for this season alone cannot be much less
than 81 200, ,00o
The thirty-nine sailors on the Columbia
will receive S35 month so that for
season OF five months their wages alone
will absorb $6625. Their food will bring
this sum to at least $4,000, and to this
total for wages and food must be added
the skipper's salary Of $4,000.
These items, although they amount to
nearly $4,000, only represent a part of the
seasons expenses. At least once a week
the yacht will have to be taken out of the
water to have her bottom polished. The
manganese bronze of which her hull is
built accumulates seaweed rapidly and
this and all other accretions must be
cleared away at short intervals If her
speed is not to suffer.
To say that the Columbia will cost her
owner $4,000 for the seasons racing is
probably an underestimate, while the cost
of racing the Shamrock will be greater.
If the Shamrock is successful in taking
back the cup to England the trophy will
cost her generous owner no less than
$325 900 in addition to all other normal ex-
penditure, for this is the sum which will
be required TO pay every member Of the
winning crew the promised 50 week for
life.

periods varying from ten to thirty years,
during which time they have carefully
noted the various postal and political
changes, proves its permanent interest
and value to them as a study. The accu-
mutation of collection has kept them in
touch with current events, while their ap-
probation of art has been fostered, and
the pleasure of collecting has been one Of
'their chief enjoyments. Every stamp or
series of stamps is associated in their
minds with some important group Of
events, and thus they speak to them from
the pages of their albums.
Cultured people are naturally collectors
mot in the sense of mere gatherers Of
, objects for their intrinsic value, but
rather OF articles which appeal to their
sense Of the beautiful, as pictures or stat
uary; or those which appeal to their in
telligence, as books. Postage stamps in
a moderate way appeal to both the intel
l1gence and the Imagination. The num-
Der Of persons who devote time and
thought to their accumulation and study
is already very large and constantly In
creastng. In every large city and in
many small towns there are persons who
have no other business than buying and
selling stamps.
During the season from ten to thirty
auction sales are held in New York, vary
\ ing In net proceeds from a thousand to
uNe thousand OOllarS. Ihefr value as
commodities is as we'll fixed and vary as
, little from year to year as books, pic
lures or coins. While the element of
speculation and imitation sometimes ap-
pears, the event is never attended with a
complete slump in prices Better class
stamps must always maintain their value
Tor the very reason that through fire
water OF other disintegrating influences
their number continually grows less, while
the army of collectors who wish to pos
sess them is ever increasing
I San Francisco has a society, known as
of a considerable number of enthusiastic
Dphilatelists, and it has held regular
monthly meetings for the past fifteen
years. It maintains a clubroom, where
its members meet, and library of sew
eral hundred volumes of books and peri
odicals devoted exclusively to their pur-
suit may be found
To them stamp collecting is not an idle
craze, but serious study, which demands
from them their best thought At its
meetings papers are frequently read
which could not fail to interest any one
who gives a thought to current events.
New Issues are shown and discussed. new
facts about old issues may be brought up
and everything pertaining to the postal
service is legitimate matter for notice
Not alone the changes Of the workings
of the Postoff1ce Department in the new
possessions of the United States-Porto
Rico, the Philippine Islands, Guam and
the protectorate over Cuba-but the con-
stant changes in the continents of the old
and the new world, and the islands of the
sea, furnish abundant material for their
efforts.

THE ENORMOUS COST OF YACHTING.
tEEw branches of sport yield less in

lEEW branches Of sport yield less in
\ ~ comparison with the sums lavtshed
on them than yachting. which OF ne
)cessity is a monopoly Of men with we'll
lined purses. The initial cost Of yacht
may range from $500 to $4,000 and tho
1annual outlay from $500 to $4,000.
The man who buys '50-ton yacht for
)pleasure purposes alone, and without any
, of the added cost of racing, must expect
her to cost him s25oO year. For 1OO-ton
Ayacht he will have to disburse from $500
to $4,000 g year, without counting depre-
)ciation or the interest on the $4,000 or
Sic, 900 he has sunk in her purchase.
When a man aspires to the luxury OF
}steam yacht OF hundreds of tons he ought
to have the deep purse of millionaire.
for he may well spend on his hobby the
annual income Of a Cabinet Minister of
THE first rank; while the interest alone on
, the money his floating palace represents
would pay the annual stipend of bishop
/, These estimates. based on the evidence
of an expert. are for pleasure yachts
)onIy, es distinguished from racing yachts;
for the owner of a racer must expect to
add materially both to original outlay
and yearly expenditure.
It is estimated that the cost of building
and racing the Shamrock and Columbia

Meteor or the Rainbow for a single sea-
son cannot cost less than sis 900. apart
from accidents and depreciation. while If
we consider the short racing life of one
of these "greyhounds" and distribute her
original cost over the few years of her
life the annual price paid for the brief
luxury of owning her must be increased
by many thousands year.
Certainly 1t is safe to say that no man
should think Of owning a racing yacht of
this class who is not prepared to spend
SOS 600 to $4,000 year for the indulgence.
Even the gift of a $500 prize is largely
removed by the extra expenses Of racing
and winning. 1t is usual for the owner of
a winning yacht to pay her crew S. each,
in addition to their wages. On a boat like
the Britannia this liberality would entail
an extra cost Of nearly 5000 for the day
To this item in the balance sheet must be
added $50 gratuity for the skipper and a
smaller fee for the pilot, together with
another $25 for the provisions and bever-
ages. Thus, against the prize of $500 must
be set an additional charge for the day
of about $500.
If the yacht, instead of winning. loses,
a sum of about half this amount mus be
spent on the race and added to the normal
cost of maintenance.

THE prince of stamp collectors, says
the London Mail is undoubtedly a
Monsieur Ferrari of Paris. Virtually
priceless are the stamp collections
of this gentleman, and his devotion
to the hobby may be gauged
from the fact that he keeps
three secretaries especially to look
after the precious bits of colored paper,
which are arranged and catalogued in lux
urious Libraries.
NJ Ferrari possesses no fewer than eight
specimens OF the famous Postofnce Maue
which only fourteen copies are known to
exist. The actual value of this stamp
which has been knoWn 70 fetch ct fo privately

hands at S130. A Cingalese four penny rose,

$3.50 not long ago, while a sheet of twelve
West Indian six penny stamps went for

Five hundred dollars apiece has been

face value-arises from the fact that it
bears the words "postofice" instead Of
the regulation post paid" It was issued
in 1S47 and is so very highly priced that
not long ago a wildly enthusiastic collec-
tor advertised that he was willing to cor
respond, with a view to matrimony, with
a lady possessing copy of 'Postottice

The two-penny blue post PAID Mauri-

at an auction a copy Of it actually realized
S00-the highest price ever paid for

specimen was unused, but even a Cancelled

the record for big prices. For example,
