of Wales return from the Riviera, the an
nouncement is made that the Princess OF
Wales is going to Copenhagen next week
to visit her parents, the King and queen

very little time IN England during the
mast two wears. incidentally it is re-
marked that the Prince of Wales Will soon
pay another visit to the Ear anu
Countess of Warwick, the latter peing
more generally known as the famous
beauty, Lady Brooke, her former ti1ie.
During the stay of the Prince OF wares at
the Riviera his partiality for Americans,
especially for American LADIES', was again
remarked with many, ili-natureo con-,

the epidemic are still on the dupltaple

The Lancet and the British Medlcai
Journal both announce that Lord Rose
bery has gained strength greatly and that
he was able this week to sleep without
the use of narcotics. AT the same tlme
it is learned that the Premier'o physicians

An interesting point which has arisen
in connection with the oxford ana
Cambridge boat race and one which VIII
interest college men in all countries IS
the question Of sending crew to Putney
from the great EnBllSu uillNcIoity' a icP
resentative of the Associated Press during
the week asked the question of Rev. W..
T.. Sherwood, master of Magdalen College
school, honorary treasurer OF the oxford
University Boat Club, a member OF the
Oxford crews of 1878 and 1874, and one OF
those admirable divines who do not find
preaching a bar against an honest love
of sport. He said the crew for Putney
costs about:f500. The revenue OF the o.
U. b. G. comes from three sources. The
principal one is life membership ices
from new men. Every man who intends
participating in any college races at OK,
ford is obliged to Join the .. U. b. Z. and
become life member by paying ~ lO
shillings. The new men average about
14O year. Secondly. there is an en-
trance fee of f5 for each of the college
races. This produces about f300. Thirdly
there is q capitulation grant from each OF
the colleges-a college having 100 men
will pay f2OO, and the one having fifty
men will pay f100. We could of course
ask for more in the event of deficiency,
but we prefer to keep it about as above.
The Cambridge University Boat Club
does not get it's funds in quite the
same manner as Oxford. as each man on
Joining his college club at Cambridge does
not subscribe to the University Boat
Club. The university makes an estimate
OF the expenses and then assesses the col
lege clubs. The assessment this year was
about f1000 1917 per cent of the college
clubs income. OF this sum f450 was re-
Quired for Putney.
