greater crowd would be on hand TO

The singing | have just heard-I
mean the 'Marseillaise' and the hymn
of Russia-represents the impulses OF
the people the Mayor said. These
two national anthems represent an en-
thusiasm that could only have como
from the soul of a people who are free

pinnacle OF achievement, there was more
than an inspiration in its music; the
French Revolution was perfected under

A feature OF last night's festival was
the conducting OF the singing BY Direc-
tor Harry Barnhart of the chorus, who
directed from a float, anchored some
distance out in the lake. lie used an

World Famous Yacht
May Carry Freight
The America, Winner of Eng
lish Cup, Is Offered
for Sale

BOSTON, Sept. 14.-Just as many a
famous blue ribbon winner of the turf
has ended its days between the shafts
OF huckster's wagon, the schooner
yacht America, tied up TO a local wharf
for more than twenty years, now seems
doomed 10 end her days as cargo
carrier. The ancient craft has been
towed to a Quincy yard for the in
spection OF two prospective customers
One, a yachtsman, would preserve her
as relic. The other, more unitarian
wishes to make her cargo boat.
Paul Butler, Of Lowell. owner Of the
America, has heretofore refused TO sell
the boat, although he has had numerous
offers. IL was learned several days ago
that the America was for sale. The
yacht had a very heavy lead keel
which. owing to the present high price
of lead, could be disposed of to ad-
vantage, and inside ballast used.
The America is easily the most IA
nous yacht in the world, and was the
first to humble the pride of England in
yachting matters when she won the
Royal Yacht Squadron's trophy in q
race around the Isle of Wight, in 1851
against eight Of the fastest schooner,
yachts in England. At the finish she
was eight miles ahead of the nearest
boat, and Queen Victoria asked: "WhC
is second?" The reply was: There il
no second"
The America was built on the linei
Of New York pilot boat in the yards
of w. H. Brown, at the foot of East
Twelfth Street, New York City. George
Steers made the model under Mr.
/ Browns direction.
The America was purchased by Gen
trail Benjamin F. Butler after the Civil
War, and has been in possession of the
Butler family ever since.
