AUXILIARY POWER sLoop
Latest Addition to Fleet of Pleasure
Craft.

Among the latest additions to the feet of
pleasure craft owned here, is the auxiliary
power sloop Of Mr.. Edward Gardner. which
arrived here about two weeks ago from Sol
onions Island, Md. where she was built
The new craft is one Of the handsomest and
most roomy looking boats on the river She is
thirty Eight feet long and ten feet beam and
draws sufficient water to allow her to carry
her big sail in all ordinary weather. A
roomy cabin covers more than half the lit
tie craft aft the single mast and it Is fitted
up In most comfortable style with state
rooms and all the latest eonveniences in
yacht Quitting. A ten horse power naptha
explosive engine will furnish the power to
drive the vessel along at good speed in calm
weather and makes her independent of tide
and winds. She was built for comfort and
pleasure and her owner will find both in his
cruises along the Potomac and on Chesa-
peake bay.
A new sloop built at Deans boat yard, at
Alexandria, for Mr.. Hugh Duffy of this
city, was launched at the boat yard Satur-
day afternoon last with mast and sails in
position and ready for use. The sloop is
built on racing lines and carries a big
spread of canvas for small craft. She
was out for trial spin on the river off
Alexandria yesterday afternoon and will be
brought up to this city in few days.

on an extensive automobile tour with Til
bury as chauffeuer. and that they had
been registered as Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon

HALF MILLION CARTRIDGES
EXPLODED IN A BONFIRE.
Dealers in Ammunition Try to Con-
vince Fircmen That Missiles Are
Not Dangerous in Blaze.

Chicago. Jan 3o.-Half a million car
tridges were exploded on the lake front
this afternoon in an experiment under
taken by dealers in ammunition to prove
to the members OF the Fire Department
that such articles are not a source of dam
ger at fire in the building in which
they are stored.
The cartridges exploded with considera-
bic force, but, beyond fiinging the metal
lie shells about 100 feet from the fire, gave
no evidence of destructive power. The
cartridges were in boxes which were piled
and a bonfire made of the lot.
After the test the Fire Marshals' who
witnessed it admitted that there seemed
to be no danger, but all of them We're of
the opinion that no fireman would enter
a place where such threatening noises
prevailed.
