Secretary Cooper cf the Henley, England
stew ards stated that the Henley regatta
committee had decided to refuse the entry
of Ten Eyck. the American oarsman, un-
der rule 1O. which reads: THE committee
shall have power to refuse or return any
entry up Ia the time of starting withou,
being bound to assign a reason"
The feeling against Ten Eyck is said 70
be due to his attending banquet at Put
ney, where all the Thames professionals
statements made In American newspapers
that the Ten Eycks received on their re-
turn to the United States last year the
sum of $2,0W which was considered among

Well the West Texas bee evidently
found il very inconvenient to climb all

one may regret that the author found
II necessary to make such radical de-

pose he has realized very successfully.
Indeed, laughter ripples throughout
the play. while the serious and pathet-
ic elements that abound i'm the novel

Possibly had he followed different
