TOM GARRETT IS ABSENT
Star Feature In Multnomah Club
"Social" Arfalr Delayed, but In
structor CHiill "Puts Over"
Some Clever Tricks.
Tom Garrett, the Multnomah Club's
best swimmer, could not appear last
night at the regular weekly "social
swim." Therefore the contest between
him and Louis Thomas, another speedy
swimmer, in the competition against
th. world's record. was postponed.
However, the large gallery of specta
tora and the tank full of men and
women swimmers, saw the best ex
hibition of swimming ever given In
Portland.
Arthur Cavill, the former Australian
champion, went through his repertoire
of tricks In the water, and incidentally
showed one of the latest creations In
aquatics. Mr. Cavill. among other
things, undressed himself from his
street attire under water and took a
nap beneath the surface of th. tank,
stajing under water more than three
minutes. Then Mr. Cavill did a trick
of falling Into the tank fully dressed
and crawling the full length of the
tank and emerging after being under
the water several minutes.
Frank Gross, the T. M. C A. cham
pion, swam In two exhibition swims
against Thomas, of the Multnomah
Club. They awam both the 100 and 210
yard, finishing with dead heats. Later,
a fat man's race between Schade and
McClure was held. Schade winning by
a yard In a RO-yard race.
Th. largest crowd of the season was
present. It Is planned by Chairman
Jeffrey, of the Multnomah Club swim
ming committee, to have new features
for each of th. "social swims" to be
held before the swimming season at
Multnomah ends for the year. Many
of the club swimmers are training for
the Rose Festival s-wlmming carnival,
which will be the biggest swimming
event ever held In the Northwest.

N the opinion of the Syndics
of the Cambridge University
Press, the new Encyclopaedia
Britannica is
flThe most useful book for rapid
reference as veil as the most
comprehensive and authoritative
repository of information that has
ever been published. It is confi
dently expected that this opinion
will be generally . endorsed by
Enfflish-8peakinsf people through
out the world. The advantages of
the New Work over all other en
cyclopaedia consists: (1) Of the
manner in which the Editorial
staff have dealt with the literary
contents; (2) the wider scope of
the work; and (3) the presenta
tion of ' the contents- as a whole
with a view to making the acqui
sition of knowledge immediate,
attractive .aad instructive. While
the principle of exhaustive treat
ment has been preserved through
out, the new ediion possesses
Greater convenience of arrange
ment combined with greater fa
cility of reference ; all major sub
jects were sub-divided into minor
headings, which were dealt with
separately and more fully in their
alphabetical places, often by spe
cialists who wrote the main arti
cles. It will, therefore, be easy
to find one's way about in this
vast storehouse of knowledge sim
ply by looking up the obvious
word. This arrangement whereby
General subjects were consid
ered apart from subsidiary en
abled the Editors to treat each of
the constituent parts on its mer
its. There was, consequently, no
overlapping and no repetition, all
the parts being co-ordinated and
each having an organic unity in
relation to the rest. The work
will be found to be not only more
consistent than ever berore but to
contain more than twice as much
information as the Xinth Edition,
in little more than the same space.
Thousands of short articles,
through the scientific plan of
guiding the reader from the gen
eral to the particular, of direct
ing him to the most natural head
ing, have found a place in the En
cyclopaedia Britannica foi the
first time. Owing to the greater
facilities for quick reference,
If Its increased utility will be ap
parent. Supposing that an ac
count of the Crimean War is re
quired, the reader will not have
to refer to histories of England,
France and Russia in succession,
as in the Ninth Edition, but will
turn to Crimea; or, should the
battle of Waterloo be the subject
for reference, an account will be
found under the name,, and it will
be only incidentally referred to
(but with cross reference) in- the
General articles on France and
England. Then, too.
Dictionary Definitions have been
given to scientific and technical terms
as well as to all words having a com
plicated meaning or an interesting his
tory. The book is, therefore, self-explanatory.
The Encyclopaedia Britan
nica (11th Edition) will further be
found to be s
U A more readable book than ever be
fore. It was the Editor's constant aim
to make the new edition an instrument
of popular culture, intelligible and in
teresting throughout to "the man in
the street," while instructive to schol
ars. The most complex subjects are
treated in the simplest language. It
is not necessary, for instance, to be a
scientist to read with pleasure the sci
entific articles by Ixird Rayleigh,
Chancellor of the University of Cam
bridge. But though the simplicity is
greater,
TJThe authority of the book is on an
even higher level than in the case, of
the last edition. The scholarship and
the best practical knowledge of the
civilized world have co-operated. All
encyclopaedias heretofore had a natu
ral limitation, having been written by
Americans for Americans, by English
men for Englishmen, by Frenchmen
for Frenchmen, and by Germans for
Germans. But in the case of the new
Encyclopaedia Britannica, leading ru
thorities, who were considered the
most capablexof imparting their knowl
edge, were chosen without regard to
country.
flA cosmopolitan point of view charac
terized the efforts of the Editors
throughout. They realize that scholar
ship today knows no nationarity; thu3
pjany American scholars and experts
(besides French, German and It-ilian)
were held to have supplanted nil oth
ers in certain branches. "Feudalism,"

ANEW Edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britan
nica, the ELEVENTH (the
first having been issued in
1768-71), is now being pub
lished by The Cambridge
University Press, England.
No completely new edition
has appeared since the
Ninth, which was issued vol
ume by volume between
1875-89. The copyright and
control of this celebrated
work having passed into the
keeping of the University of
Cambridge, it will be issued
henceforth as a University
publication. The new (11th)
Edition will consist of 28
for example, has been dealt with by
Prof. G. B. Adams, of Yale; "Climat
ology," by Prof. R. C. de Ward, cf
Harvard; the "History of Aneieat
China," by Prof. Hirth, of Columbia;
"Mohammedan Law and Institu
tions," by Prof. D. B. Macdonald, of
the Hartford Theological Seminary
and 64 articles connected with Persian
history have been written bv Prof.
Eduard Meyer, of Berlin to cite only
a few of such cases.
TJThe 1500 Contributors include Chan
cellors, Presidents, professors and lec
turers of 81 universities and colleges
in all countries besides men cf ac
tion, soldiers, sailors, men of affairs,
jurists, administrators, archaeologists,
surgeons, physicians, editors, artists,
inventors, explorers, engineers, sports
men, manufacturers, and financiars,
as well as hundreds of
Practical Experts, who may be said
to have paused in their activities to
give of their experience. Many arti
cles abound, therefore, with exclusive
information which will be the basis
for the doings and conclusions of the
next generation.
The articles on Archaeology possess
cxtraorcfinary interest, inasmuch as
they are based on the knowledge of
the men who did the work of recent
excavations in Egypt, Babylonia,
Rhodesia, Mexico, Central America,
Peru and elsewhere and never before
publisLed. They are supplemented by
many valuable plates.
An index to the world's books is
provided by the simple means of ap
pending to every article of imuortance
a list of books worth reading :n con
nection with it. Thus the Encyclopae
dia Britannica (11th Edition) is now
not only a great work of reference in
itself, but an index to the most val
uable literature. In completion of this
idea there are full and concise Bibli
ographies The historical Bibliographies consti
tuting a catalogue raisonne of the
whole mass of historical literature ex
tant. The excellence of this work may
be gathered from the fact that the
bibliography of the history of France
five columns of small type was
prepared by Dr. Charles Bemont, who
is probably the foremost of living
French historians; that of English his
tory by Prof. A. F. Pollard, of the
University of London; that. of Greek
history 14 columns by the Rev. E.
M. Walker, one of the most successful
of Oxford tutors: and that of Roman
history, by Mr. Stuart-Jones, of Ox
ford, on whom has fallen the mantle
of the late Prof. Pelham. Inasmuch
as the
Contributors were put at work sim
ultaneously, their attention was di
ercted to the work as a whole, and
their manuscripts were analyzed and
indexed before a single page was sent
to the printers. In the case of the
Ninth Edition, the interval between
the appearance of the first and the
25th volume was 14 years'. In the
case of this edition
The 28 volumes and Index are to be
issued simultaneously, so that the
work will be of uniform valne to the
reader. The piecemeal method of pub
lishing was satisfactory only to the
publishers, who issued each successive
volume with the proceeds of the sale
of the preceding one.
fl 163,000 ($815,000) has been the ed
itorial expense of the new (Eleventh)
Edition, as against' 60,000 of the
Ninth, and the total expenses, includ
ing the cost of maps, colored plates,
illustrations, typesetting and office
expenses, has amounted to 2.10.000
($1,150,000) before a single copy is
sold.
flA Complete Classical History is com
prised under more than 500 headings,
and for the first time in the Encyclo
paedia Britannica. '
fl Biographies of Living Persons are
included, so that the reader may be
acquainted with celebrities of all na
tionalities down to the present day.
flThe new knowledge gained during
the last 25 year3 has been dealt with
most exhaustively, especially with re
gard to Science and Geography. All
countries that have sprung suddenly
into political and commercial impor
tance are particularly considered at
length.
Modern Africa, for example, with its
history, geography, geology and eth
nology, is treated by experts in 43
pages (69,000 words), Japan in 118
pages (188,000 words), and China in
68 pages (98,000 words). Indeed, it
may be said that the collected articles
on each of these, as on many other
subjects, could form separate books
averaging 100,000 words each. Its
comprehensiveness, in this rpspect,
makes the Encyclopaedia Britannica
(11th Edition) also
flA Handbook of Commerce and Fi
nance, a handbook of Astronomy, Bot
any, Medicine, Theology, and Law; in
every case the articles on these sub
jects being the work of authorities. It
is a practical work for the modern
man of action written in language
that is simple and sufficient, and
further made attractive by
flOver 7000 Text Illustrations, all of
