Minter'S Beat Beats FEET.

In a race recently held under
the auspices of the Colonial Yacht
Club, Of New York, for a cup
known as the Grandbury Trophy.
The Tub owned by MIR. s. +.
Minter, and we'll known in East
River was the winner. beating the
rest by an hour. Ten boats took
part in the race and tie course.
about o. miles, was covered ty
all of them without accident.
S. L. Winters Tub was the first
boat to finish. The Tubs time
was 3 hours and a. minutes, ami
she finished about an hour ahead
of Mr.. Beers We Go. They
came in in the order named:
Lille s., owned By ii. Sussman;
Rover, owned by l. I. Washburn;
Revilla, owned by G. A. Miner;
Salem, owned by Fleet Captain
Grow; Alpha. ewned by Messrs.
WalliCe and Morrison; Mary NJ,
owned by William Murphy: Vera
c., owned by Rear Commodore
ColweH, and Dreadnaught, owR-
ed by Charles Franklin. Nine Of
the boats finished close together
a remarkably fine showing for
power craft. Not a mishap of
any kind marred the contest.
The bats. gaily decorated with
bunting, and carrying many
women in white yachting COS
tunes, made pretty picture as
they LETT the Gibbs quarters at
One Hundred and Thirty-eight
street and Hudson River at 8
% clock in the morning. The en-
gines got a good preliminary test
on the run down 10 Robins Reef
Light, where the real start was
made at 10 Il. m
The Tub soon showed in front
and was so obviously the fastest
boat in the race that the OTHERS
gave up all notion Of beating her
after the FIRST five miles. The
between trailers proved
exciting al tie way, and the
women passengers enjoyed the
struggle even more than the men
who ran the boats.
While the Tub was first TO FIN
ish, the winner will not be def
nately known for a day or so. 1t
was a handicap contest, conduct
ed under the rules of the Amer
lean Power Boat Association, and
it will take a lot of figuring to be
sure of the winner. The Tub
finished 50 far ahead, however,
it is very probable she has won
the race.

/ The bishop had just landed blue
fish. 1t was a big fish. and before II
was finally hauled into the cockpit OF
the Sally b. 1t had displayed undoubted
qualities of gameness that had warmed
the cookies of the bishops heart
Therefore, as Jim Croker. who al

fished In Sepennessett bay. fiattened
down the sheet and headed the little
catboat for the rips once more there
was seraphic smile on the bishops
intellectual face.
He stood with one foot on the seat,
paying out his line astern, his eyes
taking in delightedly the sparkle and
fash OF the water and the little white
clouds creeping up above the horizon.
Those clouds whispered of smart
breeze later on, and with the wind
day for fish. Anon the bishop turned
to survey his latest catch. and each
time as he did so he gave a little
chuckle of satisfaction.
Suddenly there was a mighty tug at
the line; astern was fash of blue
and silver as the fish leaped from the
water The bishop took a firmer hold
on the line. and his eyes glowed with
excitement
Ease her up bit, jim" he called
to the man at the tiller. Look at the
fellow I've hooked this time. He's the
father of them allr'
So engrossed was the bishop with
his fish that he did not hear the quick
painting of a gasoline engine. nor did
be see the power boat tearing toward
them, sending up twin waves of white
spume at its bow.
Just as the second ashland it was
considerably larger than the first-was

the power boat shot alongside.

Cartilage Above the Heel Counts
Against Heavy Horses.
Look out for side bones on the draf;

consin breeder. Foreign buyers have
been more particular than Americans
on the question of side bones, and IL
is only few years since some of our
best judges in America have been
looking out for side bones at all.
It is said that only a few years ago
judge who has considerable reputa-
ton as horseman In this country was
judging at western state fair An
exhibitor whose horse had been turned
down TO second place objected that the
Judge had put the first prize upon a
horse with side bones. and 1t is said
that the judge went over to the first
prize horse and began 10 feel along his
ribs, and he said, This horse has no
was called down in the same way by
placing the first prize CT horse that
had side bones, and he went TO feeling
for the splints just below the knee on
the inside Of the leg. and he found
none.
The side bone is just above the heel
OF the horse. 1t is mere cartilage IL
Is put into the heel, we believe, TO
give springiness, TO save Inflammation
there when the horse works and trav
els. Now, on low heels and especially
on heavy horses, they put a good deal
Of weight on the heels; they get fever

These carriages harden and become

are bony and hard you have horse
that TO some extent will get sore as

Do not confound this side bone with

Culture Of Tobacco.

The application Of shade and semi
shade TO tobacco plants has worked
considerable of a revolution In this
important crop. In Connecticut by the
use of expensive shading methods II
has been possible TO greatly change the
character OF the crop, while In other
sections by simpler methods of natural
shading important notifications in
type are attained. The department of
agriculture reports a simple corn-to-
bacco planting experiment at the Ken
lucky experiment station, covering
period Of three years, where the tobac-
&C was planted between rows OF corn.
The tobacco was OF finer texture and
brought a higher price. Most soils
which have been cropped TO tobacco
for any length of time are deficient In
vegetable matter. At the same time
commercial fertilizers are necessary in
the production of such a highly spe-
cialized crop as tobacco. but it is only
