Messrs. Coates. Taylor and

lnittee by the authorities Of st. Cloud
to confer with representatives 81
other places along the upper Missis-
sippl concerning the control of logs
In the river, have prepared a bill
which will soon be introduced in the
legislature. The bill ia as follows:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT TO REGULATE THE
DRIVING OF LOGS AND OTHERFLOAT-
~ ABLEs IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
@ Be 1t enacteu by the legisla ture Of

and each of them, hereby are required

Unique Society Hold a Regatta
 with Tiny Boats.

 citing Contest.
 TCopyright, 1897.1

The New York Model Yacht club, re gently organized, would seem. to anyone not member, to be made up of adults who are decidedly children of larger growth The club is composed of men whose chief delight in life it is to sail toy yachts, like those which may be seen on any of the lakes of our city parks. This queer pastime, which has always been considered fit only for very small boys. has nevertheless been seized upon by a coterie of middle-aged men, who have found it a source of such enjoy ment that they think and talk of little else in their leisure hours. The Model Yacht club is as serious a matter to the members who sail the toy boats as is the crack yacht club of America to the men who own boats of seagOing ton mage.
 On Labor day the Model Yacht club celebrated by holding a regatta in Flushing bay, and never was regatta of full-sized boats attended with more enthusiasm than was this race of baby craft. The rules of the club, drawn up after much thought, were adequate to cover every emergency. A regular course had been arranged consisting of three legs, and the usual rounding of a stake-boat, as in races of boats of the ordinary size. The toy yachts were given time allowance, according to the measurements and sail area; the ordi- nary yachting rules prevailing on this point
 Then the yachts were arranged for the start. The scene was novel one. In the bow of a rowboat, propelled by two oarsmen, knelt the owner of each toy yacht, holding his boat in readi-

skirts promise to be with us before the season is over, it is likely to be the favored material.
 At present. however, satin-faced cash meres are used for plain skirts. heavily embroidered with silk braid, or with applique scrolls of alpaca. These scrolls are often run up on the hips, accentuat- ing the size of that part of our anatomy.
 Poplin also promises to be much worn. Even that has been affected by the demand for satin-faced materials, and has a finish more smooth than usual. It is to be seen in both figured and plain patterns. Plaids, checks and stripes are considered smart, and will be very fashionable for wear with plain coats. POplins of plain colors are most satisfactory, however. Dark brown and blue are the best to select Dark brown, trimmed with gold braid, and worn with brown velvet jacket, makes very fetching costume.
