PRESIDENTIAL VACATION.
President Roosevelt and Family Will
GO to Oyster Bay.

Washington, June 26.-The presi-
dent was busy today getting official
business in shape so that he can leave
Washington tomorrow for his annual
vacation. There were a number of
callers during the day, but the most of
them merely desired to pay their re-
spects to the president before his de-
parture. The members of the diplo-
matte corps have scattered for the
summer and official business at the
capital has reached the stagnant stage
which characterizes it during the sum
mer months. Aside from the postof-
flee investigation now in progress and
the Panama canal treaty, about which
nothing can be done for the present,
there are no public questions of great
Importance to occupy the attention of
Mr.. Roosevelt and he is left free to
enjoy his vacation with his family in
the simple fashion that has become
his custom. According to present ar
rangements he will leave Washington
early tomorrow morning and reach his
home at Oyster Bay about O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon.

ing. Though the early morning
brought with it a let up of rain,
bleak wind blew out of the northeast
and the atmosphere was raw and pen
etrating. Blowing diagonally across
and down the river the wind buclxed
the tide and kicked up a choppy sea.
Everyone agreed that unless late fore
noon brought change the regatta
would not materialize according to
schedule. Despite the forbidding as
pect of the weather it was announced
at $3.50 o'clock that every effort would
be made to start the regetta at IL
O'Clock, the scheduled hour. The days
program called for the race between
varsity fours from start opposite
Gales ferry, down stream to the navy
yard, distance of two miles. This
was to be followed promptly by the
freshman race from the navy yard to
the railroad bridge. 1t was planned to
finish these two minor events before
noon and to start the big eights down
the river at 12:30 p. m.
The four cared crews started
promptly. Yale won by three lengths.

lead to response that would cause
a break in the relations of the two
countries. What the result will be is
