national trophy, defeating the Ankle
Deep, Baby Reliance ii and Baby Re
lance III at Huntington.
The Motor Boat Club of America at
once challenged for "a race this year
and will send three fast boats to race
in the Solent against the British de-
tenders.
France has challenged and it is eN-
pccted that other countries will be
represented i'm this international con-
test. The trophy is emblematic of the
championship of the world. The Ma
pie Leaf ~ was not at her best while
in these waters, owing TO a broken
defeat the defenders.
After returning to home waters the
Maple Leaf w was repaired and in
six runs over the measured mile
course averaged better than IL naut-
zeal or SO statute miles an hour. This
men have to aim for to be successful
IN the coming races.
f.. Mackay Edgar arrived here last
week for short visit To this coun-
try and Canada, says the Detroit
journal He is the owner of the Maple
Leaf ". Talking of the coming races
he said he expected this country
would be successful, as only one new
boat was being built on the other side
which would race with the Maple
Leaf ". For the challongers he said
Commodore j. Stuart Blackton has or
dored new boat giving the builders
carte blanche, and that a. Miles Ora
ham was also having a fast one built.
There are others too and il is expect
ed that the mile-a- minute boat will
be an assured fact this year.

fiagellate their bodies and preach pri-

and so was his request, the ruler OF

Dead Grass; Live Children.

With such men as Vincent Aston say

1T Is far better to have dead grass
in the parks than dead children in the
tenements."
This was Vincent Astor's terse reply
to criticisms of use of Central park
green's by the public. Letters contain
ing protests were received by Park
Commissioner Slower after the drill
and games of 10000 schoeiboys ten days
ago.
THE parks are for the benefit of the
people, after ALL" he said. and the
boys had perfect right To use the
green. BY giving schoolboys greater
liking for outdoor exercise the league
is making drinking, smoking, and 9TH
er habits less attractive
These things have been said by
.ramrodders" and 'reformers" ever
since parks We're recognized as neces-
sary in cities, yet only the other day a
poor woman who sat on the grass OF
Boston Common was rudely handled,
it is said, by policeman who arrested
her for the offense.
But now Millionaire who is a social
star of the upmty-nmpth magnitude

Colonel Goethals to Stay.

1t is with approval and general sat
isfaction that the public hears Colonel
Goethals is to be retained in supreme
control of the work on the Panae1a
canal by the present administration.
From good authority comes the assur-
ance that the famous war engineer has
the full confidence of President Wilson
and the secretary of war.
Perhaps no act of the present adj
ministration could have gone farther
toward prejudicing the minds of the
create mass of American people, than
would have mere partisan removal of
the man who was TOO big TO be ap-
preached by great railway or other in
terests, and whose competence and
LOYALTY have been demonstrated in
thousand ways. President Wilson is
to be congratulated upon his under
standing and appreciation of the popu-
lar desire that Col. Goethals remain
the head of the great canal enterprise
until his splendid work is completed.
Another cause for public congratu-
lation is the reiteration that the canal
will be so far completed by the first oil
next December, that were it advisable
from any arising necessity, as TO send
the entire Atlantic fleet through the
canal to the Pacific.
In the meantime, the emplacements
for the big guns which are to defend
the canal and its approaches have al
ready been completed in accordance
with the plans long ago mapped out.
Colonel Goethals declares that in tax
ing steps to expedite the work on the
Canal he has had no possibility of for
eign complications in mind. 1t is none
the less gratifying to realize that II
the Canal is coveted by any foreign
Power there is mighty little time left
to organize successful expedition
against 1t.
