SPLIT REGATTA HONORS.
American and Canadian Oarsmen
Have Great Struggle at Boston.

BOSTON. August o. American and
Canadian oarsmen divided honors in the
first day of the forty-first annual regatta
of the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen, held in the Charles river basin
yesterday.
Chief interest centered in the two trial
heats of the association senior singles. r.
Dibble, the sensational oarsman from the
Dun Rowing Club of Toronto, and J. B..
Kelley, from the Vesper Boat Club of
Philadelphia each won his heat in easy
fashion. Dbble's time was faster than
that of his American rival, and he Is
generally considered the favorite for to-
morrow's final. The winner OF this event
will be entitled to compete later In the
day in the championship singles Which
carries with il the amateur champion
ship of the country.
Dibble, besides winning his heat In the
association singles. also won the quarter
mile championship.
Argonauts and the Duluth Boat Club
shared the honors. The Argonauts won
the International four -oared race from
the Vespers OF Philadelphia by COM
Portable margin.
The Duluth intermediate eight, rowing
easily all the time. beat out field OF
seven starters. and then surprised the
spectators by continuing on to the boat
house without stopping for a rest.
The closest finish of the day came In
the senior quadruple SOULS, In which
Riverside of Boston beat out Union, also
OF Boston by six feet. The New York
Athletic Clubs quadruple. winner al
Peoria, H., last year, was third.
New York failed TO win hrst race

TYPE Of GUNS
TO TRAIN ON A|RSH|PS
War Department Not Disposed
to Develop a Special
Equipment.

Instead OF developing a special gun for
a defense against aeroplanes the army
ordnance department has decided to
modify its types Of field guns and car
riages 90 that all Of the guns in the fu-
ture will be able to attack aercplanes.
Preliminary work in that direction has
been done in experiments with the Deport
gun, which has a split trail and recoil
system especially adapted to firing at a
high angle.
For more than a year the officers of
the ordnance department OF the army
have been experimenting with the Deport
gun and believe they will be able to de-
velope a new type superior to the French
gun and one which will solve the prob
lens connected with firing at aeroplanes.
Fire at Angle Of As Degrees.
Experiments have progressed to that
point at which firing has been done al
an angle of forty-five degrees. 1t is
claimed that the new type of field artil-
lery gun can be fired successfully at a
ninety degree angle. That is possibly
through the split trail and modification
Of the recoil system 1t Will be necessary
to make some changes In the regulation
gun as well as in the carriage Of field ar.
tillery.
The new gun, in addition to increasing
the angle at which field artillery can bt
fred. will give greater range horizontally
Without moving the carriage the gun car
with the present trail That is due to the
fact that split trail will act as q sor'
of brace for the gun on a wider angle
than the present trail.

S0UTH'S COLLEGES ADVANCE.
Miss Elizabeth Coulton Attribute,
Improvement to Philanthropy.

Southern colleges since.1900 have made
remarkable advancement not only in en-
trance requirements. but in libraries,
laboratories, buildings and equipment. ac-
cord1ng to a statement OF the bureau of
education issued today, Miss Elizabeth
Avery Coulton. secretary of the Southern
Association of College Women, who re-
ported on conditions. declared that in
1900 only three so6thern colleges had
standard requirements for entrance while
this year 100 institutions had adopted
such standards.
Miss Coulton attributes the improve
ment to the fact that various philanthro-
pic organizations co-operated to better
the educational system in the south. With
the betterment in entrance requirement,
she declared, has come a decided in
crease also in the amount of college
work represented by the degree, while
In the personnel Of the faculty a marked
Improvement is shown.
