Boston Rowing Authority
Has Another Guess
on Local Crews.

Among the boating items which APP
peared in the Boston Globe yesterday
was the following relating to Worces-
ter:
Worcester is in furry over the
prospects of forming a world beating
eight and four. The oarsmen there are
confident that Ten Eyck can sweep
Lewis has decided to Renter the sport
after his winters rest, the winning of
the double scull race, they assert is
certainty. That they are good men no
one doubts, and when they win their
two races, as well as the four and eight
which has been planned for them, the
Worcester cup of happiness will be full
to overlooking.
1.-The Worcester enthusiasts evident
ly have forgotten the speed shown by
the Philadelphia champion eight and
the st, Louis four which buried the
Argonauts, and as both crews will take
part in the national it is only fair to as
sumo that the Worcester people will
get about all the rowing they want
THE prevailing impression in this vi
cinity is that Springfield has the
slickest crew in New England, and that
it should be marked dangerous even
against such an eight as Worcester
proposes to float"
It's unfortunate for everybody con-
nected with the sport in New England
that nobody except the man who sign
ed the articles knows anything of row.
ing. If somebody else knew a little
the clubs would feel more content. But
Worcester boating men don't have to
stretch their memory to recall that
the same writer wouldn't allow that
Ten Eyck had the ghost of a chance
against Whitehead at the lake a few
years ago. The same authority won
the eight cared race for the Worcesters
against the Wachusetts, but when the
flag dropped the Wachusetts were far
ahead.
\ On the article itself which is quoted
above the unimpeachable boating au-
thority has another guess. The Argo-
tional fours. The western four won the
intermediate. 1t was buried in the
senior event by the ArgOnauts. 1t may
be that it is the prevailing opinion in
Boston that Springfield has the slick
est crew in New England and it may be
that the prevailing opinion of Boston
means the opinion of one man who
knows more than the rest put together,
The probability is that Worcester oars |
men and scullers would get decent
treatment if they agreed to enter a
certain regatta which has been a one
man scheme and the prizes for which
reach the winners in about the same
time that snail could make a trip to
the sun.

MONGOLIAN PHEASANTS.
Game Association Receives
100 of the Hand
some Birds.

Eugene F. Swan, secretary of Wor-
citation, brought to Worcester last
night 100 Monaghan pheasants, the
first of an allotment consigned to the
association by State Fish and Game
Commissioner Bracket. It is the in
tention of Mr. Swan to begN the prop
agation of the birds on a small scale
along lines that have proved remark
ably successful at the hatchery of the
Fftchburg Rod and Gun Club in Ash
by. Arrangements for housing and
caring for the birds will be completed
this week, and the task Of propagating
the birds for liberation in Worcester
county will be undertaken in earnest.
Many of the gaudily plumed birds
We're placed in suitable covers
throughout the county last season by
the Protective Association, and as far
as is known have survived the cold
and severe SHOWS of the past winter
surprisingly well. A pair of the birds
have wintered no farther from the city
than Peat meadow, and another pair
We're fed through the winter by en-
ployees of the Fitchburg railroad
round house, near Garden street. The
with the birds last year prompted the
vote to continue the effort TO promote
pheasant culture this season.
A. B. F. Kinney president of the as
sociation, is somewhat of an enthusiast
on the pheasant question, and believes
the hatchery to be operated this season
will be of greater value to lovers of
dog and gun than will the liberation of
quail.
Negotiations are now under way for
securing several thousand quail for
liberation through the county this
spring. The association learned a val
liable lesson last season when it pur-
chased a quantity of the birds in the
east and none but Oregon birds will be
liberated this season. The birds will
be purchased and liberated in time to
allow them to become acclimated be-
fore the beginning of the nesting sea-
son and will be ordered from western
dealers within a month.

IN THEIR PRETTIEST.
Vernon Bicycle Clubs Guests Will be
Waited On at Supper by Their Young
Lady Friends.

This evening the Vernon Bicycle
Club will hold coffee party in Me-
chanics hall. The club has
held several social events and
in them has scored the
same place that it won in the club road
race last summer, first. The features
of the party this evening will be dane
ing and supper.
A score of lady friends of the club
logged out in their prettiest will serve
the supper. Morey's orchestra of Man
chester, n. H, which has an enviable
reputation, will furnish music for
dancing. A ticket-selling contest be-
tween two teams from the club guar
antees a large attendance, as both
have been working with good sue

ROTCHFORD HITS LOW.
Bantam Fighter Is Disqualified in Fight
With "Pedlar" Palmer

London, April II. - At the National
Sporting Club tonight in a glove contest
for the bantam-weight championship be-
tween 'Pedlar" Palmer of England and
William Rotchford of Chicago, for a
stake of 600 side and purse of $500,
Rotchford was disqualified in the third
round for hitting low.
The men weighed in at lis pounds each,
though Rotchford is two inches taller
than Palmer The fighting was spirited
but Rotchford was repeatedly cautioned
against holding and hitting low. In the
third round, after fighting about min
ute, Rotchford delivered a blow much
lower than before, and Palmer fell heavi-
ly in great pain. Loud cries of disaD-
proval were raised, and the referee dis
qualified Rotehford. The betting was 100
to 40 on Palmer.

Charlie Raymond Knows of Only One
More Race He Wants to Ride.

Charles H. Raymond, for several
years one of the leading amateur BIZ
cycle riders of this city, but now of
New Nork city, was in Worcester for a
few hours yesterday. Raymond has
forsaken the track forever. He thinks
he has but one race left in him, and
that he says is a race against Charlie
Drury of Winchendon. Raymond says
he can whip Drury, and would like to
meet him. He says his reasons for
quitting the track is that there is moth
ing in it except for a few star profess
SIGNALS. The ordinary professional has
to even buy his wheel these days, and
only a few receive any consideration
from the makers.
