FATHER OF THE FAITHFUL,
A Glimpse Of the Sultan as He Rides
in State.

II you wish for a glimpse, and that
! but momentary one, of the Sultan Of
Turkey, then drive to Yildiz Kiosk, for
the day is Friday and he goes to the
Selamilik, as his fathers did before
him. He is enveloped in a cloud Of
ministers and military guards, who
are anxious only as they press around,
to protect him from the faintest whis-
Per or suspicion Of any storm outside
his palace walls. To-Day the sun Is
distinctly warm, and wakes up all the

which quickly carpets the dirty road.
To see this done with such lightning
speed makes one wonder whether the
Sultan knows how filthy dirty are the
streets of his capital. This is the
more unlikely as ne only quits his
palace twice a year, and on both ccca-

takes place along the route Of Stam-

Sofia.
All eyes are now turned toward the
palace, for the ladies of the harem are
approaching in close carriages drawn
by gray horses. They enter the gates
Of the inclosure in front Of the
mosque; the horses are taken out and

same great faith in her as he had when
the boat was first tried.
II is OF interest TO note that the form
OF the Constitutions midship section is
about half way between that OF the
Shamrock III and the Reliance.
The Reliance has about one foot more
beam than the Constitution. while the
Shamrock III's may be eighteen inches
less. II the matter OF dead rise. the
Reliance is about two feet less amid
ships. and the Shamrock III. about two
feet more than the Constitution
