not abandon his position without a

"You can't deny that Neligan was

THE fhEFA s,A:lgNS FOR
CAMILLA CUP RACES.

The Canada's cup races, the only in
ternational yacht races scheduled to
take place in American waters this
summer, promise to eclipse any con-
tests previously held for the now fa-
NOUS trophy. Three challengers and
three defenders are being built.
One of the defenders is a Herreshof
creation, one of the challengers is by
Fife and another by Alfred Mylne,
whom Sir Thomas Upton has sought to
design fourth Shamrock. The yachts
will be thirty footers. but promise to be
speed wonders, as the designers are
placed in competition, as in the Amer
ica's cup races.
Charlotte, N. Y, the home Of the
Rochester Yacht club, holders of the
cup, which they won with the Ironde-
QUOT in 1908 off Toronto, will be the
scene of the contests.
The Canadian Yacht club sent this
years challenge. OF the three boats
which will compete in the trials to Sc
lect challenger the one which was de-
signed by Mylne has been set up in
Canada. The Fife designed boat is, ex-
pected to arrive shortly, and the third.
from the board of William Johnson, who
has turned out a number of successful
small boats is for a syndicate headed
by J. M. Fearnside and will be known
as Hamilton II. This boat is being cons
structed at Hamilton, Ont.
The trial races to select a defender
will take place off Charlotte. In the
event of a boat outside of the Roches-
ter club winning the series a suitable
trophy will be awarded to it.
Entry conditions for the trial races to
select defender have been formulated,
to be agreed upon by any club entering
a boat. They are as follows:
All yachts entered for the trial races
must be measured by the Canada's cup
committee of the Rochester Yacht club
or person appointed by them before
the day of the first race.
No yacht shall be eligible to contest
in the trial races unless it is built In ac-
cordance with the rules OF the Yacht
Racing Union of the Great Lakes and
the agreement made between the Royal
Canadian Yacht club and the Rochester
Yacht club.
The yacht selected to represent the
club shall be the one which in the judg-
ment of the committee shall be the best
adapted therefor and not necessarily
the winner of the trial races. Addition
al races may be ordered sailed by the
committee between such contestants as
they may select
All races shall be sailed under tho
racing rules of the Yacht Racing Union
of the Great Lakes.
In the event of race being post
poned or ordered resailed it shall be
sailed at as early date as possible.
The trial races will take place in July
off Charlotte, and full instructions will
be given to the owners of competing
boats before that time.
The Herreshoff boat will be about ~
feet over all, 80 feet on the water line,
10 feet inches beam and z feet inch
es draft. She will be shipped by rail to
Charlotte and not taken through the
Erie canal to Oswego, as was the origi-
nal intention.
The boat being built by Miller will be
constructed especially strong. with the
idea of making a cruising sloop Of her

course, the securities which Peter Ca

with rope round my neck as with
Black Peters knife in my heart"
GLOW came you there" asked
Holmes.
.I'll tell it you from the beginning.
Just sit me up a little so as can speak
easy. 1t was in 'S3 that it happened
August of that year. Peter Carey was
master of the Sea Unicorn, and l was
spare harpooner. We We're coming out
of the ice pack ON our way home, with
head winds and weeks sontherly
gale, when we picked up little craft
that had been blown north. There was
one man on her-a landsman. The crew
had thought she would founder and
had made for the Norwegian coast In a
dingey. I guess they were all drowned
Well, we took him ON board, this man,
and he and the skipper had some long
talks in the cabin. All the baggage we
took off with him was one tin box. so
far as | know the mans name was
never mentioned, and on the second
night he disappeared as if he had never
been 1t was given out that he had
either thrown himself overheard or
fallen overheard in the heavy weather
that we were having Only one man
knew what had happened to him, and
that was me. for with my own eyes
saw the skipper tip up'his heels and
put him over the rail In the middle
watch of dark night two days before
we sighted the Shetland lights.
"Well. kept my knowledge to my
self and waited to see what would
come of 1t. When we got back to Scot
land it was easily hushed up. and no.
body asked any questions. A stranger
died by accident. and it was nobodys
business to inquire. Shortly after Pc
ter Carey gave up the sea, and it was
long years before could find where he
was. | guessed that he had done the
deed for the sake Of what was In that
tin box and that he could afford now
to pay me we'll for keeping my mouth
shut.
II found out where he was through
sailor man that had met him in Lon
don, and down l went to squeeze him.
The first night he was reasonable
enough and was ready to give me what
would make me free Of the sea for life.
We were to fix it all two nights later.
When 1 came found him three parts
drunk and in vile temper. we sat
down, and we drank, and we yarned
about old times, but the more he drank
the less liked the look on his face.
l spotted that harpoos upon the wall,
and thought might need 1t before
was through. Then at last he broke
out at me, splitting and cursing, with
murder in his eyes and great clasp
knife in his hand. He had not time
to get it from the sheath before had
the harpoon through him. Heavens.
what yell he gave! And his face gets
between me and my sleep. l stood
there, with his blood splashing round
me- and | waited for a bit, but all
was quiet, so took heart once more.
I looked round, and there was the tin
box on the shelf. had as much right
to it as Peter Carey, anyhow. SO I took
it with me and left the hut. Like a

The second man was a long, dried
up creature, with lank hair and sallow
cheeks. His name was Hugh Pnttins.
he also received his dismissal, his half
sovereign and the order to wait.
The third applicant was n man of
remarkable appearance. A fierce bull

eyes cleaned behind the cover of thick,
tufted, overhung eyebrows. He salut-

Abe Attell tells story characteristic
of Young Corbett. When Attell first
started out he acted as sparring part
ner to Corbett and was with him in
that capacity for nearly year. In
talking of Corbett's gambling propensi-
ties Attell said:

Corbett is the king of the bunch. There

Miss MARGARET Curtis.

The present champion of England is
Miss Lottie bod. She visited Miss
Griscom at Philadelphia year ago
and also defeated her American rivals.
1t is thought that Miss Margaret Cur
tbs will make the best showing against
the daughters of the Mr.. Bull who
owns England. Miss Curtis, although
never champion, was runner up at the
1900 tournament and has since shown
considerable Improvement in form.
The Englishwomen have won in the
past largely through their superior
driving ability. and Miss Curtis is the
best woman driver in this country.
The makeup Of the Yale-Harvard
team that meets the Britishers will not
be known until after the intercollegi-
ate championships at Philadelphia.
The results of the Intercollegiate will
have to be thoroughly digested before
definite nominations are made. The
Englishmen are known to have several
good short distance men, something
they have lacked heretofore, and posi-
bly, they will succeed in defeating the
New England lads.
