ing the, Royal Motor Yacht Club of
England, sailed from America with the
British International trophy recently
won by the Maple Leaf ". the Motor
boat Club of America hsd challenged
for Il series of races for the trophy
and the Royal Motor Yacht club had
tentatively set dates about the middle
of next August for the races, which
will be held ON Southampton water.
England These dates follow Cowes
week and they We're arranged in order
that the visiting American yachtsmen
could witness the best yacht racing in
British waters.
The Motorboat Club of America is
much encouraged at the prospect of
there being several boats built to try
to make the American team. Invita-
tons are extended to all motor boat
enthusiasts to build boats to take part
in the trial races, which are to be held
for the purpose of selecting the three
fastest boats to send to England
These trials will be held some time
during the first two weeks of July.
1t will be necessary to ship the boats
about July 10 to get them to the 9th
er side in time to be tuned up for
the races there. The Motorboat club
will limit the trials exclusively to
boats whose owners are willing. if
they are accepted. to send them to
England This will be done in order
that they may have fair trials and the
owners will be asked TO sign an agree
ment to send them abroad If they
prove fast enough. There are no limi-
tations to boats allowed in this race,
except that they must not exceed forty
feet in length

London Trottina Club.

vailing In the United States, the Lon
don Trotting club has been organized
Although the number of trotting meet
fngs In the United Kindom has never
been large some of them have given
the sport an unsavory reputation by
indulging in practices which have
been practically banned from Ameri-
can tracks. Even the professional
racing for stakes does not furnish race
records comparable with matinee rae
ing in America, and the projectors of
the new club are as anxious to raise
this standard as they are to make the
racing clean.
The club has adopted many of the
latest rules in light harness racing

AMERICAN POSTCARDS.
Government Sells Almost Billion =
Year of the Four Kinds In USE

Year of the Four Kinds In USE
Few persons realize that the United
States government annually sells al
most LOCO, 000, 600 postal cards, weigh
ing approximately 100000 pounds,
nor is it generally known that there
are four different kinds of cards in use.
They are the Mckinley card-'-the one
best known-printed in red; the George
and Martha Washington reply cards.
with the head of Martha Washington
on the reply section; the two cent in
ternational card which bears Grants
head, and the Lincoln which is
made slightly smaller than the Nc
Kinley card SO as to fit any standard
card index.
To fill the country's enormous de-
mand for these various cards the pos
tai card printing plant in Washing
ton, d. O., turns out an average of
$500, 900 cards each working day. The
daily output is regulated by the daily
consumption and at times the COM
paratively small force in this office has
to turn out 5000, 900 cards in one day.
This, however, does not happen often
If the total yearly output of govern
ment postal cards were to be stored
in one huge building 100000 cubic feet
would be required and If laid end to
end In a line the billion cards would
stretch around the earth more than
three times.
In spite of the huge output only
twenty persons are needed in the
printing Office, says the New York Sun.
So small a force would not be pos
sible II the machines were not two
highly developed automatic mech
anisms.
Previous to three years ago all the
government post cards were printed
by contractors. Since taking up the
printing of his own cards Uncle Sam
has saved money. At the same time
the people of this country are saving
millions of dollars which they would
be required to spend If post cards were
not an institution of the postal sys-
tenn.
