buoy was reached. MCCARTHY made the
turn first but turned the wrong way and
was obliged to make another turn. In

Pete Trott's oar broke before he had
fairly got started and he dropped out,
leaving the contest between Frank Trott
and Webster. The latter made the turn
first but collided with Trott in SO doing.
Both men were in one another's way and
furnished lots of amusement to the
crowd on shore by their efforts to get
clear of one another. On the way back
to the finish Irots led and finished first
but the race was called draw and the
prize of So was divided.
After the races the battle between the

away and the stars and stripes waved
triumphantly over the Monitor. 1t was
an interesting exhibition.
The submarine explosion was novel
ty which the big crowd appreciated. A
large amount of dynamite was sunk off
shore and fred by fuse. When the ex-
plosion took place the water was thrown
into the air in high column and formed
pretty sight.

A Story of Inconsequence.


Mrs.. Cleeve was distinctly chagrined
When, before. had q man failed to keel

in town for a few days. and would din,
with him that night. at MAYORS. Their,
she was In the reception room. on time
but where was he? Perhaps the stu.
pid had not made out her note. Sh.
usually did. TO give him practice. but
she thought she would confine herself
to French in the future. Why should
she bother about educating him in q
matter that was of no advantage to
her?
Mrs. Cleeve was q strikingly pretty
woman and q divorce: the combina-
tion was attractive. Men found her
amusing-she found them convenient.
Having knocked about much for so
young q woman. she had learned wis
dom. Of a certain kind. and II stood
her in good stead. She kept straight
enough. though she sailed pretty close
to the wind. and there were times when
she might have gone to leeward but
for her boy. He adored his mother,
and she tried in her way. to live up
20 his ideal OF her.
People passed in and out OF the room
and Mrs. Cleeve grew restless. An
evening on her hands was not a pleas
ant prospect Well. II she could not
amuse herself she could go out into
the suburbs and see q cousin with
whom she sometimes stayed. A ride
in an open electric car would be re-
freshing that hot summer night. She
took Denegre out there once, she re-
membeced, and he got absurdly SEN
timental on the piazza. 1t was the
trees and the moonlight she supposed,
or possibly the punch. 1t was usually
on tap out there on warm evenings.
Mrs. Cleeve reached the house to
find II closed, and was altogether dis
gusted with life when she took the car
home. She spread herself out on the
end OF the seat. and was Specializing
on the perversity Of things in general
and man in particular. when she was
attracted by a familiar figure on the
street. and gave a little start Of sur
prise as she saw Mr.. Denegre He had
been looking at her before she saw
him, and when she smiled and waved
her hand, he raised his hat and boarded
the car.
Mrs. Cleeve moved along to make
room for him. STOPPING to pull her vol
luminous skirts about her. and began to
talk at once.
You stupid thing" she said, did
you think I was stopping out here?"
But when she raised her head and
turned her eyes upon him she uttered
IN exclamation. 1t was not Paul De-
negre, but q man 30 exactly like him
that he might have passed anywhere.
IL beg your pardon" she said hur-
riedly, lit appears 1t Is I who am stu

The man bowed gravely. May not

quiet and courteous. Il am passing
