YACHTING

:. The seventy nine-mile run yesterday Of
the New York Yacht club cruise, before an
eighteen-kDot southwestern from Vineyard
Haven to. Provincetown, not only furnished
the best sport of the week, but proved one
of the finest runs in the history of the club
cruises, equaling if not exceeding the run
made eleven years ago around Cape Cod
-. Starting two hours after sunrise, the lead
crs of the fleet kept up. a twelve-knot pace
for over, seventy five miles, being almost en- :
tirely before the wind and ending up with a
smart, hard thrash over the four miles Of the
home stretch from the race point to the fn-
ish line Wood End Light. Nearly every
yacht was able to get into the harbor some
hours before sunset, and every one was en-
thusiastic over the day's~sport.s
The big, schooner Constellation, owned by
Francis Skinner of Boston, led for three
quarters Of the way, but was beaten out at
the finish by the three seventy-footers, Rain
bow, Mineola and Yankee, the first of the
three leading the entire fleet across the line

OFFICIALS ARE A

500 OFFICIALS PLEASED WITH
THE CROP OUTLOOK IN NORTH
DAKOTA.
Minneapolis Times: Vice President
and General Manager e. Pennington OF
the 500 road, who returned Saturday
from a trip to Bismarck, N. D., said
yeterday that crops along the 500 line
in Minnesota and North Dakota were
never in better condition nor were
prospects ever brighter for a bountiful
harvest.
Rye is ripe and is being cut in many
places. and the barley and oats harvest
will begin next week.
Wheat has attained a magnificent
stand and is headed out over the
greater portion of the wheat area of
the two states adjacent to the 500 road.
Flax, the seeding of which began
about May Is and continued until July
l. is in all stages of growth, from the
plant that is just showing above the
ground to fields that are in bloom.
Prospects for a record breaking crop
of fax were never better al this season
of the year.
Work on the extension of the 500
road into Bismarck is progressing rap
idly, and it is expected trains will be
running into that city early in August.
Grading has been completed and the
work of laying the steel is now in pro-
gress.
In speaking of the earnings record OF
the 500 for the last fiscal year and OF
the outlook for the present fiscal year
Mr.. Pennington had occasion to reiter.
ate his former declaration that The
company would not make any dividend
disbursements this year. In this con.
nection. he said: e .'"T52; ~;
"The paying of dividends by the Sot
road at this time would be. about a.
sensible a proposition as the purchas,
OF a silk hat by a man with an ordi
nary suit of clothes and a worn on
pair of shoes. There are too man,
places where the surplus earnings cal
be expended to advantage in improve
ments Of the system to think of de
claring dividends"
