 Divided Henors Thursday.
 Harvard and Yale shared the honors n two preliminaries Thursday evening. The undergra duates of Yale, substitutes of varsity and freshmen crews who formed a combination eight, left sinni- lar Harvard combination half a length behind in two-nnle race. The winners time was 12 minutes, the losers 1902.
 Graduates of Harvard proved better than those of Yale. Heavier men and untrained, they roved only half a mile and took no time, but the result was decisive. Harvard won by length and quarter and gained the Herrick cup.
 Yale Wins Toss.
 With their attention now on the Fri day events, Yale's enthusiasts were con- hdent of success Thursday night with the blue varsity eight that was the for lorn hope of 8 month ago. Captain Steve Hord called the toss for choice of course. As result Yale will have the course along the east bank in all races today.
 Harvard men were no less confident. Captain McCagg said that if he had won 1 the toss he probably would have taken | the west course anyway.

"cross of the Maid-

On the occasion of the recent Jeanne d'Arc festivals, the syndicate of Saint Germain-en-Laye had a. marble tablet fixed to the -Croix Pucelle' (Cross of the Maid) to explain the origin of this little monument, buried in the depths of the forest near the town.
 Before the present highway from St. Germain-en-Laye to Poissy and Meulan was built, the road, now abandoned. passed the Croix PuceIle. This cross" says its historian, Louis Catelsin, lis of sandstone. rude Gothic in style rough ly quarried and rugged in aspect" It bears the Maltese cross, symbol Of chss- tity, and above, in modern characters the words "Croix Pucelle, 145s." Thrown down during the revolution, 1t was raised again in 1901, at the time of the Con- cerdat, and the stonecutter carved the Gothic inscription on it in his own way, a clumsy piece of work.
 The date 1456 is the year in which the Pope at Rome reinstated the heroine, who had been burned as a witch. With out doubt. it was to commemorate the act that the Maids Cross was erected on this old roadside by Dunois. He was among the first to believe in Jeanne's mission. It was he who received her upon her arrival at Orleans. took her to his headquarters, found lodging for her at the house of his paymaster, Jacques Boucher, fought on her side in all her

 The Marcus Show of 1920, featuring the Hebrew comedian, Mike Sacks and the Marcus chorus, opened Thursday at the Dayis theatre for three days, playing to fair sized house. The revue has in corporsted in it many novelties, both in musical and scenic effects. The setting of the eighteen scenes are far beyond anything tat has played here at the popular prices The costumes are els- borste and woNli do credit to many higher priced performance.
 The cast and chorus are good and the musical numbers are catchy, being put across with a captivating snap. The principals possess very good voices and the dancing numbers are exceptionally we'll executed. Worthy of particular mention is the opening scene of the sec ond ac1 The Birth of Venus the scene is beautiful and the lighting effects are good. Another pretty scene is that of Waikiki Beach and the closing scene is one that pleases.
 For comedy honors Charles Abhate in his Simple Simon role brought down the house it not being so much what he said but his facial concessions or rather lack of expression. Mike Sacks as always Is 8 shining light and is sure fire cone dian. The feminine leads were ably taken hv Miss W'nsome, Miss Kingsley. Mile. Loletta Mile. Marion, and Miss VeepH.
