the prize only the typical laurel wreath
each yacht commander would be willing to
capsize his boat in an effort to win.
The prizes will be: First, a silver cup:
second, silk ensign; third. a silk pennant.
The race will be sailed barring weather
and fog and lack of wind.
The yachts that will line up for the race
in the order of class and size are as fol-
lows:
Cabin sloops-Grace, who is worthy of
her name, handsome yacht, designed by
that king of designers, the late Edward
Burgess. and owned by Messrs. c. c. j..
Norris and E. c. Ruebsam. She is twenty
five feet racing length. Her crew will be

Mr.. Ed. Cleary, given a reefing wind. will
cause all the boats to hustle. She is
twenty-eight feet on the water, and her
sailing master is Mr.. Cleary.

blocks will be oiled, decks will be washed
and running and standing riggings over
hauled and put In perfect condition; and
when oil Is ready, and the measurer of the
club has made his calculations, each yacht
of the fleet will be given a chance to show
her prowess and justify the confidence her
owners and friends have placed in her.
Last year a change was made in the
original rules, and the handsome silver cup

the quickest boat in stays in the fleet, and
though she has large sail area, carries no
ballast of any kind. She Will be COM
manded by Mr.. Townsend, who will be as
sisted by Ranzle Brown and d. ]. Flynn,
and as they are thoroughly familiar with
her peculiarities, she will be in sight at
the finish
Hilda is a pretty little sloop that is owned
by Mr.. Alfred Doolittle. She has no top
mast, and carries only a mainsail and jib,
but, owing to her design, this will probably
prove her best rig. She is but eighteen feet
over ALL and will be sailed by her owner.
PROVIDING she has the wind to her liking
there is no doubt that she will give good
account of herself.
There will be but one catboat and that is
appropriately named Catfish. She is owned
and will be handled by Mr. Leonard Huntress
Dyer. She is small, being only sixteen feet
Nns. she carries an enormous mainsail,

IN addition to the boats named above
that will race there are other boats in the

Hermit is the rather unusual name of
handsome little canoe yawl that was de-
signed and built by Mr.. l. P. Llbbey men,
Der of the club. She is owned and sailed by
DR.. Chas. A. Davis. She entered the race
last year, but will not be with the flyers
this time. Being a small canoe, she is
hardly fitted to race on the same condi-
tions with the larger and heavier boats

The time limit for the race will be seven

Arsenal Point across stream. In this way
a good view will be had from the shore of
all the interesting parts of the contest.
The yacht club, while not one of the
best-known institutions of the city, has
had a steady and healthy growth ever since
its inception, nearly four years ago. The
club was organized October 10, 1892, and
It's effect has been felt in a considerable
increase in yachting on the Potomac.
There are about twenty active members,

Several yachts are owned by members
jointly, while one of the members owns
two yachts. so that the feet numbers al
together fifteen boats. Headquarters of
the club during the season are at a wharf
near the arsenal, but a club room is also
kept up in the National Theater building
where the members meet during the win
ter and talk over the sport they have had
and are going to have.
But ii is in the summer that the yachts
men are in their element. Then they scour
the surface of the Potomac, venturing as
far down as the bay, and many are the
good times they have on their little out
'ingS. Nearly every Saturday a number
of the boats start off for a trip down the
river, returning late Sunday night or early
Monday morning. and every year the ma
jority of the members spend their va
cations on cruises down the Potomac.
quite a number of the yachts are fitted
up with ample sleeping accommodations so
that their crews are not compelled to go

Sewing and Economy.


I might suggest that the woman who
does her own sewing spends more for ma
terials than another woman spends both
fer materials and work who goes to first
class professionals. She does so because
having in her mind the notion that her
sewing costs nothing because she does it
herself, she makes her capacity for sew
ing the measure of her Sclf-indulgence i'm
buying. Furthermore, she is forced soon
err and oftener to replace her homemade
clothes than is the woman who is wise
and prudent enough to employ skilled
labor.
All this, however, is of little account i'm
estimating the character and effects of her
economy, compared with the fact that
woman. working like a slave at sewing or
at anything else in the home and counting
the value of her work nothing in estimating
the cost of what she has produced, thus
degrades every condition Of woman's work
and debases the value of her every product
What 1t Is worth nothing to do, it is to
nobody'S interest to improve doing and
what woman can do for nothing at home
nobody naturally considers worth much if
she is driven to do the same work for paw
outside.
For the industrial advancement of the
sex, and, indeed, for the industrial adj
vancement of society, women need to learn
that no work they do in the home costs
nothing, and they need TO study what this
cost is. / don't know Il better beginning
to this end than to o. ~niZe work in the
home on the principle "ich secures sue

when the policeman went out with the

was followed by sergeants in citizens

watching superiors saw him and decided
to await developments An hour or so
later a window was pushed up and the

followed the ringing signal with the
club on the brick wall. This explained
to the watchers how 1t was that while
they on previous occasions had heard the
signal they had never been able to find
the man who made it. The club was
drawn inside, the win dow let down and
for another hour or SO the sergeants
watched and waited to see the same per-
formance repeated. For five hours and
over they remained there whils the
patrolman continued costly inside. About
two hours before the time for him to go
of duty the shirk came out OF his resting
place and started on tour of his beat,

the seven hours he was supposed TO have
been on duty. There was a reckoning
subsequently, which resulted in that par
