The Sad Story of William Rice
and His Blasted Ambition.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1905-02-04
THE EGG AND SPOON RACE.

and good book is always the best way
of passing few hours in long after
noon. II the people on board are the
least inclined to be musical there are al
ways plenty Of petitions for waltz or
two-step, though the unstable floor OF an
ocean steamer Is the worst place in the
world to dance. The best part Of the
dance is the promenade after, the decks
swung with lights, the white-feeced
water with its CLEANS Of phosphorus
and the brilliant stars that never seem
so near nor SO bright as when they
crowd from one side of the horizon to
another bounded only by endless space.
A large steamer is like a great hotel,
every one is but unit of the whole. BY
the second day out cliques have formed
and you learn people in few weeks
time as you would perhaps never know
them in al ordinary acquaintance.
The sad part is the breaking up perhaps
forever Of friendships formed. The gala
dinner always given on the night before
the landing has more sadness than We
would think possible when we remem-
Der that on the morrow we have reached
our chosen destination. and to most Of
those who have travelled so far together
remains the memory of happy care-free
hours idled away In pleasant company.

think of hold the social hall and the
smoking room in thrall.
2 During the morning there are more
stirring games for athletically inclined,
races from the three-legged race to tina
potato race, men and women racing up
and down the slanting deck trying to
carry a large potato on tiny spoon.
Nearly every day there are chances
sold on the length of the run. AS this
varies from day to day for each "a hours
the bidding for the scores is sometimes
very lively.
Numbers, approximately what the
run has been for the last "a hours, are
put up at auction, the holder OF tia
lucky number sometimes winning quite
sum.
On every trip there is tug of war, or
rather two, one for the ladies and one
Tor the men. There are many prelim-
mary pulls, the captain OF each team
coaching his band till all are in good
trim for the final tussle.
On a boat with many English passen-
gers you will always find place marked
off for cricket. Day after day the games
go on till 1t becomes contest OF con.
siderable skill.
During a trip through tropic waters
the men on board have one great adj
vantage over the women; huge tank
built of heavy canvas is erected at one
end of the boat and every morning the
men come tumbling out in their bathing
suits for dive and plunge in the wa.
ter. Occasionally In obstacle races about
the boat the men are compelled to go
through a hoop suspended in the middla
Of the tank. ~
The large ships now all carry fine IL
braries for the use OF the passengers.
