two  days  of  unbridled 
have  had

sport  and  settled  down  again

good  reason 
this,  for  under

the  able  management  of  our  trainer, 
the  M.  A.  C.  boys 
Max  Beutner, 
gained  supremacy  at  nearly  every 
turn.  Unstinted  praise  is  also  due 
Mr.  Beutner  for  his  untiring  efforts, 
and  success  too,  in  bringing  up  and 
keeping  up  the  class  work  of  his 
teams.

credit  to  M r.  J.  H.  W o od  for  valu 
able  assistance 
to  the  wrestlers,  to 
which 
the  success  of 
indoor 
the 
thor 
meet  was  largely  due.  T h us 
oughly  prepared, our  boys  laid  aside 
books  at  noon  Thursday  and  gave 
themselves  up  to  the  enjoyment  of 
the  most  successful 
field  day  ever 
held  at  M.  A.  C.

In  the  evening  the  armory  was 
thrown  open  and  an  informal  recep 
tion  and  hop extended  to  the  visitors, 
of  whom  a  few  were  present  from 
Hillsdale,  Olivet,  Albion,  and  Kala 
mazoo.  Before  the  evening  was  far 
advanced,  however,  a  large  delega 
tion  of  young  women  from 
the 
Normal  arrived,  and  the  crowd  thus 
augmented  enjoyed  dancing  until  10 
o'clock.

tedious  and  ragged  game  that  lasted 
nearly  three  hours.  Ypsilanti  took 
the  lead  in  the  first  inning  and  held

It  was  a  well 
played  game,  full  of  brilliant  plays, 
and  especially  remarkable  for 
the 
record  of  19 strike-outs  for  Calhoun, 
the  Kalamazoo  pitcher. 

In  tennis  at  the  College,  Albion 
won  men's  doubles  from  M.  A.  C.

FRIDAY  EVENING—INDOOR  MEET. 

By  8:30  o'clock  the  new  armory 
in  Lansing  was  crowded  with  boist 
erous,  rollicking,  good-natured  stu 
see 
dents  who  had  assembled 
to 
Albion  take  all  the  firsts 
in  wrest 
ling;  that

is, if 
Albion  students  were  to  be  consid 
ered 
trustworthy.  This  meet  fur 
nished  some  of  the  greatest  surprises 
and  rarest  sport  of  field  day. 
In 
the  light  of  our  experience  last  year, 
we  really  did  not  expect  much,  and 
so felt  quite  highly  elated  when  upon 
summing  up  our  victories  we  found 
three  firsts,  two  seconds  and 
two 
thirds—a  total  of  23  points  out  of  a 
possible  60.

brought  Woodhams  and  Finch  to

finals.  A  six-mintite

the  wildest  enthusiasm  Finch  landed

In  feather  weight  wrestling,  Hill-
man,  M.  A.  C,  clearly  outclassed  all 
other  contestants,  and  his  bout  with 
Hoxie,  Ypsilanti,  was 
the  most 
amusing  event  of  field  day.  Hoxie, 
lean  as  the  proverbial  bean  pole, 
took  a  flying 
leap  in  the  air  and 
when  he  came  down  on  little  Max 
there  was  a  mix-up  of  arms,  legs 
and  claws  that  resembled  a  bout  be

but  the  under  cat  bided  his  time  and 
when  the  fur  cleared  away  Hoxie 
was  on  his  back.  Hillman  after

A  D ay at  Henley  Regatta. 

T.  H.  SPINDLO  ' 0 2, UNION  LITERARY 
SOCIETY. 
Henley  Regatta,  with  its  almost 
classic  races,  its  beautiful  surround 
ings  and  unrivalled  display  of  colors, 
has  been  written  about  so often  that 
fin  attempt  at  a  description  here 
would  be out of  place,  but perhaps a 
portrayal  of the  events of a day  spent 
there,  as they  occurred  to an  ordinary 
party  of  pleasure  seekers, will  be  of 
some  interest. 

the  back 

We  were  a  merry  party 

that 
started  off that  bright  summer  morn 
ing  for  the  regatta.  T h e re  were 
few  clouds  in  the  sky  and  fewer 
still  on  our  mind.  Everyone  w ho 
had  agreed  to  go  was  there,  the 
ladies  had managed  to  be  ready  al 
most  on time,  the  commissariat  had 
been  well  looked  after,  and, except 
for  a  few misgivings  on the part of 
some  of  the  feminine  members 
of  the  expedition  as  to  the ex 
hair, 
act  condition  of 
all  were  in  a  state  of  peace  and 
joyous  expectation.  T he  first  part 
of  our  journey  was by  road  to the 
nearest  point  of  the  Thames,  at 
W a r g r a v e,  where  we  had  hired  a 
boat  at the  " G e o r ge  and Dragon," a 
somewhat 
hotel 
boasting  a  sign  painted  by  t wo 
R o y al  Acadamicians,  Leslie  and 
that 
Hodgson.  T he  story  goes 
while  staying  there  they  were  one 
indoors  by  very  wet 
day  kept 
they 
weather  and to pass  the  time 
agreed  to  paint  a sign.  This 
they 
did, Leslie  depicting  on  one  side, the 
valiant  knight  fighting  the  dragon, 
and  Hodgson  portraying  the  scene 
after  the battle,  where  St. George is 
so  far forgetting  the  dignity  of his 
saintly  knighthood  as to be  refresh

riverside 

noted 

W a r g r a ve  is a very  pretty  village, 
and  in  spite  of  its  name  has  had 
nothing  to do with  w ar or the  bury 
ing of war.  At the  time  the  Domes 
day  Book  was  compiled  there  was a 
weir  in  the  river  here  and  a  fine 
grove  of  trees  leading  down  to it, 
hence  the  name  Weirgrove,  which 
through  many  changes  of  Weir 
grove,  Waergroeve,  Wergraeve 
and  the like,  at length  settled  down 
to  its  present 
form.  T h us  has  a 
martial  and gruesome  name been  de 
rived  from  a  peaceful,  pastoral  sub 
ject.  But  W a r g r a ve  is  so  full  of 
places  of interest  and quaint  legends 
that  we must  hurry  away  or Henley 
will  never  be  reached. 

T he  only  boat  we could  get large 
enough  to  hold  us  all  was a  large, 

T HE  M.  A.  C.  R E C O R D. 

J U NE  6,  1899 

roomy  one  called  J u m b o. 
It  was 
rightly  named  for  I  never  saw a 
boat  more  closely  resembling  an ele 
phant  in size  and  unwieldliness, but 
when  the eleven  of us had  taken  our 
seats  and  there  was  still  room  for 
the  refreshment  basket  we  were 
thankful.  T wo  of  the men  of  the 
party  took  an oar each,  and  another 
took  a  pair  of  sculls,  while  at the 
other  end  of  the  boat  one of  the 
girls  took  the lines  to  steer.  H o w 
ever,  after  nearly  colliding  with 
other  boats,  getting  in the way  of  a 
steam  launch, and then going  straight 
for  the bank,  we concluded  that  her 
mind  was  not  suited  to paying  atten 
tion  to  such  a  mundane  occupation 
as  steering  a large  boat  on  a crowded 
river,  so we  quietly  relieved  her of 
the  responsibility. 
T h e re  is  only 
one 
lock  between  W a r g r a ve  and 
Henley  and there  lay  our  chief  diffi 
culty,  for the crowd  of  boats  was so 
great  that  oars  could  not  be  used  and 
only  by  hanging  on 
steam 
launches  and  other  boats  could  we 
get  along;  then just  as we got  settled 
into  position  the side  stream  caught 
the  stern  of  our  boat  and in  a few 
moments  w e.  had  swung 
around 
broadside  on to the rest  of  the  river 
craft. 
It  was  an  exciting  time, and 
the  remarks  of  the  lock-keeper and 
some  of  the occupants  of  the  other 
boats  would  make  interesting  read 
ing  if  space sufficed  to  record  them. 
But  after  many  attempts  and  the  ex 
penditure  of  one  hour  and  thirty 
minutes  of time,  we got through.

On  the  Henley  side  of  t he  lock 
the  crowd  was even  greater,  but  as 
all  were  moving  in  the  one  direc 
tion  progress  was  comparatively 
easy.  Here  the house-boats  formed 
an  almost  unbroken  line  along  the 
edge  of the stream,  and they  looked 
very  pretty  with  their  tasteful  dis 
play  of  colors  and beautiful  decora 
tions  of  flowers  standing  out  bril 
liantly  against  a background  of  dark 
green  woods. 
In  a  short 

time  Henley  was 
reached  and  passing  under  the  old 
bridge  we were  soon  upon  the race 
course, where  the  dull  roar  of  voices 
from  river  and  bank  was  almost as 
bewildering  to the  ears  as the lavish 
display  of  color  was  to  the e y e; 
for  men  as well  as women  bring out 
their  brightest;  and  hats,  blazers, 
shirts,  sunshades,  dresses,  and  flow 
ers  combine  to  make  a  very  gay 
scene. 

T he  mass  of  river  craft  was so 
great  that  oarS  had  to  be  shipped, 
and  we  rested  while  the  stream  or 
the  crowding  of  boats  drifted  us 
first  one  way then  another  until we 
found  ourselves  pushed  up  close  to 
the  bank.  T h en  we  decided  to  ex 
amine  the  contents  of  the  refresh 
ment  basket.  I  may  say  that  we  had 
been  exploring  there,  in  a  cursory 
manner,  nearly  all the  time, but  now 
we  settled  down  in real  earnest and 
got  at  the  contents  of  that  basket 
right  down  to  the bottom-most  pie. 
It  was  a novel  and  enjoyable  dinner, 
sitting  there  so near  to, yet quite  un 
disturbed  by, the  crowd  upon  the 
river  and the crowd  upon  the shore. 
F r om 
came  the 
sounds  of  music  of  small  orchestras; 
harps  of  musicians  were  passing  up 
and  down  from  point  to  point,  ren 
dering  in  most  cases  really  good 
music; on  the  shore  itinerant  vendors 
of  ice cream,  iced  drinks,  strawber 
ries,  cherries,  souvenirs,  etc.  were 
shouting  their  prices  and the excel 
lence  of  their  goods;  at every  avail 
able  spot  conjurors  of  various  kinds, 
weight-lifters, 
a r r o w - t h r o w e r s, 
thought-readers,  and  strong  men 
were  attracting  or  keeping  a  crowd

around  themselves,  each  one sure of 
a  good  reward  for  his  outlay  of 
energy  and  skill, for extravagance  is 
the  order  of  the  day  and  anyone 
proffering  a  good  article  is sure  of a 
good  price.  Some  of 
little 
bands  of  performers  make  as  high 
as  $100  a day  for each  of  the three 
days  of  the regatta. 
In  everything 
prices  rule  high,  house  rent,  espec 
ially,  being  exorbitant;  $500  for 
the  use  of a house  for  three  weeks 
including  the  regatta  week  is quite 
a  common  sum,  and  as  high  as 
$1000  to $1200  has  often  been  paid. 
finishing  our 
dinner 
for  the 
the  bell  sounded 
course  to be cleared,  and a  scramble 
immediately  ensued,  for,  with  the 
river  crowded  to  excess,  it is  an  ex 
tremely  difficult  matter  to  pack the 
boats  along  on either  side  far  enough 
out  of  the  w a y, but  the  T h a m es 
Conservancy  men  came  along  in 
boats  and  with  much  tact  and skill 
soon  had the course  clear.  T h en we 
waited  until  t wo long  boats,  each 
containing  a row  of  broad,  swaying 
backs,  shot  past,  closely  followed by 
the  umpire's  steam  launch,  and in a 
moment  the  river  was full  of gay 
movement  again.  These  races oc 
curred  at intervals  of  thirty  minutes, 
but  to  us  they  were  of  minor  im 
portance. 

Later  in the day about  half  of our 
party  went  ashore,  leaving  the boat 
in  charge  of the rest  of us.  A  place 
and  time  was  arranged  for  meeting 
again,  but at the appointed  time and 
place  the .land  party  could  not be 
found  so one  fellow  went  to look  for 
them.  After  a  time  he  found  t wo 
of  them  w ho  had  lost  the  rest, and 
together  they  continued  the search; 
but  in t he meantime  the  others had 
found  the  boat,  and  learning  the 
state  of  affairs,  one of  their  number 
started  to  find  the  missing  ones; 
just  as  he  had  disappeared, 
then 
those  he sought  turned u p. 

" D id  you  see H a r ry  ?"  shouted 

one  from  the boat. 

«  N o ." 
"  Well  he  has  only  just  gone  to 
look  for  you.  One of  you go up 
the  river  and one down.  He  can't 
be  far  away."

So  off  went  t wo  in  search  of 
Harry,  and this  sort  of  thing  went 
on  for about  an hour,  and we  began 
to  wonder  if  we  should  ever  meet 
together  again.  But  some  strange 
turn  of  Fortune's  wheel  did  the 
trick  for  us,  and  we  were  so  re 
lieved  that  we decided  to stay  to  see

These  began  at 
half-past  nine,  and  the  first  thing 
done  was  to  send  up  a  mass  of 
luminous  pink  vapor 
amongst  a 
row  of  elm trees,  which  made  their 
branches  and  leaves  look  like  a  re

fairyland. 
T he  effect  was  wonderfully  pretty 
and  it  formed  a good  background 
for  the  set  pieces.  T he  display 
lasted  over  an  hour  and was  really 
splendid,  but it  was  almost  equalled 
by  the scene  upon  the water,  where 
hundreds  of  boats  were  moving 
about in the  semi-darkness,  decorated 
with  multi-colored 
lanterns;  the 
arches  and  piers'  of  the  bridge  a 
lights,  and  each 
mass  of  colored 
house-boat  vieing  with  its neighbors 
for  supremacy  in  brilliancy  of  color 
or  beauty  of  design.  All  this  in 
itself  and its moving,  waving  reflec 
tion  upon  the  water  made  a  scene 
well  worth  staying for. 

By  eleven  o'clock  practically  all 
was  over  and we  started  for  home, 
which  we reached  in the " wee  sma' 
hours," tired  but perfectly  contented 
with  the good  time we had  enjoyed.

W.  S.  L E O N A R D. 

I  desire  to  call  attention,  through 
your  columns,  to  the little  book  by 
R e v.  Charles  M.  Sheldon,  which 
has  just  been  presented  to the libra 
ry.  " In  His  S t e p s"  or 
" W h at 
Would  Jesus  D o ?" has  no  doubt 
been  read  by some  of  the  College 
people,  but in view  of  the great  de 
mand  for  the  book in other  localities, 
I  was  surprised  to  be  informed  by 
Mrs.  Landon  that  there  had  been 
no  call  for it at  t he library. 

R e v.  E. B. Allen,  w ho  is  preach 
ing  a series  of  sermons  on the ques 
tion  emphasized  in  the  book,  had 
this to say in his  introductory.  " No 
book  since  the  time  of  'Uncle  T o m 's 
C a b i n'  has  struck  such  a  vein  of 
popular  favor." 
" Up  to  this  time 
there  have  been  3,000,000  copies of 
' In  His  S t e p s'  sold  in Great  Britain. 
In  six months  the  circulation  of the 
book  far surpassed  the total  circula 
tion  of  Mrs.  H e n ry  Wood's  novels 
'East  Lynne,'  which 
in  forty  years. 
than 
has  had  a  larger  circulation 
any  other  English  copyright  novel, 
reached  480,000  copies. 
has  only 
'Beside 
the  Bonnie  Brier  Bush' 
reached  90,000.  These  are  paltry 
figures  beside  the  millions  of  Shel 
don's  book."  "I  find  varied  state 
ments  of the number  sold  in  Ameri 
ca.  N o ne  are lower  than  500,000." 
T h at  this  little  book  should  gain 
for  itself  such  a  footing  in  competi 
tion  with  the  endless  number  and 
variety  of  other  books  before  the 
public,  might  indicate  that  there w aj 
something  very  new  and startling in 
its  pages.  But  such  is not the case. 
Unless  a practical  application  of the 
teachings  of  Christ  is  new  there  is 
absolutely  nothing  novel  in the  book. 
And 
this  is  the  charge  the  book 
brings  against  u s; namely,  that  the 
generality  of  Christians  are not  in 
any  adequate  sense  practicing  the 
religion  of  Christ.  We need  to  re 
consider  our  definition  of  Christian 
discipleship.  N o t h i ng  short of a re 
vival  of the martyr  spirit of  apostolic 
days  is  sufficient  to  cope  with  the 
problems  which  confront  the  Christ 
ian  world  today.  Christ  has not a 
different  standard  now  from  that  de 
livered  to the early  churches.  "  T he 
call of the cross " is still  a call to a life 
of self-sacrifice.  T he soldier is willing 
to 
ties  and 
pecuniary  advantages  for his  country 
and  for fame.  T he Christian  must 
be  willing  to  sacrifice  all  things, if 
need  be,  for Christ  and  humanity. 

sacrifice  all  earthly 

If  one  should  attempt  to  formulate 
the  teaching  of  R e v.  Sheldon's  book 
in  a  few  propositions  they  would 
read  something  like  the  following: 
T he  person  w ho has  inherited,  or 
otherwise  come  into  the  possession 
of  wealth,  is  justified  only  by  using 
this  wealth  for  the  good  of his fel 
lows.  T he inventor,  w ho  has been 
permitted  by  the  Almighty  to  dis 
cover  some  n ew  application  of na 
tural  law,  has no moral  right  to  use 
this  for his own  private  ends  exclu 
sively,  but is merely  God's  steward. 
T he  individual  w ho  has  had the  ad 
vantage  of  a  liberal  education,  is 
bound  by  the law  of  Christ  to use 
this  advantage, not for himself  alone, 
but  for society in general. 
In  short, 
every  talent,  every  privilege,  every 
advantage  is  to  be  used  in  connec 
tion  with  the  text,  "  W h at  would 
Jesus  do ?" 
Does 

this  seem  hard  ?  Does  it 
look  like  slavery  ?  Read  " In His

Sheldon  approaches  the  subject,  not

He  thus  steers  clear  of  the  prejudice

Only 

the  relay  race 

three  events  remained  for 
the  afternoon,  but  so  great  was  the 
interest  in  the 
final  baseball  game 
and 
that  the  grand 
stand  was  crowded  and  hundreds 
the  other  side  of 
were  lined  up  on 
the  track  before  the  first  event  was 
called. 
T he 

high  kick  was  won  by 
Hoxie,  Ypsilanti,  with  T h o r n e,  Y p-
silanti, second  and  Depew,  Hillsdale, 
third.  H i g h t,  8  feet,  6  inches.

T h en  came  the  relay  race.  Five 
teams  started  and 
these 
were  conspicuous  at  the  finish.  Kal 
amazoo  had  held  the  cup  one  year 
and  hoped  to  win  it  again,  but  Al 
bion 
thought  otherwise.  Russell 
and  Christopher  took  a good  lead  for 
M.  A.  C.  in  the  first  two  quarters 
but  through  an  unfortunate  misun 
derstanding,  E d g ar  did not  get  away 
on  the  third  quarter  until  all  the  oth 
ers  were  ahead  of  him.  He  could 
not  regain  his 
loss,  and  although 
Curtis  ran  a  fine  quarter  he could  not 
overcome 
the  handicap.  T he  race 
between  Albion  and  Kalamazoo  was 
in  doubt  till  the  finish  but  Albion 
won  by  a  few  yards,  and  the 
finish 
was  a  signal  for  the  wildest  demon 
strations  by  the  wearers  of  the  pink 
and  green.
