Horse Still Has Many Friends.

The largest outdoor horse show in
America is held annually at Devon,
near Philadelphia. The 1916 exhibit
ton. held in June, had larger entries
in every class than in any former year.
The attendance also set new record,
prominent society people travelling
hundreds of miles to the show. 1t is
evident that the horse still holds a
large share of the affection of people
who. while they may own several of
the finest automobiles, yet keep up an
interest in the noblest animal in cFea-

WELLEs, FOWLER
AND NJ DONALD ARE
RESCUED BY A TUG

Three men who know more about
how Wednesdays storm felt than any
body here else now, we're brought
the city early Thursday morning by
the tug VIM. Flanders. They are
Frank Welles, E. W. Fowler and VIM.
Mcdonald. This is the trio who spent
the day and night aboard the smack
Fish Hawk, and whom relief was i'm
possible to reach.
Despite the experience which would
have tried many a strong man, the
three gentlemen named remained on
duty throughout the day, personally
directing the work of repair. Each of
them had some detail to look after,
but all of them found time to &C
knowledge the congratulations offer
ed by friends for their safe return.
None of them had anything to say
about it much. 1--WE are glad to get
back, sure we are" said Mr.. Welles
AT no time, Mr.. Welles said, did they
have any personal fear, but of course
all confessed they would rather have
been here than on the deck of the
smack.
There were several fishermen
members of the smack's crew, also OF
the Fish Hawk, some of them remain
ing on the vessel, which, it is thought
may be easily rescued. The tug
Flanders, with Capt. Ben Rocheblav'
in charge, was the boat which made
the trip to the stranded vessel, tax
ing off the smen. Later trip wa;
made to the vessel, this time food anC
supplies being furnished them.
Although they tried to make little
of their experience, it was plain tina
all of them passed through an ex
perience which they do not want re
peated early.

For the first time in years, follow
ing heavy rains, the city water works
plant did not suffer materially from
the overflow Of water from the hills,
as had been the case in the past. Good
work lately completed at the plant
protects both machinery and stored

ticularly noticeable following the fact
that the water was not touchec by
the overflow from the hills, and such
a condition, it was stated, guarantees
a wholesome and at the same time, a
