The passengers on a Staten Island ferryboat
yesterday morning were interested observers Of
| a yacht race, ON q small scale, and under pecu-
liar conditions. just after the boat left the
Staten Island shore two men, each in a row
boat, were seen to be cautiously pulling after
two objects that were apparently swimming
Just ahead of them. As the ferryboat drew
alongside 1t was seen that the objects pursued
were model yachts. OF perhaps three or four feet
water line, full rugged, and keeling over in
the breeze until their lee rails were awash.
They were sailing as beautifully as though
each had been manned by a liliputian crew,
and at that stage Of the race neither appeared
to have the advantage. Behind them came
the owners Of the yachts in rowboats. Each
man was pulling away a good stroke, from
time to time looking over his shoulder TO SEQ
how his yacht was getting on. The rowers

Whenever o general excitement, like that
over the new gold fields on the Klondike. breaks
out, the east side has the fever at the right time,
and 1t usually develops a peculiar method for
treating 1t. One night last week moro than a
hundred young Germans met In a lower cast
side saloon and organized a Klondike company,
to which each was to contribute a proportionate
share. Speeches were made, telling Of the great
fortunes that were to DO secured in that gold
country, and the young organizers were impa-
tient to start for II at once. The men who Or
ganized the meeting said that it was their pur-
pose to get together a company large enough to
permit them to charter q ship. in which they
promise. He said that the young Germans in all
OF the neighboring towns were interested In tho
CLUBS to Cooperate With that formed in this city.
SO far as could be learned, none OF these gold
seekers had ever panned a grain OF ore, and few
of them had ever had any experience In rough
ing it. The amount of money collected from
each subscriber TO the company was $25. and up
to date no boat has been chartered for the trip.
