1t was the second victory of the sea-
son for the Samuri, but her lead would
undoubtedly have been cut down con-
siderably if all four sloops could have
been equally served with the wind. In
stead, the Dodge yacht had all the best
of the breeze.
The Samuri got away in the lead in
a light air at the start at 12:65, with
the Crawling second, the Ventura third
and the Spartan fourth, three minutes
late. The Samuri caught the first of
an easterly breeze out OF Huntington
Bay. while the others lay almost be-
Gained.
Profting by the Samuri's maneuvres,

day. 81 think I have been through
about all the experiences incident to
that system which Lincoln and Grant
fought so hard to put down.
Mr.. Cane was raised on a plantation
near Lawrence, S. c. rs years ago,
and lived there with his mother and a
brother and sister until he was a husky
