Chivalry Blooms Gaily.


Who says that valor is dead?
Who maintains that the days of
chivalry are no more; that
knights no longer live who pin
their ladies' 'kerchiefs on their
breasts and go forth to face
dragons or the caitiff foe? If
such there be, let them consider
Slater of Virginia, Christian
name and postoffice unknown
He officers to marry Carrie
Nation. All other valorous
deeds sink into insignificance
beside this deed. Even the
great faunal naturalist now
tearing Nairobian lions limb
from limb and eating them raw
appears like an arrant coward
compared with Slater of Vir-
mia.

AN ODD MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
An Early Form of Violin introduced
by the Crusaders.

In THE Cairo Scientific Journal Harold
Sheridan gives an account of that curious
musical instrument. the raha ba. which was
introduced into Europe by the Crusaders,
and. with slight modification of the orig
inal name. is known as the rebecl,
II has certainly been evolved from the one
stringed Tyre of tho early monuments. the
single string twanged with the finger devel-
oping into the present double str1nged in
strument played with a rude bow and pro
vided with body.
Even in its present state it is most
primitive instrument. made up in the rudest
way out OF long iron nail, cOcOanut,
few strands of horse hair chat of the liv-
ing animal being most in request1, piece
of fish skin and sundry pieces of wood
The last are coarse!y glued together and
the body is made of half the cocoanut. over
which a piece of moist sktn-th1t of the
Nilotic fish known as the bayad-is tied
tightly until it dries. The tone is regulated
ly incisions made in the body. these being
most numerous when the tone is intended
to be loud and this is further regulated by
moving the bridge. The rababa is of con-
siderable interest as marking an early stage
ir the evolut on of the modern violin.

MANY SWIMMING MEETS
New York A. G.. Stars Will Bid
for CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Saturday, August 20. will mark the clos
fng meet of the Canadian swimming cham
pionships, in Toronto, and a delegation of
Eastern swimmers will enter the four
events on the progTamme-the 40 yards
and one-rile swim, trick diving and high
diving. c. NJ. Daniels, Bud Goodwin and c. D.
Trubenbach of the New York Athletic Club,
and J. Spielberger, Of the New York Swim
ming Club, are booked for the swims, and
Harold Smyrk. Arthur McAleenan and
Tom O'CallaShan for the two diving con-
tests. which In England and Canada are
held separately, the fancy diving from a
low board, the high diving from thirty
foot tower George Gaidzick, Of the Chi
cago Athletic Association, has also sig
nified his intention of going after both the
latter titles.
Owing TO unexpected circumstances
Daniels may have TO abandon the trip, but
Bud Goodwin is expected TO win his events
In Philadelphia. on August q. the 100
yards scratch race for the Sackett cup viii
be held, in connection with the middle
athletic championships. This race ranks
with the classic yearly features Of the sea-
son, and the New York Athletic Club al
wa"s sends its best swimmers TO compete
for the cup. South. Reilly, Goodwin and
NeTich Will Try Tor the hODor OF represent
ing the Mercury Foot organzation Indf-
cations point to Nerich being the man Sc
lected. He swan the century In 80 sec
onds last week, in the slow home pool. and
this is better by several seconds than any
of the others have shown.
An effort is being made to have the man
who represents the. New York Athletic
Club at Chicago In the one-mile champion
snip race Also take part in the ten-mile
MISSISSIPPI marathon, in st. Louis, Sep
TENDER g. But there IS decided preju-
dice among Eastern distance swimmers
against competing in any race in the Mis-
s'ppi River. The current is so erratic
that unless one knows its vagaries one is
at q bad disadvantage. For strangers the
odds are overwhelming, and no champion
cares to risk his reputation in a race III
which victory depends so much on chance.
IL must also be taken into consideration
mat on the same day the one mile race for
the metropolitan Amateur Athletic Uriou
championship takes place at Sea Gate. un-
der the auspices OF the Atlantic Yacht
Club, Goodwin holds the title and he will
probably want to defend il.

TO SUE IN BRIDGE BIDS
Former Head of Williams Co.
Charges Political Favoritism.

John Williams. formerly head of the
Williams Contracting and Engineering Com
pany in which Senator James j. FraWley.
of Tammany Hall. is a power. said last
night that he intended to take legal action
which, he believed. would show favoritism
and political influence in the awarding of
contracts by the Bridge Department. The
contractor said that he was the lowest
bidder by s. 800 on the contract to build the
Pelham Bridge. but his bid was thrown out
on the ground that II was irregular. He
contends that the bid was valid and its
rejection contrary to law.
Early this week, Mr.. Williams says. a
taxpayers suit Will be begun by a resi-
dent of The Bronx to prevent the award
ing of this contract to any save the lowest
bidder Also an injunction will be sought
he says, stopping the Controller from GER
tifying the contract which the Bridge De
partment had given to the contractors who
were higher in their bid. Mayor Gaynor
promised last Sunday, Mr.. Williams says.
to make a thorough investigation of this
matter. declaring vigorously that there
should be no favoritism in department con-
tracts.
Mr.. Williams maintains that his bid was
perfectly proper, the alleged irregularities
being two trivial matters. When this was
explained to Mayor Gaynor, he says. the
Mayor said that the city could hold him on
that bid as his bond and certified check
had been put up.
The contractor says the trouble all goes
back 10 the work done by his company on
the Blackwells Island Bridge. That con-
tract was let to the Williams Engineering
and Contracting Company. a copartnership
he says in which Senator F'rawley had no
part On the Blackwell's Island contracts
this concern now is suing the city for some
1926. 600, which case is before a referee.
Under the Mcclellan administration, Mr..
Williams says, an offer to settle for $685.
COO was made, but agreement was
reached
In 1904. he says, the Williams Contract
ing and Engineering Company was incor-
porated. Senator F'rawley entered it. Mr..
Williams says Frawley has tried to get an
assignment of the interest OF one of the
original members of the copartnership,
James Kennedy, to get in on the profits of
the Blackwelrs Island contract, but never
succeeded.
Recently. he says. Il snap meeting of
stockholders of the company was held and
he was ousted as president on some techni-
calities. Frawley being elected president
and his sister Mary secretary.
I'm the last six years 1 made $1,000 900
for that company" said Mr.. WiiIIans.
When these actions are brought. much in
terestng material will be brought TO light
regarding the awarding of contracts"

GENTRIANA WINS EASILY
Light Harness Racing at Monroe
a Great Success.

The first light harness racing ever held
on the pretty half-nile track at Monroe,
\. Y, closed yesterday, after a most sue
cessful meeting lasting three days. There
were big crowds, enthusiasm and sunshine
galore yesterday, and splendid pro-
gra1nme of sport was furnished, with two
pacing events and one trotting event on the
card.
Gentriana. a four-year- mare, which
is a daughter of the famous John r.
Gentry, won the 2:25 pace in straight heats.
It was apparent from the word Go" that
the rest of the field was more or less out
classed. The mare drew the pole at the
start and did not change her position dur
ing the three heats.
The free-for-all pace went to Henry Bed
worth, with small Interference from Mary
Ann, which finished In second position.
Joseph Gibbons had Claro entered in this
race, but the big geldins adopted a sort
of go as you please gait and finally
threw a boot and was distanced in the
second heat.

BRONX HIGHWAY COMPLAINT
Grand Concourse Boulevard in
Need of Repairs.

The poor condition Of the Grand Con-
course Boulevard. q Bronx highway, which
was completed less than a year ago, has
aroused widespread condemnation since
the beginning Of the automobile touring
season This great driveway. available
alike for horse-drawn vehicles as well as
motor cars. was justly regarded, when
opened, as a valuable acquisition TO the
Bronx highways, leading, as ii does, direct
II from the northern end Of Mott avenue
practically due north to the great park
way systems and the broad crosstown
thoroughfares --.-.- .-..
The maintenance of the road, unfortu-
nately has not been up to the standard
naturally expected OF an important boule-
ward such the Grand Concourse and
the fact is becoming more pronounced that
motorists who live in the upper part Of
the city, instead of using this central road
are now using less imposing but more sat
isfactory thoroughfares.
The statement has been made in several
cases that not only is IT an extreme dis
comfort to drive over the Grand Conoourse
but even if one were TO go at low rate OF
speed its condition is so bad as TO be a
real menace to the car itself.
A prominent Tnotortst. who is a member
Of the Touring Club of America and who
travels extensively in The Bronx. In speak
ing of the condition of this Bronx bouIe-
ward recently. said:
The boulevard is very poorly lighted at
night, making il necessary for motorists
TO use their acetylene lamps, and while
this is contrary TO the city ordinance, il is
absolutely essential for the proper pro-
lection OF the occupants of the car as well
other users Of the roadway A lighting
company Is now putting up lamp posts
along the boulevard and laying conduits
across the road. These have been covered
over roughly with earth. virtually leaving
what is commonly known In country sec
tons thank you mans These hum
Knocks are dangerous TO a car going at
fair rate of speed, and motorists should he
cautioned liz driving over the concourse
at night 10 go slowly over these rough
places"
The attention Of the Park Board has
been called to these conditions. and all mo-
florists hope that prompt action will be
taken to repair the thoroughfare.
