The Cavite, Capt. Douglas new twenty
tooter, made her initial appearance on
White Bear yesterday and showed a
pretty pair OF heels to the Keewayden,
her speedy rival, sailed by H. L. Merrill
in the only race that was finished in any
of the classes
A spanking breeze blew from the west
all afternoon and gave the sailors all
the sport they wanted for one after
noon.
The two boats Of the twenty -three-foot
class, Aurelia and Akela, started off
nose and nose. but on the return to CEN
ter from the Clark street buoy the
Akela was leading DR.. McLaren's crack
yacht about two minutes, when a sud-
den squall struck her from the leeward
and sent her over on her side and sew
eral of her crew into the water Capt.
Griggs soon had all his men standing at
the pumps and the water was bailed out
of her and she put into shore.
The twenty one-footers did not enter
the race, owing to the wind.
Walter Schley Morton gave the signal
from the lookout on the club house YER
anda promptly at 3:35 for the twenty
three-footers. The Akela got over the
line nineteen seconds ahead and pointed
to the center buoy after a long tack
While beating down from center to
Clark street, the Akela broke her lib.
and also had some trouble with her
malnsheet on account of some of the
tackle being carried by the board The
Aurel1a led at Clark street by about two
minutes. Returning again to center, Dr.
McLaren made up some of the lost
ground by couple of skillful tacks The
position Of the boats when the accident
occurred was relatively the same as when
the clark street buoy was turned. Both
boats withdrew from the race. The Au-
relia fouled the Akela near center, and
even III the race had have been COM
pleted by both boats it would have not
been counted victory, as the foul dis
qualified the Aurelia.
The prettiest sail of the afternoon, and
one of the prettiest ever sailed on the
lake, was between the Cavite and Kee-
wayden. The latter boat was formerly
owned by DR.. Welsh, and was regarded
as the champion of her class The Ca
vite was built for Cept. Douglas this
year by Johnny Johnson, and her rec
ord yesterday. on the face of 1t, gives
her owner a great deal of pardonable
pride.
The story of the race is a brief one.
The Cavite clearly outdistanced the Kee-
Wayden on every tack, in addition to
breaking her tiller, which handicapped
her several minutes. However, yester-
days race does not by long ways set
tie the dispute of superiority between
the twenty-footers, and after Capt. Mer-
rill gets better acquainted with his boat
he is confident that he can give the Ca
vfte better race than is shown on the
face of the returns yesterday The sum
mary of the twenty-footers is:
co,,,+o Start, Finish. Time.
Keewayden :. ...3:40:40 5:16:43 1860
The Cavities winning time margin was
five minutes and twenty-one seconds.
There is some talk of sailing the Ca
vtte against the twenty-three-foote
She is of a little different pattern than
any other of the boats now sailing on
White Bear. Her water line is only six
teen feet, and she is decidedly of the
scow type, and not only a speedy, but a
seaworthy craft.

the foulest conversation and indie
cencies. The british and bestial ev-
licences that arose from the darkness
of the basement indicated that the
room was filled with harpies rather.
than human beings.
After breakfast the girls were re-
moved to the third floor of dormitory
No. 2. This had been ruined by the
girls the night before, but the beds
had been rearranged in such shape
that they could sleep if they desired.
They were locked onto the third floor
and guards stationed at the doors. The
windows were too high to permit them
to jump. The girls had stolen the pen
ellis in the offices of the building and
they began to deliberately decorate the
walls. Their own names were varied
with the vilest obscenities, both in
words and pictures, and this was the
prevailing tone of their entire conver-
sation with each other and the remarks
they addressed to the guards.
Superintendent Miller was quoted as
saying that some of them had had liq-
quor to drink. 1t is fact that this evil
is one which the management of the
institution finds to be among the most
difficult to cope with, the furnishing
of liquor to the girls by young scoun-
drels, who entice the girls away from
the institution.
The fact is that the school is mark
for the lecherous brutes who 60 about
the country with apparently respecta-
BILE locations, but who are recruiting
for houses of prostitution. Three girls
were caught at Des Moines yesterday
morning at o'clock. They were in
quiring their way to Whitechapel. The
girls who escape from the istitution
Invariably make for disreputable
places whose addresses have been fur
nished from outside. The identity OF
the scoundrels who furnished the girls
liquor Sunday night will be discovered
by the authorities, and they will be
made examples of.
There are those who confidently as
sert that if few of their vicious
heads had been cracked to begin with
the riot would have been nipped in the
bud. Others call attention to the fact
that hysterical people would protes,
against using violence against wo-
man under any circumstances. So the
authorities believe that the corporal
punishment was best omitted after all
and the riot allowed to wear itself out
with. the arrest of the ringleaders
But SO far as expressions were heard
in the city respecting the matter the
only criticism offered was that nc
adequate punishment was inflicted. II
| it had been riot of men few broken
heads would have ended the trouble
With the girls they ran the institu-
ton.

MARTIN AND RIXEY
FAVOR 4 STRONG NAVY
Letter Published by a Virginia
Journal.
Best Guarantee Of Peace and Surest
Defence in Time Of War.
Aptitude of the American People for
Military Service In Cases of
Emergency.

Fredericksburg, Va, Jan. 31.-The Free
Lance newspaper, of this city, which is ad-
vocating big navy, today publishes let
ter from United States Senator Thomas :.
Martin and one from Congressman John +.
Rixey. The letters are written in answer
to questions as to whether they favor ell
larging the navy, and great importance
attaches to them because of the positions
occupied by Senator Martin and Congress
the Senate Committee ON Naval Affairs
and the latter a member of the Naval Com
mittee of the House.
Senator Martin says: 'Our past experience
has shown that the aptitude of the Ameri
can people for military service is such that
in an emergency an army can be organized
and made effective very quickly, but this
is not true of the navy. Several years are
required for the construction of a battle
ship, and only trained and experienced
men can handle and fight them successful
ly. l consider a strong navy the best guar
antee Of peace and the surest defence III
time of war;
Congressman Rixey writes: Il am in ia
yor of making liberal provision for our
navy, as the surest and best guarantee for
our protection against foreign aggression.
This is equally true whether we confine our
boundaries TO their natural limits and
abandon the imperial idea of foreign con-
quest and colonization, as | think should
be done, or adopt the opposite course. A
strong navy does not indicate that there
is necessity for a large standing army.
On the contrary, il will minimize such ne
cessity to providing such regular army as
may be necessary to insure protection ard
peace within our borders"
