A WOMAN'S WAY.

This can be said of woman's way
And indeed in truth may not be de-
MED
She loves him best whom she least can
For be YOU humble she cries you nay
The key to her heart is a careless
pride,
This can be said of a woman's way,
Plead with her, fool, till your locks are
gray;
She loves him. best whom she least can
sway.
The wise man says: i will love aer,
But keep my strength If she stand
defed,"
This can be said Of woman's way.
Many 4 swair. will her smile obey.
But others this prccept theit path
shall guide
She loves him best whom she least can
sway
And he WHO yields ami comes 10 pray
Far better indeed n her feet mad

This can ho said OF A womans way
And / III smiling mood | say,
What fate i'll the old days prophesil I.
This can he said Of a womans way.
She Loves Linn best whom she least "a

SHORT OF WIND.
First of the International Yacht Races
Fails Berause of Calm.


Toledo, o., Aug. 25.-The attempt to
sail the first international race between
the Canada and Vencedor for the in
terstate yachting championship on Lake
Erie off Toledo, Menday, resulted in a
failure on account of lack of wind, as the
regatta committee declared the race
off at three o'clock p. m. after the
yachts had drifted about for four hours.
When the race was called the Canada,
which had q lead of over a mile, had
only covered six miles or about quar-
ter of the course and was half way be-
tween the first and second marks on,
the first round. The race was witnessed
by big crowd of spectators and nearly
100 steam and sailing craft followed
the racers over the course. The Cana
dians were naturally greatly elated
over the showing of their champion,
while the yachtsmen on our side of the
border were not pleased over the re-.
suit.
AS matter of fact the original con-
ditions have handicapped the Vencedor
SO that it will be little short of a mira-
Gle if she wins in light wind, though
she will undoubtedly do well in a blow
AS it is she is under-canvassed and can
not do herself justice. The course was
a triangular one of L. miles, four miles
to the leg, and sailed over twice, start
ing by crossing an imaginary line drawn
between a stake boat and the steam
yacht Sigma, thence west by north half
north to a stake boat anchored off
Monroe pier, thence northeast to second
stake boat, thence south by east quar-
ter to east to starting point. The wind
at three p. IN. having dropped to fiat
calm the regatta committee declared
the race off for the day, as it was i'm
possible to finish it within the required
time limit. The yachts will sail over
the same course to-day.
