THE FOURTH EVENT

was the senior double, with H. P.
Bend and N. P. Langford on the in
side and A. L. Burlington and l.. M.
Mabon on the outside. The latter
got away first, but unfortunately got
too far out and struck water where
the current was swiftest, which aid
ed very materially in keeping back
their shell. On the return they re-
gained some of the lost distance,
but it was too late, and the Lang
ford she'll won by four lengths in
6:34
In the junior double C. M. Bend
and ]. d. Dengre were against
George B. Senkler and L. Corning
The first two got away first and took
the water we'll with a fast stroke on
the inside. They led to the turn.
where the Senkler shell cleared
away for home twelve seconds in the
lead and won out by ten lengths, in
6:39.
A clever and exciting race was the

Another spirited event was the

THE REGATTA OF THE MINNIE
sofa BOAT CLUB WAS A
GREAT EVENT.
MANY EXCITING RACES
WE'RE WITNESSED BY AN EN-
THUSIASTIC CROWD OF
GUESTS.
A DAY OF GREAT ENJOYMENT.
IuncbeOn and Music Follow the
TGvents-SOme of Those Who
Were Present.

Merry Old Sol and the elements
conspired to present the oarsmen
with a perfect day, and the gallant
rowers of the Minnesota club, appre-
ciating this unusual consideration
on the glorious Fourth, allowed their
muscles full swing and made every
event in their regatta yesterday an
unqualified success both in time and
style of execution in the shells. Each
race was won on its merits, and the
club had so arranged its men as to
be able to judge from the result of
the races which ones were most ca
pable of representing the club in the
national regatta at Saratoga later
on this month. The island was
alive with prettily-dressed young
women, and music and dainty lunch
con served to round out a day of
rare enjoyment. There was plenty
of inspiring music, plenty Of inspir
ing feminine glances, and the victo-s
enjoyed the eyes full of admiration
while the victims as keenly appreci-
ated the orbs filled with sympathy.
Alter the races were over, merry
making was INDUCED in for the bal
ance of the day.
The distance for all races was a
half-mile and return, the first on the
programme being the maiden single,
which contained as entries George
B. Senkler, c. NJ. Bend, Rufus JEFF
ferson, F. H. Sabin and F. D. Mon
fort. The men went away nicely
on word from Trainer Kennedy,
Bend winning in 1907 by a full
three-quarters of a length.
Gardner Corning and N. P. Lang
ford Jr. were the only contestants in
the Junior single. Langford tow
cred over Corning a giant and his
muscle rather sent Corning in the
shade, but the latter made a good
struggle, Langford winning in 1888
by one and a half lengths.
The senior single between Leslie
Wann and Leavitt Corning was a
pretty race, Wann taking the water
first. On the turn he led by
length and held it to the finish, win
ming in 6:54.

Manufacture of Wild Men.

FROM Il fehlng Letter.
There are many curious trades in the
world but the most strange must surely
be the artificial manufacture of wild
men," Yet a well-known doctor in China
has just certified from his own personal
experience that this art is regularly prac-
ticed in the f1owery kingdom.
First a youth is kidnapped, then bit by bit
he Is fiayed alive. and the skin of a dog or
bear grated, piece by piece, upon him.
His voc al chords are next destroyed by the
action of charcoal to make him dumb; and
the double purpose OF causing "etiolation''
of the skin and utter degradation of the
mental faculties IS effected by keeping him
immured in a perfectly dark hole for a
number of years.
In fact, by treating him like brute for
a sufficiently long time he is made into one
At last he is exhibited to the entirely
credulous Chinese as wild man of the
woods, and his possessors reap a rich har-
vest.
The priests. it seems, are adopts at the
art. When a kidnaper, however, is caught
by the people he is torn to pieces, and
when the authorities get him they torture
him and promptly behead him. Such is life
under the rule of the son of heaven.

CROSS-WYSE RIDING.
A Riding Master Believes 1t Danger
0Ns for Women.

From the Buffalo Express.
Since the appearance on one of our ave-
nues a few Gays ago, of woman riding
a horse astride, there has been the usual
discussion attending any innovation in Buff
falo. Investigation at the local riding
schools proves that there are number of
society girls taking up this new fad, which
of course it is at the present time.
Whether or not 1t has come to stay remains
to be seen.
People who know very little about riding
are under the impression that the cross
wise riding for women is not so dangerous.
Harold St John, local riding master, is
authority for the statement that riding
astride is much more dangerous than The
way women have been accustomed to ride
in the past, and explains 1t in the following
way:
"A woman has more of a grip in the
side saddle than in a mans saddle" he said
yesterday morning. "a man wouldn't have
for the reason that from the nips down
man has more weight than a woman. a
woman's weight is mostly from the hips
up. So the weight that would keep man
from being thrown in an emergency
wouldn't be of the slightest use for a :" O.
man. Then. too. from the hips to the
knees a mans leg is longer, consequently
he can clinch the side of the horse and
woman couldn't, as the horse slants
where her knee would come. Of course. a
good rider doesn't ride horse by his grip,
but by balance; but when an emergency
comes and the horse is frightened and
jumps. some sort of a grip is necessary,
and the woman will find the best grip on
her side saddle.
"a woman will have to be much more
sl<illful rider to ride astride than the other
way. The reason it has been so success
fully tried in New York and other cities is
because only women accustomed all their
lives to equestrian exercise are taking it
up. You let beginner try it, and see the
failure.
For myself have no objection TO 1t,
only know that it is nonsense for SO many
people to say that riding astride is a safer
way of riding One reason people have
come to believe the old way not safe is be-
cause if 4 woman is ever hurt riding, the
fact is published all over the country, while
among the same number of men more are
injured, only nothing is said about 1t. Any
way, even though you hear of women be-
ing hurt, you never hear of men being in
jured. u n
Then, again, you hear about the twisted
position. Well,I have no doubt but that
the cross-wise position is more comfortable,
but We have never heard OF a woman be-
ing deformed through, riding as has always
been the custom.
'As to the grace? Well, that is entirely
a matter of training the eye. If 1T were
customary for women to ride in the new
way, it would look just as graceful to us.
A woman sits astride much straighter than
man"

Chemise Again in Favor.

From the Philadelphia Press.
That once despised garment, the chemise,
is rapidly regaining all its lost popularity.
For one thing there is air of freshness
end daintiness about the sheer muslins and
lawns, of which it is composed that the
finest silk gauze does not possess. and it is
Lndeniably prettier and more becoming
garment than the thin vest, which, for
while, displaced it. Then, too, there are
very few figures, except those that are de-
cidedly inclined toward embonpoint, to
which the graceful roundness given by the
slight fullness of the chemise is not more
elcome than the merciless severity of the
gauZe vest. Dressmakers tell us that after
chemises went out of style they were
obliged to pad the waists of dresses twice
as much as they did before The new
chemises are especially graceful, both in
design and materials They are cut after
the French manner. in two pieces, bat are
n ade to fit rather smoothly around the
waist line, by lengthwise tucks, which ex-
tend all the way up in the back, but in
front are discontinued about four inches
from the top, so to make full puff over
the bust. This method makes fuller skirt
than the old chemise allowed for the
skimpiness of which was always one Of the
drawbacks to that useful garment Very
little lace is used on the finest of these gar
ments, fine embroidery being the fancy of
the hour. handwork being especially liked
The old-fashioned scallop and eyelet hole
is one of the prettieSt of the resurrected
designs, with narrow ribbon drawn through
the eyelets to hold in the fullness over the
bust

COURT COULDN'T MOVE HIM.
Ex-Deputy Collector of Internal Rev

Ex-collector of Internal Revenue Thomas F.

Pneumatic Horse Collar.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Horses with sore shoulders will be
rarity. it is said when the pneumatic horse
collar comes into general use 1t has been
invented by Londoner, and is being in
troduced in the leading European cities.
The patent consists of the usual leather
casing, but instead CT being packed with a
hard. non-yieding substance, the pneumatic
principle is applied, a rubber air chamber
beirg substituted for the packing, this in
turn Being covered with leather, ard when
the collar proper is inflated a flexible and
yielding surface is presen ted to the horses
shoulders. 1t must be apparent to the most
ca sual observer that the collar in present
use must cause and give mans noble COM
ramon an immense amount of pain. Owing
10 the harsh padding it is impossible for
the collar to adapt itself to the animals
shoulders, and therefore, chatting and
sundry other ills ensue. With the pneu-
matte collar. as before stated, chatting is
impossible, as, instead of the horse having
TO adapt itself to its collar. the collar
adopts itself to the horse the moment it is
put on.

dences of family affection, the great part
of the gifts are made up of pretty but sim-
pie and inexpensive trifes. Weddings
eur SO frequently in the households OF
friends that to keep making such costly
gifts would cause a tremendous hole in
ones annual income
1t is generally understood that the ex-
penses attendant upon a June wedding
can be made very much less than the tariff
named above, or so many people would new
er be able to accomplish matrimony. Floral
decoration of the house and church can be
arranged at only trifling cost If those
who set about doing it do not mind taking
the time to gather the daisies of the field,
dog-wood blossoms and garden flowers gem
orally, and then placing them in position.
Bridesmaids dresses can be achieved i'll
white swiss or organdie at five dollars
apiece, provided the materials are not
taken to a dressmaker. where ten dollars
worth of Innings and other accessories ard
the making would easily run UP the cost to
twenty-five.
une bride can also safely eschew white
satin for white null, find it decidedly more
becoming, too, and get up very dainty
toilet under $40. So with every other item
in the list Forty or fifty dollars worth Of
engraved invitations is probably one part
which it is not well to try to cut down.
Everybody Is gratified by the receipt OF
wedding cards and the churches are uSu-
ally big enough to seat all those who can
be present. The wedding breakfast can be
limited to relatives and the bridal party,
and with considerable ingenuity and home
preparation the cost can be reduced to DO
cents a head The usual extras of wedding
cake boxes ETC., must, of course. be omit
ted, but a really clever girl can exercise
tasteful ingenuity and by buying plain
white boxes cover them with crepe paper
and really do wonders with a few dollars.
Fashion stands in with economic streaks
in the item of travelling dress. The lat
ter-day bride travels in much-worn gown
to escape the attention bound to be be-
slowed upon a couple in brand-new clothes.

from harper 8.
HIRE is an entertaining story about a
Frenchman who was too proud to do
things which were against his principles
The story is vouched for as an actual fact
by the man to whom the incident happen
ed. While travelling in Europe he stopped
over night at Caen, and noting that his
hair was unduy long he went to have it
cut by the local barber. He told the bar
Der to take of very little, but before the
scissors had been at work many seconds
he noticed a favorite lock fall on to the
calico jacket in which he had been arrayed
Whereupon he reproved the barber for
not following his instructions, upon which
the man observed, in mingled tones of re-
preach and dismay:
Monsieur must permit me to do my
work in the way which seems best to me !:
and what is more, l shall take off some
more"
Not at ALL" said the traveller; IT tell
you l want very little taken off, and must
insist upon your doing as l direct YOU"
The barber, however, was not to be put
down in this way, and said: Monsieur,
it is possible that this is how things may
be done in England, but here in France
we are not slaves. l shall cut off as much
as / please"

A New Mushroom Story.

From the Collector.
There iS French story Of some travel
ers in Africa who, while on an exploring
expedition, ran out of supplies. By chance
they came upon native hut, but it was
empty, and the only visible edibles in it
were several strings of mushrooms sus-
pended from the rafters to dry. For lack
of anything better or more substantial
they stewed these and made a meal of
them. After a while the owner of the hut,
who was a powerful native chief and war;
rior, returned from a hunting expedition,
and, having greeted the explorers in a
friendly manner, set up a wild howl of
despair. What is the matter?' asked the
explorers. They are gone. My evil spir-
its have stolen them" walled the chief.
What are gomez" Those; those" shrek
the rafters. why; no evil spirits took
Them" said the explorers. Eve ate them"
The chief seized his stomach in both hands
and ratified the bones inside his skin. Ate
rooms" "Oh! suffering Moses! roared the
warrior. or words to that effect, why.
you've eaten the ears OF all the enemies I
killed in battle"
