crack on sail for all the Shamrock can

more headsail and the Columbia more on

The Columbia and defender.

| Commodore Summers in Golfers Weekly
The prettiest and most exciting point OF
the trial was when the big sloops came to-
gether, with sheets fiat aft on the star
board tack right abreast of jamestown.
Skipper Charlie Barr was at the wheel
and the Columbia held the weather position
by about 200 yards. Rolling his
wheel hard up Barr brought the Column
ba straight down for the weather quarter
of the Defender. Down went the helm in
less than a minute and The new sloop shot
almost alongside her sister ship. Then TAX
ing a position with her bowsprit Just lap
ping the Defenders weather quarter the
race gan.
Foot by foot the Columbia gained on her
rival, until in seven minutes she had pass
ed out clear ahead by nearly a length
That was the test that all had been wait
ing for and il was one of great value to
the Columbia's designer 1t proved o him
in few moments that his work had not
been In vain; that the Columbia was a
better boat than his former creation-De-
fender.
When the Columbia was launched. on the
evening of June ID, there were many pre-
dictions as to when her first trial spin
would take place. Some said a week, 9th
ers placed The limit a len days. Nat Herr
eshon, her designer promised nothing, bur
put all his men at work TO spar and rig the
yacht.
G. Oliver Iselin, her managing owner, was
impatient. He wanted The yacht a week af-
ter her launch. she shah NOT leave here
until she's ready" Herreshoff said 10 a
friend, and he kept his word.
The Columbia made her debut-so to
speak-in a most expansive suit of tight
fitting sails, on the morning of the fif-
teenth day after her launching, and when
she made her first tack. At 9:20 that morn
ing the critics agreed hat she was in bet
ter trai-trip form than any of her prede-
cessors.
No better fitting mainsan has ever been
set, for the first time, on any Of the big
sloops. The fore-staysail set badly at first.
but the looseness Of the leach near the
head was remedied during the trip by tau
tening it up. The working gaff topsail-the
cloths of which run diagonany, like a jib-
seemed trife TOO large, but that can be
easily remedied.
Perhaps the man most pleased with the
Columbia was her principal owner, Com
modore j. Pierpont Morgan, who followed
the defenders at a respectful distance in

A pleasing and fitting finale to the Col
umba's successful trip was the tribute
paid her by the Jackies'' on the battle |

Reports from southampton say that the

gaff. Both are sand to be of great length

full. When the yacht left London she had

the Southampton reports are COMPOUNDED

If Fife has decided 10 try the Shamrock

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.


Miss Harriet FairaH Bartlett Becomes the
Bride of Mr.. James Lazear Pollock.
st. Matthew's Protestant Episcopal
Church in Oakland was the scene last
night of a beautiful wedding when
Miss Harriet Fairall, daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. Edward H. Bartlett, of

James Lazear Pollock, of Philadel-
phia.
The little chapel was decorated for
the occasion with potted palms, fern
and evergreen and an abundance of
white and yellow chrysanthemums
were distributed within the chancel
and upon the altar. The edifice was
filled to overlooking with friends and
relatives of the bride and groom and
at the hour appointed for the cere-
mony to take place many could not
gain admission to the building, so
great was the crush.
The bride, attired in a handsome
dress of steel gray broadcloth,
trimmed in white silk and lace and
with diamond ornaments, and carry
ing large bouquet of lilies of the
valley, accompanied by her father,
was preceded to the altar by the
ushers, Messrs. Edward, Richard and
Harper Bartlett, brothers of the
bride, and Ed and Ellwod Offutt and
William Weber. The groom, accom-
panied by his best man, Mr.. Eugene
Barber, of Philadelphia, who had
entered the church by the vestry, re-
ceived his bride at the chancel rail
where the ceremony was performed
by the rector, Rev. William H. Os-
mond. The ring service was used.
After the ceremony a reception was
rendered large number of the
friends of the bride at her home on
Alder street. At midnight they de-
parted for their future home in Phila-
delphia.
Mrs. Pollock was the recipient of
numerous costly and handsome pres
ents, among which was q cluster of
diamonds, the gift of the groom.
The ushers were attired in full
dress and white kid gloves as was al
so the groom and his best man. The
music was played by DR.. Robinson.
The newly welded pair have the
best wishes of numberless friends in
Oakland for their future welfare and
prosperity.

Fish for MARYLAND,

The state fish commissioner for the
Western Shore of Maryland, A. F.
George, has placed an order for 6O0,-
600 eye spawn of brook trout with a
Pennsylvania firm. These eye spawn
are to be placed in the streams of
Western Maryland, as there are no
trout streams on the Eastern Shore.
The spawn will be placed in the
hatchery at Druid Hill Park, and Mr..
George thinks he will get nearly $780,
900 trout ready to place in streams by
the latter part of April. The fish
will be six to eight inches long in two
years.
With careful and well directed
work, he is of the opinion that the
Patuxent, Gunpowder, lower Poto-
mac, Conococheague and many other
bass streams could be made fine fish
ing grounds.
