Of the professionals, the cleverest
and most successful by far, arc the
women who take advantage of this
particular season to pl.v their trade
knowing that In the great rush of in¬
coming passengers they are, the less
liable to detection. In the old days
the woman smuggler employed false
bottoms In her trunks to conceal vain-
ables and the move artful ware shoes
with high heels hollowed out the spaces
thus made filled with unset Jewels.
These ruses are antiquated now.
The up-to-date smuggler Is a very
clever woman and In one trip during
the busy season can earn enough to
live expensively for the rest of the
year. One of these young ladies board
ed a Liverpool steamer accompanied
by u maid and a large St. Bernard
dog. She posed as a wealthy society
woman with a rich father in one of
the Western cities. She did not say
so tn so many words as sir was very
discreet and quite exclusive us to the
acquaintances sin made on the way
over.
She learned with much chagrin that
the rules of the ship prohibited tho
keeping of her dog in the state room
so that the St Bernard was conslgn-
id to comfortable quarters in the for¬
ward (>at't of the vessel There his
young mistress visited him three or
four times a day always bringing some
dainty from the saloon table. The big
dog looked for these visits and gulped
down the dainties with eager haste.
Tho other passengers thought It real
womanly and generous of the young
lady In taking so much trouble about
the comfort of the St. Bernard.
The Need of « Hog.
When the steamer was within twen¬
ty-four hours of port the young lady
suddenly discovered that the dog was
not well and she ordered the stewards
not to give him anything to eat. The dog
seemed to be In normal health except '
that every hour he grew more restless
with hunger. The ship would arrive at I
'
Quarantine about three in the after- .
noon and on the morning of the last
day of the trip the young lady obtain- i
ed the captain's consent to remove the j
dog to her stateroom.

This was a fine arrangement, but
unhappily a stewardess on board the
ship, a woman of long experience with
j nil kinds of travelers, had about sized

stewardesses, and in fact all the crew

He had been up to the St. Clair
Plats for the day, and as he returned
on the evening boat he boarded a Gra
Hot avenue car with a string of six
large bass In his hand. There were
twenty other people in the car, and as
the fisherman sat down he looked
around with the light of triumph in
his eyes. He had his story at his ton¬
gue’s end, and was waiting to be ask¬
ed if he caught those fish himself,
when a man with a deep bass voice
growled out:
"Yes; I was up there myself last
week and brought home eight. I
bought ’em of a punter.”
A giggle was heard here and there
among the passengers, and then a man
with a squeaky voice observed:
"There ought to be a law against
such things! A man who will lie about
fish will lie about other matters!”
Three or four men nodded acqules-
cence and looked happy, and ao old
chnp with a gray goatee slapped his
leg and exclaimed:
"I’ve played the game myself, but
It, was years ago when I was a bad
man. I bought ’em from the fisher-
man, and brought ’em down home and
lied about ’em—lied in the moat bare-
faced and shameless manner! Yes,
gentlemen, that is one regret of my
life!”
There were the six large bass, and
there was the fisherman, and as he
wriggled around on his seat a man
with a red nose lifted up his voice and
said:
“Gentlemen, I don’t deny that I love
whiskey, but I am not a liar! I get
drunk and smash things, but I rever¬
ence the truth. Before I would lie
about fish I would permit myself to
be tortured at the stake.”
Plight or ten passengers clapped their
hands in applause, and then a hatch¬
et-faced young man rolled up his ey^s
•and; gxclaimed:
“They fibt 'oitly lie to the public, but
go home and lie to their poor, Inno¬
cent wives and trusting children!”
The man with the six black bass
Ntood up and motioned to the con¬
ductor that he wanted to get off, but
before the car came to a standstill a
man who had been half asleep roused
himself and stood up and pathetically
said •
“Gentlemen, I date my downfall
from that one thing—from the first lie
1 told about fish. I hired a man to kill
me a dozen with a crowbar, and then
1 brought ’em home and swore I
caught ’em on my own hook and line.
I lied about It—deliberately and ma¬
liciously lied—and Providence—’’
"All off!" shouted the conductor, as
the car stopped.
The man with the six big black bass
got. down and pulled his fish after him
and stood on the curbstone.
“And Providence punished me for
It,” continued the man on the rear
seat. “Gentlemen, if I was to live my
life over again—if I could only be set
back thirty years—I might rob and
steal and cheat, and even do murder,
but would not sneak off to a sum-
iner resort for the day and then return
at night and buy fish at the wharf and
lake 'em home to my confiding wife
and—”
And the car rolled on, and the man
with the six large black bass stoqd If)
the gloaming and looked after it and
clinched his hands and gritted his
teeth and whispered oust words. And
an hour later a pedestrian stumbled
over something on the sidewalk, and
got up and rubbed his knees and el¬
bows. and called out in amazement:
“Well, I’ll be hanged If some liar
hasn’t stopped here to He and gone
away and left his fish behind!"—De¬

the Englishmen have been trying to cap¬
ture the cup without avail. There are
many skilled yachtsmen here who think
that the chances of the foreigners are bet¬
ter this year than ever before.
It is possible now to present accurate
pictures of both yachts in all manner of
positions. There is no fear on the part
of the owners of either craft, now that
rneir opponents will make use of any se¬
cret in the construction of the yachts,
which a full exposition of the lines migW
show. The date of race is too near at
hand for any Important alterations.
I'here (lie Defender’ll Power Lies.
Thai the Defender will prove ihe super¬
ior of the Valkyrie III., in windward
work, her recent races have satisfactorily
Shown. Her ability to beat to windward
is due to her immense draught, which, fee* in¬
stead of being eighteen feet is twenety
or as much as a great steel-clad war-ship
draws. Looking at the bow on picture of
the Defender, an excellent view of the
bulb shaped keel or fin can be had. Here
is where the great power of the boat
comes In. In his former boats, Herreshoff
always got a great deal of power from a
large area of water lines, round frames
and full lines, but in Ihe Defender he has
gone in for easy form, getting the power
from the great mass of concentrated lead
placed at the lowest point; lower than
ever before placed in a yacht.

boaf in American waters should race on
an even keel. That the Defender is the

siilfest racing machine yet created was
proven in a way that almost alarmed her
admirers on the day she broke her gaff
off Newport after making the last turn.
A hard blast of wind hit her immense
spread of canvas, and instead of bending
to it like the other yachts she stood as
straight as the proverbial cnurch. Under
;he immense strain something had lo give
way and the great sixty-odd foot gaff
snapped like a pipe stem. This was an
.mlooked for catastrophe, but Herreshoff
solved the problem by having another
gaff made of hollow steel. H this works
successfully it will Ire used in the race.
One of the wonders of the Defender is
ter quickness in stays. In a thrash to
windward where short tacks are made,
this will be of great service to her. An
'\an .ination of her lines shows the rea-
son of this quickness. Notwithstanding
ier great draught, she is of very light dis-
placement and shows an easy form to
lrive Her beam is moderate and she
has one of the neate-: ii in ! iM.arrers

A Plain Interior.
As the Defender is purely an out and
out racing machine, her interior is of the
•dainest and simplest character possible.
There Is no attempt at decoration, ihe ac¬
commodations being limited to necessity.
As the yacht was not constructed for
■ruising purposes, there are many things
lacking that one would he sure to find on
he various pleasure craft that frequent
these waters There are berths for the
sailors, a cook's galley, and a cabin for
the owners whenever they choose to oc-
mpy it. but the majority of tho space he-
tow deck is given up to a large sail lock¬
er, Tn other words, the Defender is a rac-
ing machine, and her interior is construct-
ed accordingly From stem to stfrn the
inside of the hull is finished in white zinc
paint, which looks neat and presents a
smooth, glistening surface.
The construction sthows seventy-nlnr

quarters of Capt. Hank Haft, Assistant
Capt. Terry, and Bhe mates. They are
comfortable, but very plain. Below the
combined quarters Is the forecastle.
Just aft the mast is the cook's galley,
which is shut off from the crew's quar¬
ters by a bulkhead of thin wood and can¬
vass. This is about fifteen feet in length,

tire width of 'the boat. It is fitted with

the Britannia by nineteen minutes. Thus,
Ihe Valkyrie has beaten the conqueror of
the Vigilant by a'greater margin than
the Defender has beaten the Vigilant.

The dimensions of the Valkyrie have

that she Is 130 feet over all; 90 feet on the
water line, arid 27 feet beam. Until the

Dike the Defender, who has Oapts. Hank
Haft and Terry as skippers, the Valkyrie
has two captains. William Cranfleld Itf
the chief. He is a big, light-haired, fair-
faced man, a true type of the Saxon sea-
man. All of his family have figured as
expert racing skippers, and he is about the
I>est of t-hem all. He has been in the cm-
ploy of Lord Dunraven for several years.
and has won countless notable races.

a shade under forty, and has been a yacht
captain since hks boyhood. He made his
reputation on the various raoors owned
by the Marquis of Alisa, and he Is class¬
ed with the best skippers of Great Britain.
It is undecided yet what the sail area
of either the Defender or the Valkyrie
will be. The Defender has four suits of
sails, and, as she has proved her ability
to carry an immense spread, it is prob¬
able that she will carry a greater ex¬
panse of sail than lias ever yet been sport¬
ed by a single sticker. Only her owner
