It appears that when there was talk of the bombardment of the Massachu- setts coast by that Spanish fleet year ago last spring, the commonwealth in- vested, with the indorsement of Gov ernor Wolcott, in twelve light one pounders, one heavy one-pounder, one six-pounder and one three-pounder. The revelation of this effort to save the Massachusetts coast is just now caus- ing good deal of laughter in the Bay State.

The letters addressed to the president average 1,200 a day. Eighty per cent. of them never reach the eye of either the chief executive or his private secre- tary. They are sorted by the clerks under the direction of the private secre- tary and sent to the proper departments for attention. The largest proportion of the letters ask for financial assistance. The next largest number pray for the matters.

This is the summer season and some interesting things are being discovered. For instance, the Philadelphia Record has dicovered that Eddie Warp, Nor ristown lad, who carries bobbins in one of the mills there, has set of musical ribs. Eddie is very thin, and his ribs protrude distinctly The latest music is drawn from them in the following manner: The boy sits down and tucks

0ARSMEN PUT AWAY
THEIR RACE BOATS
FOR THE SEASON
Skiff, Shell and Barge Cham
ptOnShipS Divided Among
Five Clubs.

Though the number of spectators was
discouragingly small last Sunday at FL
Campo the day was fine and the water
unusually smooth. The conditions were
eminently favorable for boat racing. The
programme dragged d little, but as all
the events were contested before dark
and in good time for the last trip of the
ferry-boat back to the city there is no
reason for complaint on that score.
Though there were some surprises and
disappointments the racing passed off
without hitch and with only one mishap,
and that was not a serious one. The
clubs divided the honors between them,
all except the Pioneers winning an event.
AS George McGrill's shell, owing to an
accident, was leaky and filled with wa
ter in rowing down to the starting line,
only two competitors-E. Stenberg of the
Ariels and George Lewis of the Alamedas
were left in the Junior shell race. The
former won easily. The Ariels, with E.
Lynch as stroke, also won the junior
barge race. In the senior skiff race A.
W. Pape OF the D0lphns beat DR.. c. G.
Dennis of the South Ends and George Ra-
ker Of the Dolphins. The senior shell
race was won by James P. Foley of the
South Ends. who defeated H. A. Witt
kopf, the Ariel sculler, easily. In the
Junior skiff race Stanley Adderley OF the
Triton Boating Club won as he liked from
three competitors. This is the first cham
years. The Alamedas had a hard race to
retain the senior championship, the Pio-
neer nee, crew pressing them closely. Thus
the Ariel Rowing Club won two cham
pionships, the Alamedas, South Ends,
Dolphins and Tritons one each. The
South End barge crews proved decidedly
disappointing to their admirers, IS here
was a strong impression that the juniors,
with Dr. c. G. Dennis at bow and .ames
P Foley at stroke, We're fast Foley.
however, set a slow stroke, though a long
and even one, while the Alameda crew
rowed fast and short stroke. The South
Ends, who had the inside station. got into
shallow water at the turn and abandoned
the race, leaving the Ariels to win by
two lengths from the Alameda juniors.
The senior barge race was a pretty one,
all the crews rowing a good stroIg stroke,
the Alamedas being, as usual, -ather
short and inclined not to pull the oar well
through. The course, however, was only
about one mile and a furlong, and very
rapid bucketing stroke may be kept up
for that distance by men in good condi-
ton.
