The Races for the Americas Cup.

The Races for the americas Cup.
New York, Oct. 2.-Tomorrow the
first of the international yacht races for
the Americas cup will be sailed eli
Sandy Hook. The Shamrock and the
Columbia have been thoroughly
groomed for the contests. Both have
oeen stripped of all furnishings and only
sails, spars, and the men necessary to
sail the yachts will be carried. After
being measured today the racers will
be taken down and anchored of Temp
kinsville. There they will remain until
tomorrow morning, when they will
start for Sandy Hook lightship.
The betting on the races was a little
more active today. Columbia is the
favorite at 5 to 4.
1t is rumored that Herreshof, the
designer of the yacht, may sail the
Columbia in the Cup races. He sailed
The Vigilant and Defender part of the
time during their contests with the
two Valkyries. 1t is said that Captain
Barr is not getting all tho. can be got
out of the Colum bia when he sails her,
and, furthermore, some have urged the
idea OF having full-hedged American
sail the boat. Barr was born Scotch
mrn, but a few years ago became II
naturalized American citizen.

although Skaters was O new army, it
was by no means an arnv Of strangers.
1t was about noon when the line Of
the cavalry division was actually formed
for attack on the ridge in its front, the
ground having been reconnoitered and
points for attack shown to leaders of
regiments and squadrons. As usual in
such cases, the exact time was not noted
down, and perhaps the term noon may
be used to cover the time between l2
and / O'Clock. An officer of the First
cavalry said it took three hours to pass
down the road from Ell Poso to "Hell's
Crossing. and that the march began at
$3.50. About ~ hours seem to have
been passed in the bed of the creek by
some of the cavalry, perhaps by all.
1t should be remembered that this
was midday, and a tropical midday at
that. The soldiers, when inactive, could
barely keep their feet. They were in
valley without breath Of air. They
were wet, some to the knees and some
to the waist, from wading in the
streams. For more than an hour they
had seen the dead and wounded brought
into the angle, victims of the Spanish
marksmen in front Of them on the crest
Of the ridge. 1t was this time, if at all,
that the general impulse to charge the
hill swept down the line. Regiments,
battalions and companies had been
formed to attack. Full directions had
been given with tho exception of the
word "go." 1t is said that just then a
volunteer field officer. who all the morn
ing had been rather heard than seen
outside of his own regiment, called out
with theatrical wave of the hand:
"This hill must be taken! II there are
three men here who will go with me,
we will take itp' Already parts of the
line were in motion, and shortly the
entire column surged forward, carrying
the excited volunteer along with it, or
perhaps swallowing him up, for he was
not seen by the regulars again until
they had planted their standards ON the
first hill.
Distractions were encountered every
few rods. Al the outset there were two

CUR STORED UP POWER.
AIr. Staybolt Considers Man Built Upon
y Commandment Plan.

Compartment Plan.
"Man is. as one might say" said Mr..
Staybolt, "built in series of compart-
ments, though he may not know this
fact at the outset, and he may indeed
60 through life and die without know
Ing it, taking with him unused stocks
Of ability and strength that he had
never known he possessed, simply be-
cause they were never brought into
play. AS to what will bring their quail
lties into play men differ. There are
some few men who command them
selves, and some who open at a touch,
and then there are many who respond
only to the most urgent call. But there
are few men who cannot in some way
be moved to action.
"This brings me, for illustration, to
brief consideration Of the personal
quality commonly denominated as sand,
Of which, I imagine, most of us possess
Tar more than we suspect, for there are
few men who finally run away-mighty
few who will not stand up and fight
when they feel that tho are really call
ed upon. But our sand is in compart-
ments, and most of us, fancy, open
only one and make that last through
life, and we die without knowing how
brave we are unless some great occa-
sion, independent of ourselves, opens
another compartment and shows US
what we really have in reserve. / might
add that there are few if any revela-
tions that come to us in life that give
us greater pleasure or more enlarge our
horizon.
'The moral Of all this is that in our
good qualities we should trust ourselves
without hesitation. There are qualities,
which will easily suggest themselves,
which it would be better to leave un.
used, better for ourselves and for every.
body else il the compartments contain
ing them were never opened, but as to
such qualities as pluck, endurance, en-
ergy, capacity and moral strength we
should call upon ourselves freely. We
should not take down with us, as other
wise we are almost certain to do, stores
OF these valuable qualities untouched,
but rather we should draw upon them
now and constantly and confidently, and
so doing we shall be gratified with our
constant growth in strength and more
than gratified with the attending sub
stantial rewards. New York Sun.
