TO say that the members of the New
York Yacht Club are happy would be to
family describe their feelings over the
prompt receipt of a new English chal-
lenge for the America cup made under
circumstances that convey a hattering
approval of the course of the club IN the
recent provoking controversy with Lord
Dunraven. The new challenger for the
America cup IS Charles d. Rose, son of
Sir John Rose of London, and MEM
Der of the Prince of Wales's set. The
challenge Is made through the Royal Vic
tora Yacht Club, of which the heir to
England's throne Is a member. To the
mind Of the average New York sporting
crank, 1t looks very much as If John Bull,
after getting full details, was now quite
as much dlsgusted with Dunraven's ac-
ton as the most patriotic American has
been. At any rate, we aret to have a race
next year for the cup and on our own
terms. The new challenger Is a very diff
ferent man from Lord Dunraven, who
was always qubbllng for terms, and in
fercntially throwing doubt on the fair
ness Of the American yachting rules and
courses. Mr.. Rose asks no terms what
ever. He leaves everything to the Amer
lean Cup Committee. He IS willing to
SAL anywhere and under any conditions
we name. II this Is not true sportsman

American honesty, 1t would be hard to

that the English are now prepared to
spend a big pile of money to win the cup

Confined Fowls In Summer.

During the summer season many
poultry keepers find 1t necessary to keep
their fowls In yards. When thus con-
fined 1t requires constant watchfulness
to keep them in good health. II they
have range they get by foraglng what
by nature they require, and this Is the
prime reason why there Is less disease
and larger egg production In an uncon-
fined flock. Yarding prevents their get
ting fresh animal matter in the form OF
insects. mineral matter for producing
egg shell, and grit for grinding their
feed, If natures cravings are not sup
piled it Is only matter of time when
disease win follow. Gravel, crushed
oyster shell and ground bone should
form part Of their daily bill of fare.
These ingredients are absolutely neces-
sary. If you cannot provide them buy
a 25-pound package of crushed oyster
shells or ground raw bone. Either sells
for 2h cents per pound. This may seem
like high-priced food, but 1T will pay.
The hens will eat very greedily of it at
first, but after they once satisfy their
craving they will eat only what is neces-
sary.
Keep the yard clean. Spade up fresh
spot every day for them to wallow in
and rid themselves of lice. Provide
shade. The extreme heat of the sun is
debllltating. If the hens cause trouble
by flying over the fence, clip the long
feathers of one wing. The clipped
feathers will not be noticeable when the
wing Is folded.
Feed regularly and give variety.
Proper food means health and health
means eggs Avoid getting the hens
fat-a fat fowl is susceptible to disease.
Feed little or no corn during the sum-
mer months. Give bulky food. Grass
and all garden greens are relshed and
should be given daily. When veEansRng
grass Is given there is danger oSEog
ging the crop. 1t is best to cut the grass
and green food about one-half an inch
in length, dampen 1t and sprinkle meal,
bran or ground oats over 1t. This makes
an excellent noon meal Watch the
flock while h is eating; some fowls may
starve while others are fattenlng. Do
not allow a quarrelsome cock In the
flock. Do not keep the growing fowls
according to age and size. Keep plenty
of clean fresh water within reach all the
time. If any appear sick, add table,
spoonful of venetian red to a quart of
drinking water 1t Is best not to dose
too much. but fowls that are confined
are susceptible to disease and an occa-
s!onal tonic Is necessary. Endsavor to
keep the fowls tame and gentle. Trea !;
them kindly, talk to them so they will
become familiar with your voice, and
they will not be frightened when You
go among them.-Mary p. Keech.

SPECIAL Yew York Letter.
Tash.onabls New York is not greatly
surprised i the announcement of the
engagement of the young Duke of MARI
borough to Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William X.
Vanderbilt, whose matrimonial troubles
the public Is familiar with. The engage
ment has for some time been foreshad-
owed. Mrs w X. Vanderbilt has ar
rived in town, and Is bus.ly engaged in
putting IN order the new residence on the
corner Of Madison avenue and Seventy
second street, purchased by her last year.
The house is not an especially imposing
one. 1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Vanderbilt purchased It arter declining
the magnificent manson al Flfty-second
street and Fifth avenue conferred on her
by her husband.
Rumor is busy in many ways regarding
this notable wedding. Among all the al
Iances OF American women with Euro
pean mobiles, none have approached near
er the throne OF power than this Of the
great-granddaughter Of Cornelius VAN

corner of West and Barclay streets re-
Gently. Watch mel" yelled Jimmy,
another urchin. and he came down the
street full tilt. The man soaking his
head was truck driver. He was hold
ing his head under a pump and was
pumping at the same time. On came
Jimmy. He was barefooted and made
no noise. He was also bare-headed and
ragged Two feet in the rear of the
truckman he rose up and dived head
foremost. He struck the truckman
head-on just back of the hips. There
was wild yell, kerplunk and a big
splash of water in the trough under
the pump. The truckman was at the
bottom. Jimmy was in the trough, too,
but he was on top. There was a slash
ing of legs and arms. Jimmy slid out
and scudded UP the street. The truck
man came up spluttering and cursing.
He saw Jimmy scudding. The handiest
thing to throw was a watermelon. II
was big one. The truckman grabbed
1t and succeeded in hurting 1t twenty
feet after the scudding Jimmy, who
was twenty yards away AS he threw

man who owned the melon grabbed
him. Jimmy's companion started to
run too. He reached the melon, which
had broken in four pieces, with a hop,
skip, and jump, and gathered up the
fragments. Then he scudded after
Jimmy. The truckman stopped and
cursed. The owner demanded pay for
the melon, and finally compromised on
half value. The truckman shook him

his horse, and started down the street
in the direction the urchlns had gone.

that he caught them.-New York Sun.
