REAL ESTATE, STOCKS, FUBMTOBB. WALTHOUR WINS SIX-DAY RACE amous Rider Captured First Place by About Two' Yards.

Moya and Wilson, the Pennsylvania Team, Were Right Up on the Finish Line, NEW YORK, December 14. Walthour won the six-day bicycle race by about two yards. The work of Walthour during the closing hours was simply wonderful, and he seemed never to tire, but with all his great riding he could hardly shake off his op ponents, who stuck to him like a leach. Walthour started the morning sprints at 8 o'clock, when the big crowd was just falling asleep under the slow pace. The nervy sprinter Bhot away like an arrow, and soon gained a quarter of a lap.

The pace was terrific the tall-enders began to wobble and waver In the dizzy whirl. The trainers hustled McEachern out on the track to relieve Walthour and urged him to make the sprint of his life. McEachern disappointed his admirers, however, and fell back to the string, which led by Butler, trailed like hounds at his heels. Sensational sprints followed by King and Munro, which tested the wind of the riders for some time. McEachern, evidently under the Influence of stimulative drugs, took the track again 3.45 o'clock and started a series of sprints.

Flnaly he punctured his tire and landed on the track, haggard, panting and dead 'beat. The referee, seeing his con dition, begged him to desist from his mad rushes, and the trainers started In after Walthour. Just at this Juncture, however, Walthour, who had been sleeping In his old dressing room, came bounding out, and scattering several spectators to right and left, leaped over the rail and jumped on his wheel for a great rush. Soon little Munro, fresh and smiling, smashed ahead at a wild pace. Walthour was hard at his heels, and the two gained a quarter of a lap and held It for over a mile, amid great excitement.

Then Tur-ville, who had been riding strong and with ease, and had come on fresh to relieve Babcock, sprinted away with Nat Butler dogging him. McEachern, who had again been put on for Walthour, fell hopelessly behind and again Walthour had to regain a hull lap. Mrs. walthour did not leave the track all day to-day. At noon she cooked "Bob by" a steak and sat by his couch at the edge of the track while heate It.

When ever "Bobby" took the track Mrs. wai thoiir's eyes never left him. The score at the finish follows: Miles. Laps.

After the meeting lad adjourned Presi dent Spalding Invited thep ress representa tives to the meeting room, nnd when they had assembled Mr. Spalding made a long, forcible address, displaying every character. Istlc of the man who Is looked upon and Is considered by many of the closest followers of the game as the only one to help them out of their trouble. How successful he will be In terminating his plans can only be told by future happenings.

In this address he thanking the members of the presB for their support and said he was glad to know that they had helped him to break the deadlock and to get out of the meeting that which the public, as the support of the game, should know all about. He said he was prompted to do this by the difficulties which he had In trying to learn what was going on and which he, as an honorary member of the League, was entitled to. He left no room to doubt his Intention of assuming full control of the League by saying: 'Now that I am elected I will be the boss. There will be no dictation from anyone, and will do my best to whip this League into condition that will please the public." He spoke of the combine and their meth ods, which he claimed were detrimental to all hopes for success, and declared that It seemed that a combine must be formed to push matters along. In connection with his defl to the Boston aggregation to vote against him, he said: When I knew the combine had landed Oonant, I did not think they could Induce mv friend to eo aculnst me.

as I couutea on tne sentiment in itoston. xao Boston trio are split and I want to get thein together ngniu, but If they don't want to be here and won't accept the schedule, then there will be another club in or near Boston.

can go along together. I want to play the game on National League grounds. My play will be our base ball records, my thirty-five renrs nenlnst. bis six. the ores sas the scor ers, and the American base ball public as the spectators.

Mr. Snnldlnir then sooke of some news paper accounts which he claimed were false and actuated by the powers of Freedinan- lm He went nto lengthy detail or nis visit to the League meeting on Wednesday last, when he demanded that a vote be taken one way or the other. He spoke of the selling out of the New York Club five years ago, which he said cost him and his friendB $12,000 loss. He spoke of being mentioned In connection wltk a cycling trust, but said that had nothing to do with base ball. He denied the charges of his trying to secure options on the stock of the various clubs which wns reported In The Philadelphia Times of Wednesday.

In answering the charges of lack of dignity, he declared "the whole trouble In the National has been that my predecessor was too conservative, One of the most Important matters taken up by Spalding was to give his reason for talking "base ball trust" with John Brush nnd James Hart, the outcome of which was a direct declaration that his entire connection with the affair wns not for his gain, but as a way to reach Freed man. and he thought by going to Brush first he could get Freedman later. His remarks Implied that he opened these negotiations to set a trap for the combine and they fell Into It. In connection with this matter Spalding gave out typewritten copies of bis letter to Brush and the hitter's reply, which Is quite lengthy. The letter credited to Brush Is very warm and speaks of the al leged desertion of the American League by the Baltimore and Detroit Clubs.

He said he heard nothing until he heard of the Bed Hank meeting ana tne aoroga Hon of the nntlnnnl airrpement. Mr. Snald In said: "I admit my plan was to down Freedman. but to do It honorably, to buy him out at his price." In explaining the option story Mr. Spalding declared that his Idea was to keep foreign innuencc out or an clubs and have them controlled by capital In the city where they belonged.

He denied ever havfnir secured options of two Ameri can League clubs. When asked If Cincinnati was to be scheduled next season Snaldlne said: "1 11 tell you that later, when this matter Is cleared up a bit." WANTS NO SALARY. Mr. Spalding then startled the conference by saying: "I want it nnderstood that I have accept ed the office of president for the good of the sport only. I reiuse 10 ai-cepi any siilnrv uu lnnir as I hold the office.

My office' will be my hat. and I don't Intend to a ow any one to tell me wnen or wnere i nhnll en. I urn a hellever of one man power, and If (he leaeue don't think so they have tiindp a nilstnke In me." He was askeo wont poucy me league would pursue In the war with the American League, but said be could not talk of that now. wnen asked nis opinion oi nun juuu aim bp lied hlin a "eood fellow." He wai asked If an agreement would be made with the minor His answer was Inter rupted by Tim Murnane, of Boston, who saiu tnnt no agreemeui miuiu uc uuuc uj the minor leagues with any league unless as a party of the first part. Mr.

Spalding answered by saying he thoroughly agreed with Mr. Murnane. Mr. Spalding closed the conference by saving: "Another matter I forgot to say was thnt I want the players to be represented In these meetings and see that they g(t what Is coming to them." His speech drw loud applause and the session closed. Andrew Freedman Issued a statement tonight In which he attacked President Spah iiino- irnlntf over much of the around which he covered yesterday.

Freedman said that the meetings of the four clubs on Friday night and to-day were both farcical and illegal. He cnargea ppnmiug win remm i tr, he vnme the better to sell base balls, and asserts that early this month Spalding tr ed to form a base oau Trust, no wiuu iin hv Rnvlntf!

It required good luck as well as skill to grass the birds on the grounds of the Key stone Shooting League yesterday.

The wind blew a gale over the traps and made screamers out of birds that ordinarily would have been termed easy. Quite a number of sensational kills were recorded, and many of the lost birds were hard hit with both barrels nnd were blown over the boundary. The main event was the club handicap. In this there were six entries, each shooting at ten birds, handicap rise. Brewer won first place with nine kills.

Fitzgerald and Smith were second with eight. Oelkler one of the three men to score seven, had his three lost birds dead out of bounds. Four miss and out nnd one seven-bird sweep were shot. In the miss and out events Gelkler on the first and divided with Brewer for the second and third. Fltzeerald and Brew.

THE BOSTONIAN AND HIS CLUB He Is Gregarious on the "Dutch Treat" Plan. Meantime the Boston man is leading his Independent life his Independent way, says Roswell Field in tne t-nicago rost. Of course, he is a good husband and a good father, and It Is not to be Inferred that he Is deficient In the smallest respect In those duties which devolve upon him as a citizen and the head of the house when he Is the head of the bouse. But there ts time for business and a time for pleasure; a time for men and a time for women; and the time for men Is the dinner at the club or the hotel, where madamejs not expected to 6hov her agreeable countenance. The "dining club" flourishes In Boston with the vigor of the rubber plant, and fairly rivals that Back Bny botanical product in polut of numbers.

Ordinary club life, for many and poten tial reasons. Is far more generally sought In Boston than In any Western city, and the man of any sort of social standing who does not belong to three or four clubs Is a significant exception. More than this, he not only belongs to Cluos, Dut, wnnt is more remarknblc from a Western standpoint, he patronizes them, perhaps urged thereto by his Puritan conscience, which demands that he shall get value received for money Invested. So far as my obstrvatlcn goes, ait ciud life Is very decorous and dignified, but altogether devoid "of those peilods of utter wretchedness and loneliness which characterize club life In Chicago. For 1 dare say there Is not a man In Chicago who will not confess thnt seme of the saddest and dreariest moments of his 1K have been spent at his club.

For the Chicago man has not been educated up to the part of sipping brandy and soda alone. The "dining club" Is, of course, not peculiar to Boston, but I do not recall that I have seen It so popularly cultivated In any other American city. Dismissing the ques tion of feminine exclusion, the dining club Is built on a wise and sound basis, and I use the term to apply to any gathering of men for food, material and mental. Thnt there are hundreds of such clubs In Boston I have no doubt, and the membership may vary from ten to fifty or more. It Is the small dining club, however, to which special reference should lie made, the club where a dozen good fellows of kindred tastes not necessarily of the same vocntlon eet together once a mouth or once ft fortnight, or even oftener, eat a good dinner, have ft little something for the stomach sake, smoke a cigar or two, ana settle the affairs of the nation as ouly your Bostonlan can.

Perhaps the dinner is served In a private room at a down-town restaurant or hotel Each member pays $2, more or less, a plate, and each buys his own liquor and his own cigars. The wisdom of this latter course 's at once apparent, nnd I am not Drenured to accept the reason half-humor- ously given by a friend, that "a man rarely drinks or smokes to excess when he Is pay ing for It." A dinner In Chicago may begin at any time from 7 to 9 o'clock and conclude at nnv time between midnight ana sunrise The Boston lilnt'er Is likely to be served punctually at 7 o'clock and to last three hours. The wine card Is handed to each member nnd he selects champagne or Rude shelmer, beer or Plymouth gin, as his taste and purse may dictate. Conversation Is general and usually animated. In former days it was customary for one or two members to "draw out a manuscript," as.

Uterp was the onlr successful favorite, and he was well backed.

The other winners had but mild support. Weather cloudy; track heavy. The feature of the card was the Preliminary Derby handicap sweepstake for 2-year-olds, and next to the Derby Itself the richest stake of the meeting. O'Hagan was made favorite, but he failed at any time to show better than third. The race lay between Little Scout and Kaloma, who finished necksnpart and ten lengths in front of the others.

Tbe winner was quoted at the liberal odds of 15 to 1, but had little backing. The pair finished staggering. Little Scout seemed to bear In on Kaloma towards the end, bat no foul was claimed. Summary: First race, six furlongs-Automatum, 113. Co-burn, 5 to 1, won; Small Jack, 103, Dominlck, 16 to 5.

December 14. The Amateur Athletic Association has not yet received an answer to Its Inquiry anent the status of Duffv, Kraenzlein, Baxter, Tewksbury, Long and Flanagan during their recent visit to England. The secretary of the Amateur Athletic Association wrote to secretary fcul livan. of the American Athletic Union, ask Ing If the aforementioned athletes were rep resenting clubs or were competing as indi viduals while they were In Englnnd. Allegations were made that they had their traveling expenses paid by JMignan organ) zatlons, which Is contrary to the rules In force here.

There la no desire to endeavor to dis qualify the Americans, but the Idea Is to Investigate the charges with tne view or disciplining the English clubs. Were Kraenzlein and the otherB formnlly repre senting American organizations these would have been communicated with, as a measure of courtesy. If the charges are proved the athletes are llnble to disqualification In England. Indoor Records Broken. Special toTHB PHILADELPHIA TIMES.

Good stories are told, "excellent discourse" Is supplied, and at 10 o'clock or shortly thereafter the company disperses, and each man goes decorously and soberly to his home.

This does ont sound very thrilling or exciting, but In point of fact it Is nearly the perfection of successful dining. It has been my good fortune to be present at many such dinners, and I have never seen a single case of Intoxication, have never noted objectionable feature, and have never known a dull evening. My wise friend, Crltlcus, tells me that the reason of the failure of stag dinners In the West and South Is that men have not learned to control their appetites. I might go further than that and explain that to my mind the trouble lies In the feverish restlessness of the Western man, wha worn out by the business activity of the day. resorts to his cups to stimulate his Jadett energies.

But whatever may be the reason. It Is certain that our occasionally frigid friend, the Bostonlan, Is far ahead of us In the wisdom and the art of true dining, and that we have much to learn from his experience and his example. "POP GOES THE WEASEL" Explanation of the Familiar Phrase In the Old Song. From the London Telegraph. "Jolly" John Nash, one of the last of the old-fashioned music-hall singers, died October 13, at 8 Racton road, Fullham, aged 73.

John Nash had been before the public for many, many years. He began In a small way, and was touring the provinces In the '60s with a company known as Mr. Jolly Nash and party. In 1871 he became chairman and most popular singer at the Strand Music Hall, which stood on the site of tbe Gaiety Theatre, now in turn doomed to demolition. The entertainment failed, but Nash's reputation was not Injured In the least.

He records In his ingenuous recollections that shortly afterward he bad the honor of appearing In private before royalty, singing "The Merry Toper" and "Rackety Jack." Later successes were his laughing song-a real side-splitter and "Now and Then," In which he commented on the social delinquencies of the late Mr. Blggar and others. The Royal was perhaps tbe hall In which be was most appreciated, but it was at the Tlvoll that he took his benefit In 1899 on retiring from tb boards. The Eagle, or Grecian Saloon, In the City road, Inspired that Immortal bal lad, "Pop Goes the Weasel." Why a weasel should pop ts a mystery that has baffled all the efforts of naturalists to this day. Mr.

Henry Heyman, 175 New Bond street, writes: "In your very interesting obit-uary notice on Mr. "Jolly Nash your con trlbutor quotes the old song, as per above heading, and says: 'It has always remained a mystery to naturalists and others why a weasel should If you will allow me to explain the meaning of the term, I think it will be perfectly clear to all and sundry why this does happen. The word weasel, In the slang of the period, meant the family plate, or something of equal value, there fore the Jingle: I Tp and down the City Road, In and out tbe Eagle, That's the way the money foea, Pop goes the "It stands to reason that after the wild expenditure of careering up and down the City road, paying the admission and con comitant expenses In the Eagle, the best means of replenishing the purse was to pop the weasel' Angllce, pawn the family Jewels or plate. It strikes me as a greater mystery why such a song ever took the town, though we have In later days had equally Inane and Idiotic ditties, to wit.

From Meehan'a Monthly. The sweet-scented violet of eld-tlms gar dens was the Neapolitan, a single blue one, of sweet perfume. This Is still one of the standard Kinds, both with professional growers nnd amateurs, but there are now other sorts, notably the Callfornlan and Maria Louise, which are In great repnte. In States south of New York these vlo. lets are often grown out of doors with en tire success In amateurs gardens.

The plants nre set In a partly shaded place, where It Is cool and fairly moist. They will not do as well In an open sunny place. neither liking the heat nor the red spiders which usually accompany It. Near a board fence Is a good place for them. In such a situation, with forest leaves scattered lightly over them when winter approaches they come through the cold weather safe enough, and just as soon as a little heat Is felt In the spring, start to grow and flower.

Little bunches of flowers are always acceptable to every one. The way florists prepare their plants for winter Is this: The small plants found about the large ones in spring are taken up and set out In the open ground to grow all summer. When fall comes these are nice clumps. These are lifted and planted In frames previously prepared for them, planting them somewhat In advance of freezing weather, that they may be established somewhat before winter comes. These frames are not heated, but various contrivances, such as straw, burlap or shutters placed over the sash and soil well packed against the outside, frost Is kept out or so nearly thnt no damage occurs.

Though not desirable, a little freezing In early winter does not hurt tbe plants, but It would seriously check them were It to occur towards spring, If new growth had Commenced. For this reason It is better not to keep them warm at first. Aim to keep frost out only, and give air freely whenever the weather will permit. If one Is satisfied of his ability to keep frost out right along there Is no objection to letting the plants start growing as soon as may be to give flowers nt the earliest period. When In frames of this kind the sun heat and protection from cool nights bring the flowers along with the disappearance of frost, and then the florist reaps his harvest.

There are some establishments In which greenhouse pultnre Is attempted, conveniences for heating being provided. But no great heat Is given at any time, the violets not needing It. These notes are not so much for those who wish to grow for market as for thoRe who wish a few flowers for their own gratification. It Is possible for those who have ho glass at all to place plants In frames, covered well with leaves. An Inclosure ot this description would suftlee to so protect the plants as to bring them Into flower soma wecKi tUical o( plants fiot, a4 jtcetectia.

STILL DIVIDED resident Spafding Holds a Meeting Backed by Only Four Clubs. rush-Freedman Faction Refuses to Recognize Election and Keep Away, Meeting Declared Adjourned, Special to THB PHILADELPHIA TlMBS. NEW YORK. December annual meeting of the base ball magnates of the National Leaeue adjourned at tne utn Avenue Hotel this afternoon after a week of turmoil, and out of the fire and smoke was launched the old National League, but under an entirely new construction, with A. 0.

Snauldlng, one of the pioneers of the game, at Its head. What the future of the league will be no one can possibly tell, for It adjourned wlttj only four oi its members present, and with the -breach ue- ween the two factions which have been carrvlne on the war against themselves, as far aonrt as ever. The new president Is firm In the beuei that he has been placed at Its head In a purely official and legal manner, and Is of the opinion that one or two, perhaps three, of the opposition can be brought back to help take up the fight for future prosperity of the league. If he can carry out these plans there are prospects of a bright future before the league; If not there seems to be only one thing to happpen and that Is, the National League, which has held the highest position in the base ball world for thirty-three years, will go out of business forever. Never before In the history of the tional League has that organization passed through such a session of discontent as J.he past meeting, and never before has Its members been In a greater state of demoralization.

A. G. Spalding, who was elected as president at 1.80 this morning, is recognized as president by only the four clubs that cast their voter for him, while the other half declare that they only recog nlze Nick Young as president. Which side will ultimately win out re mains to be seen. Should Spalding hold the office against opposition, he declares he will do so only under the condition that Andrew Freedman mut get out altogether.

That Freedman will hardly agree to step out gracefully Is sure, as he treats Spald lng's Invasion as almost a Joke. It Is now a personal war between these two. and should Spalding win against Freedman, and succeed In separating Brush, Roblson and Soden from his support, the New lork Club will be governed by Walter Spalding, who was formerly associated with Freed man, and the League will go on as before. On the other hand, It Is said, should Freedman succeed In holding his present allies, there will be no schedule made out for either Boston, New York, Cincinnati or St. Louis, but four new cities will be adjoined to the circuit.

Another plan said to be under way, Is to allow the National League to go out of existence and to have the forces which have rallied to the aid of A. G. Spalding Join hands with the Ameri can League and form a twelve-club circuit. That either one of these deals will ever come to light Is mere matter of conjecture, but the Incidents which characterized the final hours of yesterday's session seemed to point that way. With affairs In this unsettled state, two factions each claiming a president, a personal fight between Spald Ing and Freedman for practical leadership, and with every prospect of the battle being fought to the bitter end, the Ieague ad Journed to-day with the future to bring forth what It may.

And Spalding broke Into the game on Friday, the 13th day of December. ELECTION CAUSES SENSATION. Mr. Spalding's open and frank statements and his declaration that Andrew Freedman must be wiped off the base ball map has created the biggest sensation known to base ball history. Mnny of those who are Intimately con versant with base ball politics are of the opinion that the action of tbe Boston, New York, St.

Louis and Cincinnati magnates, In bolting last night's meet was an ac knowledgment of defeat. At best their ac tlon resulted In the election of Spalding. The parliamentary point decided on by Colonel Rogers, of Philadelphia, Is certain ly founded on good precedent. Former Speaker Tom Reed Is the authority for the precedent. In a famous decision In Con gress he ruled that members absent from a meeting room who had not been excused must be considered as present and not vot ing, and the representatives of the four clubs that elected Spalding president of the League Inst night declare they will carry the case to the united States Courts to prove the legality of the election, If neces sary.

Colonel John I. Rogers, of Philadelphia, said this morning: If It is It will be taken Into the United States courts, where a decision will be free from Tammany Influence. The final day of the session began with row, N. E. xoung had called a meeting for 11 o'clock this morning, but there were only one ot two of the magnates around.

Among them wns A. of Brooklyn, and he was mad clear through. He stamped up and down the corridor waiting for an opening. He finally met Billings, of Boston, and In conversation with hlin opened up a tirade against the four clubs who he charged with causing all the trouble. Billings tried to defend his partner, Soden, but Abell re fused to listen, and declared the four pack of scoundrels, one as bad as the other, The Interview caused some excitement, but soon quieted down.

Mr. Spalding called a meeting of the League for 2 o'clock this afternoon. It wa attended by but four men. Those who at tended were his followers: J. T.

Rogers, of Philadelphia; Hart, of the Chicago club: Dreyfus, of Pittsburg, and Abejl, of Brook lyn. Freedman and his friends stayed from the meeting, and It was annonuced that Brush bad left the city. SPALDING ANNOUNCES PLANS. When the meeting was called to order Spalding wns In the chair. He wade short address, In which he said that he In tended to put base ball on the plane It occupied some years ago, and, If necessary, new clubs would be put In place of those deserting the League.

A quorum was obtained for to-day's meet ing by an old parliamentary ruling by the new president. Mr. Freedman had sent hlg secretary, F. M. Knowles, to watch mat ters.

When the meeting was called Mr. Knowles approached the door nnd peered In. Quick as a flash his name was called There were four other clubs reDresented and Mr. Spalding rale'd thnt New York be counted as present, thereby making quorum. The magnates then proceeded to business.

The first order of business was the elec tion of a new Board of Directors. The election resulted In the choice of Ebbets, of Brooklyn; Soden, of Boston; Hart, of Chicago, and Dreyfus, of Pittsburg, The following board of arbitration wns then elected: Spalding, Young, Soden, Hart Rogers and Pulllani. President Spalding appointed the following committees: Constitution-Rogers, Hart, Brush. National Agreement Hart, Brush an Rogers. Playing Rules Hart, Hanlon, Reach The league placed the mntter of a playing schedule In the hands of President Spalding, with full power to net.

At the suggestion of Mr. Spalding the league unanimously de cided to invite press representatives to all future meetings of the organization. The meeting was adjourned subject toth call of the chair. The following Is the platform which Presl dent Spalding declared had been adopted by the National League: "To nromn-fe. foster, elevate and pernet ate the game of base ball, the national field sport or America.

COMMENT The election of A. 6. Spalding as president of the National League of Ba6e Ball Clubs means not only the salvation of the major body, but a doath-knell to Freedman-lsra, so far as base ball is concerned. Freed-man and his cohorts attempted to work one of the deepest schemes that was ever conceived in base ball history, and had his plans gone through the National League would simply have beeu wiped out of existence, and many valuable franchises would have been nobbled up by the arch-conspira-lors. Spalding easily saw through the scheme, and his denouncement of Freedman and his methods, while crcutlug a sensation, plainly showed that the new president not only knew the calibre of the man he was dealing with, but did just what should have been done four years ago.

Freedman has in the past antagonized almost every magnate in the League, and has dictated the policy of the organization simply because he Impressed upon the minds of the League that under no circumstances could the League get along without New York, and his high-handed methods were agreed to Bimply because no one seemed to have the courage to dispute his authority. In Spalding Freedman has met his mntch, and the Gotham magnate will now have plenty of time to reflect, and will also be compelled to take instructions instead of giving them. Spalding's victory may also mean an end of the base ball war, and it would not be at all surprising to see the two Leagues come together and make some sort of settlement In the near future. Recent reports say that arrangements are being made to take George Dixon, the ex-featherweight champion of the world, to England and match him against cither Jack iinherts. Will Curly or Kid Broad.

There was a time: not very long ago when a state ment of tills kind would arouse a vast amount of interest among the followers of the fistic game, as IMxon was then thought to be unbeatable. But now things have changed, and Dixon's recent performances have plainly demonstrated that he Is entirely outclassed by the younger and more progressive pugilists. Of course, Dixon may have some chance to defeat Roberts and Curley, and may be able to gather In a few of the English shillings, but If his manager is wise he will steer clear of Kid Broad and save the one-time world beater a thorough trouncing. Dixon's day Is over, but he needs money, and the only way he can get It is to stick to second-raters. His statement that he will challenge McGovern xr Corbett if he is successful on the other side is no uVubt prompted by what he has done in the past, but the little chocolate lighter fully recognizes that his star has set and is merely looking for a chance to legain some of his lost prestige.

The suggestion that the University of Pennsylvania send a second crew to Henley in July is preposterous. Pennsylvania made the best showing abroad lost year that any American crew has ever done, but it was at the loss of much prestige to this country. Beceause of the necessity of sending the eight possible to England the, Quakers were forced to be represented at all the Intercollegiate contests In this country with second-rate crews. As a result the Red (ind Blue oarsmen were defeated both at Lake Cayuga and Poughkeepsle. Even If Pennsylvania had one the Henley race It Is still open to question whether that victory would have made up for the loss of prestige in America.

It Is the place of l'ennsyl-vania to regain her standing in Intercollegiate aquatics before hunting for more glory abroad. There Is no doubt that Ellis Ward can turn out another victorious crew for the Poughkecpsle regatta. The supporters of Penn would not listen to another Invasion of England so soon after the last attempt, STENTON CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS The Old Grounds Have Again Been Leased for Next Season.
