COSTLY SPORT.

To the men Immediately interested
international yacht-racing is the cost
Hest sport in the world. The bill for
the yachts themselves, for building. al
teratiGns and repairs, will amount to
fully $zb0,00O for each; the expense of
racing them costs their respective own
ers easily $780, 600 more. Here is a cool
million just for building and racing the
boats. The sails alone cost as much
as an ordinary sailing yacht. The Co
lumbias sails are said to have cost
$4,000, and the Shamrock's even more
for hers were woven to order from
Egyptian and Sea Island cotton mixed
with silk The expense of maintain
ing II e crew was, or rather is, enor-
nous, for the boats are not yet out of
commission. 1t is said that the skip
per of the Columbia receives $1,000 for
his services. The salary Of the mate
is 800 a month; the second mate, $40;
the +, ur quartermasters, $S5 a month
eacl: ano the 80 members of the crew
each $50 a month. Food for the crew
costs easily 5000 a month; each tender
>
the few weeks of the season, and dock
age and tonnage cost about $4,000 more
for each yacht Estimates Of the to-
tai cost of the Shamrock have been
placed all the way from $780, 900 to $780,
600 Probably Sir Thomas himself does
not know exactly what his little sport
has cost him; there are doubtless stacks
of bills yet to be presented-suc bills
as SIS 900 for the charter of four tend
ers, and $500 wages for twenty extra
sailmakers for three months. Besides
all this, Sir Thomas paid $2T5,000 for his
steam yacht, his sea-home, the Erin,
! 100000 more in fitting her out, and an
other 100000 in entertaining guests
during his visit. The most impressive
| feature about this array of costs is that
the yachts upon which sc much has
been spent are useless after the races.
The Columbia, for instance, can race
no more, for there will probably be no
yacht fit to meet her. and for cruising
she would be a failure. In a year OF
two hel delicate hull will be worth
only the metal Of which it is made.
The money spent by yacht owners in
entertaining also reaches far into six
| figm eS. Commodore Morgan entertained
at least 100 guests every race day; and
Howard Gould and John Jacob Aston
entertained even "a greater number

USE FOR oLDwATcH CASES
May Be Made Into Attractive Pincush-
ions for the Bureau.

Many families have somewhere care
fully laid away small collections of old
time watches which vary in style from
the round, thick bull's-eye down to the
fiat, open-faced gold watch. The works
of these watches are practically value
less and the cases would bring trif1ing
amount if sold for either old gold or
silver Sentiment seems to cling about
the faithful timepieces, and here is a
way of bringing them into action once
more as small pincushions for the bu-
reau.
The change is readily made. Have a
silversmith take out the works and fill
in the hole left by the thumb-piece.
The round metal case is then ready,
and is an admirable receptacle to hold
the pincushion, which should be snug
ly fitted to it and made of a shade of
velvet that matches the bureau trim
mings. Gay colors are by far the most
effective Many of the old Dutch
watches are fancifully engraved with
ships and windmills, and when this is
so and the cushions are we'll made up
they form attractive ornaments in a
blue and white room.-New York Sun.
