The feature OF the national croquet tour
nament at Norwich, Conn.,. yesterday was

said to have been the most interesting ever

and showed the value of his tutorship by
defeating him In twenty-seven minutes,
winning the string. One ball was soon q
rover. Then he started with the other ball,
when the professor, making an excellent
shot, captured the balls, but failed to
make his arch, Apgar again took them, and
the professor had no further opportunity.
He made but one arch. which his opponent
generously put him through
The next great game was that Of Sissop
vs.. Duryea. Sissen captured the balls and
quickly ran them rover but In attempting
to put them out he failed. getting a dead
ball between his playing ball and the win
ming post. Duryea then made wonder
full shot across the grounds, hit ball and
gave Sisson but one more life. This was
when Sisson jumped and captured them,
but Duryea Immediately recaptured them
on wonderful jump shot. and at once ran
the game out. At present he looks a win
ner.

was easily beaten by Bird, the young Balti-

SAW SOME GOOD SPORT.
Annual Regatta of the Potomac Boat
Club.


The annual regatta of the Potomac Boat
Club was held last evening, and proved to
be decidedly interesting to the club MEM
bers and their friends who gathered at the
boathouse, at the foot of 31st street, to
witness the sport. The balconies Of the
clubhouse were lined with the fair friends
of the club, while the male enthusiasts
lined on the float.
There were six events and all were rowed
There were several surprises, especially in
the tours and the Fights. The favorites
failed to score SO to speak. while the long
shots won. The surprise began in the first
race. The heavyweights were looked upon
as winners, but the lightweights succeeded
in beating them out by a good margin.
The second race was quite humorous. Dan
nenhower and Rowzee had the Virginia
side ard before the start succeeded in
catching several crabs. They were equally
unfortunate afterward and as result fin
ished third In the race, being nearly a quar-
ter of a mile behind the second crew. The
winning boat crossed about five lengths
ahead.
In the Junior four the fredericksburg
crew. was looked upon as a winner. The
third crew managed to steal almost a
length at the start, but before the Aque-
duct bridge was reached lost its lead. 1t,
however, was pulling away from it's op-
ponents when the turn was made. The
boys cut TOO close TO the pier, ana In an at
tempt to avoid a collision all turned to one
side of the boat, capsizing the craft and
losing all chances of victory. The other
two kept on. Luck was with No. / crew.
and it won by splendid margin. In the
Fredericksburg crew, Wheatley jumped his
seat below the bridge, and in making the
turn Eliason did most of the work, while
only three oars worked on the last half.
George Won Dachenhausen easily won
from Capt. Warden, who has been in a shell
only once or twice within the past ten
years. By some 1t was termed Selling
race"
The race of the Fights was extremely in
teresting, from the fact that the new crew
succeeded in leaving the old crew by sew
eral lengths.
The sixth race was between the light
weight four. the winners of the first race.
and the Junior TOURS, the winners Of the
third race. The juniors succeeded In win
ming the race by several lengths, though It
was entirely too dark to observe what was
going on In the water. The start was not
made until 7:40 The summary:

Vapof Baths.

These are ordered to promote the
action of the skin in rheumastism,
dropsy, etc. The easiest way to give
them i'm home nursing is to place the.
patient on a wooden chair, standing in
a fiat bath. The bath and the patients
body must be completely enveloped by
blankets macintoshes and paper to help
to keep the heat in; they must be PIN
ned round the patients neck so as to
leave only the head uncovered. An
edge OF the blanket must be Lifted up
and nearly boiling water poured into
the bath. The patients feet should
rest on the edge of the bath, and If the
blankets are well arranged no steam
should escape. The vapor must be
kept up by adding fresh boiling water,
o.. by heated bricks put into the bath
The patient remains sitting in this
steam for about twenty minutes, or I'M
til a profuse perspiration is produced
A GOOD bran bath is made by boiling
four pounds of bran in one gallon of
water: strain off the liquor and add to
it a sufficient quantity of water to fill
an ordinary bath.

, The Foot of the Reindeer.

Everything in any way connected
with Alaska and the Klondike is of
special interest at present, and among
other items the foot of the reindeer
deserves particular mention. The
torefoot of the horse to great extent
determines it's value, as upon this por-
ton of it's anatomysits speed and en-
durance depend. The foot of the rein
deer is most peculiar in construction.
1t is cloven through the middle and
each half curves upward in front.
They are slightly elongated and cap
able of a considerable amount of ex-
pansion. When placed on an irregul-
ar surface, which is difficult to
traverse, the animal contracts them
into sort of claw, by which a firm
hold is secured. When moving rapidly
the two portions of the foot, as it is
lifting, strike together, the hoofs max
ing a continuous Gathering noise,
which may be heard at a considerable
distance. It is this popularity of the
feet that makes the reindeer so sure
footed and so valuable in that rocky
and uneven country, where almost any
other animal would prove a failure as
4 beast of burden.

Cab Fare. Charged for D,.tance,

CaD EareS Charged for Distance,
On leaving the Holy Empire said
an American the other day, IT came
on through Germany and Holland.
They are ahead of us there in some
things. Cabs, for instance. Not only
are they cheaper, and therefore in GEN
eral use among all but the very poor,
but they are better equipped. Fares
are registered automatically. Each
cab has a cyclometer on one Of it's
wheels that is connected with a dial
inside the cab. where the passenger
can watch it. A hand turning on this
dial shows how much distance is COW
cred and the legal fare corresponding
thereto. Something like a! billiard
markers clock shows how long the
game has been played and how much
should be charged against the player.
The hands on the dial are set by the
passenger when he enters the cab, and
distance, not time, is charged for. Con
sequently 'cabby' hurries It is an OBJ
ject to him to get over the route quick
". But when the distance is short
he has been known to zig-zag little
He couldn't do this on long carry,
however. Since its introduction, the
dial has proved itself a satisfactory
umpire in all disputes Z
