S 8 MILE HANDICAP
m
One of the most successful boat races of the season took place on the Calumet river yesterday morning before a large gathering of spectators, under the augpicuous of the Hammond Motor Boat lub. The Earl, owned by E. E. Fricke, ras named as winner; her time being 1:17:11 and allowance 26:10. The morning, although offering a chilly reception to all who ventured on
spirit the entire way, all boats edging up on each other, and had the course been a mile longer the river would not have been wide enough to allow the boats to finish, as they would have been spread out. fan fashion, across the entire i' it. All boats finished within ten
minuus utter the first boat crossed the
line.
The Judges' report of the winners

brave mariners of the H. M. B. C. and ten boats lined up for the starting signal, which happened to be a 16-guage double-barrel shotgun. The boats were allowed twenty minutes to warm up the engines, and at 10:25 a. m. Merle Campbell, with his little clipper,, started the third annual ! handicap boat ranee Of the H. M. B. C. ! The other boats followed In quick succession, according to their respective allowance, with G. "VV. Hunter's racing canoe. Alma, as the wind-up. The Alma s the fastest boat of the club, and fcad to give quite an allowance to the , boats that had no speed stuck up their sleeve, and when the Alma tore through the water before the judge's stand, I there were strung out along the course
nine boats, all bent upon taking the first prize, a $20 storage battery. The boats all encountered more or less rough weather on the run and many
a hardy skipper took an unexpected, shower bath. The checkers reported the boats well bunched at the turning stake, and at the finish the crowd had Increased in number when the report went out that the winners were coming under the Hohman street bridge. I Exciting; Contest. All were excited, for the boats could be seen strung out, duck fashion, along the river, the Rainmaker leading, closely followed by the Earl. As the first boat passed before the Judge's stand at 11:46:20 a mighty cheer went forth. "While the Rainmaker was the first to cross the line. the winner could not be decided until the Judges had checked up the time of each contestant. The Emma J, and Alma were expected to warm up things at the finish, but both of these fast boats met with mishaps on the run and lagged along the course sacrificing valuable time, and while they expected to finish among the leaders, they both trailed far behind their rated schedule. The Alma lost six minutes and the Emma TU thirteen. These losses costing Messrs. Hunter and Lowden a chance to eeo the first prize. The race was contested with much

He stated, however, that, owing to the insinuation of the mayor that he not acting in good faith In representing the railroad In one matter and the Business Men's association In another, he would cease his activities toward securing better depot facilities. He then withdrew from the meeting. Chairman Wood and others present hastened to tell Mr. Crumpacker that they appreciated what he had done for the city, and Mayor Becker was left to nurse his chronic case of grouch.

for a big turnout. The same clique that is running the city administration and making the appointments framed up a ticket and simply handed it to the voter for a perfunctory O. K.
Want the Whole People. But the republicans on the other hand
court the people. They are anxious
that every man who expects to vote for the republican ticket come out and register his will regarding the choice of
candidates.
And having registered his will, the republicans expect that these same voters will come back to the polls in November and put the final seal of their approval on the ticket. There have been vague hints that these same democratic rlngsters who are dictating the policy of the present city administration would like, by means of characteristic trickery, to dictate the nomination of the republican candidates by voting their henchmen in the republican primaries. Warning In Issued. That this will prove to be a miserable failure is a certainty, and It is believed by those who have canvassed the situation that none but those who really intend to vote for republican candidates in the coming election will be permitted to do so in the primaries.

BIG LOSSES IN THE CENTRAL1
Hammond, through its Saengerbund, took a leading part in the silver jubilee celebration at the South Side Turner ball, Chicago, yesterday in honor of Professor E. Barglnde, former direc
tor of the Hammond singers. Sixty of the local singers participated in the program by the rendition of "Abends," the seventh number on the program. This was followed by an address, the principal one for the occasion, by F. C. Miller, president of the Hammond Saehgerbund-Fldella. His subject was "Das Deutsche Lied," in which he spoke In a general way of the German song, showing how It is characteristic of the German In all stages of life. It was a masterful address, which appealed to all of hi hearers and was greeted with a storm of applause. In conclusion he showed how the celebrant. Professor Barglnda, had nursed the German song In this country, and In the name of all singers present presented him with a laurel wreath. The address was followed by Kalliwoda's "Das Deutsche Wed," and although an extra number the program, was received with the highest enthusiasm. Although the affair was not a competition, the local

The instrumental and vocal program, consisting of twelve numbers, began at 4 o'clock and was followed by a supper and ball. The selections for the concert were all classical, and the manner In which they were rendered .showed the high efficiency which the various organizations at some time or other under te direction of Professor Barglnde had attained.
Tannhauser's March, by Wagner, rendered by Professor Barglnda and his pupils, was the opening number. The Hamilton Ladies' choir sang Strauss'
"An der Schoenen Blauen Donau." The Mozart Men's choir sang two numbers, Breus "Sontag Ist's" and Michael's "Wann und Wo." Another feature was the violin concert in which members of the Bargindo family rendered Ch. de Berlots Op. 16. The day will long be remembered by Hammond music lovers.

CALL ON
A. D. Schaeffer 800 Broadway GARY - - INDIANA
The police were kept pretty active yesterday and five prisoners were bagged as a result. A case which attracted a great deal of attention was that In which Thomas McMullen of 72 Hohman street, pounced upon J. E.
Murphy, who also lives on Hohman street and proceeded to give him a
whipping for his alleged violation of
the Sabbath.
Murphy is said to have precipitated the trouble by using profane language and making himself generally obnoxious to the people in the neighborhood.
Both men were arrested, however,
and were booked on the charge of dese
crating the Sabbath. They were each
fined Jl and cost, amounting to $11. Harry King of Hobart, a blacksmith
was arrested on the charge of being drunk and was fined $11. Peter Bennett was arrested on the usual charge and was discharged by Chief Austgen. Patrick Ryan, who first gave his place of residence as Peru and afterwards admitted that he was from Stony Island, 111., was caught shop lifting by one of the employes of the Lion store. The man was held by the clerk until Officer Herman arrived and he was then placed under arrest. He was easily convicted In the city court this morn-
I ing and was fined $22 and given ten days in jail. Ryan attempted to steal a box of

May Build Later. Representative of the South Shore lnterurban road have Informed Chairman Wood that they will make suitable arrangements for the building that the city administration bargained for, but did not get, as soon as It Is In finan- ; ;.tl shape to do so. It will be seen, therefore, that five railroads and one lnterurban line have
been heard from by Chairman Wood of the commission, and they have all
framed up nice little excuses, put pink
ribbons around them, covered them
with a dash of perfumery and are now
handing them to the people of Ham mond.
Chairman William J. Wood met
President W. G. Paxton, Secretary E. F.
Johnston and other members of the
Hammond Business Men's association in
the directors' room of the First Na tionl bank this morning at 9 o'clock.
Mayor Has a Grouch.
One of the features of the meeting
was the tilt between Mayor Lawrence Becker and Attorney Fred Crumpacker.
Mr. Crumpacker was appointed by Pres
Ident Paxton as the chairman of the committee of the Business Men's association, which was to take up the
matter of Improving the depot faclll ties with the commission.
In that capacity he has proven him
self to be a most efficient executive
Chairman Wood says that his corre
spondence was always answered
promptly, and the officers of the bus!
ness Men's association know that it
has been largely due to Mr. Crum
packer's activity that the sentiment in
favor of the movement has been arous
ed in Hammond and the railroads have been brought to a better appreciation
of the needs of the people of this city. ' Mayor Becker came in late, but he had no sooner entered, what had previously been harmonious meeting, than he jumped onto Crumpacker and accused him of representing the Monon railroad in its opposition to the opening of Highland street and was now
representing the business men in their efforts to secure better depot facilities from the Monoa railroad. Makes Dignified Reply. Attorney Crumpacker, In a dignified reply, stated that he was Indeed representing the Monon railroad locally in the matter of the crossing at Highland street, but in his capacity as attorney for the road he had the right to do so. He said that it was only a matter of
chance that he had been appointed
chairman of the committee that was to
take up the matter of better railroad
depots. Having been given that work

When they were here before they
made all their runs in the first inning, but yesterday they waited until the
eighth for their spurt and then made
their four runs In that Inning. Bob

so croak Irom stony Island did the slab work for the locals, and pitched a
good game. Catcher Girard of the Harbar had his thumb smashed in the eighth inning by a foul tip and was
succeded behind the bat by Jlmmie Gal

the field, the game being punctured by
plenty of errors. Girard and Sternberg each got a two-bagger and a single, and Erickson three singles. The sum
