MONTREAL, August 16.-Saturday's race
in the Seawanhaka-C orinthian internal
tional challenge cup series, despite the ac-
cident to Glencairn. was pretty generally
accepted by the Canadian yachtsmen as
showing that Mofno. in a moderate breeze.

hopes of Mr.. Duggan and the crew of the
Canadian defender rose high when. at Z
o'clock this morning, good stiff wind was
kicking up the white caps on Lake st.
and their hopes with it.
About 30 o'clock this morning heavy
rain storm came on. and by 0 o'clock the
weather had become very muggy, and the
wind had fallen to less than three miles an
hour. AT 10 o'clock more favorable condi-
tons began to prevail. The wind had
freshvnsd somewhat, and was blowing
four miles. The weather began to clear.
and the prospects of good race after all
began TO look brighter.
No Harm From Accident.

her accident. Immediately on her arrival
at the yacht club house after the race
work was at once begun on her. and by

o'clock about half an hour before the start,
the wind was Stiffening considerably, and

Chicago. ITALIAN Child Marriages.

From the Chicago Int.r-Ocean.
Marriage at fifteen or sixteen for girls Is
positively obligatory II they expect to hold
ian society. Plenty of instances are to be
found where these little oldish. dark-eyed.
shrill-vo:ced women have married at twelve.
A rather ludicrous and curious example
came under the notice of factory inSpec-
tor two or three years ago.
If an Italian girl Is not married before she
is eighteen the neighbors begin to talk and
Angelica is an old maid. They usually
marry one of their countrymen, or some
times an Irish.nan. The Irish and Italians
mix better than the Italians and any other
class. The men marry older than the wo-
men. There seems to be no period of hap
Ply girlhood for Italian women. They are
children until they are twelve. Then they
marry in two or three years and begin the
cares of life.
Besides the urging of parents and the tat
tie of friends, Italian children are induced
to marry by the advice often of their
priests. Their condition of life is wretched
at home. One room or at most two suffices
for family Of a dozen. The little girls go
out on the streets unprotected at night.

o'clock. In the crowded factories they are
subjected to all sorts of temptation. For
this reason the priests usually maintain
that an early marriage is the best for the
girls. 1t Is notable fact, attributable per-
haps to this that Italian women and girls
nearly always lead virtuous lives
