THE FIRST RACE
Columbia Shows Shamrock a
Good Clean Pair of
Heels,
Crossing the Finish Line More
Than Ten Minutes in the
Lead.
Did It All in Windward Work
and Surprised Even Her
Friends.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE result of
the first finish fight between Columbia
and Shamrock for the Americas cup
and the yachting supremacy of the
world is complete victory for the
American boat, the American skipper
and the American crew. Captain Barr
sailed his boat across the finish line a
good winner.
The Columbia did it all in windward
work. She surprised even those who
knew her best. It was not hard thrash
to the outer mark, but good beat in
topsail breeze, with something of sea
on. At no time after Columbia began
to pull away to windward, 10 minutes
after the starting gun was fred, was
the first race of the series in doubt.
The defender rounded the outer mark
8 minutes and AZ seconds, official time,
ahead of the challenger.
Columbia crossed the finish line at
3:54:4y: Shamrock, 4:05:10. Corrected
elapsed time, Columbia, 4:5a:5s; Sham
rock, 5:04:01.

STORY OF NOSES.

Why Renowned Generals Had q Na.
sal Organ Of Roman Type.
The features are developed by the
mind. A child that is reared amid
pleasant surroundings and whose mind
Is filed with pleasant thoughts, will
have pleasing face. The shape Of
the nose and chin will depend entirely
upon the strength and character Of the
mental faculties.
At 10 boys nose may be small and
turned up at the end, at Ii it may have
grown larger and be straight and at %
it may be pronounced Roman. It all de-
ponds upon his mind.
The Romans had big noses with high
bridges because they were steady
and determined race Of people. Sturdi-
ness and determination will give man
Roman nose, no matter how little or
how snubby his proboscis may have
been when he was born. The Greeks
had straight, delicate, finely chiseled
noses because their tastes are artistic
and poetic. You never saw poet or
an artist with Roman or snub nose,
did you?
On the other hand, it would be hard
to find a great general who had not a
Roman nose. Get pictures of Alexan-
der the Great, Napoleon. wellington,
Washington or Grant and see If they
have not all got big, strong noses Of
the Romanesque type. Yet it is quite
safe to say that If we could have por-
traits of all these personages, taken in
infancy, we would find their olfactory
organs little pudgy affairs, like those
Of the common run Of babies. These
men were not great generals because
they had Roman noses; they had Ro-
man noses because they were great
generals.-San Francisco Bulletin.

HIS OWN PORTRAIT.
How an Artist Paints q Picture o
Himself.

How an Artist Paints a Picture OF
Himself.
It has been a common practice with
artists Of all ages and countries to
paint their own pictures, and at the
Uff1zi gallery in Florence can be seen q
magnificent collection Of portraits of
the worlds great painters done by
themselves. It Is coveted honor to be
invited to contribute ones own portrait
to this collection, for one must be emil
nent before this compliment is paid. AS
may be easily understood, painting
ones own portrait is somewhat trou-
blesome task, for the painter must do
q good deal from memory, especially
If he puts himself in an attitude which
It is difficult to reflect in a mirror. A
straightforward portrait looking out of
the picture is obviously the easiest to
manage, for the painter has only to
place the mirror in front Of him to see
his model.
Triple and quadruple mirrors must
be employed when the attitude is in
any way removed from full face. A
profile would be more difficult to see
for oneself, but q three-quarter face
would be no less so, as In both cases
the artist would be working from q re-
Election Of q reflection, which. to say
the least Of It, is a bothering condition.
The looking at oneself for a long
time is one of the strange and trying
conditions Of painting ones own por-
trait, for difficulties and complexities
appear to grow the more one tries to
grapple with them. Like the road to
the tired traveller, which seems to
lengthen as he goes, SO the difficulties
of painting oneself appear to increase
rather than diminish the more one
looks at oneself.
Apart from painting ones one por-
trait, artists largely draw from them
selves, for a man can more easily as
sumo a particular attitude than get
another person to do so. Then for de-
tails, such as a hand, arm, nose, eye,
the artist and a mirror supply all that
is required. Another Of the many uses
Of mirror is to reverse the work dur
ing its progress, as reversing draw
ing will often reveal an awkwardness,
want of balance or faulty drawing,
which might otherwise go undetected.

LONDON, Oct. 17.-The queens speech
at the opening of parliament declares
that parliament has been summoned at
an unusual date for specific purpose
and that this course has been rendered
necessary by the following circum.
stances:
First, her majesty's proclamation
calling out the reserves is necessarily
followed by the summoning of parlia-
ment within 10 days.
Second, the position of affairs in
South Africa demands the attention Of
the legislature.
Her majesty then declared that her
general relations with foreign powers
are peaceful, state of affairs, which,
unfortunately, does not apply to the
Transvaal.
The house Of commons is invited to
provide ways and means necessary to

that when the proper time arrives, the
Legislative programme of the govern
ment regarding matters of internal in

A Reliable Cowcatcher.

BY this whimsical incident the Chi

KILLED BY A BEAk BLOW.


The Loon II o Dangerous Bird with
Which to Battle.
The loon, or great northern diver, is
q powerful bird. The following In
stance Of one Of them conquering a
man happened few years ago:
A young Micmac Indian, living at
Grand Lake, N. s., wanted to get the
skin Of one Of these beautiful birds to
present to his mistress on her birth
day.
One day the youth, who was an adept
ut initiating the peculiar sobbing cry of
the loon, succeeded in calling a bird
within shooting distance. His shot,
however, failed to kill outright, and
the bird, although SO severely wound
ed that it could neither swim nor dive,
yet retained sufficient life and strength
to remain upright in the water.
The boy, thinking that his game did
not need another shot, swan out to re-
trieve it, but when he approached near
enough to seize the bird 1t suddenly
made dash at him, sending it's head
and neck out with a spring like an ar
row from a bow. 1t was only by a
quick duck of his head that the Indian
succeeded in evading the blow. He
swan about the loon several times, at
tempting to dash in and seize him by
the neck, but the wary bird succeeded
in foiling each effort by continually
facing him and lunging out with his
powerful neck.
The Indian then swan up to within a
few feet Of the bird and, diving under
him with considerable skill, caught
him by the legs. He carried him I'M
der, and, although the bird struggled
fiercely, managed to retain his hold.
But when they both rose to the sur
face again battle royal began, the
Indian seeking to carry his prize
ashore and the bird attempting to re-
gain his freedom. The bird, however,
was too much for his foe and before
the Indian had covered a yard on his
shore bound course disabled him with
a vicious blow from his beak full on
the naked chest.
The effect Of the blow was almost In.
simultaneously fatal, for the beak pene-
trated close to the Indians heart

The Trunk Strap.

''No good" said baggage man,
touching as he spoke rope that was
tied around q trunk standing In a rail-
road baggage room. 1t was stout
rope and securely tied so far as the
knot was concerned, but it did not bind
on the trunk, and it would have been
difficult, IL not impossible. to draw it
close without some mechanical means
to help. AS it stood with the rope
loose about 1t the trunk could have
been easily broken by careless ham
ding as though there had been no rope
around 1t at all.

4 BROKEN MAST
Second Race of Americas Cup
Series Results in Disaster to
Shamrock.
Challenger's Topmast Snapped
When the Race Was Fairly
Started.
Columbia Sailed the Course
Alone, According to Agree
ment.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-What promised
to be splendid days sport in the con-
test for the Americas cup between the
Shamrock and the Columbia brought
Disappointment to the owners of the
big sloops and the public generally.
Within half an hour of the start, which
was good one, Sir Thomas Lipton's
yacht was disabled by the breaking of
her topmast and was obliged to give up
the race, while the Columbia, under
the rules governing contests for the in
ternational trophy, proceeded to sail
over the course alone. At the time of
the accident the cup defender was lead
ing the challenger by several boat
lengths.
The starting gun was fired at IL a. m.
At 11:00:15 the Shamrock crossed the
line, the Columbia following few Sec
onds later.
For about quarter of an hour the
Shamrock held the lead, but made no
gain. Then the defender overhauled
and passed her, and continued to gain
until the catastrophe occurred that put
the Shamrock out of the race.
When the accident occurred that
dashed Sir Thomas Lipton's hopes,
the Shamrock was standing off to
sea on the port tack, 1t being the
longest Of the two boards she had taken
to windward after crossing the starting
line. The wind was blowing about 10
miles an hour from east southeast and
there was considerable lump to the sea.
There was nothing else left for the
Shamrock to do but to turn around and
start for home with few cheers from
the excursion boats telling Of the SYM
pathy. The Columbia left her and
rounded the first mark, 10 miles out at
12:89:1O. and after a long reach, round
ing the second mark and starting for
home at 1:33:45. She came along fast
on reach home, crossing the line at
2:38:50, unofficial time.
She finished almost two hours within
the time limit, demonstrating that the
race would have been a fine one if
there had been q contest between the
two boats.
The next race will be sailed on Thurs

the diminished interest after so many
abortive attempts and partly to disap-

race for the Americas cup, the demon
strations during the evening were
rather tame. Crowds had collected on
the Thames embankment and other
places where the progress of the race
was pictured and cheers were alter
nately raised for Columbia and Sir
Thomas Upton, but disappointment at
the result was very keen. At the Hotel
Cecil, where crowd Of Americans had
collected to await the announcement on
the ticker, cheers resounded.
