The big vessel was sighted just before 10
o'clock Al 1880 after attaining a furious
pace she passed the first mark.
From the time the vessel was sighted
she headed straight for the line her bear
ings having been apparently satisfactory
and at l0:So:F she passed the battleship
Texas.
Great volumes of smoke poured forth
from her tunnels and her bow created a
continuous wave which at times quite
submerged her stem. The first mark boat.
the Osceola, was passed in % minutes 4S
seconds after the start. showing a speed
OF 17:42 knots, and the Kcersarge. the
second mark. was. passed % minutes 30
seconds later, speed of 1854 knots.
This time is better than that made by
her sister ship the kentucky over the
same two legs on her trial trip last No
vember. AT that time the Kentucky did
1865 and 1855 knots respectively.
After passing the second mark the Ala
bama steamed against the wind and a
slight head sea, and from here II was
estimated that IL this speed was main
tanned all the way down the course and
slightly increased on the way back she
would work close TO the record mark
AT noon the Alabama was hull down on
the horizon. sE

WILL WEAR SOCKS
Chicago Girls Take Up Short
Leg-Gear Fad and viii No
Longer Need Carriers.

Chicago, Aug es-The common sock is
to be worn by Chicago maidens in future
in place Of the heretofore popular and far
reaching stocking.
The new hosiery won't be knee high be-
side the other kind, and the stripes must
be OF less width than formerly, but the
sock. according to women of fashion. is
here, or rather there, to stay.
The department stores have stacks OF
socks as high as the roof. and in every
window there are lay figures wearing the
new kind with such effrontery as 10 give
pause to the bashful element were there
any such in Chicago, but thus far no one
has crossed the street to avoid the dis
play.
The sock movement is believed TO have
been brought about by motives of econ
omy for here the lake air and the stock
yards perfume produce sturdy limbs.
and there are thousands here who found
the outlay for long stockings of tre-
mcndous capacity overtaxed their purses.
The new style OF sock Is somewhat diff
ferent from that worn by the common
male. IL Is longer, and so ribbed at the
top that it will require no support un-
less IN cases where the wearer has
Boston leg. Such is straight being
mere stlt i'm the matter OF bulge. and
necessitates the wearing of suspenders
and safety catches.
There are socks here on exhibition into
which one could put a couple of bushels
or oats and hll no more than the foot.
There arc others I'm which the ordinary
woman could carry home her spoil after
raid and never notice II IL she be of nor
NAL build.
And there are stores where women
may be measured for socks and thus be
sure she will never find them boiling
down about her shoes when she is show
ing them on rainy days. That the wo-
men of the smart set are to follow up
the sock game by adopting trousers is
not generally believed here
As the garter is no longer necessary
IL IL said young women who have large
and costly assortments of those things
will wear them as belts. They will need
but slight adjustment and alteration. and
are likely to prove very fashionable, not
to say instructive.
