The Wyvern, Speranza, Republic, Croco- dile, Adelaide, Vivid, Clara, Daphne, Daisy, Thistle and Vidette all passed ont in bunch at nineteen minutes past eleven.
 As they passed out they were followed by the tugs and small racing craft. On striking the Farrows it was seen that the wind outside was blowing good, for the big sails caught it, and, feeling the force, bellied out, and the sharp prows threw the spray high up as the yachts felt the added speed and dashed through the water. It gave promise of a fast race and fair test of the sailing qualities of the big sloops. one of which will have to defend the America cup.
 At noon some of the yachts were just visible i'll the haze from Sandy Hook. At 12 20 they were about one mile and a half to the north of Sandy Hook Point. outward bonnd. and approaching Buoy No. s. The Thetis held the lead. with the with Puritan closely following behind her. Most of the rest of the fleet were still in the haze and not perfectly discer- nible.
 The stakeboat, off Buoy No. 8, was rounded by the Thetis at 12:36. Right behind her came the Puritan. She turned the stakeboat one minute later, her time being 12 :37 A couple of minutes later the Puritan had caught up with the Thetis, and minute later had passed her. At this time the Atlantic and Priscilla had come up, and they passed out to Buoy No. 5, off Sandy Hook Point as follows :- Puritan 12:41:O0 Thetis 12:41:3O Priscilla 12:48:OO Atlantic |12:47;O0
 At 14s the yachts were near the Sandy Hook lightship It seemed as though the Puritan had been outgeneralled or that an accident had occurred to her, for the Pris- cilla had the first place, closely followed by the Atlantic with the Boston boat third. All three were flying light sails and were not having much wind. They were sailing at the rate of about six knots an hour.
 At 1.O5 the Priscilla, Atlantic and Puri- tan put about on the starboard tack. They were then about half mile to the lea ward of Sandy Hook hghtship, with the wind right ahead.
 The Sandy Hook lighuship was rounded in great style the Priscilla leading. Be- hind her came the Atlantic, turning the lightship at 2.31. The Puritan turned at the same time. and all three spread out for the home run. The Puritan had taken in her balloon jib, The wind freshened and all three racers came speeding rapidly in. The Atlantic had her spinnaker on her port side.
 The run home was watched with eager ness. The boats held their own well and the Priscilla was still leading. The Puri- tan had caughtup and was alongside and rapidly forging ahead of the Atlantic. The Priscilla was going like 8 racehorse and so was the Puritan.

Origin of Playing Cards.

The invention Of playing cards has
been attributed to various nations. It is
not now believed that To France belongs
their invention. Ii was formerly tho Ight
that they were invented boy Jacquemin
Griugonneur for the amusement of
Charles VI Of France, during those at
tacks Of the malady which at last
brought him 10 the grave. This couclu-
sion was reached from an entry in the
account book, for 1892 OF 1898, of the
treasurer of Charles VI Of France. re-
cordmg the payment TO Jacquemin
Gringonueur of a sum OF money for max
ing a pack Of cards; but the payment is
clearly for painting, not for inventing
them The Chinese claim that cards
were invented in 1920 A. d., in that
country, IN the reign Of Seun-ho. for the
amusement of his numerous concubines.
In India there is a tradition that cards
have existed from time immemorial, and
that they were invented by the Brahmins.
The outcome OF all the re earches in this
direction has resulted in favor of the
presumption OF the Asiatic origin Of
cards

An interesting experiment, showing
the influence of electricity on the growth
Of roots, has been made in Germany by
Professor Hodeieiss. Plates of copper
we're thrust upright into the earth, and
connected by wire with similarly placed
zinc plates, about one hundred feet dis
tant, an electric battery being thus
formed with the earth between such
copper and zinc in the circuit. Both
potatoes and beets, planted between such
plates, gave an increased yield-beets
fifteen per cent, potatoes twenty-five
per cent--as compared with other parts
of the same field.

Esop's fable concerning the indignities
offered the sick lion, if we may substi-
tute captivity for feebleness. A little
elephant in travelling managerie took q
great dislike to the lion, and the other
night, in Vallejo, got loose, grabbed the
king OF beasts by hind leg, and tried to
pull him through the bars of the cage.

circus force 10 get-the little fellow away

When once sent forth for good or i'll

EVENING
The wild gulls wheel aud waver,

The wild gulls wheel aud wavsr,
They call and cry,
In sad, shrill notes that quiver
Tween earth and sky;
The red sun sinks apace,
While yet his cleaning face
Looks out a moments space
Through mists that fly
The toiling team moves slowly
In rhythmic beat,
With patient heads bent lowiy;
Their heavy feet
Past fresh-cut burrows clear;
While low waves whisper near.
And sweet earth odors here
The salt airs meet.
Dim wings Of twilight hover
Ger field and sea,
For day is past and over;
And silently,
With weary sense and sight.
Through wales of fading light,
The plowman welcomes night,
Where rest shall be.
