night TO escape whipping. Capt Daily OF
the Third precinct police station found her
late on Thursday night at tho house OF Mrs,
Fredericks at 745 jackson street. He restored
the girl to her mother. who there is reason to
| believe. alte nately whipped and wept over
her for several hours.
The trouble was all caused by an anonym Gus
letter which was received by Principal Voget
OF the Camden street school. II charged Clara
with stealing money from her mother in order
to purchase bouquets for her teachers. Tho
principal Informed the girls mother OF the
letter on Tuesday morning. and Mrs. Graet
questioned her daughter about the matter.
The girl denied the allegation. and said
the bouquets had been given to her by
florist. Mrs. Graef, after listening to
her daughter! began to look around for
her fayorite whip She couldn't find one good
told. Clara to go to school and that SHE would
be ready to Tx her" when she came home.
and that. she went about seeking a situation.
She was foundon Thursday night through
Mrs Graef q s Sc ssS at
the bakery. which she owns, on Springfield
avenue. She IS = large. pleasant locking
about the mouth and eyes.
After speaking. OF the cause Of her daughters
disappearance Mrs. Graef explained her views
on the corporal pun ishment Of children.
Il believe in giving IL to them good when
they've done wrong" said Mrs. Graef Il am
partial to spanking with the strap myself. Ill
though. Of course. there are many OF her things
which will answer the purpose. This strap OF
mine Is about two feet long and pa inches
wide. and very tough and strong. 1t is very
effective.
mo. do not strike their hands with the
strap. because 1t Injuries the personal appear

~ AZ Good A. the viGilnnt.

Lord Dunraven ia convinced that the race
proves what he has insisted upon all along.
that In a breeze the Nalkvrie is Just good q
boat as the Vigilant and in big breeze would
probably show herself the better OF the two.
He expressed this opinion to friends on board
after the race. and authorized it's repetition at
the Waldorf last night. when Mr.. II. Maitland
Kersey acted as spokesman for him:
lord Dunraven." said Mr.. Korsey us sat-
isfled that but for tho accidents to the Val
kyrie's spinnakers she would certainly have
won the race by at least minute.
when we were getting ready for the start
We had our first accident. The sheave broke

were setting the spinnaker. there was a little
tear in the bottom Of the canvas as it filed out
and We had to take it In. intending to stitch 1t
up. 1t split from top to bottom while we were

isfied that but Tor the accident tho \alkyrie
would certainly have won. Tor she beat the

Lord Dunraven believes that the NiGilant
Is o splendid ship. the best that America ever
turned out. but he is satisfied that II keel boat.
properly constructed and handled. can go to
the windward Just as well as centreboarder.
The race does not provo to his mind that the
American ccntreboardcr is superior 70 the
English keel racer"
Lord Dunraven entertnins the opinion that
the Nalkyrie was not in as good condition in |
the three races with the Vigilnnt IA when she |
raced in England. Had she beer in as good |
form. he believes that she would have won to |
certainty. He has expressed marked salts |
faction with the generous and courteous treat |
ment received ut the hands of the American |
yachtsmen. but is much annoyed at what he |
called the enthusiasm Of the Captains OF the |
various excursion boats that caused the racers |
30 much bother while they were sailing over |
the oourse.
The Valkyrie will be laid up for tho winter
on this side OF the water. but her anchorage |
has not yet been decided upon. She will sail |
for England in the spring. Lord Dunraven |
and his party have arranged to return on the |
Teutonic week from Wednesday. and no |
says he has no plans for the rest OF his stay
here.
