WILLIAM u. 1AOb, IT.
The National Association OF American
oarsmen held a meeting In New York
the 18th OF the month and voted to hold
the Middle States regatta on the Patapsco
August 4. The Ariel and Arundel clubs Of
Baltimore will be the hosts OF the occa-
sion, and the former club Is preparing for
the influx OF contestants and their boats
at this early date by building a temporary
addition to their house.
Next Saturday. for the first time IN a
number OF years, the Potomacs and Ana
tostans will row . match race over the
mile course, starting from the Three SIS
ters and finishing on . nne with the Po-
mao house.
At present II seems UNLIKELY that the
Old Dominion Club OF Alexandria win be
represented in any OF the events, as the
Potomac men have had no opportunity to
whip a -four" into shape nor are they
willing to raoe Walter Thran against
Carl Mueller, whom the Alexandrians
have inttmated that they would enter.
Tho idea is that Thrau Il considered a
--sreenhorn" compared to Carl Mueller.
and though he has shown wonderful i'm
provement from day to day since the first
of the season. a match with the big Alex
andrian would hardly be a fair one. But
IN view OF tho fact that nothing would
be lost by being defeated in q club regat-
Ia race there seems no reason why the
Firginian entry should not be allowed
As far as actual trained down fitness is
concerned Thrat has Il on Mueller ten

week that the crew that wins the Junior

Anglo American Relations Theme at

LONDON. May 2O.-At the time Of the
last imperial conference the Pilgrims
dined the visiting colonial premiers, the
dinner being, SO far as speeches were
concerned, purely British affair. The
Pilgrims are giving the premiers an
other great dinner May %. which will be
significant because the principal speeches
will deal with Anglo-American relations.
Sir Edward Grey. the British foreign
secretary, will be the chief speaker at
the banquet, his topic being Anglo
American Amity." John l.. Grifhths. the
American consul general. Will respond
on behalf of America. 1t is hoped that
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. the Canadian prime
minister will speak for the premiers, and
IL he does he can hardly avoid the topic.
Lord Roberts will preside and Richard b.
Haldane, secretary of war, will toast the
guests.
Sir Edward Grey will speak on the same
topic at the National Liberal Clubs

The forty-five-mile Emerson boat was
again tried out last Wednesday afternoon
The boat lifts fully three-quarters Of her
.ength out of the water when running at
full speed and the roar froms her twelve
exhaust pipes can be likened only to the
steady hum Of a big electric motor. One
great feature of the craft that will I'M
doubtedly prove a valuable asset in racing
is that her outward turning screws cause
her to list in when making a turn,
thereby making it possible to round q
buoy without slowing down. other racers
heretofore having to either throttle down
or capsize.

kANAWHA's BEET CROP.
Farmers in Vicinity Stand to Realize
$4,000 From ACREAGE.

Special to Times Republican.
Kanawha. Oct e.-Should the Iowa
beet sugar factory at Waverly so de-
sire they could secure enough acreage
in this vicinity TO run the entire plant.
This year there is an average of three
hundred and thirty acres and from
this at conservative estimate, the
Iaisers will realize close TO $40, 600. The
yield will be fully twelve tons to the
acre and some of the farmers are
confident they will have fifteen tons
at least. They get s. per ton for the
beets Out of the $50 per acre they
pay SIS for the expert labor done by the
Russians, seed s1.50 and the fertilizer
$50. This gives them a clear profit
Of above $40 per acre. The raisers are
entitled to the pulp by paying the
freight and this has been found to
make excellent food for cattle and hogs.
The harvest of the crop Will commence
in this locality next week and if the
cars can be provided fast enough for
shipment the JOB can he completed in
a bout forty days. The company win
have no trouble in securing from
thousand to fifteen hundred acres for
beet purposes next year II has pleased
mere immensely and it looks as if the
kanaWha district is a very rich depos-
it for beet culture.

fact Galloway paid the concessionaires
all that they had paid for their rights

they sued the members of the state

the state board IS an arm of the state
