THE ATLANTIC'S REGATTA.
First Class Weather and a Good
Days Sport ON the Water.

The members of the Atlantic Boat
Club, of Hoboken, and the clerk of the

HER TOMBSTONE WATTS
Mrs. Catherine Hays
Strange Preparations
for Death.

Mrs. Catherine Hay, OF No. 154 York
street, a year ago became convinced that
the Angel of Death was lowering over
her and she prepared for his descent
She had long suffered from rheumatism
Inc many times when violent twinges of
pain afflicted her she wished that the
angel would not stand upon the order of
his coming but come at once.
In anticipation of some such event, Mrs.
Hay made every effort to be prepared,
spiritually and temporarily. She is a
widow, her husband having died thirty
five years ago. after amassing a fortune
as proprietor of an iron Wondering
foundry in New York; and, with the ex-
ception of a servant, she has lived alone
ever since.
When / learned last night that Mrs.
Hay expected to die soon / called on her to
learn what arrangements she had made.
She greeted me very cordially when the
hoqsekeeper ushered me into an I'M
lighted room; and mid the Egyptian
darkness she told me her little history.
She said that a year ago she became
convinced that she would soc die, and
she concluded to De prepared, for there
was no n blu a couple of rich relatives
in Brooklyn to see to her funeral when it
became necessary to hold it.
SHE HAS CHOSEN HER GRAVE.
For this reason she purchased a grave
at st. Peters New Cemetery a year ago
and instructed q stonecutter to make her
tombstone. This "a done and on it was
Inscribed
"Catharine Hay, aged born in Ire
land, and widow of John Hay."
She is now seventy-two years old and
childless. TIL stone cutter has instruc-
lions to engrave her age on the stone
when death comes. Mrs. Hay said that
after she did this she consulted Under
taker Coyle and made arrangements with
him to construct her coffin and shroud.
Mr.. Coyle received the plans and speci-
fications, but did not dc the work. owing
to his being called away from the city for
awhile. She is now in search of another
undertaken inc shroud manufacturer.
H WRIT OF CoNSTANCY.
Mrs. Hay told me that since the death
of her husband and children hers had
been a lonely life, and that during The
thirty-five years, she had suffered from
rheumatism, sometimes not much and
sometimes u great deal.
She said that had she been so inclined
she could lave accepted a hundred offers
of marriage since her widowhood, out she
declined them all, feeling that q Wife's
constancy should not end at the graves
side.
The eccentricitics of Mrs. Hay are well
known to her neighbors. But a few days
ago she visited the cemetery, and decor
ated the grave she has prepared for
herself. After strewing flowers over the
plot, and offering a prayer, she wandered
In a melancholy fashion among the other
graves.
This belief in the nearness of death Is
always with her, and she told me so last
night. The house she has is not as lux
urious as a woman of her wealth might
be expected to live in. 1t consists of three
or Jour plainly furnished rooms on the
third f1oor of the building.
The housekeeper is her only attendant,
and she cares for the lonely woman when
her ''rheumatics" trouble her. The rainy
weather this summer has caused her
much suffering.

After the regatta the barge returned to
Hoboken, and the merry party disem-
barked for supper. In an hour they were
on board again bound for q sail up the
Hudson by moonlight. x
The music was sweet, the moonlight
en~trancing, and the party full Of jollity.
They had q large time, and one and all
pronounced the regatta a success.
