Grant Forrer sent a design to a New York firm with instructions to wire whether or not the medal can he made up in time. If this design can't be adopted this year because of the lack of time for preparation it will be made the permanent medallion for ether years. The loving cup which will be pre sented by the Navy to the ginning crew of the big Central-Technical- Steelton high-Academy war canoe race will also be adorned with a facsimile of the organization insignia. The cup Will be the only collective prize award ed as it has been practically decided because of the low water to eliminate the motorboat race. While the war canoe contest will be the feature race, a whole lot of spe cialties will be arranged. These will include aqua-planning an event which permits the entrant to stear himself more or less precariously on a surfboard or plank which is at tached to a motorboat and towed through the water at high speed. An obstacle canoe race In which the con testants must do all manner of things enroute to the tape—climb over flats with his canoe, pull his canoe over floating logs, these are a few of things he must do; a race in which three men standing will paddle a canoe with dou ble paddles is another event; tub, um brella races and tilting matches will complete the feature program. Then there will be 100-yard swims for boys, girls and for men over 16; quarter mile canoe race for men, half mile canoe race for men, and mixed crews; quarter mile swim for boys for which medals will be awarded. In the other ievents suitcases, umbrellas canoe pad dles, back rests, cushions, cameras, fountain pens and similar articles will ibe awarded as prizes.

MARKS & SON Fourth and Market Streets Snake Strikes Coat Tail, Fang Poisons Man Later Wellsboro, Pa., Aug. 17.—Oliver D. Spencer, caretaker for cottages n the Pine Creek gorge, was "bitten" by a rattlesnake in a manner that has no parallel. Cottagers had seen a snake between the Owassi clubhouse and the spring on the side hill on numerous occasions, but it seemed especially elusive. A reward of $2.50 had been placed on the serpent's heac}. Spencer was on his way to the spring to get water and passed a stump close to the beaten path on which the snake lay coiled. He didn't notice it, but he did see something coming his way, and sidestepped just in time to avoid the blow. The snake hit the tail of his coat, dropped to the ground, and Spencer earned the reward with some well-directed blows. Spencer returned to the cottage with his trophy, and as he raised his coat tails to sit down to breakfast his thumb came in contact with a portion of a fang of the snake which had been broken off. The fang penetrated the thumb and there was enough poison on it to inoculate Spencer. He became deathly sick, and his arm swelled badly. He received immediate, however, and will recover. He has kept the broken fang of the snake and the hole in his coat where it was broken off to help sub stantiate the tale.
