McGee having considerable difficulty in keeping off Miller, of the New York A. C. Wood, of the Philadelphia Barge club, rowed in the first heat, as did young James Ten Eyck, of the local club, but neither was factor, Ten Eyck finishing last.
 Another interesting contest developed in the first heat of the intermediate singles, in which Kerns, local oars- man, set the pace. Warnock, of Spring. field, beat him at the turn and on com ing back Major, of the First Bohemian, passed him and Kerns, and nearly caught the Springfield oarsman. War nook and Major will have Henderson, of Winnipeg, and Thomas McGee, of the Ravenswood club as competitors in the finals tomorrow.
 The Metropolitan Rowing club crew, of New York, won the senior pairs easi- ly, over the Philadelphia Barge club, by eight lengths, while the crew of the Nonpareil Rowing club of New York, had nearly walkover in the race with the St. Alphonsus crew, of Boston, in the intermediate fours, which opened the days events.
 The sport closed with fine contest between three intermideate eight-oared crews. the Argonauts, of Toronto; the New York Aethletics and the Wachu- setts, of Worcester. All three were Tapped as they neared the finish, and while the New Workers spurted, they could not catch the Canadians, who won by half length, with the Wachu- setts third by three-quarters of a length.
 The police arrangements for the course Were excellent, and there was no interference during the afternoon, while there was gratifying absence of fouls.

HARVARD MEN GAIN WEIGHT
Cambridge Coach Says His Men Have
 Big Handful to Tackle.


 Big Handful to Tackle. Bourne End, England, Aug. Wv nen the Harvard rowers weighed in this morning it was found that John fSlch- ardson, jr., Robert L. Bacon ana Daniel Newhal had increased in weight, The weights of the crew followi
 Robert M. Tappan, 168; Sidney Fish, 165 Flint, 179; Gordon c. Glass, 1S6; John Richardson, jr., 185; Robert l.. Bacon. 1855; Daniel Newhall, 1S1; Oliver D. Filley, 163; Francis M. Blagden' coxsWain, 105.
 There is some diversity of opinion as to who should row bow in the Cam bridge crew, and it is the general im- pression that there are one or two weak spots in the English boat. With a month for training, however, Coach Muttlebury doubtless will pull his men together.
 It has been suggested that the Har- yard men might try one of the English boats. It is thought that the drag on their boat is due to it's being shorter, deeper and lower in the water than the English type.
 The interest in the work of both crews is now great, and will increase when they go to Putney as the weeds in the river here are a detriment to clean and fast rowing,
 Coach Muttlebury, while diftident in giving. his opinion of the relative mer- it's of the two crews, imparted the inn pression, in the course of conversation to-day, that he thought the Cambridge men had big handful to tackle.
 Owing to the shortness of the stay of the Harvard crew the captain to-day, in a telegram, formally declined the in vitation to race with the Bann Rowing club, of Ireland.

FINE ROWING AT WORCESTER
Close and Exciting Races in E1imina-
 tiOa Events.


 Worcester, Mass, Aug. 10-There was some splendid sculling, number of interesting races and three or four close and exciting finishes in the elim- ination contests that open tho thirty fourth annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen on Lake Quinslgamond to-day, and the nine events were run off on titme and without the slightest hitch,
 Thousands who watched the sport from the Lake shores or in the 300 canoes that lined the course, did not heed the misty rain that fell frequent ly during the afternoon, while the skullers found water conditions well night perfect.
 From the time the intermediate fours started at o'clock until the interme- diate eights crossed the finish line and closed the day there were three hours of practically continuous racing, and although the local oarsmen failed to come up to expectations the crowd was and cheered the other crews, especially the Canadians and the four oarsmen from the Pacific coast.
 The race in which the Portland, Ore, crew participated was the feature of the day It was the second heat of the senior fours, and the Portland crew had as competitors the Ravens woods of Long Island City and the Metropolitans of New York. The Pa cifc coasters led at the turn, but conl- ing back the Ravenswoods drew up and a quarter of mile from the line they were half a length to the good. Then Portland spurted with the Met ropoHtans tapping their stern, and at a lively pace the three shells neared the finish. The Portlands were creeping up foot by foot, but there were still ten feet more of the Ravenswoods lead to overcome when the line was reach- ed, and the New Workers won. The Portland crew, however, qualified for the finals tomorrow, as did the Mound City Rowing club crew and the Winnepeg, the winners of the first heat.
 The association senior single scull, which was run off In two heats wal the event to which oarsrnen have look ed forward to for several months, and eleven of the fastest scullers in the country started, six in one heat and five in the other The survivors for the finals tomorrow are Harry s. Ben nett, of the Springfield, Mass, Boat club, Frank Wesley, of the First Bo- hemian Boat club of New York, F. McGee of the Toronto, Canada, rowing club, and John O'Neill of the St. Ma ry's clug of Halifax.
 The first two won their heats, and the winner tomorrow will be eligible for the championship event later in the day.

FINDING. wATER WITH. A Tw1G.


 have been much interested from time to time in what we must call the ''witchhazel tales" Let me add little to them.
 Some years ago I was desirous of driving a well near my house, for water supply, so that the pipe could be carried under the house and into the kitchen sink, where a pump could be attached to it. I therefore sent to an adjoining town for the driver of wells, who came with his tools, arriv- ing about P M. He asked me where l wished to have the well located, and l indicated the exact spot. A second man who had accompanied the well ar list took forked tWig from his pocket and began pacing over the ground, and at the very spot where I desired thhe we'll the twigr seemed to point directly to the ground. The well was driven in the exact spot indicated, and has never failed to deliver an aboundant supply of excellent water. It was ready for use at P. M.
 l had often heard of this divining pNoAiCSS DCAOlCb Dul 1 lleiu uGNSI SGGL it, I asked the diviner to lend me the twig, and I went off into the fields by myself, and to my surprise it acted perfectly in my hands, and found that was also a medium. and the matter puzzled me very greatly. I conversed with the seer and found that he was as intelligent and cultivated man, and was, at that time, principal of the high school in neighboring town. He could give me no rational explanation of the phenomenon, but said that he was so sensitive to running water and its con- nection with what he had demonstrated that in driving over bridge with a swift running stream beneath his wrists would twitch perceptibly when holding the reins.--Forest and Stream.
