on Saturday.

Howell c. Perrin, chairman OF the race
committee OF the Larchmont Yacht Club,
stated yesterday that the Glass sloops
OF the club would race in the spring re-
Satta of the organization on Saturday.
IT Is the most interesting announcement
thar has been made this year in the
world Of yachts. Not only IS Class q

satta.
ordered during the season OF 1915
from the board OF William Gardner. the
well known New York naval architect,
the Glass y sloops were to have been
the feature class of the following SUM-
mer In 1917 there was practically no
yachting on Long Island Sound. Re-
gardless OF the fact that the yachts were
IN the water. tho Larchmont Yacht Club
decided that the boats would not race
officially. They took part in several un-
official regattas OF the club. Last year
they We're not put into commission.
The division is made up of four sloops
One Is the Georgia, owned by II. II. Ray
mond and F d. NJ. Stra chan. Then
there is the Naruna, which belongs to
Commodore James Il. Ford. No. 3 is the
Nimbus. the property OF j. F, FEEDER. and
Grey Dawn. Philip H. Johnson owner,
completes the craft. With the exception
OF the NaruUa. which carries the Mar
conf rig, the sloops all have the regula-
ton gan rig. All carry the same amount
u sal area.
.Accol ding TO Mr.. Perrin, the Larch-
mont Yacht Club intends to resume rae
ing with all its pre-war enthusiasm. In
addition to the spring regatta on Sat
urday the club will. give its thirty-eighth
annual regatta on July and will start

Damr0Sch GallopS to an
Easy Victory at Jamaica
WINS Garden City Selling Stakes by Three Lengths
Alphee Beats High Class Fillies in the Lassies-
Sun Tobacco Colt Victor.
by HENRY ". KING.

Damrosch won the Garden City Selling
Stakes, the feature at Jamaica yesterday
afternoon. He was much the best OF the
big field of high class platers which went
to the post. and galloped home three
lengths In front OF Kills I'd. Johnny
Lotus had the leg up on Damrosch and
he rode a reckless race. While rounding
the first turn he shot Damrosch through
small opening and in doing so knocked
Recount out of his stride and caused
Schuttinger to take up 10 save himself
from being thrown.
BY this move LOTUS saved half a
dozen lengths. and when the back stretch
was reached had Damrosch in second
place behind Frederick the Great. En-
tering the homestretch Lotus gave Dam
rosch a touch of the whip and his mount
sped to the front. From then to the fin
ish II was merely a. gallop for Com
mander Ross's horse. Frederick the Great

ished far in the ruck. kits ran good
race. but was lucky to beat Rose dor.
which met with repeated interference in
the early part OF the race. She dts
played great burst OF speed Ia the
homestretch and got up In time 10 take
third money. half length III front Of
Recount.
The I.assies' Stake brought out a fine
field of three-year-old fillies. In it John
Sanford's imported filly Alphee sprang a
big surprise. She took the track at the
start and was never headed. During the
last furling she eased up to win by three
lengths from Willis Sharp Kilmer's My
Friend. Mrs. Joseph e. Davis's Ophelia
was third, a length ahead OF W. X. Goes
renowned Terentia. Alphee stepped over

1913.
The race was a real open one. All
OF the contestants had a host OF friends
and every filly was we'll backed. Ter
entia was the favorite, but Ophelia and
My Friend were well supported. Mr.
Sanford entered Tuscaloosa over night.
but withdrew her at the last minute and
pinned his faith on Alphee. He believed
Alphee would win and told all OF his
friends, but\it was her first race OF the
season and only Mr. Santords closest
friends would wager on her. When It
came 10 racing II was one horse event
Ophelia had all her great speed. but
she couldn't pass Alphee and when she
entered the stretch faltered and was
beaten out for place honors by NY
Friend. which ran a fine race under the
guidance of Lotus.
Jack Stuart, which Theodore Cook
claimed from Joe Marrone last week.
won the Montague Handicap IN a driv-
ing finish by a length from King Plau-
dit. Jack Stuart is trained by William
Martin, who owns Valor. which was the
favorite for the event. Because OF his
recent fine races the public wagered on
Nalor heavily. but Jack Stuart was sup
ported by a select few and Backed down

RURAL|TES HAVE Big
HEALTH ADVANTAGE
Abundance of Fresh Air and
Sunlight Do Much to Check
Ravages of tuberculosis.
DANGER IN CLOSED WINDOWS.
National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors the Annual Sale
of Red Cross Christmas Seals,
Reports 10000 Deaths
Each Year From the
Disease.

People who live in the smaller towns
and on farms have a great health ad-
vantage over the city dwellers in that
they have ever an abundant supply of
fresh air and sunlight.
These two gifts of nature. so lavish
ly bestowed, are not always appreciat-
ed to their fullest extent. They are
two Of the strongest weapons against
the menace of tuberculosis, or con-
sumption, as it is sometimes called.
But consumption is not unknown in
! the rural districts. The death rate is
sometimes as great in these sections as
IN the more crowded localities, chiefly
because of carelessness or Indifference
tu laws of health.
Few, indeed, are the farm houses
or the homes in the smaller cities and
villages that cannot have an outdoor
sleeping porch. On the contrary, we
often find that the windows of Sleep
ing rooms in the home are shut tight
in the mistaken belief that night air
is harmful.
This paves the way for disease, espe-
cially tuberculosis, which generally at
tacks the lungs.
White Plague Kills 10000 Year.
The white plague claimed 10000
lives last year in the United States
fering from it today. These figures
are compiled from reports Of experts
all over the country and sent to the
National tuberculosis Association. the
leading agency in the country to COM
bat this disease. This organization is
sponsor for the Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale, from which its financial sup
pert is chiefly derived.
AS medical science has proved con-
sumption is both preventable and cura-
BILE, the suffering caused by this dis
ease is largely unnecessary. Most tu-
| berculosis victims are between the
ages of eighteen and forty-fve
Causes Half Billion Loss Annually.
These are the years when people
are most active, the years of their
greatest production. The snuffing out
of these lives just when they are at
the height of their usefulness means
an annual loss to the country of near
ly half billion dollars.
Fresh air is the cheapest of medi-
