Mr. Denmeade will receive a silver medal and certificate for his brave efforts to save the life of a young man named Conlon at Sans Souci last January. They were at a picnic together, when Conlon, In attempting to pick up a hat which had fallen into the bay. fell overboard from the boat In which they were. Denmeade went to the assistance of his friend, but the latter, being a very powerful fellow, overpowered him, and he was unable to effect the rescue so gallantly attempted. He was picked up by another boat in a semi-conscious condition. - 23 August 1902
