FINISHING POLISH
OF DEFENDER YACHT

Bristol, r. l., March 31.-A score OF
electric polishing buffers began the
finishing touches on the cup defence
yacht Resolute today
In the building here of the five 9TH
err metal cup yachts, the Vigilant, De-
fender, Columbia. Constitution ana
Reliance, the underbody polishing was
done by hand and a fair surface re-
suited. The electric buffers are ex-
pected to develop a polish which, one
of the workmen said, would make an
eelskin look rough in comparison. the
polishing probably will be finished by
the end of the week and 10 or IL days
will be necessary to put the yacht in
complete shape for the launching
which is scheduled for April II. The
tender Cape Cod, with the officers and
crew of the Resolute, is expected here
three or four days before the yacht
goes overheard.

Waterville, Me, March 31.-(SpeciaD.
When the author gave the play pro-
duced Tuesday evening by the High
school students before a large audi
enee at the City Opera house, the til
tie "All Tangled Up" he bestowed upon
it the most BETTING name that mas
ter mind could evolve. From the mo-
ment the curtain went up. until with
in a few moments OF the termination
when the tangle was finally unraveled
and everything righted, it surely was
the most complicated affair that anna
teurs have attempted in the little Elm
city fer many moons. Teeming with
quaint and mild humor and bristling
with action, the little three-aet COM
edy served as an excellent expression
for the talents of the students. The
play is well adapted for High school
amateurs and they perhaps lifted it
above the average scholastic present
alton by their clever portrayal of the
characters before the footlights.
The story of the play deals with
the time-worn plot of the wary old
husband taking the wrong overcoat at
an evenings revelry, he wishes to
keep secret from his wife. The other
victim of the overcoat exchange is to
all appearances the greatest duelist
and artist of the day, and one person
