presented three strong one-act play
let's. The first was tragedy, being
a symposium from Shakespeare
"Othello;" the second s'The Governors
Lady" was = comedy, and the third
q melodrama entitled "The Gun Fight
er." The combined bill gave Mr..
Dodge and company an opportunity

SUNDAY AFTERNOON BLAZE

The Sank Centre Fire Department
was called out twice Sunday. Short.
" before noon there was smoke il
abundance in the building occupied
by Mrs. Cawley as 4 millinery store.
One If the hi1e stops had been blown
out upstairs while the lady WAS
sblowing out the chimney, and it was
thoGSht that tais..was what caused
the smoke, as Chief Fish and his men
were unable to discover any FIRE.
About 2.45 they were again called to
the same building and fire was dis
covered close toathe chimney. The
flames were extineuished with NOM
inal damage to the building but the
millinery stock is badly damaged by
smoke and water. It can be safely
said that the cause Of the fire was a
directive fue.

Cambridge, Mass, May 26.-The
oarsmen Of Cornell rowing their sec
ond intercollegiate race in four days,
swept the Charles river tonight in the
annual regatta with the Harvard
crews.
The Cornell Varsity led Harvard
over the line by slightly more than
one length, the Freshmen ended their
race with an advantage over the Har-
ward youngsters Of about two lengths.
The official times for the races which
course were:
Varsity, Cornell, minutes, 3S 3-5
seconds; Harvard, 8 minutes, AZ So
seconds; Freshmen, Cornell, 9 minutes.
Sc seconds; Harvard, 10 minutes, /
second.
The Cornell men finished the Var
sity contest a tired lot, but able to
sit up and cheer. The Harvard men
seemed still more fatigued, several
were exhausted and one, Charles e.
Schall of New London, CT, collapsed
and had to be carried away in an au
tomobile Capt Reynolds of Harvard
was forced TO lie on the floor of the
launch during the return up river.
The waters of the Charles river ba-
sin were kicked up into white tops by
a fresh wind and the crews were
greatly handicapped. These conditions
prevailed all day and were RESPONSE
BILE for postponements which carried
the race along to dusk for decision,
from mid afternoon.
AS in other races with Cornell, the
Harvard Varsity caught the water
first, worked into a speedy stroke, and
got away to an early lead, rowing 40
strokes to the minute. The Cornell
stroke oar set for his crew a long
stroke that apparently had greater
power behind it, for with one-third
the course covered, Cornell had push
ed into slight lead. Harvard strug-
gled to close the gap and It's move
ment became ragged as a result. But
the roughness soon worked oft, the
Crimson steadied into a faster Stroke

Start of Difficulties

This ends a bitter war which has
been going on for the past three years
between the rival lines, the old Knick-
erbocker and the new Kennebec.
The chief difficulty arose when the
main offices of the Knickerbocker,
which had always been in this city,
were moved to Gardiner. Local ship
ping men commenced to find fault
and during the unsatisfactory results
that followed Capt. Small appeared
upon the river with the tug Ariel. He
made a successful bid for business
and followed 1t up the next year by
putting on the river the tug Sarah J.
Weed and then added the well-known
Farnsworth.
The once powerful feet of the old
Knickerbocker had been reduced in
the meantime to three. the Seguin.
the Delta and the Perry. Now the
control of these three has passed in
to the hands of Capt Small, who also
purchased the Knickerbocker's real
estate, which includes property at
Randolph and at Cox's Head, near the
mouth of the Kennebec river.
The Morse Connection
This marks a most important change
in the towing business on the Ken
nebec river For years the Morses of
this city made their regulations in
the towing world on the old tugs of
the Knickerbocker fleet and some of
them in their day were the largest and
finest in the country. The ancestors
of Charles w. Morse, the New York
banker. were pioneers in the develop
ment of the towboat business on the
Kennebec for in the palmy old days
of ice shipments from the upper Ken
nebec they kept their large fleet of
tugs busy throughout the summer sea-
son.
From their lookout at Cox's Head
they spied the vessels bound for the
kennebecc and sending their big tugs
outside to get them would bring them
into the river as far as Parker flats,
where they would in many instances
be turned over to smaller river tugs
and then brought up the river to load
cargoes. It was a powerful monopoly
which the Knickerbocker controlled
and made ii almost impossible for the
little fellow to compete against the
big fellows.
But with the advance of time, the
slump in ice shipments and the re-
moval of the company's offices from
this city. dissatisfaction arose and
then started the competition. The new
conner has won out. The Kennebec
Towboat Co., now has six boats at its
command. although they will not all
be in commission at once. The change
brings about a new condition of af
fairs for 1t means that the main Of
fees of the company will be in this
city and the Gardiner office will be
closed. A new monopoly has been ere
ated and its future will be watched
with great interest by shipping inter-
ests along the Kennebec river, from
Augusta to the sea.
