GREER GOING AFTER
SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP

WORCESTER, Mass, January H.
Frank B. Greer of Boston, the ex-cham-
pion amateur sculler, will make a strong
effort this year to regain the champion
ship wrested from him by Harry S. Ben
nett at the national regatta last August.
Greer has secured quarters at Lake Quin-
sigamond and will have his own training
camp with Jim Ten Eyck as his trainer.
Greer Attributes his defeat to the fact
that he had only one week under Ten
EycK and his shortsightedness in using a
brand-new shell. with which he was un-
familiar on an unfamiliar course.
Greer says: There is much that /
could say regarding my race at the ma
tional last August, but / don't want to
detract in the least from Benefits vic
tory, which he fairly won. There is no
excuse for a man not in condition start
ing In national regatta. and that's the
reason that l have not tried heretofore to
explain away my defeat. Bennett is
fine sculler and an honest, conscientious
worker during the training period. There
Is much about his style that is commend
able, and in my opinion he Is one of the
best champions we have had in years.
Although others have said that Benefits
course in the race was several lengths
shorter. owing to his having the inside of
west shore course on the Schuylkill river
/ am not making the same statement, for
there was no hitch or string to his VIC
tory.

The Unfortunate Napoleon III. at the

Battle of Sedan.
Sarah Be-nhardt mention in her me-
moirs that Napoleon Ill had two
horses shot under him at Sedan. Some
having thrown doubt on her statement
and denied that the emperor was ever
in personal danger at the time, Baron
Very, son of the late colonel of the
Cent Gardes, gives what he afhrms to
be the authentic account of the unhap-
by soyereign's persistent attempts to
court death when he saw that defeat
was unavoidable. On Sept. /, 1870.
at O'Clock in the morning, Marshal
MacMahon. returning wounded to Sc
dan, met the emperor riding out to
Bazeilles. Napoleon III. realized that
the situation was desperate. He rode
slowly out, depressed and thoughtful,
under hail of shot During an hour
he Inspected the positions. Bullets
rained on his escort Captain d'Hende-
court was killed a few feet away from
the emperor. The latter, deliberately
seeking death, alighted, ordered his es-
cort to remain behind an embankment

height where he stayed for another
hour, exposed to fire. He mounted
again and rode to another part of the
field. General de Courson and Captain
de Trecesson We're dangerously wound
ed by his side, but not bullet hit him.
The emperor at last seemed to despair
of meeting his death as he sought it
and rode back to Sedan at noon. In

escort up the Grand Rue one burst

looked on stolidly, understanding, per-
haps, that It was not his fate to die in
action. The story that he had two
horses killed under him is, therefore,
not correct. But there is no doubt that
the unfortunate emperor, beaten and
i'll, pathetic and tragic figure, did de-
liberately seek death on the field to

Besieged Five Times.

= :
Quebec was long the key to the pos
session Of the entire Dominion Of Can
ada. 1t became a part Of the unwrit-
ten law Of nations that whoever held
Quebec became entitled to possession
of the surrounding territory. This ac-
counts for the fact that Quebec has
bsen under siege or prolonged and con-
certed attack no less than five times
a record comparing with those Of
some of the famous war towns Of con-
tinental Europe. For over a century
Quebec was the center Of military op-
erations Of France and England in the
new world, as well as the educational,
religious and political center In it's
value as strategic point Quebec is
unsurpassed by any city in North
America. By successfully resisting
the Continental army under General
Montgomery and Benedict Arnold in
1771 Quebec saved all Of the present
dominion Of Canada to Great Britain.
It was the city that opened the way
to the establishment of the great trad
ing posts in the wildernesses that
were to earn vast fortunes for kings,
princes and nobility. At Quebec is the
Basilica, the mother church of Roman
Catholicism in America. 1t was in
Quebec that dwelt and ruled, with
their retinues, at the Chateau St.
Louis, the governors sent over from
France and England. The city has
long boosted Of one of the strongest
natural Notifications in the world-the
Citadel, browning the city, well de-
scribed as the Gibraltar of America,
which was designed by Lord We'll
lington. Quebec was at one time the
capital and largest city Of the vast
territory, and it founded and fostered
the great industries that have utilized
the Unreasonable wealth of the Do
minion-ship building, numbering. man
ufacturing and mining.
From the foregoing it may readily be
realized why the tercentenary of this
coveted city is considered to be Of
primary international Importance. In
short, Quebec gave Canada to France;
that is why the French revere, as
Dickens wrote. .the city suspended in
midair." Quebec gave Canada to Brit
ain; that is why the British cherish
the city as one Of the rarest Jewels in
the crown of empire.
