At a meeting of the Henley regatta committee
Saturday it was decided by IS to 2 votes to ex-
clude foreign crews. X
(, While the resolution does not specifically bar
foreign crews from competing in the regatta it

oarsmcn from other countries will change their
established customs in order to acquire the privi
1ege of competing at Henley. +

Jake, do you think that long one. Just
let me tell you how long some of them

came into the station and asked him
where Otis Westcott's beat was. We'll,

Combined Fire From Guns
and Motors.

New London, Conn, Sept. 3.-Major
Best, commanding Fort Terry, has
sent an order to headquarters, which
gives a good idea of the work done
lby the army in defending its position
against Admiral Higginson's feet.
The report is as follows:
"Office Of Post Commander, Fort
Terry, N. Y, Sept. 2.-Adjutant Cen
eral, Department Of the East, Fort
Trumbull, New London, Conn: Sir
Last evening at 1912 word was tel
ephoned from the mortar battery to
F. c. station that warship was on
Fort Niche. The ship was at once
found in the light from Niche and
identified as the Brooklyn. She was
assigned to the mortar battery, which
commenced firing salvos at the Brook
lyn.
Both vessels passed to a point
about 5000 yards northwest Of the
flagstaff and fired at the post. Sub
sequently the vessels anchored about.

view and began firing~at the battery
named, standing to a point to the
west and north and some 4,50O to s.
900 yards from the r. G. station. All
our pieces soon opened on the fleet
(except the six-inch battery.
AT 5:15 the firing ceased on our
side as telephone message was re-
ceived from Gardinier's Point battery
that the three ships had been sunk in
passing over the mine. In few min
utes the report was corrected to the
effect that the reported sinking OF
the Kearsarge was an error. Fire
was at once opened on the Kearsarge
by the mortar and 1Oinch batteries.
"At this time the Puritan was seen

under consideration. Fire was opened
on her by the six-inch rapid firing,
