splendid competing system was in
stalled here. The Lewistown company
was not On especially friendly terms
with the new conner, and as it had no
real alliance with the Bell, its posi-
tion was anomalous. The latter CON-
pany was liable at any time to sever
its relations with the Lewistown,
should it's interests lead it in another
direction, and such development
would have left the local company be-
tween two fires-practically "in the
air." 1t was this situation which led
to negotiations to place the alliance
between the Bell and the Lewistown
company on permanent basis, and
that is now absolutely assured by the
deal just closed. The Lewistown COM
pany continues as a corporation with
s. S. Hobson as president.
Had Successful Career.
The Lewistown company has had d
most successful career, and although
its dividends have been small, under
the very able management of Austin
w. War; the property has been grad.
ually developed and built up until it
has reached its present proportions.
The company was capitalized for $685.
600, and meeting was to have been
held recently to increase this to $780,
900. but that is now made unnecessary.
The officers of the local company were
Austin w. War;, president and treas
urer; Frank E. Wright, vice president,
and L. w. Eldridge, secretary.
How It Started.
The Lewistown company started in
a very small way, and it's beginning
was unique. Many years ago, during
the days that Bob Ammon, now of Sing
Sing. was operating" a mine at Gilt
Edge, he had a private telephone wire
run from his office at Gilt Edge to
Lewistown. OF course it was rath-
er crude affair, but it answered we'll
enough while Mr.. Ammon was carry
ing on his projects. At one time he
asked Mr.. War; and Mr.. Wright to go
on his bond for the trifling sum of

PRIVATE AUTO TRACK.

 Course on His Estate.

Englishman Constructing . Racin9 Course on His Estnte.
 What will be the only private motor racing track in the world is in course of construction at Weybridge, in Eng land. on the estate of H. F. Locke King, says London correspondent of the Chicago Post
 Mir King is an ardent automobillst, and 1t is his love of the sport which has induced him to find a track for speed trials and racing which will be un- equaled in its arrangements and situa- tion. He Is, as he himself describes it, anxious to improve the breed of au- somewhat in the same way as the jockey club has improved the quality of race horses. He considers that there is at present no opportunity of constantly testing all the possibili- ties of an automobile, and course such as he Is making will probably have an important effect on the auto mobile building of the future.
 The track is to be circular one of three miles, 100 feet in width, and its construction will he an engineering feat of no mean order. A great part of 1t Is being cut through thick wood just below Mir. Kings residence. and giant oak and elm trees are being up- rooted. undergrowth cleared away and burned. rayines bridged or filled up and hills leyeled or cut through
 There will be only one slope in the track. and the rest of 1t will be per fectly level. It will be laid in cement. and the banking will be of such a height as to allow of racing at max imum speed of ninety miles an hour.
 At one corner, on a hill 100 feet high, an elaborate home for the club which is to be formed will be built, and from here ., fine view of over mile of the track will be obtained. All races are to finish in front of the clubhouse.
 The track will be situated among some of the loveliest scenery in Sur. rey and for the greater part of its length will run through an avenue of nne old trees. The Automobile Club of Great Britain is taking great interest in the venture and Is helping Mir. King with advice on matters of detail.
 Continental clubs are also to be in. vited to membership of the organlza- ton which will govern the course, and 1t Is probable that the weybridge track will become the scene of many of the great trials and races of the automo- bile world. The track. it is expected. will be completei in March next

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

One of the reasons why Mag Hag- gerty's Reception" which Thomas Ryan and Mary Rishnsh are pre- senting at the Jac0uss this week as the headline feature q the bill en- joys such tremendous popularity among all classes of theatergoers. Is Its all appealing humanity. While the chief character in the delicious comedy Is an old Trishman who has made fortune and married his daughter to social light and forth with has to undergo the ordeal of being made over into what passes current as a gentleman. Mir Ryan's Old Man Haggerty is as fawiess a piece of acting as the American stage possesses. There is not a single false note in the entire characterize tion. The brogue is >drippingly sweet, the quaint old face is mar vel of make up and the quizzical eyes now aglint with fun and again sparkling with impatience are so faithfully used that the complete ere ation differs in nowise from hundreds of elderly Celts with which every community is enriched. No one can afford to miss this delicate infinitely artistic bit of satirical comedy genius and the remainder of the bill Is also we'll worth notice because 1t con tains the names of Charles and Fam nie Van. Dorsch and Russell. the Metropolitan Opera trio. Kriesei's dogs and cats. the Whitman Sisters and Willie Robinson. and the Three Brothers La Maze. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents: ladies 10 cents. Reserved seats. Tel l090.

has arrived and Coach Murray A. Russell
former captain of the Georgetown varsity
crew. says he has an even better set of men
than his four that gave such a good ac-
count of themselves here two years ago.
Coach Russell has instructed his men to
use the regular Pat Dempsey stroke-the
same stroke that Russell used when the
Georgetown crew finished second at Pough-
keepsie. He has fast set of men. but
they are not extra heavy. He says. how
ever. that they have been going pretty
good and that they will finish well up. 1t
Is too bad the Virginia boys have not the
same crew that gave the Potomacs such a
tussle at West Point. but for one reason or
another Coach Russell could not get the
same men out.
Coach Plaisted of the Analostans had his
junior eight out earlier than usual this
afternoon and put them through fast
mile. The men have been taking care of
themselves and are In excellent condition.
and under his direction are rounding into
the best of form. This crew will be put to
severe test of its staying power as 1t Is
entered in two races-the junior and inter
mediate Fights.
Joe Daily, the Analostan intermediate
sculler. was out at the same time for his
usual afternoon spin. He also went over
the full course in good time without ex-
used a long. sweeping. easy stroke and
came back to the house strong.
From Boat House Row.
The Philadelphia contingent was the
latest to get on the river, owing to some
delay with boats and oars. Late in the
evening. however. nearly all the crews from
BOAT House Row went over the course.
The Vesper eight showed their usual good
form. and Coach Jim Dempsey's men
showed the powerful body swing that has
made the Vesper crews famous. The Fair
mounts outboard work was clean cut
throughout and showed up in contrast with
the more careless blade work of the YES
pers. The crews from the Pennsylvania

enough to be without their boats were sad
ly bemoanng their fate and envying their
more fortunate rivals TWAS certainly no
day for indoor exercising.
Many of the early arrivals were on the
river the first thing Saturday morning. and
all along the river front the enthusiasts
leveled their field glasses on the visiting

Greer in the Limelight.
Ex-Champion Frank B. Greer was. of
course the center of attraction, and the
balcony oarsmen" followed his every
move with great interest. The big fellow
surely did astonish the natives with his
work, as his boat went through the water
at a wonderful rate. While those who saw
Titus row here two years ago have great
respect for his form and record as Sculler,
they all voiced the opinion that Greer had
Titus beat in every department of the
ing game. HIS bladework may not be as
clean as the old Atalanta sculler, but his
body work Is much faster and stronger.
and he is much more consistent than Titus
ever was. After Greer and Guild took a
bracing spin over the course in their
double, the champion went out for his trip
in the single. The boat never faitered
bit, but there seemed to be little list to
starboard, which Coach Jim Ten Eyck re-
paired as soon as the sculler got back to
the boat house.
Ed Kerns, the representative Of the Wa
chusetts Club of Worcester. put in a busy
norning with Coach Pat Dempsey repair
Ing the hole in his shell, which he got
when he ran into a launch anchored on tine
boat house The whole nose OF the shell
was stove in. and it was difficult job TO
get the tiny pieces of frail cedar back into
place. The starboard rigger had to be
sent to the foundry to be Strengthened out,
and the raishap kept the husky little New
England oarsmen off the water all day.
The Canadians were on the water just
about noon, although they did not expect
to be able to get out before late tonight.
They were given a scare about their rig
gers not arriving. but they were found
among a lot of some other clubs goods,
much to the delight of all. AS soon as
their man rugged up the shell they took her
out for spin over the course They ex-
pressed great satisfaction over the race
track on the Potomac, and said that it was
as good as any that they had ever rowed
upon. Their form impressed large gal
lery, and there were many who doped the
