ians. and various tribes of South
America, make use of this weapon
in hunting, with marvellous dex-
terity, only, having no bullets,
they fasten stones to their ropes,
which are immensely longer than
this. One end is swung round and
round the mounted hunters head,
and then cast with skill and pre-
cision toward the animal he
wishes to strike; Immediately
drawing it back, he a repeat
the blow, and either kill or wound
his prey. Frequently, however.
the intention is to take the ami
NAL, wild horse, or buffalo, or
whatever it may be, alive; and in
that case, the lasso is thrown,
while riding in hot pursuit, in
such a way as to make the stone
twist many times round the neck,
body, or legs of the fugitive, ar
resting him even in full career"

Life on shore was an agreeable
change for us all. and the boys
went actively to work, so that
the stores were quickly brought
up to the tent, piled in order,
and carefully covered with sail

round. The pinnace being provid-

sweetly in favorite hymns, which
my wife sang from memory.
In the evening l desired the
boys to let me see their dexter
ity in athletic exercises, such as
running, leaping, wrestling, and
climbing; telling them they must
keep up the practice of these
things, so as to grow strong, ac-
tive men, powerful to repel and
cone with danger, as well as agile
and sw~ift-footed to escape from
it. No man can be really coura-

For IL years nothing happened. Every yacht
club in the world had been notified of the
terms, but none responded. Then James
Ashbury, who owned the English yacht Cam
bria, sent informal letter of challenge. File

wanted the defender limited to the size Of his
own schooner, 1873 tons, wanted 10 sail to
England for the seasons at Cowes and Ryde,
then race the Cambria back across the Atlantic
for a wager, and run the actual race for the
trophy around Long Island, two races out of
three He later made his offer more generous,
offering to bet similar cup against the
Americas trophy under the same conditions.
One letter followed another, interSpersed with
q peppering of proposals. notifications cable
grams and bitterness, until finally. in the
Spring of 1870. the Cambria actually
brought the Atlantic. and after a series
of conferences the Americans proposed race
on conditions almost duplicating the unequal
terms under which the America the cup
10 years before. There was to be just one
over the regular course inside the bay, with
the entire fleet of the New York Yacht Club
opposing the Cambria. The old America was
entered by the Navy with crew of midship-
men from Annapolis and carrying naval rather
than yacht rigging.
The schooner Magic was first to get away
from anchor at the start and the Cambria was
second, the America being the last of At the
Spit buoy the Magic led the America by five

many months. He became of the best

nations. The cup was to become the property

that Winter position similar to that occupied
today by Upton.
He was not satisfied however, with the terms
under which he had been forced to race, and
on his return home started plans for another
boat and began corresponding anew. He pro-
tested that placing the whole club fleet against
him violated the terms of the deed, the paper
specifically stating that the cup was to be
raced for in match" and not a sweepstakes.
He threatened, if this was to be the case in
the next race, to get all the yacht clubs OF
Great Britain to name his Livonia their repre-
sentative and to challenge the New York Club
to a separate race for each club, victory in
any race emitting him to the cup. The New
Workers appealed to Schuyler, the only sur
vfving member of the Americas syndicate, who
upheld Ashbury, and the New Workers
forced to accede, but they did grudgingly
and adopted plan which was almost as
fair, although it was one which is responsible
probably more than any other factor for the
fact that the cup has never left this country.
The defending club decided to select the four
fastest yachts of four different types and choose
the defender on the morning of the race Thus
they could pick the one best suited to the
weather, while the challenger had to take his
chances.
Ashbury also objected to racing against the
light centerboarders and to the inside course
at New York, but the former objection was
ignored and a compromise reached by which
the races were to alternate between the course
in the harbor and one of Sandy Hook light.
THE Livonia finally crossed in September,
1871, running into a hurricane on the
way, and the first race was sailed on october
is. Columbia, a light centerboarder, was
chosen for the first race and won. Two days
later the second race was held off Sandy Hook
and again the Columbia was chosen. The Lii
vonia led all the way to the stake boat. There
she jibed around the turn which was accord
ing to recognized rules and lost time. The
Columbia, however, luffed around it and cut
in ahead of the Briton, winning by 10 minutes.
Ashbury protested. but was calmly told that

EXPECT NO INCREASE
 IN CITY'S TAX RATE
Officials Believe Same Levy Can Be Maintained
 Next Year

The prevailing belief at city hall that the tax rate of 2S mills will remain stationary in spite of a suo- stantial increase in costs of educa- ton. is shared by Chairman Thomas Linder of the board of assessors who declared today he does not expect any material boost.
 Mayor PaoneSsa recently called attention to the likelihood that in creased expenditures of the school committee would require the city to provide the equivalent of one mill in taxation, in additional ap- propriation. The trend of all other departmental estim"tes has been downward. however, and this fact, together with an increase in the amount of the grand list. is expect ed to offset the higher school costs.
 Hearings on budgets will be held next week, opening Tuesday night and continuing through Friday. Budgets will then so 10 a pruning committee of the board of finance and taxation. after which a tax rate will be recommended to the con- mon council.
