MANY wALKovER PRIZES.
AMERICAN YACHT CLUB REGATTA PRODUCES
ov,v THREE GENUINE CONTESTS.

A fleet of yachts. for the most part separately
classed met yesterday at the courses OF the Ameri-
can Yacht Club, near Milton Point. There were
only three contests out OF nine classes, all the rest
being sailovers. The first three boats that sailed
for walkover prizes in their respective classes
were the Kestrel. the Sultan and the Acushia l..
rben came a contest between the Qui Vive and the
Win or Lose In which the latter boat proved WIN
ner on time allowance. The Florence A. n. Arthur
took a sailover in the twenty-foot catboat class
and the Vera beat the Ok In the class below. The
Kazaza had an easy thing with the Captain, and
the The.ga and the Esperanza sailed alone.
|: would be difficult to grow enthusiastic over
these six walkovers but that was no fault OF the
American Yacht Club, whose arrangements were
perfect
The course sailed was east northeast one and
three-quarter miles. then In beat south three and
seven eighth miles. then northwest three and

Judging Machines.

For registering the results of a foot
race the human eye and voice seem
sometimes painfully inadequate. Close
contests of this kind will doubtless
end more pleasantly when the new
Judging machine" described by the
Golden Penny, comes into general Use.
The machine, which was invented by
an Australian, is designed to be placed
at the finish line, and consists of a
light metal frame partitioned into two
or more divisions each about four feet
wide. On the top of the frame stands
small cabinet containing numbered
divisions corresponding to the num-
bers of the tracks. The instant the
first man passes through his division
a shutter falls, disclosing his track
number. The other numbers are i'm
mediately locked, except when the ma
chine is set for final heats. In this
case a small cylinder is attached to
the machine, and a hammer mead
strikes a mark on the revolving cyl1n-
der as the men finish. Thus the exact
positions of all the competitors can be
told to a nicely. The same inventor
has originated an automatic judging
machine for bicycle races. 1t consists
of fine, light metal strips placel in
small trench about two inches wide,
which is sunk across the track at the
finish. During the last lap these strips,
which are coated with enamel, are
placed in position by means of a lever,
and the first wheel to cross receives
five marks. In crossing, however, 1t
displaces one of the strips, and the
next wheel, therefore, only receives
four marks, the third three, and so on.

"That would be impossible" she
quietly returned, and then she gave
him her hand in parting. He avoided
her eyes, the hurt look in them was
more than he could bear, but he took
the little trembling hand in his, and
stopped to kiss her. "Good-by, dear,
take good care Of yourself. Give me
one more kiss and / am gone. Re-
member, it's only two weeks"
Two weeks later the train Is steam
ing into the city as fast as the big iron
horse can carry 1t, but 1t cannot go too
fast for the impatient Mr.. Powers. The
two weeks are over, the business trip
is at an end and Is successful, and now
he wants to see Margaret, his love. his
darling. He has thought Of her day
and night, he has bought her extrava-
CANT presents, he has done everything
to please her except write to her, and
he can hardly wait for his meeting
with her. He gets his overcoat on, his
grip in hand, he scorns the assistance
of the porter, and before the train has
fairly ceased its motion he Steps down
to the platform of the station. He
sends a telegram to Margaret announc-
ing his arrival, and then takes a cab
to his hotel, giving the cabman an ex-
ira to hurry, so anxious he Is to make
the necessary changes in his toilet and
get to his fiancee. He fairly runs up
the stairs to his room, and finds note
under the door. From her? No, from
her brother.
my Dear Fellow: We are so sorry
we haven't your address and cannot
send for you. Margaret, OF course,
must know where you are, but for
some reason she declines to tell us.
Probably it is to spare you the pain
of parting-for Margaret is dying. She
took cold the day you left and the ILL
ness rapidly developed into pneumo-
mia. The doctor gave us almost no
hope from the beginning, and tonight
says we must expect the worst. HE
thinks she will hold out a couple OF
days longer, and we are all hoping
that some chance will bring you home
before she goes. l send this to your
hotel that it may reach you the instant
you arrive. Come to us at once If you
would see Margaret alive. Very truly
yours, JACK LELAND.

speech in favor Of the union of Wal
lachia and Moldavia. Mr.. Disraeli,
speaking in opposition, pointed out
that the result would be the extinction
of the independence of these people,
and the only thing left would be the
remorse, (which would be painted with
admirable eloquence by the rhetorician
of the day." In reply, Mr.. Gladstone
said that he would not be guilty of
the affected modesty of pretending to
be ignorant that that designation, 1.-THE
rhetorician of the day." was intended
for himself. Mr.. Disraeli interrupted
with the remark: 81 beg your pardon;
1 really did not mean that" Disraeli
sat down with a satisfied smile that
told of his enjoyment. Mr.. Gladstone's
face expressed amazement and indig-
nation. His opponent had placed him
in the notifying position Of applying
a remark to himself which had no such
personal reference. Therefore, Glad
stones wrath and Disraeli's smile.
The liberal leader proceeded with his
speech and condemned the "sesquipe-
dalian words and inflated language" of
the leader of the conservatives.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

There has been no relaxation of the
demand for fractional silver, and the
situation, according to treasury Off
Gals, is likely to get worse rather
than better. All the uncurrent and de-
faced coins have now been coined up,
and the treasury is at the end of its
resources. When Secretary Gage took
hold in March, 1897, he had $16,OOO,-
900 in subsidiary coin. That sum has
steadily declined, until now there is
less than 100000 in the possession
of the treasury, and this is scattered
over the country. The demand for
small coins continues from all sec-
lions. and there has been found no au-
thority of law to purchase bullion to
supply the demand. The secretary last
year suggested to congress that he be
given authority to use the seigniorage
for subsidiary coinage, but the only
response was to direct the coinage of
all this seigniorage into silver dollars.
There will be scarcity of small
change until congress acts.

A POSER FOR MARksMRN.
Tho Eccentric Flight of tie woodcoc

Tho Eccentric Flight of the WoodcocIr
Makes Him Almost Impossible to Hit.
The peculiar habit of the woodcock
and his corkscrew flight make him
probably the most difficult Of winged
marks. In the daytime he remains al
ways in thickets, copses or cane-brakes.
He must have ground upon which to
sleep and and in winch to do his occa-
sional daylight boring, and moist
ground generally means always dense
underground. Indeed, some OF tho
places most favored by the woodcock
are so thickly overgrown that rabbit
finds difficulty in getting through. In
such places the hunter. send in his
cocker spaniel, If he has one, knowing
that the dog will flush the bird with
his shrill constant barking, and trust
ing to luck to get a shot as the wood
cock clears the tops Of the trees or
canes. Generally, however, man and
a pointer may work their way through
almost anything that grows in shape
of woods and entangling vines, and 1t
must be admitted that the difficulties
of 1t lend to the sport peculiar fas-
cination that does not pertain to any
other form of American shooting. 1t
is characteristic of the woodcock that
he will not fly far horizontally when
disturbed. He does not see well, even
in the shadow Of the oaks and cy-
presses, and he fears that II he lets
himself out in straight line he Will
run into something. At night he sees
as well as an owl. His fight, conse-
quently, when he rises before the
heavy tread Of the pointers owner, or
before the yelp of the spaniel, is con-
fined to spiral shoot straight upward
and a drop to earth almost as perpen-
dicular. If not struck he will hit the
ground probably not more than fifteen
yeards from where he left it. In cane
or other kinds of swamp he might as
well be hundred yards away, so far
as any chance of shooting him is con-
cerned. The fight is nothing like SO
fast as the buzzing dart of the quail
or the wide-swinging zigzag of the
jacksnipe, but it is highly eccentric.

ONLY TWO WEEKS.

Herman Powers hurried along tho
street, his thoughts travelling even
faster than he was doing. He was en-
gagged to Margaret Leland and had
been for over year. Ho was much In
love with her, and he considered him
self lucky man to have won her con-
sent to marry him. She loved him, too,
and, as is often the case with good,
pure woman, this love amounted to al
most worship.
Herman had enjoyed this devotion
on her part exceedingly, as what man
would not in like circumstances? But
lately he had sometimes thought she
was too demonstrative in her affec-
lions, little too sentimental, in fact,
and that in her great enjoyment of his
company, perhaps she was a little
selfish and took good deal Of his time
away from his profession. Before he
met her this law business had been lis
the first glamour of his engagement
was over, he did not exactly return to
his first love, but was willing to divide
his attention, and strange 1t would
be, indeed, If his fiancee did not suffer
in the dividing process.
Just now he was about to take
short trip out of the state, and he was
on his way to bid Margaret good-by.
He had decided it would be all non
sense to have scene over this first
parting and as for love letters, they
would be entirely out Of the question.
ut would be Margaret's way to make
great fuss over our separation" he
said to himself as he ran up the steps
of the Lelands' home and rang the
bell, "but shall be taking trips often,
ard there is no need of being fool
ish. We must begin as we can hold
out"
He is relieved as he enters the draw
ing-room that there are guests present,
and he is not likely to see his sweet
heart alone, and with it all is vague
sense of appointment, too. He
talks with her, with her mother and
brother, and with the friends they are
entertaining; he exerts himself to be
agreeable and to keep the conversation
on general topics, and when at the end
of an hour he rises to go and care
lessly announces his departure from
the city on the morrow, he is convinced
that he has avoided the thing he
dreaded, and in a diplomatic kind Of
way, too Margaret had perhaps
grown a little white when he spoke of
