HENLEY REGATTA OPENS
IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
The Elite of British and European
Aristocracy Are There-scene Is a
Riot of Noise and Color.

Henley on-Thames, Eng, July l.
Henley Regatta, England's greatest
water carnival, opened today in a blaze
of glory, in the presence of the elite
of British and European aristocracy
and sporting society. Thousands of
craft, ranging from magnificent house.
boats to punts and outriggers, lined up
by the banks, the leading members Of
the Court were rowed over the course
in the famous state barge, propelled by
twelve of the royal watermen, gorgeous
in scarlet and gold. In view of recent
suffragette activities extraordinary pre-
cautions were taken by the land and
river police, to prevent interference
with the program, and the boats of the
various competitors will be under strong
guard during the four days racing.
This years entries created a record
for foreign competitors, and for the
first time since 1905 the United States
was represented by two eights and
three single scullers. The American
eights, which are competing for the
Grand Challenge Cup which practically
carries with it the championship of the
world for this class of event, are Har-
ward University and the Union Boat
Club Of Boston, Mass. Other foreign
entries for the "Grand' are Winnipeg
Rowing Club, Winnipeg, Canada, and
the Manner Ruder Veroin, of Mayence,
Germany. The Royal Club Nautique of
Ghent, Belgium has entered an eight
for the Thames Challenge Cup.
For the Stewards Cup, (fours) the
Manner Ruder Verein, of Mayence,
Germany and the Grasshopper club, of
Zurich, Switzerland, compete while in
the Diamond Sculls, virtually the
worlds amateur championship for sin
gle scullers. American is represented
by James B. Aver, William Tudor
Gardiner, and Paul Wilmington, all of
the Union Boat Club, Boston, Mass;
Canada by Robert Dibble, Don Rowing
Club, Toronto, Canada; and Italy by
Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Lario Club, Como.
So seriously has this foreign invasion
been taken by British rowing men that
the Leander Club England's s leading
aquatic organization, has strained every
nerve to put the best possible eight in
the competition for the grand challenge.
There will be the usual strong College
eiehts from Oxford and Cambridge, but
when Leander puts itself to the trouble
it always manages to get a real Eng
land eight. Leander always gets into
the final and the crew which will do
duty this year is: D. L. Day, S. E.
Swan, C. L. v Buxton, f. D. HOrsfall,
C. S, Clark, A. F. R. Virgins, F. F.
Scrutton and r. C. Bourne.
The best of the British champions for
the "Diamonds are: A. McCulloch,
Z. G. Williams, S. +. Swami, f. D..
Pinks and +. l.. Watts. The finals will
be rowed Friday and Saturday. Only
twice have American oarsmen carried
away the Henley trophies: in 1872 when
Columbia University won the Visitors
Cup (fours) and in 1897 when f. II.
Ton Eyck, Wachusett, Mass, won the
Diamonds.

COMMITTEE REDUCES
The FIRE EQUIPMENT
Put Big Steamer In the Dry Dock and
Weaken Fire Fighting Force at Most
Dangerous Season.

just at the time of year when fully
equipped fire department is most
needed the city council has decided to
dispense with one of the most important
machines, the big La France steamer,
and the two horses. This morning En-
gineer Blake Beck and driver Buck
Hutton We're let out and the department
now has only the two auto fire fight
ing appartuses. Even the hose wagons
will be without horses hereafter.
This change was made by the council
in the hopes of reducing the city S ex-
pcnses materially. The action is being
criticised to some extent this morning.
Ii is said that in the event two con
flagrations at the same time in differ
ent sections of the city, the department
will be practically helpless in view of
the fact that the chemical engine is not
meant to cope with large fires and the
auto pumper can not be in two places
at once, There are still many places
in the city where hydrants have not
been installed and the result is that
without the aid of pumper, these un-
protected locations will be at the mercy
of the flames.
June, July and August are the fire
months in Salem and before the season
ends, it is predicted that every ma
chine belonging to the city will be
necessary to fight fires,

SAYS JOHNSON-MORAN

that the match was fixed. johnson is
too proud of the championship to be
beaten if he can possibly avoid it.

while there were all sorts of stories
