coBBossEEcoNTEE YACHT CLUB.
Yachting Events at the Lake for July
and August.

The sail boat races will take place at
Manchester bay over the usual course,
July % and Aug. II and IS, at 2.3O p.
M. Certain changes in the ownership
and alterations in the rig of boats
will add greatly to the interest in these
races this season. s3-
4 new feature of the launch races
this year will be contest between
the so-ca!led Morris Heights launches,
of which type there are seven.
Three prizes for this race have been
presented to the club and lively bout
is anticipated. This race will occur on
Friday, July "a. at o'clock.
The regular launch races OF the club
also bid fair to be unusually attractive
as a great number of new boats, both
large and small, have been added to
the feet representing several of the
largest manufacturers in the country;
also showing what home industry, To-
cal engine builders and amateur
workmen can do and great eagerness
is manifested to discover their rela-
tive capacity.
Great interest is felt among the own
ers of small boats also this year oW-
ing to the fact that a new rule OF
measurement and classification has
been adopted by the regatta commit
tee, after much discussion, which
places them upon a more even footing
than heretofore and which will add
much to the spectacular effect, as
small boats will be seen contendins
against large ones and craft of vary
ing models will be arranged against
fbic rl11p oil hn9 rs
arc required to run over a measured
course, their time being carefully not
ed by a committee, and upon the speed
thus shown will the classification and
handicapring be made. TO guard
against error or a suspicion of unfair
ness, a clause is added to this rule
providing that in case a boat at the
final race shows a rate of speed in eX-
cess of that exhibited at the trial con-
test by certain per cent, she Will be
dcbarred from the race or compelled
to submit to a penalty lowering her &C
tual time. Many English yacht clubs
ard some in this country, have adopt
ed a rule similar to this which is said
to have worked out very satisfactory
Nv. There are now about 1875 launches
on the lake and the committee has as
signed two days for these races, Aug
| IA and Is, at 2.3O P NJ. Glasses l and
probably will race on the 14th anC
| Glasses , and on the 18th. Prizes vii
be awarded as usual. iF'''
A sweepstakes race, open to all boats
of the club, will be sailed Aug. Il al
8 p NJ.
The annual parade, which creates
probably the greatest interest, as it is
participated in by the ladies, will oc
cur at East Winthrop bay, near the
summer home of Capt. M. w. Wiswell
chairman of the parade committee, OF
Saturday afternoon, Aug. 20, at
! o'clock.

British America Indians.

A French titled lady made a trip
chat took her 1000 miles hey md civili-
zatiOn in the far northern districts of
British America. She went forth &C
companied by only two Indian guides
and penetrated to the siXtieth parallel,
riding astride, tramping, padding in
light canoes, floating down treacher-
Gus, rock picketed rapids in clumsy
native barges and for one period Of
two weeks seeing no human being eX-
cept her two Indian servants. The
Indians in that region are very super
stitiOus, very ungrateful, very indie
pendent, but very honest. l invited a
ief to have luncheon with me. He
refused. To eat in company with
woman would degrade him. He would
lose caste with his tribe. In another
part of the country I had some In
dams and their squawS on an eXpedi-
ton. But the Indians would not per-
nit me to shoot any game. One of the
traditions of the tribe, left by some old
medicine man long since dead, was
that if a woman were ever permitted
to shoot moose or elk game would be-
come scarce and the squaws would be-
come powerful and master the men.
offered them $40 for every shot I
might make, but money was no in.

MEETING A CROCODILE.
The Animal and the Hunters Were All
Taken by Surprise,

While looking for hippopotamus it
was the fortune Of the author Of
uganda to Khartum" to encounter a
crocodile under somewhat unusual cir
cumstances. He was following a fresh
track leading through the dense under
growth from the lake inland. Two
men accompanied him, one carrying
his camera and the other his second
gun. While he shouldered his rifle.
Suddenly | heard a rustling noise in
front OF me and realized that some
creature was approaching, but whSa?
1t could not be the hippo, because there
was no thunderous tread, but l had no
time to think, for the creature, what
ever it might be, was upon me in Sec
ond.
At two yards l discovered what it
was--an immense crocodile more than
twelve feet long.
I was right in its path, and there was
no possible escape on either side. so I
stood still with my rifle at shoulder
and waited. The crock did not wait,
however, and in some remarkable way
it hustled me to one SIDE almost knock
ed me over and endeavored to make his
way to the water.
To dispute his right of way would
have been folly. l realized only hor-
rible, soft, wriggling mass pressing
against my legs in a most sickening
way. Why he did not bite me do not
know. At first thought he had done
SO as he brushed against my leg, but
found it was only his horny scales that
scraped my shin. And he was more
taken by surprise than l was and for
got all about his huge jaw and the
! lasting impression he might have made
upon my legs.
! After he had passed l turned to see
| how the men would fare. One had got
back to the shore and so was no longer
In view The other man with the cam
era was the funniest sight. His head
was stuck fast in the thick brambles,
and his legs were in the air, the cam.
era of course in the mud beside him.
do not think the "crock" could have
seen him, for he had literally taken q
header into the bush, and his legs were
far above the crocodile's jaws.
