While Sir Thomas is considerably in
advance of us in the construction OF
his cup yatch, it having been launched
several days ago, the Reliance is well
under way at the Herreshoff yards and
according to all accounts, Is bound to
be winner. The experts are already
settling in advance the outcome Of the
race as the result of a careful consider
alton of such matters as the excessive
bulk the challenger's fin and the
unexpected sharpening of the defend
er's overhang, though it is pretty safe
to say that no one, no matter how ad-
mirable his technical knowledge may
be, scan tell at this stage of the game
how the boats will perform when
tuned up for the race. However, the
indications are that the contest will
be quite close enough to be interest
ing.
Sir Thomas declares that he has in
the Shamrock III, the best of his trio
of challengers and is confident that he
will this time lift the coveted cup.
The defenders are equally confident
of victory, and the American public
may content itself with the hope that
the Reliance will not belle ner name.

ONE ON MR.. BOWEN.
Lack Of Appropriate Raiment Pu
Him in Painful Position,


A Western senator brought to the
capitol yesterday good story about
Minister Bowen, which the minister
himself recently told at dinner.
Il was asked some days after I ar
rived here in Washington" said Mr..
Bowen, why l had stuck so closely
to my rooms at the hotel, and had
not showed myself around town.
THE reply was a rather painful
one, but nevertheless fully truthful.
1t was because l hadn't the cloth s."
Thereupon Mr.. Bowen told how he
had been commissioned to hasten
north suddenly and without opportun-
ity to provide himself with the heav-
Ter wearing apparel necessary for
residence in cold climate. AS soon
as he reached town he put local
tailor to work upon an outfit.
The hardship of the situation was
that Mr.. Bowen had ordered some raj
ment from London, and this was COM
ing across the Atlantic in a British
bottom, which was one of the very
first ships to be held up by the block
aiding fleet of the allies. There was
no help for it, and Mr.. Bowen's Lon
don clothes, such as are necessary
for proper appearance in polite soci-
ETY., are still somewhere in South
America. He had reason, therefore,
for being personally grateful when
the blockade was raised and his
clothes had an opportunity to go for
ward to Caracas.-Washing Post.

Reliance, the name of the new de-
fender of the Americas cup, is good
enough if the boat shall prove to be as
good as its name, though we miss in
the appellation something of the fine
national flavor with which we have
been wont to associate the defenders
of American glory and proves ON the
sea. The people rather like to have
their patriotic emotions stirred by the
name printed on the stern of the boat
and flying on its pennant, However,
Reliance has businesslike and self
assuring sound, and the country will
confidently rely upon it to safely keep
the historic trophy on this side of the
ocean.

Nutritive Value Of Oysters.

Although the actual amount OF
nutritive material in a raw oyster Is
small, 1t comprises all classes of food
substances in a peculiarly assimilable
form. Generally speaking, the raw
mollusc consists of four-ffths water.
The danger-a remote one-of the
oyster containing living typhoid
germs may be obviated by the use Of
lemon juice. The oyster is rendered
tough and indigestible by boiling.
