THE REAL PURCHASER.
II was Mrs. Mcconkey Who Bought Lakes
of Killarney.

London, July 27.-The true .signifi-
canoe and proportions of the scheme
involved in the purchase of the Muck
ross estates, including rfle lakes of Kid
larney, are just beginning to develop.
Mr.. Peck, who had previously been
named as the purchaser, is only a fig
ure head in the deal, which he en-
gineered on behalf of Mrs. Edward Nc
Conkey, a niece of the late Samuel j.
Tilden.
Mrs McConkey is the wife of a rich
Baltimore engineer, who is now resid-
ing in London. In order to secure the
success of the scheme. Mrs. McConkey
enlisted the aid of a famous Irish peer,
on the one side, and of Richard Croker
on the other. Mrs. McConkey's inten-
ton was to create around the Killarney
lakes an aristocratic settlement on the
Tuxedo plan, devoid Of the club house
feature and so practical was her prof.
ect that she already would have been
able, had she so desired, to dispose of
the property at twice the original pur-
chase price.

Boat club of Chicago has entered its
double against the champions, and
some are looking to them to lower the
Wachusett colors. Ten Eyck and Lewis

the Delaware double at the Canadian

Yesterdays operations were begun on
Dewey street, near the corner of Pleas
ant. A spraying outfit, consisting Of
spray pump, tank and two lines of hose
to each, which had been used by the
state board of agriculture in the gypsy
moth work in the eastern part of the
state, was at hand, manned by six
men, three men to each tank. One
man worked the pump, while the other
two each took a nozzle and dealt death
to the enemy with the gentle shower of
fine spray. From time to time as oc-
casion required, the tanks We're filled
from Elm park, where the emulsion
was prepared.
The work at present is under the di

have worked more on the west side of
the city, on Dewey, Austin and Chat
ham streets and in the vicinity of Elm
park than in any other part Of the
city, although traces of their presence
have been found in nearly all quarters
of the city.
Most of the insects are found on the
lower part of the trees, having worked
down and secreted themselves in the
crevices of the rough bark. The
ground at the base of trees, near fences
and housetops, are covered with thou

The trunks and lower branches of the

Worcester will be prominently repre-
sented at the regatta among contest
ants, officials and spectators. All the
Worcester entries are from the Wachu-
sett Boat Club, and the chief cause for
the unusual interest in the regatta is
found in the entry of one Wachusett
man.
The entry is Edward Fl. Ten Eyck,
and it is his presence among the en-
tries for the championship single SOULS
that has aroused the followers of row.
ing to unprecedented interest. The
ante-regatta arrivals at Boston are
more numerous and more prominent
than at any previous regatta, and the
reason is that the people are anxious
to see the entries for the championship
in their preliminary work.
Entered against Ten Eyck ape JOS
eph B. Mcguire of the Bradford Boat
Club of Boston and Joseph j. White
head of the West End Boat Club of
Boston. Whitehead won the American
championship in 1896, but the following
year was defeated for the title by Ma
guire. Ten Eyck won the distinction
last year, neither of the previous
champions contesting against him.
Since Mcguire won his race, in '97, it
has been the aim and dream of rowing
men to bring about race between him
and Ten Eyck.
All efforts to that end failed until
this year. A special race was arranged
for them at the Labor day regatta of
the New England Amateur Rowing
Association in 1897. Articles Of agree
ment binding the men to race were
signed by representatives of both
scullers, but before the regatta Ma
guire drew out. 1t looked then as
though they could not be brought to-
gether At the last meeting of the
national association, a race was set
aside for scullers who have won the
American championship, and Maguires
friends persuaded him to enter. The
long-looked for meeting between the
men, with Whiteheads entry as spice,
will come tomorrow, and when the
men line up for the start they will car

Wlthin the last three days, however.
opinions have changed in many cases
Whlie in others the ability of both men
mas appeared so nearly equal that
men have been unable to decide for
themselves which is the better man.
Mcguire men were confident Of their
man until Ten Eyck appeared on the
course. Based on reports of Ten
Eyck's overweight and inability to pat
into condition, the race looked easv for
the Bradford man. ~
But Ten Eyck appeared on the course
and then it was clearly seen that tbera
was no foundation for the belief That
ne was not rowing as fast as ever.
Ihose who know Ten Eyck and his fa-
tner, need no further assurance of
Nea 5, good condition than the fact that
ne IS entered for the race Jim Ten
Eyck has repeatedly said that he woIIld
not let his son start in any race unless
ne was fit to row for his life. He ano-
phaslzed that statement when he re-
fused TO allow Ned to row at the Har
lem regatta, Memorial day, against a
neid much infeIor to Mcguire md
whitehead. His entry settles the oues
ton OF condition, and those who know
ms ability know that Ten Eyck in con-
dltion is faster than any amateur.
Among Maguire's closest rowing
friends, opinions on the outcome of the
race have changed lately. Some are
doubtful. while others are firm in the
belief that Ten Eyck will win. 1t was
said a week ago that there was an
ocean of money in Boston to bet on
Mcguire, but Worcester people do not
fnd much of 1t, and hardly hear of it
unless odds are offered on Ten Eyck
The Whitehead hackers are asking odds
