The past fortnight has been busy one
in Washington whist circles. Three days
last week were devoted to the annual city

pairing for this tourney weeks ahead and
the play was unusually brilliant.
The tourney was held in the parlors of
the Crawford club, some seventeen teams
taking part. Team No. 49, representing
the Marlborough Whist Club and comprising
Mrs. Tune Mrs. Allen and the two Miss
Schmidts, carried off the premier honors,

Last Tuesday night the Yarboroughs held

CYCLING IN AUSTRALIA.
"Major" Taylor Scoops IN $15, 900 for
Three Months Work.

A special from San Francisco says that
Australian papers of recent date give de-
tails of the Sydney (Austraiia) great carni-
val for prize of $1,000 on Wednesday
evening, March 49, which was won by a
sturdy young American rider. N. c. Hopper,
whom plugger "BilP Martin on his last
visit to America induced to accompany him
back to Australia. .Major" Taylor. the
worlds finest sprinter, has been in Aus
tralia for some months, having received an
offer from the Cyclists Union Of $500 to
visit Sydney and ride number of races at
their meetings. These meetings have been
successfully carried out, and Taylor has
proved beyond a doubt that he is justly en-
titled to the honor he lays claim to as the
champion Splinter of the world. The
major had four hard trials to qualify for
the final in the big prize. He won three
heats, but failed In the fourth, and was
therefore out OF the final for the prize. The
major" was very much upset about the
matter and when spoken to on the subject
threw 1t OF hts chest in plain and vigorous
language:
II didn't come out here to buy or sell
races. I came to Australia as one of
my merits. to win every race started for
IN an honorable manner, and not to be
bought or sold.'

YACHT AMERICA WORN OUT.
The Famous Cup Winner to Be Broken
Up for Souvenirs.

A special to the New York World from
Boston says: The famous old yacht
America has sailed her last cruise
She will soon be broken up. The boat Is
no longer seaworthy and is in danger of
sinking any time at her nioorings in the
Mystic river. Despite the fact that the yacht
is housed over. with a keeper in charge,
time has done it's inevitable work of de-
struction.
The America is owned by Congressman
Butler Ames, who inherited her from his
father-in-law. the late Benjamin F. Butler.
Gen. Butler last had the yacht In commits
sion in days when the Defender drove q
spike into the cup. She was then in a
leaky state. Congressman Ames will break
her up and distribute pieces as souvenirs to
yachtsmen all over the country.
1t may truly be said that If America had
not been built and gone across the Atlantic
to wrest the blue ribbon OF the seas from
the crackerjack yachtsmen OF the other
side, there would today be no Reliance

The stanch little craft brought the coveted
