TO CONSIDER RULES
FOR RACING DORlES
Association VIII Discuss Feasibility of
Maintaining Uniform Conditions
for One Class Contesting
Boats

Summons were sent yesterday to all
members of Dory association of the
South Coast Yacht club, asking the
shippers of the various dories to meet
with the regatta committee at the
locker house, Terminal island, this
morning at $50 o'clock
The object of the meeting is to dis
cuss the future policy of the associa-
ton in regard to maintaining uniform
rules for one-class racing boat. There
have been frequent complaints against
various boats for various reasons, and
much dissension among shippers has
marred the placidity of the winter
sport. The regatta committee has had
its hands full settling protests filed
with it.
At today's meeting the various causes
for dissension will be considered and a
future policy determined.

walkover, although many Of them have
been learning new tricks and are in
better form than ever.

popular selections while the race is in
progress.

Castro, who, while president OF venezuela oiteh
tried, in the wrong way, to do the right thlng Ior
his country, attempted to break up this vast
smuggling conspiracy. But his EFFORTS resulted
only in precipitating a bitter quarrel with Hol-
land that barely missed becoming a real war, and
in fastening his own downfall. His successor
backed down as gracefully as possible, and much
of Venezuela's imports are still being trans
shipped at Willemstad.
One other industry has Curacao that Is of espe-
cial moment to her neighbors of the mainland.
That is the manufacture of revolutions. The
island is a favorite refuge for deposed presidents,
defeated revolutionists and other refugees. They
may always be found in the clean little cafes OF
the capital, concocting plots to regain lost power
and awaiting the psychological moment" for
starting a new rising of the people against the
'tyrants." These patriots are always ready to
talk volubly of their hopes and plans. and so VIII.
lemstad has become the great distributing point
for sensational and unreliable news concerning
our volatile sister republics.
Curacao really is the top of an almost sub
merged volcano, like many other islands of the
West Indies, and lies almost within sight of the
coast of Venezuela. For many months at a
stretch not a d-op of rain falls there, and the
whole island looks like a big bare brown and gray
rock. Then comes a wet week, and grass and
shrubbery spring up as by magic and clothe hill
and valley In a mantle of green. But 1t Is only
grass and shrubbery, for there is not a tree on
the island more than ten feet in height. The an
cient crater has become a large. beautiful lake Of
irregular outline, known as the Schoolgirl. This
connects with the sea by the stream" which
flows through a break in the craters rim. The
stream is Willemstads harbor, but the larger
steamers have to go into the Schottegat to turn
around. On both sides of the stream Is built the
quaint city. which looks MS II it,had been brought

is accepted, and this would put the
election up to within a few days of

back to the stream again.
Marvellous is the equipment of this Runway. Il
consists of one small bobtail car with seating ca
pacity for about six persons and no straps, and
one weary, detected little donkey. When the car
reaches the end of it's run the motive power stands
on three legs and goes to sleep. The car cannot
start back until he wakes up, and Willemstad's
perpetual traction problem is How long Will the
donkey sleep this timer" 1t would be a most
annoying problem If anyone cared, but no one to
whom time Is an object ever uses the tramcar
anyway.
Dutch architecture, somewhat modified to suit
tropical conditions, prevails in Willemstad. The
business buildings are large and not unattractive.
the public structures are decidedly picturesque, and
many of the residences are very handsome. The
merchants as a rule are wealthy and, as has been
intimated, are not lacking in enterprise. 1t is only
fair to say that many of them confne their activi-
ties to business that is above suspicion. The port
is an important transshipping point for trade in
the Caribbean. Its business men are wondering
just how the opening Of the Panama canal will az
feet their prosperity.
Though Curacao is a Dutch colony, and has been
for centuries, the visitor will find few Dutchmen
there; the population is almost wholly negro and
the merchants nearly all Jews. AS for language,
you may have your choice. Address the almost
naked lad sitting on the dock ready to dive for
pennies, in Dutch, Spanish, English or French, and
he will reply in kind-with a request for money.
Speak to him in '~papaimiento' and he will take
you to his brown bosom. Papaimiento-literally
the talk we TALKS the ordinary language of the
common people and is a curious compound of the
several tongues named, together with African and
Indian. 1t is like all and yet strangely unlike any
of them.
The tourist landing on Curacao for the first time
naturally expects to be confronted at every turn by
bottles of the liqueur to which the island has given
its name, but he is disappointed. 1t is there. of
course, and for sale, but 1t is not obtruded on the
p~asserby. The small bitter orange from which 1t
is made is grown on the island, but the liqueur Is
not manufactured there and never has been. It Is
a product of Europe. Gold fligree work, hampers,
inlaid caskets are offered tourists.
Altogether, though the ordinary sights of Gu.
racao may be exhausted in day, 1t is well worth
a longer visit by the ~leisprely traveller, and he Twill
find the inhabitants most hospitable. With its riot
of color, its far oyerreaching caves, its long
wrought iron lsign-posts. its quaint forts and
crooked streets, it's waterways and boats and gayly
clad people, Willemstad should be a paradise for
painters.
The pirates who infest Curacao nowadays
prey only on governments.

its harborlake these bloody sea-rovers sailed with
rich cargoes captured from the Inflated merchant
men that had fallen into their hands and the
stores Of gold and goods from plundered cities
on the mainland. The place was safe from all
pursuers and there the pirates divided their spoils
and reftted for new raids. But in all the chron-
icles of the buccaneers there is little mention Of
Curacao, and no record of it's ever having been
attacked by them. From 1884, when the Holland
ers apparently found it without an owner, the
island was a Dutch possession. Thrifty merchants
settled there, and it requires no stretch of the
imagination to suppose that their immunity from
raids was due to the excellent facilities they af-
forded the pirates for disposing of loot. The cities
of the mainland and of a dozen islands of the
Caribbean were repeatedly ravaged and burned
and the inhabitants subjected to torture and mas
sacre. But Curacao was unmolested, save for two
Intellectual expeditions for its capture organized by
the Spanish during European wars.
And the Curacao of to-day?A Well, 1t hasn't
changed greatly, save to accommodate itself to
latter-dsy conditions. Rich cargoes still are I'M
loaded at its wharves, but they are sent there in
steamers by the merchants of Europe and Ameri-
ca. Sober, peaceful Dutch Jews take the mer-
chandise In hand, and a little later much of 1t is
loaded into sloops and schooners which sail away
for the mainland Of ~Latin-America. Still later
this same merchandise appears for sale on the
counters vf merchants in the cities of Colombia,
Venezuela and Central America, at prices that
preclude the supposition that It has passed through
the custom houses and paid the heavy import du-
ties that are imposed in those countries.
In a word, Curacao has become the headquar-
tiers for the smugglers of the Caribbean. Little
IL heard of this, for silence best serves the pur-
poses of most of those concerned. A hint at the
truth b met with the indignant denial Of the
shrewd folk Of willemstad. But the fact IL we'll
