the New Jersey governor would sweep
the convention today and secure the

There was renewed talk of MIR. Bryan
himself as the nominee today, some
OF the so-called conservatives being
quoted as saying that so long aN the
name of a progressive seemed in
evitable. 1t might be just as we'll to
have Mr.. Bryan lead the fight for Il
fourth time. Some of Mr.. Bryan's
friends indicated that the Nebraskan
apparently was content with the posi-
tion he now occupies In the conven-
tion. the right to name the candidate
being all but conceded to him.
supporters of Champ Clark were
claiming the nomination with as much
outward confidence as ever as they
gathered for the days session.
"Dark-horse" talk died away little
today and while many candidates were
mentioned there appeared to be IA con-
sensus of opinion that the fight lay
among the supporters OF Wilson,
Clark and Bryan. Mr.. Bryan had not
committed himself on the question of
the presidency In any way up to tine

CANT talk Is heard all over the country
regarding what will be done during the
coming season, both in base ball and
boating but the most conservative person
will admit that continuous speed of fifty
miles an hour should be attained, if not
exceeded, when the correct dope sheet
is perused Motor boats have beaten the
best known speed ever attained by an ice
yacht, which, by the way, is laid to the
credit of the Wolverine at Kalamazoo,
Mich, in 1907, when she sailed twenty
nine miles in 80 minutes 80 seconds. The
Dixie w, at Huntington last summer,
travelled at the rate Of 1922 miles an hour
for six separate miles, which is trifle
better than a mile in l minute 20 seconds,

A code of signals has been adopted by
the Eastern Club that will be used during
the coming summer. They are an adap-
tation OF private code originated by the
Erie Power Boat Club of New York, and
members of the local organization are en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of such a
simple means of communication both by
day and night.
The night signals are made by various
boat in the club is given a number, such
as Florence, 10; Skybo, II, ETC., and when
passing other boats at night they give
the usual salute of three whistles, fol-
lowed by blasts making known their iden-
tity. The other boat. If owned by a men,
Der Of the club, will reply by blowing her
number, which, should it be Ii, would be
made by blowing one blast, then pause,
and then three short blasts.
The signal for help is made at night by
blowing four short blasts During the
day the following pennants are used

This code is a simple one to become IA
miliar with, and one that has many posi-
bilities should it be desired to fly other

of such a code seldom considered by the
average man. When one gets into the
