n boat for strong winds, n for light

These boats are very pretty, normal In

by Won Hacht and the other two by Max
Oertig
The Glnckauf and wannsee have been ut
Marblehead tuning up for some weeks.
The Title arrived there on August Is and
since that time has been out sailing each

admired and It is a general opinion Gmuag
those who nave seen the boats that they

The Wannsee is sailed by tito ProtsenI

between smaller boats manned by amateurs
would come nearer tho true spirit OF the
sport and do more for yachting.
The first suggestion Of q race wa made
through John d. Long, who was Secretary
OF the Navy In isoa He addressed a letter
to DIR. Won Holleben, the German Ambas-
sador, saying that the Eastern Yacht Club
thought the time particularly propitious
for b initiation Of plans that would tend
tn the furtherAnce Of our present cordial
relations and to increase the good fellow
ship between tho two peoples The East
ern Yacht Club offered a perpetual chal-
lenge cup for competition between Ger
many and America exclusively, and asked
that the matter be laid before the Emperor.
In 1908 the Eastern Yacht Club heard
from the German yaohtsmen. It was
stated that the measurement rules Of the
two countries were so different that il
would be impossible to accept the offer.
The Eastern Yacht Club went on with the
negotiations. The rules on this side were
changed and were made very similar to
those on the other dde Of the Atlantic,
and the Eastern men suggested that the
CUP be offered for boats considerably
smaller than those required In the Amsricas
Cup contests.
Several letters passed, and Last year
Henry Howard, chairman Of the regatta
committee Of tho Eastern club, went TO
Germany and conferred with members OF
the Imperial Yacht Club and submitted
q draft Of the terms Of . match. In these
terms 1t was stated that the objects Of tho

The waters Of Marblehead, Mass; will
be the scene this week OF an international
yachting contest, and the chief prize Is a
stood sponsor. The race will be bstween
yachts Of Germany and OF the United
States, and each country will nave three
representatives.
The boats are small craft, in size nothing
like the Americas CUP racers, but great
attention has been paid to them on both
sides Of the Atlantic, and the international
favor make it probably the most inter-
esting yachting event of the year. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's interest in the race has
given it considerable prominence, and on
the other side Of the ocean the German
Emperor has done all in his power to make
IL a success.
The race was arranged by the Eastern
Yacht Club. II tool some time to got
German and American yachtsmen together
in an international contest, but now the
indications are that it will be a success.
About the time that the Emperor placed
an order here for the building OF the
schooner Meteor some members Of the
Eastern Yacht Club saw an opportunity
70 devoiop q new school Of international
sport. They reasoned that to bring about
an international contest would not only
be a good thing for the sport Of yachting,
but at the-same time would foster the inter-
national good feeling begun by the visit
Of Prince Henry at the tims the Meteor was
launched. ". /.

my experience that II one indulge himself

to their account, which, in due course, they
are Inevitably called upon to settle.

oKLAHoMA'S RIGHTS,
New State Must Wait to Select Reserve
Lands Until After the
Auction.

Washington. Aug. 13.-Offlcials OF
the general land Office who have been
cooking Into the question whether
Oklahoma, under the statehood act.
had the right TO select lands from the
reserve that is to be opened soon.
have arrived at the conclusion that
the act relating to the Kiowa reserya-
ton must be followed strictly in
disposing of those lands. The terri
torial secretary, who is authorized ~
the statehood act to select the new
states lands, in their opinion, could
not exercise the right of eminent
domain, for the reason that the lands
of a territory are under federal con-
troll, and, though the territory might
be able, under existing laws, to take
possession of land for bridge or read
or railroad purposes, 1t still could not
appropriate lands from the reserva-
ton which is to be opened unless
some Of the lands should remain I'M
sold, when it might exercise such
power.
1t has been decided that the reserva-
ton lands will be disposed of ac-
cording TO the act of June 5, provid-
ing for the opening, and without
reference to the statehood act of later
date.
