But success here does not stif1e effort.
We not only rigidly maintain the high
standard to which we have raised our
merchandise, but better it whenever
betterment is possible.
We improve as we go along-have
been doing it since in business, until
now. We place before the people of

Even our lowest priced goods possess
exceptional good merits.
For Years This Store

the country, and this Spring the stock
is larger than than ever. Only one
reason for this, the constant broadening
out of this business necessitated it. 1t
logically follows that our purchasing
power is correspondingly greater. Hence
our ability to serve our patrons better
this season than ever before. Nothing
startling about our low prices,an dealer

New York, Sept Though the de-

tempt to race today the wind fell so
rapidly after the start that the con-
test was officially declared off,
AS an event in yachting, the inter
national yacht races have been a pro-
longation of AN agony, wish to see
ended, and what interest remained af-
ter the four races between Reliance
and Shamrock III, has gradually dis
appeared with each succeeding at
temtp to race. The decided superior
ity of Reliance over Shamrock III dem
ontrated in the two races that have
been sailed left no doubt in the minds
OF the world at large as to the better
boat and the consequent unsuccessf d.
attempts to sail the third, and VIII J.
is looked upon assuredly as the dec
sive race, is but suspense to the Sham
rocks supporters as well as to the
American world of sports.
In yesterdays attempt the tagging
interest was most evident. There
were few private yachts to follow the
boats over the course, the excursion
fleet was little more than small pic
mic party, while the bulletin boards
about the city newspaper offices were
almost deserted. The third race must
be sailed, however, to carry out the
articles of agreement, or deed of gift,
of the Americas cup.
