greatest event In the city's history.
Foundations have been laid for a court
of honor of decorated wooden pillars
and arches to stretch along Mount Ver

live, and storekeepers nnd householders
began to freshen up the patriotic em

tion ceremonies will take place, painters
nnd carpenters are making over the
County Fair auditorium for the great
occasion, while the city's whole com
mercial machinery, from hotels to sand
wich stands, is being overhauled on a
scale never dreamed of here before.

BLISS DEFIES ST. SWITHIN
Weatherman Declares for Clear
Week-End Despite Saint
"I don't care what St. Swlthln says,
nil indications point to fair weather nil
the rest of today and tomorrow, too,"
paid the weather man. "and the tem
perature will be moderate over the
week-end, with gentle, vnriable winds. "
Week-enders apparently scouted the
St. Swlthln prophecy of forty days' rain
because it rained on St. Swlthin's Day.
Thursday, and crowded the railroad
terminals and ferries bound for seashore
resorts.
In the weather league, St. Swlthln
claims a victory yesterday for liii Woe
ful Wet Sox over the Blissful Unhides,
but Manager Bliss says he will eon
test the game.
"It is claimed," said Mr. Bliss, "that
it rained in some sections of the city
yesterday, but that doesn't count. It
didn't rain in tho center of the city,
where the contest was scheduled to bo
played, and it will not rain today,
cither, if I can help it."
The weather prediction for next week
is generally fair, although probably
somewhat unsettled Monday nnd Tues

Americans Win
Davis Cup Final
Contlnvrd from rne One
played an unquestionably great game nt
periods today, they did not display the
form they showed In the match with the
Frenchmen nt Eastbourne last week,
netting far too many of their service
strokes and returns.
Tho Americans seemed to shine
against harder deliveries, and the sim
plicity of much of Parke's serving ap
parently kept inducing Johnston nnd
Tildcn to take needless risks in their
returns.
Johnston's service went beautifully
at times, many of his service shots being
unplayable winners, but a large per
centage of them were netted.
Observing this trend, the confidence
of the Englishmen grew and both of
them several times started sepsational
volleys off the hardest kind of deliveries.
Tildcn also netted numbers of service
shots, while both Americans netted nu
merous rather high returns on tho vol
ley balls on which one had grown ac
customed to sec them score.
When the match had progressed to a
point where the Englishmen led by two
sets to one, the Americans made a great
effort to pull themselves together. It
took all their skill to secure the fourth
set, which was necessary to keep them
from defeat, as their opponents then
were playing wonderfully.
In the fifth set, however, the
Americans were superlatively fine,
winning three love games and holding
the Englishmen to a single point in
the last one of the set.
Tho match was played in a dull
light, the sky heiny overcast, while a
slight drizzle was in progress a few
minutes before the match was ended.

Rowing Coach
Courtney Is Dead
Continued fio.n I'no One
race on Cavuga lake was n crude.
clumsy-looking craft which weighed
eighty pounds; and he wns ridiculed
when ho rode out to tho starting point
to line up abreast of a number of older
nnd far more experienced scullers In
their little thirty-pound shells. But
when the finish line was reached, at
the end of the three-mile cour.se, Court
ney in his clumsy boat was half a mile
ahead' of the next best man.
Winner In Ninety Contests
That was the beginning of Courtney's
brilllnnt sculling enreer. during which
as nn nmntcur he rowed in nearly ninety
contests and won them all.
A8 b professional sculler Courtney
won thirty -nine races against some of
the best oarsmen in the country and
was defeated only seven times. An
attack of Hiinstrokc in 1878 marked tic
beginning of his decline as n profession
al sculler; and in May, 1870. while
rowing against Hanlan and Riley nt
Washington, Courtney wns attacked by
illness before he lind gone 500 yards,
and thnt ended his active career as a
competitor.
Early In the '80s the Cornell Uni
versity students were Sj-lng the foun
dations of a navy. As far back as
1870 the Itliacn oarsmen hnd defeated
all the crack college crews of the coun
try at Saratoga lake, but it was nut
until Courtney took charge that Cor
nell was firmly established In rowing.
.He went there as coach
in IHHil and
from that time on the record of Cornell
crews under bi direction surpassed
thnt of any American university or col
lege. uisnppainrii nt iicniey
One of the grent dlsnnpolntments in
Courtney's career wns Cornell's failure
to win tho graud challenge cup nt
Henley, in 1805.
Courtney's grent success as a coach
was attributed not only to the Courtney
stroke nnd his technical mastery of the
art of rowing, but to his wonderful
ability in rigging shells nnd to his un
erring judgment of mcu. lie wns always
a stern disciplinarian, and in Cornell
rowing ha hnd absolute and complete
authority, ruling the situation like a
czar.
It was his boast that not a single
arsmnn developed by him at Ithuca had
ever Buffered any ill effects from row
ing. His crews always wero perfectly
conditioned, being carefully and thor
oughly trained.
After thirty-seven years of active
coaching nt Cornell, the ' Old Mnu," ns
he was affectionately termed nt Ithacn,
announced his rethement after the in
tercollegiate regatta at l'oughkeep.sie in
11)10. He did not sever his connection
with Cornell, however, but insisted on
his maintaining inlluence and authority
over tho oarsmen even though it weie
only In an pdvisory capacity.
Sustains Fractured Skull
During tho trip from Cornell to
Poughkeepsie In the spring of 1015 with
the crews Courtney sustained a fracture
of the skull by being thrown violently
against a beith In the sleeping car
through a lurch of the fast going ex
press train. From that time lie was
almost continually under the cure of
physicians so mat ins retiiemcnt the
following year was not unexpected.
Courtney was n wonderful judge of
rowing mnteriai, even in the rough, and
although strict and severe nt all times,
wouiu hpcuu iiuurs wiwi einuryo oars
leu who showed, promlxe nnd a desire
to learn the art of sweep swinging. He
vould never brook interference from any
quarter during the lowing season nnd
never forgnvo those candidates who
broke training. Time and again
Courtney dismissed a inun or u whole
crew out of thu shell because they
violated his rules ami they never cuiu'u
back.
In rowing ho was an autocrat nn.i
martinet, but ho produced results; had
the support ot tne faculty, nlumnl nnd
Htudcnt body nt Cornell, und it will
be hard to replace the "Old Mnu" in
the affections of those connected with
the Ithaca University.

HIGH COSTS ARE BLAMED
Tho Frazcr Boys' Farm, at Frazcr,
Pa., the correctional institution to
which the Municipal Court commits de
linquent boys, went Into bankruptcy
today.
Tho farm Is conducted by Fred. C.
Wilson. For years he nnd hi? wife hnvo
b'cen giving the boys', eritrustcd to them
by the city, physical and mental cor
rectional treatment. There are between
twenty-five and thirty boys thcro con
stantly. Mr. Wilson is also n probation
officer of the Municipal Court.
It was said tho direct causo of the
bankruptcy was brjuging of foreclosure
proceedings by the holder of n second
mortgage for $38,000 against the farm.
Mr. Wilson's liabilities arc scheduled
at $77,703.18 and his nominal assets at
$00,200.05. The real estate of the farm,
assessed at $00,000, with n total of
$08,000 against it In mortgages, Is tho
principal asset. According to Mr. Wil
son's counsel, the form has been a losing
proposition, in spito of the fact that the
Municipal Court pays for the boys acnt
hrri. Thla has been because of the
greatly increased cost of all commodities,

BIG THINGS BEGUN,
SAYS LLOYD GEORGE
Spa, Belgium, July 17. (By A. P.)
The conference hero between the
allied chiefs nnd the representatives of
Germany is the beginning of big things,
Premier Lloyd George declared today, in
summing up the result of the last fort
night's sharp fencing with the Germans,
which ended in Germany signing the
coal protocol,
"We will do our best to carry out
tho agreements entered Into here,"
Dr. Walter Simons, the German foreign
minister, said.
Lloyd George was greatly improssed
by the lenders of the German delegation
and Indicnted that he had a high opin
ion of bqth Konstantin Fehrcnbac.h, the
German chancellor, and Doctor Simons.
The British prime minister expressed
the belief that they undoubtedly regard
the Versailles Treaty as very harsh and
thnt they are not sure they can carry
It out, but are honestly determined to
do tho best they cnn.
Lloyd George said It would havo been
an immense advantage If Americans
had participated in the conference bo
cause. lie added, they would havo
brought to It n viewpoint free from
European rivalries.
Allied governments will take appro
priate measures to assist Germany in
floating loans intended to meet her in
ternal requirements and to assist her in
tho prompt discharge of her debt to the
Allies, according to on agreement which
hns been signed by representatives of
Great Britain. France, Italy, Japan,
Belgium nnd Portugal, settling prob
lems rclntlvn to rcpaiatlons.
The distribution of indemnities re
ceived from Austria-Hungary nnd Bul
garia was also provided for in the
agreement.
Belgium Is given priority In the pay
ment of 2,500,000,000 francs nnd the
agreement enumerates the securities for
such priority. Tho Allies also arranged
for a method of valuing the ships sur
rendered by Gcrmnny nnd her allies
under the various treaties, as well as
the allocation of these vessels. Surren
dered warships, docks and other war
materials were also dealt with by the
entente nations' delegates.
One of the articles of the agreement,
fixing tho cost of tho occupation armies
on a uniform bnsls, was not cone uded,
It being desired to discuss this matter
with the United States before final ad
justment of the problem.
Paris, July 17. (By A. P.) In
demnities received by the Allies from
Aiutrla, Hungary and Bulgaiia will be
divided into two equal portions, ac
cording to advices received from Spa.
The first half, will be distributed to the
various nations in the same propor
tions ns were decided upon in appor
tioning Germnn reparations. Of the
second half, Italy will recclvo 30 per
cent and the rest will be divided be
tween Serbia. Rumania and Greece.
The claims of Poland will bo decided
upon later.
