YACHTS HAD TRIAL.
Days Work of the ShamrOcISs Was
Not Satisfactory.


New York, July ia fair sky and
a splendid racing breeze of fifteen
knots greeted the two Shamrocks when
they arrived at Sandy Hook to-day
for another trial off the lightship.
Sir Thomas had hoped to give the
boats race over thirty-mile course.
but his advisers, including Sallmaker
George Ratsey, who was on board the
Erin, were not satisfied with the set
of Shamrock ILLS new mainsail so
that part of the trial was devoted to
jockeying about the Erin off Scotland
lightship to stretch the new boats
mainsail. After that Shamrock III. led
the old boat a reach from the Scotland
to the Sandy Hook lightship and back,
eight miles, and beat her about a
minute and a half. Just before she
reached Scotland, lightship returning,
a masthead runner block on Sham
rock III gave way, and the trial was
abandoned.
Tonight the New York Yacht Club
gave a dinner to Sir Thomas Upton
and Designer Fife.

MYSTERY AT WASHINGTON.
No Knowledge There of Seizure
Of the Islands.

Washington, July 15.-The reported
seizure of islands off the coast of Bor-
neo by American warships apparently
was as great q surprise to administra-
ton officials in Washington as it was
to members of Parliament in London.
No information that such step was
contemplated has come from the ad-
miral commanding the American fleet
in Philippine waters. and no exploita-
ton along the lines indicated has been
directed by the officials here, so far
as could be ascertained tonight.
A very plausible explanation of the
reported occurrence, it is stated, is that
the commanding officer in the Philip
pines simply had sent one or more of
his vessels and hoisted the flag of the
United States over the Cagayan group.

purchased by the United States from
Spain subsequent to the treaty of
Paris, and that the sovereignty of the,

WOMAN NOT so FRAGILE.

and Meat she Eats.

"A young man of my acquaintance
visits me occasionally" said DR.. Cyni-
Gus, "who is very much in love, but
who wearies me excessively by his
rawlings over his sweetheart. her an
gelic qualities, ct cetera. She is too
fragile for this world, he thinks.
'Fragile?' says i. How fragile?
Ever test her fragility? Let me give
you some figures about her. and wom-
ankind in general, showing the extent
of their fragility.
1--WE will suppose this piece of per
fection is in moderately good health.
She will live to. say, GO years of age.
Women do not like. any more than
men do, to die-not so much. for wom-
en- never grow old. YOU know. Listen
to me? She will eat one pound of
beef, mutton or sGme other meat
every day. That's 365 pounds of flesh
in a year In sixty years it's 21,9O0
pounds. How's that for fragility?
She will eat as much bread and
as much vegetables per diem, and
there you have in GO years 43,S0O
pounds OF bread and meat.
If she is not too angelic she will
drink daily no less than two quarts OF
coffee, tea, wine or beer. And by the
time she is really to have monument
she will have consumed 175 hogs
heads of liquids. Fragile?
Now, says l to this young man,
these figures do not include the 40 or
so lambs she will worry down with
mint sauce. 1t does not take into con-
sideration her ice cream, her oysters,
her CLANS and such. All this means
about 45 tons.

connection with these figures and then
rave over her being fragile. Young
