One Of the fastest events of the day
was the intermediate double souls,
eight crews getting away at the gun.
The first half was a pretty contest be
tween West Philadelphia, Nassau. and
New Rochelle. Coming home, Coach Ed
die Marsh's Philadelphia champions
drew away and crossed the line, rowing
easily, although behind them New Ro-
chelle. Nassau. and the New York Ath-
letic crews had a hot fight for place,
finally crossing in the order named.
In the association singles Jchn O'Nein,
OF Halifax, had no difficulty I'm keeping
ahead OF his four competitors after the
turn was made. while Alex Warnock,
the local favorite. was d poor third,
being badly beaten by Mehrhoff, Of New

eights, furnished the principal excite
ment of the afternoon.

Four crews started in the senior
doubles-the Springields, New York

and the St. Louis Rowing Club. The
quarter the New York team led by a
short length. Then Springfield gained,

Elements of Strangth.
Reason No. 1-McAleer's men have
more baseball brain than any team in
the league.
Reason No. 2-Browns have "tightest'
infeld in league. AS a trio Williams
and Wallace and Ferris have no equals.
Reason No 3-As feIders the Browns
are in the first fight. The defense of
the team is superb.
Reason No. - Experienced pitching
stan. When Powell, Dinneen, Wadden,
and Howell are right" they will win
three-QuaTteTs Of their games
Reason No BEST young catching
corps in eithe~ league Spencer. Steph-
ems, and SmitS are capable of catch
ing championship ball
Reason No. 6-Jack O'Connor. the real
director Of the Browns forces on the
field
Reason No. 7-Because the Browns are
strong f1nishers." The farther they 90
the better they go.
Reason No S-The Browns are the
gamest and most aggressive ball team
in the country. There isn't a yellow
belly on Hedges payroll.
Reason Nc 9-The Browns have q
habit Of coming from behind" They
never quit
Reason No 10-Just because" This
is the best reason Of the ten.

The Western Hotel Reporter has a
good picture of Harry Wingate Lake
with the following text:
Harry Wingate Lake, the well-known
hotel manager. has Just received the
appointment of manager of Hotel Ven
DOME. San Jose. Mr.. Lake will take
charge of this popular hosiery on April

nolulu. He began his career as room
clerk at the Arlington Hotel, Santa
Barbara, twenty years ago. Later he
became manager of the Ramona Hotel

Hotel Rafael with pronounced success.
From there he was called to the head

TRADE WITH SEATTLE.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
One Of the heaviest shipments of West
ern avenue goods sent to Hawaii this
season went on the Columbian yester-
day, the consignment consisting of a
thousand sacks and 500 crates of pota-
toes and 500 sacks and $50 crates of
lemons. The order was placed with the
house making the shipment nearly a
month ago, and the stock has been
ready to leave for the last fortnight,
but has been delayed by the series
of accidents which have befaIlen the
boats in the Hawaiian trade.
