The Hurrr-scurrx Race.

In the vicinity of Montreal no regatta
program is complete without n hurry
scurry race. OF course, writes con
trlbutor to Association Men, such races
are not omitted from our Y. NJ. G. A.
camp sports.
Each canoe is anchored from twenty
five TO fifty feet away from the starting
place At the crack Of the pistol the
contestants dive into the water and
swim to their canoes. get in, cast loose,
and paddle for dear life for the turning
buoy. one hundred yards away.
In the midst of their struggle the pis-
toll banks. Every man throws his pad
die overheard and follows suit himself,
then returns to his canoe and continues
padding until the next shot. when the
same performance is repeated. The
first man home is the winner.
The novice swamps his craft on the
first attempt, but the expert viii often
finish the race with but two or three
gallons of water in his canoe.
The event is made much more diff
ficult by compelling the men at the sec
ond shot to upset their canoes and right
them again. A Montrealer has succeed
ed 10 doing this in three and three
fourth seconds, turning his canoe com
pletely over and shipping only a few
quarts of water in doing 1t.
Another feature is to swamp the
canoe, filling it to the gunwale and then
emptying it. This has been done in less
than one minute. These latter tricks,
however, are not often tried in this race,
as they make II too difficult.

did so it became necessary for him to
make a gesture, and he solemnly raised
one hand aloft. With it came the cos

HOW LOVE is MADE IN MEXICO.
Young Men and Women Rarely Meet.
Only in Presence of Girls Relatives.

Young Men end Women Rarely Meet
Only in Presence of Girl's Relatives.
Sonora Adelaide Yasquez Schiafino
Mexican woman, in a paper in the
Womans Home Companion, entitled
THE Social Sphere of Mexican Won.
en-" writes as follows of courtship be-
You'd the Rio Grande;
"A Mexican girl realizes she is a miss
of some Importance when she has at.
tracted the attention of a would-be cav.
alier, who has seen her at mass or dur
ing promenade on the plaza. Without
the formality of an Introduction he dis.
patches letters glowing with words OF
admiration and devotion, and nervouslv
awaits a reply. In the meantime he
visits the locality of her home, hoping
to catch sight of the object of his adj
miration at the balcony or as she
energies from the house to attend
church. He patiently but perslstently
promenades backward and forward In
the street, for custom forbids his en-
trance to the house, and is happy if
favored with a glance from her lustrous
black eyes. No rldicule is strong
enough to dampen his ardor, and no
objections of irate parents sufficiently
powerful to subdue his passion.
Mexican lovers rarely meet, for even
if the young man is related to the fam
lily of the young lady, and has been a
caller at the home, the mere fact of his
paying attention to her puts a severe
restraint on his intercourse with the
family. After a time, If things have
progressed favOrably, he is admitted
as an accepted sutton, and is received
by the girl always accompanied by her
mother, who usually does all the con-
versation. But love finds many forms
of expression, and stolen glances. never
suspected, speak volumes for the low
ers. AS the suit progresses many an
evening passes with the girl at the win
dow or balcony, and her lover in the
street below, wholly oblivious of the
passer-by or his naive or caustic re-
mark. The duration of a courtshlp de-
ponds upon the formality employed, the
means at command of the parties. and
their age. Consent for the marriage is
demanded from the parents of the girl
by the suitor's father, who is accom-
panied by priest, that the pledges may
be made the more binding"

our grandparents spoke Of the eccen-

to grow on his face. OF twenty-five

razor. The familiar group of portraits
of our Presidents shows no well-beard-
