Americans Were over Confident.

Loudly shouted, "They are OFF"
was the yell that echoed from Putney
Bridge to Craven Cottage when the
signal shot was fred. and like some
huge and many-legged monsters the
two shells of Cambridge and Harvard
broke from their leash and began
their wearlsome struggle for victory
against more than four miles of cur
rent, toward Mortlake, beyond which
the finish line is located. The old
stone bridge at Putney, Hammer
smith Bridge, nearly two miles up the
stream and all along the banks on
both sides of the picturesque Thames
hundreds of thousands of people were
crowded together from early morning,
patiently waiting for the great event
OF the day, the race between Cam
bridge and the crew from across the
water.
The crowds were not a bit smaller
or less enthusiastic than when the
great varsity race between Cambridge
and Oxford was rowed Although the
race today is not for the champion
ship, but merely as test of the SUI
periority of the two contesting crews
without reference to their past rec
ords, the race appealed to the sport
ing spirit of the Britons, who love a
race or fight for its own sake. Both
crews have been defeated this year,
Cambridge by Oxford at the big var
sity race in which oxford won owing
TO a serious blunder of the Cambridge
coxswain, and Harvard by Cornell.
The match between Cambridge and
Harvard was arranged by r. G. Leh-
man and F. L. Higginson, in England.
The first offer was made by Harvard
and the Cambridge crew did not hes
itate to accept the challenge and in
vite the Harvard men TO come over
here for a race for the mere sport.
This is the first time since August,
1869, that an American university
crew rowed against an English uni
versity crew in this country. In that
year a four-oared crew from Harvard
rowed against an Oxford crew over
the same course of four miles and
three furlongs. Harvard rowed a
splendid race but was beaten by
small margin. That event stirred up
great deal of interest on both sides
OF the ocean and it is safe to say that

By the decisive distance of two
lengths Cambridge won the great in
ternational boat race today, stalling
off by steady powerful strokes ali
Harvards desperate spurts. The light
blues had the advantage of choice of
stations, which gave them at least
length to the good. They got away
ahead and were able to maintain their
lead and even increase il. 1t was a
pretty race throughout Cambridge

to the minute, at the start, gradually
reducing the rate, while the Harvard

reached daylight showed between the
shells. Then the crowd went mad
and it was 100 TO one that Cambridge

 Washington. July l7--Louis A.

Gourdain announced that he intended to apply to the Supreme Court to order his incarceration in the penitentiary at Joliet.
 Mir Gourdain arrived here tonight and went into the Raliegh Hotel, where he registered as L. A. Gourdain, 300 Illinois State Prison, Joliet, Illh." He declared he was going to ask the postmaster to post notice saying that he would pay back every cent invest ed in his enterprises with per cent interest. He dictated a petition to the United States Supreme Court which he said he would fil tomorrow, asking for writ of mandamus directed to Judge Grosscup of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago to set aside the supersedeas which he granted on July 5. 1906, and that he or der the marshal to immediately send Tim back to the Illinois State pentien- tiary.
 In his petition Gourdian says that he gave his sacred word as a gentle man" that he would under no circunl- stances apepal from the judgment but would serve his time and pay his fine, adding that when I came out would need all my fortune. consisting Of cash, real estate. national bank stock, pri- vate banks, trust companies and bonds and securities of every civilized nation on the face of the globe and then by unanimous consent of the entire Gour- dain family we would wipe ourselves or the face of the map of the United States so that this government would not have any more trouble with us"
 The petition recites he refused to sign his release bond, demanding that the marshal take him back to Joliet.
 The petition concludes: T told him fthe wardenl that would neither eat, sleep nor drink until I mad filed this naandamus proceeding with this hon. orable court and had it granted or re- fused to get me back into that peni- tentiary."

being at loss to forecast what the next move will be.
 The present unsettled state O. af- fairs developed one week ago when a sub committee Of the Democratic State Central Committee was organized to take charge of the State and Senator ial primaries. At that time a majority of the committee. headed by Judge Henry B. Hines of Bowling Green. elected Col Mott Ayers, of Fulton. as secretary of the sub committee, and, 1t is claimed. turned down Adjutant General Percy Haiy. General Haly has since denied that he was candidate or campaign manager. but opponents of Governor Beckham insisted Haly was the Governors choice.
 Governor Beckham some time ago announced himself as a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed J. B. MsCreary. whose term will expire In 1903. A primary to take the senti- ment of the voters will be held simui- taneous.y with the general election in November
 As the situation now stands, it would appear that there are two anti Beckham combinations ct work. that Of Judge Hines, which apparently dominates the state central committee and the party machinery. and the Blackhurn-Mc ry organization. The Blackburn Mo- Creary combination which seeks the re-electicn cf Senator McCreray has ap- parently been much strengthened oy the events of past week and today's qualification on candidate for gov ernor
 Although Judge Hines and h!s friends are said to favor Eager. the governor Is also said to be friendly to the au- ditor's candidacy. Politicians consid- CT 1t more likely that Governor Beck ham and the Hines organization will patch lip their differences than that the governor will bring out a third candidate for the governorship.

A certain re- finement of humor ir spots, an elimi- nation of some of the pointiess horse play, would be a decided benefit But taking the production as 1t stands, there Is a suficiency of cleverness to keep the audience in good humor dur ing the performance, and laughing most of the tune.
 Throughout the piece there are a number of good songs and catchy dances. Specially favored among these were the ouartette "A Point to Bear in Mind." "A Rainbow III the Sky" by Nan Goldie and the chorus of girls, ''Blooming Lix." by Rosa Gore and company, and 'Tindo.

 Of the individual work of the com pany, perhaps the best from an artistic itandpoint, was the solo work of Mile valesco. the soprano.
