| UuunO, paw Stu. Last ME Whcu
| nav was putin sum headed repairs
| on the After Deck of little albert's every
| Day pants, whether it's me Gittin more
| Sensible as / gro older or if the other
Folks in this country keep a slippin
Back all the Time, But emmy way it
Seems like if thay was Good Deel more
| foolishnus Coin on Every year. Here's
this yot race. You'd think Evrybudy in
Younited Stats was sailer and Had
Half intrust in the Botes BY the way
thay are Coin on. l never seen so
| mulch fool Bizness before. Who cares
! fer the Blamed old cup er what Bote
wins it? Who"
what cup is that?" nav asst.
1.-THE Amuriky cup" paw says.
That's what they're agoin to Race
fer"
Il shouldn't Think they'd so to so
much trubble jist about a cup" nav
says, But then l spose it's Hand
| painted
Hand painted nawthin," paw says.
"Gee I'd hate to Haft 10 Show my ig-
nerancy every time l opened my mouth
| the way you do. 1t amt no cup to use
on the Table. It's silver or mebby
gold plated and mite of cast fifty dol
lers when it was new. But it's purity
old now. You see This Sur Commus
| that wants to win it is in the Tea Biz
ness. l guess He'd like to use it fer adj
vertizin. If he got it l s'pose he'd fill
ii up with Tea and put it in the Frunt
windo of His store. l Don't Blame
him so mulch fer wantin it, But it's
the people that's Talkin about the
Race that makes me sick. Thay all
purtend to no SIGH a Blame Lot about
yotten.
II Col it makes me Laff to Hear the
Land lubbers argy about the Botes.
One Teller says the Shamrock can't win
becoz her keel amt the rite Shaip, and
| Then Sumbuddy else comes along and
| purtends He's afrade the Columby
intent come up to Expecktashens Be-
coz her Boom don't SCOT him. What Do
| thay no about SIGH things? I'd Bet
! most of Them never seen solt water"
Did you ever see the oshen?" Little
| Albert asst.
"Corse l have" paw says. II come
| purity near crossin it wunst. When l
was at New York l rode Down to Coney
lien on Bote, and Thay amt mulch L
Don't no about yawts nuther. It's
graft Sport all rite. | tell you it puts
new life in purson to Git out on the
water and man the Sales. You no That
time l was up the Lakes visaten Uncle
Jim. Don't you maw?'
| Yes" nav anserd.
"Well Him and anuther man had o
got and fer week l jist Lived on the
water. Thay amt mulch about a yot
that Don't no. Thay told me I'd make
a fine sailer. You see that's what makes
these people that GIFTS to Talkin to me
about the Columby and Shamrock seem
to Blame Ridiculous. Why, these here
| agriculturists what think the Sham
| rock stands emmy show to Win Gives
Themselves Ded away rite at the start"
That's the forren bote amt it?"
nav asst.
Don't call it a Bote," paw says.
"Never call a yot Bote when thay are
people around That no about SIGH things
if you Don't want to git Taft at. Yes,
the Columby's our craft, and it won't
take her long to show her heels to
them people from the oil her side nuther.
| Been studdyin the Fine points about
Them, and it's twenty to one Shot fer
our Side. Look at the Columby's top
| gallant Sail. That's a goin to give
give Her a Big Advantage, and her
after Boom's Daisy too. l Don't like
her keel gait as well as / mite, But that
Don't Cut mulch figger emmy way. It's
her Spinnaker that's a goin to Set them
Crazy. You jist wait and See. i wisht
l Had Thousand bet on her rite now.
The mint She gifts where she can put
up her Spinnaker the other people won't
no what's BEGUN of her. If she Diden't
| have anuther foot of canvass on her
| Deck except the Spinnaker it'd Be
proshen all the way around. That's
WHARF Amuriky has the advantage.
They can't make spinnakers over in
England like ours"
| "Why?" NAV asst.
climut," paw says.
well, what is a spinnaker?" nav
asst
II thot you'd haft to asst that or
| bust" paw says. You always think
you're agoin to Be SO blame smart and
| Ketch me Between the bases, But when
it comes to yots l want you to under
| stand | no all about Them from the
| Bulkhed to the port blge. The spin
makers the main tarpaulin on the star
| board side"
Before emmy of us recovered paw had
went out to take a walk around the
