aquatic struggles of the year. Myerhoff
of the NasSaus of New York defeated I'll
tus, Vesseley and Greer last spring a year
ago, but just after that was ordered to
Europe on business and did not get back
in time to compete at the national regatta,
but did get ready for the middle states,
where he expected TO meet the best. Titus,
when outrOwed at the Worcester race,
a good rest at the Seashore. states that he
is fit to make the race of his life
The failure of Greer is due to the fact
that his club holds a regatta on Labor day
at Boston, and his duty is there, though he
would like to come here. Veseley defeated
Titus at the national and Fuessell has de-
feated Veseley, so it will be seen the race
is for blood
In the intermediate singles the same con-
ditions prevail. Britt of the Potomacs has
defeated Crowley of Wachusetts. Jackson
of Palisades and Grant of Nassaus, but
they claim 1t was due to fiukey turning
races hence they are down here for re-
venge. This will be great affair, for
Crowley is receiving his coaching from the
celebrated Ten Eycks, father and son, and
they were never known to turn out poor
man in any boat Britt, who will uphold
the Potomacs in this race, has had Pat
Dempsey for the past week coaching him
in starts and spirits. and Britt says he
never felt better IN his life. and will fully
retrieve his error of bad Judgment at Wor-
cester. In the junior singles Dick Reding
ton carries the Potomac colors, and as
gamer yOungSter never wore the coloiS of
the club, and that's saying good deal, he
will row the best or the, novices off their
seats before they beat him.
In the junior fours the Analostans will
defend the city against Alexandria, Va,
and Baltimore, Md. i and every one wishes
the club success in Its efforts, as also
against the stronger crews in the inter-
mediate, should they win the juniors. 1t Is
a good crew, but IT Sacks seasoning naces-
sary for staying qualities. but there Will be-

Erie Railroad Getting Rid of Men Over
Thirty-Eive

The Erie railroad has promulgated an or
der calling for the designations of all clerks
recently engaged who. at the age of thirty
five have not advanced
The designations must be forwarded to
the offices of the company within thirty
days because the officials feel that there is
no chance for men who. at thirty FIVE have
not demonstrated their executive ability.
The men who are doomed to leave are
those who have entered the company's en-
ployment since May 1. 1901 and in an
apologize way the officials say there are
comparatively few who will be affected
In the future. however. no man who has
reached the age limit will be given employ
meAt in the clerkship grade by the big rail-
road.
Men who have become thirty-five with
out succeeding at something else have little
chance to take up railroad work. - is the ex-

A dispatch from Pittsburg says: The
Pennsylvania railroad, allied with the Van
derbilt interests. is said to have dealt the
Goulds a stunning blow. so far as the en-
trance of the Wabash into this city is con-
cerned.
The Pennsylvania people have obtained
practical control of the Pittsburg Coal
Company, through a gigantic deal involv-
ing soft coal properties worth $50, 900 600
While it is said that the Pittsburg Coal
Company will remain under it's present
management, 1t Is nevertheless true that
the big combination of Pittsburg coal mines
organized few years ago. to do away
with competition. has become a powerful
weapon In the hands of President Cassatt
and the Pennsylvania.
The deal is said to have been made
through the Pennsylvania Mining Com
pany. The latter owns the coal lands
worked by the coal company. which holds
title to more than 100000 acres.
1t Is asserted that the Pennsylvania rail-
road has leased this land for a term OF
years, and an annual rental of AZ per
cent is guaranteed.
In addition, the railroad agrees to fur

of the United States will come into play in
such affairs, as under the law of April 10,
1896 it is the duty of the government to
see to it that there is no overcrowding of
vessels and that the course is kept clear.
Any violation will subject those guilty to
fine in the regular courts. With this view
of the case Acting Secretary James r. Car
field has notified the Potomac regatta COM
mittee that the course will be patrolied
with a vessel and the only boats allowed
thereon will tie the referee visitors and the
District police craft. This means a clear
course from start to finish. and is given as
a warning to all others to keep in bounds.
AS stated previously, the referee craft
will be the famous torpedo boat Gushing.
which in itself will be spectacular attrac-
ton to the regatta. The guest boat will be
the Barthodi. while Harbormaster Sutton
and the Vigiant will be the other. These
will be the only boats allowed on the
small launch. but he will keep within
bounds.
The New Course.
Everything is now in readiness for the
great affair and last night the committee
were sanguine that their hustling work of
the past two months would bear fruit on
Monday. The course has been all marked
out and changed a little. for hitherto the
finish has been directly in front of the
Potomac boat house, but in order to give 1t
a wider area at the start upstream, that
has been changed. The finish will be about
$50 feet lower, and to facilitate matters the
club will station at this point two large
barges. arranged with chairs thereon. and

at once apparent by a glance at the num-

The success of this regatta-for nothing

to the hard. energetic work of the Potomac

Nh Cutting Up n Bank-NOte Amongst

Nine. Suzanne de Torigny was get

Paris, one day, when the horse took
fright and bolted. Three men stimuli
taneously laid hold of the horses
bride and stopped the runaway, says
Lloyd's Weekly. Nine. de Torigny,
who considered that the men saved
her life. promptly handed out So
franc note of the Bank of France,
which one Of her preservers took and
pocketed. Then the other two men
who had helped stop the cab claimed
the bank note also, and the three
"preservers" quarreled so bitterly
that presently they were all taken by
the police before the magistrate, NJ.
Corvette. NJ. Corvette suggested that
each of the three men should have his
third of the 81, but each of them de-
clared that he--and he alone-had
stopped the cab and earned the
money.
Thereupon M. Corvette remembered
his Old Testament, took a large pair
o. scissors and cut the banknote
neatly into three equal parts, Ct which
he gave one to each of the men. ''When
you have all three agreed upon what
you mean to d." said NJ. Corvette,
"comc back and see me, and I'll stick
your 50-franc note together for you"
