and all hands return home via the r., r.

The time Of high water at Washing
ton for the following week, beginning
today, is as follows:

The cruising motor boat Romania,
twenty-five tons register. which was on
her way across the Atlantic ovean, struck
on Chebogue point, near Yarmouth, at IL
o'clock on the night Of July "a, and is a
total loss. The crew and some Of their
effects were saved The navigator lost
his way in the strong southern storm
which caused excessive indraft into the
Bay of Fundy. No observation had been
possible for some time
She was fifty feet long, twelve feet
beam, five feet draft and had a motor of
I5 horsepower. She had on board 500
gallons of gasoline, which was thought
to be sufficient to take her across the
Atlantic from Yarmouth to Queenstown
and Capt. Weller thought he would make
that part of the voyage in fourteen days.
A model of the yacht was exhibited at
the last New York motor boat show.
She was stanchly built and able to with
stand rough weather.

craft has yet to show sufficient class to
make Dixie open up.
The boat apparently makes better
time with but two engines open than
she does with all four. and though her
actual speed has not been ascertained
1t is greatly feared by all interested
in the outfit because of her being
built in Washington that she will not
come UP to expectations
Nevertheless, Stuart Blacl,ton, her
owner, is wished all kinds of luck.
The revenue cutter Apache. which has
been stationed at Washington for sew
eral weeks, sent out a small boat in
charge of an officer one day last week
Whether any fines were collected for
neglect of proper equipment is not
known. but one outfit with about thirty
workmen aboard was held up and three
small -eaten life preservers
found. where one should have been
provided for each passenger.
The committee Of the Motor Boat
Club OF America has announced that
from Huntington bay Saturday, Sep
tember 3. This race was postponed
from June because some owners were
not ready to start at that time. The
pOSCpOnement or the run was thought
by many to spell the end of Bermuda
racing, but 1t now seems that few
yachtsmen will try 1t again.

after very successful voyage across

large number of tourist Americans
gathered on the banks Of the Tiber to
welcome Capt. Day and his little boat,
and the King of Italy dispatched a
warship to meet him when he was re-
ported passing Gibraltar
capt. Day tried to interest Yankee
yachtsmen in a race for small boats
from this country to Rome, but falling,
took the trip to show that it could be
done. 1t was impossible to appreciate
the size of the Sea Bird except by
comparison to some we'll known boat.
The yawl Ventura of the Baltimore
Yacht Club Is well known to local
yachtsmen as one of the most success
full boats on the bay. and as near as
the writer can determine she and the
Sea Bird are as Identical as sister ships
except of course, the Baltimore craft
Is rigged for racing and constructed
for cruising on inland waters
Their underbodies are the same, both
being built on the dead-rise lines, but
having deep fms, and though the local
boat may carry a bit more canvas her
sail plan is similar.

Of French and Spanish. He spent
two years at Princeton and was grad
uated from that old institution in the
year 1919. He spent three years in
| travel and in study in German univer-
stiles and completed the scholastic
education of perhaps the most famous
teacher of Greek, and the oldest pro
lessor of any university in the world
At the beginning of the Civil War
he was in the University of Virginia,
but went into the war on the staff of
General Lee, and later became at
tached to the staff of General John
B. Gordon. At the close of the war he
returned to the University of Vir-
ginia, whre he remained until in 1876,
when he accepted the chair of Greek
in Johns Hopkins University, where he
has since remained and in which he
is still doing active work. During the
war he was severely wounded and
confined for five months; but it may
be assumed that good health must
have been with him in all the years of
his long life.
He is the only American who has
been honored at one and the same time

In talking on the anniversary day of

in the days of his young manhood he
aspired to a position in the country's
