TO purchasing likely young hunters

however, that Mr.. Hitchcock will buy
any made jumpers. as he finds the
keenest delight in developing his own
cross-country horses.
He was familiar with chasing In
England dozen years or more ago,
and he was responsible for the intro

Liverpool into America. During his
Cambridge days Mr.. Hitchcock became
acquainted with the Liverpool He
had ridden considerably over. the
English course, and did not believe
that any course was complete with
out the Liverpool. But its introduc-
ton here met with storm of protest
which gradually was overcome. and
the Liverpool is not only considered a
necessity for any well-constructed
course. but as safe as bank and

this country was at little meeting

the most exciting ever witnessed. Only
in turning did Daniels exhibit superiority.
Healy certainly proved himself the better
swimmer. Nearing the end of each lap
he just made up what he lost in the
kickoff and looked to be forging ahead
when he had to turn again, and he was
behind once more. He put his very soul

narrow margin. He had the sympathy Of

ROWING IN FLORIDA.
Plan to Hold Big Regatta on St.
Tohn's River.

JACK. oNvILLE. FLA. January 49,
Several hotel proprletors OF Florida
are discussing the advisability or
arranging an amateur rowing re-
getta to be held each winter at
some favorite resort in the South.
There is an intimation that the first event
might be held on the st. Johns River,
Florida, the events to be open to all
recognized amateur cub oarsmen. and
under National Association rules. ID
is thought that a Southern regatta dur
ing the winter period would do a great
deal toward keeping the Southern oars
men In condition or at least advance their
preparations for the spring races in this
