will give an exhibition of feminine
ability at rowing that is seldom seen.
NJ. A. st. John will be referee of the
race. The Casco Bay Steamboat company
will run two extra trips at 1 and 3o'clock
to Long island.
This race was brought about by Fred
Plaisted. the famous oarsman, whose
place at Mariners Landing has been SC
popular with picnics parties this summer.
He offers a prize of $3.50 for the winner OF
the race.
A PRESS representative made a trip to
Mariners Landing yesterday afternoon,
j. and there found three of the most promi-
nent living oarsmen of this country.
They were enjoying themselves on Fred
Plaisted's piazzas and with the latters
rifle Fred gave AN exhibition of splendid
marksmanship He placed letter on a
tree about thirty feet distance, and said :
"See me hit the stamp" He did pene-
trate the upper corner of the stamp at the
first shot, He also hit the bulls-eye of
his target twice in succession. Ten Eyck
| vowed that he could hit that bulls eye,
but found that it was either smaller or
farther off than he had supposed. Casey
contented himself with making fun of
Ten Eyck. These three oarsmen are very
different types of men physically. .s- s,
James A. Ten Eyck of Worcester, is five
feet nine and quarters inches in
height and spare and wiry of frame. He
weighs but 1873 pounds when stripped for
racing at the present time. He has al
ways been light weight, and to his dis
advantage, for "good," big man has
an advantage over "good" little man.
Allowing the science to be equal, the big
man has just SO much more power.
Mr.. J. j. Casey is five feet. seven and
one quarter inches in height, of plump
and solid build, but small frame. He
weighs, when stripped. for racing about
1856 pounds. Fred Plaisteds fine physique
and big frame and muscles are familiar to
Portland people.
JAMES A. TEN EYCK.
He was born in 1859, at Tompkins
Cove, Rockland county, N. j., on the
Hudson river He will be 43 years of age

double scull races at New York and

BRAVE BABY MIKE.
Gen. Harrison's Little Favorite Saves .
Girl From Drowning-Russell b. Hsrri-
on's Daughter Fell into = Lake and
Benny Mckee Pulled Her Out.

Old Forge, N. Y, September s. Ben.
jamin Harrison Mckee, Zen. Harrison q
fayorite grandson is the hero of Dodd
Camp. Mis- Russell b. Harrlson's little
daughter fell into the lake at Dodd Camp
late Friday afternoon, and mainly
through Benny's efforts she was rescued
from drowning. Mary McKee assisted
her little brother in the rescue.
Since Gen. Harrison came here the chill
dren have spent a good portion OF their
time while around the camp in playing
around the dock. Mary Mckee and Mrs.
Harrisons daughter are very young and
have had to be carefully watched Gen.
Harrison has repeatedly warned the chill
dren about getting too near to the water,
and whenever he has been seated on
the veranda he has kept both eyes on the
youngsters
The Harrison girl went to the dock to
play. Nearby were Benny Mckee and Al
sister Mary. Gen. Harrison and the
other members of the party were indoors.
Suddenly the Harrison child fell into the
lake. The water is about 10 feet deep at
the dock. She screamed Her cries were
plainly heard by all about the dock.
With rare presence of mind for one OF
his years, Benny Mckee ran to the dock,
as did also his sister. They saw the little
one in the water. Benny reached down
the surface. He held on to one hand
while Mary assisted him. As soon as the
ohild's cries were heard Dodd Camp was
emptied of every one in It, Gen. Harri-
son was among the first to reach the
landing.

Revere to await Identification. Mr..
Zimmerman returned to the scene of the
accident and picked up the boat, small
skiff, belor ng to some person at Ocean
Pier Nea. the boat was found a coat,
and in one of the pockets was a card,
bearing the name of Daniel Develin 1873
Chelsea street, Charlestown.
Later in the evening James Develin of
Charlestown visited the morgue at
Revere and identified the coat as that
worn by his brother Daniel. In the hat
brought ashore with the body was the
name of John Callahan, Boston. The
Boston police were notified and ascer-
tanned that Callahan lived at Z Samoset
place. and was acquainted with man by
the name of Daniel Develin, and that
both went away together early in the
afternoon.
A boat was kept near the scene of the
accident all the afternoon and evening,
and drag nets were used in the attempt
to find the body of Develin. A large
canvas buoy has also been placed to mark
the spot where he is supposed to have
gone down.

TWO DROWNED.
Careless Actions in a Row Boat Caused
Accident,

Boston, September "a drowning
accident took place about one O'Clock
yesterday afternoon two miles off Ocean
Pier, Crescent Beach, as a result Of
which two men lost their lives. One Of
the bodies was found. 1t is that of John
Callahan, 20 years old, married, who
lived at No. Samoster Place, Boston.
The other body up to late hour las,
night had not been recovered, but il
known to be that of Daniel Develin OF
Charlestown.
The two men had gone out in small
row boat and were anchored, fishing fol
perch. They probably upset in trying to
pass each other in the boat. d 5 ~
The men who first discovered that the
two fishermen were in trouble were
James Randall and Joseph H. Zimmerman
of Beachmont
They had been sailing around the
harbor in the .vicinity of Ocean Pier,
Crescent Beach, in a schooner yacht, and
had anchored for a short time about one
and one-half miles from the shore.
They were about to continue their
cruise, whe they were startled at hearing
cries for help, and looking up discovered
that boat. containing two men, which
Gl0y nctu uOulCOu q oAloAV uAlhO U6lOE5
about a mile beyond them, had tipped
over, and one of the men was clinging to
it.
Zimmerman Immediately got into his
tender and pulled rapily for the spot. The
heavy ground swell that was running cut
off at intervals his view of the upturned
boat. Ouce after it had been obscured
for half minute he noticed that the
man was gone. He kept on, however
rowing desperately, and reached the scene
of the accident in about six minutes
after he left the schooner. The man who
had been clinging to the boat was float
ing on his back, half under water and
apparently lifeless. OF the other man
there was no trace.
Zimmerman reached over the side of the
tender and succeeded in grasping the
sinking man by the hair, and pulled him
into the boat. Then, after seeking in
vain for the other man, he rowed back to
the schooner.
Randall and Zimmerman Immediately
got their boat under way and stood in for
Beachmont
Some persons who had witnessed the
accident had summoned DR.. Cummings
of Beachmont, who as soon as the boat
arrived took charge of the body, and
assisted by T D. Roberts, Superintendent
of the Boston Industrial Home, worked
over the man for over an hour, but failed
to bring him back to life.
The body was then taken to the under
taking establishment of r. K. Hunt at
