ROCHESTER,, N. y. August To-
The Rochester Yacht CHS defender
Seneca this afternoon defeated the
ROYAL Canadian Yacht Clubs chal-
slenger Adele In the first ofathe series
Of races for the Canada's cup. The
Adele was no match for the American
boat In the light breeze, which at no
time was stronger than nine miles,
frequently dying down to three miles.
In the last hour Of the contest the
wind diminished to mere zephyrs. SO
that the last half Of the home leg
was really a drifting match. When
the Seneca managed to creep over the
line, the Adele was about one mile in
the rear and did not finish.
To-day's race for the Canada's cur
was made possible by the courtesy OF
the Canadian yachtsmen In overlook

THE ONE THING LACKING.
An artist was talking about the late
Walter Appleton Clark, who died at
the beginning of his artistic career.
and Clark he said, had a strong
sense of humor. I remember going
through a millionaire's stable with
him one day.
You know what a millionaire
stables nowadays are like-foors and
walls of translucent white tiles, drink
ing fountains of marble, mahogany
managers, silver trimmings, and so
forth and so on.

Clark, except a sofa for each horse -

Jackson he said, married one af-
