the hostrities in Europe. indications are
that yachting activity will be stimulated
on this side of the Atlantic
So many wealthy Americans are stay
ing home this summer that there are
likely to be more yachts in commission
than in many years. Not even the prom
ise of the international race for the
American cup last year had such a,
stimulating effect on yachting plans.
The schooner yacht Sea Call, the larg-
est sailing yacht ever built in this coun-
try is now in the water, and is expected
to prove one of the most interesting
cruisers. OF 49,. Alexander Smith coch-

MEREDITH HAS Big TASK
Will Compete Against Two of Best
ouarter-Milers in Country at
Eastern Meet.
THEN MUST RUN HALF MILE

PHILADELPHIA, May 22-Seldom in
the history of college sport has an ath-
lete faced a sterner task than the one
that confronts Ted Meredith on the final
day of the Intercollegiate American ANA
teur Athletic association championship
meet at Franklin field on May %. The
wonderful Quaker runner is going to try
to do what he just failed to accomplish
at the intercollegiates last spring, viz. to
win both the quarter mile and half mile
championships and thereby put ten good
points in the University of Pennsylvania
column.
In substance Meredith will have to go
out and lick two quarter milers capable
OF doing close to forty -eight seconds. and
then within an hour come back to the
mark and take the measure Of two of
the fleetest half milers in the country
Marty Hayes of Princeton and Bill Bing-
ham of Harvard. Last year Ted got
away with the 40. though he had to do
2S25 seconds to win; only to fall victim
to Davy Caldwell's sprint in the final
fifty yards of the half" Meredith's task
and his chances look about the same this
time. He's likely TO have to run stride
or two faster in the quarter, while the
opposition that he will meet in the half
mile looks little less classy. ,1l
Yale Man Dangerous.
The men who will press Meredith IN
the quater mile are Val Wilkie of Yale
university and Wilcox of Harvard. wilkie,
one Of the most consistent quarter nilers
that ever wore spiked shoe. is sure to
make Meredith run right to the tape.
Wilcox is fully as fast as Wlkie when
he Is right. but is inclined to be a bit
erratic. All this spring Wilkie has shown
that he is faster runner than ever be-
fore. On April 30. at New Haven, Val
stepped his 40 in 4S3s seconds from a
standing start, and a repetition of this
performance at the intercollegiates will
force Meredith to his limit to win.
Both Bingham and Hayes will make
some trouble for Meredith in his second
race at the Observation-Disclosures half mile.
The Harvard flier has grown much
bigger, and consequently stronger since
last year, and his running has shown a
corresponding Improvement. In a two
mile relay on the boards early this spring
Bingham actually gained ground on
Meredith, and I'm the one-mile champion
ship relay race at the Pennsylvania re-
lays last month the Pennsylvania flier, in
doing his ''forty-eight two" gained but
four yards on the Harvard boy.

Would You suppose that n!nety-nine
men out of "A hundred would drop
when they are shot. whether they need
to drop or not? Its so. however.
THE average man when he realizes
that he has "A bullet in him or that on,
has passed through him feels that he
must fall down. No. I'm not Joking.
! realize that wound is a wound and
that II always has "A physical conse-
quence. | realize that there are
wounds that make it impossible for a
man to remain on his feet. But I
also know that men have been all
shot to pieces and yet have remained
on Their feet.
For instance, you may recall one
of the broad daylight town bank rob-
berries Of the Fords some years ago.
While escaping with their loot one Of
the members of the band was shot as
he ran toward the spot where he had
tethered his horse. He ran on. bag
of specie in one hand and his crack
ing revolver in the other.
HE sprang upon his horse, dug in
his spurs and galloped of, firing back
as he flew. He was out of sight and
shot in few seconds. When the pur-
suing townsmen reached turn in
the road two miles away they came
upon his dead body by the roadside.
One bullet had passed through his
heart, one through his abdomen and
he had five more in various parts OF
his legs. Yet he rode his horse two
miles before he fell dead.
Now ! am convinced that most men
would have dropped with just one of
those bullets in their leg. They might
have had the physical power to stand
up and go on their way, but the knowl-
edge that they had a bullet i'm their leg

more than ever.
The girls from the Winter Garden.
for instance from Maid in America"
are seen in their so-called cabaret
costume" This consists, as the care
full observer will note with mingled
feelings, of velvet trunks and silk
socks. But these costumes cost no
less than $65 each. When it comes to
dressing thirty young women of the
chorus in this way II may he seen
that even as undressed a number as
this may be expensive to the man
ager. One set of costumes costing
1880 is an important detail when
there are to be about twenty such
sets. 1t is easily understood, there
fore, why the Winter Garden spec
more or less-and all of that is for
the dressing or the undressing OF the
chorus and principals.
The costumes worn by the "Sister
Susie" chorus in the same play cost
SIS each, although they are made
of crazy patch satin which did not
require large amounts of any color
and might have been put together
from remnants. But inexpensive as
they may appear they served to make
another two or three thousand dollar
item on the whole, which reaches into
the large sums that such shows now
cost. The harem dresses, which are
much more comprehensive than the
others. cost only $40 each.
The most expensive costume in
Chin Chin" is also the lightest. 1t
weighs only three pounds and is worn
by graceful and diminutive Marjorie
Bentley Nine. Cavalazzis pupil and a
graduate OF the Metropolitan Opera

tune consists of bodice OF white
tarletan, silk tights and shoes and
cost $500. The two pretty bareback
riders, Eleanor st. Clair and Marion
Davies, who are also with Montgom-
cry and Stone, also have ballet
dresses, but they were not so costly.
The material is of white tarletan and
silk, with pink silk tights and pink
satin slippers. In spite Of the scant
acreage of this lingerie product the
price Of each Of the dresses was 500.
1t would have taken $25 more to buy
one Of the frocks worn by the Nell
Brinkley girls, as they are called.
Each Of the dresses cost $125. They
are made OF pale yellow chiffon en-
broidered with rOsebuds. There are
