COLUMBIA WINS.

The American boat 9Th.
Columbia" "beat"The Shamrock.
in the first of the international
races at New York last Saturday,
by 81 seconds. Time: Colum-
bia 3:31-07; Shamrock 3:3l-44.
It is said to have been one of the
most exciting races ever witness
ed in an international event.
Both boats are of about equal
speed and victory is more due to
the skill of the manipulators than
to the superiority of the boats.
The Columbia kept the lead for
a greater part of the distance and
it was at the finish when the ex-
citement grew intense.
The race Tuesday was called
off, owing to the light wind.

List of Things Which Gus
tom Denies Our Chosen
Ruler.

One would naturally think that
the chief executive of so great
nation as ours would not only be
exempt from some obligations
which fall upon the average citi-
zen, but would enjoy certain
privileges peculiar to the highest
Office within the gift of the pco-
pie. This is not the case, how
eyer. The fact that the Presid-
ent of the United States is the
only law-abiding citizen and rca-
son-possess1ng citizen thereof
whom custom holds prisoner
within limited bounds is brought
out very forcibly by John Elfrcth
Watkins, Jr., in an interesting
article on "Some Things the
President Does Not Do" IN the
October Ladies' Home Journal.
1t shows that in the spending of
his leisure time the President is
more restricted than the janitor
who daily empties his vaste-bas-
ket. For he must not leave the
country, even for day. This is
an old unwritten law. Neither
can he go aboard foreign war;
ships, even when anchored in our
harbors and when nying the col
ors Of a friendly State or make a
formal call upon aryone except a
Presidenr-elect, an cx-President,
President of a foreign State or a
reigning monarch visiting our
capital. lie must not receive any
but intimate friends on Sunday,
or occupy other than the seat of
homer at any formal dinner. He
must never occupy the left side
of carriage seat, or cross the
threshold Of foreign EN- bassy's
residence in Washington, for
that is foreign ground. These
are only few of the many laws
with which custom restricts our
President.
