W. McClellan First Place in Second of Conant Cup Races, With Hart Brothers Second and Douglas Conant * Third MUCH EXCITEMENT ATTENDED RACE Crews of Three Dinghies Had to be Rescued After Boats Capsized -- R. H. Vickery Got Back Into Race After Mishap and Earned Four Points By W. M, GILBERT "Three 'Men in a Boat" may be the sobriquet applied to the ex- periences of the editor of The 'I'imes a week azo when he person- ally witnessed the dinghy races of the Yacht Club from the judges' boat. It applies as an actuality cov- ering the racing Saturday. It takes quite a good deal of a certain kind of intestinal fortitude to brave rough water in a small boat. We do not suggest that the editor is not possessed of his share of it either, but we do know that the water was rough--so very rough--and that, for one whose "innerds" quail at sight of the high ones, Warriors Day might prove very handy. Weather Interfered However, eight boats would have started and eight finished had not Mother Nature and old man hazard combined to upset what looked like an ideal start and a very bunchy race. Ralph Vickery and Cyril Schofield in boat number five were the first. to succumb. The capsized even be- fore the starting gun and took a real good ducking -- but more of them later. The first boat past the judges was number 6 with Jim McLellan as skipper and R. Wallace as crew. This boat was never headed from that time on. It was two seconds ahead of Bill and Harold Hart in number 14 at the un and finished the whole course only a minute and forty-five seconds ahead. That spells BATTLE with capital letters and spells it all the way. Two More Upsets As we said before, the wind was fresh and the waves were big. in fact they were big enough that it only took about eight of them to make a dozen, and running with the wind this spelled trouble. Lionel Hind and Earl Sharp in number 4 just simply filled up--they were fin- ally found with their boat bottom- side up calmly sitting on it waiting patiently for assistance. This was really too bad because these two boys, up to this point, had made it quite clear that they were definitely in the race. Last week's winner, Ivan Mackie and 7. Halloran in boat number 2 ran into the proverbial "Tough Luck" but took it in good part as vachtinz gentlemen always do. Mackie was out to pile up more points to really show the sailing captain .of the club, Jim McLellan, that he could sail--result, a little too close to weather, one hoat over, two wet men, but a cheerv wave "to the others to carry on. The life- savers and the boat chartered by the club for the purpose took them in tow and hroncht them in. Finished afte. capsizing Now tn refer hock tn Ralph Vic- kery and Cyril Schofield.

R. S. McLaughlin early this summer, the boys of the local corps have brought still further honours to this city by means of this boat, and won one of the highest and most coveted honours obtainable in Ontario by being placed first at the annual race held on Saturday at the Cana- dian National Exhibition, In competition with similar rac- ing crews, and similar boats drawn from all over Ontario the Oshawa Sea Cadets were placed first on Saturday by a big margin, the crew from Port Arthur being in second place and the cadets from Hamilton being placed third. he tims fou Oshawa boat this year is given as five minutes ana 1viey su.odus, nearly half a minute less than the winning team last year. With Warrant Officer B. Pearn as Coxswain the Oshawa boat set up a steady stroke from the first and those who saw the race, among them being many members of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, sponsors to the boys, were quite confident even before the starting gun that the coveted honours would come to this city. The personnel of the ten-oared cutter crew, under Coxswain Pearn, was as follows, with Cadet MecIn- ally and Cadet Harmer as "spares": Starboard stroke (Continued on page 3) OLD RESIDENT OF COUNTY DIES Mrs. Benjamin Dalton Passes Away in Her 93rd Year One of the oldest pioneer resi- dents of Ontario, County, Mrs. Benjamin Dalton, mother of D. W. Dalton, of this city, pass- ed away at Uxbridze on Friday last, in her 93rd. year. Mrs, Dal- ton was born in England, and came to Canada when quite young. She was married at Mark- ham on April 15, 1857, and shortly after moved to Ontario, where she and her husband oc- cupied a farm south of Uxbridge. In April, 1917, thev celebrated the diamond jubilee of their wed- ding, surrounded by the members of their family, who presented handsome gifts to their aged father and mother. Her husband passed away in August, 1917, only a few months after the dia- mond jubilee of their wedding. Mrs. Dalton had a particularly talented family = of musicians, and at the golden weddinz cele- bration, held in 1907, a feature was a two hour musical program given entirely by the children. One of her daughters, now Mrs. William Sollitt, of Peterboro, was organist and choir leader of the Glen Major Church without missing a Sunday for ten years, a rather remarkable record. Mrs. Dalton retained her health until only a short time before her death, having taken part in an impressive church service only a week previously. She was a re- markable old lady and was highly esteemed hy a wide circle of tha (Continued on page 3) Chancellor Von Papen of Germany Throws Down Gauntlet to Adolf Hitler's Nazis Munster, Germany, Aug, 29, -- Chancellor Franz von Papen, ad- dressing an assembly of Westphal: ian farmers yesterday, thrust aside all possibility of receiving Adolf Hitler's National Socialists into a coalition government. His speech was a biter attack on the "impulsive recklessness" of the Nazi chief, and in the course of an outline of the present govern- ment's economic program, he indi- cated unmistakably that the cabinet has no intention of relinquishing 'power for months to come, Referring to heavy penalties re- cently imposed by special courts for political violence, the chancellor de- clared: "I recognize no principle of jus- tice which is usurped by one class or party as an instrument of com- 'ernment, bat. That is a Marxist conception which I reject even if it is advo cated by the Nazis, for it is a blow in the face of every German and an offence against the Christian conception of justice. "The impulsive recklessness man: ifested by the Nazi leader is ill suited to his claims for leadership in governm.nt. I do not accord him the right to consider that the minority which follows his orders, of itself constitutes the German nation nor the right to look- upon all other Germans as outlaws. "If in opposition to Hitler I ad vocate a state based on justice, a real commonwealth of the people and an authoritary conduct of gov- it is T and not he whn pursues the aim which millions of his followers' have yearned for in their fight against party domina- tion, arbitrariness and injustice."

'I'he three words of command, given in the stentorian tones of Sergeant-Major William Cooper, signalized the appearance of the Oshawa contingent before the re- viewing stand ot the Warriors' Day parade at the Canadian National Exhibition on Saturday. Although the local contingent was smaller than in the last few years, owing to industrial conditions in the city, between forty and fifty members of the local branch of the Legion marched in the parade, and they made a brave showing as, heads turned sharply to the right, they gave the salute to Sir William Mulock, who was the reviewing of- ficer for the occasion. All along the line of march from Trinity Park, the Oshawa conting- ent caught the eve of the crowd. At the head of the party, along with Sergeant-Major Cooper and M. McIntyre Hood, president of Legion, marched little Teddy Mor- gan, resplendent in a new uniform of red, blue and gold, and carrying a smart swagger- Stick. The crowd along the route of march cheered time and again in greetings to the little Legion mascot, whose father and grandfather, also members of the Legion branch, marched behind him in the parade. On reaching the reviewing stand, Teddy smartly swung his stick un- der his left arm, and brought his right hand up to the salute like a veteran, marching past in that at- titude, as the crowd cheered him to the echo, It was a great mom- ent for the Oshawa contingent, and for little Teddy. Many of the wives and children. of the veterans also attended the exhibition on Saturday, and re. mained to enjoy much ¢f the eve- ning program, returning by bus af a late hour.
