Kx-Mayor A minis Dead.
Ex-Mayor Washburne R. Andrus died at
an early hour yesterday morning after a
long and severe illness. The tirst signs of
fatal disease came in December last, when
he suffered a paralytic stroke which com
pelled him to take to his bed. After that
he was almost entirely helpless, but was
tenderly cared for by his wife.
Mr. Andriu was born at Farmington,
Conn., in IH4I, and came to California in
1*73, becoming connected with the San
Francisco Manufacturing Company. He
married the wife who survives him, for
merly Mrs. Prenties. in 1886. Six years ago
Mr. Andrus' sight, which had been failing
for some time, left him entirely, and he
was compelled to retire from the active
business life he had led up to that time.
Mr. Andrus served two terms as Mayor
Of Oakland, being elected in 1878 by the
\\ orkiogmen'a party, and again at the next
election, his last opponent being D. W.
Standeford, who was indorsed by both the
Republican and Democratic parties.
The ex-Mayor was in power at the time
the City Council pas:>ed the ordinance
authorizing the institution of the water
front suits, and signed the ordinance. It
was said that he was offered $8000 to veto
the measure. In 1880 he was appointed
secretary of the Board of Railroad
Commissioners, and served until 1887. Dc
ceesed was a Mason in high standing, and
the funeral will be held from Masonic
Temple on Sunday next uuder the aus
pices of Live Oak Lodge No. 61, of which
he was a member.
Bones Being Sued.
Contractor Bam Bones of the Seventh
street local is being sued for a divorce by
his wife. They have been married for
thirteen years and now Mrs. Bones charges
her husband with flirting with a dashing
young widow of East Oakland, besides ex
treme cruelty, willful desertion, and a fond- ,
ness for other women's society. One child
was born to them, which Mrs. Bones asks
the custody of. She also asks for a divis
ion of the property, alimony, counsel fees
and costs. Both parties are very well
known in Oakland, M t. Bones being espec
ially conspicuous for his toll tigure. He is
a son of the late Senator Bones.
Michael Colling' Trial.
Michael Collins, who killed Philip Boo
| gar on January 8, was placed on the stand
! in Judge Frick's court yesterday afternoon
jto talk for his life. Collins was born in
I Ireland in 1823 and is the father of Mrs.
i Boo^ar, whose husband he killed. The de
! fendant testified as follows:
: 'l met Boogar at the entrance of the
i Galindo Hotel. I came down from Broad
! way and ran right into him. Boogar said to
i me, 'You drunken bum, I've got you now.'
I He then ran his hand down in his pocket
and then I tired two shots as fast as I
could. I was afraid he would get in first
and kill me. He had threatened to kiJl
; me before."
On cross-examination witness was asked:
I "Why did you shoot Boogar tAvice?"
He replied: "I shot him twice to make
j sure of him."
"You wanted i^ kill him, did you not?"
! asked the District Attorney.
"Of course I did. 1 wanted to get rid of
him," answered the witness.
Collins further said that hip daughter
bad told him that Boogar threatened to
kill him. He said that he feit no ill will
toward Boogar, but at the time of the mur
der he was unable to get away from lam.
He did not see a revolver inßoogar's hand,
but he said that he would not run, for fear
of being shot in the back. Mrs. Boogar,
! upon being recalled, testified that it was
I her husband's custom to carry a knife and
I a revolver. The good reputation of Collins
j was testified to by Frank J. Momtt, Robert
Gay and others.
Attorney Benson of San Francisco was
j called upon to state the number of attor-
I neys employed by Boogar and the expense
FIJRST PEESBYTEBIAN CEUECH, BERKELEY.

!of the same. His knowledge about
Boogar's legal affairs was limited except
as to his own fee, which was $2500. The \
trial will be resumed to-morrow morning. ;
The Druggists' Trial.
Druggists Osgood and Kellogg were
brought before Judge Wood yesterday to
answer to a charge of selling liquors. " H.
Netehe, a whisky expert from San Fran- j
cisco, was placed on the stand and testified I
that the so-called malt whiskies sold by j
druggists are really not malt whiskies at I
all, for they contain little or no malr. He
exhibited a bottle of pure malt whisky
which he said was sufficient to scent the
whole courtroom if poured on the floor.
The matter of glycerine was brought up.
The expert said that glycerine could nut j
be detected, as it is tasteless, and he fur
ther said that there is more or less gly
cerine in all whisky, whether sold by
! druggists or others.
A clerk of Druggist Kellogg testified that j
he had been instructed to sell liqtiors for j
medical purposes only. The case will be
taken up next Thursday when a decision
will be rendered.
The New Athletic Grounds.
The proposition of A. L. Stone, secretary
of the Oakland, San Leandro and Hay- :
j wards Electric Railroad Company, to build J
a handsome athletic park at Elmhurst for
the use of the different athletic clubs about '
the bay, is being very favorably re-
I ceived. Last night President Ncece of the
Acmes, President Hancock of the Olympic j
Club, and President Fitzgerald of the I
Reliance Athletic Club met Mr. Stone and I
! had an informal talk on the suject. They
I are all hiirhly enthusiastic over the pro
i posal, and prospects are most bright that j
I matters will be carried through with a
j rush. No action can be taken until the
plan ia submitted before meetings of the
members of the different clubs. Mr. Stone
will draw up an agreement to be presented
to the clubs at their next meeting.
Going to Catztp Fairbanks.
The members of Company F, Fifth In
fantry, N. G. C, are preparing for their
annual camp and will leave Oakland to
morrow for Camp Fairbanks, Petaluma,
for a weex's stay. Captain G. H. Wethern
i has issued the following order:
Pursuant to R. O. Xo. 5, C. S., you are hereby
notified to assemble ut the armory, in service
uniform, Saturday, June 8, 1895, at 5 p. M.
sharp, earlier If possible, and proceed to Camp
Fairbanks, Petnl'jma, by the 5:30 P. M. train,
broad gauge. You will provide vourcelf with
an extra, blanket, necessary tolfct articles, a.
dark blue flannel shirt and two pairs of clean
gloves. A change of underwear may be car
ried with you in haversack, but overcoats and !
other personal eflVcts should be sent to the
armory on evenings of 3d and 4th, not later,
plainly marked with owner's name.
Southern Pacific Will Pay.
Assessor Dalton placed the value of the
Southern Pacific's property in Oakland at
$180,500 this year, while last it was assessed
at only $«3,000. The various items of the
assessment are: Lumber $42,000, ties $30,
--400, rails $18,000, coal $43,600, piles $5000,
machinery and tools $40,700, total $180,500.
Jt was thought by many that the raii
road company would fight against paying
such a heavy tax, but this has not been the
case as they have already paid their taxes
on personal property to both the city and
the county.
Lakeside Tennis Tournament.
The new Lakeside tennis courts have
given a great impetus to the society game
in Oakland. The tournament begun on
Decoration day has been going on all this
week and the contest has narrowed down
to two players, Frost and Selby. The
finals will be played to-day. Selby bas a
handicap of }|-!S0 and Frost 1-15. Both
players have been doing excellent work
lately, but it is thought Selby will win on
account of the big handicap.
Lambert's Trial Postponed.
TV. R. Lambert, formerly clerk of the
Police Court, who is charged with misap-
Eropriating public money, was to have
ad his trial in Judge Frick'e court yester
day, but it was postponed on account of
the Collins trial not being finished.
Mrs. K. M. HJnckley in Oakland.
The well-known teacher of cooking, Mrs.
E. M. Hinckley, will speak to the ladies of
Oakland on next Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock in the Young Women's Christian
Association on cooking. She will show

jing subscriptions for the Fourth of July
j celebration is meeting with no trouble in
j getting money. Already, and with but
' little soliciting, they have got $1200. The
'■ committee desires that all merchants make
i up their minds what they can afford to
j give before being called upon so as to cause
I no delay to the solicitors.
Oakland Fruit Shipments.
Oakland is getting to be quite a fruit-
I shipping center. Orders have been re
; ceived from Tacoma, Washington, for regu
lar supplies. Hereafter, every five days, a
consignment of four tons of fruit and vege
j tables will be sent to that place. This is
1 something entirely new for Oakland.

BEBKELEY.
At a meeting of a number of ladies mi
i terested in athletics, particularly bicycling,
! on Wednesday evening it was decided to
! take steps toward organizing a ladies'
annex to the Crescent Athletic Club. The
! question of forming such an organization
has been under discussion for some time
! past, and now that a new building for the
! Crescent Club is an assured thing the
i ladies have decided to take the proper
j steps toward forming an annex.
If the present plans are carried through
j the ladies will have rooms set aside to
their exclusive use, and will have pntire
control of their part of the bnilding. A
I director of physical culture will be secured,
! and the expenses borne by the whole club,
I and nil members, both of the main club
and the annex, be entitled to free instruc
; tion.
A committee consisting of Mrs. C. L.
Tabor, Miss Belle Brainard, Mrs. G. L.
Wilcox, Mr?. 8. H. Metcalf and Mrs. J. C.
Anthony was appointed to take the proper
steps toward completing arrangements.
Berkeley's New ( lain M.
The members of the First Presbyterian
Church of Berkeley have finally decided
upon a site for the' erection of their pro
posed new building, as stated in yester
day's Gall.
Various sites upon which to build have
been considered, the last of which was a
lot at the corner of Durant avenue and
Fulton street, for which property the
church recently paid $4800. On May 8 a
congregation meeting was called and it
was decided to build on the newly pur
chased lot, but since then W. E. Sell has
offered a $i6OG lot to be used as a site for
the church and a donation of $1000 has
also been offered if the new building be
erected on the site of the present church.
The building will be in the old English
style of architecture, 124 feet in length,
with a frontage of SO feet on Ellsworth
street. It is to be erected on the expansive
plan, that is, so constructed that the au
ditorium and Sunday-school rooms can be
thrown into one large hall. The seating
capacity of the auditorium, including the
galleries, will bp between (300 and 700, and
with the Sunday-school room thrown open
1200 can i c accommodated. It is proposed
to have the pulpit in the corner, with the
choir loft behind and above. Among the
accessories to the main structure will be
parlors, infant-class room, pastor's study
and library. Small classrooms will be par
titioned on around the sides of the main
Sunday-school room.
The board of trustees expects that the
work on the main structure will be com
menced at once. It is estimated that the
building will cost in the neighborhood of
$15,000, nearly all of which has been sub
scribed. Toe membership of the church is
about 300. The pastor is Rev. H. A.
Ketchum. D.D., and the board of trustees
consists of ,T. M. Whitworth, Professor J.
K. Stuart. C. K. Clark and Dante! Fair
banks, with C. P. Hoag as secretary.
K«ception to the U. C. Athletes.
A movement is under way to give *h*
victorious athletic team from the univer-
I sity a big reception upou their arrival
from the East, about July 1. PruaJdeut
Morrison of the Alumni Association, W.
N. Friend, president of the Associated Stu
dents, and Walter Magee, physical direc
tor of the university, are the most actively
engaged in making preparations for the re
ception.
It is expected that a delegation of stu
dents and others from Berkeley will go as
far as Sacramento to meet the athletes
upon their return. E. M. Wolf, secretary
or the Alumni Association, who is now
I living in Sacramento, is working among
j those in the capital city who are interested
in university athletics.
Mr*. Whiting's JLast Check.
Probably the last piece of business trans
acted by Mrs. Harold Whiting, who was
lost with her family in the Colima disaster
was to make a donation to a charitable
institution. Yesterday a check was pre
sented to the Berkeley Commercial Bank,
signed by Julia Dana Whiting, and drawn
in favor of the San Francisco Institution
for Homeless Children. The charity of
both Mrs. Whiting and her husband was a
feature which marked their lives while in
Berkeley.
Shooting Rattlesnakes.
On October 9, 1801, I was hunting on
Skitchewaug. a peculiarly rough and pre
cipitous mountain in Windeor County,
Vermont, famous, among other things, for
its rattlesnakes, although they are seldom
seen so late in the season as that. The
morning sun beat warmly in upon the
masses of loose rock at the bottom of a
cliff, and this, I presume, had brought out
the snakes. Hearing a slight rustling in
the leaves, I turned and saw a bi? rattler
gliding slowly along within a dozen feet of
me. I had never killed one, and rejoicing
in this opportunity I gave him a charge of
No. 8 shot, says a writer in the Forest and
Stream.
THE BAY DISTRICT RACES.
Imp. Ivy Dumped the Talent
Hard in a Five-Furlong
Handicap.
WON AT ODDS OF 15 TO 1.
A Poor Start Killed the Chances of
De La Guerra, Played for
a "Killing."
W. 08. Macdonough was in great form yes
terday ana quit the day fully $8000 ahead. He
had wagers down on Tamalpais, imp. Ivy and
Garcia.
Josephine, winner of the first race, by imp.
St. George out of Una B, is a haif-sister to
Hymn, but comes a long way from possessing
his great turn of speed.
"Bteve" Peters rode the winners of the first
two races. ''Steve 1 ' did not have his feet in
the stirrups when the flag fell on the first stait,
and finished with them dangling at the horse's
sides.
Joe Flynn, an elder brother of Willie Flynn,
who was recently ruled off the turf ior his pe
culiar ride on Realization, leaves for his home
in Uniontown, N. J., to-day. Joe feels very
gloomy over his brother's trouble, and thinks
that many of the charges of crookedness made
against him were due to incompetency, as
Willie was never considered a top-notcher.
That being the case, he can take a few pointers
while on the ground, and if taken, and the stew
ards see fit to reinstate him, he will be more
careful in the future. The boy is young and
should not be too harshly judged.
That the game at the Bay District the
last few weeks has been a hard one to beat
is a generally conceded fact, and it is grow
ing harder daily. The sea that the talent
launched their craft on yesterday was a
tempestuous one. but that its early wreck
was due to overloading is questionable.
The causes were many, principal among
which was Starter Merrell's ragged work
with the flag. In his early efforts Merrell
bid fair to prove a formidable rival to Fer
guson, but of late he has fallen off woe
fully and his starting has been the cause
of much untavorable comment. And then
the horses, what a forlorn, jagged, weary
looking lot they are, with a Bort of I'd
like-to-have-a-vacation air about them.
Many of those starting have bumps and
lumps on their legs not unlike the mis
shapen pedal extremities of the jester in j
a comic opera company, and everywhere !
is seen marks of the tiring iron. The. bet- j
ting ring plainly shows the want of a free
silver bill, or a subdivision of this world's
goods among those of the lower classes ac- f
cording to the anarchistic theories. The
better clasa of turf devotees no longer '
crowd the clubhouse balconies, but have
passed the deal over to the specu- I
lators who would play the horses if the |
races were run in Patagonia and it took j
six days by winding, tortuous cable
routes to get the results.
Two out of rive favorites won yesterday,
the others going to outsiders, one a 20 and
one a 15 to 1 chance. But those first j
choices that were downed were of such a
torrid character that a wet blanket was
thrown on the winnings of the two favor
ites that did survive.
There were all sorts of trouble for the
talent in the live-furlong handicap. Quirt |
opened a 3 to 5 favorite in the books, but ■
went back to 15 to 20 with the customary i
ugly rumors of having undergone the em
balming .process. Hymn, the second
choice, opened at 8 to 6, and these odds
were obtainable as he went to the post.
Imp. Ivy it was said had suddenly become
acclimated and the "wise push" got
aboard, getting as good as 15 to 1 against
her. Gypsy Girl was the otner starter. '-.
Letting a good breakaway pass him Mer- j
rell finally dropped his flag to a poor start, 1
Quirt off clear of the others. Hymn last. }
Apparently not overburdened with speed, j
Quirt was soon passed by Gypsy Girl, and i
on the far turn was passed by Ivy. The
latter soon assumed command, and al
though Hymn came strong at the end she
held mm safe and won cleverly by a length.
Quirt was a fair third. No records were
broken, the timers hanging up 1:01 J£.
A four and a half furlong race for maiden
two-year-olds opened the day's racing, and i
was taken in a drive by the 8 to 5 favorite,
Josephine, who beat the fine-looking |
daughter of Torso, Theresa X, a head at
the wire. The latter was a 15 to 1 shot,
and would have snatched victory had the
distance been a few yards further. Linda
Vista, a 5 to 1 chance, was third, a head
away.
The next, a short six-furlong run for
non-winners at the meeting, drew out a
fine assemblage of "goats." De La Guerra
was the "pipe," and opening at 6to 1 was
backed down to twos, being the post favor
ite, and his winning meant a heavy loss to
the books.
Jtferrell dropped his flag with the "good
thing" off last of the bunch of nine start
ers, and although he made a great run,
after being injudiciously ridden, could not j
catch Tamalpais a 20 to 1 shot, who won
by a length. Halifax finished third.
The fourth race at the same distance
developed another "pile-driver" in Green
back Jr., who opened at "1% to 1, and was
thumped down to 6 to 6in short order.
He got away a couple of lengths in front ol
j the flag, and won as he liked, four lengths
• in front of the second choice, imp. Oal-
I phurnus, with Red Wing third, about four
| lengths further away.
Another prominent favorite, Rico, was
covered with moss on the last event, a mile
selling affair. Opening at 6 to 5, he went
to the post 13 to 10, and was never in it.
Bernardo led until the far turn was
reached, when Garcia headed him and won
in a big gallop by five lengths in 1:42. Del
Norte coming strong at the end, beat Ber
* nardo out nearly two lengths for the place.
The odds against the winner were 5 to 1.

ALL KINDS OF SPORTING
What May Become of the
Olympic Athletic
Grounds.
The Colma Athletic Club Has
Matched Mahoney and An
thony to Box.
The directors of the Olympic Club are
feeling jubilant over the prospects of leas
ing the outside athletic grounds to an
Eastern company for a term of five years
at a monthly rental of $200. The com
pany, which will in all probability take
I possession of the defunct athletic
I park in the near future, proposes to
tear down the grand stand and tennis
court 3 and construct an immense water
chute on the toboggan^plan, where boats
I will be in readiness to give pleasure-
I hunters a ride around the grounds. It is
j said that chute-riding in Chicago is now
a very popular pastime. The Olympic
Club ia now paying the owner of
I the grounds $240 a month rent, and if sat
f isfactory terms can be made between the
Eastern water company and the club the
' latter will have to pay only $40 a month
1 rent until the time for the expiration of
i its lease, which will be live years from now.
The Olympic Gun Club met last evening,
j but nothing of any importance was trana
! acted, as a general" meeting of gun clubs
interested in clay-bird shooting will be
held on Saturday evening next.
The crews which competed in the regatta
on May 30. with the exception of the St.
i Mary's College crew, have agreed to race
i again on Sunday, the l(3th inst., over the
same course. The Olympic Club's crew
had a practice spin last evening.
The Colma Athletic Club matched James
Anthony of Australia and Danny Mahouey
! last evening to box twenty rounds at
i Colma on the night of the 2bth inst. The
preliminary will consist of a ten-round
bout between Mulverhill and Johnson
(colored).
The general opinion of sportingmen is
that Mahoney and Anthony will put up
a first-class fight at 114 pounds, the
weight they have agreed to fight at.
The SaiDt Bernard Club met last
evening and a few new members were
I elected. The club feels highly elated over
I the very excellent showing it made in
I the dogs at the recent bench show.
ALAMEDA.
The much-disputed title to the office of
Library Trustee will probably be the sub
ject for a test case before the Superior
Court next Tuesday. When City Treas
urer Wheeler was first served with the writ
j of mandamus he desired to consult the
I City Attorney before paying the claim of
the librarian of $100 for salary for the
month of May. After thinking the matter
over Treasurer Wheeler has come to the
conclusion that he will not cash any of the
library warrants.
Colonel W T heeler called upon City Attor
ney Taylor yesterday morning, and after
a short consultation with that official
stated to a Call representative that he con
cluded to show cause for not cashing the
warrant.
"I shall not pay the money yet," said
Colonel Wheeler. "The mandate is not
peremptory, but alternative, and by cash
ing the warrants nothing would be de
cided. lam not supposed to know which
is the legal Board of Free Library Trust
ees, and I shall therefore appear before
Judge Ogden next Tuesday and Btatfl that
as my reason for not cashing the librarian's
warrant. I want to be relieved of this un
certainty and be at liberty to act."
An injunction is still hovering over the
new board and the refusal of the Treasurer
to honor the warrants of the holdovers fur
ther complicates matters. The Superior
Court will be resorted to for a decision.
Mvyer Property Attached.
The property of Lonis Meyer, at the cor
ner of Pacific avenue and Lafayette street,
has been levied on by J. J. Eauer to satisfy
a judgment obtained in the Superior Court
of Sari Francisco for $4570. Mrs. Meyer is
trying to pave the property and has riled a
declaration of homesteaj on it. She values
the property at $5000.
The Mernia Estate.
The inventory and appraisement of
newly discovered property Belonging to the
estate of D. W. Merwin has been riled. The
properly consists of real estate valued at
$1500 and is located at the corner of Park
street and Clinton avenue. Merwin was
formerly one of the conductors of the
broad -gauge local.
Not Dangerous.
0. P. Anderson, who wanted to tise the
back yard of an Alderman's lot for a to
bacro plantation, and is subject to deinen*
tia induced by whisky and old age, has
been discharged by the Commissioners of
Insanity because "not dangerous to be at
large.

MUST BE ROWED AGAIN
It Was Impossible to Award
Places in the Junior
Barge Race.
TESTIMONY TOO CONFLICTING.
A New Contest Ordered Will Prob
ably Take Place a Week
From Sunday.
There is to be another contest for the
trophies put up by the South End Rowing
Club. Such is the "decision of Referee M.
A. Whidden.
When the junior barge race came to a
conclusion last Sunday, a protest was im
mediately filed by Harry Brenca, captain
of the Ariel crew, aguinst the Olympic
crew on the ground of a foul.
The race was given under the auspices of
the South End Club, which offered a silver
cup for the winner and a gold medal for
the crew that came in second. It took
place off Long Bridge, and was three
quarter, of a mile and return. There were
seven entries, the following clubs being
represented : Olympic, Acme, Ariel, South
End, Pioneers, St. Mary's College and the
Dolphin.
Not only was there the formal protest of
the Ariel made, but there were numerous
• other charges of fouling and failure to turn
the outer buoys.
Under these circumstances Referee
Whidden refused to make his decision un
til he had a conference with the seven
judges who respectfully represented each
of the contesting crews. This conference
took place Wednesday night in Judge
Barry's courtroom, new City Hall. In addi
tion to thft judges and the referee there
wa?; a large attendance from the clubs in
terested, and the proceedings soon as
sumed the dignity of a regular judicial in
quiry. Every one but the referee, judges
and the newspaper representatives was
excluded from the room. The judges were:
John Elliott, representing the Olympic
Club; John L. Jannet, St. Mary's,; A. 11.
Melletz, South End; W. C. Espy", Pioneer;
Jaiues M. f?tanly. Acme; J.S. Uyland,
Ariel; Albert P. Rothkopp, Dolphin.
Soon after the formal discussion opened
the question was raised as to whether the
Olympic crew had turned the buoy before
starting on the return course. Consider
able desultory argument ensued, and it
was finally decided to call in the captain
or one of the crew of each boat to take
testimony.
There was not the slightest trace of acri
mony in any of the proceedings and all
expressed their willingness to have the
referee decide the whole matter without
taking testimony, but this responsibility
Mr. Whidden refused to assume. While
this debate was going on Elliott of the
Olympics in the heat of enthusiasm for the
crew he represented flung out a challenge
to Uyland of the Ariels offering to put up
a trophy himself for a race between the
i Olympic and Ariel crews, no matter how
I the referee might decide the matter under
I discussion. His challenge was promptly
accepted.
The defiance was directed against the
Ariels in particular, as the further issue
has arisen as to whether the Ariel had
fouled theVHympic boat or vice versa.
Before it was determined to take testi
mony a suggestion was made to have the
race rowed over, but Jaunet, the St. Mary's
judge, stated that it would be impossible
j for the college crow to participate in an-
I other contest, as commencement 'was only
j two weeks off, and after that the crew
would be scattered.
After the testimony had been heard,
Harry Brennan, captain of the Ariels;
Fred A. Michels, captain of the Pioneers;
J. E Fickett of the South Ends, J. W.
Morton of the Olympics, William J. Han
lon of St. Mary's, James Kennedy of the
Acmes and William Patterson, captain of
the Dolphins, a brief argument was made
by Elliott of the Olympics claiming first
place for his club.
After reading over carefully the notes he
had taken of the testimony and looking up
the rules of the Pacific Athletic Associa
tion,which governed the race, Mr. Whidden
stated that he could not decide the matter
of placing the boats, as the evidence had
been too contradictory. He then con
cluded: "My decision is that the race be
rowed ever at some future time."
Jaunet. asked that the Sf. Mary's crew be
given second place, the other crews to con
test for rirst position. On being put to a
vote, the decision went against him. No
date was fixed for the race, but a sugges
tion was made that it take place :i week
from Sunday next, ana thin will probably
be favorably considered by the regatta com
mittee of the South End Club.
As St. Mary's will not be able to taka
part in this contest, her crew was given
the privilege of challenging the winner.
Jaunet stated, however, that his club was
now out of the affair altogether.
Klley Won't Lecture Next Year.
