The Bayside Yacht Club wound up the
racing season on Long Island Sound yes
terday with a record number of starters
IN their first annual regatta. Flty-one
yachts in twelve classes crossed the
starting line off Execution Light, and all
except two of them finished. which is OF
itself a record. for thirty-four of the
starters were less than twenty-five feet
long. and a fresh east-northeast breeze
had kicked up quite an ugly sea for
small craft.
About as plucky an exhibition as has
heen seen this summer was the racing OF
the little butterfly" class by their own
ers over a short course. Some OF them
returned half full.of water, but with their
shippers undaunted. A. n. Stollwercks

SEQ portent In Fall Of Rock.

Argentina's greatest natural wonder,
which attracted visitors from great
distances, is now gone. This was the
famous rocking stone at Tandil. In the
province of Buenos Ayres. The huge
rock was poised on the edge of a
cliff so delicately that a person could
easily cause it to oscillate by pushing
against 1t. Even the strong winds
that blew from the pampas would
cause it to move perceptibly. Never
theless, according to a tradition, at
once time Senior Ross, a much-hated
Spanish governor, tried with a team
of 60 oxen to pull it over without
succeeding. 1t had been predicted
that when the rock of Tandil fell 1t
would mean new glory to the Spanish,
and he wanted to help history on a
little. Now it has really fallen, and
the cause of its fall is a matter of
much argument.

OLDER THAN CHRISTIAN ERA
In Brittany There Exists a Huge Black
Stone Image Of Woman,
Pagan Relic.

One Of the most curious relics Of
'paganism remaining in a Christian
country is the gigantic black stone fig-
ure Of woman which is to be seen in
forest of the district of Morblhan In
brittany.
II Is known as the BLACK Venus"
but probably dates farther back than
the time when the Greeks and Romans
worshiped that goddess. Antiquaries
assert that this figure belongs to
the age OF the serpent worshipers,
one OF whose subterrGntan temples Is
In the neighborhood. This would make
the figure far older than the Christian
era.
The statue is that Of a huge, un-
couth woman, with a sullen, angry
countenance, her form enveloped In a
loose mantle. The superstitious Bre-
tons have always worshiped the fig
ure, asserting that 1t has power over
the weather aud the crops. If the
Idol is neglected they declare that
the grain dies on the ear, and If the
anger Of the black woman" over Nor
bihan-
Twice the stone was cast into the
sea by pious folk, who hoped thereby
to put an end to this idolatry. and
twice the peasants dragged it back
and set 1t up in it's old place.
Some 200 years ago Count Pierre
de Lannion, on whose estate the fig
,ure stood, in order to save the statue
from both friends and enemies, drag
ged 1t by 40 yoke of oxen to his own
chauteau and set it up in the court
yard. He cut an inscription on the
base OF the pedestal, declaring the fig
ure to be a Venus, carved by Caesars
soldiers.-Harper's Weekly.
