The Cnntabs Win by Over Three
Boat Lengths

Doai isthSt
London, March 25.-The annual Oxford
Cambridge boat race was rowed today over
the usual course on the Thames from Put
ney to Mortlake, and was won by Cam
bridge by three and a quarter lengths
The sun shone brightly and the water
was smooth, presenting perfect racing con-
ditions. There was a slight breeze from
the southwest, but it was not sufficiently
strong to roughen the water
The Oxonians were out early testing their
outriggers and stretchers, and the coxswain
Of the Cambridge crew was taken over the
course shortly afterward. The usual crowds
were early on the scene and their sympa-
thies were inclined toward Cambridge,
which had suffered defeat for nine con-
secutive years. The betting was to l on

The crews took final spin at noon. each
rowing eighteen strokes to the half minute
smartly. The oxford coxswain went over
the course and all prelminaries were COM
pleted The breeze freshened little, max
ing the Surrey side the better sheltered
station. Both crews showed fine form.
The crews were loudly cheered as they
rowed down to the starting point. Cam
bridge won the toss and chose the Surrey
side
The race was started at 1853 o'clock
opposite tne Doat mouse or the London
Rowing Club. Cambridge was two feet
in front, both crews squirting for the lead
Cambridge rowed a stroke of thirty-seven
for the first minute and oxford pulled a
stroke of thirty-six.

delegate has over his brother workmen
is that he has work every day in the year
except Sundays and holidays, while they
may be compelled by the weather or other
conditions 10 remain idle for weeks at
stretch Then. again, the delegate is
looked up 10 as representative workman,
and he is much sought after at times by
politicians and other people interested.
Now and then the delegate may have an
opportunity TO take junketing trip TO
Albany in the interest of some legisla
tive bill affecting labor, or, better still, it
may be necessary for him TO call on Mayor
Van Wyck.
Occasionally a delegate branches out in
to a politician himself and creates de-
cided excitement In labor circles. Work
men are rather lOath to elect one OF their
number TO political Office, and when they
do they expect great things OF him. Woe

expectations after he gets into office. IL

The Board OF Walking Delegates repre-
sents only unions of the building trades,
and il was organized in 1886. The name of

members because they were supposed to

The police do not doubt that Galbaz did

A PoOLROOM RAID.
The Police Interrupt Game of
Auction Pitch.

Sergeant Acton and Policemen Schuyler
Hollingberger, Simpson, and Cover. of the
First precinct, raided the Klondyke Pool
room, in z Street. near Thirteenth north
west. shortly before u o'clock last night. and
arrested the proprietor OF the place, George
f. Smith. and locked him up at No. l
stationhouse, charged with permitting
gambling. Seven young men who were
found in the place were also taken into
custody and were later released after being
summoned to appear in court Monday
morning as witnesses.
1t appears that Sergeant Acton got in
formation to the effect that card game
was being conducted in the poolroom,
and he decided to investigate the matter
On entering the place and pushing aside a
heavy curtain which divided the poolroom
from small rear apartment II was found
that the information was correct. Several
young men were seated at a table playing

TOWN SHOULD OWN IT.

Among the most important i'm.
provements of town are it's public
parks. Cities appreciate this. more
SO in late years in the west, and vast
sums are spent each year for the
| improvement of their parks. Moth.
ing we can conceive of would con.
tribute more to the pleasure of the
inhabitants of a town the size of
Butler than a we'll laid off public
park, fashioned by nature and
embellished by man, with plenty OF
shade, drives, beautiful flowers and
shrubbery, and a magnificent lake of
clear crystal water. Such pleasure
resort, for the poor as we'll as the
rich, where all could go and enjoy
themselves after a hot days labor,
would be of inestimable value to the
town. Such a resort is of benefit to
all citizens and should be kept up at
public expense, and not be left to
private enterprise.
Butler had one of the prettiest
lakes in the whole state. It was
romsntically located, nature did
much to embelish it. The dam was
so constructed that with little ex-
pense it could be made ching OF
beauty and q joy forever" Adjoining,
above and overlooking its placid
waters, was laid out O beautiful park,
where trees were set out, roads sur.
veyed, and much labor and money |
On the lake front was
erected pavilion, bath houses, boat |
houses, etc, all done by a private
syndicate of enterprising gentlemen.
As in most enterprises of this kind
when no dividends were paid or
expected, the expense became a
burden upon the stockholders, dis.
cord arose and the company dis.
banded after selling the property at
public auction and it passed into
he hands of private parties who
low control it. Brickyards and ice
louses now mar the beauty of TIE
axe and the improvements are per-
nitted to decay and go to ruins.
The city of Butler should own
his property, rehabilitate it and
'pen it up to the public, The coun-
ii could be of more benefit to the
people of the city of Butler in this
way than in any other we can ina
zine. We are satisfied this property
an be purchased at nominal figures,
nd we do not believe there are
Iozen tax payers with the city's
interests at heart that would enter
n objection.

That the power of q sheriff should
suffer further limitation in the mat.
ter of special venires is a proposition
which few citizens of Vernon county
will dispute. After the regular panel
has been refused and the demand
for special jury granted, the power
of deciding the case comes practical
ly into the hands of the sheriff. If
that officer is disposed to exercise it
with partiality, the litigant against
whom he arrays himself saves time
by paying the costs and devoting
his attention to something more
profitable than butting a stone wall.
