the Shamrock and the defending candi-
dftes Resolute and Vanitie were housed
over on shore. Since then there have
been several communications exchanged
between Sir Thomas and the New York
Yacht club, all in line with his eX-
pressed desire to race when the war
was over A year ago Sir Thomas re-
quested the club to let the matter stand
as it did when the war broke out, and
he secured assurance that no other
challenge would be accepted until he
had a chance to race again.
Wind Delayed Races.
The last races held for the Ameri-
cas- cup were scheduled for August.
but were not finished until Sept. 3 on.
account Of postponement when there
was no wind, The last OF August Is
considered the best time to hold them,
and the 10 months clause in the deed
of gift undoubtedly would be wasted
inasmuch as the yachts are actually
built.
New sails probably would have to be
made for both challenger and defender.
There Is easily time for that. Their
were.
There is one thing, however, that
would necessitate the placing of the
yachts in commission early in the sum-
mer, and that is the fact that their
crews have been scattered. The train
ing OF new crews would take time.
Wha Shamrock ~. would have to
race against to try her out is a uues-
ton. Both Vanitie ana Resolute are
available for competition to select the
defender, Vanitie's sails were all worn
out when the trial races avere stopped
four years ago She is owned by Alex
ander Smith Cochran, who is in the
West. He probably would be asked II
he cared to race her again against Res
olute. and II he decided not to he might
turn her over to some member of the
New York club who would. Vanitie is
lying on the beach at City island.
Shamrock is resting In a cradle and
sheltered by a sheet iron building erect
ed around her in a %shlpyard In Erie
basin. She has been regularly inspected
every three months by w. d. Dickey,
Sir Thomas Liptou's mechanical engi-
neer in this country. Mr., Dickey, who
Is well known as a marine engineer
and shipbuilder, has cared for every
one of Sir Thomas's c~hallengers on this
side Of the water.
Shamrock Stripped
The spars, rigging and fittings Of the
Shamrock ~. are housed beside her in
a long and specially constructed shed.
Every fixture and partition in the racer
was taken out when she was hauled
ashore in 1914, 80 that nothing more
than the empty hull is resting on the
cradle. Thousands of dollars have been
expended by Sir Thomas keeping Sham
rock in as good condition as possible.

Mr.. and Mrs. John F. Matthews, o.

their son, Private Russell Matthews

stating that he was we'll and was or

The many friends of Rev. H. w

At one Of the Cambridge Churches
last Sunday evening there were four
gentlemen, all sitting together upon
the one seat, asleep. 1t was re-
markable tribute to the patience OF
the preacher that he did not have
them awakened, but let them sleep
right on through the sermon Each
one of the four claims that it was
seeing the other fellow asleep that
made him drowsy.
These gunners do certainly have a
time; nearly all of them, including
even the editor, will tell you that
they do not mind shooting and kill
ing game; what they mind is carry
ing it after it is killed. Yesterday
a number of sportsmen went out and
carried with them a gentleman who
never shoots a gun; some say he
cannot hit anything, others that he
has conscientious scruples against
killing; at any rate, he went along
and agreed to carry all the game
they could kill, but along about noon
the hunting had been good, and
this gentleman, who is not accustom-
ed to this kind of labor-his time be-
ing largely taken up with administer
ing justice in the lower court-deci-
ded that h ewas tired, and Jagged a
little behind the gunners. Then the
first thing they knew, he was out of
sight, and, finally, having killed sew
eral more rabbits, they made their
way back to the house where the ma
chine had been left, and one can
hardly imagine their surprise at find
ing him sound asleep in the machine,
his placid countenance suggesting
not trouble nor worry in the world,
and certainly ne was not worrying
over any decisions about carrying
game for someone else.

To Publish New
Influenza Cases

Owing to the misleading rumorS
that have been circulated concerning
the number of cases of Influenza in
Cambridge, the Board of Health
deems it advisable to publish daily
the number of new cases reported
each day by the PHYSICIANS. The doc
tors will be expected 20 make their
reports daily, as required by the
State Department CT Health.
During the recent epidemic, on &C
count of the rush upon the doctors,
the rule was not enforced, but the

rule must be rigidly enforced and
that it will accept no excuses.
