brilliantly illuminated vessel lying
at anchor about FIVE miles from shore

nights Many nervous people claimed
that 1t was a warship of some foreign
country. and others declared that II was
the yacht OF a millionaire who was enter
tanning guests at n dance while his craft
was bobbing UP and down on the waves.
The true story about the vessel is that

SHOEMAKER STICK TO YOUR LAST"
Jacquith, the aviator. who has never
met with an accident since he started
flying here two years ago, Is now suf-
fering from a fractured ankle and a split
collarhone. He did not receive these in
Juries while engaged in the seemingly
perilous occupation Of navigating the air.
Last week he took trip to New York
on motorcycle and collided with a Ford
truck demolished his machine, and re-
celved the injuries from which he is now
suffering. Hereafter, he will stick to air
flights and attempt no stunts on the
earth.
CHELsEAs SOCIAL wHIRL.
Chelsea is now in the zenith of its glory.
The fashionable people who reside there
are vieing with each other In the giving
of social events, so that every day and
night there are from 10 to a dozen dan
SAINTS, card parties, muSicales and other
affairs. circus is to be given the latter

benefiting charity may get a large sum
of money.
Young men are practicing gymnastic
stunts on the beach during bathing hours,
young women are devising elaborate cos
tunes for parts they will assume, and 1t
is even hinted that well-known society
leader will use her own horse and do a
regulation circus riding act. 1t is also
said that two debutantes of last season
will don the motley garbs worn by circus
clowns and cut capers in the ring. his
will be the big event of remarkable
successful social season.
A new method of entertainment has
been put In operation at one of the piers.
1t Is called the panama Canal" and
consists of a long trough of water. over
which is stretched a tight rope The peo-
pie who want to play the game try to
walk the length OF the trough on the
rope. If they slip, they go down in the
water ankle deep, and many of them do,
giving the spectators an opportunity TO
laugh long and loud at their bad luck.
Notwithstanding the big percentage of
losers, there is always a waiting crowd
to try the new game, and as a mirth-
provoker II is even more successful than
the mixer" or human roulette wheel"
