but at Craven less than
quarter Of a mile from the start, Oxford
was only a quarter of length ahead, and
at Walden's the dark blue boat had not
increased this lead.
At Hammersmith Bridge, little over
one and three-quarter miles from the
start, Oxford had increased the lead to
half nj IN w w 4 ha
At Thornycrofts, about three miles
from the start, Oxford was a length and
a quarter ahead, and at the Devonshire
Meadows the dark blue crew was leading
by two lengths.
Oxford, at Barnes Bridge, slightly over
3h miles from the start, held the lead of
two lengths and won by that distance.
Oxford started at 40 strokes to minute,
the Cambridge stroke contenting himself
with 3S. The dark blue throughout the
race pulled steadily and like clock work.
Opposite the Lead Mills, Cambridge drew
up little, but the hopes of the admirers
of the dark blue faded away, and Oxford
increased her lead as she liked.
Opposite the Groves, about two miles
from the start, Oxford was pulling 80 and
Cambridge 3S strokes to the minute.
Shortly after passing the Groves, Cam
bridge again spurted and reduced Ok
ford's lead a trifie. But the dark blues
had increased their lead to two lengths at
the Devonshire Meadows, and this lead
Cambridge could not cut down to any
great extent.
When the Oxford boat shot by Barnes
Bridge, the dark blues were rowing we'll
within their strength and in perfect form.
The Cantabs rowed gallantly throughout
and did better than expected but they
evidently mad enough of it at the finish.
According to the judges decision Ok
ford won by length and a half.

The old-time visionary inventor has
given place to the practical, hard-work-
ing professional inventor OF today.
The successful inventor must now be a
business man as well as a man of me-
cbRnical ideas.
The high tension Of the nervous system,
often kept up for months and months,
makes tr~ mendous drafts on the health
of those busy brain workers. Many sue
cumb to nervous prostration when they
seem just on the point of surmounting
every difficulty.
OF all the countless recent useful inven-
tons none has passed through so many or
SO rapid a course of improvements as the
typewriter. Today the latest perfected
machine is undoubtedly the Williams
Typewriter, which represents vast
amount of cumulative invention.

Save Your Cash.

Many persons are led to believe
that ROBINSON'S AUCTION ROOM,
at l55 Weybosset Street, con-
tains nothing but secondhand
goods. On the contrary, q visit
to this large furniture house will
convince every one that we have
as fine and full lines of brand new,
frst-class Housefurnishings and
Carpets as can be found else
where. These goods are exactly
the same, but the PRICES are far
below those of any other Store.
For instance, a fine polished,
CHARTERED Oak Chamber Set, with
a large French-plate Mirror, for
S33. The same quality of Set
elsewhere sells for S48 cash.
Buyers should look over our i'm

most useful and important inventions
were made by him before he produced the

Mr.. Williams, speaking OF the labor ex-

bears his name to its present perfection,
says:
"Some four years ago, when en-
gagged in experimental work on the

hours per day OF hard work and

difficult to digest and assimilate my food,

The Chinese Deficient In Military system
and Discipline.

The Chinese are an untidy race,
whose cities in their native country are
frightfully unclean, and whose special
quarters in our cities are apt 70 afford
anxiety to boards 90 health. The Jap
anese. on the contrary, are extremely
cleanly. orderly and neat; and one of
the stories told of Pninese soldiers in
the present war tends to show that
this difference has played no small part
in determining victory or defeat.
The japanese are armed with mod
ern weapons. of which they take ex-
cellent care. and which they handle
with skill and efficiency. A lady writ
ing from China says that the Chinese
troops ace provided with a curious va
riety of European arms, obsolete,
ancient and new; and that cartridges
for perhaps twenty different makes
are all served out together.
In Manchuria she actually saw cart
ridges piled carelessly on the ground,
mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps
like potatOcs-long and short, fat and
thin. all mixed together, and soldiers

and throwing away those which were
too large or too SMALL"
No wonder the Cinnamon do not
stand before the Japanese. As soon as
the cartridges each man happens to
carry are exhausted he can only de-
pend on one chance in twenty of get

dom waits that chance; he runs, and
throws his useless rifle promptly away
that he may run the faster.-London

casual observer would have put him
down as a mechanic, but his hands
were as soft as a wonan's. lie ordered
milk and rolls, and when lie had about
half finished a young woman came in.
She was poorly clad, and hestating for
a moment at the first table, she took
courage and, goingI close up to the
table, she spoke to the man who was
eating a big dinner.
With frown he answered: moi"
She was disappointed, and her looks
showed it. Then hSr eyes falling on
the mechanic with tie soft hands. she
went up TO him, and with a voice that
seemed full of sorrow, she said:

The writer soon followed and a few
yards up the street two familiar figures
met his gaze. They were the young

milk and rolls. The pantomime was
brief and plain. She dumped a hand
full of small change in his hand and
they started down the street together.

LET THEM EAT GRASS.
BY All Means Let sows and Pigs Go Out
to Pasture.


to Pasture.
Various methods of doing this could
I've adopted, but the following would
meet the case of many of those who
keep number of brood sows: Keep
both sows and pigs in the pens until
the latter are almost one week old.
Then let the sows go out to pasture
after they have been given the morn
ing meal. The pasture should not be
far away, and may consist of rye or
blue grass, followed by barley or clo-
yer. The sows will not remain out
long at first, but will return to their
pigs, and this will accustom them grad
ually to the grass portion of the diet.
They will stay out longer from day to
day. but should always be allowed in
to their pigs when they return.
At the age of three weeks the pigs
may be allowed to go out with their
dams. but continue to feed the sows
regularly inside, and they will return
at or before meal time. Feed three
times a day until the pigs are weaned.
But much care should be taken not to
let the young pigs go out when the
grass is wet from dew or rain, lest they
take cold, and be watch full not to have
them or the dams out in time of rain.
A cold rainstorm will greatly injure
the sows, and it may so affect the young
pigs that they will die. even though
the dam only has been exposed.
The advantages of pasturiDg young
pigs with their dams are many. They
include the following: First, the exer-
else is good for both; second, change Of
diet is excellent for both if gradually
made; third, no kind of food is so cheap
for making pork during the growing
period as a well-ordered pasture
