been in progress for over a month, and
each side has repeatedly claimed victories
over the other without any special results
being apparent Navy officials here do not
think that the expected engagement is
likely to be very important, although the
fact of Capt. Cromw ell cabling it seems to
indicate that it may be rather more serious
than usual. The Atlanta will remain at
Colon.

Measured OFF the Henley Course.

Taking advantage of the ice, Courtney,
the Cornell University trainer, in company
with two surveyors, marked out courses OF
several kinds on Cayuga Lake near 1th-
lea. L. was with great pleasure that he
discovered the fact that on the west shore
of the lake straightaway course could be
laid out for one mile and $50 yards, the
same distance as the Henley regatta course,
and near enough to shore so that the vari-
Gus markings on the perpendicular cliffs
could be plainly seen by the coxswains.
The following dimensions were marked off
800 feet, 500 feet. 6t0 feet, $50 yards, 2,01U
feet, 5000 feet, one mile, one mile and a
quarter, and one mile $50 yards. Courtney,
in expressing his views on the course, said:
THE coxswains will know where they are
now at all times, and the dimensions are
marked SO plainly that the boats can be
timed for any part of the whole course

To Open Tennis Tournamcnts.

As far as can be learned now, there will
be no open tournaments in Florida this
year. The Tampa Bay and Magnolia
Springs Tennis clubs have both abandoned
their fixtures this spring. and the st. Au-
gustine Tennis Club has made no arrange
ments as yet for their usual meeting. The
Gates City trophy, representing the tropical
championship. was won last year for the
third and final time by Ollie Campbell and
no efforts have been made to secure a new
challenge cup for competition. 1t ia still
possible that tournament may be ar
ranged at the last moment, but no date
mas been applied for, and it would be diff
cult to get many northern players to enter
at this late day. Harry Lillywhite, the
groundsman Of the Saratoga Athletic Asso-
citation and the Meadow Club Of South
ampton, is at st. Augustine again this
spring in charge of the courts

1t is very noticeably true that il
takes all classes of people to make ur
a world. In Bedding as in other towns
we have those who always stand ready
to contribute their share towards any
thing that will be for the best interests
OF the place, and besides money they
also contribute many valuable hours
time toward making success of what
may be undertaken. To such people
our citizens owe debt of gratitude
There is another class who claim to be
big people who sneak every time sub
scription paper is put before them; and
when any entertainment or enterprise
is brought about they are found on the
front seat croaking..and kicking be-
cause everything has not been arrang-

and happy to say, however, that the
latter class are greatly in the minority
in our enterprising young city.
