HOPES OF AMERICANS BLASTED

Henley on the Thames, England, July
5.--Amer.ca's hopes Of capturing the
Grand Challenge Cup for eight-oared
she'll crews were dashed to the ground
today by the Leander crew. defeating
the strong vesper eight in the semi

length IN bruislng race. The English
men finished comparatively strong af-
ter rowing their race in seven minutes
and one second. while the Americans
were well tagged. They did not row
lin the form that was expected of them.
and II is the opinion of many experts
THAT they were more or less the vic

blade work was not as good as they
have shown in their practice SPINS

when they defeated Christ College, Of
Cambridge. and splashed badly.
The weather clerk provided splendid
weather for the keenly anticipated
struggle between the Nespers and the
Leanders. This was the first race of
the day and the widespread interest
taken In il was evidenced by the great
crowds which thronged all the van
ltage points along the course and con-
gregated in the vicinity Of the winning
post long before the hour for the start

of liquor to Indians and prosecute them to

these prosecutions so far as they come
within the pale of the federal laws. The

onto the reservations and selling liquor TO
Indians who are yet under the paternal
control of the governments. The Indians
! have been debauched enough by these boot

Logan Lambert is the saloon keeper who
recently made such a brutal assault upon
