on sports. who recently passed through
Seattle. while on tour in the interest
of Harper's. has returned home. He Is
now telling the readers Of the Weekly what
he thinks Of the condition Of sports in diff

Whitney after enjoying the Injuries Of
some Of those magnificent easy chairs IN
the Aultnomah A. A. c.. and the hospi-
taiity of the polished diplomats Of the
same club. has come to the conclusion
that the communicating influences of pro-
fessional spirit has never reached that
club. He says over his signature in SUBJ

that he presumed that Mr.. Whitney. while
in Portland. had awaited himself of the

forgotten to inquire into athletic matters.
Still another remarked that the idea Of

The new schooner ". J. Bryant at
tractsd a great deal OF attention on the
water front yesterday afternoon and won
a great many admirers by the manner IN
which she behaved herself. Her owners
and a number OF invited friends were
aboard. and although II was biting cold
on the bay. they did not feel IT, as the
enthusiasm over the good sailing qualities
of tho schooner warmed them up to almost
boiling point After leaving her berth the
Bryant made for West Seattle. The wind
about this time had died down considerably.
but there was enough to show that the
newcomer was a good sailer In light winds.
When Duwamish head was reached, the
wind freshcned. and the skipper, Ben Col
by. gave the command to put about, which
was no sooner done than the fine big sails
caught the wind and the boat fairly flew
through the water. Whit her sails
close hauled she heeled over beautifully.
and n seemed as 10 1t were only a few
minutes before she reached the water front
on this side She came about opposite
yesier dock and cruisei about for an hour
longer. Talk about going" said one of
the party aboard her. why. that doesn't
express IL; she simply flies through the
water. She wouldn't do a thing TO the
Aggie In any kind of a breeze. Oh no.
