being declared il neither of the yachts
crosses the finish line within the pre-
scribed time.
That the members OF the New York
Yacht club are confident of retaining
the trophy which has been in their
possession for more than half a cen
fury is beyond question. 1t is true
that the trials of Shamrock III. have
shown that she is an exceedingly dan
geross competitor under almost any
weather conditions, but the American
public and the yachting sharps have
become so accustomed to victory by
the cups defenders that the possibility
of defeat rarely enters into their calcu-
Iations.
In the coming contest however, there
Is enough of the element of uncertainty
to arouse more than the usual deep in
terest In the contest, and, although the
triumph of the genial Sir Thomas is not
considered probable, such result
would cause nothing short of a sensa-
ton and would be regarded as nation

Captain Charles Barr, skipper OF the
Reliance. Is a Scotchman BY birth, but
swore allegiance 10 Uncle sam a num-
Der Of years ago. Few shippers have
had such wide experience In craft Of
all kinds. In 1893 he commanded the
Navahoe, owned by Royal Phelps Car
roll Next he was engaged by George
Could to bring back the Vigilant from
England. He had charge Of her dur

preparatory races Of 1895 and put up
the best possible fight developing ev-

Captain Barr has Il clean and honor.
able record. lie can inspire enthusiasm
and confidence in crew, is good
disciplinarian and is full Of tact and
Scotch canniness Barr is the only
skipper alive who has won two races
for the Americas cup with the same
boat, having sailed the Columbia In
1893 and 1901 against Shamrocks l..
and Ii. Captain Barr is thirty-nine
years old.
Shamrock ILL.,. Sir Thomas Lipton's
latest candidate for cup honors. Is said
to be the swiftest yacht ever sent over

as is the pluckiest aud most popular
yachtsman who has ever striyen to Sc
cure the prize Shamrock III. was de-
signed by William Fife and built in
Dumbarton, Scotland. In her prelim-

Captain Wringc succeeded his fellow
townsman, Captain Sycamore, who sail

considerable experience IN American
waters and was with Captain Hogarth
on Shamrock /. when she raced against

succeed in taking back the trophy he
will be the most popular skipper In all

ing elected mayor of Brightlingsea. an
honor which has already been bestow-

While few If any ON this side of the
Atlantic look for the success of Sir
Thomas so good an authority as Cap
tain Hank Haff predicts that the com

sailed for the historic cup. Should
Shamrock Ill. win the result would
not be altogether displeasing to many
loyal Americans and especially to
sportsmen. who like to see the gage OF
battle first on one side and then on the
other. Selfshness is not characteristic
of the sport loving American, and he
would like to see the gallant Sir Thorn
as win the trophy-if he can.

Prominent Physical Director Says Malt
breakfast Food IL Only Cereal OF Value.
One of the ablest professors Of phys :
ical culture in the country, who lie in
charge of nearly two thousand young
men, 10 recent interview said THE
great body Of fad foods shat are so
extensively advertised are utterly
worthless for nourishment. In many
cases of these ready to serve cereals
the nourshment lie all cooked out when
the food is put in the package. Cere-
ais like these that are eaten cold and
dry, lay on ones stomach like sawdust
or a poultice. The one exception is
Malt Breakfast Food. l believe that
this is true health food, and as soon
as its merits are appreciated by physi-'
cal directors IL will be the most popu-'
ar of all foods. 1t is to be cooked in
the home and when served for break
fast is most appetizing and delicious.
l shall recommend il in all my classes
for proper food is the most important
in the battle for strength and health. "
This is strong language, but it is
undoubtedly true.
Talk over the question Of food with
your physician, or your physical di
rector, and he will undoubtedly tell
you that cold, chippy ready cooked
foods are doing mora TO iniure the
health and cause dyspepsia than any
thing els
A warm dish OF Malt Breakfast Food
is the right breakfast to begin the day
1t supplies the stomach with vitality
and strength, and by lite nourisbment

A stiff seyen-inning game of baseball was played at Whitehorse Monday evening, between the w. P. X Y. k. office crew and that Of the B. Y. N., re- sulting in a victory for the former by a score Of to3.
 The home run of Reed for the B. \. N., was one of the features of the game. Scharschmidt was at first when Reed sent the sphere out over the field until it became tiny speck in the distance. Jerry Quinlan says Reed beat Schar- schmidt home, though both scored.
