grave Of James Fenmore Cooper yesterday
afternoon, when the village children clad
In white, sang a lyric written especially
for the occasion by Andrew B. Saxton Of

Following the ceremony Of the strewing
Of flowers the address of the afternoon
was delivered by the Rev. Ralph Bircsall.
Mr. Birdsall closed his remarks with
strong plea for the Cooper monument. He
said the stranger looked about him on visit

Of pilgrimage for the people Of the world,
for some conspicuous signal. some Haunt

tdon he is disappointed in finding simple

at fault but the expectancy of finding It

the Longwood cup was the defeat Of w. j.

the narrow escape from defeat which r. d.

national championships in both the inter-

other important regattas, it has never won

eight oars.
The crew has been somewhat handicapped
lately by an accident that happened to
Brewster the stroke oar, he twisting his
ankle last week. while playing base ball,
necessitating his being out of the boat for
Tuesday, and will pull from that seat in
the races. The rest Of the crew is in good
physical shape, and ready to pull the race
of their lives for the honor Of Washing
ton and their club.
They will meet on Friday the celebrated
Fairmont eight of Philadelphia, a crew
regarded as the best of its class on the
Schuylkill river. and the Arundels Of Balti-
more, who recently defeated the champion
Ariels OF Baltimore in a grueling race and
who, under the coaching of Rice, who
brought Columbia College up to a fine
shape have developed into formda BILE
opponent for any crew in America. The
race will be ,rowed at $50, and will be the
last race on the program for the first day,
Friday.
Should they win the intermediate eight
cared on Friday they will start on Satur-
day in the senior eight-oared contest, en-
blematic of the American championship
which carries with 1t the right to make en-
try in the English Henley at London next
summer In this race will be entered the
very best eight-oared crews that are today
before the American public, and mighty
struggle is anticipated by every one.
1t will be recalled by oarsmen that the
eight-oared race lats year ended In a long
drawn-out race. with no decision in favor
of a winner The Argonauts of Toronto,
Canada; New York Athletics and River
sides of Boston started in that race and
the first named was thrown out for foul
ing, and the other two crews rowed two
races and each ended in dead heat, so
evenly were the crews made up. No de-
cision was ever reached, and the three are
entered to fight it out this year. The West
Philadelphia, which won at Philadelphia
on July 4, are also in, and with the Poto-
macs Of this city will make wonderfully
strong field to pick winner from, as from
headquarters comes the report that each
crew is the fastest one the club has ever
sent forth.
Coach Dempsey and Chairman John Had
ley Doyle Of the Potomacs are confident that
the crew will give a good account OF them
selves; their great hope Is to win the inter
mediate race, and then go IN and see what
the crew can do in faster company, with
hope Of landing this big race also.
The crew as made up and as 1t Will row

VICTORY FOR FREEMAN
REINSTATED AS SUPERINTEND-
EMIT OF SCHENECTADY SCHOOLS

According to information received here
Prof. John T. Freeman, formerly a super
vising principal in the local schools, has
been reinstated as superintendent of the
public schools in Schenectady, N. Y, from
which post he was summary dismissed a
few months ago by politicians. Incl
dentally, 1t seems, the citizens OF the New
York town not only succeeded in their
fight to again place Mr.. Freeman in his
position at the head of the schools, but at
the same time forced a complete separa-
ton of the school system from politics.
Prof Freeman left here for Schenectady
two years ago, having been appointed to
the superintendency of the schools Of that
city with the almost unanimous vote Of
the school board. Horatio G. Glen, presi-
dent of the board. who wanted the place
for a friend, it is said. was the only man
opposed to Prof. Freeman. Defeated in
that he set about to elect friendly board,
and with this accomplished early the past
spring Prof Freeman was officially de-
capitated without hearing or charges, or
opportunity to air the other side of the
case.
Worked Its Own Ruin.
But this high-handed proceeding worked
its own ruin. because the people of Sche-
nectady arose almost en- masse in Prof.
F'reeman's behalf Citizens organized n ass
