Penn Won't Row M,ddies

The University of Pennsylvania and
the midshipmen will not row again this
year. Manager Tupper, OF the Pennsyl-
vania crew, received a message from
Manager Rogers, of the Navy, yesters
day stating that the Naval Academy
crew would not be in condition to race
this Saturday and that he would have TO
call the race off. Since Pennsylvania
cannot come to Annapolis later in the
year this means that there will be no
race between the two institutions.
The midshipmen and Pennsylvania
bad race on May and the Pennsyl-
vania crew swamped when in the lead.
the Navy winning. The academy au-
thorities asked for another race and il
was decided to have the contest on May
10. The Navy had a race last Saturday
with Yale and they will meet George
town on May %, and if they met Penn
this week they would have races in four
successive weeks. They did not wish 10
do so and tried to get Penn down for last
Saturday and also to 60 into the race
next week with Georgetown. Neither of
these proposals pleased the authorities
here and the Navy accordingly called
the event off.

Land of Gold" to be given by Mrs.
Hitchcock at Carvel Hall Friday even

The New York Herald says
"In a well-modulated voice, Mrs.
Hitchcock took her audience to the Gold
Fields, describing the pleasures, perils
and fascinations of the country. Nor
we're the chests of gold hidden in the
rugged mountains overlooked by her.
The methods employed in getting at the
hidden riches of the country were deli
cately touched upon and the narrative
was punctuated throughout with many
very interesting stories.''

vicinity. The shot exploded in the di.
recton OF Northwest street and luckily
there were no persons in the vicinity a,
the time or the result would have been
dangerous.
This is the second cartridge exploded
in this vicinity and three others have
been found. The police are keeping a
