Chinese Flag, Upside
Down, Ired Sirius
Passengers

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The
Chinese flag, with its varied col
ors and many stripes, proved a
Chinese puzzle to 500 Chinese
business men. The merchants
were ready to set sail on the
Sirius, on an outing to the Con-
necticut shore, when q keen OBJ
server dropped a bomb among
the otherwise peaceful excursion
lists by declaring that the flag
proudly fluttering in the breeze
was upside down.
Those who had put it there saw
it otherwise, and the argument
that resulted delayed the boat
for an hour. The debate spread
throughout the boat, and excite
ment ran so high that the police
communicated with the Chinese
consul. The consul decided that
the flag was upside down, and
the protesters cheered wildly as
it was righted. Half convinced,
the others submitted.

Memories Of Contest in Storm

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Aug. %.
Perhaps the foremost event in the
four days program now being con-
Quoted by Gloucester in celebration
of the three-hundredth anniversary
Of the city's founding is the Fish
ermen's Race to be run off in these
waters today.
The contest is a genuine fisher
mems race, without the formality
of trustees, rules Of the road, or
other unnecessary red tape. There
has gone forth call to all fishing
schooners in the United States and
the Dominion Of Canada to partici-
pate, the only rules being that the
schooners must be tWo.nlasted ves-
some crack schooners. and Boston
will send down the schooner May.
flower, the "undisputed champion
Of the North Atlantic" barred from
participating in the international
Fishermen's Race because she was
too 'yachty." That there will be a
real race everyone has no doubt
and that all that will be necessary
to make it real race is wind.
In the celebration in 1899, when
Gloucester observed it's 250tln ami
versary al township, there was
q fishermen's race that has never
been duplicated. The wind blew a
gale, schooners were driven home
with sails in shreds and masts
swapping under the strain; but 1t
was a race, and, although that hap
pened thirty-one years ago, they
haven't got over talking about 1t
yet in Gloucester.
Sir Thomas Upton, English
sportsman, who recently arrived in
this country, an ardent admirer Of
racing, has donated a handsome
silver trophy as the first prize for
the winner of the race, and, in adj
dition to this, there will be cash
award of $1,000 to the winner.
The second prize Is a handsome
cup donated by Col. John w.
Prentiss and a cash award Of $500.
Already there have been several
entries for the race, including the
Henry Ford, defeated challenger
for the international Fishermen's
trophy; the Columbia, recently
built and a possible challenger for
the, trophy this year; the Eliza
beth Howard, the white Ghost"
OF the 1lSnlng 1leet; the shamrock,
of Boston, and others.
In addition to the race for. fish
ing schooners, there ID to be a
yacht race, with nine classes of
boats, from Annisquam. the
Corinthian and New York yacht
clubs.
The city Of Gloucester and the
State have evidenced their recog-
milton Of the prowess of this sec
tons master fishermen by the fact
that $4,000 each has been appro-
priated by the State legislature
and the city government for the
erection Of a monument to these
hardy voyagers.
Neither the form nor the loca-

been determined. but It is thought

advantages which other places have not. Trees grow luxur1anty
