THE TIMES.
MOTOR BOATERS HAVE FINE
PORT 01 THE RIVER
Members of tha Hammond Motor Boat lub and thlr friends spent an extraordinary pleasant day on the rivor yesterday. The features of the day's program were a basket dinner, lawn games, percentage races and a thrilling exhibition of the tobagrgron slide. The day's program was centered at the "Duckie Kid" camp ground, near Burnham, owned by Sam Burnham. The members and their guests arrived In the various boats at the camp ground about 10 o'clock In the morning and amused themselves with ground games until noon, when the well filled baskets
were brought out. The percentage race games were be
gun at 8 o clock and four boats qualified
for this. The contestants were sent , over a seven and a half mile course without knowlne the exact distance
and the time in which they made the trip. Upon their return they were
Again sent over , the same course and the time for the second trip checked against the first trip, each boat being penalized one point for each second , -which it lost or gained against the first rtlp. A lady rode In each boat to act as judge. The boats in this contest were the Roy T. owped by T. Thompson, and accompanied by Miss Mae Hill; the Earl, owned by E. F. -Frlcke, and accompanied by Miss Minnie Gilboe; Cap, owned by II. A. Ford, and accompanied by Mrs. J. Lowden. and the Louisa S., owned by William ' Leytss and accompanied by Mrs. D. A. Perkins. The Earl and Roy T finished with a perfect score, their time respectively
having been 49 minutes, 30 seconds and 88 minutes. The Cap was penalized 30 points and the Louisa S. 60 points. The percentage system brings out the consistency In the boat and its management. See Toboggan Hide. The toboggan riding was performed by Frank Seestadt, this having been his first performance after seeing a similar "stunt" at the Chicago carnival last week. Standing on a plank platform, two by four feet, which was tied to a motor boat with a twenty-foot rope he managed to balance himself over a course of two miles. He stood on the boards in a bathing Fuit, ready for a plunge, but his fine balancing
saved him from a "ducking." The boats on the river yesterday in
addition to those in the contest were the Nellie O., owned by Thomas Gilboe of Grassellie; the Eel. owr.ed by Frank and Henry Seestadt; the Duckie Kid. owned by Sam Burnham, and the Anna Belle, owned by William Gordon, Sr. Among; the members and guests were Messrs and Mesdames hTomas Gilboe and A. J. R. Hill of Grasselll, Sam Burnham of Burnham, Charles Burnham of Pullman, William Gordon, Sr.; G. W. Hunter. C. E. C. Payne, Frank Seestadt and W. F. Schroeder of Hammond. Mesdames S. Perkins, A. D. Browning, J. Lowden of Hammond and Helen Soliday of Chicago. Misses C A, Perkins, Lillie Gilboe, Mae Hill, Addle Gilboe, Beulah Pock and Anna Stolly. Messrs. John Burnham of Burnham, H. D. Eastman of Grand Crossing, F. J. Ford, H. A. Ford and O. E. Ford, E,. E. Frlcke,
T. Thompson, William Leytxe, Henry
Seestadt, William Gordon, Jr.; Charles Ahlborn, Albert Browning and Ray Lowden.
Socialist Speaker.
Miss Florence Wattles, a socialist speaker, addressed a large audience last Saturday evening at the corner of
Hohman and Fayette streets in Ham
mono, in tne audience were many
women who listened to the speaker's
address.
I
withhold thousand of cars from the '
grain-shipping business for a consld-
rable length, of time.
Coke shipments from the east are
also greatly behind and this product
will have to be moved to the consuming points, thus taking large numbers of cars away from the coal trade. The
xlgencles of buslnes son any line of
railroad will Influence the routing of
ars In a great degree, and It may
thus happen that thousands of cars on the grain roads may return to the west empty when they should carry coal, coke or other products In the great scheme of distribution. On the other hand, the coal roads may have to
hurry back their empty e?rs to the mines Instead of letting them come
east loaded with the products of the
farms. In either case there will be
an economical loss through the enforced idleness of cars for several days on each trip.
On this account It will be necessary
to fill all the coal bins early in the season if consumers would be safe, for when the time comes that demand far exceeds the supply the consuming
public will have to suffer and prices may soar upward. The railroad and coal companies are urging their correspondents to use their utmost endeavors to get freights in early. The coal dealers are also urging their cus-
omers to take their supplies early so
that the first shipments of coal may
be out of the way of the later Invoices.
If all consumers will act on this advice there Is no reason to fear a shortage of hard coal next winter. If the advice Is not heeded the careless ones
may have to pay the penalty by going without coal or paying very high prices for It.
Attend Retreat. The priests of the Fort Wayne dlo
cese left for South Bend yesterday and
this morning to atetnd a week's re
treat at Notre Dame. The Chicago
i priests hold their retreat there next
week.
Wayman Has New Office.
F. L Wayman, the well-known
Hammond real estate dealer, has Just opened a. new office on Sibley street in
the office formerly occupied by H. F, Melkle.
His new quarters are much more
commodious than the old ones and he
expects to do a good business. Way-
man works in a quiet way, but he Is
doing well nevertheless.

There is a prospect that there will
be a car shortage this year that may
produce a coal snoriage, especially o"
hard coal,, and the people who desire
supplies to lost them through the win ter will do well to have their bins fill
ed early. This will not only save the
consumers from trouble and apprehen

, dealers to solva the problem, which is
j to take care of their customers.
I r onunaie xor ine nam coal con Butting public there are a number o
j local dealers who are equipped with
storage capacity which will enable
them to carry largre stocks and thl
fact will partially solve the problem of
But when the local storage
capacity is filled the accumulations will not be sufficient to last through
the winter, and, therefore. It is neces
sary that private storage be utilized
to its capacity early In the season. If the dealers can take care of a large
portion of their customers in thi
manner they will probably be able to carry enough coal to take care of the
rest of their trade.
Several factors will combine to In
tenslfy the coal shortage of the late fall and winter months. There are
Immense crops all over the country
which will have to be moved to mar
ket and the grain trade will tax the
transportation facilities of the rail
roads severely. In fact the railroad
feel now that after their greatest ex
ertlons have been used to move th
crops eastward there will still be un usual congestion in the primary mar
kets and in the country elevators. Thl
being the case the farmers will have
to wait their opportunity to send thel
crops to market. Kvery available wheel will be in continuous service and still the roads will not be able to move the crops fast enough to satisfy the demand. The anthracite mines of the country are far behind In the matter of
I production. There has been a two
months' season of shutdowns at the mines on account of labor troubles. Since that the mines have not been operated up to capacity on account of shortage of labor. As a consequence the product did not begin to move with the accustomed rapidity and it will require, an unexampled number of cars during the latter part of the season in tho exertions to supply the pressing demand.

Horse Gives Alarm. Hammond police last night called up
the Gary station and said that Fred Raymer of Gary had his horse and buggy stolen in that clty.

BIG HEAVIES TO-NIGHT
New York, Aug. 19. Three heavy
weight battles of ten rounds each will be decided in Madison Square Garden
tonight.
Joe Jeannette. who is believed to
have a chance to whip Jack Johnson
when they come together here next
month, will meet Jeff Madden, a Bos
ton heavyweight, who has convinced many ring Judges that he possesses
natural fighting ability and can hit like the kick of a mule, 'jeannette
cannot afford to let the fellow stay the limit, but it remains to be seen whether Madden can be stopped or
not. Madden weighs 210 pounds.
while Jeannette scales 195.
Luther McCarty, one of our budding
white hopes, is slated to go ten rounds
with Arthur Pelky, a dangerous young
slugger from Chlcopee, Mass. Mc
Carty, who stopped Carl Morris, made a disappointing showing against Jim
Stewart two weeks tgo, but he was not signally whipped and is anxious for another match. McCarty also wants to get on with Palzer. For
these reasons McCarty Is going after
Pelky to prove that his victory over
Morris - was not a fluke. McCarty
weighs 204 and Pelky 201, the former
having - an . advantage in .height and
reach, but not in experience.
Tom Kennedy, who hasn't been seen
in the ring since Bombardier Wells beat him, is coming back in a scrap with Jim Ravage, who is said to have
plenty of skill and the punch to back
it.
