with Capt. Joe Fellows on the Chill Pepper
one who deserves much credit is Capt Nick
Stewart. ex-eommodore OF the CLUB VINO nan
died the stick on the Doris, which was out

no time to get the boat in shape for the
races The hull Of the boat had not been
creased and she had a suit OF sails that were
Intended for a canoe instead OF a dory. yet
she made a credltable showing against all the

The day was ideal the wind was Hight in
the first half mile OF the race, but strength

EUROPEAN CITY POPULATION.
Race Mixtures Proving a Force for
Destruction.

Or. Albert Alleman, in the Popular Science
Monthly.
Another cause OF the rapid extinction
Of the city population lies in the very
mixture OF SO many races. There is
biological law that hy7brids do not tend
to reproduce their kind. The fecundity
of such mixed population is appre-
Gladly lower than that OF a pure race.
Lapouge found that in those regions OF
France where the brachycephalic Alpine
race was preserved IN comparative purity
the birth rate is much higher than in the
districts where the race is greatly mixed
with Teutonic blood. in the latter re-
sions the birth rate is actually decreas-
Ing. It is evident that the lower classes,
living under less favorable conditions
than the wcll-tn-do. are more subject to
rapid extinction. But the higher classes
are not EXEMPT from this iron law. Va
rioiis causes are mentioned for this fact
Marriages are contracted much later in
life among the wealthy. and as a rule
they have fewer children. The intellectual
life seems to be unfavorable to the fe-
cundity Of women. Race suicide is more
common among the higher classes. 1t is
hardly necessary to mention that families
of an extremely healthy stock and living
under the most favorable conditions are
able to continue their existence a much
longer time. The remarkable vitality of
the British aristocracy is due to their
athletic habits and to the fact that they
spend the greater part of the year on
their estates in tho country. Ammon
holds that the aristocratic classes OF the
continent have favorable prospects to
perpetuate their family names only IL
they live on their estates and devote
themselves to agriculture and the chase"
