MAP OF THE PARK.

Col Pope and his associates have pur-
chased tract of land covering an area of
about 100000 square feet il Cambridge, and
is bounded by Front street, Sidney street, Pa
cific street and the Grand Junction railroad.
Front street will be connected with West
Chester park by the new Harvard bridge, so
the grounds will be directly on one of the
principal thoroughfares between Boston and
Cambridge. The accompanying diagram will
show the location of the grounds, and give a
general idea of how they will be laid out. 1t
is proposed to cut a street through the COM
pany's property from Front street to Pacific
street, and lay line Of horse car tracks upon
it. A depot and waiting room will be erected
at the entrance to the park. The main en-
trance will be on Front street near the grand
stand. Work has already been commenced,
and it is expected that when the grounds are
thrown open to the public in the summer,
they viii be in every respect the finest athletic
outdoor Enclosure in this country. The BIZ
cycle track is to be two laps to the mile, and
will without doubt be the finest in the land.
1t will be oval in shape, as this has been found
best adapted to a high rate of speed.
There will also be q baseball diamond laid
out inside the track and a smaller track con-
structed for foot races. The grand stand
VIII seat 1900 people. There will also be
about a half dozen tennis courts, which will
be laid out according to the most approved
principles

CANADIAN YACHTS
The Canadian yacht Countess of Dufferin
attempted to capture the cup in a series of
three races, the best two out of three to win,
in August, 1876. The first race was sailed on
Aug. 10. The schooner Madeleine was 81
lected to defend the cup. The Canadian was
beaten over the club course by ION. SOS.
The second race, on Aug. II, twenty miles to
windward from Sandy Hook and return, re-
suited in the defeat of the Canadian by 27m.
AS
Another Canadian yacht caught the ''mug
hunting fever" in the summer of 1881. She
was "single sticker," the Atalanta, and the
New York Yacht club pitted the sloop Mis-
chief against her, having selected her after
several exciting trial races with the Oracle
The Atalanta was disposed of in two races,
one on Nov. s, over the regular club course,
and the other on the following day, sixteen
miles to leeward from Sandy Hook and re-
turn. The Mischief beat the Canadian by
2Sm. 3O1fs. in the first race, and 3Sm 54s. in
the second.
The expense attending the protection of the
cup under the old deed of gift caused the club
to return it to its donor, Mr.. George r.
Schuyler, on Dec. -, 1882. 1t was reaccept-
ed by the club on Feb. ., under conditions.
RECENT RACES FOR THE CUP.
On Dec 20, 1884, Mr.. J. Beavor-Webb, de-
signer of the Genesta and the Galatea, owned
respectively BY Sir Richard Sutton and
Lieut.. W. Hem, r. N, notified the New
York Yacht club of the intention of Sir
Richard and the lieutenant to challenge for
the cup.
The story Of how the Puritan beat the
Genesta, of how the next year the Mayfower
walked away from the Galatea, and how in
1887 the Volunteer sailed around the Thistle,
is familiar with the yachting public.

Califorpia,s Breeding Interest.

Not long ago when legislative committee
was examining witnesses upon the pool bill
before the California legislature a turfman
on the stand was asked what nc thought the
breeding interest of the state amounted to as
a financial matter. He replied that be
thought it would compare favorably with
the raisin interest There was smile from
those in the crowd who were not conversant
with horse matters-a smile of incredulity
but if they had seen fit to look little more
deeply they would, perhaps, have seen some
thing to surprise them. L. j. Rose sent
thirty-six head of young horses to New York,
his first public sale. They brought S102, SG5.
Count Valensin sent fifteen head that sold for
SI7,G2O. William Corbett sent thirty-four
head that brought $40, 495, and Hancock
johnson and Charles Durfee sent each small
lot that swelled the total for the sale to $500,
OILS.
Then since the 1st of January Orrin
Hickok has sold his Arthurtin gelding, Arab,
for $1,000, Joseph Cairn Simpson sold his
stallion Antevolo for $4,000, B. C. Holly dis
posed of his Wanderer for $4,000, c. c. Sea-
mans sold Bell Boy for an even $4,000 and
S. J. Rose sold STEAMBOAT for the same
amount. That makes grand total of $346,
600 which has gone to purchase California
horseaesh since 1889 was ushered in, not to
mention the number of minor sales that have
taken place. Haggin's stable of l03 thor
oughhreB and Ralo Altos consignment of
trotters will be heard from in May, and the
amount will ba considerably swelled.-New

THE AMERICA CUP.
How Much Longer Will it Stay

THE NEW YACHT VALKYNE.
A Short History of the Americas Cup From the
Start to the Volunteer Thistle
Race.

England has by no means decided to give
MU the Americas cup, as the Earl of Dun
ems recent challenge proves. The yacht
has been selected, the Valkyrie is fitted
larry a centerboard. She measures 81. &c
5, is s. feet over al, GO feet inches on the
sater line, - feet inches ham, and II feet
6 inches depth of hold. Her draught is proba-
bly, not less than 10 feet. She was designed
by Mr.. G. L. Watson who has devoted much
time to the study of American models and
who told Mr.. Charles Sweet two years ago
that he thought ne could construct n yacht
to beat anything in the world. 1t was Mr..
Sweets intention, before the publication of
the new deed of gift, which he thought con-
tanned some unsportsmanlike structures, to
build yacht of the third class to fight for

sailing regulations, the challenging party be-

THE CAMBRIA.
Eleven years after the transfer OF the cup
to the New York Yacht club Mr.. James
Ashbury, of the English schooner Cambria,
wrote to the club that he was disposed to chal-
lenge all America for the possession Of the

Oughly understand that he had to comply with
the conditions of the deed of gift if he wanted
terrace for the cup. The Cambria came across
the ocean in race with James Gordon Ben
nett's keel schooner yacht Dauntless, and
beat her by two hours, making the passage
In twenty-three days seven hours.
The first attempt to recapture the Americas

was the tenth yacht in at the finish. ~

FAMOUS ANDALUSIAN BEAUTIES.
Spanish Girls who Are Admired for Fin,
Forms and Small Feet.

Spanish Girls Who Are Admired for Fine
Forms and Small Feet.
Henry T. Finck, in Scribner.l
As regards her stature and mold. the
Andalusian girl is almost invariably q
petite brunette. and although not all are
plump, and many are too stout, the majority
have exquisitely symmetrical tapering
limbs, well-deTeloped busts (hat-chested
women are almost unknown in Spain), and
the most dainty and refined hands and feet
Regarding these feet Gautier makes the
most astounding assertion, that without
any poetic exaggeration it would be easy
here in Seville to find women whose feet
an infant might hold in its hands.
A French girl of or could
not wear the shoes of an
Andalusian of 90" 1 am glad to attest
that if the feet of SevilliAn women really
were SO monstrously small 80 years ago,
they are so no longer. 1t is discouraging to
see man like Gautier fall into the vulgar
error Of fancying that, because small foot
is a thing of beauty, therefore the smaller
the foot the more beautiful it must be,
Beauty Of feet, hands and waists is mat
ter of proportion, not of absolute size, and
too small feet, hands and waists are not
beautiful, but ugly. We might as we'll
argue that since a mans foot ought to be
larger than a woman's, therefore the larger
his foot the more he has of manly beauty.
If the Andalusian women really had feet so
small that baby might hold them in It's
hands, they would not be able to walk at all,
or, at least, not gracefully. But it is pre-
cisely their graceful gait and carriage for
which they are most famed and admired.

A marriage celebration in Algeria is an
interesting relic of ancient customs. The
bridegroom goes to bring the bride, and the
guests assembled outside the house will wait
for his coming. Soon the sound of pipes is
heard coming from the summit of some
neighboring hill, and the marriage pro-
cession approaches the bridegroom's house.
The pipers always come first in the process

riding mule led by her lover. Then comes
bevy of gOrgeously dressed damsels, spark
ling with silver ornaments, after which the
friends of the bride follow. The procession
stops in front of the bridegroom's house, and
the girls friends line both sides of the path
way. The pipers march off on one side,
while the bridegroom lifts the girl from the
mule, and holds her in his arms. The girl 8
friends thereupon throw earth at the bride

her over the threshold'of his house. Those

Some Of Their PecuIIarities as Students
The Question of Race.


Some of Their PecuIiarities as Students
The Question of Race.
New York Times.1
''The girl would make better student in
our public schools and colleges" said one
Of the prominent educators of the city yes
terday, eff she had the same incentive, the
same motive, that the young man has. The
young man who goes to the public schools
and colleges feels that he is to be bread
winner. He has this for clear purpose in
getting an education. But it is not so with
the girl. With her motive is everything,
and not having the motive she does not
study to her full capacity. She looks to
getting married some day, and having some
one else provide the bread for her.
"Of course this is generally speaking.
We hear good deal about woman's power
of application as compared with mans, but
my experience has been that if girl knows
what she is after, if she has distinct pur-
pose, in nine cases out of ten she will dis
play steadfastness of aim that is quite equal
to that of any boy.
much has been said about the capacity
Of the female intellect for mathematics, but
can say that the girl excels in pure mathe-
matics. Girls are exceedingly fond of
history and literature, and invariably stand
high in those studies.
1.-THE best students are Hebrews. That is,
they carry off the honors. But this is not
always a fair test of intellectual capacity.
The scholarship OF the student is deter
mined quite as much by her home inAu-
ences, by her surroundings and associations.
as by her textbooks or instructors. AAs q
rule, the wealthy Hebrews avail themselves
OF the advantages of the public schools and
colleges for their children, while, generally
speaking, children of Christian parents in
similar financial circumstances go to private
institutions. This makes it particularly
difficult to institute race comparisons in the
public schools.
