fingers. Hell's Bilge and Maiden's
Prayer was big red men. too, but not
so big as their pa. But Baby Tommy,
the youngest, was the biggest of the
lot.
One day old King Charles sent over
a shipload of wives for his men in
Virginia, and what did old Brisket
do but swoop down on EN-, scuttle the
ship, cut the mems Threats and carry
the poor girls down to the Caribbean.
They didn't any of 'em ever see Vir-
ginia. After that the Governor give
up. But the King he picked out the
best captain and ship in his navy and
sent them over to have a talk with old
Brisket.
This captain hadn't any family ex-
cepting one daughter by the name of
Eliza, but she was about the finest
looking gal in England in them days.
But spite of the yong fellers that was
broken up by it, her pa took her over
to Virginia with him and left her with
the Governor while he went looking
for the Cory Scuttles," which was
the name of Brisket's ship. He cruised
for a month and then came acrost his
quarry down off st. Kits. They fit
for three days The first day Hell's
Bilge was killed, and the second day
Maiden's Prayer was killed, and the
third day the captain run his sword
through the gizzard of Bloody Brisket
hisself. Old Brisket let out a roar
that shook all the stanchions loose
on his ship, and his last son, Baby
Tommy, that was looping off heads
up forward, give his dad one look,
TUX his cutlash between his teeth and
dove overheard.
The Cap'n felt purity bad at first that
he hadn't got the last of the family,
but he took enough treasure out of
the Cory Scuttles" to start a store,
and then after stringing his prisoners
up to the yardarm, according to law,
he went on shore and started in on a
months job repairing his ship.
Along about this time the Cap'n's
daughter, Eliza, begin to get anxious
about her pa. Every afternoon she'd
set down on the beach looking out al
the sea, and mostly they'd be a young
man or two along to keep her sperrits
up and give her advice. One day a
strange vessel come piling into the low
er harbor. A boat puts out and purity
soon four men with rings in their ears
and cutlashes in their belts and a big
red-oesrded man with another cut

Never brighten or torment parrot,
and, to succeed, make up your MIND
never, even under the most trying cir
cumstances, to lose your temper; you
will have many trying experiences.
Few parrots can be trusted implicitly,
as they are subject either to fits of
bad temper or mischievousness, and
are likely to bite the hand from which
they were fed the moment before,
though much of this can be overcome
by gentleness. At times they are af-
fectionate and caressing, but no two
individuals are exactly alike in dispo-
sition, and each bird must be studied
to make it comfortable and draw out
its better qualities. Some are timid
and shy, requiring soothing and very
judicious handling, while others are
bold and fearless.

Pennsylvania Juniors Won,

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-The Univers-
sity Of Pennsylvania won the junior var
sity boat race from Columbia and Cornell
on the national course on the Schuylkill
river in Paramount Park this afternoon.
Columbia was two lengths behind Pennsyl-
vania at the finish, and Cornell was five
lengths to the rear of Columbia. The
course was one and half miles straight
away, and Pennsylvanias time was s:4S.
Considering the conditions, the race was
a good one. A strong wind blew directly
up the course, which made the water
choppy. Large crowds lined both shores.
and there was much enthusiasm over the
home crew carrying its colors to victory.
Pennsylvania had the west or inside,
position, with Columbia next to her. and
Cornell the outside. The start was a

Ithacans took the lead and held it for zoo
yards, when Columbia overhauled her and
shot ahead. Pennsylvania was slow in
getting into her swing, but when she finally
settled down the red and blue shell moved

forged TO the front. From there to the
finish the Quakers were never headed
Cornell was steadily falling behind, and

effort to catch Columbia and by so doing

COLLEGE BOAT RACES
CORNELL, WITH FRENZEL IN THE
CREW, WON EASILY.
Defeated Syracuse and Harvard's
Newell Club Eight-PennsyIvani
Winner on the SchuyIkilI.

ITHACA, n. Y, May 30.-Cornell easily
won the triangular eight-oared boat race on
Lake Cayuga to-day. Syracuse finished sec
ond, over three lengths behind the winner,
and Harvard's Newell Club eight was
beaten by more than four lengths. Cornell
covered the two miles in 10:4S.
Owing TO rough water the race was post
pom d for two hours. The observation train
pulled out to the start about 5:15 o'clock,
but it was 7:20 o'clock before the crews took
their positions and received the word from
Referee Brandegre. All the crews caught
the water together, Cornell rowing at a rate
of thirty-four strokes to the minute The
Syracuse stroke was thirty-six and Har-
wards thirty-eight. After a dozen strokes
each crew settled down to thirty-one, thirty
two and thirty-four, respectively. Cornell
maintained this rate practically throughout.
Syracuse rowed thirty-two until near the
finish, when Harvard threatened to go to
second place. Then Coach Sweetland's men
answered to the call and increased their
final advantage to a length and a half over
the crimson oarSmen.
The Ithacans worked easily all the time
and were fresh at the finish. Two or three
of the Syracuse oarsmen were exhausted.
The Harvard men were less fatigued Cor
nell's lead was taken at the start and held
to the finish. Syracuse followed pluckily
for a half-mile, but gradually gave up,
nursing her strength for the final squirt
with Harvard, but keeping in second place
throughout.

HARLEM REGATTA.
Senior Single Race Won by Schools
from Titus-The Senior Fights.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Thousands of spec
tators witnessed the races of the Harlem
Regatta Association, held on the one-mile
speedway course, Harlem river, to-day.
The water was in fair condition all day, al
though the wind was little too strong for
the shells during few of the races. The
honors were evenly divided among the To-
cal and Philadelphia clubs, and the oars
men, as a whole. were satisfied with the
first open regatta of the season. The ref
cree, Gordon S. Carrigan, of Philadelphia,
had a difficult task on his hands with pro-
tests, but his decisions gave general salts
faction.
1t took some time to get the senior Fights
in line because of the flying start and
strong tide. There were three crews in the
race-Columbia New York Athletic Club
and Harlem Club. of New York. The New
York Athletic Club got the better of the
start, but had not gone an eighth before
they were overhauled by Columbia and
Harlem. Then came one of the prettiest
eight-Oared races ever seen on the Harlem
between the Columbia and Harlem crews.
1t was a neck and neck struggle to the
finish, the Harlems winning by four feet
and breaking all previous records.
In the senior single race, the star event
of the day, Titus got away before the
others at the start. Juvenal, the Philadel-
phian, fell back after the quarter. and was
outclassed. Bond. another Philadelphia
was soon back with Juvenal. At the half
Titus had a lead Of a length. but after
the half seemed TO be uD TO his limit while
Scholes. the Canadian. had plenty of grit
left and gradually closed up. At the three
quarters they were on even terms, and
Scholes gradually drew away and won by
a length and half. Budre. the Bohemian
sculler was a close third. 1t was grand
race from start TO finish. and although
Titus claimed that Scholes rowed out OF
his course, the New Yorker was beaten
fairly on his merit.

that the English team is sure TO win two

GOLFER TRAVIS WINNER
FAST PLAYING IN THE METROPOLI-
TAN TOURNEY AT TUXEDO.
Douglas Defeated by ~ to 20, n New
Record for the Course-Mercellus
and Thompson.

NEW YORK May 3O.-The semi-final
round of the Metropolitan Golf Association
at Tuxedo to-day resulted in the defeat
of last years winner and developed very
fast play. Incidentally a new record-72-
for the course was established. w. j.
Travis, the national amateur champion,
and Findley S. Douglas, winner of last
years Metropolitan tournament. Writ l..
Thompson, of Baltusrol, and F. A. Mar
cellus, the champion of the Yountakah
Golf Club, were paired when play started
to-day The latter TWO got away first. but
at the eight tee allowed the Travis-Doug-
las match with its large gallery. to pass.
Travis started at pace that has seldom
been equaled in this country-and playing
with machine-like steadiness, finished the
first nine holes in one under the par figure.
The match was finished at the thirteenth
hole with Travis six up and five to play.
At this point he was three under four and
his game had been a wonderful exhibition
of accuracy and form. The by-plays were
finished, but playing the fourteenth Travis
got into brook, taking seven for the hole,
and lost his chance of finishing under 20.
AS it was his card was Y, or one over par.
Douglas frequently outdrove the champion
and made some splendid approaches. His
weakness, however, lay in putting, phase
of the game in which Travis to-day was
phenomenally strong, running down sew
eral long puts of twenty-five or thirty feet.
On the outplay Travis won the first hole,
but lost the next to Douglas, who scored
splendid three. Travis won the next,
halved the fourth and won the fifth, sixth
and seventh. He lost the eighth, but won
the ninth, standing four UP at the turn.
He was on the tenth green in two and
holed out a ten-yard put. This perform
ance he repeated at the eleventh green,
eliciting much applause from a much-in-
terested gallery. The twelfth hole was
halved in five, making the score dormie
in Travis's favor. The next hole, also
halved, gave him the match.
In the meanwhile the M9rcelluS-Thomp-
son match was coming on slowly and with
out great advantage to either player. Mar
cellus was UP at the turn. but Thomp-
son squared the score by taking the elev-
enth hole. He lost the twelfth and thir-
teenth and was two down. He regained
himself, however and was one up at the
sixteenth hole. He lost the next making
all square again and the eighteenth which
was halved in five, failed to finish the
match. The players went on TO the nine
teenth hole, Marcellus winning this and
the match. Although Marcellus has come
up the easier side of the tournament, he
to his credit rs, made yesterday. which
equaled Traviss score of the preliminary
round. His match with Travis tomorrow
