''as | do to the training necessary to
put men in shape for il. Four miles
is no harder on the men than two if
they have been properly trained for it,
but to prepare a crew for four miles
necessitates putting them through more
mileage under strain and Is thus apt
to overdevelop them.
ALSO, 1t requires much more time
to prepare for the longer contest and
tends to intrude too much on the regu-

anything, it overemphasizes the bust

FAMOUS RESORT is OPENED
Special to The Telegraph

Marietta, Pa, May 29.-The twelfth
annual opening of the Wild Cat Falls
Association was held to-day at the
clubhouse of the association along the
banks of the picturesque Susquehanna
river opposite Marietta. 1t was the
most successful affair ever held by the
club. This morning at O'Clock a
catfish breakfast was served to many
of the guests who had arrived last
evening at Winners Cross Keys Hotel,
and few toasts responded to. AS the
men gathered for the parade, which
started shortly after 9 o'clock, United
States Senator Bois Penrose, who is
the guest of ex-Congressman Cassel,
was called upon for few remarks
and heresponded amid the cheers OF
the crowd. Here fancy Japanese par
asols were given the men, and, headed
by the Stars and Stripes and the Sam
uel Loucks Famous wild Cat Band,
they paraded the main street to the
square and, countermarching, took the
steamboats, at the foot of Walnut
street for the resort. The band ac-
companies the men and in addition
to the famous colored quartet of
Pittsburgh, there was not minute of
the day that there was no music.
At l o'clock a planked shad dinner,
with all the accessories of the season,
was served by the proprietor of the
inn, Norman T. Pickle. At each plate
was laid in a neat box scarf pin,
beautifully engraved with a wildcat,
and inscribed as a memento of the
day. This was the formal opening
of the resort, and tomorrow there will
be dancing all day, with music by an
orchestra.
Many toasts were responded too, and
it was certainly an enjoyable day for
the gathering. About o'clock in the
afternoon many who were from dis
tant points began to leave. Among
the places represented were Harris
burg, Philadelphia, Scranton, Lancas-
ter, Columbia, Mountville, Mount JOY,
York, Williamsport, Boston, st. Louis,
Chicago, Middletown, Highspire, May

Barn Torn to Pieces and Early
Fruits and Vegetables
, Destroyed

Bain, Pa. May ga terrific hail
ad thunderstorm visited this section
last evening, destroying the crops in
many localities. Early fruit and gar
den vegetables were literally cut TO
pieces. The heavy downpour of rain
washed the newly-planted fields. So
severe was the storm in the locality of
Center, several miles east of this place,
that building were unroofed and
blown down. The barn of Jacob 10y
at Center, on the farm tenanted by
Mapleton Shoop, was shattered and
torn to pieces, scattering the timbers
in all directions. Burchfield's barn
roof was torn off. Trees in this locality
were uprooted, broken down and
snapped off like pipe stems. In sec
tionas where the hail fell the thickest
the ground is lying full of cherries un-
der the trees.
