THE STORY OF THE YACHT
RACE.
An Eas'ern contempora- y re
mtrka : *‘l( is curious as «ell as
amusing to observe the
terest manifested by tne fair sex
in the yatching craze They bring
to it all the inthnsinsni amt feeling
which women usually exhibit when
they become partizans, ami it is
surprising, too, to see how quickly
and accurately they master the
nautical phraseology, which one ex
peels only from professionals at
the clubs." Yes, it is quite euri
ous; in fact, alb tie more so.
Even at this distance from the
scene the interest manifested by
the fair sex in yacht races is very
grou., as will be noticed from the
following conversation recently
overheard in a street car :
“O Lucy, wlmt do you think of
the yacht race '!"
‘•lndeed l don’t know much
about it, how was it ?”
“(), don’t you ! Charley was up
as usual las f night, you know, aud
ho told me all about it. you know
he takes a great interest in those
things,"
"Yes, 101 l me about it.”
“Well, when flic Puritan started
she stood on her starboard track
and broke it,"
“No! what’s a starboard tiack?’
“I don’t know, but proity soon
the Gonesta lulled her spinnaker
boom and passed a red buoy on
the port Bide."
“A red boy? An Indian, was
it?" interrupted Lucy.
“1 don’t know . I’ll ask Charlto.
aud then they both Stoud on I lie
starboard truck awhile till the Pu r
itan’s topsail got mixed with the
stern sheets "
i‘Wbat are the stern sheets ?"
“I don’t kuow, I’ll ask Charlie—
and the Genesta stood on some
more tracks, and the Puritan hold
hor own "
“Held her own what T"
“1 don’’, know, I’ll usk Charlie—
and tmu the Puritan held her
own until the Genesta was a mile
to the leeward ”
“Pho leeward, what’s tl at V
“1 don’t know, I’ll ask Charley—
and by that lime they both broke
tracks with each other, and ”
‘•Broke tracks; thut was bad."
“Yea, very bad, and thon they
rounded some more buoys and
the Puritan went in corsets, aud
’ * •*» Ml*.i •w»
“Wlmt! went in corsets ?’’ re
peated Lucy; shocked,
“No not curstts went in the
slays is what Charley said; but it
is the same thing, and then the
Puri an came out ahead, and the
yachts ”
“Tho yachts—what are yachts,
my dear.”
“(), I don’t kuow, I’ll ask Char

Aud here we had to got oIT tlm

SOLVED THE PUZZLE.
The other night a merchant in
a villiago in Ohio was discovered
in his store at an uuuiually late
hour and in r <ply to inquiries he
