There are number of good books on
building yachts for amateurs, of which
c.. z. Renhort's 'Small Yachts" or
Dixon Kemp's yachts and Boat Sail
ing" are the best and n. p. Stephens
for "Sma'l Goats and Canoes" These
books give the lines of yachts, canoes and
sail plans of the best tried boat ,and can
be reproduc- / by any amateur, who for
pleasure may see fit to read them, and
profit thereby. Two yachts have been
built in Jacksonville by amateurs, and
one of them has proven very fast.
a club formed by the citizens of Pa
latka, for the encouragement of building
and improving on the present boats, and
aid the amusement and sport to be OBJ
tanned, can make a monument for them
selves in the fuI ure boating on the st.
Johns river.
In order to do this we must have our
boats seaworthy, strong and staunch,
with stability and power, speed with
beauty of lines and proportions, proper
balance and fitting of sails and simple
rig.

apply: In August last race of oyster
boats was sailed under the patronage of
the Larchmont Yacht Club. For sloops:
mainsail and jib, cat-boats: mainsail and
gsff topsail. Other rigs, if entered.
should be governed accordingly.
Usually, in such races, one man is al
lowed, beside the captain, to every five
feet in length of boat and fraction there
OF. No ballast or article of weight
shifted after the start, or to be taken in
or put out of boat. Boat must bring
back same crew started with.
A flying start and a race to windward
half way and the other half squared
away, is the best test. In the river,
however, at Palatka, a race OF this kind
can only be obtained with wind blowing
up or down stream. If this is not the
case, a triangular course is next best.
A boat on being entered for a race
should be measured by the "measurer."
Most yacht clubs in the United States
use the water-line measurement. This
measurement is obtained by taking the
yacht into smooth water, and floating a
plank across the bow and likewise the
stern. The distance between the inside
edges of the floats will be the sailing
length of the boat. These lengths are
taken for the purpose of computing the
time larger boat will allow a smaller
one in a race of a given number of miles.
To save time and much figuring, ia
BILE has been prepared from 12 feet to 100
feet, for ascertaining the time allowance
quickly. This table, which is given be-
low. from ~ to % feet, is in use by such
clubs as the Hull, Beverly, Portland
and Providence Yacht Clubs, and others
too numerous to mention.
The judges being furnished with list
of sailing lengths of yachts entered and
this list, can figure the allowance by the
following rule in a few minutes after
the finish.
To reduce yachts time to the time
for the standard length, find in the table
the number of minutes and seconds cor
responding to the sailing lengths of the
yachts and multiply it by the distance in
miles sailed, subtract this product from
the actual time.

The l.rain of the Elephant,

THE half human elephant has brain of
very large size, and its elevations and de
preSsions upon the surface increase the eX.
tent of the acting cells to an enormous de-
gree. It's intelligence is certainly greater
than is possessed by any other quadruped, at
least any of those living in state of nature
1t is probable that some of the apes exceed it
in this regard, while the dog, among domesti-
Gated brutes. is a rival in estimating animal
intellect Its wonderful acuteneSs of tho
sense of touch, developed in its trunk, and
its prolonged length of days-for it lives $50
to 200 ycars-adds greatly to its advantages
over other animals.
When once tanned the elephant becomes
tractabic and submissive; he is affectionate
t. his keeper and does what he can to please
him. 1t is pretty certain, however, that the
keeper must use force with his gigantic pet,
otherwise respect is lost and there comes q
time when the wild nature will overcome the
teachings of his master. In time he under.
stands signs, tones and even words, and acts
accordingly. One that is very tractable for
there are all grades of intelligence among

receives his orders with attention and exc
cutes them with prudence and a manifesto
ton of considerable Judgment. The sagacity
he shows in extricating himself from posi-
tions of danger, some of them such as are url-
known in his native country and so can not
be the result Of hereditary memory" or in
stinct, is well known. His memory of insults
and his long waiting to get even with his enc
mics are too well known to call for more than
n passing mention. One instance Of his
memory of the duties he had learned in cap
tivity when captured again after escaping for
four years into the jungles. is remarkable It

A Strong Candidate for Supreme Judge.

A Strong Candidate for Supreme Judge.
Capt. w. G. Folkes of Memphis
was in the city Monday. He is the
president of the Tennessee bar as
ISOLATION, a lawyer of ability and a
democrat whose peculiar purity has
won him warm personal friends in
every faction. Being a man of high
character, he has enemies as mat
ter of course, but they are, as a
rule, of such character that their
opposition to him will be strong
point in his favor. He became a
candidate for the nomination at the
solicitation of the Memphis bar, the
vote being unanimous. This COM
plimentary recognition at his home,
together with his honorable position
as president of the state bar asso-
citation entities Capt. Folkes to re-
spectful hearing. The Memphis
Appeal is a Jealous supporter Of his
claims, and the Avalanche has THE
to say concerning his fitness for the
high Office he seeks:
"Mr. Folkes is a native of Lynch
burg, Va. He served in the Amy
OF Northern Virginia until he lost a
leg at the bloody battle of Malvern
Hill. After his recovery he prompt
" went in again and served till the
end. That is the metal of the man.
1t is good fiber out of which to
build q man. After the war he
graduated in the law department OF
the University of Virginia and set
tied at Memphis in 1867. Mr..
Folkes is we'll known here and
throughout the state as one of the
ablest and purests of Memphis jur-
ists-a profound and practical law
yer and a man so sweetly tempered
and SO pure, above all mean or lit
tie actions, or the harboring of q
thought of evil, that he is admired
and beloved by all who know him.
Of such manly fiber as his military
service evinced and Withal gentle
and true, he has honorably won sue
cess and distinction at the bar. Ii
is no disparagement OF any other &c
say that it will be happy day fol
Tennessee when a man of such at
tainments and character can WIN 8

Miss Bessie Wilson, the only daugh-

chants, gave brilliant and unique re-
ception the other night. Miss Wilson
is an acknowledged belle, also quite ac-
complished, having much taste in draw
ing and painting. Her invitations were
original, having been designed and
painted by herself, in true japanese
style on old parchment, and invited the
recipient to a "Mikado reception. :"
Miss Wilson was assisted by Miss
Downs and another fair friend in the
impersonation of the "Three Little
Maids from School" The parlors were
decorated in Japanese style and in the
rear or extension a small japanese pa
Wilton was erected in which Miss Will
son presided as "Yum- YUM" and serv-
ed the guests to real Japanese tea in
real japanese cups, after which they
were offered a handsome prize if they
could solve the "Mikado Puzzle" which
had set all heads and hands at work in
the vain effort to be the fortunate one.
As each gained advantage over his
neighbor they would sing out in jovial
tones, 81 have you on the list, and you

exclaim, "Here's how de do, here's a
