THE REGATTA AT PHILADELPHIA.
Elaborate Preparations Being Made
to Entertain Visiting Oarsmen.

Elaborate Preparations Being Made
to Entertain Visiting Oarsmen.
Elaborate preparations are being made
at Philadelphia for the national regatta,
which is to take place there this week.
Bob Milligan, the enthusiastic president
of the Pennsylvania club, who went to the
Canadian regatta, says he invited the
whole boating population of the Dominion
to come down for the national and they
promised to do SO. This will add greatly
to the sport, because the "Canucks' are
all dead game those who row being the
hardest kind Of nuts to crack. and every
one of them who does not row carrying
"wad" and willing to wager every cent
of it on his countrymen.
The Athletic Club of Philadelphia has is
sued an invitation to the executive COM
mittee and the officers of the National AS
ISOLATION of Amateur Oarsmen to make the
handsome club house at 1925 Arch street
their headquarters. The club will provide
entertainments In plenty for all the visit
ing oarsmen.
A special to the press from Boston says:
Local oarsmen who are entered in the
National regatta at PHILADELPHIA were out
in force today putting on the finishing
touches before leaving for the Quaker
city. At the Bradford Boat Club Joseph
Mcguire the clubs representative, was
out on the Charles, coached by Wray, the
Australian. In the afternoon he practiced
starts and turns. Mcguire has a score to
settle on the water with Juvenal. the re-
preventative of the West End Boat Club
Joseph Whitehead Is out to retrieve de-
feats at the hands of both Mcguire and
Ten Eyck. He has been working alone and
he put in some solid work yesterday.
Fred ]. Greer Is the only, sculler from the
immediate vicinity Of Boston who Is en-
tered in the intermediate singles. He re-
presens the Columbian Rowing Association
of East Boston, and today was out both
morning and afternoons
Edward H. Ten Eyck winner Of the
diamond ane ras SOULS at Hen is to take part
He will be accompanied by his father,
James A. Ten Eyck, and by a number Of
the members of he'Wachusett Boat Club,
under whose auspices he will row.

THE SENATORS WON,
1t Was Chiefly Due to Swafm,s &:
Pitching.


Pitching. 30
The Philles began their final series Of
the season at National Park Yesterday
evening with the Senators, and as it was
blue Monday" Of course lost the game by
the score Of to 2. The Quakers never win
on Monday, and as consequence the
Philadelphia papers have dubbed the Sec
ond day of the week blue Monday"
Hillary Swain was on the rubber Tor the
Senators, and the greatest credit is due
MIN for his mastery exhibition HiIlary's
wins have been few and far between, this
season, but the big fellow has demonstrated
conclusfveiy. both in yesterdays game and
the last one he pitched against Boston. that
IL given any kind of support he can be de-
pended upon to do little more than his
share toward winning victory The
pretty part about the big fellows work yes-
terday was his complete command of the
ball, but one Philadelphia player getting a
Tree passage to first. About six weeks ago
Manager Wagner concluded he had more
pitchers on his staff than were necessary.
and called Swain into his office and told
MIN he had concluded to farm him ONT TO
the Norfolk club of the Virginia Ieapna
Hillary isn't much of a taiker, but he sur-
prised Earl this time by expressing. the
opinion that he was strong enough for the
Dig league, but that IL Mr.. Wagner didn't
want him he would return home. No per
suasion could move Swain from his stand
and he remained with the Senators. Lucky
Wagner. Brave Hillary! 49,. ,a .--,a-.
The first man up yesterday, Dick Cooley.
placed nice single in right, although il
looked as though O'Brien might have COL
Jared the ball, and the spectators laughed
their little sarcastic laugh as they settled
back In their seats to see Hillary slaughter
ed. But the killing failed to materialize.
and when the hitting ability of the Qua er.
aggregation Is taken into consideration. the
holding tf them down to seven safe hits Is
an exhibition Of twirling far above the or
binary. The trouble heretofore with ..Cy.'
Swaim's pitching has been that he received
the ranksst kind of support, and under
such circumstances q young pitcher cannot
be expected to do good work. It might be
that the PhilIies -underrated the big fell
lows ability, but be that as 1t may, he won
his game and Is deserving of great deal
of credit for doing so.
Pitcher Orth was on the rubber for the
Phillies. and for once his proverbial good
luck deserted him. The Senators, II should
be remembered have six men batting ovei
800. and this average must be maintained
no matter II the club does lose gamea So
they sailed into Mr.. Orth yesterday and
hammered out fourteen nice safeties. De
Mont daliying with three Of this number
Orth, like Swain. received good support
but one niisplay. bad throw to second

base by Clements. being the only black
mark against the Quaker aggregation.
Neither side scored in the first inning,
but in the second the home club chased
to center. went-to third on WFig1ey's hit
to right and scored on Swai.ns single in
the same direction. Wrigiey took third on
Hillary,s hit and came home on Setback S
sacrifice. In the third the visitors secured
one tally. Billy Nash being the lucky in
divfdual to cross the home plate. Billy sin
gled to center, went to second on Clements
out at first, to third on Orth's single and
homeson Cooley's out, short to first.
With the score to in favor of Wash
ington both sides took a rest at scoring for
two innings. but IN the sixth the locals
began work again in earnest, chasing two
additional runs over the plate. Old rela-
bic MCGUIRE singled to right, went to Sec
ond on fuckers sacrifice and scored on
to second on the return of the ball to the
tnheld, went to third on Aboeys out at
first and scored on Wrigley's second single
into left.
In the seventh inning the Phillies Sc
cured their second and last run. Delehanty
singled to center, went to third on Lajoie's
single to left and scored on Cross out,
short to first. The Senators then set about
getting this run back. After two were out
DeMont hit safely to center, stole second,
and on Clements overthrow continued on
to third. SEEING that Shugert was holding
the ball and that Clements was in trance,
and made the goal. Neither side got a
runner across the home plate thereafter.
A man by the name of Kelly, Railing from
the Central Pennsylvania League. acted as
umpire yesterday, and although he allowed
both sides to talk a little too much his work
was above the average. Kelly comes from
Ashland, Pa, the home of Jack Stfvetts and
linn Hurst and from personal impressions
gives indications of being a good addl-
ton to President Young's staff. Kelly UNI

Death Of F. w. Flover..

The death of Mr.. Frederick W. Flowers,
which occurred yesterday at Garfield Hos
pital, was shock to a large circle of warm
friends. He was a native OF Maine, but
came to Washington about 1870 as a clerk
In the Treasury Department. He was for
many years employed in the supervising
architects office. He was member Of the
Analostan Boat Club, and for more than
twenty years was its secretary, and was
relied upon as one of the officers most de-
voted to the interests Of the club He had
been for many years also a member of the
Capital Bicycle Club. He was extremely
popular with the members OF both organi-
nations. For the past three years he had
been the clerk of the Army and Navy Club
where he was highly esteemed. Arrange
ments for the funeral have not been COM
pleted yet, but 1t Is probable that services
win be held at the chapel at Oak HIN
Thursday at 4:S0 pm.

less. however. we shall not take it upon
ourselves to refuse, providing of course,
the amount is at all reasonable. In such a

prince for his decision. 1t does not appear
to us, however, that it will be worth any

been offered in the yachting world to our
knowledge

AS THE JAPANESE VIEW US.
lChicago Chronicle. J

There is a great deal of sound sense in
of extravaganza. by japanese whom
Robert P. Porter met in that country
lately. MIR. Porter was staying at Jap
anese hotel, living as usual in apartments
on the American plan. He paid what
was equivalent to rs day in our mon
ey. His japanese friends stayed in the
same hotel, but in the Japanese quarters,
paying but 70 sen, or about 40 cents, a
day.
The Oriental said to him: ST am Just
as happy and comfortable as you are To
be sure you have tables and chairs, and
wash stands and pitchers and bedstead
and % sofa 1 have nothing of the sort.
A nice clean tatami mat and quilt is
good enough bed for me. Then you give
SO much more trouble at your meals,
with your tables and your chairs, and
CROKER, glassware. knives and forks,
spoons, mustard and pepper pots. My
meals are served in my room by pretty
maid, who kneels before me while / eat,
and chats and makes herself interesting,
looking after my every want ut the same
time tThen you cart of unnecessary
baggage around. The hotel furnishes
me with nice clean night robe, and |
can buy q toothbrush for a sen or so.
You Americans mako too much effort to
live -
There is no doubt that we clutter our
lives with alleged necessities or luxuries
which are in reality nothing OF the sort.
Our daily living has reached enormous
expenses by mere extravagances, not at
