it, in fact-but he believes the
yachting critics here for this series
share one thing with the 50,000,000
Frenchmen-they can't all be
wrong.
All through the 1894 Americas
races the men who know the sea
and calls, said Mr.. SOpwith had
the better boat, and lost only be-
cause of amateurish handling
of the wheel. And since this series
started l hae heard nothing but
criticism of his seamanship. In
deed, during all the eight races l
have reported, 1 never have heard
one complimentary thing con-
cerning the Englishman's way
with a boat.
As a result, l am convinced that
the man is a very ordinary sailor.
Not a bad sailor. No, but one who
has come along too fast: made too
quick a nave from the minors to
the majors, SO to speak. You can't
find competent critic who won't
tell you that a man like Sherman
Hoyt, say, couldn't have taken tht
wheel of Endeavour II and made her
real and substantial challenger.
The fact that Sopwith's own ad-
mission, and lick Ranger, would
seem to prove that the skipper
means very much indeed.
Instead of hauling Endeavour II
, out of water yesterday, and search
ing her bottom for an explanation
of her slowness, Mr.. Sopwith
might well have bought himself
a mirror and, poising in front of it,
sought the answer to his failures
in the reflection. 1t doesn't stand
to reason that Charles Nicholson,
designer of Endeavour II and man
who has no peer as class j archi-
tect, could have sent down the
ways a boat as inefficient as the
challenger has proved to date.

Peggy Shippen Arnold was eternal ly loyal in exile to the man she had welded for better or for worse. The bargain she had made at the altar she kept.
 Arnold's plot, miscarrying, brought no profit to British forces. The net result was the hanging of Major Andre as 8 spy. Arnold's re- pute was not rendered less evil thereafter. The rapine of British troops who burned Richmond un- der his command, the massacre by his men of the Yankee garrison of Fort Griswold after its surrender, made his name symbolic of vandal- ism and wanton butchery.
 England, he found, wasted no sentiment on traitors. The good will of George III was slight com- fort. Arnold was presented at court as a wounded hero, supported on the arm of Sir Guy Carleton. He was perceived strolling with the Prince of Wales.
 But at the play, the audience hissed Arnold. He was avoided in the street. He became a minor po- litical issue. The Whigs officially despised him. The Tories, whose man he should have been, found his record too equiyocal to stomach. Once noble lord, Surrey by name, rose to speak in Parliament. Cast ing his eyes upward, he noted Ar mold in the balcony and sat down. T will not speak while that man is in the House," he observed.
 Few doors were opened to the Connecticut freebooter and his beauteous wife. They came to know the agony of loneliness and the worlds disdain. Worst of all, Ar hold was deprived of the chance to ply the trade for which he had a decided and violent genius. He was refused 8 regular commission in the British army. Even in 1798, when alf Britain was mobilized to fight the French, his services were re-

The fourth of the series of six outdoor lectures was heard last night on the south green where people gathered around the pre- ambulating rostrum of the Cath ollie campaigners for Christ. David Goldstein, the principal speaker, was introduced by Marius Risley, his associate. The topic was "The IconoclastS and Mary"
 After paying tribute to Mary, the mother of Jesus, MT. Goldstein dis cussed the use of images in the Catholic church. He said: Images are used in our church as are ira- ages and statues in public squares, to remind us of the personages they represent. They are intended to en- courage us to pattern our lives af- ter the saints, who are the friends of God. Also to encourage lis to pray for their intercession, for we believe, as did St. Paul, in interces- SionS or mediation"
 Blessed Virgin
 The speaker expressed amaze ment that many persons who claim to love the Bible disregard giving honor to Mary, the. mother of Christ. To us she is second only to her devine Son Jesus. Any one who truly appreciates the first chap ter of the book of St. Luke must love the Blessed Virgin Mary. She, according to this book, was honcred as no person had ever before or since been honored by God. Mary was selected from all the women in the world to be the mother of Gods only Begotten Son. Mary, by the power of the Holy Ghost, said that future generations would call her blessed. Thank God we Catt0- lies are of that generation who. cry out to her in the words of God. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art Thou among women", and in the words of the church "pray for use sinners now and at the hour ow our deatll".

He is disobedieflt and not to be honored. Any priest who has not what the church calls faculties, that is pow CTS to perform duties as priest, is discredited and not to be hon. ored. Father O'Planagan is not saying mass while in. the United States because such privilege is only given to priests who are true to their VOW of obedience to their respective bishops. It is father and not MT. O'Flanagan who is bein booked to further the cause of the reds in Spain. Why? to mislead the uninformed.
