ENGAGES CAPABLE COACH.


There seems to be a determination OH
the part OF the Virginia Boat Club to Gre
ate renewed Interest in rowing In this
3 city and state. The membership Of the
club has been largely increased this
spring, and applications for membership
are still coming In almost daily. Con-
siderable Interest Is manifest, not only
among the old members, but the new
2bnes seem to realize that they have been
missing much pleasure in the past Every
afternoon the river below Mayo's Island
is dotted with the shells, gigs, canoes,
pleasure boats and launches OF the CLUB.
The new men are learning to row and
the old ones have not forgottcn'thc many
pleasant afternoons spent on the James IN
past seasons.
Rowing was first started in this city
In the summer Of 1875 by the organization
of The Kanawhh Boat Club.Its success
was SO great that in the following year
Ii larger club, the Olympic, was started.
These two clubs rowed onathe old canal,
having their houses at the foot of ca mn
ble's Hill. They eventually consolidated,
under the name Of the Olympic Boat
Club. a reorganization Of this club un IN.

HART AND JOHNSON.

San Francisco, March 23.-The twen- ty-round glove contest between Marvin Hart of Louisville, Ky, and Jack John son of Los Angeles will take place ih this city on March 2S. Both men are preparing for the battle as though the worlds heavyweight title hinged Oh the result.
 Up to date there has been no betting on the match. Out at the Ocean Beach not morning passes that Hart does not cover eight miles on the road. The big Kentlckian seems to enjoy his work, and the more difficult the task the more he smiles.
 Jimmy Britt, Jack Mccormick ana Dave Barry are his sparring partners, and every afternoon he boxes fOu" rounds with each of them. Britt's speed is great help to the sO,ltherner, who needs plenty of fast work, JOhn- son. his opponent. being rated as fast CT than Jim Corbett ever was in his life Hart, however, is handicapped in his boxing practice. He cannot turl, loose for even minute. He is essen tialIy an infighter. and such q vicious one that even the pneumatic body pro tectors were of little service to his sparring partners. It is claimed for him by Jack Mccormick that JOhnson's s extreme cleverness will avail him nOth. ing. for Hart will fight him till lie jumps through the ropes.

very first thing that greets him on awakening may be these precepts. Ev- cry morning after roll call the captain of each company, or. it may be. only corporal. reads these precepts aloud to his men. He then makes the men re- cite them in a body and afterward calls upon the soldiers individually to recite them.
 sTn barracks the officers not only drill their men in the knowledge of these precepts. but they explain them in detail, illustrating their explanations with examples drawn from history. Deeds of Washington, Alexander, Cae- sar, Napoleon. Grant and the other men whose valor has made them famous are told to the men in order that they may know the. -precepts in their practical application as well as in theory.
 President Eliot of Harvard univer- sity asked me recently to explain to him the real reason for the personal valor of our soldiers. I told him it was due to the practice of these precepts. Here they are as I have translated them from the edict for President El. tot:
 "First.-To be sincere and loyal and guard against untruthfulness.
 Second. To respect superiors. keep true to comrades and guard against law. lessness and insolence.
 "Third.-To obey the command of su. periors irrespective of its nature and never to resist or disregard 1t.
 'Fourth.--To prize bravery and courage and be diligent in the performance of du- ties and guard against cowardice and ti- midi.y
 "Fifth.-To boast not of brutal courage and neither quarrel with nor insult oth- CTS, which will incite general hatred.
 "Sixth.-To cultivate virtue and prac. tice srugality and guard against extray. gance and effeminacy.
 ''Seventh.-To prize reputation and hon. or and guard against vulgarity and greed"
 Tt Is the practice of these that makes our soldiers what they are, from the common infantrymen up to the great Field Marshal Oyama.
 .'But--and this Is very curious-ths Marquis Oyama has another side to his character. Not only is he a fighter, but he is a great patron of the fine arts and one of the best amateur art ex-

perts in Japan. His house, in a sub< urb of Tokyo, is extremely like beau< tiful American home, with a splendid garden laid out in thoroughly moderu style Inside it is furnished like thd house of an American of fine taste, but on the walls and tables are exquisite specimens of all that is best and most beautiful in the art of Japan and Chk ma. There are paintings by the great est of our artists, pottery, porcelain bronzes and ivory carvings, each chos sen with the unerring artistic judgs ment of the Marquis Oyama. He can tell by examining any Japanese work of art whether 1t is genuine or not and what should be its value.
 "In this his charming wife is great aid to him. and 1t is largely due to her influence that he is so catholic in hia tastes, for she, you know, was edu. cated at Vassar and spent eleven yean in this country. So she has distinctly occidental tastes, and on the walls of their house you will see the paintings of European and American artists as well as those of Japan. The Marquise Oyama is in every respect charming woman, speaking English perfectly and understanding thoroughly the art of entertaining. It is a pleasure to visit them. and no people are more popular than the marshal and his wife.
 "The Satsuma clan, of which the Marquis Oyama Is a member, is the best and most aristocratic in Japan. The Satsumas have always been great fighters, good soldiers, with the true spirit of the samurai. and they are physically a larger race than most of the other Japanese. They have also been among my country's greatest art ists. as the exquisite pottery turned out in Satsuma even today bears wit. ness."
 Do you know what Oyama's fsais zion is. whether 1t is Christian, Bud~ dhIst Shintoist or whatf'

Pickett and Cronan Match the Talk of the City Cotch Had His Hands Full-Other Gossip

Tonight in City hall will be pulled off the fastest and most exciting wrestling contest that has ever taken place in New England. As the boys say, it will be tor blood and it will be test of strength and cleverness be- tween two as athletic young fellows as there are ill this city. For many months the friends of Dan Pickett and Dave Cronan. have been telling what one would do to the other in case they ever met on the mat and these boasts will be tested this even- ing when the two get together. Gro nan is supposed to be the heavier of the two, but those who know say that he will not weigh over five or six pounds more than Pickett. The lat ter is to be thrown twice in one hour of actual wrestling if Cronan is to be declared the winner and if Pickett secures one fall he will be declared / the winner. There will be two goo preliminaries and the first one will start promptly at 8 o'clock. This will be between ''The Turk" and "1'e-
 Blondin" and will be for one-half lour. The second preliminary vii bring together Gresham, the cham pion of Montreal. and Young Fitzger- aid of the Goodwill club.
