WILLIAMS YACHT.

Why The Britishers should have looked
coldiyupon the victory gained by Emperor
Williams new yacht Meteor in the Royal
Yacht Clubs races is one OF those things
no fellow canfind out and must be ascribed
~ the ineradicable insularity OF John Bulls
national temperament. The Meteor is an
English-built boat, was manned by an
English crew and sailed by an English
sailing master in English waters; at her
launch an English nobleman had stood
sponsor and tie only thing German about
her Is the owner, and he was not present.
Yet. when the Meteor passed the finish
line the people, according TO report, were
entirely undemonstrative, but they shouted
themselves hoarse when a minute later the
defeated Britannia, the yacht OF the Prince
of Wales, crossed the line. The conduct
of the Britishers was both unsportsman-
like and unmanly, and foolish besides, for
whatever of glory there was in the Meteor's
victory must fall 10 the builders and the
men who sailed her, and all these, as al
ready stated, are Englisimen.
1t is rather singular, by the way, that the
German Emperor should have found II
necessary or even deemed ii advisab BILE To
go Ia England to have n racer built with
which To- beat other English boats His
victory reflects no honor upon German
sportsmen, nor yet upon German ship
builders, nor upon German shippers. 1t
was British victory all the way froa
start Ia finish. Great shipyards are in Ills
dominions. At StettiD and other seaports
great vessels are built for the German
navT and for German commerce. 1t would
seem as though a sailing yacht might be
built there capable of making good
showing in an international race. Had the
Meteor been built al Stcttin and then, with
German crew and German sailing master
beaten the Britannia, there would have been
good cause for jubilation among German
sportsmen. As the case stands, it is stale,
flat and unprofitable.
We dc these things differently ip the
United States. We build our own boats
and then sail them against all comers.

Some time after he parted with the money
he was visited by the consul at Osaka and
Hioga, Japan.
"By the way" said the consul. "I mot n
charming fellow from your State not

was glad to entertain him."
The colonel was surprised, but knew
what was coming. "Dindn't lend him apy

WOMEN AT THE CONVENTION.

"The hand that rocks the cradle is the

gaining ground, and to it is due the crea-

women to full partnership with men in the
