The yachting season of 1911 is now in full hast; everyone who * owns a pleasure craft whether it he a 16-foot motoi boat or a 250-foot ocean going ste; mer, is enjoying the delights of beinj on the water. It is the time of t) e year when the year when the yatchman comes in for his own anc enjoys the sport of kings and ,the h mg of sports. During the p .st few years, owing to the perfectioi of the gasoline mo tor, the sport o. yachting has grown by leaps and b< unds. There are in the United Stal >s nearly 600 yacht and motor boat clubs*, with an aver age inembers-hij of close to 200. There is a wi le range in types and sizes, ranging rom the big, grace ful, square rigg ?ed Aloha, owned by Commodore Jar es, of the New York Yacht Club, an 1 magnificent steam craft as large a the biggest coast ing steamers tc 16-foot motor run abouts. The i .tiling fleet, sloops, schooners and yawls, number hun dreds, while tl are are innumerable craft of other r gs, such as cats, ket ches, canoes, et:. Yatchs of to lay may he divided Into general cl sses, such as steam, motor auxiliary and sail, but in the latter class th< re is a gradual fall ing off, the inst .lation of motors con . verting them ii to the class above. Interest in 'atching has always been in races, islde from the inter national event*, and ocean racing has always be n popular. The an nual events fr< m New York to Ber muda for craft of less than 60 feet water line are notable. The annual race from Ca lifornia to Honolulu, 2,232 miles, h of much interest to the Pacific yar. atsmen. The intern tional contests be tween the Unl' >d States and Canada, sailed on the ( reat Lakes have done their share ir the development of the small yac t, while the Sonder class events between this country Germany, and Spain have been en tertaining and productive of good fellowship, to say the least. Every, yacht club ho', is at least one regat ta each year. The history of steam yatching in this country d tes back only to 1851 when the Cob nel John Stevens was built at Phila ielphia by Capt. R. F. Loper. She w as 92 feet long; but i*. was the p< ddle wheeler, Firefly, that was buill in 1854 that had the honor of bein^ the first steam craft to be properl i classed as one of a fleet belongin : to a recognized yatch club. ^Following he Civic War the ad vance in stea n yachting was quick J and there we -e built crafts like W. K. Vanderbib's Valiant that is 332 feet long am registers 1,823 tons. Today there e re fifty or more yachts of this type, ill of them capable of making cruis* 5 around the world.

She car ries 6,000 tons of coal and, at 12 miles an hour, has a steaming radius of 6,000 miles. When at her best she makes 21 miles an hour. Yachtsmen nave taken the tur bine engine, too, and in Mr. C. K. O. Billings' Vanadis is a splendid ex ample of the ocean cruiser. She is 277 1-2 feet long and makes 16 1-2 miles an hour. The Little Sovereign 133 feet long with a speed of 33 miles an hour, is a splendid example of the express steamer, ;embodyinp( many of the comforts of a home afloat. At the outbreak of the Spanish American war the Government was in dire, need of small craft of speed, I and the authorities looked to the ' yachtsmen.

Even a tugboat, the Hud son, manned by revenue officers, was made to perform heroic service at Cardenas in dragging off the torpedo boat on which Lieut. Bagley lost his life. With the development of steam yacht came the demand for speed and the express type was evolved. This broifght out such boats as the Arrow that was turned out just ten years ago and which reached the phenomenal speed of 40 miles an hour, a speed record that yet holds good for yachts, though torpedo boats have equalled it. The fastest steam yacht of her size is the Gero, a 31-footer built last fall at Cleveland. She made a mile in 1.32, which is a fraction more I than 39 miles an hour.

"AJoh<2 "/f.KKC craft there has been a great advance not only in shape but in refinement of lines and in the incedase of pow er until boats of 40 feet, like the Dixie, can make 36 miles an hour. Th?in there is the hydrophobia that skims on the surface and is capa ble of igreater speed. Sixty-shooters like the Ursula have been crtdited with 45 miles, a speed that is won derful for a boat of that length. An English motor boat is now being built to make 56 miles an hour. The next development was the sea going cruiser of 50 feet and over. The first motor boat to cross the At lantic was the Seth B. Low, a 50 footer. Her crew suffered great hardship, but they were successful. In 1907 the first motor boat race from New York to Bermuda was held between 50-footers The Alisa Craig won the race and also the race of 1908. In 1909 the victory went to the Heather, a 58-footer. In 1910 the 60-footer, Ilys, was victorious. Not satisfied with the 650 mile 120 horsepower each. This motor boat has her own lighting and re frigerating plant and has a cruising radius of 1,500 miles at 20 miles an hour. Yachts of this type are equipped with everything possible for comfort and convenience, such as bathrooms with hot and cold water and sea in takes, running water in statesrooms, etc. Indeed on these larger boats there are all the comforts of a first class hotel and lucky is he who can afford to go down to sea in such a ship. in the bunch, "Red Meat" tob pice?no excessive sweetening? ist good old North Carolina to :tly sweetened.

Wingate, of Melgs, Ga.f writes the Atlanta Constitution as follows: "I don't see the warnings in the newspapers to the farmers to hold and market the crop slowly that I commonly see at this season of the year. Even the Farmers' union peo ple are not hafing much to say on this line. I would like very much to see The Constitution and all other leading nerspapers that are friendly to the cotton producer, fire some hot shot in that direction; for no doubt there is one of the greatest ef forts being made to get the present crop for almost nothing that has been made in a long time. The bear crowd will succeed if the newspapers and farmers don't put up a ionig strong, hard fight for the next sixty days, because, on account of the early maturing variety'tHt,il of the early dry spring, cotton matur ed an early bottom crop. But the bot tom crop Is practically all that is made, and this crop will only be u twelve million bale crop in spite of the government's fine condition re ports. Rain has been plentiful since the latter part of June, and for the past thirty days there has been too much ht sunshine mied with the rain. Today there are great fields of cotton in this section with not a green leaf on it If it had only con tinued dry through the growing sea season there would have befn ? fif teen million bale crop. This no ' doubt, will sound very foolish to people who don't know that it takes a hard dry year to pro duce a heavy crop of cotton. Refei hack to the year 1904, the dryest year the cotton belt has ever known, and you will see that we produced the largest crop in our history. I trust you will vigorously handle this matter." THE NEXT WAR CRY. What the Republicans Will Face in Next Campaign. Curing the debate in the Senate in the cotton bill Tuesoay, Senator Cum mings, an Insurgent Republican from Iowa, speaking on the amend ment which he proposes to offer re ducing the duties on iron and steel declared that the war cry of the next campaign would be "are we to have protection for the manufacturer and free trade for the farmer?" He de clared the Republican party would have to answer that question to the country. I "The great fight in the coming Na tional Convention," he predicted, "will not be over a candidate, but over the platform as to what protec tion is." Mr. Cummings made light of the tariff board, declaring he "could prove by evidence far superior to the conclusions of any tariff board or any outside investigating body, that the reductions he proposed in the iron and steel schedule of the tariff law were reasonable." Senator Dixon, of Montana, ex pressed the opinion that the Repub lican party would not be able to write a tariff law which the people would accept, granting protection to one part of the nation and placing the other part on a free trade basis. CLEVER WITH FINGERS. Mail Clerk Could Tell What Letters Contained Money. Postoffiee inspectors say over 1000 letters, containing small sums of money, 'have .been taken from the ?mails by Franklin B. Scott, a negro, a night distributor at the post of fice in Cleveland, 0. Scott had six unopened letters in his pocket when arrested, the officials say. Scott was able to pick out letters containing currency with astonish ing accuracy. His finger tips were abnormally sensitive and he had trimmed his nails so that the nerves were nearly exposed. It was his slender, tapering fingers that led in spectors to suspect Scott. He pleaded guilty before United States Commissioner Walther and was held on $2,500 bond.
