RIVER WET AGAIN
Water to be Allowed to Resume
Course in North Channel
of Rock River.
cHUTes RENEW OPERATIONS
Several Feet to Cover Bottom While
Power Dam Is Being Built
Then 16-Foot Stage.

The work on the cofferdams in Rock
river has progressed so far that the
Watch Tower management expects to
be able to run the chutes again by to-
morrow evening Large crowds have
been at the Tower since the cutting
off of the water from the north half
of the river, and it is thought that, the
opening up again viii cause just as
much interest. The water between the
dams will he quiet and boating on that
section will receive quite an impetus.
Boat Livery Considered.
Ed KrelI of the Watch Tower COM
pany states that plans are under con-
sideration at present to install boat
livery in connection with the chutes.
By this plan those who wish to rent
boats will be taken down TO the foot
of the hin on the chutes, to make the
walk of some hundred feet down hill
unnecessary. With plenty of water
no perceptible current and some fine
river scenery a boat livery will be al.
most a necessity for the Tower. 1t will
not be installed this year. but will
probably be ready for the public at the
opening of the season next year. This
season will close, according to present
indications, Sept. 20, but in case OF
very good weather the park will re
main open a week longer than that.

Next Sunday will be big day at the
Tower. The Svea Male chorus of q

will be at the Tower all day and viii

Americas Rifle Match
Was No Easy Victory

The London Daily Mails overseas
edition of July is gives the follow
ing account of how the American
team won the international shooting
match:
The closing day of the Olympic
competitions at Bisley saw the Unit
ed States team win a brilliant VIC
tory in the international match, fired
with military rifles. Throughout the
match the Americans led, but at no
time was the advantage one that
substantially out-distanced the teams
representing the United Kingdom
and Canada.
All the teams produced range to-
tails, and eventually grand aggregates
that were remarkably close, showing
that in no case did the teams carry
long tail The match was fired in
two stages the first leaving the Unit
ed States team with stage aggrega-
ton of 1921 points for the three
shorter distancts-200, 800, and coo
yards. The British score At this stage
was but 10 points lower, while that
OF Canada was 1,244. This order,
eddy enough, was maintained
throughout the whole of the second
stage yesterday, which embraced the
! 500. 500. and 1000 yards ranges.
The following were the final

WINNING TEAMS RIFLES
A point of much interest to be OBJ
served in connection with this match
Is that the winning team fired with
the new Springfield rifle that has re-
Gently been adopted by the United
States Army. 1t is, like the Lee-En-
field rifle now in possession of the
regular troops of the British Army,
very much shorter than the military
rifles generally in use Its barrel is
only "a inches In length, which cor
responds with the length of the short
Lee-Enfield rifle, concerning which
so much embittered controversy has
been waged in this country during
the last two or three years.
The British and Canadian teams
beta used the long Lee-Eniield rifle,
va has 3O-inch barrel. The
LGcriean NO fires pointed bullet
weighing lSO grains. which is con-
siderably less than the sharp-nosed
bullet used by both the British and
Canadian teams, that fired by the
British team weighing PES grains.
which is 10 grains heavier than the
ordinary blun-nosed bullet used with
service ammunition.
