It appears l'kcly that all the Fall John Augustus Rogers, a Ivcn

The manufacturers seply that such a
course wou'd destroy the small profits
now made. The spinner's union has
reso'ved 'o order a snrike in five of
the mills, but which those mills are
and exact 'y when the strike w-11 begin
are the secrets of the executive com
mittee. The strikers count on finan
cial help rrom employes of the other
milk, but the manufacturers say that
a general s.oppage will follow the first)
de lions ration. Heavy h.osses to both
parlies arc anticipated, and much
fiuffer'ng to the workers.

Thc.c is oiie special reason for
rejoicing over the victory which
IIai.la.il, th oarsman, won so easily
over-on the Tyne. Haiilun was the
man to whom at the Centennial re
gatta had beiMi awaided the cham
pionship for single sculls, to the
jrrcat disgust of his English com
petitors and their friends, who had j
-'never heard of him. that was
the trouble, too, with the Ameri
cans, who wrested the four-oared
amateur championshp from the
astounding and indignant London
Rowing Club. This great club
whose members had come over
here for an e sy victory, had never
heard of u er antagonist; that a
set of men having such an unheard-
f and -almost impossible name.
ould fairly beat them, was not to
be credited. Ever since then wo
have heard about "American foul
jalay" in rowing contests. But by
ibis time his English friends have
heard of Ilanlan, one of the Cen
tennial winners. Should he go on
to take the championship from
England 1 -om Elliott, the thought
may occur tht perhaps something
else than 3 d plry gave the Cen
tennial prizes to other American
oarsmen.

Did disciples of the broad axe and
adz would open lliei- eyes in as
tou'shiiicnt ami pe 'iiaps holy hor
ror, if they could see the band saw
at Stetson and Post's eating its
w&y so rapidly through the huge
planks, following the curves an'd
lines of the draughtman with per
fect certainty. Yrhile an ordinary
ship carpenter would be rolling up
h;s sleeves and prepai ig to get
ready to go to work, the little
slender steel band- has shaped, cut
clean, exact and smooih, more ribs
than he could hew in a week. It
is but a few days since we saw the
first I02: rolled upon the carriage
at the saw mill, but the frame has
already assumed a "loeal habita
tion and a name" from which the
ve iest tyro may get some idea of
how the boat will look when ready
for launching. In sixty days from
the lading of the keel, Mr. Mitchell
intends to launch her. Men who
can read the sigrs of the times s y
that tin's city is destined to become
the Bath of "the Pacific coast.
