WILL AMERICA BUY wdEAT3

GA significant If not a snrpris-
ing statement concerning the
wheat supply Of the United States
is made by The, London "Econo-
mist" In discussing The Ameri,
can railroad invasion of Canada
it says: "It appears to be only a
question of time when, instead Of
exporting the United States
shall be obliged to import wheat
for domestic consumption. "
at is argued that the new
American railroads which are
being pushed into the Northwest
regions of Canada will be in a
position to fetch to this market
the vast supplies Of wheat which
will be grown there for export.
This pleases the tens Of thous-
ands of American emigrants who
have fIocked into the Manitoba
region, and even reconciles the
older inhabitants of Canada 10
the Invasion"
"There is no immediate pros
nect. however. that the United
States will eat more wheat than
it can grow. During the crop
year, which will end with this
week, there have been exported
about 100000 bushels. In
the same period domestic con-
sumption has required in round
figures 100000, 200 bushels.
This means that ont of every
five bushels grown one bushel
has been sold to Europe That
looks like a comfortable margin
Even in the preceding year, when
there was a poor crop, America
exported nearly 65, 900. 900 bush
els.
"That this is land of bread
eaters as well as bread winners
is proved by the quantity con-.
sumed. The average per person
is close to six bushels a year,
which is a more liberal amount of
staple bread than is required by
any other people in the world.
But even with this sumptuous
allowance it will doubtless be
many a.year before the wheat
fields Of the United States under
ordinary conditions will fail to
supply the great American table.
"Justthe same, it is comfort
able to know that if ever weneed'
to buy bread we have a neigh
Dor who can sell it. Moreover,
the enterprising Mr.. Hill is al
ready building the railroad that
would bring it to us. Ritddel-

HARVARD oaRsMEN IMPROVE.
Coach wray Now Has Hopes OF Their
Winning Against Cambridge.

Bourne End. Aug 1.-The Har-
ward and Cambridge crews covered
the same stretch of water yesterday
morning. Harvard practiced two
short spins at a stroke of Is to the
minute, and Cambridge one short
spin at 80.
The Cambridge oarsmen were out
on the river last evening, making
strong practice. They rowed one or
two minutes at 81 strokes a minute.
The evening work OF the Harvard
crew was similar to that of the morn
ing. Under Bourne End bridge the
Harvard boat narrowly escaped col
llsion with q skin which crossed its
bows.
A cool wind lessened the heat yes
terday. The Harvard crew roved
better. although It did rot do any
thing more than a 20 stroke. Coach
wray 10 much pleased with the prog
ress the men are making. He said:
They are Just getting their wind.
They couldn't row more than twenty
strokes without wanting breath when
they arrived. besides being excited by
the crowds gathering to see them
practice and the tremendous cheering
from the excursion launches. IL they
train on l have great hopes of their
winning"
The harvard crew has regretfully
declined the challenge OF the Bann
Rowing club TO ruv a race In ireland.
The deciInation Is based on lack OF

an old scent piece that he dug up

which is Of the old style Of mint, had
probably been under the track for
twenty years. He will have the
nickel framed and placed in the club

the prospects were excellent for good
racing at Charter Oak this fall. He
said that by the time the Grand Cir

Hartford would see the cream of the
racing. The track is considerably
faster this year than ever before and
It is expected that the track record

Nelson. Early Fights-Other
Boxing News.
NELSON'S EARLY HISTORY.

Pale, emaciated, scarcely able to
walk and suffering from III health as.
grayated by a severe attack OF ma
laria, Henry NJ. Nelson, brother OF
Battling Nelson, has gone to Denver
in last effort TO regain his waning
strength. A strang contrast, indeed,
to the youthful vigor and health with
which his famous brother is blessed.
Although the mild hammered
young man Is far from impressing
one at first sight as the blood rela-
ton of q distinguished ring cham
pion, still, despite the Ill health from
which he suffers, he bears marked
resemblance TO his pugilistic brother.
What do think will be the out
come of meeting between my broth
ler and Gans?" he writes, In answer
ID question. '0h, don't claim to
know very much about the ring. Bat
has taken care of that sort OF bust
ness for the whole family. But 1t Is
my opinion that II Cans were to train
down to 1873 pounds he would be so
weakened that my brother would de-
feat him handily. However. Cans
at his natural fighting weight. ]
think, could defeat any man in the
couhtry- az that weight. But. as
say. don't know much about 1t. All
I know is what | see in the papers.
Poor In health since childhood,
Henry says that he has never aspired
10 enter the prize ring. And, al
though be Is two years older than his
distinguished brother, he has never
even experienced the pleasure of Civ
ing the incorrigible Bait = a single
drubbing.
"But he never needed It." affirmed
Henry, "He was good brother, al
ways, though he was meaner than rat
poIson with the other boys; that Is.
until he had thrashed them. then he
was as nice as pie. We used TO have
n ueIghbor boy about Bats age that
/ have always considered deserved
credit for making my brother what
he IA, He used TO pummel the life
out of Bait. Why, that kid couldn't
eat his breakfast In the morning
without coming over and giving Bait
4 licking just for relish. But my
brother kept at him and kept at him.
and after a year or two II would sur
nr,se You what a meal that boy could
rel away with without laying an eye
