Broke Out In Small Pimples. Could Not Sleep. Would Itch

HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT
II broke out with a rash which at first thought was prickly heat, and tried to heal 1t with a home remedy, but it kept getting

worse. It was called sevcn- year itch. It resembled chicken pox, broke out in small pimplcs. I scratched the pilnples and gradually my whole body was covered even to my hair. Soon I was a mass of eruptions. I got so bad l could not sleep. It would itch ond bl,rn all nipht.

Whether another twenty-nlne years

asked many times in the last ten days,

SAIL PLAN OF THE

When She Meets the Vanitie
in Newport Races.

Yachtsmen in all parts Of The coun-
try who have read Of this season !
racing between the big sloops Reso-
Lutte and Vanitie candidates for the
honor of defending the Americas Cup
will doubtless watch with increased
interest the performance of these two
Yachts off Newport this week.
The Resolute's sail plan has been
materially changed since her last race
on the Sound at LarchmOnt on July
II. The HerreShotfs have also changed
her mast and some of her other sparS
and removed the bOwsprit, so that
when she appears az the starting line
of Brenton Reef Lightship tomorrow
morning she viii have a single, instead
Of double head rig.
Whether this Will reduce or add TO
her sail area is not known at pres
ent. but il is understood that she VIII
still receive an allowance Of time from
the Vani:ie. That yacht has also un-
dorgone some changes at Jacobs yard
City Island, since her last race. Just
what the changes are only those III

Three races are scheduled 10 De

Newport beginning tomorrow morn

respectively, weather permitting. The
race committee, it is understood, is to

New York Girls Hard
at Work for Long SWim

England, and George Hodgson, of
Canada, at this distance; and though
his times were slower in the longer
events, il must be remembered that the
water in the yacht harbo, is cold and
usually quite rough. Further, LANCER
was not hard pressed, and naturally
husbanded his resources instead OF GO
ing after records, seeing that his sched-
ule included five championship races,
from 440 yards to Pr niles, in one
week. Trained especially for any sim
gle event and forced TO do his best,
there is hardly a doubt that he could
win against all foreign opponents in
worlds record time.
A good share of the credit for Lam
gers brilliant work must be granted
to Vance Nieth, the former Philadel-
phia amateur, now coach of swimming
at the Los Angeles Athletic Club. The
young champion showed such poor form
throughout the winter while at the
University of California that 1t was
thought he had completely lost his
great speed. But no sooner did he
place himself in Vieth's hands, early
this summer, than he began at once to
improve, and before long was moving
faster than ever.

To look over the quintet OF fossy

In the opinion Of Mr. Phzer, who is
known in sport as the NJ. +. II. Of the

an owner of racehorses, especially
steeplechasers. the three breeds mat

George Esselborn Has
Hopes of Setting a
New Record to
Sandy Hook.

Several girl swimmers nj the Ma
tional Women's Lifesaving League will
take part in the ia mile Marathon
race TO be held in the Delaware River
over the Chester-P Philadelphia courses.
Five of them the Misses Edna Cole.
Lucy Freeman, Elsie Sutton. Rita
Greenfield and Dora Hyatt-hdve been
practising the trudgeon crawl stroke
in Alex Meffert's bath, at Eightyfourth
Street, and are now training daily IN
open water at Sheepshead Bay. A
sixth. Miss Martha flagstaff, holder Of
the fve-mile league championship, has
been doing preparatory work indoors
and will join the squad this week.
With the exception of Miss Green
field, who has heretofore devoted her
efforts entirely to sprinting. these
maids are experienced long distance
swimmers of tested endurance. As the
coaching recently received has ma
terially improved their form and in
creased their speed there is reason to
believe they will make a strong bid for
honcrs in the coming race.
Local aquatic followers are keenly
interested in the attempt OF George
ESselbCrn to-day to break the Battery
Sandy Hook record OF hours Is min
utes, now to the credit of George r.
Meehan, Of Boston. They arc anxious
to see home swimmer capture the
coveted laurels, and Esselborn seems
able TO turn the trick if conditions are
favorable.
He will start from the barge Office at
: a. m, the calendar time for high
tide, and follow the route mapped out
last year for the Tribune Marathon
swim. A number of prominent water
men will accompany him as officials and
timeke epers, and one or two distance
swimmers Will start against him to
make the trial a race.
The longest list of cntI.es on record
has been received for the Western
Rowing Club five-mile handicap, to be
run off to-day on the Mississippi River.
1t is one of the leading features of
the swimming season in the Middle
West and brings out all the new ma
terial. Among the favortes are Hap
lin Burke and Matthew Brazil, of the
Missouri Athletic Club; Ben Johnson,
of the Knights of Columbus. and Harry
Kroegcr, of the Columbian Athletic
Club.
The performances of Ludy LANCER,
OF the Los Angeles Athletic Club in
the exposition water carnival at San
Francisco, stamp him a dangerous rival
to any swimmer in the world over
courses ranging between 440 yards and
o,e mile. His 500-yard international

PROFESSIONAL.

In England there is an unohclai
record that Lang, the great mller OF
tho late sos, ran a mile IN minutes
1Ol5 seconds. but that, OF course, was
never authenticated and does not
stand as a record. There were many
who contended that Lang was capaDle
of such a performance.
Of the records listed all were MADE
in England with the exception OF lhe
four amateur marks by Conneh, Jones
and Taber. Connect was not an Amen
can born. so that the marks OF Jones
and Taber are the only records by
Americans. 81,
Just how Taber's wonderful mile
compared with the four greatest miles
of history. which are Georges, Con-
neff's, Jones's and his own, is shown
bv this analysis, which compares the
times for each quarter-mile:
,.u,.r qa., p9 81; +, 81 /, i. TI s.
5 Gsorse - IL c@! j.: s 81 Se5 ;i3 g
OF the four George made the fast
est time TO the three-quarter mile
Why he failed to make better time ioI
the last quarter mile is best explained
by the fact that Cummings, against
whom he was racing, took the lead
and was in front until within thirty
yards of the finish, when stone on
the cinder path lodged in his spike
and threw him off his stride.
George at the time was hve yar1s
behind, and Cummings lost so much
that George was enabled to regain the
lead and win. If Cummings had been
able TO keep his stride, it is pure con
lecture what the time for the mile
would have been. That it probably
would have been under 4;l2 goes with
out saying.
Looking at Taber's marks, it is easy
to criticise and remark that better
speed in the second and third quarter
miles would have brought his final
mark down. But Taber ran his race as
he had planned, and the fact that he
was able 10 finish with such a whirl-
wind sprint is ample proof that he
ran it wisely and as best suited him
self.
