A GREAT DAY OF Sport
Fast Racing at Hepley-on-the-
Thames.
CANADA WAS DEFEATED
Rowed Wonderfully Game Race, but
the London Club Was Too Fast
for Them The First
Mishap.

Henley-on-T Thames, July 6.-Despite a
somewhat ominous morning the crowd
of the week attended the regatta to-
day. the club house and the house boats
being centers of most vivacious and
picturesque groups of well-groomed
men and women.
The American and Canadian contin-
gent was well represented and hun
dreds of transient visitors were present
prominent figure was r. C. Lehman
who coached the Harvard university
crew for two seasons, as he took his
place to watch the first Trinity eight,
whom he had trained. Masses of boats
were on the river, while the meadow
swarned with coaches and wagonettes
and the crush on the Isthmian remind
ed one of an Easter parade on Fifth
avenue.
American interest conferred in the
race between the Canadian and the
London rowing clubs which proved well
worth seeing. 1t looked like a good
thing for the visitors, but the old adage
about youth and it's day came pain
fully into view again. The Canadians
rowed wonderfully game race, but
the Londoners certainly improved as
they went along.
The seventh heat OF the Diamond
scull was an attractive event The
winner of this race would qualify for
the final of this classical event The
fact that Hemmerde of the Leanders
had rowed SO conscientiously all
through practice, making his half
courses in times which ranged between
four minutes and four minutes 10
seconds, made him an adversary to be
reckoned with. 1t was thought that he
might make the Anglo American row
out and SO establish new record.
Nothing whatever marred the days
sport until it was nearing the close.
Then occurred the first mishap This
was when the bad steering of the Trim
ity college four caused them not only
to lose the race, but to break their boat.
At the first attempt at a settlement
Cambridge fouled Magdalen. At the
next attempt Cambridge tried to carry
away a pile, but ended with smashed
rigger This was the end of a magni
cent quartette of oarsmen. They have
no one but themselves to blame. Had
they kept their heads it is more than
probable they would have got into the
finals, but the trainer and coacher pro-
posed and the coxswain disposed.
Taken as a whole, however, the days
racing was voted most satisfactory.
The rowing public has not been slow
to display it's opinion of Ashes con-
duct in taking advantage of his legal
right to claim a foul, thus deprivirg
Thompson of a hard-fought race In the
fifth heat for the Diamond SOULS. Such
conduct on the part of an American or
other foreigner would have been
promptly dubbed unsportsmanlke, and
much regret is expressed that an Eng
lishman should thus be guilty.
All along the course to-day in the
heat with Blackstaff, Ashes was re-
spectfully and sympathetically ad-
vised to protest" and as the heat was
a procession, Blackstaff winning by
about a quarter of a mile. he must
have felt rather uncomfortable.

Spanish Prisoners Released
by Insurgents.

Matila. July 7. a. m.-The Spanish
commissioners who went to Tarlac for
a conference with Aguinaldo regarding
the surrender of the Spanish prisoners
in the hands of the Filipinos, returned
here last night. Chairman Del Rio of
the commission said the release of all
the prisoners had been arranged for.
The commissioners, with the remnant
of the Spanish garrison of Baler, on
the east coast of Luzon, and a number
of civilian prisoners, were escorted by
Filipino soldiers from Tarlac to the
American outposts at San Fernando

duration, formed picturesque band.
Lieutenant Martin, the only surviving
officer marched them through the
streets. There are only 90 and most
of them are mere boys in faded blue
cotton uniforms and red shirts. They
are barefooted.
A crowd of Spanish men and women
embraced them, whooping and shouting
their praises. They tell remarka bl :
story. 1t appears that the captain sew
eralz times proposed to surrender, but
the soldiers refused. Finally some
months ago he tried to raise a white
flag. Thereupon Lieutenant Martin
killed him with his own sword. They

afterward, only a small proportion OF
the eggs being found unfit for use The
secret of the method is to keep the
eggs cool, to allow free access of air
around each egg, to keep them upright
in position and to turn them periodic
ally so that the yolk of the egg is con-
stantly imbedded in the albumen. These
desiderata are brought about by plac-
ing the eggs in frames, which by the
action of a lever can be inclined in diff
ferent directions as needed; in this way
23,0oo eggs can be turned over in half
a minute without risk of breakage.
testimonials are at hand from reliable
sources showing that eggs SO treated
will remain perfectly fresh and good
for at least five or six months.

the pronounced favorite and winner of the
Realization. was second under the wire,
with Bangle in third place. The track
was in excellent condition. For the Brigh-
ton handicap May Hampstead. the West

choose between Imp. Bangle, Martimas
and Maxine at longish odds. The start
was good on all but Bangle and the Sub
urban winner. Imp was the first to poke
her black muzZle in front. Past the gran /
stand for the first time INN was In front
by half length, with Ethelbert second,
a nose in front of Martimas. At the nalf
mile they watched 49, seconds and Imp
had a length to the good with the others
close up in a bunch, going well with,
themselves. Before the mile was reached
Ethelbert began slowly slipping back, ard
as they passed the mile post in the fast
time of 40 20. Imp showed not the slight
est distress, O'Leary not having moved
on her. Spencer was at work on Ethel
bert, and Bangle had worked his way
into fourth place. O'Leary let out a link
to the leader and she took another lengi 1.
But here Ethelbert came with a rush, anu
