one "I'', distinction of importance
in the two families, as they are
onw only two very distantly related.
One of the saddest tragedies in
the history of the Allstons was the

The White House was destroyed

the one in Washington, but famous
one in Georgetown county South
Carolina. The place was the property
of Mrs Elizabeth W. Prlngle,
dauphtcr of r. f. W. A!isson. the
of South Carolina. He was the
most distinguished member of q
family whose wealth and culture was
once Droverbial in the Carolinas. Mrs.
Pringle had long contribute articles

White House was org Of the mos

eminent public man of South Car
olina. in the diplomatic service, who
discovered the beautiful tropic
flowe.'. "poinsctta," and who adorn-
ed the estate with trophies O. his
travels. In the hrrds of the Allston
family it was the center of soclai
life and a landmark along the Pee

Mrs. Prngle's e@ther is said to

For 13th Time British Yacht Loses s Series

New York. July 27.-For the thirteenth successive time since the inauguration of interna- tional yachting contests a half century ago, a British challen- ger has been defeated by a Yankee defender of the Amer ica's cup, the perpetual trophy named from the SC hooner yacht, America, which won the first race from Great Britain in 1851.
 Before Shamrock ", twelve challen- gers strove in vain for the hundred guina pewter mug, which, since It's founding/as as a world yachting prize, has been in the custody of the New York Yacht Club.
 Sir Thomas Upton has failed in his fourth attempt to realize 8 cherished ambition, after trying since 1899, with four different Shamrocks, to return tho precious grail to the Royal Ulster Yacht Club of England.
 When America won, the now historic cup in 1851, the trophy was not an in- ternational one. Six years after this first race with Great Britain. the cup was brought to the United States by the New York Yacht Club and placed in trust as an international challenger prize. Here it has remained and to- days victory by Resolute insures it's retention by America for at least ans

ute and 16 seconds ahead of the Amer lean boat, but withdrew from the race and on October 1, 1901, Shamrock II finished two seconds ahead of Colum- bia. but lost because of a 42-second time allowance.
 In 1871, the contest was the best four out of seven races. In 1876. 1881. 1885, 1886 and 1887 the contests were decided on the basis of the best two out of three races. From 1893 until the present the agreement has been for the best three out of five races.
 It was in 1871 that the pra.tIce ot building yacht especially to defend the trophy was instituted, with the con- struction of the Pocahontas
 In the quest for the cup the Royal Ulster Yacht Club was preceded in the early years of the contests by the Royal Yacht Squadron of England.
 Years of preparation and millions of dollars were expended to produce the marine classic concluded today The event was financed by syndicate of commodores and former commodores of the New York Yacht Club the princi- pal expenditure, of course, being for the construction of the defender Reso- lute. The entire expense of the chal- lening yacht was defrayed by Sir Thomas, who had the most daring and original naval architect of all Britain design and build for him racing craft to lift the cup.
