THE CANOEIsTS.

THE CONSOLATION RACE.
The consolation race finished the pro-
gram, ann this proved to be the give away
of the whole concern. To commence
with, the printed programs passed around
before the first race was called, and
printed the day before, showed the con-
testants to be Mckay, Lee, Parker and
Hosmer, as designated by the collars they
wore, which corresponded exactly to the
collars worn in the first contest. This
was proof positive that the first race was
given to Guadaur before the sculler en-
tered the field. The tnrning buoys were
made in the following times Mckay,
4:32; Hosmer, 4.2S; no time for Lee and
Parker. The line was passed IN the fol
lowing times, Mckay, 9:541; Hosmer,
9:55; Lee, 9:56; Parker, 9;57. 1t was
evident that Hosmer could have won the

mile and half course Gaudaur and
Hosmer rowed against Mckay and Par
ker. Both boats made good start, Gau
daur's reaching the turn In 4 35, and Nc
Kay's in two seconds later. 1t was a
pretty race from start to finish, the boats
keeping conveniently near together. At
the close both spurted, which aroused a
wild cheer from the shore. There was
nothing else exciting about the race.
Gaudaur's time was 1907, and Mckay s
1910.

Not Dead Yet.

Atlanta papers are giving the public
some curious and wonderful cases that are
quite interesting. Itseems that a Young
lady of Atlanta had been reported as dead,
but it came to the ears of the Atlanta Jour
nal that she was still alive, and being on
the alert for news, a reporter was sent to
the residence to learn all the facts. Miss
Belle Dunaway, who had been pronounced
dead, met him at the door, stoutly denying
that she was dead. She said:
''For four years, rheumatism and neu-
ra'gia have resisted physicians and all 9TH
er treatment. My muscles seemed to dry

wherever he feltin strange land
most sorrowful in deepest affiic-
ton. In a cruise to the Euxine
Sea he had on board a beautiful
Amazon, named Antiope. There
was also with him three young no.
bles from Athens, Euneos, Thoas,
and Soloon. The latter fell des-
perately in love with Antiope.
Through an intimate companion he
revealed his passion, which she
rejected with positive denial. So
great was the modification and
grief of the Athenian yoath that
he threw himself into the sea and
was drowned. This event caused
Theseus much grief and sorrow
and deep affliction. In the midst
Of his grief this oracle of the
priestess occurred to his mind and
he at once erected a city near a riv-
er. The city he called Pythepo-
lis and the river Soloon. It is we'll
for us to remember the lesson of
the heathen oracle. Let all our
sorrows and affections be the foun-
dation of nobler characters and
purer lives. Let the memory of
the sorrow of the past stir our
minds to the work of building a
new nation. And may the glory of
the latter temple be greater than
that of the former.

AMERICA STILL LEADS.
highlands Phenomenal Yacht
Outsailed in Her Contest for
the Americas Cup.
Victory Snatched by the Puritan from
What Seemed to BE Almost
Certain Defeat.

The possession of the Americas cup was
decided at New York on the 10th inst, by
the Puritan beating the Genesta over the
long course by minute 80 seconds, cor
rected time. The race is said To have been
the closest ever contested the Genesta
leading for nearly three fourths of the dis
lance, and being minutes seconds
ahead at the outer mark. The wind was
fresh at the start, and increased toward the
finish to half gale, resulting in lumpy
sea. A New York dispatch says of the
great race:
The cup won by the America more than
q generation ago was never i'm such peril as
to-day. It's possession has been often
challenged and warmly contested, but never
before has Great Britain sent champion
so hard to vanquish. Had it not been for
the building of the Yankee yacht and the
sailing of the Yankee skipper we might
have been compelled to yield the trophy
which we have SO often defended, and
always with much greater ease than to- day,
when for the first time American
yachts have had to bend their sails in
competition with an antagonist to be feared
in any weather. There never was such O
race in American waters. There probably
never was sailed before. in the history Of
catching, a race in which the laurels hung
tantalizingly before two famous rivals un-
til the very end of long fifty-mile course.
No boat but the Puritan could have saved
the day; none but the Genesta could have
made victory SO dubious. 1t was grand
race from the moment that the fleet winged
racers crossed the imaginary line until the
whistles blew and the guns belched forth
their welcoming to the returning conqueror.
The yachts looked grand as they dashed
across the line. Both were taken in tow by
the tugs Scandinavian and Luckenbach
and cast off at their Staten Island anchor
age. At o'clock the race was over, and
ths Americas cup was still retained on this
side of the Atlantic In speaking of the
race ex- Commodore Smith, who has seen
every important race for the last thirty
years. said: at was the grandest race
ever seen in the world, and if the Puritan
had been properly handled she would have
beaten the cutter more yet"
The Genesta was regarded as the best
"all around" boat in the British fleets Of
last season. She won her first race in q
fresh whole sail breeze, beating the Vau-
duara two minutes and ffty-fve seconds.
In her third race she beat the fastest two
sticker in British waters, in fresh wind
and nasty Jump of the sea. In her fourth
race she beat, in light wind. the fastest
light weather boat in England. In another
race she won with the wind unsteady,
varying from lower sail breeze to fat
calm

A WILD, weird story comes to us all
the way from Scotland to the effect that
some four-dealers in the Land of Cakes
are trying to induce consumers there
to let the American article alone, the
reason being that it is adulterated with
wood-dust. This is pretty tale, but
unfortunately it must be told the other
way, if at all. 1t was reported few
months ago that factory had been
started down East, somewhere near
Portland, for the manufacture of wood
flour to be exported to the British Isles,
where it was expected to find custo-
toners among the bakers. We do not
know that the allegation is true one.
The story may have been made out of
whole cloth. But If it be true, the sin
lies at the door of folks on one or both
sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and not in
the West. There is no such manufact-
DRY in this part of the world, and it
would scarcely pay to bring the saw
dust from the far East to be mixed with
-four in the West, so long as we have
plenty of the article which is euphoni-
ously called "Red Dog" and finds a
ready market in Aud Scotia.

A NOVELTY in marriage proposals is
reported from Antwerp: The Congo
King, Massala, q special favorite of the
ladies of Antwerp, is reported to have
lately won the heart of an English lady,
who, nothing loath, wrote to the King
offering him her hand and heart and
fortune of 100000 Massala, evidently
fattered by the proposal of the lady,
who honestly described herself as mo
longer young" caused an answer to be
written to her in which he expressed
his regret that, as he was provided with
O sufficient number of wives during his
stay in Europe, he could not enter a
new matrimonial bond. If, however,
she would choose man from his suite,
Massala would be happy to further the
arrangement.
