the first of the new collectors to be
chosen by the Street and Sewer Depart

when a woman Of inouiring mind sitting next
the aisle, taking q long hatpin from her hat
gave 1t a vicious thrust into the leg Of o passing
ghost.
The result was totally unexpected.

a way that made the blood OF the offender con.

the aisle.
The investigator afirms that after her blood
had thawed out and she was in a condition TO
think over the episode calmly. she became con-

10 eco ideas and vagariea, Skates and
Alankas, or even Momos and Sharks In the
larger classes1 II we are, even in a mod.
flied form, serious harm to yachting as a
sport is sure to result. And the reason Ia
obvious. Speed In these smaller boats is
gained by what one might almost call the
elimination Of the underwater body and the
great increase OF heeled length and de-
crease OF heeled width over the same at
rest, giving q more or less modified
scow form. This Is all right in small
boats when all you have to do is to hang on
the weather rail for two or three hours and
can then get on board the ever-present
naphtha launch and tow the winning racer
to It's anchorage. But while 1t Ia all right
to build small freaks, 1t would be danger.
Gus to yacht racing to apply the Same
principle to larger boats.
We AVE gone SO far already In cutting
away the boa proper and In deepening the
a~ppcndage or fin that 1t is difficult to pro-
vide decent accommodations for the crew
except In the very large schooners and
sloops. Now, II we carry it still further.
the boats will be absolutely uniphabitablc,
with no room below, and will besides be
hard to handle In extremes of weather.
Whatever the result may be in Canada,
whether we win back the cup or not, small
boat racing should continue. All that
should be guarded against is too liberal
application Of lessons learned In small
boats to the larger vessels.

Capt. CAMM PATrEsoN will go to the Vir

pared to advise the throwing OF Of all shred Of

that. inasmuch as a great part Of the Federal
revenue must be raised by Imports, at is not
only common sense. but true. sound Democratic
doctrine to SO frame a tariff as to give the
strongest possible incidental protection to
American industries. especially the farmers
and landholders and producers Of raw mate
rial" People who still fiaunt the motto Of q
tariff for revenue only" may be opposed to
CAMM on this point, but they are bound to agree
with him that 1.-THE effort Of the late Grover
Cleveland Administration to let in raw mate
rails free was to give abnormal and unjustih-
able protection to New England manufacturers"
We won't stop to quarrel with his adjectives.
but, even with his liking for protection. his in
tolerance OF free raw material makes CAM
PATTEsoN a sounder Democrat. according to
the revenue only standard. than any statesman
associated with the Cleveland administrator

To THE EDITOR or The SuS-Sir: At the top Of the

statement on the part OF one OF your exchanges. The
article headed Harder Than a Diamond" refers to
NJ. MoisSan's invention OF titanium carbide, u sub
stance to he used In diamond cutting. The article.
referring to titanium, asserts: There Is none of IL on
the market In the metallic state. and probably not an
ounce could be obtained at any price by advertising
for it."
Now. on tho contrary. In Merck's Index ns9O), n
standard work with all chemists. the price OF tita-
mum. Is stated TO be 90. 80 for fifteen grains. In the
catalogues OF several different dealers I md tho same
price to prevail, which seems to show that the mari et

An article published In TIE SuN some weeks ago

TO a person at all interested in the future
Of yachting the recent series of races be-
tween the 2O-footers Incorrectly called
one-raters) has been fraught with much
that was of value. These little boats, built
solely for speed, without regard to cost or
comfort, have brought about a new epoch
in yachting. Their speed is best described
by the remark of a man sailing on one of
the larger yachts: 81 saw one of the little
freaks abeam as we started for the second
mark. and when we got to the mark she
was there, too" This was from the deck of
q modern 46.footer in a strong breeze: the
little boat could be hoisted on the davits
of the larger one, and her sail would hardly
make a cover for the others baby jib topsail.
When the Seawanhaka Challenge Cup
for small yachts was offered it was with
the idea of stimulating and developing the
smaller classes of boats, and giving in this
way sport on the water to men who could
not afford the extremely expensive modern
racing yacht. The result has been very sat
isfactory. Many boats have been quilt and
much skill and originality has been shown
in the design and build. A speed has
been shown by the little crafts never before
approached by anything of their size. They
are very shoal draught boats in hull
proper, with either a deep weighted fin or
metal centreboard shaped like n knife or
dagger blade to give them lateral resist
ance and stability. Their sails being sim
ply mainsail and III with spinnaker and
reaching jib, they are comparatively simple
TO handle, and to race In one of these little
flyers with their low freeboard, great speed,
and teetotum-like ability to whirl about,
will give even the seasoned racing man an
entirely new sensation.
In strong breezes they are sailed by alter.
nately easing and trimming in sheets while
the helmsman holds them directly on their
course. The reason for this is that their ex.
IRENE lightness causes them to lose head
way so quickly that If they are luffed so
as TO lose even for n moment the propelling
power of the sails, there is danger OF paying
of and perhaps upsettlng when they I'LL
away, due to not having steeragc way on.
Taking them all through, they are very
interesting boats to sail in, and a class of
yachtsmen trained TO handle them to adj
vantage would be able to manage almost
any othertype, as they are quicker and more
sensitive than any boats heretofore built.
Freaks though they he, these boats are
worthy of encouragement but, as the par
rot said when he fell in the soup and was
scalded, What's nextf' Are we going
