ASS"Ao D@S 10-
Hearing OF the charges against Detective
Lacey and Policeman Lewis was begun be-
fore the police trial board this afternoon

pended by Major Sylvester last week on
charge of conduct unbecoming an officer.

parties. The other important case was that
of Private F. 7. Lewis of the first precinct
The charge against Policeman Lewis was of
. intoxication while on duty.
Sergeant Hedley, the prin:cpal witness
against Private Lewis. testified that he
saw the officer passing along 18th street
staggering, and that he went into the gall
lery entrance of the Columbia Theater He
saw Lewis sit down on the top step of the
balcony stairs for about ten minutes When
the officer got up he stumbled and fell to
his knees. and then got up and staggered
to the theater door. There the inspector
ordered Lewis to report to the first precinct
station. Lewis reported there and was
later sent to the Emergency Hospital for
examination.
When Sergt. Lehman and other witnesses
Were called he was asked-if Private Lewis
was drunk.
HE was not drunk, but he might have
been Intoxicated" replied the sergeant.
What Is the difference?"
"A man is drunk when he can't navigate
or take care of himself; he is Intoxicated
when he staggers," said the sergeant

wire and mysterious things. This is a new tor

has been established amply in truth and fiction,
since Adam first circumvented the putative parents
of Eve. Indeed stern parents doubtless
created for the purpose of adding sauce piquant
to an otherwise coorless and tangless state of
existence
Allen Brett however, failed to appreciate the
benefcent mood of Nature which had supplied the
father of Phoebe. Deacons he was certain were
far too numerous in these particular mountains for
a summer vacation to be wholly thing of
delight.
He had failed, for two whole days, to see so much
print of Phoebe's little foot when at length
upon returning from the station to his boarding
place nearly at shutdown, he suddenly came
upon her by the path, which she was
seated with open book upon her lap.
Allen had large-sized bundle in his arms. He
promptly put it down and assumed a nicer parcel
in its place.
Phoebe gasped, ooh, Al1en!" half a dozen times
Where's popsie?" inquired the lover, when the
greetings had held due sway for a minute or
more
Gone fishing" answered Phoebe. "Oh, Allen,
what shall we ever, ever dor"
Do? Why, We'll make him double up that
decision of his and swallow it edgewise,' said Allen
It's perfectly preposterous! l wouldn't have
thought the father of such an adorable girl could
be ingeniously diabolical. And he likes to go
fishing himself!''
"Oh, yes, he loves ton weekdays, you know"

mo, popsie she faltered "but-but what
about the blessing?"
Haven't l said there would be no b1essing?"
cried her father.

persisted Phoebe. But Allen didn't catch any
thing popsie. That ought to count for some
thing

Phoebe, this has gone as far l will endure!
You, sir, since you think all so human
prone to weakness he added in way of awful
calm, ito you 1 will simply say that when you
catch me, sir, fishing the Sabbath, you may
marry my daughter-and not before"
A painful silence ensued. The essence of the
sentence sank into the two young lovers with sick
ening rapidity. The deacon made a gesture to
his daughter. Mistress Phoebe, aware that this
final, that cajolery and argument alike were at
end cast one despairing look where Allen stood,
and followed the dragon from the scene.

to keep the terrific pace for an
entire mile against stiff wind and
current, showing the careful and
thorough course of training they
had gone through in the weeks
preceding the race.
1t is only in recent years
that any systematic and vigorous
training of war-canoe racing
crews has been done. The Bo-
hemians of Brockville were the
first to introduce it, but it was
followed rapidly by the other
clubs. The system of the Y.
NJ. c. A. crew was to paddle two
miles, run a couple of miles,
and paddle back; then a shower
bath and rub. This was done
nearly every night for about
month preceding the race.

A race between two or three of
these big fellows is a fine sight, the
men in each bending all their
strength to the paddles at each
stroke, and the several captains
shouting orders or encouraging
their crews. The war canoe, when
fully manned and going at rae
ing speed, appears at a little dis
lance like some great sea mon
ster walking over the water on
legs, as the men and the paddles
move in unison. The individuals
cannot be distinguished, and when
the men are all dressed alike in
some appropriate costume the
effect is still more striking.
The races are generally heart
breaking struggles. / saw such
race last summer. 1t was great

striving to get just little more strength into
his muscle, little more push to his paddle and
little more speed out of his it tore through
the water at breakneck pace.
War racing introduced the ST. Lawrence
River in the season of 1893, when the Brockville
(Ontario) Rowing Club purchased an immense
canoe for the purpose of cruising The idea of
racing in such craft soon caught on and shortly
afterward the Bohemian Club of that place pur-
chased racing Another club known as the
Y. M. c. A Athletic Club was formed and between
the two some interesting sport was developed at
Brockville. The idea spread, and the following
year other clubs formed in Kingston, Toronto,
Ottawa and Montreal, and in August of that year

can Canoe Association at Sugar Island St. Lawrence
River near Gananoque. There are two races, the
mile for the championship of America straight
away, and the halfrile for the championship of
the northern division Canada Both of these
events always by the Canadians who
have come to be known the racing division.
Last year the Y NJ c. A of Brockvie won both
events by a good margin In the mile race they
lowered the record time made by the famous
Grand Trunk crew by twelve seconds, doing it in
six minutes and thirty-three seconds. In 1902
and 1903 the Grand Trunks were champions and
previous to that the Bohemians of Brockville held
the honor. The wonderful performance of the
Y. M. c. A. crew of Brockville last year all the
more creditable when it is known that the crew
was composed of young fellows averaging only

There are big canoes con-
structed for other purposes
than racing, which are used
as club canoes, and also for
portage and exploring. Such
canoes are about thirty feet
long, and will carry sixteen
paddlers, or about thirty
eight hundred pounds. These
canoes are strong; but for
racing they are built much
lighter and narrower.
The large canoes for ex-
ploring and prospecting have
