Washington, April 1.-the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson sent out an an
nouncement from the White House
Saturday. giving the day for the mar
riage of their youngest daughter, MISS
Eleanor Randolph Wilson to William
Gibbs McAdoo, as Thursday, May Z.
1t is believed that the Mayfiower
will be used for the honeymoon. That
craft would be exceedingly appropri-
ate. for it is now referred to as Gu
pid's boat because it has so often
played important parts in love affairs.
1t was on the Mayflower that the last
brilliant entertainments were given Tor
Miss Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas
Longworth before their marriage. 1t
served the same purpose for Francis
Bowes Sayre and Miss Jessie Wilson.
Will Be Few Guests
The White House announcement to-
day saws that only the Vice President
and Mrs. Marshall, members of the
Cabinet and their wives, and the fam
lilies of the bride and bridegroom
would be present. The latter arrange
ment accords. with the wishes of both
the secretary of the treasury and Miss
Wilson.
No hour for the ceremony was Civ
en-, nor were there further details of
the event for which the outside world
has waited since the announcement of
the engagement on Friday, March 10.
1t is presumed, however, Mrs. Francis
Bowes, Sayre, formerly Miss Jessie
Wilson, will attend the bride.
Following the wedding, announce
ment cards, which are now being adj
dressed, will be sent to the official and
social world, to the relatives and
friends outside of Washington and to
the diplomats.

New York. April 19.-The present week
will usher in the 1914 season of amateur
athletics with events of unusual impor-
lance Today will witness the running
of the famous annual Boston A. A
marathon race and on Saturday the week
will close with the yearly relay carnival
of the University of Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia, which assumes an interna-
tional aspect due to the presence of the
oxford University four-mile relay team
representing England in the premier
event of the days program, These
games always attract large gathering
of athletic enthusiasts to Franklin Field,
but the presence and personnel of the
oxford team is such that the meet is OF
extraordinary interest this season.
In this race. which is for the four
mile college relay championship OF
America, 10 colleges and universities
have entered teams to run against Ok

ners, each of whom will run one mile
Both east and west is represented since

go, Pennsylvania. Princeton, Colgate,

field is, however. oxford is the logical
favorite, since by means of the Rhodes
scholarship system and unusual circum-
stances the English university has a
team Of remarkable mile runners gar
nered from several parts of the world.
The oxford team which consists of Ar
mold N S. jackson, winner of the 1900
meter race at the Olympic games at
Stockholm in 1912; Norman s. Tabor
Rhodes scholar from Brown University
Providence, U. S. A.; G. NJ. Sproule,
Rhodes scholar from Australia; D. n.
Gaussen and G. S. Robinson. both young
English athletes of note. is combina-
ton of unusual merit. Every runner
on the team including Robinson. who is
substitute, has record better than Am
30s for the mile. The latest test of the
form and ability of these runners was in
the dual games between Oxford and
Cambridge at the Queens Club in London
on March 81. This meet was held on track
and field heavy with the rain of a storm
which continued for several days pre-
vious TO and during the games. Notwith-
standing this handicap the oxford run
ners showed remarkable form In the long
runs.
Jackson won the mile run in hollow
fashion in Am, % LOS without being
pushed at any point in the race. Robin
son set the pace during the early laps
but dropped out on the back stretch af-
ter he saw that Jackson was sure
winner. Sprouie won the three mile race,
with Gaussen second, five yards in the
rear, In lam "a AIS, a new record for
these games. The first mile was run in
Am Ais. with jackson and Gaussen trail
ing the field. The only disappointment
was Taber's failure to win the one-half
mile race. The American was selected
for this event because Jackson and
Sproule were considered sure winners in
the one and three mile races respec-
lively. Taber was defeated by II yards
by Atkinson of Cambridge in I'm Sc 2-5s.
Taber and the winner had a neck and
neck race for almost the entire distance
and the result was in doubt until the
American cracked near the finish while

Worcester, April 19.-Three men
were drowned and five others rescued
at the point of exhaustion early Sat
urday evening when the engine OF
large motor boat worked loose, kick
ed a hole in the bottom of the craft
and sank it in the deepest part OF
Lake Quinsigamond.
Eleven year old Ina Jourbert, who
witnessed the tragedy from the shore,
gave the alarm, and herself rowed one
of the three boats with which the
struggling men We're rescued.
Five Are Rescued
The men who persisted were Dean

Lured by the springiike weather, the
eight men went to the lake shortly be-
fore darkness fell this evening to have
q sail in Derricks boat. Although the
boat had been laid up through the
winter and had not been everhauled.
they put it in the water, and, filing
the tank with gasoline. started up the

When Engine Goes Through aunch

tempted to remedy the trouble, but
Just as the craft reached spot where
the water is said to be lie feet deep
there was crash and the engine dis
appeared through the bottom OF the
boat. leaving a gaping hole through
which the water surged.
For a few moments the men chung to
the rapidly filing craft. shouting wildly
for help At length the boat slipped from
their grasp and sank below the surface.
Roundy, Leary and James Fuller, who
were unable TO swim. went down a short
time later. despite the efforts made by
their companions to save them.
Eleven-year-ol Ina Joubert. daughter
of Mr. and Mrs Joubert of Shrewsbury,
was playing on the shore and heard the
cries of the men.
The little girl looked out on the lake,
and seeing the men in the water, ran to
her home. which is but q short distance
away, and informed her parents OF what
had happened. While Mrs. Joubert was
telephoning to the police. her husband,
his brother. Charles f. Joubert, a neigh
Dor who happened to be present and Ina
all hurried to the lake. where Charles
Joubert had three boats tied up.
Ina jumped into one and took the oars,
and, with her father as passenger,
pulled out into the lake close behind the
other boats. which were manned by her
uncle and the neighbor.
The victims of the accident had started
for the shore, the better swimmers sup
porting the others. but had made little
progress. When the rescue fleet arrived
the men were gasping for breath and
barely able to keep above the surface.
They were taken into the three boats and
hurried to shore. where the police had
arrived with ambulances and physicians,
who ordered their removal TO the hos
pital.
