One crew wore dark striped jerseys

necktie. The race was rowed in slow
heavy boats, built with high sides, and
square oars propelled the crews along
No enthusiastic crowds lined the
banks of the river all along the course

suit Of the race. sold in hundreds of
thousands all over the country when
the race was over Yet this was the
beginning of the most popular racing
event in the rowing world-the Oxford
and Cambridge boat race.
The boats used by the Fights in those
days were clumsy and uncomfortable.
Sliding seats were unknown, and the
craft were weighed down with heavy
metal keels. Outriggers-the extended
parts of a boats gunwale, that give
greater leverage-were also unheard
of. for it was not until 1916 that they
were introduced by the university
crews In 1857 keelless boats were
adopted, and sliding seats were used
in them in 1878.
Oxford did not adopt the dark blue

America Responsible for Chinese
Revolution

That every citizen Of the United
States must take some of the RESPONSE
bility for the establishment of the
Republic in China, was the novel view
expressed by Bishop j. Bashford of
China, in delivering the baccalaureate
address before the members of the
graduating class of the University of
Wisconsin. Bishop Bashford spoke ON

You Americans who must have been
startled at the appearance of the
Chinese Republic; You Americans who
Americans who never set foot in China
or taught Chinese boy in America
even you cannot escape some RESPONSE

have poured out money for schools and
churches and hospitals, and have
nourished the famine victims until Won
have compelled the Chinese to love the
very name of America above the name
of every other land ON earth, YOU
have built up such homes and schools
and churches rs have made the young
Chinese entering them aud sharing
their blessings return to China teufold
more American than you are your
selves.
The University of Wisconsin es
pecially must assume n large respun
sibility for the upheavel because of tn,
number and the ability of the Chinese
young men whom You have trained and
sent back. You have contributed
nightly TO the upheaval simply by
building up and maintaining demo
cratic and Christian America, aut
demonstrating to the world for one
hundred years that the human race
best flourishes under the reign of free
dem and of law.
"Since the outbreak of the revolution
the name of Washington has becom,
the most popular foreign name through
out China" continued Bishop Bash
ford. In the city of Foochow last

province instructing and inspiring M

POVERTY DINNERS.
Cheap Meals That Are Served In Some
Berlin Restaurants.

Berlin restaurants.
There are many interesting facts re-
garding cheap food in various portions
of the earth Berlin is said to lead the
civilized world in the way of cheap
restaurants. There are many places
where you may secure meal of horse
flesh, bread and coffee for % pfennig
which is about cents. In the poorer
parts of the city there are many little
restaurants where you can buy meal
for II pfennig, which would be about 8
cents.
In some Of these cheap restaurants
there is long table, and no chairs are
to be seen, but there are long benches
Tin spoons are chained to the table,
soup plates are sunk into the table, and
the one who wants to eat meal comes
in and sits down in front of one of
these plates and lays his 3 cents beside
it, Usually woman is in the kitchen,
and in many Of these places the kitchen
is a part of the restaurant itself. AS
soon as you have laid your money on
the table she trots forward with a
steaming hot kettle Of thick soup. al
though thin soup is sometimes served
She fills your soup plate with this hot
soup and lays thick slice of black
bread beside the plate, and your dinner
Is complete.
This is certainly cheap meal There
are many places in all our large cities
where a dime will provide quite gen
erouS dinner, sometimes pot roast ana

A Big Scoop.

Greenville Piedmont, 10th.
For a spirit of enterprise we COM
mend you to the highly esteemed New
berry Herald and News, published at
Newberry. That paper reached
Greenville yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock and contained the message of
Governor BleasSe to the legislature in
full, ornamented with handsome two
column cut of the governor. The copies
of the paper arriving in this city must
have left Newberry about II o'clock
yesterday morning and must have
been printed several hours ahead Of
that time. The message was not sent
to the legislature until - o'clock noon
yesterday. So that the subscribers of
The Herald and News had the priv
ilege of reading the message before
the legislators to whom it was ad-
dressed, did. And the Daily Piedmont,
Spartanburg Journal, Anderson Mail
and other afternoon papers couldn't
get it at all yesterday. What a scoop
for Newberry
