petition Canada is represented by
James Cosgrove Of the Argonaut Row

time in many years Belgium has sent
no contestants to the regatta this year.
The absence Of the Belgians, however.
is Offset by the unusual number of
entries from Germany and Holland.
In view of the worldwide atten-
tion always given to the Royal Hen
ley il is interesting To recall how In
significant was the beginning of the
great Thames regatta. Although as
early as 1929 the rival university
crews Of oxford and Cambridge met
ON what is now the Henley course on
the Thames, 1t was not until ten years
later that the actual regatta was or

Earl OF Macclesfield as patron. and

at one hundred guineas as "the Heniey

rowed for annually by amateur crews
In eight-oared boats. Later the Stew

The Cornish wrestling tournament
conducted at the Amphidrome at
Houghton yesterday was a very in
teresting one. There were II entries
in all and the matches which were
not finished yesterday will be conclud-
ed next Saturday evening.
one of the warmest bouts OF the day
was between Joe Ziehr of Calumet.
formerly champion at this style of
wrestling and Chris Person, the we'll
known catch-as- catch can exponent,
who made his first appearance i'm the
jackets. The men were evenly match
ed for. although Ziehr was more sci
entifc than Person, he lacked the
weight of the new man and was not
in as good condition. Neither man had
secured a fall after several hours OF
fast work and they will finish next
Saturday evening both having been
accepted as standards. The match be-
tween Charles Hoar and William Dav-
ey was also very close. After wrest-
ling several hours, both were accepted
as standards and Hoar finally threw
his opponent.
In the preliminaries. Morgan threw
Charles Chapman; Walter Chapman
lost to James Chapman; Sam Hoar
threw Charles Luxon; Rouse lost to
Clarke; Charles Chapman threw sam
Hoar and steve Chapman gave his
brother Walter his back.
After standards had been reached.

A GOOD FOURTH
IN RED JACKET
MANY INTERESTING FEATURES
CONTRIBUTED TO SUCCESS
OF THE CELEBRATION OF
INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Red Jackets celebration of the
Fourth was success i'm every sense
of the word. Favored with fine wealth
er. local people were able to enjoy the
program prepared to the utmost.
Probably the feature of the day was
the hammer and drill contest, in which
last years winners, the Tucker broth
ers. were again successful, drilling 40
inches in Is minutes, believed to be "A
record i'm this part of the country.
Beckers team ran close second fin
ishing with n distance of 3S inches,
and having the misfortune To drill
through the side of the rock. Had the
team drilled perpendicularly. it is
said, il might have won the contest.
There is strong probability that the
Tucker and Becker teams will meet
again.
The following are results Of the
hammer and drill contests:
Flrst-Tucker's team, 40 inches.
Second - The Amygdaloid team

Third-Peter's team, 80 rs inches.
Fourth-w Wolverine. "a 1-2 inches.
Fifth-Tamarack team, 81 inches.
Sixth-Kearsarg team, 80 inches.
Seventh-Johns team, % inches
Eighth-Moyles team, II inches.
IL should be mentioned I'm fairness
to the latter team that poor steel was
responsible for the poor showing.

Another feature of yesterdays cele-

ascension of Prof II. S. Martin of st.

somewhat high last evening. Prof.
Martin made n perfect ascension. and
his parachute drop was n spectacular
one. At height of 1000 feet Prof.

RffUStS TO TALK POLITICS
Although Pressed to Express Himself
On Matters of Great National Inn
pOrtance H9 Declines to bO
"lnterviewcd."

Robert Nj. LaFolette. United States
senator from Wisconsin, accompanied
by histwo sons. Robert NJ. Jr., and
Phillip G. LaFollette, arrived i'm
Houghton this morning aboard the
steamer Northwest. from Buffalo. The
senator and his sons, who are IS and
13 years old. respectively, went to the
Douglass house for breakfast. They
were i'm the dining room at the hotel
for long time, indicating that the
lake breezes had sharpened their appe-
tites.
Upon their leaving the dining room.
the sons went out to the Michigan Coll
lege of Mines where they spent two or
three hours inspecting the buildings.
The senator went to the loggia OF the
Douglass house to smoke a cigar and
IL was while he was so engaged that
reporter for The Calumet News
sought an interview.
II do not wish 10 discuss politics or
any matters OF the last congress ar
fecting the political issues or situa-
tions of the country. / will do that
when the campaign opens I'm the fall.
| will say, however. that tho last ses-
sion OF the congress was very inter-
esting."
All efforts to draw the senator out
were unavailing and each time the
conversation would approach any of
the vital issues before the country the
insurgent member of the national leg
islature would defy change the sub
ject.
Senator LaFoliette stated that he
had been i'll for the past three weeks,
and was taking a lake trip for the
benefit of his health. He left this af-
ternoon by rail for his home near
