and fixtures in place, lopsaijs extended
above the truck or beyond the gaf being

The sailing directions were very liber-
ally distributed among those interested,
In oruer TO avoid mistakes, and they in
cluded the statement that there would be
no time limit.
Considerable interest was taken in the
performance OF the old cup defender
candidate, Colonia. She has been trans
formed into a schooner and fitted with q
center board, although designed for a
keel boat. She is fitted up iuxuriously
and was looked upon, before the start,
as likely to beat anything In her class.
The start, for course No. 4, according
TO the program, was made from an
imaginary line drawn between Buoy 13
and the Judges boat anchored about two
cables length east of 1t, to Buoy IL, near

cept that Scotland Ightship was substi-
tuted for Sandy Hook Lightship.
All yachts had to pass TO the eastward
of West Bank Buoys and IL both going
and returning.
A stake boat, displaying large club
signal, was anchored to the westward of
Buoy II, and TO mark Buoy IL boat dis
playing large club signal was anchored
to the eastward OF It.
The preparatory gun was fired at 10:45
yachts TO get ready.
The start was made at IL q. m. by the
firing of the second gun, the lowering of
blue peter and the hosting OF red ball.
Tbereupon the single-masted vessels and
yawls got away.
A third gun was fired about ten minutes
later, as the signal for handicap time for
singie-masted vessels and two red balls
were displayed This was the start for
schooners.
After another ten minutes had elapsed
a fourth gun was fred, giving handicap
time, the balls were hauled down, and all
the feet of small craft was on its way
toward the Narrows.
The prizes were, for yachts in cruising
trim, $ft0 cup for the winner, II TWO or
more start, and $50 cup.for the second
craft, If four or more start.
For yachts in regular racing trim, the
prizes were 500 cup for the winner, II
two or more yachts start; 500 cup for

Mr.. Benjamin Franklin Kieth has had
a strange career, and and is still COM
paraitvely young man. lie was born at
Hiilsboro Brioge, but at the early ege OF
seven left home and began life Tor himself
on farm in Massachusetts,. From thence
he went into grocery store. When
A0rham Lincoln was murdered he started
out selling his pictures, for which there
was a great demand, and from that
drifted into various other small enter
prises, until In 1882 he went to Boston.
There he started mis- first show in room
about thirty-five feet by fifteen, tapering
TO about six feet in the rear. His sole
attraction then was "Baby Alice"
tiny midget. lie hired the room tor
week at a time, and when the man who
came TO fix the electric light asked how
long he would contract for, Mr.. Keith
said perhaps two or three weeks. That
two or three weeks, however, ran into az
years, at the end OF which Mr.. Keith in
stalled his own plant to light 5000 in
candescentand 90 arc lamps So success
full was this young Snowman that in 1886
he was able TO secure the Bijou Theater,
and sinoe then has acquired three other
theaters.
Mr.. Keith is a very quiet, unassuming
man, and is not at all inclined to boast of
what be has achieved, and this modesty,
Fam afraid prevented him from telling

has visited the theater in Boston. and
she tells me that ii is "as wholesome and
beautiful as high ideals and generous
&C cd taste can make it,. And 4 am glad
TO cay" she added. "that it is splendid
financial success"
