MILE A MINUTE BOAT,
New York Speed Cranks Building
Fast Water Craft

| NEW YORK, Aug. %, New Yorl
lautoists, not content with speed re
cord OF two miles minute on land
are now out for one OF d mile min
ute on water, In this ambition !,
found the very latest millionaire fad
for expensive speed Tor while it's true
that The speed attainable on land Is
more than twice that which has been
accomplished on water, New Workers
are likely TO take to the latter both
because it is more costly and on ac-
count OF the greater chance Of making
name as aquatic speed kings The re-
cent races between American and En-
glish motor boats, in which the for
mer achieved another victory over
Great Britain with worlds record
for forty foot boat OF more than thir-
.ty-hve miles an hour, has given ad-
ded impetus to motor boat rieing here.
Already more than 10000 persons
come to their offices in Manhattan dai-
ly in motor boats which can make
more than twenty-five miles an hour
and in this fact may be. found a rea-
son for Americas recent triumphs ov-
er England in this class OF sport in
keeping with the victories over Sir
Thomas Upton in his contests for
Americas cup, While everything in
this country, so far as motor boats
are concerned, has to do with speed,
the tendency in Europe, according to
Henry c. Rowland, himself pioneer
motor boatist, who is contributing to
Appleton's magazine an account OF
one OF the longest voyages OF this
sort ever undertaken is toward a slow,
er cruising boat DR.. Rowland whose
voyage OF over 1000 miles extended
entirely across Europe attributes A.
merica's speed supremacy to her lack
Of long inland courses suitable to mo-
tor boat cruising. While it may be
true that America may not have the
beauties of the Rhine, the Rhone and
the Danube which the Appleton ar
ticles describe, it seems safe to predict
that New York's millionaires now
seized with the water speed fever will
shortly be building motor boats ca
pable of making sixty miles an hour.
Such toys, however, will be the toys
OF the wealthy few, since it is figured
that for boat OF this sort the cost
would be $4,000 mile, making it the
most expensive speed medium in the
world.

Wood Causes a Crush.

Wood, of the Weston Leader, came
over Saturday evening and as usual,
stumbled up against metropolitan in
cident. In common with other cities
of consequence. where COWS are not
allowed pasturage in the streets or
teams hitched to sidewalks. Athena's
police force see to it that every body
"moves on" and as result, Athena's
business thoroughfare il rarely blocked
and it is seldom that a "crush" oc-
ours. The colonel. always on the
half shell, stopped his team on a Main
street crossing. OF course there was
instantly congestion of teams and Pc
destrians, and in the attendant mael-
strom Of confusion, the urEane Weston
pencil shower seeing be was the center
piece of the crowd, lifted the best hat
be ever wore and was about to thank
everybody for the mark of recognition
given him, when he was brought to
earth by the thund erous roar of "move
on." How be eluded the police and
got out Of town is another story.

ST. VALENTINES DAY OBSERVED
Party Given at Masonic Hall Was
Event of the Season.

The Valentine party given at Ma
sonic hall last Friday night Ey several
ladies of this city, was voted to be the
most pleasant function of the kind that
has occurred this season. The hall
was appropriately decorated in festoons
of hearts, which draped ceiling and
walls.
The young people to the number of
about one hundred, were met and well
coined by the reception committee and
when seated were treated to music fur
nished by the Pinkerton orchestra,
composed of two young ladies and two
young gentlemen.
After the music, cards in the shape
of hearts were distributed, cut in the
center, each part bearing the half of
sentimental quotation. When matched
these indicated partners for the eve-
ming, the first lady matching her half
with that Of gentleman, receiving
handsome valentine as prize. Miss
Katie Maloney was the successful con-
testant in this case.
An instrumental duet by Misses
Della Danner and Irene Dudley was
next on the program and then followed
a tMusical Reverie. The reverie
was read, in which occurred many
titles of popular and familiar songs,
the music being played instead of the
words being read. Paper and pencils
had been distributed and each guest
was required to write titles of songs
he recognized, Miss Maloney again
winning in this contest, the prize be-
ing beautiful heart shaped box filed
with bonpons.
The guests we're then entertained
with song sung by four young gentle
men. Maurice Hill, Clarence Brother
ton, Hugh Lieualleu and Walter Judy,
who responded to hearty encore.
Miss Proctor, young lady guest of the
Misses McEwen, from Pendleton
Academy, favored the company with
a recitation, and then followed the
| archery contest.
A large heart shaped target was
erected at one end of the hall, ar
ranged in significant colors. Each
guest was allowed a shot with the
bow and arrow, and the color hit in
dlcated the good or bad fortune of the
bowman. Ray Hansell proved bis
prowess with cupid's weapon by hit
ting nearest the center of the target,
and was also awarded luscious box
of bonbons.
Music followed, rendered by the
johnson orchestra, and lunch was then
served. sandwiches, cake and cocoa
being the refreshments.
After lunch all enjoyed old fashion
ed games, and the evenings pleasure
was closed with another selection by
the Pinkerton orchestra.
