High Priest Hut chins is proving a most capable head of the chapter and the years end will show it to have been one of the best in the chapters history.

Franklin chapter, No. 4, Royal Arch Masons, held a conclaye at Masonic temple on Thursday evening, at which it was decided to give a pipe organ to the Masonic temple corporation for the blue lodge room to cost S2,500.
 This matter has been under discus sion for some time, having come up first in the conclave of chapter, after which other bodies using the blue lodge room appointed committees relative to the matter. The chapter has de- cided to give the organ itself, and it will be installed so as to be ready for use the first of October. Since the placing of the fine new organ in the asylum of the commandery, it has been considered that the same feature in the lodge room would be a valua- ble thing to have and so much did it appeal to the bodies using the blue lodge room that it apidly came to a head. The organ will be similar to the one in the asylum of the commandery. although larger, as it will have two more stops. The finish will be in oak.
 The organ will be placed in the northwest corner of the lodge room where the piano is now located and will extend eleven feet to the north and make it necessary to close up one

HARVARD TOURS
 HAVE TWO MILE RACE.
First Crew Defeated Second by 2 1-2 Leneths-WiIi Probably Be the One to Meet Vale.

The first Harvard four oar defeated the second varsity four in d two mile race Thursday for the first time since the arrival of the crews on the Thames. The race was rOwed over the first two miles of the course from a point in front of the freshmen quarters down to the Navy Yard, and was won by the first four by two and half lengths of open water in 11.54. The first four got the better of the start and were length ahead in the first half mile and gained steadily until the finish. The men in tine two fours have been inter changed constantly, and the winning crew of Thursday will probably be the one to meet Yale. The first four was made up follows:
 Stroke. F'orste; No. 3, Balch; No. 2, Sargent; bow, Loring; coxswain, Voor- hees.
 The second four rowed
 Stroke, Waite; No. 3, Hooper; No. 2, Smith; bow, Wiggins; co11s wain, Strauss.
 The varsity eight rowed down to the saroke in like way. The freshman eight covered the same course as the varsity in short stretches.
 The Harvard varsity eight rowed easily down to the navy yard in the morning, and turning, for half a mile back rowed at a 34 stroke, covering the half mile in 2.27. The stroke was then lowered and the boat padded back to quarters in easy stretches. The fresh man eight rowed down to the navy yard and back. It is stated that Sulli- van, who has been tried out at No. ?, in the latter boat, now looks like fixture there.
 The varsity four had an easy two mile paddle down stream.
 Yale Varsity Covers Two Miles.
 The afternoon practice was taken shortly after o'clock The freshman tight, going out first and rowing down stream, suprted for the last half mile. The return was made in short sketches. The varsity eight went down stream two miles, coached by Mir. Kennedy, returning at an easy stroke. The three fours also went down stream, going as far as the navy yard. There were no changes in the crews for the afternoon practice.
 A spirited half mile brush up stream between the fours. and a shakeup in the freshman eight furnished the chief interest in the morning work of the Yale crews. The Thames presented smooth surface, and this materially aided the men. The eights went out Coach Kennedy's eyes. The varsity was sent up stream for a mile and a half and return. The freshman eight covered a similar distance. In the latter boat PhiFbin displaced Scragg at No. 6, Brunden took Reeds place at No. 4. while Adams was seated at No in place of Bcmeslsler. The changes in the freshman eight resulted in a re- seating in the freshman four as follows: Roweyn, bow: Reed, No. 2; Bomeisler, No. g. Scragg, stroke. Thorne now in the second varsity four, changed places with Brainard, the first varsity bow oar.
 The race between the fours was won by the first varsity by a length, the freshmen finishing second, and the second four third.

The Tattler of the New London Day saiys:
 Norwich seems to have acquired the Thayer habit. But then. Mayor Thayer is responsible for Norwich be- ing on the map. If he had not made that now famous remark that the best of the city was located in the Yantic cemetery, Norwich would yet be en- toying it's perennial sleep. That epi- grammatic utterance made Charles F. Thayer mayor of the Rose. It looks very much as if after trying change for one term. the people of that city had decided that he is needed as chief executive to keep the place alive"
