 There was a wild seen of tumultuous demonstration as the men of Harvard welcomed the victors and celebrated their triumph. It was twilight as the great din moved shoreward from the river banks, turning from the fleet sparkling with electric lights to the streets of this old shipping town. Soon the college men began to move to their home fields, the outgoing trains taking crowds to New Haven and Cambridge, Secretary Taft being among those leaving early for New Haven. A little later the Mayfiower, with the presi- dential family aboard, headed toward Oyster Bay the other yachts and the throngs of visitors scattering, and the Harvard-Ya boat race of 1908 was Q memory.
 Earlier in the day honors were di- vided. the Yale four defeating the liar ward four by two lengths, and the liar yard freshmen eight defeating the Yale freshmen by three lengths.
 GriswaId Recovers.
 At the Yale quarters tonight it was found that Griswold. whose home is In Erie Pa, simply suffered complete nervous collapse. He was quickly re- vived, but his grief was pathetic to be- hold. Captain Ide stood loyalty by him, as did every man at the Yale quarters, and there was nothing but sympathy for him, even from the wearers of the crin- son. Griswold was not overtrained nor was he out of condition. He simply suf- fered an utter nervous breakdown.
 The Yale oarsmen elected as captain for next year H. A.. Howe, 1939 of Orange. N J. Howe is 20 years of age, six feet one inch in height and weighs 1S6 pounds. This was the second year that he has rowed on the varsity eight. He is one of the most powerful oarsmen that Yale has had in recent years. He rows at No. 6.
 At the Yale quarters Captain Ide said :
 Harvard defeated us and tthey are en- titled to the victory. My boys did all they could they did nobly. I have no more to say
 Harvard elected as her captain for 1909, w. R. Severance, 1909, of New Bedford, Mass. Severance is 21 years of age, five feet II inches in height and weighs lI7la pounds. This is the second year that he has rowed in a Harvard varsity boat.

 Dougless, Walters and Henline drew short singles in succession. but with
 the bases full Downey lined out to third, retiring the side.
 After throwing away chances to score in the fourth the Barons an- nexed another in the fifth, Admiral Johns twirling. Henline and Downey beat out hits to the infeld. Holmes flied out to short, but Turner hit further-to center. On the out Wal ters registered.
 The second score of the visitors came

 Hurlburt hit safely. Castro forced the
 big catcher at second. but went to
 second himself when Johns was walk ed.
 Moran hit to left and Castro registered
 In the eighth the Barons got another,
 making tn cir total four Molesworth hit safely. and when Demont failed
 to sacrifice him stole second. Meek
 did the proper thing with his bludgeon
 and before Becker could return his hit
 from right, Molesworth had registered. Atlanta rallied in the ninth, and got
 one run over. Becker led off with a
 double and went to third on Foxs hit. Jordan hit to pitcher and while Fox
 was forced at second Backer declined to register. But he had to score wheth- CT he wished to or not, for Hurlburt followed with his fourth hit of the afternoon. Dyer flied out to Henline. however, and Johns hit to Turner and went out at first.
 Castro's election was due to a dis pute with the umpire as to whether the
 umpire, when making a close decision in favor of the Barons knew that he was in error or not.
 Castro contended that the umpire did know that he had ruled enormously. | O'Brien was positive that he had not, and Castro went to the players bench | with a fine of S5 plastered to his ex- l pected oh eek.
 Castro mumbled something and tho l umpire overheard. With proud step ho crossed the diamond to where the re- i calcitrant Venezuelan sat. You are assessed another fine of 35, MT. Castro stated MT. OBrien. | It Is then said that Castro. with a
 stick in his hand, attempted to break 1 by Molesworth, Smith and others, in
 an effort to get vengeance on the man | whom Boxter thrashed, or Is alleged 1 to have thrashed.
 Then said MT. OBrien: MT. Castro
 herewith fine you another s5 and in- sist that you leave the grounds Castro made another leap at the um- pire, but did not land. Then there ar rived on the scene the efficient --r. | Bennie late of the horse marines, and efficient Jack Curran, doork eeper at democratic conventions every fourth | year. and custodian of the city hall be- | tween dates.
 | The efficient MT. Bennie and the ef- | icient MT. Curarn restored sweet peace, and invited a return of the gentle | dove.

Billy Smith, Atlanta's manager, will not land Sitton. He will, therefore, cling to Cummings until he can procure other help.
 At the beginning of the season Sitton was Harmed" to Augusta, the under standing being that he would revert to Smith at the conclusion of his years work When Smith got in need of pitch CT, however, he requested Augusta to re- turn Sitton. But Augusta. claiming that 1t was in as bad a fix as Smith, refused, and there Smith is.

BILL LOSES SI77ON
 WHAT ABOUT SABRIE2

It is rumored that Smith is preparing to part company with James Fox, the vet eran first sacker, who has always been considered one of the best fielding first hasemen in the league. It is said that Fox's hitting is falling off decidedly, al though his work in yesterdays game would belle this report.
 The rumor is to the effect that Smith will latch on to Eddie Sabrie, formerly with New Orleans, as good an all-round man as there is in the league. But Smith has said nothing relative to this matter, and the rumor might be rumor only.

Unless Manager Molesworth undergoes a change of heart, Lou Bauer will work for the Barons this afternoon.

Artificial Honey.

Artificial honey can now be made so
like the genuine article in flavor that
even the expert cannot tell the differ
ence. Thick sirup of sugar is boiled with
a minute quantity of mineral acid, which
converts it into the same form occur
ring in honey. This is mixed with some
natural honey of strong flavor, and
thus closely stimulates the real article.
1t is said that the following, known as
Ley's reagent, will detect the spurious
honey: Ten parts of silver nitrate are
dissolved in hundred parts of water,
and to this twenty parts of 10 per
cent solution of soda carbonate is
added. The precipitate iss filtered
washed and dissolved in 115 parts of
10 per cent solution of ammonium
chloride. 1t must be kept in the dark
in a well-stoppered bottle. The honey
to be tested must be diluted with twice
its weight of water. A few drops of
the reagent are to be added and heated
for five minutes on a water bath in
the dark. Natural honey turns brown
and shows a greenish-yellow fiuores-
cence; the imitation turns a lighter
tint and shows no fluorescence.

WEALTH HIDDEN IN OLD TABLE.
Problem California Woman Left for
Administrator to Solve.

Cunningly hidden in a secret recep-

tioue table, the fortune of the late Mrs.
Jessie Fremont Dietsch of San Fran
cisco, relative of the noted pathfinder,
Gen. John C. Fremont, was found re-
Gently by the deputy public administers
tor, w. J. Hynes. The neatly fastened
little bundle give up a bank book show
ing deposits of $4,000, a costly collection
of time honored jewelry and countless
shares in wildcat concerns worth their
waste paper value.
The discovery of the effects of the err
ratio woman of historic lineage ends a
search that Hynes and his men pursued
for several days with great earnestness.
When Mrs. Dietsch died, on April %,
alone and in seclusion, her effects were
taken charge of by the public admins
traitor in the absence of any near rela-
tives. The officers were informed that
the old woman was possessed OF great
wealth and the stories came from such
reliable sources that it was deemed adj
visable to make complete search OF
the premises.
With this end in view Hynes and his
assistants strained every effort to locate
the hidden treasure. Every article in the
house was overturned and thoroughly
searched without avail. Even the car
pets and tapestries were ripped open in
the hope that they would yield some of
the glittering gold which the aged recluse
was supposed to possess.
Just as Hynes was about to abandon
the search he accidentally knocked off
the hollow leg of an ancient table. In a
cleverly contrived cache the public ad-
ministrator sped an old wallet. Opening
the bag. Hynes discovered that it con-
tanned the bank book, jewels and stock
certifcates.-Los Angles Times.
