Yale seemed to have fathomed his

THE SHAMROCKS IFS
NEW STEEL MAST
Hollow Steel Spar go Feet Long
stepped-Saves Top-weight and
Reduces Wind Surface.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Glasgow, June Y.-The Shamrock IFS
new mast was stepped yesterday. The
new spar consists of a hollow steel pole
100 feet long, built in a single piece from
step to- truck. 1t is the first spar Of it's
kind ever made. The advantage claim
ed for the new mast is that it saves top
weight and also presents a smaller wind
surface. 1t permits Of dispensing with
gear for the hosting and lowering of
the topmast and it is believed that a sim
gle spar can be bcaced more rigidly than
a splced telescope mast.
The chief disadvantage of the SINGLE
piece pole lies in the impossibility of
housing the topmast in heavy weather.
In this respect it is pointed out that this
Vancouver has been resOrted to but once
in the history of yacht racing.
Mr.. Watson and Sir Thomas Upton
We're present when the mast was stepped.
The challenger's sails are due to arrive
next Wednesday and the yacht will take
her first spin under new canvas next
Thursday.

THINKS CRESCEUS A WINNER
Owner of Famous Trotter Confident His
Horse Will Beat The Abbott
in the Ballle Royal.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, June 21.-George II. ketch-
am. owner of the champion trotting
stallion. Cresceus, 2:04. recently talked
interestingly about that great horse that
is to meet The Abbott, 2:04l4. in battle
royal for the championship of the trot-
ting turf at Brighton Beach, in less than
two months hence.
"Cresceus never before pleased me as
much as he does this season." said Mr..
Ketcham He is feeling like a fight
ing cock and just wants to run away on
a trot. I let him step his first mile be-
low 2:2O just before l left Cleveland. 1t
was trotted in 2:17 with the last eighth
in 141a seconds, and Cresceus was actu-
ally going within himself at the finish.
/ believe his record will he 300 or better
before the end of the season, provided he
has good luck to get a good day and
track when he starts to beat the rec
ord.
Mr.. Ketcham says Cresceus has only
three engagements to race this season.
and at present there are no other en-
gagments in sight These races are at
Brighton Beach in August. at Boston in
September, and at Lexington in Octo-
ber He will meet The Abbott here,
Boralma and Charley Herr at Boston
and Charley Herr at Lexington. If he
can win all three races his earnings for
the season will foot up something like
So. 900.
Between his engagements al New
York and Boston Cresceus will proba-
bly, make an attempt to beat his own
record and that of The Abbott. Mr..
ketcham says he likes the Glens Falls
track for such a trial of speed. but as
the Grand Circuit meeting there is
scheduled for the same dates rs the
meeting in New York. some other course
must he chosen. Although the Detroit
Driving club has offered a purse of
s.. 800 for a free for all trotting race at
the Grand Circuit meeting next MONTH
it is not probable that Cresceus will
start in race until he meets The Alb
bott at Brighton Beach on August 10.
Mr. Ketcham says he will save his horse
up for the contest by working him along
side running horse

After figs have been collected they
are dipped in boiling brine, and then
dried on trays for from two to four
days. according to the weather. The
dipping is supposed to bring the sugar

After being dried the figs are placed
in Sweat boxes" holding 1000 pounds
each, where they remain for two
weeks. Then they are washed in cold
salt water to remove all dirt, and are

"Mr. Buchanan. who was the first
bachelor elected to the presidency. was
65 years OF age when elected, and had
deliberately given himself to life OF
celibacy." writes William Perrine in
the Ladies' Home Journal. "In the
days when he was young lawyer OF
Lancaster, Pa, he had loved Miss Cole
man, a beautiful daughter OF q citizen
OF that town. They had been engaged
to be married when one day he was
surprised to receive from her request
to release her from the promise. Ac-
cording to Mr.. George Ticknor Curtis
the separation originated in misun-
derstanding on the part OF the lady.
who was unusually sensitive. over
some small matter exaggerated by gid
the estrangement she was sent to
Philadelphia, and there died suddenly.
Throughout the rest OF his life or near
ly half century, Mr.. Buchanan is not
known to have revealed to anybody
the circumstances of this romantic
tragedy. He would only say that 1t had
changed his hopes and plans. and had
led him more deeply than ever into
politics as a distraction from his grief.
In his old age. long after he had re-
tired permanently to private life. he
called attention to n package contain
ing. he said. the papers and relics
which would explain the causes OF his
youthful sorrow. and which he pre-
served evidently with the idea OF re-
vealing them before his death. But
when he died. and his will was read.
it was found that he had directed that
the package should be burned without
being opened. and his injunction was
obeyed"

Capt. strsster Of Chicago Has Imitator
In Kansas CITY.
Captain Streeter, the famous squat
ter of the north shore, has an imi-
tator in Kansas City. For the Mis-
souri, town, as well as Chicago, has a
shifting water front, as the Missouri
river has an uncanny habit of shift
Ing Its course frequently, submerglng
what has been dry land in the past
and creating real estate where once
there was naught but muddy water
rushing onward to the gulf. In the
channel Of the river. just a stones
throw from the foot OF one of Kansas
City's chief business streets, is an ISL
and of about 130 acres. which John H.
Mensing claims to own. His claim dates
from 1857. when he discovered the ISL
and and took up his residence upon 1t.
Later the government came along
looking for place to establish reser-
vations. and decided to take this.
Mensing resisted, and was driven at
the point of the bayonet to one corner
Of the island, where he erected a
stockade and bade defiance TO the SOL
diers. At that time the island was
much larger. but the Missouri river
seemed to resent the presence Of the
soldiers as much as did Mensing, and
from that date began to eat the land
away by slow degrees until only about
three acres remained. But the three
acres were those where Mensing had
erected his stockade. He concluded
that Providence was with him. The
soldiers had no further use for the
island and have been withdrawn. Then
the river began industriously putting
the earth back again, and in due
course the three acres grew to 100.
About this time the prospective value
Of the land was recognized. and pro-
ceedings were begun in the interior
department to have the island declared
a public reservation. This action was
defeated. Then came mysterious
corporation called the East Kansas
City Land Company. which tried to
prove to the interior department that
the tract had been ceded to 1t Long
while ago. The case has Just been
argued, and It is confidently predict
ed that the decision will be against the
company. So Mr.. Mensing now be-
lieves that he has the first claim, un-
der sQuatters' title. to land valued at
$125.O0O
