...Cambridge compete at Henley. So does the Leander Club which is formed almost entirely of Oxford and Cambridge men. Amongst other competitors may be mentioned the London Rowing Club, the Thames Rowing Club, the Kingston Rowing club, the Moulsey Boat Club, the Royal Chester Rowing Club, and the school boy clubs of Eton and Radley.

The author excels in word-painting, which...
...BOWERY," the phenomenally successful comedy drama in which Steve Brodie, the famous Bowery boy, has toured the country during the past three years, is the attraction at the Columbia Theatre this week.

Since last seen here an entire new scenic equipment has been provided for it. The company has been strengthened by several new people and many new specialties have been...
