WORK OF DUFFEY AND
WEFERS COMPARED
POTOMAC RIVER REGATTA.
JoiIt Committee Feels Assured of Sue
cess of the Affair.

The members of the joint committee
on the Potomac River Regatta, to be holi
on October 6. under the auspices Of the
Potomac, Georgetown University. and
Old Dominion Boat Clubs. are more than
pleased over the prospects of the big sue
cess of the undertaking.
They have had substantial assistance
from all sides, and it is believed that the
soliciting committee which will call on
local merchants and others during this
week will have little difficulty in sccur-
ing the necessary amount to cover the
expense of the regatta. The local pride
in the affair will bring about the desired
end, and the fact that it is to be offered
as feature ef the G. A. r. encampment
makes it all the more desirable on the
part of business men to make it big
success.
President Doyle is working hard with
his committee, and he hopes to eclipse all
former efforts in the Size of the rega.;a
Clubs from Newark. New York. and Bos-
ton are asking about events, prizes and
accommodation and it is expected that
me committeeman wEo is sent 20 tomor-
rows regatta on the Harlem at New
York will secure several crews for the A
Potomac regatta.
1t is still within the limits of the pos
sible that the Argonauts. of Toronto, and
Vespers, of Philadelphia, will make this
regatta the occasion for settling their
started at the recent national
regatta over the senior eight-oared race.
The circulars sent out on Friday night
to clubs all over the country inform
them that National Association rules will
govern. and that gold medals will be
given the winning oarsmen. and a silk
banner 10 the club they represent.
Entries close on September go, with
Secretary f. Richard Gasch. Special
hotel rates may be had by addressing
Odell Whipple, chairman OF the commit
tee on board and quarters.

LIGHTNING KILLS one
and SHOCKS ANOTHER
Bolt Strikes Crane in IIOckeSSin
Quarry Around Which Men
We're Working

Lightning struck and killed Lewis
Gasty, colored, of Hockessin, yester-
day afternoon and shocked and burned
Edward Jenkins. The bolt tore Jen-
kins left boot from his foot.
The death-dealing bolt leaped from
the black clouds at 4.30 o'clock. At
that hour Gasty, Jenkins and dozen
other employees of the T. H. Walker
Kaolin Company were sinking a shaft
in the clay pit OF the company. A
crane enters into the work, and it was
the boom of this that attracted the
lightning. Gasty was three feet from
the windlass and Jenkins close by.
The bolt leaped from the crane. struck
Gasty, who was running the drill in
the clay pit, and killed him instantly
The dead man was 80 years old.
Alexander B. Guthrie, of Hockessin
took charge of the body.
