THE CHORAL SOCIETY.
Annual Meeting and Election of
Board of Managers.

Board of Managers.
The annual meeting of the Washington
Choral Society was held at the Washington
College of Music last evening, at which
time eight new members to the board of
managers were elected. In the following or
der: For three years. Mr.. Sydney Lloyd
Wrightson, Mrs. Berenice Thompson, Mr..
George P. Tucker, Mr.. o. G. Sonneck and
the Rev. George G. Deiand. Those elected
for term of one year were Mr. Frank
Byram, Mr.. John Roberts and Mr.. III. j.
Davis.
A general discussion of the future of the
society was entered into and there was a
very large attendance of the active MEM
bers. The principal subject which came up
was the action recently taken by the Wash
ington Symphony Orchestra shareholders
and the Musical Art Society In planning q
combination Of their societies with the
Choral Society. A letter was read from Mr.
Eugene Z. Stevens outlining the plan which
was discussed at some length by Mr.. Ber-
nard r. Green and Mr. Sydney Lloyd
Wrightson. These gentlemen argued against
the plan, giving for their reasons that the
Choral Society had recently been reorgan-
ized and during the past season had been
made material and artistic success. When
this combination was proposed year ago
II did not meet with the popular favor that
had been anticipated and as the Choral So
ciety this year had succeeded by its own
efforts, II did not seem wise that IL should
cooperate with any other organization in
town. For twenty-three years II has been
a successful musical enterprise in this city.
and since its reorganization IL was felt by
the members that very brilliant prospect
for it was IT. view. No definite action was
taken, but II was felt by those present that
the combination would not be q wise thing
Final action was referred to the board.
A committee. consisting of Mr.. Sydney
Lloyd Wrightson, chairman; Mr.. III. j. DAILY
and Mr.. Frank Byram, was appointed TO
negotiate with the Columbia Theater to Sc
cure Monday evening. June 49, calling 1t
Choral Society Night II was proposed
to buy the house out for that evening and
that the members of the society should
be urged to sell the tickets for the Guy
Standing Stock Company's regular per-
Torrance. 1t was felt that in this way. the
public could be urged to support the Choral
Society by patronizing that particular
evenings performance of the theater. and
II all the musicians In town take an active
interest in urging their friends to attend
this evenings performance a neat little
sum can be realized for the Choral Society
treasury.
The new board viii have its first meeting
on Monday evening next. June 4. at which
time the regular officers for the coming year

mixed. and Charley White, who refereed.
had a hard time pulling the men apart.
Rubin began to get clever, and he danced
In and planted straight left to Fergusons
eye. Fergy retaliated by smashing Gus
on the cheek, raising a lump, and they
clinched. Both were fighting hard. when
Sandy half pushed and half knocked Rubin
to the floor. AS Gus arose the bell sounded
and honors were even.
At the beginning Of the third Rubin
knocked Ferguson down with a hard right
hook on the jaw. and after second or
two Sandy got up laughing. They fought
at close quarters and Rubin had the bet
ter of It, Gus was going nicely when
Sandy suddenly clapped him on the jaw
with his right, and Gus staggered to his
corner as the bell rang.
The fourth round was all Ruhlins, with
Sandy showing flashes of speed Ruhlin's
condition began to tell and he was stronger
in the mixes. He staggered Ferguson
across the ring with straight right, and
few seconds later he planted hard left
to Sandy's face. He then rushed Ferguson
across the ring with series of hooks and
swings, some of which landed, and when
the bell rang Rubin had established lead.
The fifth round was also Ruhlins Gus
tried hard to land a winning punch on
Sandy's Jaw, but the Chelsea fighter could
take punishment, and he stayed to the end
Both tried hard in the last round. Gus
was tired and Sandy could scarcely raise
his arms but they were both willing. and
some heavy snashes were exchanged. Fer
guson landed several hard wallops, but
Gus was anxious to win decisiyely. so he
kept coming In spite OF the punches. Rub
lin sailed into Ferguson In the last minute
of the round and put lefts and rights
across to Sandy's face with bewiidering
confusion. When the final bell sounded
Gus had established good lead.

REUBEN HARRIS DEAD
Business Man Succumbs to
Acute Nervous Trouble.
HIS DEATH A SURPRISE
Expressed Belief Last Night That
Health Was Greatly Improved.
END CAME FEW HOURS LATER
Had Been Identified with Business
Interests in Washington About
Twenty-Eight Years.
END CAME FEW HOURS LATER

The death of Mr.. Reuben Harris. one of
the foremost business men of the District.
which occurred about IL O'Clock last night.
was unexpected, although he had been In Ill
health for long time. In the twilight last
evening as Mr.. Harris stood In front of his
residence, 1882 10th street, conversing with
his business partner, Mr.. A. d. Prince, he
remarked how comparatively well he felt
and said he intended to go down town to
his place of business this morning to "see
the boys" He also said he believed the
ride in the bracing morning air would be
of benefit to him.
When the announcement OF his death was
made, therefore, shortly before midnight
1t came as a shock to Mr.. Prince and others
of the friends of the deceased merchant.
At the time of his demise Mrs. Harris and
two of their daughters were at the bedside.
and it is said the husband and father passed
away SO peacefully that those in the room
could not realize for several minutes that
the end had come.
For more than year Mr.. Harris had
been sufferer from form Of acute ner-
vousness which finally resulted In break
down of his nervous system. He was man
of great energy and sometimes worked to
a point beyond his nerve capacity. He was
said to have inherited his energetic tempera-
ment from his mother. who was noted for
her activities. He had been away from
Washington since last October and spent
considerable time in the south of France
and IN Italy for the benefit of his health.
He returned about two weeks ago, and
Saturday before last visited his place of
business and chatted cheerfully with his
partner and the employees of the establish
ment. This was the only time he had been
at his business place since his return TO
Washington.
His Business Record.
Mr.. Reuben Harris had been engaged in
the jewelry business In this city about
twenty eight years. being at the time of
his death a member OF the firm of r. Har-
ris e. Company at 7th and D streets, the
other member of the company being Mr.. A.
d. Prince. who was a first cousin of the
deceased. Prior to embarking into the CO.
partnership Mr.. Harris had lived In Wash
ington about FIVE years. He was born in
New York city, October g. 1857, and was
of Scotch and English descent his mother
having been native of Scotland. She was
a prominent woman In New York and
among her many friends was Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln. She was woman of nervous tenn
permanent and died suddenly when her only
son. Reuben, was fifteen years of age The
lad was reared in luxury and was highly
educated, receiving part of his instruction
In Europe. He spent much time at Berlin
with his uncle, who was leading banker,
and there received considerable part of

CORNELL MAY
BREAK WITH HARVARD

ITHACA, n. Y, May GA break in the
friendly relations existing between the
rowing departments OF. Harvard and Cor
nell Is now threatened, and 1t Is very
doubtful If the Ithacans row again on the
Charles river This contemplated rupture
Is the result of observations made by the
Cornell coach, Charles Courtney, and his
men during their visit to Boston last week.
when they scored a decisive victory over
the Crimson In dual boat race.
Last year Cornell was dspleased by the
alleged unsportsmanlike conduct of Capt.
Filiey and the coach, James Wray, of the
Harvard varsity crew. when the Cam
bridge men would not let them know their
course until the day Of the race. At that
time it looked as II Cornell would never
again meet Harvard. but the trouble was
satisfactorily adjusted.
This year the Cornell men were given
the use of the Union Boat Club house on
the Charles river, and during their brief
stay their shell and sweeps were quar-
tered in the Union house Wednesday
and Thursday. Cornell did some splendid
rowing on the Charles, and the practice
spins were watched closely by former Coach
Storrow of the Harvard varsity crew. and
other prominent Harvard oarsmen of the
last few years.
A careful study of CorneIfs system was
thus made by these watchful observers,
and without realizing the benefit of this
espionage Cornell played into the hands
or the Watchers, as nothing was concealed
by the Ithacans Courtney said nothing
at the time. but II is well known that he
was given no possible opportunity to study
the Harvard style of rowing by following
the Crimson crew with launch. and 1t is
highly improbable that he was anxious to
do SO.
1t was another alleged unsportsmanlike
ruse that Courtney and his Cornell men
are worrying about most It Is the at
tempt of some Harvard men, identified
with the Union Boa Club, to appropriate
the ideas used by Courtney In rigging his
shell for the big races.
The Union Club Is made up for the great
er part of Harvard men. and while the
Cornell she'll was quartered In the club
the most minute measurements are said
to have been made of the shell itself and
outriggers. the locks, the foot braces, the
slides and peculiar fin arrangement.
Whether or not the measurements will
be utilized by the Harvard varsity in the
tussle with Yale next month or with
Cornell In other years remains to be seen,
but Courtney Is fully satisfied that Cornell
has nothing to gain at Cambridge, but has
everything to lose. IL Harvard and other
colleges are to appropriate the ideas which
have given Cornell the supremacy of the
american intercollegiate rowing world.

Hayden has been playing regularly with
the York club. His first real base ball ex-
perience was playing the outfieid with the
Philadelphia Athletics. At that time. he
was weak fielder but clever batsman
Since then he has played with several clubs.
but most of the time with the Baltimore
club OF the Eastern League.
Hayden was expelled for jumping the Bal
timore club last season and going to the
outlaw league. His claim for reinstatement
was the ground that he was being
farmed out, with no chance to rise In MS
profession, and was forced to leave Baiti-
more in order to get a fair deal 1t was
found that Hayden's statement was true
In forty-six games for Baltimore last sea-
son Hayden batted for 297. and he had a
fielding average of 969. He had stolen nine
bases and had eight assists from the HELD
showing his main strength as heider.
Cleveland's considering this player worth

tion-of Boston giving him chance TO WIN
the hearts of the fans there.
President Ban Johnson believes Hayden
win help the Boston club, as he has been
hitting much better for York than he dld
for Baltimore and is good man to lead on.

KENDRICK
IDAHO

The spring trade is opening up in
a most satisfactory manner and the
outlook is indeed promising for this
year. The merchants are putting
their spring stock out and the sales
are increasing. The criterion OF the
most value however is the bank,
which is the pulse of the community
Investigation there shows q splendid
increase in the chenille, a good
growth of'business, and a most en-
couraging outlook for the year.
Our business men have seized the
opportunity and gone after trade in
a way to compel it to travel here,
and backed by their large stock, by
low prices, and an indomitable en-
ergy are more than regaining the
custom lost by the fire. One factor
in this successful achievement has
been the State Bank. which under
the management OF j. W. Bradbury,
has gained the confidence OF this en-
tire section in way not possessed
before, and is further by it's con-
sentative but liberal methods stead
lily adding new custom to itself and
hence to our merchants.
