FIX UP.-Too frequently are seen about the
premises Of property, owners or occupants, the
unfailing marks of neglect or shiftlessness.
Pickets torn from their places, or swinging on
a single nail; fences leaning without support,
or PROSTATE with age. Gates that are hung
with strings for hinges, or the absence Of even
these, must be removed and replaced nemas-
Sc. These are conditions Indicative Of neglect
and lack of energy, for which there is no rea-
sonable excuse. A little industry in this di-
rection, will remove the neglected appearance.
Buy pound Of nails, they cost but little.
Spend an hour less at the store or on the street
corner some day, and devote the time to fix
ing up, and you will have increased the value
Of your property one third beyond its former
worth, besides beautfying and making at
tractive your home It is unjust to attribute
this neglect always to Incidence, or want of
industry. In such cases excessive toll in other
ways is the excuse, but every man has time
to keep in proper repair the surroundings of
his home. Ii cheap they may be tasty, OF if
rough they may be kept substantial. And it
paws.

LONDON, May 1.-THE first ofthe
series of three races between the
American yacht Sappho and the
English yacht Cambria, sixty miles
to windward and return, which com
menced yesterday morning, termina-
ted this morning in a decided vic
tory for the Sappho, which beat the
Sappho from the start as the latter's
best point Of sailing, namely, runs
ming to windward. The yachts 5
were towed very early on the morn
ing of the 10th, to q point 60 miles
southeast of Cowes Roads, as the
race was to eastward, or up the
channel. The American yacht
DauntIess and the English yacht,
the Pleiad, and a number of English

arranged by the umpires that fly
ing start should be given on the
port tack, b. which the yachts would
gain great ofing towards the mid
channel, in case of a change of wind.
The Cambria having won the loss,
took the weather position, and thus
had the advantage at the start. The
Sappho carried thirty-two hands and
q cloud Of canvass, Including, with |
her regular fore and aft sails, main
topmast, stay sail and flying iib, |
while the Cambria only set one lib |
in addition to her foresail and other |

hands. The signal to go was given |
at 8:26 a. m. The Sappho took the |
lead from the start, and by the time
