BECOMING FAMOUS.
Former Resident of Carroll Takes High
Rank as Sculptor.

Mr.. j. Snider Noel bids fair TO keep mp the
reputation which Carroll county has acquired
for being able to produce those who possess
the ability to make stone assume life like
forms. He has Just completed bust of Col
Jas. G.. Berret, who is too well-known to need
any description. 1t is work which reflects
the greatest credit upon Mr.. Noel's skill, and
stamps him as one of the favored few upon
whom Dame Nature has conferred the power
to make marble assume the image of God. II
anything were needed to convince one that
Mr.. Noel possesses genius of TIE highest
order, glance at an anatomical figure IN his
studio, representing the muscular system of
man, would convince at once. Every large
muscle in the human body is faithfully repre-
scented, and such difficult work could only
have been executed by one who is thorough
favored, gives proof early in life of his ability
to produce figures which delight men, and
often represent the gods. Mr.. Noel, like all
true artists, loves to speak of his wonderful
art and explain its beauties. He has been
close student and tireleSs worker. 1t can be
confidently predicted that he will yet write
his name high upon fame's scroll. He is
worthy to be considered the successor of
Mr.. Rlnehart, who died some years ago, and
who attained an enyiable reputation as
sculptor. Mr.. Noel resided for many years
in Carroll county, of which Mr.. Rinehart was
a son. His works cannot fail to procure for
him high rank in the noble profession he
has chosen. Too much cannot be said in his
praise. The bust of Col. Berret is a beauti-
fully executed piece of work, and is, in every
way, worthy of place in any gallery OF art.

TEN EYCK WON.
Young American Oarsman Now
the Worlds Champion.

Henley on Thames, Eng, July ~
America triumphed to-day at the Henley
regatta when Edward H Ten Eyck, the
young Massachusetts, man, won the
worlds amateur championship as single
sculler. His victory in the final heat was
over the Englishman, II. T. Blackstaffe,
who, with Ten Eyck, survived the pre-
liminary heats and .the semi-finals with
flying colors. The victory was all the
more pronounced as a result of pluck,
since 1t was rowed with no encourage
ment from friendly crowds, for damaging
gossip and uncalled.for charges had done
their work, and his gallant success in the
trial heats were received with icy cold
ness.
But while this made the championship
harder 10 earn, 1t made it the more valu.
able, for it was evident that Of all the
men whom the resident crowds did not
want to see in the front at the finish was
Edward II. Ten Eyck. The charges which
caused the damage were not preferred by
sportsman-like Englishmen, but by few
selfish ones who feared the worst They
were: First, charges of professionalism.
which were clearly disproved, and second i,
that he had rowed privately over the
course, and had kept his time secret
This he and mis- father denied
This. the third aud last day of the re-
gatta, was beautiful and only light
breezes blew from the Bucks shore of the
river. The only signs of sadness at the
opening were the flags at half mast for
the late Lord Camoys, late president of
the regatta. There were other signs of
sadness later in the day.

Heretofore the chairman of the faculty

The invitation would have been made

McCabe has strong political backing in
Virginia, and especially il and about

with the faculty. When it was seen that

The rain on Friday evening compelled
the postponement of a picnic at Coyner's.
