animal broke the hitching rope ami

The first object encountered was
DR.. Miners buggy in front of the Met

crushed and the horse was thrown
down. DIR. Miner was standing on the
sidewalk with n foot on the step.
This part of the accident saved two
ladies, Mrs. p. IL. Burnett and Miss

At this point the runaway turned
across the street and ran straight into

knocked over, the former smashed up.
Padgett was thrown out and his left

The horse then dashed into Mr.. J. @.

THE Stroke 5 THE THING
SUPERIORITY OF THE OARSMEN
OF OLD ENGLAND.
Practical and Clear Demonstration
Most Effective Application of Power
The Yankee Adaptation.

The English stroke may be said to
be almost generic term, for England
recognizes but one legitimate system
the fruit of years of experience in
the requirement of what she deems
the best method of propelling a rae
ing boat through the water. The pre-
paratory schools, the universities and
the London rowing clubs are all in
accord as to what that method is, and
it is in theory nothing more nor less
than the application of the principles
of stationary-seat rowing, in light
boats, to the sliding seat. A hard.
vicious catch" and. a light finish
were by-words on the Thames long
before the sliding seat was known, for
it was early found that the first part
of the stroke when the back is in the
best possible position for applying the
necessary power to the oar was by
far the most important, and that arm
work was a needless expenditure of
energy. That is true only of light
boats, which require the slightest
force to get them under way. The in
PRODUCTION of the slide did not affect
the principle-it was used merely to
aid the legs to continue the power

arms being nothing more than con-

not go amiss here. Mr.. Cook. who is

the back is straight, the shoulders afe

Indeed it is the aim to avoid adj

The oarsman when on the full reach

him to catch properly (this being A

back and legs are utilized to the best
possible advantage-in theory at least.

the fete was characteristic of her fav-

The entire park was beautifully il

Turin aristocracy, and each person
brought bicycle by royal request.
The ladies wore white dresses and the
men orthodox cycling costumes.
The early part of the night was de-
voted TO racing, always in couples, and

FATHER BOND No MORE
VETERAN MISSIONARY PASSES
AWAY AT HIS HOME.
After Long Illness-General Sorrow
Over the Demise of "A Friend of the
People-The Funeral.

Rev. +. Bond, more familiarly called
Father Bond, died at the family resi-
dence in Kohala, Hawaii, at 3 O'Clock
on the morning of July cath.
The deceased has been i'll for years
and for some time past was confined
to his bed, unable to move about.
AS soon as the news of the old gen
tleman's death spread, deep sorrow
fell over the district. The Kohala mill
was shut down and natives, foreigners
and Chinese thronged about the resi-
dence. Father Bond had always been
father to all and his loss was felt
by everyone.
Deceased was buried from the native
church which he himself caused to be
built. Rev. Ostrom and the Hawaiian
pastor otficiated at the funeral which
took place the same afternoon. The
funeral was very largely attended.
Father Bond was about S4 years of
age at the time of his death. He
leaves three sons, DR.. b. d., Represen-
tative f. C. and George S. Bond.
Father Bond had always lived in Ko-
Hawaians, by whom he will be great
ly missed. His missionary work will
remain a glowing tribute to his zeal
and honesty of purpose.

adaptability and capacity for work

in the boat. For example, the posi-
ton of stroke calls less for strength
than for quickness, dash, driving pow

rhythm. No. Z, who strokes the star
board side and supports s, is usually
the best oar in the boat. He should
be very powerful, cool and steady, in
fact, a support in every sense to the

is extremely doubtful that in Ameri-
can waters and climate the English
experience could overcome the Amer

1t is question among the great
body of non-university oarsmen in
America whether this English system
is not entirely faulty; but their doubts
will hardly weigh against the consen-
sus of enlightened opinion both here
and in England. Our local oarsmen,
for example, have a style that would
| make an English crew shudder. They
do everything that the canons of'good
form explicitly prohibit. In fact,
they attempt the impossible, that is,
to apply back, legs and arms stimuli

seen that the moment the feet are
kicking against the stretcher the slide
must necessarily run back before the
back can be brought up. The seat
will inevitably move faster than the
shoulders unless it be held still.
Hence the legs are practically doing
all the work and the preliminary body
swing, which alone enables the back
to be advantageously utilized, is en-
eirely lost. More power is actually ap-
| piled in the last than the first half
of the stroke, arms. back and legs be-

true, and reminds one of rangy legs,
