s~si Not in years has any sporting venture gone forth from Britain's shores with the sentimental inter est attached thereto or the whole hearted wishes expressed for its success that have marked the voy- age of the good sloop Shamrock V to challenge for the Americas Cup i, The conservative London TimeG remarked editorially:
 sA F''No one cah foresee what will b the result, but hopes run high and it is thought that there never was better chance of winning the Americas Cup. The Shamrock is the fifth of the family and it is just oyer thirty years since Sir Thomas Upton built his first challenger Fortune has never been too kind to him in his attempts to win the Americas Cup. It may be his turn this year. All wish him well in this adventure which he is about to make in his eighty-fi year and hope that he may bring home the Cup at long last"
 Discussing the technical aspects of the big yacht race, the first since 1920 for the Americas Cup, one of Britain's experts writes:
 ,"If it should turn out that the American defender and the chal- lenger are nearly equal in speed, the result of the race will depend large ly upon helmsmanship and what the Americans describe as the judg- ment of the after guard that is to say, the tactical maneuvering. --- we may be quite sure that the will produce highly ef- ficient skipper to steer their boat and that he will have the support of a most skillful tactician at his elbow Those in charge of 2 antil they can handle her at the Start of race as well as old Cap tain Sycamore did the famous 23- metre Shamrock IT."
 
 Speaking, or rather writing of open championships, golf courses and butts Gin the Rotarian) Bobby Junes remarks:
 "The mental attitude in which we approach short butts has a lot to do with our success. When we walk up to putt of ten or fifteen feet. we are usually intent upon holing 1t. we know she shan't feel badly if we miss, so our entire attention ,siB devoted to the problem of get ting the ball into the hole.
 But it is quite different when the putt is only yard long. Then we know that we ought to hole it easily and yet we cannot fail to recognize the possibility of a miss. Instead lof being determined to put the ball into the hole, we become consumated with the fear of failure. l Our determination, if we may call it such. is negative. We are trying sH6t to miss the putt, rather than to mole It" agsPine Valley and Oakmont re- gard as two of the finest examples of1 the American course" Jones | writes. ITO illustrate what mean "a man could go around Pine Val ley playing every long shot per fectly and putting carefully in, say seventy strokes. He might play just as well at St. Andrews (Scotland) | and take seventy-two or three. Yet he might hit few shots off line at Pine Valley and increase his score - ten strokes or more, whereas at St. Andrews these few mistakes might cost him nothing. American courses are easier to play in low figures but ] the good opes are likewise easier to play in high scores"

SMYRNA CENSUS SHOW GAIN
Has a Total in Population of 1857
or 43 Short of 1000

Smyrna has added four more in
habitants to its population during
the past ten years, according TO
the figures of the 1880 census. In
1920. the town had a population of
1853 and today has 1857, or forty
three less than 1000 When it is
considered that "Spruance City,
Smyrna Landing, and Duck Creek
could not be included because out
of the corporate-limits of the town,
the showing is not so bad for i
these suburbs of Smyrna could be
included Smyrna would easily
show a population of near 2ooO
but the census enumerators had to
stick to boundry lines despite the
fact these outside places trade, get
their mail, attend schools and
churches and virtually live IN
Smyrna. However, Smyrna gain
ed slightly and when it is consid-
cred that Middletown, Lewes and
other larger towns showed a fall
ing off, there is something in the
report that Smyrna is listed
among the increases in population
instead of a falling off. Dover,
through an act of Legislature. in
creased its corporate limits con
siderably, taking in from this side
OF Silver Lake to South Dover
rear Coopers Corner. AS a result,
Dover showed a gain of 700, their
population showing All this year
while in 1920 they showed Gems
us of 4.042. Middletown fell off
