Hopes are entertained that Yale will
accept an invitation to take part in
this race. Yale is hesitating because
of the possibility of a Harvard Yale
race on June l.
1t has also been announced definitely
that Princeton will not send a crew to
take part in the Annapolis regatta in
May. Financial considerations, as we'll
as the stipulation of the faculty that
the Tigers shall not go out of town

not entering.

Friday. they covered about sixteen
miles in two practice spins, and dupli-
Gated the performance to-day.

Friiar S Dean Is
Seeking Frisco
Baseball Stock

SAN FRANCISCO, March so.-Jack
Gleason is back in California. After an
absence of eight years from the Colder
Gate, the former San Franciscan is In
Los Angeles. Later Gleason will CONS
to San Francisco to attend t. soma
business affairs. For many years Jack
was prominent in athletic circles ia
this city. He was at one time athlete
leader in the Olympic Club. Later he.
promoted professional boxing contest
including the Britt Cans and the
ketchel-Thomas fights at the ball park
1t was after the fire of 1895 that
Gleason was associated whit ]. Cal
Ewing in the San Francisco ball club.
Then came his hooking up with Tex
Rlckard in promoting the biggest Of all
fights-the Jeffries-J johnson battle.
Jack was reported to have cleaned up
handsomely on the fight, but he didn't
come back to San Francisco. He con,
go without taking steamer.
Ard here are a lot of people who
will * Lad to see Jack when he strikes
the home town; to talk over old times
and ask him a few questions.
Gossip has it that Jack in his breezy
way promised a half interest in the
Jeffries-J ohnson fight TO any number
of his friends. Since there are only
two halves to any proposition, when II
came to cutting the melon lot OF the
boys who were left out felt aggrieved.
1t is likely that Gleason will seek 70

held in the San Francisco CLUB. BE.
cause of an alleged failure to pay al
assessment. the stock reverted 70 thsi

money. He may seek an adjustmsns

GOOD ROADS SPIRIT.

Notwithstanding the defeat at the
recent election. of the road tax there
is undoubtedly better good roads
spirit developing in the county.
People from all parts of the county
coming to Hartford come into con-
tact with good roads when nearing
town, and the object lesson is pro-
ducing a good effect. Seeing is be-
lieving. For a number of miles out
on all the roads leading into Hart
ford the grades have been cut, low
lands levied and bridges put in good
repair. There had to be a beginning
and the beginning was naturally made
on the most travelled roads. Just
recently some moves are being made
away from the county seat that indi-
Gates the temper of the people in the
matter of road betterments. On the
Sulphur Springs road a survey has
been made. beginning five miles north
of town that will eliminate the steep
grades in the neighborhoods of Con-
cord school house. Leaving the
present road bed near Bill Midkiff's
farm. the new survey leads up gradu-
al slopes till II crosses the present
road just south of Concord school
house and then Is carried around the
Carter and Duke hills toward Sui
phur Springs. This change also con-
meets with the Combs bridge across
Rough river and makes a more practi-
cal passway for q number of people
living north of the river, to get to
the county seat. This route also
eliminates all heavy grades between
Hartford and Sunnydale. 1t is ex-
way will provide the right Of way
for a road on to Sulphur Springs that
will have only negligible grades for
the entire route from that point to
Hartford. The farmers are dis
playing a more liberal spirit, and in
stead of demanding unreasonable
compensation for land for new road
beds are consulting their own con-
venience as well as the public benefit,
and are volunteering road beds over
better ground. Our people were
slow awakening to the gospel of good
roads, but they are getting really in
terested and we may look for better
things ahead. Judge Cook and
County attorney Kirk deserve much
credit for their efforts to cultivate
a better road building spirit

FOOT CUT OFF
BY BOATS TOwLINE

A towline catching about the leg of
Martin Vessels, age 33 years. deck
hand on the steamer Bowling Green,
squeezed off his left foot and the foot
dropped into the river.
The accident occurred at the Spotts-
vile locks. The steamer Bowling
Green was unable to get through the
upper chutes because of a barge of
coal in the chutes.
A towline was hitched to the barge
to tow 1t out of the way. When the
Bowling Green backed and the line
became taut, kink in it caught over
Vessels leg.
Before the steamer could be check
ed the line cut through the limb, bone
and all, and the foot dropped into the
river.
Capt. William Workman of the
steamer Bowling Green and other
members of the crew hastily impro-
vised torque and bandages. The
accident occurred at three o'clock in
afternoon, and the Bowling Green
did not reach Evansville until six
O'Clock but, due to improvised
bandages, Vessels had not lost an ex-
traordinary amount of blood.
The injured man was taken to the
Marine hospital in Evansville.

We captured place where they cook

MAY LIFT BAN SOON.

The county health authorities are
hopeful that influenza conditions may
so far improve that the ban may be
lifted over the greater part of the
county the first Monday in December.
Instead of releasing isolated COM
munities the county will be released
with the exception of such communi-
ties as conditions would not at the
time justify. Any action will. of
course, depend upon the develope-
ments but the health authorities are
hopeful of making the arrangement
indicated.
