A number of yonng men, mostly col
legians, were sitting In a group on the
forward dwk of n North river steam
er. They tvero prolug up to I'ouh-
keepslc to a boat race of t-ollei-'o crews
on the Hudson. An elderly man sat
near tliem ILitenlnj? to their talk and
enjoying v tho exuberance of youth
which came bubbling out of them.
Presently he drew bl.s chair near them
and eakl;
'Your talk takes me back a pool
many years. I pulled In the race of
180 between Harvard and Yale, a
race nerer to be forgotten by rue on
account of a curious culmination con
nected with It"
"What was that, sir?"
Tho man hesitated. Presently ho
said: "I'll give it to you, but under

"The boat shot out into the middle of

WILL BE REPAIRED
The frigate Constitution, relic
of the early days of the United
States, is going dnto dry dock for
the first time in nearly three-,
score years, according to plans
announced at the Charlestown
navy yurd, where tho old sea
fighter is docked.
In the last naval bill an appro
priation whs niadfor repairing
the Constitution, and as a new
bottom is .neceKSiiiSy she will
have to go Into drydock. Tho
(potation Is regarded as a deli
cate one, for it is feared that
the frigate's hull is not in condi-
tion to stand any great strain.
The last thno the Constitution
was In drydock was in 1858.

Seeding Wheat.
During th past several days our
farmer friends have been quite busy
seeding wheat, and we learn that
many acres have been "set aside" for
this purpose this season. We believe
that this Is the proper thing to do
wheat is high flirting wits a two-dob
lar bill in a most disgraceful manner,
and tho prospects are that this flirta
tion will be kept up for many months.
As a consequence of this activity on
the part of the farmers, the tobacco
breaks have not been so heavy during
the past several days, though tho
woed is still high, whilo some are
saying that the prices are advancing.
