attracted a good deal of attention among
yachtsmen on this side OF the water. That
she should beat the two Watson yawIs the
Sybarita and the Meteor, and. I'm addition,
the Watson cutter. the Kariad. was hardly
expected from the Fife challenger. When
Capt. Sycamore. who has charge of the new
Shamrock. was here a year ago, he as
loud in his praises of the Sybarita which
he had sailed so successfully against the
Meteor The Kariad. then the Distant
Shore, had not then been tried, owing to
the death, in South Africa of the sons of
Mr.. Rose who was then the owner, but .
Capt. Sycamore expected her to prove a
wonder The Fife boat has again shown
her superiority in reaching and in addition
has made it quite clear that she is a very
much better boat than when she met the
Columbia off Sandy Hook.
If the Watson Shamrock also improved
after her accident, should outsail the Fife
yacht by decent margin. the Constitution
will have her work cut out for her to save
the cup. Whether the new challenger will
be capable of doing this is a matter about
which there is some doubt, although a
yachtsman who has watched her perform
ance and who is among the doubters, says
he believes she will prove "a very slippery
and dangerous opponent in light winds and
smooth water" This yachtsman thinks the
chief weakness of the new challenger is
the manner in which she stops when driven
into anything like head sea He believes,
also, that the accident which made such
clean sweep of everything is the best
thing that could have happened to her. and
that she will leave the yards again a better
boat than ever.
Story of Devery's Defeat.
Deputy Police Commissioner Devery's
friends are giving a version of his
defeat for the presidency of the Associa-
tion of Police Chiefs of the United States.
and Canada, which held its annual conven-
tion here a week ago, and Of the motive OF
Chief Philip Deitsch OF the Cincinnati po-
lice, who read paper on Police Organi-
zation and Discipline which dealt largely
with protected vice and was considered a
direct slap at Devery. 1t is stated that
Deitsch brought about Deverys defeat be-
cause Commissioner Murphy had refused to
countenance scheme of Deitschs for get
ting out a souvenir program. 1t is further
stated that when the chiefs began to ar
rive there were indications that Mr.. Dev-
ery's election was rot a certainty by any
means. This feeling did not take definite
shape until the second days session. Then
it was that Superintendent Deitsch read his
paper, entitled Police Organization and
Discipline" 1t created something of sem
sation in the convention. Superintendent
Deitsch said the social evil had created
trouble for policemen and would continue
to do So 1t was agreed by everybody in
terested in the matter that Superintendent
Deitsch's discourse seemed to be aimed at
Mr.. Devery. He and his friends evidently
thought so, too, for Immediately they be-
gan electioneering for votes to insure his
election. Tammany Hall also took hand
in the game 1t was pointed out that the
election of Mr.. Devery as president would
be nice campaign document to be used
against any hue and cry that might be
raised about Tammany police rule-a vim

Mr.. Devery gathered his political friends
around him and the chiefs were made to
understand that they could have anything
they wanted for the asking. Champagne

Hotel, where the chiefs convened, was
merry place. Superintendent Deitsch's
campaign, however, was very active. He
soon learned that the chiefs from up state
were with him. When a caucus was held
the night before the election 1t was said
that Mr.. Deverys defeat was assured.
When the ballot was taken the next day
Chief Sylvester OF Washington won by one
vote. He got hfty-one votes and Devery
fifty. The campaign argument against
Devery was that he was not member or
the uniformed force-was commissioner.
not a chief-and was subject to removal
any day.
Senator Depew Marriage.
The recent marriage Of Justice Brewer,

"Rumor has said that / was to marry a
widow in Europe" continued the senator.

widows, and would be willing to wed any
one of them, but do not know that they

marrying me off every three months. got
so in the habit that / began marking on
wedding dates on my private calendar, and
felt disappointed IL the reporters did not
appear on time to ask me who the wo-
man was In some instances her picture
has been printed. In each case have ad-
mired the taste of my friends. The only
trouble was that IL worried the young wo-
men mentioned. This time the woman is
a widow and is located in Europe. 1t adds
the charm of mystery. You don't know
whether she Is tall, short, old, young or
slender.

different from picking a winner at horse

for she would have to represent me at the
head of my table. l would also want heT
