Winners Are Repeating.

SHoULD either Pagan or Myers
~ crash through with a victory
this afternoon it would mark the
first cleavage of winners who have
dominated competition in all four
classes of the Sunday races. On each
of the first three Sundays this Spring
the same man has won in the moth,
comet, class A and class B classes.
Edward D. Blount, in his moth,
Harriet, started winning on April 26,
and his effort on the following Sun
day. May 3. was the third fastest
time in which the two laps have been
completed by any boat this Spring.
Blount raced around the course in
l hour and minutes fortnight
ago, which, incidentally, was the day
of the storm, which put a premature
finish to the contests.
So far, no comet skipper has been
able to catch D. Werner Smythe, one
of the pioneers in the comet class
here and regional vice president for
the Chesapeake Bay territory. On
each occasion, however, r. C. Cruit
has given Smythe a close race, finish
ing as runner-up each time. Smythe's
time of hour and minutes is the
second fastest recorded time of any
craft to date. Pagan may have given
an inkling of what 70 expect today
when he finished in third place last
Sunday after getting away to the only
perfect start of the afternoon.
Ted Deboer, champion of class A
last year, seems to be in a good spot
to repeat, as he has won each of the
races featuring that type of boat.
Moreover, Deboer holds the 1886 speed
record of the association, completing

~ ROWSING among tones of
x ancient vintage in one OF
shops, espied faded copy
of Maj. G. H. Verney's "Chess Ec-
centricities," published in London
1885. AS idled through the strange
account Of world varieties of the ches-
sic art. I found this bit of verse
credited to John Dryden:
Thus haze seen a king at chess,
His rocks and knights Dithdrawn;
His queen and bishops, in distress.
Shifting about, grop less and less.
With here and there a paiOn.
To the reader of this column who
is the first to write me the name OF
Dryden's poem that contains this chess
gem shall be given q copy Of the Laws

Paschal Is A. A. A. Champ.
SINCE January 8 members of the
Agricultural Chess Club have beer
contending for the club championship
in round robin tourney that termi-
mated last week, with G. Paschal oi
the A. A. A., now associated with the
Republican National Committee, lead
ing the upper bracket of the 16 Original
entries in the battle of jouStine
knights, representative of all branches
Of the Department of Agriculture.
The 500 per cent class include Pas
chal, who tops them all with bat
ting average of 1893, followed by D. S
Burch with a percentage of 700
Alexander Sturges Of the B. A. E.
who chalked up percentage of .6S8
and Joseph Chmielewski, the problem
ace, who ran fourth in the race with
a score of GIL.
Trailing the leaders are G. w. Her
vey, who captured one game with the
champ; A. c. Hoffman, A. E. Mcclure
N. D. Mcdowell, H. B. Richardson and
E. J. Simmons.
Paschal received a certificate oi
award for placing first in the tourna-
ment. With the certificate goes the
club title for 1886. Curiously enough
a plan to present ash trays to the
leaders in the match went awry wher
it was observed that all those, 81
rated, were non-smokers.
Chess Director Sturges is now
analyzing the play-by-play records Of
all games supplementary to announc-
ing the best-played games Of the robir

GIRLS AIM TO AID
IN COMET RACING
Barbara Myers, Alice Pagan
Now Quite Proficient at
Handling Craft.
BY BILL DISMER, JR.
TWO nautically-inclined fathers
are discarding an old adage

L much to their delight, that

these days and discovering,
u much to their delight, that
"woman's place is in their boat"
A pair of Capital Yacht Club mem
bers, Paul F. Meyers and Albert E..
Pagan, have found that their daugh-
tiers. Barbara and Alice, show rare
aptitude in early trials with their
comets, with the likelihood that both
will be experienced shippers long be-
fore they are out of their teens.
Along with their dads, who are
starting their first full season OF rae
ing in the Potomac Sailing AsSocla-
ton, which sponsors races of Hams
Point each Sunday, the girls may be
found on the water nearly every al
ternoon, daily strengthening their en-
thusiasm for the popular little comets
purchased less than year ago.
While the Myers family has been
raised on the water, Barbaras crave
for the waves hardly exceeds that OF
Alice, who is becoming as at home on
the sea as she is in the ball room Bar
bara has been known to give up dates
for any sea-going venture, and the
becoming manner in which she now
sails a boat tends toward the belief
that her future boy friends might dc
well by saving for a comet instead OF
o car.
Although Myers long has been a
power boating devotee, this is his
first sailing experience, the Mink haV-
ing been obtained only short time
ago. Pagan got his Gwen, christeneo
for Mrs. Pagan, last Fall, and there
upon proceeded to cruise away" with
the remaining races on the Associa-
tion's Fall schedule.

But this year both dates come

After full day consumed by

cause they were opposed to the
death penalty, four admitted a
prejudice against it and three said
they had formed an opinion on the
case.
Ten members of the regular jury

were chosen tentatively, but final
selection was expected to require at

U. S. EXPENSES
IN 1885 DOUBLE
YEARS INCOME
Peace Time Spending
Record Is Set by
Government.

By Jntted Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Ex-
penditures of the Federal govern
ment during 1885 were approximate
ly double its income and set another
peace-time spending record, year.
end Treasury figures showed today.
The full year 1895, representing
the last half of the 1885 fiscal year
and the first half of the 1886 fiscal
year, saw the Treasury spend ST.
612, 467 ,954 and collect $685., 1894, 1874.
This left a deficit of S3,755 ,073 1880
which was met either by borrowing
or by draft on the Treasury's cash
and bank deposit.
On per capita basis the Fed
eral government spent in 1885 ap-
proximately $50 for every person in
the country; collected, mostly from
taxes, $50 per person and borrowed
nearly $50 per person to make up
the difference.
Expenditures Go Up
In the last half OF 1885, repre-
senting the first half of the 1886
fiscal year, expenditures were
farther ahead of revenues than in
the first half of 1885 Expenses in
the six months ended Dec. 81, 1885,
amounted to $3,781 $3.50, 702; revenues
to $1902, 009 500, and the deficit OF
$1,879, ISL, 1893. This compared with
expenditures in the last half of 1884
OF $3,545, 017,914; receipts of $1,845,-
082,517 and a deficit of 81 500 1896, 1897.
For the full 1886 fiscal year ended
June 3d. next, of which half already
has elapsed, President Roosevelt set
expenditures at $7,752,332,O rev.
enues at $4,470, 349, 14O and the def
cit at 1921 ,922 $50. On the basis
of results of the first half of the
fiscal year, expenditures are running
about as expected but revenues are
tagging, largely because of the
100000 900 drop in processing tax
collections.
Treasury officials, however, stated
they expected heavy first quarter
income tax collections in March to
take up large part of the slack
in revenues to date.
Because the government in 1885
was forced to borrow large sums of
money to make up the deficit, the
gross public debt was pushed to an
other all-time record high of
0,557 ,324,063 at the end of Deem
Der, 1885, from $28,478, 663, 1926 at the
end of December, 1884.
