night at the Emergency Hospital attract
ed considerable interest. Mr.. Leo C..

IN the city on twenty -four hour leave
OF absence he boarded car for one ot

In short time, however, he made the
acquaintance of female passenger who
was bound for the same resort, and for a
short time the evening was spent quite
pleasantly. AS the evening wore on the
companion excused herself for a short
time. leaving with Tracey her coat and
hat. Tracey waited and waited for the
woman to return. but in vain, and finally
he boarded Car for the city, cawying
on his arm the two articles of wearing
apparel. Tracey had walked but a short
distance, when he was taken into custody

school this week has been small This
was due partly to the fact that the school
IS TO be kept open only ten weeks. and
to the notice given rega ding the Green

misunderstood the opening dates. Mr..

the colored people of Annapolis are too
deeply interested in the education oftheir
children to allow the school to be closed
so early. A meeting will be held at the

Old Well Discovered.

An old well. over which the earth and
grass sod has grown for many years, was
discovered yesterday in the yard in the
rear of the Mason's home on Conduit
street. The well is about eighteen feet
deep and contains thirty inches of water.
1t is bricked around, and was probably
an old cistern. Recent repairs to the
building have necessitated carts backing
into the yard, and a cart wheel broke
through the earth, when the well was
subsequently discovered. Some OF the
Masons shudder when they think how
they used to gather round in this yard
and sit with chairs tipped back over this
well. How near they were to sinking
into the old well. few realized. for scarcely
a foot of earth covers the mouth of the
well. Every precaution will be taken to
guard against future danger.

It IS Americas CUP.

race and the series for that famous sea
trophy. the Americas cup.
In dense fog. which prevented vision
beyond two hundred yards. she finished
the race at 5. 5000 amid the acclamation
of the assembled fleet. Shamrock III,
after running for more than an hour in
the fog. missed the finish line, passed by
it and then returned to it again.
AS the Reliance was being towed
through the fleet, yacht ensigns fiutter-
ing from her truck and spreaders in
celebration of her victory. the Shamrock
III did not cross the finish line. As
often said of the historic race when the
America won the up,there was no second
This successful result was achieved
only after four futile attempts to sail
off the final race and after the outcome
had been admitted by even Sir Thomas
Upton himself to be foregone con-
clusion. Yesterdays was the eighth at
tempt of the boats to sail race.
After one huke the Reliance won the
two following races, one by seven min
utes and three seconds and the other by
one minue and nine seconds. A week
ago the first attempt to sail the third
race failed, and attempts have been
made every day this week. but lack OF
wind prevented either boat from finish
ing the course in the required time.
On two occasions the Reliance led the
Shamrock TO the finish line by about two
miles, but failed to reach it before the
expiration OF the time limit OF five and
half hours. Yesterdays race means
that the cup is destined to remain in
America until England is able to pro-
duce a genius equal to Herreshoff in
art of yacht designing Then, perhaps.
she may make better showing.

A number of new officers and profess
ors who will be attached to the Naval
Academy at its opening in October, are
looking for suitable quarters. These are
scarcely to be found inside the Academy
grounds. as many of the officers old
quarters there have been torn down to
clear the site for the new chapel, and the
former occupants have had to look for
quarters. The newcomers find it difficult
to secure homes in town suitable in price,
locality and modern convenience. There
is a good opening here for large up-to-
date apartment house. and such build.
ing would be a profitable investment
The lot on Maryland avenue, which was
once thought to be the site for Hotel
Admiral, would be just the very place
for modern apartment house.
