Yachts For Trial Races.

While there will be no cup race between
the big single stickers this season, and
about all of the racing in the big classes
will be between the Colonia and the i'm
proved Emerald, there will be plenty of
racing among the smaller boats, partic-
ularly in the new 20 foot or one rater
class, in which there will be an inter
national race between this country and
Canada for the Seawanhaka cup, won
last year by the Canadian half rater
Glencairn. Over dozen 20 footers are
now building for the trial races next
June in Oyster bay, and some decided

of construction in various parts Of the

advanced, and some of them will be

Indoor Tennis.

"Indoor tennis, says an admirer Of
tennis, has received little recognition
in this country, which is III marked
contrast to the interest shown for it
across the water No facilities whatever
are offered by the numerous athletic
clubs of America for this branch of the
game. Last year, for the first time in
the history of tennis in this country, an
indoor handicap tournament was held.
The tournament succeeded i'll more ways
than one. The discovery of so many
young players of decided promise was a
point for those who wish To see tennis
become a permanent sport III this coun-
try. This game, far more than any other
sport, demands that one should begin
playing at an early age. if any gseat de-
gree of proficiency is expected. vropor
tionately there are probably as many
young players in this country as Eng
land, but with the exception of G ex-
perience gained from practice and tour
nament playing, their training is left
entirely to themselves. "-Exchange

A pretty and artistic way in which to
treat the floors of bedrooms, especially
those in summer homes, is described by
The Decorator and Furnisher. 1t is TO
enamel them in the colors used ON metal
bedsteads. These dull shades harmonic
beautifully with the new wall papers
and the mating and denim used for

will be better If the floor matches the

THE SPORTING WORLD.

What is the secret Of the bicycles
popularity? Why, simply this: AS far as
business is concerned il Is a cheap, eff
Client, practical, speedy and altogether
satisfactory method Of conveyance for
certain purposes, and for such purposes
il is bound To grow in use. As for the far
larger field of pleasure IL has gained and
secured its hold because Of the constant
changes and never ending novelty which
il brings To the rider Other sports may
offer equal exercise or pleasure under
certain conditions, but the opportunities
are almost always limited. Sport which
must be confined TO field, track, or
some other special locality will not at
tract for any length of time many ex-

ficient. With cycling this is different

There is no set rule and limitation, and

the enjoyment of pleasures which could

The Story Of Jim the Penman. {"

The revival Of the once phenomenally
successful play, Jim the Penman,
In this city about ten years after its
original production here is matter of
more than ordinary interest. This ster.
ling play, which is one of the best of
the type of clean society drama ever
seen in this country, was written by Sir
Charles Young Of London. His friends
were all confident that there would be
no difficulty in finding manager to
produce it. But the friends were mis-
taken, as they usually are, and no one
could be found in London who was
willing TO risk dollar. Then Sir
Charles came to this city with the man
uscript and after visit to each of the
theatrical magnates he returned to his
native heath still with his cherished
play. Then the friends advised him to
give the piece a special performance iii
London SO that the managers might
have an opportunity to Judge intelli-
gently of its merits, as the work was
one which even the author admitted
would act better than it would read
Sir Charles had plenty money, and he
followed ont this suggestion with the
result that for period of about five
years he wa drawing enormous weekly
royalties on his play Still, IL he had
not been man of some means, il is not
at all certain that Jim the Penman, "
which has earned several fortunes,
would not be now reposing peacefully

Especial Correspondence. ]


There are probably very few persons
in this city, outside of the residents OF
the lower sections of the extreme east
side, who are aware of the existence Of
the sample shoe stores Ii seems incom-
prehensibie that these places should be
able to make living for the reason
that they sell only sample shoes, and as
these never come in pairs tine purchaser
must look about and get the nearest APP
proach To mates that he can find. Some
times the resemblance happens to be 80
great that the shoes would pass ordinary
muster, and again they are so unlike
that the feet of the wearer at once become
the most conspicuous portion OF his per-
sonality. Still, there IL "A reason for the
existence of the sample shoe stores and
that reason, as might be supposed, is
the price at which the wares are sold.
In most cases it is about one third what
the goods would bring ut the regular
establishments To the very poor this
is al important consideration and one
for which they are usually willing to
make some sacrifice in the matter Of APP
pearances Shoes which If they were
mates would sell for about s. pair
often go in these places for about : To
$3.50 AS they are of fine quality and
wear well the economy is obvious.

A Club Building For Women.

1t Legins TO look as though the long
talked OF club building for women
would some day be reality. The prof.
ect contemplates the erection of 20
story editice, which will be cut up into
apartments for the sole benefit of those
members of the gentler sex who do not
believe that their sex is the gentler one
at all-now there! No male person will
be permitted to reside within the sacred
confines of the building or even to have
an office in H. A restaurant and all OF
the conveniences usually TO be found in
a we'll appointed apartment house Of
the better class will be provided, and it
is the opinion of those who ought to
known about such matters that the
scheme is perfectly feasible from every
standpoint, including the pecuniary
one. There is at any rate no doubt
whatever that tn ere are enough women
in this city who would like such home
10 make il successful, unless the restric
tions imposed are of such nature as 10
arouse resentment, with the consequent
loss of patronage. Especially is this true
of the thousands of women who have
come here TO earn living from every
corner OF the country and who have no
relatives sufficiently near to them to
warrant them in considering their abode
as home. OF course, no one whose
character is not above suspicion will be
admitted and the place will be an emf
nently respectable one. 1t is interesting
to know that the plans for the projected
building and all of the estimates for it
were made by women. The superintend-
ent and all of the officers will be WON
EN-, and the only members of the sterner
sex who will be allowed to earn liv-
ing in the establishment will be the
firemen and engineers
