In explaining the poor showing of the year the
report says: The average requirements by rail-
roads and other users of freight for replace
ment and equipment Is about 1875 600 cars per
annuTn. During the year 1903 only about 10000
cars were ordered and most OF these in the early
part OF the year that the car building COM

fore the year 1904 During the year 1904 onlv abo,t
10000 cars were ordered and fully 70 per cent of
these orders were placed during the last three
months of the year. There was. therefore NO tir,o

ordered last year. consequently they do not aeura

Marie Palmer Wins the Race.

| BOSTON, June 7. Boston harbOr saw
| the finish of one of the greatest coast
wise races between big vessels in years
yesterday afternoon when the four
masted schooner Marie Palmer dropped
anchor, the first of six big coasters
which were racing from Baltimore.
The Palmer was only two hours
| ahead of her nearest competitor, the
big six-master George w. Wells. The
four masted schooner Alice Colburn
was third and the flyer Prescott Palmer
crossed the line fourth. The fourth
vessel was only four hours behind the
leader. The fOur-masters Addison E.
Bullard, the Benjamin F. Poole, indie
pendent and John Twohy were also in
the race and most of them arrived last
night.
The Marie Palmer passed out by
Cape Henry in company with the rest
OF the fleet at a. m. Friday There
was a fresh wind, and it was ''set sail
and devil take the hindmost.''
The big siX-master was the favorite,
but the Marie Palmer soon showed she
was in the running. Both these YES
sells parted company from the rest of
the fleet early and fought it out to:
gether running up the coast. Several
times the Wells led, and each time the
Palmer overlook her. At the shoals
the Palmer was ahead and around the
Cape. Then the Wells secured a tug,
Tin these commercial races everything
is fair and passed the Palmer.
The Palmer soon picked up a tug and
passed the Wells, this time in the bay.
The crews of the vessels were much ex
cited and bet everything they owned on
their respective vessels. Last night the
sailors of the Palmer had cash to burn,
and burned considerable portion of
it in the vicinity of Atlantic avenue.
Both vessels went at once to discharg-
ing berths while the others will have
to wait, in some cases week. A Bos-

A WHITTIER IMPROMPTU.

BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.
A bevy of merry girls, daughters Of
Whittiers Anesbury neighbors, &C
companied him on one of his summer
visits to the Bearcamp region, at West
Ossipee, n. H. Toward sunset, one day.
they were seated ON the bank of the
river, and the young lady with the
quaint name Miss .Jettie Morrill,
the same young friend for whom Whit
tier wrote ''The Henchman' and '"The
Voyage of the Jettie'') asked Whittier
to improvise a poem suggested by his
surroundings. These lines were CON-
posed upon the spot, and l have them
as repeated from memory by one of the
party. They were never before in
print.-Samuel T. Pickard, Amesbury,
Mass, May, 1905.
The Bearcamp's pleasant banks upon,
l sit like gray Anacreon,
And, happy as the Greek of old,
l watch the sunsets paling gold,
And mark the change of mountain mist
From blush of rose to amethyst.
No chain of roses round my head,
But smiles of merry girls instead;
For Samian wine from f1agOnS poured,
I've sweetmeats from the private hoard
Of one to whom is fifty given
The sweetest name of earth or heaven;
And Of one other. young as yet,
And fair as springs first violet;
And one whose quaint name half bellies
Her fair brown hair and soft blue eyes,
So ringed about with laughing youth,
quite forget my gray hairs truth.
The shadow of my life's long date
Runs backward on Times dial-plate;
l feel as when my youth began
The boy still lives within the man.
count myself like yonder tree,
By many winters messed and worn,
Girt by its gO0dly company
OF flowers, and so not ali forlorn.

she can splice rope or climb a ladder
with the best of them.
On shore she is demure rosebud of
a girl, whose strange experiences no
one would imagine. She and her
young and pretty mother are both glow
ing examples of the sort of health that
comes with breathing pure sea air.
Capt. Graham carries always with
him his private yacht, gasolene motor
launch q feet long, of four-horse power,
also his own automobile When in
port this automobile is taken ashore
and used constantly. Driven by the
captain, it took first prize in the floral
parade at Honolulu last Thanksgiving
day.
The Erskine NJ. Phelps is famous
vessel, with records for other things
than speed. She is all steel, with four
steel masts, carrying a crew of 30 She
is $50 feet long, with Is feet beam and
26 feet depth of hold, Her masts are
200 feet from truck to deck, probably
the largest in the world, though she is
not the largest vessel.
She holds the record for fast sailing
from Norfolk, Va, to Honolulu, which
trip she made in 81 DAYS, and IS general
ly conceded to be the fastest deep
water ship atloat.
On her last voyage out bound for
Honolulu, while going around the Horn,
she encountered the famous German
sailing ship the Potosi, and a race
came off, in which the great white flyer
left the German craft below the
horizon in six hours run.
The saloon and private dining room
of the captain and his family occupy to-
gether the entire width of the ship,
each being larger than that in the
average small dwelling house. The
saloon has, besides the piano, a good Ii
brary, and is richly furnished with
turkish rugs and handsome furniture.
Back of it is the dainty boudoir of
Mrs. Graham, and back of that large
bathroom, with porcelain tub and wash
stand and hot and cold water. Back
of the dining room is a small break.

a hard coal cooking range, which is
especially priced.
