Il was no dream. This man really
owned q yacht. True. 1t was q small
boat. but he had always wanted to be a
captain. and In the yachting world an
owner is q captain and entitled TO sport
two foul anchors ON his cap and two
stripes with trefoil on the sleeves Of his

sail out on the deep as far as he dared
in his small boat. could cruise away from
the busy city and forget all Its trials
and tribulations while he battled with
sea and wind. and could then anchor
peacefully in some quiet harbor and
sleep In the small cabin lulled by the
music Of the waves.
He had never imagined. though, how
important man becomes when he owns
a real yacht. This he discovered after
his name appeared In the Yacht Register

OF the last letters received began by say
ing: In the matter Of uniforms for the
crew OF your yacht, IL you have not been
satisfied in the past We would be glad
to furnish estimates" DC
The yachtsman has been doing lots
Of thinking. He has come to the con-
clusion that American business men are
hustlers but that they would save them
selves time and money and owners Of
yachts like his own lots Of trouble IL they
would look a little further than the name

him important. but he found before long
that ne had risen wonderfully In the csti-
nation Of others and soon began 10 get
letters about his yacht. the writer's making
many suggestions.
Ono morning In his mail the yachtsman
found letter, well written and addressed
to him personally. 1t was from the
builder OF marine gasolene motor and
told to what perfection the motor had been
developed. Then it pointed out the ad-
vantages OF having a small motor in
yacht In case it should be becalmed
The yacht should be made an auxiliary,
the letter said. The motor could easily
be installed under the cockpit floor. 1t
could be controlled by the man who was
handling the tiller. The writer asked
that he be allowed to furnieh an estimate
OF the cost Of installing motor in the
New Moon.
All this sounded very nice, but the
yachtsman had been graduated IN the
old school. He was not in favor OF the
modern school Of yachting. which has no
use for sails. He wished to sail as Com
modore Stevens did when he owned the
schooner ana SO & ne Trote S;s to the
gestions 80 kindly made. but declined
for the present to install a motor in the
New Moon.
Not very long after this there was another
letter for the yaohtsman, a personal letter
again, and this time from the manager
OF firm that makes player pianos. This
letter said that George j. Gould, Eugene
Higgins, Col. Oliver H. Payne, Comno-
dore Elbridge T. Gerry, W. K. Wander
bilt and many others had this particular
piano on their yachts. 1t had given great
satisfaction. which the writer could prove
by testimonials.
The letter also said that King Edward,
the Car of Russia. the German Emperor
The sun., 1909-05-30

and other royalties were particularly
pleased with their pianos which did so
much to make life on board their yachts
pleasant. The writer said that under
separate cover he had sent one of his hand :
soInelY illustrated catalogues and had
sls6faken the liberty Of sending q repre-
sehtatsS 70 call on the yashtsman with q
installed on tho New Moon.
This set the yachtsman wondering:
At first he wondered IL the yacht he had
seen named New Moon was really the
New Moon he. was the owner Of. He
refused to believe that piano and engine
builders would make the mistake Of
wanting to equip so small yacht.
Then having assured himself that he
really owned the IS footer he wondered
II il were not possible to have a piano
on board. but by no stretch Of ina agination
could he figure that piano could be
got into his small cabin and even If it
could be placed there it was doubtful
he had 10 tell the agent who called that
he was not in the market for piano.
Another letter was received. This time
ii was from firm which makes speciality
OF china and glass for yachts. This
letter. again addressed personally. said:
Recently We sent you a booklet. An
1psn see. sor dssSbns our x, sHsGs sds

again to direct your attention to the fact
that our broad experience in this par
ticulsr class OF work is at your disposal,
We believe that we are in better posi-
ton than any other house in America to
meet your requirements.
The letter then told Of table service
which bore monograms, crests, signals
or colors and asked that the firm be al
lowed to execute a sample piece without
any cost or obligation to the yachtsman
quoted would compel his interest.
Now this was something like. To have

Naturally the American was proud OF
her bargain and meant to keep it. She
washed 1t carefully and put it in the place
Of honor in her room and wrote long
letters about 1t to America.

his nag and the flag Of his club and the
name New Moon on each piece he realised
would be quite up To date. Then he
realised again the size Of his yacht. He
had no galley and no china closets and
no room to have any built. and so re-
luotantly the idea was given up. ..,,
A stockless anchor was the next thing
offered. and again the yaohtsman was In.

this anchor were described and II was also
explained that 1t was easily handled end
easily slowed away. Later he realized
that a twelve pound anchor attached to
thin rope was all he required and that q
put her bow down to the danger point;

A suggestion that pleased the yachts
man came from firm that wished to equip
the New Moon with an acetylene plant.
This letter told how tank could be IN
stalled In the bow Of the yacht or under
the cabin floor and lights placed SO that
It would be as brilliant as day. AZ an

received and pictures Of heating and

Another firm sent elaborate pictures
Of a vessel that had it's Hobbies. passage

room foored with it's tiling and asked
to be allowed to estimate on fitting the
New Moon. Its advantages, so the letter
said, were many. Its non-slippery
features alono would recommend it's
use on boats, and the straining Of the
decks or vibration will not cause 1t to
break or bulge the letter said.
Following this came suggestion from

Moon. q keel sloop. was built Of wood.
Her dimensions were given as 70 feet
Z inches over all length, Is feet 8 inches
on tho water line. q feet inches beam
and 4 feet 10 inches draught. and then
followed In one column the nSme6 of the
desi&ner and the builder. In, another
the name OF the owner. and then came
the home port and a column for the clubs
to which tho owner belonged
All this seemed very fine to the owner.
and he paid Se for a copy Of the register
that be might see the record and also
study the names Of those who were in
his company In the book.
Now a yacht IS feet long on the water
line does not have much room This par
ticular craft was built for racing and so
has been made rather small. Still the
New Moon had cabin. The rules under
which she was built required this,
The cabin was feet Q inches long. feet
inches high and had two transoms or
seats which were twenty inches wide, and
between these two transoms was space
about IS inches wide, which made the
total area Of the floor 0 square feet By
doubling up you could get into this cabin
IL not too tall. but care had to be taken
in moving about in the cabin. Even when
sitting on a transom your head was very
close to the deck beams and little for
getfulness might cause some soreness.
The owner looked with pride at the
yacht and frequently visited the yard
where it was laid up to see that no harm
came to il. Ho planned to have the yacht
overhauled and painted white and looked
forward 10 the season.
As has been said. he had never dreamed
that the ownership OF yacht would make

A CASE AT A CLUB.

The manner in which those who make
business OF detecting amateur card
sharpers proceed with their Investigations
is simple. The secret of their success
depends OF course upon the fact that
none but those who employ them suspects
their business.
A case which occurred in New York some
years ago will illustrate the method
The committee Of a certain club in which
whist, skat and hearts were very popu-
lar games heard certain rumors about
one Of the members who was particu-
lsrly lucky in finding wenzels in the skst
when he dealt in three hand game, and
arrays held the deuce, trey and four when
he was playing hearts,
This man was apparently above suspi-
cion, being connected with one Of the big
colleges and belonging TO several good
clubs. He may be called DR.. Fox.
Amember Of the committee invited Mr..
Buskirk 10 dine at the club and after din
ner took him into the card room TO play.
Nothing was said TO Mr., Buskirk as to
which man was under suspicion. He was
not even told whether the man was in the
card room at the time.
AL ho was asked TO do was 10 tell the
The sun., 1909-05-30

for his absence the others seem TO have
got an inkling that there was something
wrong and the game broke up.
The suspected man Is still a member
Of some Of the best clubs. In which he
plays bridge regularly. but with absolute
fairness. Probably he learned his lesson.
which is something few society card
sharpers do.
