In the Cald Tanubauste, at Carlsruhe, sa artisan named Siepmann, in moving his chair struck the chair of Lieutenant von Breusewis, This was not immediately consigned as an insult, and persons sitting at Slepmann's table first became aware that the Lieutenant was angry when he asked the landlord to put Siepmann ant. Thereupon Stepmann rose sad explained that he knew nothing of Brensewits, and wished to have noiblog to do with him. He left the room for a few mlantes, but afterward returned, resuming his scat without agalo touching the Lieutenant's chair.

After some time Brousewlis went to Siepmann and asked him to apologize. This he declined to do, saying he was not aware of having losulted any one Breusewitz repeated the request Slepmann replied: "I have nothing further to say" The officer drew his sabre, and would have struck Stepmain had not the fatter sprang behind the table.

TRAINING FOR THE REGATTA. Training for the Regatta is now in full swing, but, strange to say, water sports seem to have lost fxvant to a grest extent since the bicycle crazy commenced. For the Chairman's Challenge Cup five crews have entered, and a few good names appear smorget them. The crews cap- taleed by R F. Lammert, Hayward and Arm. strong have done most work so fax, and the others will have to act steadily to work if they Intend to have any show in the race at all. Kornblume, F. Lammert's bast, raas possibly be scratched owing to the indisposition of Fre- dericks, Meek's crew should be good, but will do nothing without hard work. For the German Cap. F. Lammest's crew is showing up well, trafológ carefully and steadily and the others will have all their work cut out to beat them, Harward and R. F. Lammert have strong crews which should show op well if training is carried on steadily.

The International is only represented by three crews this year, English, Scatch and German, though no ore appears to know exactly who constitute the latter. What has become of the Irish this year? Surely we have suficient sons of Erla to form a crew for the Regatta, and if so, why don't they come to the front for the honour of the Emerald Talo? What the Engilsh crew lack lo stemlox they are rapidly making up by careful training, and from | baw to stroke the crew intend to make a struggle | to uphold the honour of their country. The Scotch, under the able coaching of Mr. Caldwell, are coming out strong and the race is likely to rest between the representatives of Great Biliniu,

• What seems to be wrong with the training is that our "old young men " will not give up the wlly cigarette or more humble pipe, while late hours are not conducive to good training, If any decent work is intended, let the crews take the advice of an old carsman and shun late hours and tobacco as they would the plague. For the attalcment of physical development early hours, careful living and abstinenca ara | imperative, and the happy-go-lucky youth who smokes his big cigar, takes his peg and retires duding the small hours, "cos training's such an awful bore, don't yer know," only makes himself * laughing-stock to the old bend, You can't go to the dogs and train at the same time.
