The snOw-Capped Sisters.

their first visit to the alumnae Of
Lexington Ladies College were
cordially received by the large
number of guests who had as
sembled to meet them at the
college chapel Thursday evening
December 18th.
This interesting family of
twelve girls was duly chaperoned
by their mother, Mistress Snow.
And her maternal pride set forth
the accomplishments of her
daughters in a most entertaining
way.
The first of the sisters to be
introduced was Miss Patti-LindI
Snow, the prima donna, who
rivalled the mocking birds from
whom in their native bower, she
stole their song. Even the NOR
tai remains of the moeking bird
were exhibited. The very bird
who took pizen after the theft

song existence for me.
From the singer down to the
beautiful twins, the double pride
of the Snow family, the pleasant
everyday life of any large family
was amusingly typified.
AS the little twins contended
over their mother Goose Book
in an effort to repeat the
rhymes to the audience they sur
prised their mother by the sub
stitution of tangle of names
and places.

Nez Perces Indians:
''Once the sun fell down from the

sun had meant to roll along on the

To look at Sitting Bull one would say
that he was always quiet and self con-
tained. In fact. he did usually keep
himself under control. but lie was cruel
and almost heartless. He had prac-
ticed cruelty to animals and men from
his childhood and as long as he lived;
he was full Of passion and often very
angry. He was always imperious and
insolent toward our generals. the In
dian agent and other friends of the
great father at Washington. whom he
claimed to hate. He had great talent
and ability to plan campaigns and bat
ties and wonderful influence In bring
ting Indians together. Notwithstand-
ing all this, he was afraid Of death.

victory which the Indians ever gained

TWENTY YACHTS
TO SAIL OCEAN
COrinfhian Clubs Third Annual
Run to Surf City Begins
Friday at Midnight

Never in the history of the yachting
game on San Francisco bay has SO
much interest been taken in any one
race or cruise as that in the Corinthian
yacht clubs annual race from here to
Santa Cruz. At midnight Friday 90
yachts of all varieties of rig and size
will start from off the Fulton basin on
an ebbing tide and make their way to
the surf city as fast as wind and tide
will allow them.
The contestants are to be divided into
six .classes, viz: Sloops-Class 1, SO
feet and over racing length; class 2,
80 to SO feet racing length; class 3,
% to 80 feet racing length; class 4, 25
feet and under racing length; special
yawl class and special schooner class
First and second winners will receive
prize cups, while the yacht making the
fastest time will receive prize and be-
come holder of special cup which ii
must win twice out of three races.
While at Santa Cruz there will be
two races for all the yachts, one on
Monday afternoon, a Is mile handicap
from a Stakeboat off the end of the
pleasure pier down the coast to point
to and around a stakeboat anchored of
AptOS, thence to and around the whist
ling buoy, finishing between the first
above mentioned stakeboat and the END
of pleasure pier. The race on Wednes-
day will be 10 mile handicap. Thurs
day the small boats of the fleet and the
swimmers will be given an opportunity
to distinguish themselves.
The Corinthian club inaugurated the
Santa Cruz race three years ago, when
it was a one class affair. The schooner
Martha carried off the time prize, and
the following year the Ruby was vic
tor the Presto second and Merry Widow
third, the small boats with their great
handicaps proving more than match
for their large opponents. The results
of these former races have caused the
division into classes for this years con-
test The Ruby is not entered, but both
the Presto and Merry Widow will again
be contenders.
The sloop Monsoon of the San Fran
cisco yacht club is also looked upon as
a winner in it's class. George Dinsmore
will sail this speedy sloop, as Commo-
dore Phillips will be unable to make
the trip.
The yawl Olga of the Corinthian club
and the sloop Ariel of the Aeolians are
added starters.
The map of the cruise, as prepared by
Captain G. NJ. Daniels of the revenue
cutter McCulloch, will be issued to the
various yacht owners today.
