AT St Ives, IN Huntingdonshire,
the Sunday-school children met in the
church recently to throw dice for BIZ
bles in the presence of the rector and
the church warden. BY the terms OF
an ancient bequest, ffteendosars must
be spent yearly for twelve Bibles, to
be given to six boys and six girls of
good repute making the three highest
throws. The rector receives so for
preaching a special sermon. At first
the dice throwing took place on the
communion table. but that part of the
ceremony has been given up.

shown that she is as EAST as ghost"
in very light winds, but extremely ten
der and loggy IN anything like a sharp
| blow. She carries the largest area Of
sail ever sported by a cutter and her
mainsail is the largest ever worn by a
vessel of any size. She is just under
ninety feet in length on her load water
line, but has tremendous overliang at
bow and stern. She should be here by
August Z. She will come here in a
stout cruising rig, but it will not take
more than three or four days to restore
her to her racing form. She should be
showing her PAGES off Sandy Hook by
the second week of August. She will
have a full month to get acclimated, as
1t were.
The Defender, the boat built By s
syndicate of American patriotic cap
italists to endeavor to keep the Amer
ica's cup in our possession, was designed
and built by the Herreshoffs in their
works, in Bristol, Z. l. She is q COM

being of steel, with q Tobin bronze
body from her water line to her keel
and an aluminium upper body, and
many Of her deck beams are of that
metal also. She is like the Valkyrie in
the fact that she is practically a fin

she appears to be a cross between an
improved Britannia and Valkyrie II.

her predominating. Her unique fea-
tuTe is the use of the aluminium alloy
in her hull. Its lightness has put her
center of gravity so low that her sta
bility Is wonderful She is yet far
from being tuned up and in perfect
racing trim, yet she has in her pre-.
liminary spins and trials shown speed
so great that her owners feel perfectly
confident that she viii prove worthy O;

The Vigilant. saws the New York
Journal, is dear to every American
heart, because she defended the cup
from Dunrsven's first attempt TO cap
ture Il She is a genuine American
model, with centerboard, and in any
thing greater than an e;ght-knoe

British waters She was several times
defeated last year while abroad by the
Britannia. but the defeats were IN
land-locked courses. where there was g
great deal of lacking to DO and where
the winds were light and variable
Whenever she got chance at the
Britannia in good breeze and free
course she ran away from her with
ease. She has just been altered in
many respects. and she viii be used as
a trial boat against the Defender.

in the expected advent of an heir to
the Russian throne.
Elaborate ceremonies always sur
round the birth of a royal child in Rus
STA, perhaps more conspicuously than
elsewhere. The christening, according
to the ritual in the Greek church, must
take place as soon as possible after the
birth. The baby's christening robes,
says the New York Sun, are marvels OF
the needleworker's art. The first god
father, who is always a high and
mighty person, gives the child gold
cross inlaid with jewels, and the god
mother provides the little white shirt
which is used before the ceremony is
completed. The occasion requires gifts
from all persons connected with the
court. These gifts are often the toys

How the Defender Looks In Her Present
Trim - Not Yet Tuned Up for the
Great Match, But Doing VERY
Satisfactory Work.

The United States and Great Britain
have been. engaged in series of naval
duels for forty-four years, for the pos
session of what is now, by common
consent, called the Americas cup.
In 1851 the first world fair was held
in London. It was wonderful in its
day, but compared with modern fairs
and expositions it was but small
affair. In order to stimulate interest
in naval affairs, a yacht race was ar
ranged, open to the vessels of all ma
tons. The prize was a large silver
cup, valued at one hundred guineas,
presented by her majesty Queen Vic.
toria.
This cup was raced for around the
Isle of Wight in August of 1851. A feet
of cutters and schooners took part in it.
The American schooner yacht America,
designed and built by the famous
George Steers, won it. She was the
last vessel to start. but her lead was so
great on her return that when the
queen, who was on the royal steam
yacht Victoria and Albert. asked who
was first, she was answered: "The
America, your majesty"
"Who is second?" was her next query
There is no second, your majesty"
was the sad reply of the English officer.
The cup was brought to this country
that fall, and since then her majesty's
English, Canadian, Scotch and Irish
loyal subjects have made many vain
efforts to recapture it. In these efforts
they have spent over $4,000, 900. 1t has
cost our patriotic yachtsmen almost as
much to retain possession of the tro-
ply, which is the emblem of superior
ity in naval construction of the world.
Next September the earl of Dun
raven is to make another attempt to
wrest the cup from our custody. He
made a sharp bid for it with the VAL
kyrie in 1898, and this year he comes
here with vessel which is practically
an American model, and which he and
her designer and builder, Watson, adj
NIT was constructed wholly and solely
for the purpose of beating our best
