ANOTHER FINE ROUTE IN WESTMINSTER

TIVE RIDING VASTLY IMPROVED SINCE THE
RAIN-cLuB RUNS To-DAY-NoTEs
AND COMMENTS
The cycle route printed in The Tribune to-day
differs materially from most OF those which have
been printed heretofore. Many wheelmen OCCASION
ally like to get away from the beaten path, and
they are satisfied with encountering a few rough
roads providing their tour takes them through
country Astounding in picturesque scenery In the
amended route there will be found some macadam-
tied roads but more earth roads. The recent rains
have done much TO improve the country roads, and
those who decide to follow the route printed to-day
ought to find the conditions vastly improved

The pictures here given which show the handling
OF the Shamrocks mainsail, are the first reprodue-
lions Of photographs showing parts OF the Sham

lea The London Times" has published some
measurements OF the Shamrock. which were re-
printed In The Tribune last Friday. The Times
published these as known facts and without reser-
walton clauses and they are believed here to have
come from Sir Thomas Upton himself. II correct
these measurements of first importance TO
yachtsmen this side.
Among these Is the statement that the Shamrock.
from the end OF her bowsprit TO the end OF her
mainboom Is 100 feet long. This base line for
measurement is therefore three feet greater than
that OF the Columbia On Sunday. May 2. The
Tribune published experts calculation showing
the way this base line the Columbia was arrived
at. and 1t then shown that with mainboom
OF 100 feet inches and the fore-triangle added. as
calculated. the base line for measurement on the

Alters the Portrait Annually,

There is peculiar portrait in Wash
ington which has created much in.
terest among those who know of its
existence. Its popularity is that every
year it has been changed to show the
changes which time would have made
in the original. The portrait is by a
Washington artist, and is that of his
wife, and was painted many years ago,
when she was young bride. A few
years after the portrait was painted
the young wife died, and so great was
the grief of the artist that he deter.
mined to keep her likeness with him
all the time, and to do so he decided
hat year by year he would change
me portrait so as to make it grow old
With him and thus keep her, as it
we're, ever with him. Every year, on
the anniversary of his wedding day,
the artist locked himself in his studio
and changed the lines of the face of
the portrait, adding what he thought
would make the difference of one year.
There have been many anniversaries
Of that marriage day, and consequently
many changes in the portrait. To-day
the picture is that of an old woman.
.he hair turned gray, the face wrinkled
and pale, but still beneath the marks
of time. as made by the brush of the
artist, can be seen the early beauty of
the bride and the attractiveness of the
young woman.-New York Mail and
Express.
