10 pounds. He is craftsman and archi-
has established the reputation as champion
sculler of the Potomacs. For one SO small
he is wonder. He will be seen next sea-
son at the big regattas, both as a sculler
and coXswain.
This year the first since 1885 that the
Potomacs have sent a crew away from
home to compete with other clubs. This
was due to the fact that the organization
was unable to get together a represent alive
crew that would stand any chance of VIM
ming in competitive event. Prior TO 1895
the club was one of the most prominent in
the country, and trophies of all sorts
adorned the walls of the club parlors, in
dicative of the skill and proves of it's
members in various boats. No additions
We're made to the collection OF trophies
until only u few weeks ago. when the sue
cesSful eight brought back from Philadei-
phia the magnificent silk banner awarded
the crew for winning the junior race. This
banner has been given conspicuous place,
and it IS hoped that other trophies Will be
captured. to be ranged alongside of it.
Since 1895 the affairs of the Potomac
club began to ebb, and about TWO years
ago the membership had dwindled down to
but few over twenty-five. The remaining
members, headed by President Doyle and
Charles Warden, hustled and rebuilt the
club. Today 1t has a membership of 40,
and Is in better shape and condition than
the organization ever was. The club prom
ises to make next season a lively one on
the Potomac and already plans for year
ahead are being mapped out

them and the looking thing
struggling in the insufficient water of the
ditch. Little Dave Cherry's forty-one
pounds of body and wagon load of grit
weren't to be scared, and, shouting to his
retreating comrades to wait for him, he
trmbed headlOng into the ditch threw
himself upon the big living mystery. and
claSped his arms about it. On that instant
mud and water began to fly about with
shot above the banks of the ditch as If the
bottom had been disseminated by a dyna-
mite cartridge.
A rod or two above where Davy had
pluckily attacked the creature in it's own
element the water became still shallower
and gradually reached Its limit, land or
mud only being beyond. Little David hung
on and wrestled until he had worked his
prize all that distance, and by one grand
effort tumbled 1t clear of what little water
there was and on to dry land, and the
had gasped few times and then lay quiet.
Dawes companions approached and got
down into the ditch. Dave dug the mud
out of his mouth and eyes, and, sitting on
his captive. said:
You fellers is chumpsv'
The evidence was strong In favor of
Dawes charge that the boys entered no de-
Tense to It,. 1t was all that the three of
them could do to get Dawes trophy to the
top of the ditch and carry it home. Then
they learned that the prize was German
found that Dave Cherry was only one
pound heavier than the carp. But Dave
was disappointed.

From the Youth s Companion.
A spider that has been through at least
two battles and has taken a long journey
by sea and land, all without mishap, is
something of a curiosity. The first time
this particular spider came into notice was
just before the fight at the Atbara.
1t had taken up its quarters In the VEN
tilator of the helmet of an officer, Major
Lawrie. 1t was an energetic spider. COM
ing out at night to feed, and after having
its supper of flies, returning to its hiding
place. The major left it unmolested, and
when he went into the Atbara fight it was
still in his helmet. Men We're killed all
about him, but Major LaWrie and his
spider We're uuhurt. Eat Omdurman the
major commanded battery, and once more
the spider went into action.
When the trouble was over Major Law
RE packed various articles to be sent home,
and among them the helmet that had seen
action. Inside that helmet was the spider.
Not until too late did the officer remem-
Der that he had sent his little friend
long voyage without stocking its larder.
1t seemed unfair that the little creature,
that had twice come out of battle unharm-
ed, should starve to death on the jour
ney; but nothing could now be done to
help it.
When the major reached London. it was
with some conjunction that he opened the
helmet box, expecting to see the dead
body of the spider. He was rejoiced to find
his friend alive and vigorous, and not even
lonely. Upon the way the occupants of
the helmet had increased in number, for
now two young spiders shared the strange
retreat.

POTOMACS' WINNING EIGHT,
Their Victory Has Reavakened Local
interest in Rowing.

The excellent performance of the eight
OF the Potomac Boat Club. in winning the
race for junior Fights on Labor day, at
the Middle States regatta, on the Schuyl-
kill river, Philadelphia, has done a great
deal to revive local interest in the aquatic
sport. While it is entirely too late this
season to see any beneficial results, yet it
is predicted that next season there will
be revival in the sport, and a promise
that the Potomac will again become well
known for its regattas.
The crew, which is composed of Wilson
Young, Frank Gordon. Joseph Mangam,
Sully T Maize, William Britt, Robert Heth.
Joseph DAILY and Claude Lunsford, with
