The Poughkeepsie regatta bears in its

spect to any sporting event in the
country In the sense of establishing
a national championship it has not.
with very few exceptions in the last
two decades, been important.
On the other hand the Poughkeepsie
race has almost always been entreme-
" significant as sporting event. In
other ways it is a great, big roaring
free-for-all, in which the pure inter
collegiate spirit struggles for SUI
premacy in an environment of up and
coming boards of trade, gamblers, raw
and rough pennant peddlers, always to

PIONEER EDITOR IS
CALLED BY DEATH

John E. Henry of Montevideo died
Tuesday, March 22nd, from the eff
fects of ulcers of the stomach, from
which he had been an acute sufferer
for some time past. E. S. and War
ner C. Henry, printers in the employ
of the Free Press Company Of Man.
kato, are sons of the deceased. These
two sons and their wives left Mankato
by auto last Monday in time to reach
their fathers bedside before death.
Mr.. Henry had been a resident of
Montevideo for the past thirty-six
years. For twenty-one years of that
period, Mr.. Henry was actively en-
gagged in newspaper work. 1t was
during the year 1883 that Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry went to St. Paul from
Midland, Mich, where they remained
a short time and then went to Monte
video.
Foreman of the Montevideo Leader
and a partner for seven years, Mr..
Henry established the Montevideo Ad-
vance in 1896. In 1917 when his pa
per was bought by The News he con-
cluded twenty-one years of work as
publisher and editor.
The story Of an old-time printer
is the life history of Mr.. Henry.
When less than ten years of age, he
started work in a Kenosha, Wis,
printshop, his work as he recalls it,
being Ito carry wood and water up
three flights of stairs and to carry the
papers around to the subscribers, for
which was received the sum of 81 per
week." He was engaged in the print
ing trade before the days of modern
machines, and recalls also printing
calling cards on a small hand press
and cutting the cards with pair of
shears.-Mankato Free Press,
