Political Opinions.
From the London Telegraph.

LAS rule the son of twenty years to-
day holds political opinions little in adj
vance of those of his father. At thirty
he generally adopts the politics of his
grandfather, and at forty the politics of
his great-grandfather. AT fifty he has
nothing that can be called politics. but
merely u set of prejudices of no use to
any body.' Thus Bernard Shaw is an adj
mirable example of confusion of thought
What prejudices? Opinions for which
there is no warrant in reality. I. is, of
course commonly observed that the opin-
ions of twenty are formed upon wide
and deep knowledge of human nature.
Men of fifty are recognized by all the
younger generation to lack that alto
gether

Each Handles own Craft.

The interest in the contest was ac-
centuated by the fact tina. Fife himself
steered the Maudrey, the boat viii III
he had designed. and Nicholson handled
his latest creation. the Pamela. Thus
it was a contest both of seamanship
and design between the two rivals.
The result was a victory for Nichol-
son on both points, for the Pamela not
only proved herself the speedier Of the
two, but was the better handled. 1t is
safe to say that Nicholsons triumph
was very gratifying to Sir Thomas
Upton.
OF course, a first race between two
new yachts can seldom be regarded as
conclusively settling their respective
merits. because, as all yachtsmen
know. it usually requires much sail
ing 20 tune a boat up SO as to develop
her highest capabilities Of speed, and
future races between these two boats
will be watched with much interest on
this side. But for the present Nichol-
son is entitled to do some Growing.
which. by the way, he never does. for
he is one of the most modest of men.

Designer of Lipton's Previous
ChaIlengers Defeated by
Man Who Succeeds Him.

LONDON, June 2 1913.
1t was natural, after William Fife
had thrice failed to turn out boat
speedy enough to win the. America
cup for him, that Sir Thomas Upton
should intrust the designing of his
fourth challenger to another man. But
1T Is no secret that Fife was much
chagrined at not receiving the COM
mission. and the selection Of Charles
Il. Nicholson for the job has intensified
the rivalry between the two designers
This year each of them has turned

Everybody was busy at the Naval Bat
TALON armory last Thursday night. Com
mander Dempf decided to dispense with
drill and have the men prepare their
hammocks and other equipment for the
coming cruise. While the jackies marked
their equipment the officers checked up
the materials and inspected the equip
ment of each man before it was tied up.
Practically the entire fourth division,

the arInory closed THURSDAY night. En-

MORRIS AVENUES
QUIET AT TER RUSH
Business Yesterday Was
Satisfactory, Say the
Merchants

After the rush of Christmas. Morris
avenue presented a somewhat deserted
appearance yesterday afternoon. The
merchants said however, that business
during the day had been satisfactory and
that the supply was still adequate to fill
the demand. Prices are unchanged and
normal.
Although the demand for turkeys and
the supply practically exhausted one or
two of the dealers carried a few over
Christmas. Some shipments arrived very
late in the afternoon of Christmas eve
and were, therefore not sold 1t is ex-
pected that they will go before the New
Year arrives.
In the fish market there was practically
cleanup sale. OF oysters, snapper,
Spanish mackerel and perch there are
but little to be had and merchants say
that no shipments are expected before
Monday or Tuesday. The prices are I'M
changed. but the oyster market is tending
upward, and an advance in the immedi-
ate future would occasion no surprise.
Produce men express themselves as be-
ing greatly pleased with the Christmas
trade. The supply now on hand is suffi-
Gent to care for the New Years business,
and prices are normal

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
Shows Traces of Nervous
ness and Prices Ease
Off

New York. December 26.-The cotton
market was quiet today, but showed
traces of continued nervousness with
prices easing off to within 10 or Il points
of Mondays low level during the early
afternoon. Rallies of several points fol-
lowed in covering and Wall street buying,
however, and the close was steady at
net loss of 1 to points.
As Liverpool viii remain closed until
Monday morning, there We're no cables TO
influence trading at the opening here and
first prices were steady at decline of l to
4 points under a little scattered selling.
A rally to Wednesdays closing figures
quickly followed on covering, but there
was no indication of trade support or of
any aggressive buying and prices soon
weakened in sympathy with an easy turn
in New Orleans, which was attributed to
the circulation of January notices
After selling about 6 or Z points lower,
there We're slight rallies, out the market
remained without any evidences of int
portant demand and prices weakened
again during the early afternoon under
selling. which came from houses with
western connections. The decline was
checked around Lille for March, however,
and prices later rallied or points from
the lowest on covering and little trade
buying.
Very little news was reported from tie
south. The first January notices day in
New York will be next Tuesday, and it is
expected that the bulk of the local stock
will be rendered. Rather a more optimis-
tic tone in financial circles and some-
what improved foreign trade advices IN
spired some of the buying on the late
rally.
