The Thirteen Superstition.

1t is said this strange superstition
extends away back to the time of King
Arthur. When the good British king
founded the famous Round Table he
requested Merlin, the enchanter, to ar
range the seats. Merlin arranged one
set of seats to represent the apostles;
twelve were for the faithful adherents
of Jesus Christ and the thirteenth for
the traitor Judas The first were
never occupied save by the knights dis
tinguiShed for their achievements,
and when a death occurred among
them the seat remained vacant until
knight surprising him in heroic and
warlike attainments should be consid-
cred worthy to fill the place. If an
unworthy knight sought the vacant
chair he was repelled by some magic
power. The thirteenth seat was never
occupied but once. The story goes that
a naughty and insolent Saracen knight
sat down upon it and was Immediately
swallowed up by the earth. Ever af-
ter it was known as the ''perilous
seat" and. brave as the celebrated
knights of the Round Table are said
to have been, not one ever had the
courage to sit on the thirteenth chair.
and the superstition against it still
survives.

POINTS ABOUT YACHTS.
The Prince Of Wales Britannia
Not Success.
Although Built at Great Expense and
with Remarkable Care the valkyrie
Beat Her Easily - The
Yachts Compared.

It rather looks as if the prince of
Wales yacht will not do. Dunraven's
Valkyrie is certainly her superior, and
the VallSyrie is not allowed by the
critics to have any too good an Ameri-
cas- cup chance.
The Britannia's appearance under
canvas was rather imposing, her bold
fore body suggesting considerable
power, while her long after end gave
quite 2 graceful appearance to the hull.
She floats to submerge about four feet
of her counter, which fact accounts for
the supposition that she was the
shorter load water-line boat Both her
main boom and her load line are
eighteen inches to two feet in excess
of the Valkyrie, and the Fairle de-
signed boat will come in between them,
but on account of her smaller sail plan
will rate lower down bit and have
an allowance.
A Scottish critic says of the new
yachts: THE Valkyrie without doubt
is the most out and out thoroughbred
racing craft of the new Scotch crea-
tions. / cannot say that / fancy it for
appearance as much as ! do the Cal
luna, but, taking it all in all. it is the
vessel of the three which strikes one
of that combination of power. speed
and rakishness which suggests the sue
cessful racing cutter. 1t has a finely
drawn-out forebody, terminating in an
overhang which looks like cross be-
tween the Calluna and the Britannia.
1t has lower side than the latter. and
especially abaft the mast its freeboard
gets beautifully less and terminates in
a counter where there will be no more
weight carried than is necessary for
getting an after overhaul sufficient for
immersion. 1t is not sawed off, of
course, but the counter is near the
water and is nice study, a sort of
V-shaped stern.
Fair on, and looking at the Valkyrie
from aft, she is at once recognizable as
the narrowest and deepest of the three
boats. She is more il accord with her

HOnOring the Dead.

The memorial services held at the
opera house Sunday at IL o'clock

In fact the large hall was packed to
its utmost The stage was tasteful
ly and eiaborately decorated with
flowers and evergreens. The choir,
composed of the best singers in the
city opened the services with choice
and delightful music The exer-
cises were conducted by Rev. A. V.
Francis. OF Oklahoma, former pastor
of the Ohio street NJ. E. church of
this city. He talked for more than
all hour and preached one of the
most appreeiative and entertaining
sermons heard on any similar occs-

terry where, after appropriate cere-
monies, the departed comrades were
respectfully remembered by adorn-
lug their graves with beautiful
| flowers.
In the afternoon services were
again held i'll the opera house, Rev
A. Y. Francis being the orator of
the day, and for the occasion the
post could not have made a happier
selection. The discourse WAS one of
the ablest that has been delivered in
our city in many day, and was
highly enjoyed by the old soldiers
and citizens present. The speaker
was careful to say nothing that
would injure the feelings of those
who differ for opinions sake during
the war. In short his address was
a master piece of oratory that will
long be remembered by those who
had the pleasure of being present.
During the services the business
houses closed their doors for a
couple of hours.
