CANOE RELAY
RACE FOR
20 men

Knowing as the members do the rela-
tive racing abilities OF the fast men of

and being able TO tell pretty nearly how
a race for singles or tandems would
come out before the men started In rae
ing has not been very lively during the
past season between the two organiza-
tlons Now there comes a proposition for
a distinct novelty in the canoe racing line
which has met with instantaneous ap-
-praral freTsa-the members OF both clubs
II is nothing short OF a relay race from
the pumping station TO Rhodes the
Pawtuxct between the clubs. This was
just proposed as joke and the scheme
was 10 have the singles bring the boats

Capt Arnolds latest plan which has re-
solved itself into a challenge from the
Swastikas 10 the p. c. C.s is to have
singles bring the boat through the rapids
and then have the bulk OF the member

along the banks in pairs 10 take the boat
through. This would resolve into about
ten races for tandems and there would be
excitement galore.
The matter Of fouls and rights OF way
through the rapids were spoken OF, but
IL was decided that beyond prohibiting
axes. gatling guns and boat howitzers in
the canoes, the matter OF fairness would
be left to the sporting instincts OF the
racers.
There are some good racing men In both
clubs and some who couldn't race for
peanuts. but the good and bad will about

LATEST LOVE
GOT FIRST
CHAPS GIFT

New York, Aug 12-The bitterness OF
1t all was that Samuel Edelson. who was
once engaged to Miss Ella Brill, had
to hear her testify that she sold the
jewelry he gave her and handed the
money TO Elias A. Jaller, who possesses
her young affections now.
Edelson paid SIS to Abram Kaufman,
as>fharrage broker. TO introduce him TO
Miss Brill. The fee was small, for Miss
Brill is an extremely pretty girl with
soulful gray eyes and delightful smile
that displays her glistening teeth.
Mr. Edeson admitted sadly that he had
been "stung" by another girl so his
gifts 10 Miss Brill were hers conditlonally
on her marrying him.
When they parted she did not give him
back the gold watch and diamond ring
and earrings: so he sued for them and
got judgment against the girl for s2Ss. Al.
The court appointed William Greenthal
referee to learn what had become OF
the love-gifts and why Miss Brill did
not pay TO her former suitor their value
In cash.
Jeller. a law student. was at the hear
ing and ne and Edelson glared at each
other darkly. Miss Brill testified that
she sold the diamond ring for 800 TO "a
strange man" whom Sally Schwartz in
troduced TO her at her home in Rivington
street. Miss Brill sold the watch for $40
10 a peddler whom she could identify II
he saw him, because he had no whis-
kers.
"who got the sl7o?" asked Mr.. Green
thai
II gave It to Mr. Jaller TO pay his
tuition at the law school,"
do you expect him 10 repay your"
Mono" Miss Brill answered, hesitat-
ingly. We've are going TO married
next Christmas"
And you have neither a bank account
nor jewelry?"
There's my jewel" retorted the young
woman. pointing at Jaller and smiling.
At this moment Mr. Jaller and Mr..
Edelson began 70 exchange their opin-
ions Of each other. Finally Mr.. Jaller
said, more pacifically:
II seems strange that brother Odd Eel
lows should be flghting."
Certainly. Edelson is the odd fellow
just now" remarked Mr.. Grenthal.
Incidentally Mr.. Jaller hotly denied
that he courted Miss Brill for her money.
II don't call 500 money" " said he. in
dignantly. II love her
"No fellow would have run after a girl
with only 500" interrupted Miss Brill
tossing her fine head.
The hearing was adjourned.
