CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

The continuous wet and cold weather
for the past month is causing much anx-
iety for the French cereal crops Some
regions report that the damage already
is serious. while in other regions the sit
uation is critical.
In a keen inter-city contest with the
crews of Ave municipalities competing.
New York oarsmen carried off the lions
share of honors in the annual People s
day regatta Monday on the Schuylkiil
river at Philadelphia. OF the 10 events
on the program New York won five. Phil
adelphia four. Boston two and Baltimore
and Detroit one each. The day was ideal
for rowing, a light breeze helping the
crews to make fast time.
The power boat Bashi Bazouk Of
New York with seven men on board
caught fire five miles off Block Island
at A. NJ Monday and was quickly
destroyed. All hands escaped by
jumping into small boat which held
them until a Block Island fisherman,
who saw the fire, rescued them. The
sInall boat was so small that two of
the party could not get on board and
had to stay in the water, hanging to
the rail.

A MARROW ESCAPE
From Serious tnjury by Gov. Pcthier
and Party in Runaway.

Bristol, r. l.. July 4.-Governer A.
j. Pothier of Rhode Island had a mar
row escape in a runaway accident
while riding in an old stage coach
which was to have been one of the
features of the Fourth of July parade
here today. With him at the time
was Mrs. Pothier, Samuel B. Colt.
president of the United States Rubber
Co. and Edmund II. Gurrin of Woon
socket. a member of the governors
staff. The coach was one in which
James Fl. Dewolf an ancestor of Mr..
Colt. made the trip to Washington
when he was elected senator from
Rhode Island in 1920 and is $50 years
c.t.
The party was just getting into the
coach. The crunching of wheels
frightened the four horses drawing
the ancient vehicle and with leap
they started to run, careening close
to one side. Suddenly they snapped
the pole and the horses freed con-
tinued the run for a mile and half.
The driver of the coach was dragged
from his seat and sustained two brok-
en- ribs. Governor Pothier and the
members of his party, although badly
shaken up, were not injured.

FLYING BY NIGHT.
French Aviator Tells Of Certain Incl

Paulan. the French aviator, tells of
certain incidents in his recent record

real idea that l should be able to start
that day, and 1 had only five hours
sleep the night before. I found the at

tricky currents and it was somewhat
difficult to find just the altitude at
which they would bother me least. /

line of the Midland railway to Hamp-
stead By this time knew that had

dashed me for twenty minutes while I
was in the neighborhood of Rugby.
Fortunately, l am not unused to flying
in rain; therefore. although it was un-
comfortable it was quite dark. All I
could make out beneath me was the
smoke of a train of lights from a viii
lage. l came down rapidly from 300
meters to 100, so that could be more
certain of my direction.
Then came the most exciting mo-
ment of my fight. Darkness had fall

a fish-hook turn and my machine was
now pointing toward London.
Suddenly my motor stopped every
drop of petrol exhausted, and the ma
chine swooped downward almost like g.,
stone dropping. What should I do?
Beneath me was the brewery and a
certain smash. Behind me was a mar

TAFT'S BUSY FOURTH.
President Passes Independence Day In
Boston and Vicinity.

Boston, July 4.-President Taft
spent a busy Independence day in Bos-
ton and the three adjacent cities of
Everett, Somerville and Cambridge.
Motoring up from Beverly he made a
hurried call at Everett, where he saw
1000 school children. Continuing on
to Somerville, he reviewed a typical
Fourth Of July parade only to have his
enjoyment of the day somewhat
marred upon learning of the death of
Chief Justice Fuller. During the day
he found opportunity of expressing his
grief over the nations loss and sent a
message of coincidence to the family.
Hurrying into this city he saw Bos-
toms effort towards a safe and sane"
Fourth and endorsed the movement
in a characteristic speech in which~lae
expressed the hope that the idea would
spread throughout the Union.
After a lunch at the City Club, he
motored to Cambridge, where he was
the guests for an hour Of President
Lowell of Harvard. His speech to the
National Education Association in the
Harvard Stadium closed the public
day and it was a somewhat tired Of
fetal that climbed the steps of the
summer capital at Beverly at sun

ART OF GARDENING.
French Metropolis Spends Much
Money-ls Giving Three Scholarships,

Probably more money is spent an
nually in Paris for the maintenance of
the flower beds in public squares and
parks than in any other European city.
Instead of choosing sturdy plants,
which last several seasons and thrive
without much care the authorities
take pride in offering the best selection
of a dollhouse tulips. hyacinths and ge-
raniur.s. The value that the munich
pality attaches to this subject has been
recently attested by the creation Of
three scholarships for gardeners. The

The task of the, municipal florist is
primarily that of finding ont how eff

Shea Bests Mel
Iody at Houlton.

Houlton Me, July 4,-(SpeciaD -
The bout tonight at the Opera house
between Honey Melody and Kid Shea
was decided in Shea's favor. Shea went
at his opponent from the start, landing
almost at will and only in the fifth
round did Melody show to advantage
Shea banged him to the jaw right and
left and only Mellody's gameness kept
him from going out in the third and
fourth rounds.
1t was one of the hardest and fastest
bouts ever seen in this State. Shea
certainly showed the prospect of the
coming champion. His foot work was,
superb and his aggressiveness was fine,
especially as he went out of his class
to meet Melody. The preliminary bout
was won by young Mack of Easton
and the seIni-final was an even break
between Kid Putnam and Kid Albert.
Jack Poward of St John, N. B., gave
satisfaction as referee.
