counter when the team is sent to compete

ROWING.
Potomac River Regatta Likely to Re
Held in July.

Potomac River Regatta Likely tn Re
Held in July.
Nothing has been done toward reaching
an agreement in regard to the proposed re-
gatta on the Potomac this summer. nor is
II likely that anything will be done until
after the races of Decoration day, in which
the Potomac and Columbia clubs are di-
recty interested by having crews in
the races, while the Analostan Club
is interested in general over the out :
come. Last year the regatta was held in
great change of opinion among a good
many people interested in the matter the
regatta will come off in July, possibly the
fore part. This will be much better than
in August. The claims advanced for hold
ing the regatta in the early part of the
month are mainly based on the question OF
obtaining larger representation of oars
men. 1t is argued that in the east and
especially at Philadelphia, there will be re-
gattas around July Fourth, the visiting
carsmen taking in several events while
away from home. If a regatta be held in
Washington any time before July 10 it is
likely to attract a good many crews that
would not otherwise come here.
The PotomaCS have been doing hard work
during the past week and every evening
their eight has been out and working hard
The composition of the crew which will
row at Annapolis Decoration day will most
likely be as follows: Maurice bow; Offley,
two: Ball, three: Gormully, four: Bauby,
five; Gallagher, six: Rouletin seven: Nolan.
eight; Doyle, coxswain. The substitutes 10
the crew will probably be Macy and
Jacobs.

LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.

| Mr.. EditOr,-I have often thought
| to write to the numerous readers of
| the MONITOR from this land of sun
shine and flowers. recently read in
| the items that the thermometer had
frozen up and that the hard winter
had settled down on my native State.
AS I read the chilling tale I looked
out of my window and saw ladies
walking without outside wraps and
with parasols, enjoying the delightful
air of a mid winter day. Before [
came here I expected that the winter
would be agreeable, but supposed the
heat of summer would be unbearable
Really the heat in summer is not OPP
pressive, though the thermometer
registers high. Our altitude here is
5000 feet and tt air is very dry, and
it rarely seems to be hotter here than
in Vermont in hottest weather. The
mountain breezes are cool and the
nights agreeable. The epidemics and
the malarial troubles of many parts
of the country are not experienced
are seeking an agreeable, healthful
climate are coming to this section of
Southern California and this region is
rapidly filling up with new corners.
Over 1000 acres in this neighborhood
was cleared and set with trees last
year, largely set to the apple and the
almond tree. Wherever irrigation
can be had this is remarkable fruit

here took a premium at the Worlds
Fair, and the almonds which were sent
from here to the fair at Atlanta last
fall grew here. We are Just north and
on the foothills of the Sierra Madre
mountain, (which is white with snow
half of the season, the SHOWS furnish
ing the water for irrigation. We have
no rain here after April till Novem-
Der. The Sierra Madre range is from
seven to ten thousand feet in height
and reaches across from the Coast
range to the Sierra Nevada range. sew

ing this wonderful, beautiful range of
mountains. My husband finds him
self very busy in this far off land. He
is resident manager of the colony

munity, with two good churches with

Stephens W stenhens

In the case of Sidney Stephens, APP
pellant, against W. !. Stephens and c. S
Stephens, the judgmen; of the lower court
was reversed and the case remanded with
instructions to grant a new trial. Judge
Bartch delivered the opinion which was
concurred in by Chief Justice Zane and
Associate Justice Miner
The action was brought to recover
$2,2l7.65 alleged to to be due for goods
sold and delivered. In their answer the
defendants alleged that the plaintiff and
defendants were directors in four corpora
tons, the plaintiff being also president
of three of them and the defendants were
the active business managers of said cor
porations; that at the time the plaintiff
furnished the goods he knew it was for
the corporations and furnished it with
intent to aid them and that no part of it
was received by the defendants except
as agents and managers of the corpora
tons.
At the trial counsel for the plaintiff re-
quested the court to rule that, under the
pleadings the burden of proof was on
the defendants, but the court held that the
burden of proof was on the plaintiff and
so instructed the jury and a verdict of
no cause of action was returned.
The opinion held that both counsel and
judge erred and that the burden of proof
was on the plaintiff as to the delivery
of the goods and on the defendants as to
| their ordering and receiving the goods as
agents for the corporations.
