SIX EIGHT OFF TOGETHER.
II Is Thus Proposed TO Send Them away On
The Severn Saturday

In the three boat races scheduled TO
be rowed ON -the Severn river Satur-
day afternoon it has been proposed by
the management of athletics at the
Naval Academy to start all six crews
over the two-mile course at the same
time.
This suggestion has been made in
order to facilitate time, but is subject,
however, to the agreement of the con
tending crews. The midshipmen crews
have already agreed to the PROPOSE
ton, and tits thought that such an
arrangement will also suit their oppo-
nents. If the visiting crews consent
the most interesting event in local
aquatics will be presented.
There have been several four-corner-
ed races on the Severn river in pre-
vious- years, but never before have six
crews rowed over the course at the
same time. The races will be between
the Navy first and Yale varsity crews,
Navy second and Georgetown Fresh
men and Navy third and the George
town Preparatory school. sAll of the
crews will be eight-oared.
The midshipmen are looking forward
to the contest with Yale with the
greatest OF interest, and to trim the
Ellis will place them far in the run
ming for the Poughkeepsie regatta,
which they are to enter.

A SUCCESSFUL HAY gAlL.
Patriotic Sons Of America Had Good Turn.
out Last Night.

The horrible weather of last NIGH,
did not deter crowds from attending
the first grand May ball given bv the
Patriotic Order Sons of America Al the
Assembly Rooms. The decorations
were elaborate and very attractive.
Flags of all kinds and streamers of
bunting and pennants were used in
profusion.
To heighten the effect of the patri-
otic colors in the decorations and
suggestive OF the first of May, there
were dogwood blossoms, apple and
peach blossoms effectively arranged
about the room and entwined with
the patriotic steamers of bunting and
hags. Music was furnished by Pro-
fessor Henry Boettccher's orchestra
and the floor was in an excellent con-
dition for dancing.
The programs were-unique and at
ractive and each dance was dedicated
to some official in town or business
firm. One of the dances was dedicated
TO the Evening Capital. Dancing con-
tinned from p. m. TO a. m. The
attendance was very large and all en-
loyed the evenings pleasure. The
success of the ball reflects great credit
upon the committee of arrangements
who had the affair under their super
vision.

Dual Track Meets.

The dual field and track meets at
the Naval Academy will start on Sat
urday. The track meet between the
midshipmen athletes and those of
Johns Hopkins University, Balti-

to the number of sporting events

Jerome's marriage. With their re-
turn comes emphatic orders from the
Emperor that Jerome shall come to him
at once, and alone. Jerome is indig-
nant, but is persuaded to go ashore
and meet his brother. During his abb
sence, Napoleon boards the ship. He
tells Betsy that she must renounce
jerome. She cannot do this cannot
give up her love. Napoleon tells her
that her sacrifice is for France. He
reminds her that she, as an American
girl, owes a debt-the debt of Lafay-
ette to France, whose women did not
hesitate to give their own lovers, hus-
bands and fathers in Americas hour
of need. He tells her that lit is neees-
sary for the welafre of France that
Jerome should marry the Princess OF
Wurtenburg, and in gratitude for what
France did for her country. pleads
with her To renounce her lover. With
a broken heart, she agrees to the sac
rifice.
The final act brings us back to
Betsy's home in Baltimore. All are
awaiting the return of the Pattersons,
who are on their way home. Anxious

earlier boat. With Calhoun has come
Jerome Bonaparte, who is hidden in
the arbor in which they were first
plighted. on Betsy's return, she is
told the truth, but even then she can
not accept him. She has made heI
sacrifice for France, TO which Jerome
replies that it was not for France,
but for Napoleon's own personal am
| bition, and that is why he has come
back to America to elaiEa her.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Law For Taking Small Oysters Differences
Of Opinion Commission
Strikes a Snag.

The Board of Public Works met in
special session here this morning and
took up the question as TO whether or
not oysters below the regular market
size or seed oysters, couid be taken
from the special section designated for
the purpose by the Shellfish Commits
sion.
Upon this point there IS a difler-
ence OF opinion between the members
of the Shellfsh Commission and Com
mander Howard, of the oyster Navy.
the latter having instructed his dep
uty commanders TO enforce All the
provisions of the Gull law. including
that which prohibits the taking of
oysters uuder two and half inches in
length. Governor Warfield and Comp
troller Atkinson we've present at the
meeting and both inclined towards the
opinion that the law did not allow
the takiug of small oysters even from
the designated section and for the
purpose OF being placed on private
beds. However, the issue was stated
plainly and referred TO Attorney
General Bryan for his forma ! opin-
ion. President Mitchell and DR..
Grave, Of the Shellfsh Commission,
interviewed the Governor in regard
TO the matter.
In order that the definite question
might be settled by the opinion of
the Attorney General, the Shellfisb
Commission amended the regulations
passed by it previous to the opening
of the section on April 10, in such a
manner as to present the issue clearly
In the previous regulations adopted by
the Commission, authority was given
to catch oysters in the designated ter
ritory and the proviso was made that
they should be culled of shells,
viii ch should be thrown back upon
the beds. 1t was not definitely stated,
but only implied that the small oys-
ters sho1ld be taken. In order to
make this clear, the Commission so
amended its regulations to include
the statement that "all oysters suit
able or planting purposes may be
taken whether they shall be two and
a-half inches in length or not. It
was upon the validity of this latter
clause that the opinion of the At
torney General has been asked by
the Board of Public Works.

FONING RACE CANCELLED?
Strcng Feeling That Georgetown VIII Not
Row Navy on Saturday Coach
GlendOn's Statement.

There is very strong feeling at the
Naval Academy over the fact that the
Georgetown rowing management has
Cancelled the race scheduled for Satur-
day between the second crews of that
institution and the Naval Academy.
1t was freely said that unless the race
was rowed, athletic relations between
the two institutions would be broken
of. The letter cancelling the race was
received here yesterday morning and
the reason given was that the George.
town crew was not in shape for good
race.
Coach Glendon was in communica-
tion with Manager Stewart, of the
Georgetown crew, last night and i'm
sisted that the crew should come.
However, Manager Stewart, with the
approval Of Coach Russell, stated posi-
lively that the second crew wuld not
come 10 Annapolis. The race was orig
inally scheduled for Saturday, April
6, the date of the race between the
first crews, but was postponed atsthe re :
quest of the Georgetown management.
The second crew members are partic-
ularly disappointed, as it is the only
race they have scheduled.
Coach Glendon issued the following
statement today:
''The action of the Georgetown
coach in trying to cancel the race with
my second crew four days before the
event was TO take place is most un-
sportsmanlike act that / have known
in eighteen years OF coaching. can
MT believe that the authorities behind
Mr.. Russell will allow the pleasant
relations between the Navy and
Georgetown crews to be severed which
will be the case if Georgetown does
not row us on Saturday. Our second
crew has trained faithfully all spring
with only this race in view and, at
Georgetown request we postponed
the race month to give Georgetown
a chance to get into shape. If my
crew does not get this race it will be
great disappointmeut,to them and as
far as | am concernedd, there Will be
no more boat racing between George
town and the Navy"

HIS MoDEsTY FORBADE.

A certain well-known humorist re-
Gently attended a banquet at which he
was seated beside a man who seemed
to have almost a mania for story-tell-
ing. He began with the oysters and
had at least one story for each course
clear down to the Roquefort. The hui
morist listened in patience. but did
not smile or make any comment.
Finally the story-teller noticed the fact
that he was not eliciting any express
sions of mirth, and, being n who
was not at all afflicted with diffidence,
he asked:
Say, old man, what's the matter
with my stories, anyhow? You haven't
cracked a smile owe any of them"
IF l haven't seemed to appreciate
your stories you will have to blame
my modesty."
Your modesty? There's nothing
about any of the stories I've told that
ought to interfere with anybody's mod
esty. At least l supposed they were
clean. If there's a double meaning in
any Of them, for heavens sake tell
me. I told nearly every n of them
to a lot of women the other night"
There's nothing at all the matter
with them. They're good, clean
stories. Nevertheless, my modesty
forbids me to laugh at them. l wrote
them."-Chicago Record-Herald.
