CURIOUS LANDMARK.
It Never Fails to Excite the Inter
est of Yachtsmen.
The Upturned Bow Section of the
Yacht Caprice Is Now n Paint
Shop-Why 1t Was Reduced to
So Base Use.

One of the most curious landmarks
along Long Island sound, and one that
never fails to excite the interest of the
vachtsman who sees it for the first time,
lands on the short of Northport bay.
From the distance it looks like large
Indian tepee. On a nearer view it is
seen to be the bow of a finely modelled
yacht, apparently sticking right up out
of the earth. Approaching closer, the
puzzled yachtsman discovers tits really
house.
This freak structure, says the New
York Sun, stands in Hawkins shipyard,
overlooking the bay. It's history in
wolves the story of novel and in
genious operation on the old steam
Yacht Caprice, by which she was trans
formed into another boat and a build
ing. The Caprice was &c feet long and
was purchased in 1895 by Benjamin NJ.
Whtlock, who admired her particularly
fine lines. He decided to have larger
boat however, and wanted her to be a
duplicate in model of the Caprice. TO

Caprice extended fore and aft. keep
ing as much of the original midship sec
tion of the hull as possible. He accord
ingiy engaged H. }. Gielow, the designer
Of fast going steam yachts, to make the
plans. and the work was done in Hawk
ms yard at Port jefferson.
The Caprice. which had formerly been
the Henry Douglas. built in 1885 for
Charles Schoen, of Philadelphia. was
carefully taken apart. When this was
completed the old yacht stood in three
sections. From the midship section.
only - feet long, a new yacht 50 feet
over all was built and named the Telka

BuriaI Place of Csars.

The cathedral fortress of Saints Peter
and Paul, whence the wreaths have
been sold that decorated the tomb
of the late czar. lies on an outstanding
peninsula in the Neva, says the West
minister Gazette 1t is a combination
of military museum and mausoleum.
All the czars since Peter the Great,
except Peter H.. have been buried there.
The walls of the building are completely
hung with trophies, wreaths of silver
and gold; faded lunches of flowers and
lavender, with silver work in imitation
of flowers These are all hung on a
background of black cloth. There are
also a number Of personal relics Some
of the wreaths have been lying in the
cathedral for years, and the place would
look cleaner and tidier if they were re-
moved.

About this time Hawkins discovered

About this time Hawkins discovered
that he needed new paint shop, so he
bought the complete bow section and
stood it on end in his yard. with the
sharp cutwater pointing to the sky. In
the starboard side of the deck he cut a
door. and the forward hatch served
nicely as a window.
Hawkins then had building 20 feet
high that afforded him large, com
modious. well-ventilated room with an
absolute watertight roof. The short
bowsprit he makes use of as flagstaff,
and that is what most puzzles the voy-
aging yachtman when from the dis
tance he espies the clean, bright bow
of big boat sticking up from among
the trees with the union jack flying
from her stem.
The Telka proved to be fine, fast
craft and was sold by Mr.. Whitlock to
Commodore Mollenhauer, at present
owner of the crack flyer Presto, de-
signed by Mosher. Later she was dis
posed of to a St. Louis yachtSman and
all lnal now remains III tDt east Ol llle
old Caprice is the forward section
which has caused so much comment
among yachtsmen. Mr.. Whitlock is at
present the owner of the bark-rigged
auxiliary Hildegarde, which was built
as a fore-and-aft schooner for his royal
highness the prince of Wales.
As soon as Mr.. Whitlock got posses
sion of the Hildegarde he began max
ing a series of alterations in her quite
as radical and startling as his metamor-
phosis of the hull of the Caprice. In
this case, however the alterations were
made in the rig of the craft. From her
original fore-andaft rig she was trans
formed to topsail schooner by put
ting yards on the foremast This rig
satisfied Mr.. Whitlock for one season,
but early last spring the rejuvenated
Hildegarde was placed in commission
as a full-rigged bark, the mizzenmast
being made from the S5-foot boom of
her fore-aDd-aft mainsail.

TO SHIP GRASS SODS. y
To Ba Handled Like Coal or Brick
anu Can be Used Ia Any
Country.

James Bradford Olcott. of South Man
chester, has originated new idea in
his turf-grass culture propaganda.
With a foot of snow on the ground it
would seem to the average observer
that progress in grass culture would
be brought to a halt. not to be stimu
lated until the suns warm rays had
melted the SHOWS and encouraged the
tender shoots Of a new grass year. But
to a man like Mr.. OlcOtt. who gives all
his time to the subject of grass culture,
it matters little what the season is.
His desire to manage grass garden
in California is still dream of the fu-
ture, as legislative wheels move slow
w. So he has been stalled at his splen-
did ranch in South Manchester his car
pet of grasses being covered deep in
SNOW. He has not been idle, however,
and perhaps his time has been spent
to better advantage than had he been
testing grass growth under strange
conditions. His new scheme is one
that will recommend itself to the man
nor less than to make Of pure grass u
commodity. capable of being trans
ported like coal or brick. The scheme
is variation on that of transplanting
sod, as it is frequently seen in the sum-
mer time when a new lawn is being
sndded. This is the Lasic idea and Mr..
Ocott has busted himself in improving
and celebrating ii.
1t is also apparent that in these sods,
As fine as velvet, he has a valuable OBJ
jcct lesson in turf grass culture. For
use at agricultural colleges. in the pub
lie schools or in the lecture room. he
has a thoroughly interesting ana
unique collection. In these cold. bleak
months Of the year how often one sighs
for the summer skies and the green
turf of summer. Well, Mr.. Olcott can
furnish the green turf. as downy to the
touch as a piece Of silk; and with the
soft touch and fragrant smell of the
sod the imagination can easily do the
rest.
Mr.. OlcOtt was seen by reporter and
asked to talk about his ''obiect les
SON" He was very free to discuss the
subject. and in his own pungent way
said:
This is what a friendly and instruct
cd eye may consider a close imitation

THE day is coming when fine turf
will be shipped with safety and dis

bricks.

WASHINGTON'S FINE TACT.
He Was Too Discreet to BE Drawn
Into PhiladeIphia's RendinS
Social Warfare.

The social punctilio of the Philadel.
phia assembly was enforced perhaps
more rigidly in the early colonial days
than it is to-day, for when girl whose
name had been on its lists of the
chosen indiscreetly took a goldsmith
and jeweler for a husband she was
dropped at once from participation in
the sacred functions for having com
mitted the objectionable crime of
"marrying in trade" The trade line
of demarcation, indeed, gave rise ulti-
mately to a social war. and a second
"assembly" was formed. made up chief
ly of the families of traGesmCn in op-
position to ''the aristocracy.' The con
f1ict came on while Washington was
living in Philadelphia as president. Sc
intense was it that each party strug-
gled to gain the favor of he great man
and his wife. The one 'asSem bly," an
nounced great ball in honor of his
birthday for the night before the 22d
of February; the other prepared for a
similar event the night afterward, and
the sagacious Washington delivered
himself from the dilemma by attending
both, and proposing on each occasion
the same toast-"The State of Penn
sylvania." But there was another YER
sion of the strife which gave much de-
light to the popuace in their specula-
tons over the rivalries of 'the quail
1y.' 1t was that Washington. who was
q good dancer. had gone to the ball
