Th bugle blaroa up and down tho corridors and tho captains of companies begin to call up tho sleepers, who leap from tholr cots and commence actlvo operations to dress, and put their rooms In order. Immediately, upon tho buglo call, tho Inspecting officers begin tho work of visiting tho rooms of tho midshipmen to boo that they are out of bed. They must' bo up lind stand at military at tention whon tho olllcer enters. Then the midshipman dresses, opens tho window, and turns 'down tho bedding for an airing, and hurries below for the- firul formation and roll call of the day, which is at 7 a. m. At tho bugle call, the roll begins, and up to the last second bolatod ones are hur- rylng down the steps and "falling in" Just In tlmo to navo themselves from being "reported "tardy!" and demerit ed.

At 8, study and recitation periods commence. They aro of ono hour each.

Tho responsibility for order In a room is fixed by tho authorities requir ing ono man lu each room to take a week's turn at a time, and no matter who Is the ovlldoor, tho authorities know where to lodge tho charge. Soon nftor 12 tho morning period of study and recitation ceases and dinner formation and dinner follow. At 1:30 p, m, begin the aftornoon periods of study and recitation, and at 4:30 prac tical exercises commence.

TRIAL YACHTS ARE FAVORED Yachtsmen Are of Opinion That Four Vessel Should Be Entered In the Elimination Racee. Racing ynchtBtnon of tho United States are of tho opinion that In order to insuro a successful defenso of the America's cup noxt year against Sir Thomas Liptou, It will bo absolutely necessary under tho present condi tions to build no fowcr than four yachts to enter the elimination races, which should tako placo nomo tlmo next August, after contesting In as man races during the summer as pos sible. It is conceded by many thnt build-, Ing a 75-foot sloop under the present rules for tho first time, oven by tho Horreshoffs, Is more or less of a risk whon thoro Is no vesflol of that di mension ready to use as a trial horse. For this reason it la doomed advis able to build as many sloops as pos sible, and by different deslgnurs, bo as to givo both tho yachts arid tholr crews plonty of practlco In racing, that tho beat boat may bo chosen to moet tho Shamrock IV off Sandy Hook next fall.

I., and it Is understood that the keel of tho new boat will bo luld boforo Thanks giving day. It is qulto likely that the keel of the Shamrock IV will be laid about tho same tlmo as that of tho Herres hoff's sloop. As usual, tho utmost secrecy will be maintained from start to finish In tho construction of both yachts, bo that no Information may leak out concerning tho dctnlls of tho design of either hulls or sail plans until they are ready to raco.

Both wrestlers wero disillu sioned November 26, 1906, at tho Brookes' Cnsino, Chicago, when they met in a finish match. After this de feat Fardollo devoted his talents to comedy, and ns a mirth producer has mado countless thousnnds laugh. Gotch had heard that Pardollo was a bono breaker and a prlzo fighter. He was apprised that ho would be fortu nate to escape with both cars Intact and all his teoth fn his head after en countering the latest sensation from Latin Europo. Tho night of the match found the pavilion packed almost to suffocation. Fardellb rushed at Gotch like a wild man when the referoo signaled tho start, but Gotch side-stopped him. Gotch went to bis hands and knees, lifted Fnrdello In tho air and hurled him to the mat. This was tho signal for Pardello to employ tho rough tac tics for which he was noted. He gouged Gotch with his olbow and slugged him in tho mixups. The crowd hissed Pardello, but Gotch had learned his opponent's actual strength and" took thoso thrusts lightly. Soon, however, Pardello showed his temper and resorted to tho Marquis of Quecnsbury codo. He came to his feet and made a swing at Gotch and tho crowd again hlsBed. Gotch lunged and brought Pardello to tho mat again. Gotch was working for a hold to se cure tho flrnt fall.

That proved the downfall of Pardol lo as an aspirant for the highest wrestling honors.

There waa a sharp snap audible to those at the ringside. Pnrdello, with a groan, it'll to tho mat in defeat. An examination showed that n ligament had been snapped, but tho garno Italian camo back for the second fall, which Gotch won In a few sec onds. Gotch made a speech, In which ho told the crowd ho deeply regretted the accident to Pnrdello. It was one of the fow times tho world's champion has lost his tempor on tho mat. "Tho day after the match," says Gotch, "a friend of mine met Pardello hobbling about the streets of Chicago. " 'What do you think of Gotch now?' my friend asked him. " 'Gotcha?' was his answer. "Why, Gotcha, he very fina da fell. He get ona the mata and go toa da wrestle. Gotcha, he cracka da Joke. Ono fina da Joke. I stoppa to laugh. Gotcha, ho catcha my foota and twist him upa da backa. Oh, yes, Gotcha, he very fina da fell.'" After this match Pardello seemed to take a proprietary Interest in the champion. After every match Gotch had in Chicago his wrestling tights disappeared. Pardello took them for souvenirs. After his lasj match in Chicago Gotch ordered a boy to get his tights and sco that they were carried to his hotel. Pardello noticed that the boy had them In charge. After Gotch departed from tho dressing room ho approached the youngster and took tho grip, saying Gotch had ordered him to carry It to his hotel. Thus he secured an Imposing addition to hia trophy room that night. (Copyright. 1013. by Joseph p. Bowles.)
