Governors Cup, Put
Over By Heavy Rain,
Attracts Six Teams
Riders From Andes
Out To Capture
Fuentes Bowl
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEML

ny C0AAGNN DONN " 1NGAAN
Surging back today in an effort
to redeem the reverse that placed
them third yesterday in the COM
petition for the Herald-Times
trophy that featured the opening
day Of the Inter-American Horse
Show at Meadowbrook Saddle
Club, the riders of the Chilean
army horse-show team will COM
pete for the Chilean Cup today.
Donated by Chief General Oscar
Novar FuenteS, of the Chilean
army, this cup is one of the two
outstanding trophies offered in
competition today. The Cover
nor's Cup, presented by lovers OF
horses in Maryland, District of Co
lumbia, and Virginia, was on
yesterdays program, but the storm
that broke over Washington and
the surrounding territory, causing
the abandonment of the competi-
tons, forced it over until today.
The Governors Cup has at
tracted six teams of four horses
each. Three of the entries are
from Virginia, one from Maryland,
one from District of Columbia, and
one from New York. Competition
will be over jumps not to exceed
four feet in height, and the scores
Of three Of the four horses will
count.
SMASHING TEAM
The U. S. Randle Stable will be
represented by a smashing team
including Sport Marvel, Randle'S
way, So Long and Rocking Moon.
The Morris S. Clark Stable is rep
rested by Whoopee, Royal York,
Gay Cockade and Hobo. Donal
Sutherland Sd, of New York, will
have a fine quartet in the ring,
with Night Life, Racket, High
Tide and swing Easy. A purse
of $3.50 goes to the winning team,
with $125 to the second team, SIS
to the third team and $50 to the
fourth team.
Just three-quarters of a point
separated the United States team
from the Chilean riders in the
Herald Times Trophy match, and
it must be remembered that Chill
ena is horS du combat. With that
spanking veteran of the courses in
action, the men from the Andes
might have made still finer
showing.

Toqui, ridden by Major Edu .rdo

formance as the sensational Dinger
gave yesterday, and from a strictly
partisan standpoint, it is just as
well that the keen eyed judges
were able to detect fault in its
performance. A clean score Tor

be tied with the Yankees.
Jaracho, ridden by Lieut.. Joquim

Not only did the storm cause

competition for the Governors
Cup, but it also forced the post

BY order of Arthur Maui, mana
ger of the show, the preliminary
trials of horses drawn by lot in
the fault and out class began at 10
o'clock this morning. This was

 RATED FINE
 CONSTRUCTION

Rated as an exceptionally fine piece of work, the bulk head built by CCC workers, J L. Dolan. fore man. to protect the Indian graves outside Redmen Cemetery will be completed within a few days. md further work by the crew postponed until fall.
 The bulk head is 665 feet in length and is built of log facing with a back fill of rock six to eight feet wide, and gravel surfaeing.
 The fill is above the 19-foot tide mark and sunk four feet into the ground. The plans and specifications were drawn by J. NJ. Wyekoff, forest ranger for Wrangell and Petersburg.
 Construction of the bulkhead was imperative. Due to removal of the gravel from the beach, the tides were washing against Indian graves. Blame for the gravel removal was shared by the city and Custard. Meadows. Oja & Co.,, contractors, and in the project. the city furnish ed a truck the contractors all the logs for the bulkhead while a CCC crew did the construction work.

Women S Club Begins
 18th Year Existence

While most womens clubs re- cess for the summer months, the Wrangell Women's Civic Club meets as usual The club began its twenty-sixth year of existence and helpful activities for the commun- ity last Saturday.
 The usual sandwich luncheon at one o'clock opened the meeting with seventeen members present. Mrs. Bjorge and Mrs. Barnes were the dessert hostesses and had cen tered the long table with violas and white lilacs. Bowls of other flowers were placed around the room.
 With committee appointments still pending, the president had arr ranged the short prosrdm consist ing of piano music by Miss Doris anne Barnes, and this was follow ed by roll call and activity sug- gestions and discussions.
 A membership drive and a club cook book were suggested and af- ter a discussion, Mrs. Osterman and Mrs. Garry were appointed to report on the latter project, while the membership committee will be appointed when other committees are named.
 With Fourth of July only a few weeks away, it was decided to limit the clubs part in the days cele- bration to a fish pond and a hot dog stand. The proceeds will be used to further the clubs civic work.
 Resumption of the sponsorship of the park was approved and for the third consecutive year, the club will pay a custodian for five months police duty Picnickers are still reported as careless about leaving trash around the grounds, although containers have been placed there by the Forestry department, and broken bottles constantly present a menace to small children, especially.
 Several new members having been received during the last months, roll call topics will be distributed to all who have none or desire new ones before the next meeting at which time the 1938-39 commit tees will be named. The July host esses will be Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Brodhead with Mrs. Smith as pro- gram chairman.

Juneau Men Rescued
 By Institute Teachers

The Blue Bell, Wrangen Instf- ute boat on which Director George T. Barrett, and staff members Marie Alexander, Ruth Gauger and Byrdie MeNeil, and Arnold Krone, in charge of services at St. Philips Episcopal church, left last week. with Walter Rudolph, captain, on a three-weeks' tour of Indian villages, where the majority of Institute students live, rescued two Juneau men last Friday near Taku Glacier
 The men, Malcolm Morrison and Ed Sweum. were heading for fishing trip to Moose Creek. Sweum was asleep when Morrison reached for a can of gasoline and a spare outboard motor in the bottom of the speed boat rolled over, shifting it's weight so suddenly that the boat capsized. in the icy waters of gla- cier fed Taku Inlet Sweum was shocked into insensibility when thrown into the water, and Morri- son. a much smaller man, performed heroic rescue by swimming fully clothed and with hip boocs, 75 yards to shore towing the unconscious Sweum by his hair.
 At first Morrison grabbed his companion by the shirt and tried to reach shore by hanging onto the boat with one hand and kicking. His hand became numb and he saw the boat was drifting out. so ne abandoned it and took hold of Sweum's hair and started for shore, which he reached after a desperate struggle.
 sweum was reused into con- sciOusness, but a fire was hopeless, as their matches were soggy. The accident occurred at a. m. and the men were on the cold wind-swept beach until D. m. when they were picked up by the Blue Bell, making the Taku Glacier side trip on it's way to Juneau.
 Noticing the two figures on the beach waving, the Wrangell party waved back, then noticing the in sistence of the shouts, put back and after taking the men aboard man aged to rescue nearly everything lost in the capsizing. The speed boat was found 15 miles away with both engines still tied to the safety lines and miscellaneous equipment was found over a wide area, inelud- ing one rubber boot that Morrison kicked off in his swim for shore.

Bishop Peter T. Rowe, head of the Episcopal Church in Alaska, IS 82 years old, but still climbs into a crowded coupe with all the agility of a high school youth, states the Juneau Empire.
 The Bishop is to take plane pas sage tomorrow for Whitehorse, aboard one of the trim metal giants of the PAA. At Whitehorse, the Bishop will board a down-river boat on the Yukon to go to Fort Yukon where he will ordain Deacon Dr. Grafton Burke as priest.
 Airplane and commodious river steamer will be the Bishops means of travel, but when he went into the Interior in 1898, it was a different story. The tale of his visit to Circle City and his holding of services in a saloon is an old story but worthy of repetition.
 Outfitted in Juneau
 In Juneau, Bishop Rowe outfitted for the trail in early March, 1896. He went by boat to where the city of Skagway later was founded, and then back-packed over the Dyea Trail where only an occasional h. dian walked.
 At Tagish, the young missionary whipsawed lumber and built him. self boat with which he began the long journey down the river. The first habitation he saw was Fort Selkirk, 300 miles down the Yukon. From there he went on to Fortymile (there was no Dawson then) and so on down to Circle City, the largest camp in Alaska at the time.
 At Circle City, where the Bishop arrived in the middle of summer, there was all the rush and din of a booming camp. Only a short time before, a gold nugget had been found in stream by a travelling Canadian missionary.

Wrangell, June 16, 1888


 June 16, 1888 Editor Sentinel
 In last weeks Sentinel I note that the city council has appointed a permanent committee for the Beyier Playfield Fund. It sure will please a lot of our townspeople to hear at this late date that it is ad- mitted there is a Bevier Playfield fund
 Ii my recollection is right there was $600O left for that purpose but it was mostly all used in purchasing a 75-foot strip of land adjoining the former public school and a shed for children to play under.
 But in late years the old school building was made into the city's administration building. The play shed was sold at public auction which brought only a paltry sum of three hundred dollars or so.
 Now what is to become of that little piece of ground that cost about $2500. Will it be sold at public auction the same as the shed or will it be exchanged for some other piece of ground that would be suitable for a nice little park where mothers could take their little kid dies and let them romp on the green lawn and absorb some good fresh air and sunshine.
 A little park of this kind with some benches and a few trees in it would not cost such a great amount of money and would be something that Wrangell people would be proud of and take much pleasure ,n. A little park for children inside the city limits would be something that no other town in Alaska has.
 Yours very truly,
