NORMANNIA'S SAILING CANCELLED
Slight Flaw In the Machinery Causes
a Weeks Delay.

The Hamburg-American Line steamer
Normannia, Captain Barends, which was
due to sail from her dock at Hoboken at
ten O'Clock his morning for Hamburg
via Plymouth and Cherbourg, has had
her voyage cancelled, and the company
will have the steamship Columbia, Cap
tain Vogelgesang, which is due to ar
rive at New York tomorrow morning,
ready so as to sail with the Normannia's
passengers on Saturday the Slst, at four
o'clock in the afternoon.
Last night when the machinery of the
Normannia was being inspected prepara-
tory to sailing this morning, a flaw was
discovered in the crank shaft journal of
the starboard engine. While this defect
is not sufficient to disable the steamer,
for having twin screws. the Normannia
could with the use of the port screw,
have made the trip III about two days
longer than her usual time, the company
concluded that the convenience and COM
fort of the passengers would be best
served by sending them in the Columbia
on Saturday.
This conclusion was reached solely out
of consideration for the passengers, so
the company assert, for If their own in
terests were consulted, money would be
saved by sailing the steamer and have
the repairs made in Germany. The Nor
MAMMA will sail on her usual route next
Thursday. Angus 5.

LEAGUE CLUB DEPIEs RAIN.
GreenvSlIe Republicans DO Not Know
Enough to stay In Out of the Wet.


All the regular meeting of the Green
vile Republican League Club last even
ing the time was mostly taken up in re-
vising its bylaws and constitution. After
the meeting the members entertained a
delegation from the u. S. Grant Club of
G%reenville. Supper was served in the re-
ception room which is partitioned off from
the pool room, and a fine one it was.
After supper the members INDUCED in
songs and several checker games were
started. Vice President Henry Petty,
who. by the way, is getting to be quite
a botanist, presided. Petty delivered a
lecture on botany about a week ago and
was so encouraged by the members that
ne made another attempt last evening.
He spoke about century plants and roses
the way in which to cultivate them.
Petty started a garden in front of the
clubhouse on Danforth venue about a
month ago, but somehow or other it
didn't come up to Petty's expectations.
Instead of roses and pinks coming up, a
whole lot of weeds bloomed instead, and
now Petty says ne will make another at
tempt next spring and that he will raise
one of the best flower gardens in Green
vile or do something desperate.

new registry law by the A. A. U. has
seriously impeded the growth of the anna

pay their registration fee of 81 until after
they have me.de a competent showing in
the contests most popular to them. This
has been the cause of cutting down the
size of the entry considerably and the
Catholic Club entry is not near as large
this year as last, but will be just as
prominent from an athletic point of view.
Their races will be of a lively nature and
the results win be obtained by greatest
effort. The club made quite a hit by
offering a handsome silk banner for COM
petition among the clubs and they are all
after it, the club having the most num-
Der of points being the one to secure it.
