Average Man Not an Artist

An English clergyman recently was instrumental in furnishing an evil dence of tho persistency of the primi tive in modern man. For the amuse- ment of his parishioners, and for the purpose of bringing to light any und!s. covered genius which might be lying dormant among them, he instituted a competition in wood carving. selecting such subjects as man on horseback walking, blowing and performing sim plo and common actions. The results were startling. In practically every instance they bore striking resemb' lance to the efforts of our ancient and prehistoric forebears.

DIFFICULTIES
OF ARRANGING
CUP CONTESTS.

New York, Feb. 15.-Although the
dates for the Americas cup races ana
the preliminary trials have been fixed
the hardest portion of the details re-
garding the international regatta re-
main to be worked out, according to
Secretary C. A. Cormack of the New
York Yacht Club.
No one not familiar with the nu-
merous and intricate arrangements
necessary TO stage a series Of races
for the Americas cup" said Secre-
tary Cormack, can realize the mass
of detail that must be arranged and
provided for. Many of the arrange
ments are made under government
control and sanction, and no small
part of these arrangements have to
do with the safety of the spectators
who will witness the races.
"I feel safe in estimating that fully
150, 900 persons will be gathered about
the course when the Shamrock ~ and
the Americas cup defender sail across
the starting line.
All sorts of excursion craft, sea go
ing steamers and private yachts will
follow each other out of the harbor
and collect upon the course. The gov
ernment inspectors must see that
these boats are not over crowded and
carry the full equipment of small
boats. RATS and life preservers. The
course must be patrolled and care
taken that these hundreds of large
vessels. augmented by the motor
boats, do not encroach on the racers

to a considerable extent, but here
again trouble will arise. Almost with
out exc ption private and public ex-
cursion vessels Will be equipped with

cult at times, l am afraid, for the re-
ceiving stations TO pick up their own
