THE BRITISH EMPIRE

LONDON. Aug. 24.-Ireland usually
is regarded as the "distressful country.
There are less than 5000 900 people in
Ireland, against 40, 900 900 in England
Wales and Scotland. and 1900 900
white citizens of the British empire
in other parts of the world.
In spite of their numerical inferior
ity, lrishmen, however. practically run
the British empire. The heads Of
the army and the legal profession are
lrishmen. The two greatest scientists
in the world. Lord elvin and Sir Robert
Ball, are natives of the Emerald Isle.
Fngland's most trusted diplomatlsts
abroad are Irish born and bred, and
in literature, art and music the Irish
enjoy a predomnance which is hard
to explain.
Another strange fact is that the
majority of lreland's most distn-
guished sons come from Waterford and
Rosecemmon. The county of Water
ford appears to be favorable to foster

and Dublin, literature; and Cork and
Limerick, music.

NEW YORK-If members Of the
New York yacht club carry out race
they have projected, the greatest con-
test in maritime history will come off
soon. For months there has been dis
cussion in the club house on 44th street
as to the relative speed of Chas. r..
F1int's Arrow and W. X. Vanderbilt.
jr.'s Tarantula, and the partisans OF
the boats have been very emphatic in
their championship of their favorites.
A few days ago race was suggested
and Mr.. Flint did not seem averse to
it. As Vanderbilt has always been
willing to race anything that came
along, it is probable the contest will
be carried out.
In all probability these are the fast
est craft ahoat. A year ago the Arrow
vas timed on a measured course and
made mile at the rate of 40 knots or
40 statute miles per hour. Tsrantula
has never been timed in a public exhi-
bition, but it is claimed she is quite a,
fast as the Flint craft.
Tarantula is an English turbine craft
and as Arrow is steam craft of the
usual type. there will be an opportun-
ity for engineers to Judge of the rela.
tive merits of the two type of engines.
Tarantula is from the designing
board of Cox & King the great English
naval architects. She was built by
Iarrow & Go. in 1902. Everything was
sacrificed for speed. Parsons turbine

in 1852. and. in January, 1864, he
was made flag lieutenant to Farra-
gut. He was at the battles of New
Orleans. Mobile Bay, ViCksburg and
Port Hudson. In a letter to his son,
Loyal, during the war, Admiral Far
ragut tells him of young Watson's
volunteering to slip off and blow up a
blockade runner. Among other things
he says:
1T was an anxious night for me,
as I am about as fond of Watson as
I am of your own dear self"
1t was Admiral Watson, then a
young lieutenant. who dashed Far
ragut to the rigging during the battle
of Mobile Bay. The powerful con-
federate ironclad Tennessee attacked
the Hartford fiercely. Farragut took
up his position in the port mizzen
rigging, the better to observe the
fight, and to direct and cheer his men.
Lieutenant Watson, seeing the great
danger to which the intrepid admiral
was exposing himself, procured a
rope and dashed him in his place

the convention is practically unanimous
