OUTING TIMES

Old heads shouldn't wag

We're gradually getting more
holidays and part holidays

harder, at harder kinds of
work than were known in years
a-gone.
And these cutters have large
place in our thoughts for a
perfect summer store. Sport
ing goods, clothes to wear
when using them clothes for
travellers helps to travellers
comfort and convenience. A
store-ful.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-The national
committee made somewhat more rapid
progress today than at former sittings
in disposing OF the contests over dis
puted seats. The day was given up
largely to the consideration of the
vexed questions presented by the Texas
and Carolina controversies, involving
the entire delegation from South Car
DINA and the greater part of that from
Texas. The contests in both of these
states involve similar questions as in
both instances they grew out of the
rivalry between the old and new fac
tons of the party. There is in both
states a. faction known as the lily
whites. representing an element that
is trying to build up the Republican
party among the white people of their
respective states. They had in each
OF the states independent organiza-
tiors, which sought recognition at the
expense of the committee. In both in
stances the national committee refused
10 recognize the new committees.
The committee also decided upon Mr..
Fairbanks for temporary chairman Of
the convention.

HENLEY REGATTA.
Yale Will Meet the Strongest Crew
That Cam Be Formed in England.

That Cam Be Formed in England.
LONDON, June 13.-Whether Yale is
victorious or not, she will have the sat-
isfaetion OF knowing that the strong
est crews that can be formed in En-
gland will be there. This is quite a
change from the outlook of last week
and is especially the case with the Lee
ander boat club. That organization, II
is believed, will now turn out the best
crew it ever had. This change may
have been brought about by the fears
expressed in the English press, as ca
bled to the Associated Press last week,
that Yale would not find any first-ciass
crew in a position to meet her. Lean
der and Thames were particularly
pointed out as not likely to have good
crews. But the make up of the former
crew, which has just been decided up
on, but not yet announced, indicates
efforts to retain the grand challenge

authorities here regard as an almost
invincible crew.

ford ever had.
Henley is eagerly awaiting the arri-
val of the Yale crew. The old town is
already much livelier than usual and
indications point to the record being
uneoualled in point of the number Of
people who will be present.
Practically all the hotels have already
disposed of their accommodation at
prices ranging from f3 ($15) per person
daily and upward.
Many of the seats on the grand stand
have been sold and the house boats
are commanding a fabulous rent.
The Marsh Millhouse, which has been
selected to be the headquarters of the
young men from New Haven, is now
in perfect condition and awaiting the
visitors. 1t is situated about half a
mile down the river from Henley bridge
and is about quarter of mile below
the boathouse used by the Cornell
crew. The Marsh Millhouse stands next

run down to the river and a backwater
runs through a we'll kept garden. The
