A New Cuincvere
The Guinevere is to replace the
old boat Of that name that was lost
off the coast Of France early in the
war. Mr.. Palmer, the owner, is one
of the best yachtsmen in the New
York clan, and his new boat is ex-
pected to establish new records for
him this season.

Mr.. Scott is one Of the pioneer

Louis Paquet, chef Of the Hotel

can show that the rose, the violet,
the orchid and other flowers can be
used as garnishings and ingredients
of salads and other delectable
viands, giving an entirely new touch
that increases ones interest in what
he is eating.
And just to demonstrate his be-
lief he began chopping up the petals
from Il beautiful red rose in the
kitchens Of the McAlpin, prepara-
tory to the completion of a fruit
salad that contains, as he said,
every known fruit under the sun.
Besides, it was to have rose petals
in it, so favored and worked into
the salad itself as to add greatly 20
the taste and appearance of the food.

and she will present an appearance

The Vanderbilt Tradition

1t recalls to the minds of the old
er yachtsmen and those who have
read much Of the exploits of his fa-
nous ancestor, Commodore Wander
bilt, his love Of the open and of the
sea, when they see the manner in
which Cornelius Vanderbilt jr., son
Of Brigadier General Cornelius
Vanderbilt, handles his latest craft,
the Comet. Mr.. Vanderbilt was
seen often just prior to the war,
in which he took part, at the
Larchmont Yacht Club regattas, and
in the last Of these occasions he won
honors with the Comet that place
him in the fore as one of the "com-
ing" youngsters.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is not without his
superstitions either, because either
beside him or in his lap he always
carries his mascot, and he will
tell you that if he ever enters into
and wins anything worth mention
ing at all he will explain the reason
why he chose just such a wooden
bird as that for his companion at
the helm.

season will see many of New York S

Vanderbilt, one Of the finest Of her
class In existence, will be fapping
her wings to the sweltering shore
again.
Just how many others will par
take Of the sport this summer is
problcmatical, but it may safely be
said that by the late summer OF
1921 the water in the vicinity of
New York City will see the greatest
outpouring Of sailing vessels in his
tory.
One may visit the spots any day
now where men are climbing about
the exterior Of their yachts prepara-
tory to their first dip in three or
four seasons and see the wide inter
est that is being displayed by the
young women Of the city. Scores Of
them will be sailing their own boats
this year and next, and according to
the builders many orders are being
received from the girls themselves.
Miss Claire Whittlesey, owner of
the Meteor, who raced her way to
fame few seasons ago, will heed
the call Of peace and sunny weather
and be back at the helm, it is said,
as will many other young women
who heretofore have been content to
"just go along as company"
A Year of Races
And the attentions of New York
men and women are not altogether
centered upon water activities at
home alone. The challenge Of G. A.
Wood for the British international
trophy and races in other climes are
causing buzzing Of "yacht talk" !"
The eleventh contest for the British
international trophy, which is to
start on August 10 behind the Isle
Of Wight, in England, promises to
furnish much of interest to the
American yachtsman, since Mr..
Wood and perhaps two other Ameri-
cans will be involved in the race.
Word comes from Havana that the
racing season on the water there
has been successful to the extent of
predicting that by next season,
owing to the change in "dampness"
of the climate, there will be many
yachtsmen heading for the islands
off Florida for at least a short stay
and in some cases for a protractcd
sail thereabouts.
Of course, the little matter that is
to be decided off the shores of New
York this summer for the America s
Cup is about the most important bit
Of racing to be attended to at
present. The attempt of Sir Thomas
Upton to come up with a victory
with his sloop Shamrock ", which
was held up by the war, certainly
will attract the attention of every
man and woman interested in this
great summer play. 1t is said that
thousands of persons from Middle
West and Western cities, such as St.
Louis, Chicago and San Francisco,
will be here when the great contest
begins.

A Tiny Ocean Toy

"A Auly OCcan 10y
Although Mr.. Curtis's new vessel
is one to attract the attention Of
all lovers Of sailing craft, there is
another venture that has aroused
quite as much interest this season.
1t is the tiny Victory Dink, mere
infant alongside this great cruiser,
yet having all the requirements of
a first class boat and costing not
one-hundredth as much to operate
or to buy. No, not one part Of one
hundredth! Because for $125 one
may purchase this latest toy, and it
is 10 feet over all, a feet 3 inches
extreme beam and feet wide at
the bottom.
The Victory Dink, suggested as a
class by James Sparkman, strange
to say, perhaps is being bought by
men Of large means in New York,
and is declared to be a roaring sue
cess wherever it has been tried.
It's sail area is 55 square feet, and
it is said Charles D. Mower, who
was commissioned to design the small
boats, has turned out a most attrac-
tive little vessel.
1t will be interesting to see the
majestic steam yacht Corsair, be-
longing to J. P. Morgan, when she
makes her postwar debut in con-
junction with tho international races
bearing ON her smokcstack her chew
rons of war service. She went
through the war, doing service
where she was most needed, and now
is being overhauled, and when she
appears within few weeks will be
as sparkling and as spotless as she
was tho day she was built.
Mr.. Morgan also will be seen this
summer in his thirty-footer, which
has made a brilliant record for
speed.

YANKEE COLONELSPAY
MORE COIN TO PLAYERS
Reach Compromise on Question Of
Dividing Third Place
Profits.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. March 81
A compromise in the dispute over the
division OF the third-place money.
which threatened to have unpleasant
CONSEQUENCES, was reached today be-
tween Colonels Rupert and Huston
and the Yankee players. The club
owners decided to give the amount OF
two shares out of their own pockets.
despite the fact that 1t was due large
ly to their efforts that the money was
first earned and later collected.
The entire conduct OF the players
in regard to this thlrd-place money
has made a bad impression on both OF
the Yankee clubowners. who say II
has been one of the most unpleasant
things they have had to, deal with in
their connection with baseball. The
compromise with the players means
that the Yankee Colonels after fight
ing for the third-place money. now
must pay the shares of Groundkeep-
er Schenck and Trainer Woods out OF
their own pockets.

American Pentathlon Champion
Lies in Hospital With Leg in
Plaster Cast.

The name OF Robert LeGendre.
American pentathion champion, who
lies In Georgetown Hospital with his
leg In a plaster cast. has been added
TO the Hilltop Jinx list today. LeGen-
DIRE complained OF severe pain in his
right leg recently. An x-ray exami-
nation revealed a break of the nbula.
LeGendre will be out OF competi-
tion for six weeks at least. He will
be unable to compete In the pentath-
lon to be held on Franklin Field on
April 80. and may be unable to COM
pete in the Olympiad at Antwerp.
For the past four years one or more
Georgetown athletes has been inca
pacitated by a broken leg. Jackie
Maloney. Bill Dudack. two years run
ming: Joe Lonshsk and "Buck" Wise,
and now lie Gendre, comprise George
towns jinx list.
The loss OF LeGendre to track this
spring will be a blow to Georgetown s
chances for win in the South At
lantics. While the Hilltoppers have
by no means a one-man track team
LeGendre's absence will be a blow.
