NEWPORT , n. I. , Aug. IE. Under the
clearest of skies nnd in as flno n topsail
breeze as could < bo wished Columbia put tbo
finishing touches to Its scries of trial races
against Defender In the presence of the
New York Yacht club fleet today , winning
the twcnty-one-mlle race by 8 minutes and
G',4 seconds. The fickleness ot the brcczo
caused disappointment and the race , which
looked at tha start as if It wcro going to
bo a splendid one , developed Into n. lazy
drifting match , The race was given by the
New York Yacht club as a wlndup for the
annual crulso , BO far as racing Is con
cerned , and cups which were designated ns
'wlndup cups" were offered as prizes for
ho competing yachts. In addition to
schooners and sloops all the yachts In this
district had a llttlo race of their own , the
irlzo being a handsome silver trophy offered
> y Commodore J. Pierpont Morgan of the
New York Yacht club ,
Then thcro was considerable Interest in
ho schooner class , in which Amorlta and
Qutsctta competed. Of course Columbia won
fem Defender and It appears that the peo-
pln down this -way nro getting rather tired
of seeing these .big single stickers race , for
ho fleet that witnessed the contest was not
nearly aa largo 03 yesterday.
Some Other Winner * .
Amorlta won easily from its rival , Qul-
sltta. In the thirty-foot da rs the Carolina
won by skillful handling. The start made by
Columbia and Defender has never been
equaled by such large boats In nny race. A
> are two seconds separated them when they
rushed over the line , carrying clouds of
canvas aloft. For a few seconds they hold
on oven terms , but Columbia having the
weather berth cut off Defender's wind Just
enough to check It a llttlo and ns they both
crossed a quarter of. Columbia's hull waa
showing by Defender's bow. A moment later
3efendcr waa astern and Columbia heading
for the flag mark off Point Judith with a
ead of a good length. From there on it
was elmply a steady gain for the now boat.
The Columbia won by eight minutes nnd two

OP A
Encountered a Kro t ! > y I'nntiliiK Soap
on Southern CrackcCn ,
"Tho best of us make mistakes at times , "
eald the fakir to the Detroit Frco Press
man. "I think the funniest mistake I over
made was last fall while I was donn south.
"I was not doing very well there , and
had about mada up my mind to como north
when I heard of a country faitnnd horse
trot tnklng place in ft llttlo town about
j fifty miles from where I was. The party
to whom I was Indebted for the information
also told mo that at Bit oh a tlmo oven tha
poorest of the crackers managed to scrape
Ji J few dollars together to enjoy themselves
with ; so I decided to attend the affair nnd
prevent the native * from losing their money
betting on the races.
"I simply chuckled to myself when I saw
the material I had to deal with and I do-
cldod off hand that if thoyjiad nny money
\\hen I got through with them I was not
the man I thought I was.
"I was playing the soap game at the time.
You know what U is. You wrap a bill
around a small cake of soap , nnd with ft
llttlo siclght-of-hnnd work you prevail upon
some suskcr to buy another cake of soap
under the Impresslcn that ho Is buying the
ono containing the bill. Well , I opened up
nnd was soon surrounded by a curious crowd
of natives.
" 'Now gentlemen , ' I said , ns I wrapped
a twenty-dollar bill around a cake of soap ,
'you see I place this twenty-dollar bill
around the soap like this , then wrap It up
In this piece of paper , drop It in the box
with the others and give you the choice of
nny cake of soap In the > box for $5. '
"But not n solitary cracker bit at the
game. In vain I used nil my wiles. At
last , thinking the amount anight bo moro
than any of them possessed , I dropped the
price to a $1.
"At tile point a sport who was following
the races cnmo up nnd looked mo over.
" 'Well , you are a Jay of Jays ! Say , don't
you know that a cracker has no use for
soap ? Cut up n plug of tobacco and try
them with that. ;
"I followed his advice and did a rushing
business for the rest of the day. "

A whisky barrel of the highest grade costs
from $2.50 to $2.75 , nnd It is the most ex-
penslvo of all barrels , says the Roanoke
World. It Is made of heavy , selected , kirn-
drlcd oak , frco from sap a handsome nnd
substantial package. Such barrels are made
In great cooperages In the west , In the
neighborhood of the distilleries , nnd In
proximity , when possible , to the forests from
which the materials for them are taken.
Whisky barrels of the best grade used to
cost from $1 to $5. Machinery has been
brought more and more Into use In making
them , with the result that they are now
cheaper than ever before.
These barrels are Mkely to bo filled with
whisky nnd stored for three years or more
before they nro shipped. When n barrel
has found Its way to this market nnd IntS
the hands of the final distributer and has
been emptied. It is bought by a dealer In
barrels. There are coopers and dealers in
new nnd secondhand barrels who buy all
the barrels that offer , and send out nnd
gather up barrels , which they buy nnd sell
in great numbers.
Bought in this manner , the whisky barrer
Is Inspected and put In order. If It requires
nny repair , nnd sold , It may be , to a whole
sale dealer In liquors , to bo used for blended
llauors. but It Is much more likely not
again to be used as n liquor package , but to
be sold for a vinegar or a elder barrel. In
this use It is not likely again to get as far
away from New York ns the point whence
it originally came , and when it gets back
hero and has , been again emptied It Is Bold
again to the dealer. In the course of its
use and travel \t \ may corno to need repairs ,
a new staVe orHwo , or new hoops. It Is
put in ordbr and1 sold again.
When it hasWosed to be useful as n vine
gar or a clderj barrel , gradually wearing out
and becoming cheaper. It Is sold as a pickle
barrer qr for sauerkraut , and finally It Is
likely to become a tar barrel , and after that
it is broken up and destroyed.
Not counting the time that It may spend
In storage before Its first shipment , the
whisky barrel is likely to last through the
various stages of its existence , from the
tlmo it starts out until the end , two or
three years , though much depends upon the
care taken ot It ; carefully handled It may
last ten years or more. The whisky barrel
holds forty-flvo gallons.
There Is a cheaper whisky barrel , also
made ot oak , but of lighter materials , that
costs from $1.50 to $2 , which is used largely
by eastern distillers. Great numbers of the
heavy barrels are used , larger numbers still
of the lighter barrens , which , like the heavy
barrels , are made In cooperages In the
neighborhood of the distilleries In which
they are first used , ot materials drawn from
the forests of the region In which they nro
situated , or of shooks brought from the
west. The life of the lighter barrel Is about
the same as that of the heavier barrel , and
it Is put to the same uses. Of the lighter
barrels , however , thousands , after the first
emptying , nro said to go to Scotland.

After Innumerable delays the Board ot Ed
ucation has finally taken steps to repair
some of the school bulldlncs. Less than
thirty days remain 'bofora the schools open
for the fall term and the work of making
alterations and repairs nlll Imvo to bo
pushed It the rooms nro to bo ready for oc
cupancy by September 11.
Last March Member Wyman offered ft resolution
elution which was adopted requiring the
committee on buildings nnd grounds to
make an examination of all of the school
bulldlncs nnd mnko a report of the repairs
needed at the first nicotine In April , The
Intention was to Imvo the cost of repairs nnd
Alterations estimated and bids advertised for
so that the contractors could go to work ns
soon ns the schools closed for the summer.
This early action was deemed necessary by
some of the members for the reason that
the heatlnc and ventilating plants at the
Drown Park nnd 'Albright schools would
have to bo thoroughly overhauled.
For reasons best known to themselves the
members of the 'board ' did not Insist upon a
report from the committee and one was
never submitted until Just recently. Now
cverythlnc will have to bo rushed In order
(
to prepare the rooms.
Orders wcro Issued Monday nlcht by the
board for the fixing ui > of basement rooms
In four of the schools nnd iblds for this
work will bo advertised for. lllds arc also
asked for painting the .Interior of the High
school annex and the exterior of the Al
bright school. The board will receive bids
for the papering of thirty school rooms and
the cleaning of paper on the walls of a num
ber of other rooms.
As these advertisements for bids will run
nt least flvo days the ( bids cannot very well
bo opened until next iMonday evening , thus
reducing the time for making repairs a full
week.
Superintendent Wolfe has recommended
that the High school annex uo placed In
first-class condition , ns ho proposes to have
the A , B nnd C classes of the first grade
attend school In this building. This move
Is considered ono in the right direction , ns
It will take all of the smaller children from
the High school building nnd place them In
a small bulldlnc 'by ' themselves. No pupils
below the second grade will bo taught at
the Hlch school building. This action of
Superintendent Wolfe Is being commended
by parents on account of the report that
the High school building Is a fire-trap. Lit
tle i > ro2ress Is bolng made toward the erec
tion of the proposed school building In the
Second ward on account of the delay In se
curing a title to the ground. The board has
virtually approved the plans prepared by
Architect Kiewlt , nnd when the deed Is
turned over bids for grading nnd erection
and completion can bo advertised for. It Is
understood that the delay in turning over
the deed Is duo to the absence from the city
of the owner of one of the lots purchased.
J. O. Allen , who acted as agent for the own
ers of this property , has ( been requested by
the ( board to be prepared to turn the deed
over next Monday night. In case this is
not done the sale may fall through , nnd
then the whole ground will faavo to too
gene over again or else the project of erect
ing a new building abandoned for the time
being.
Improvements Wanted by
Residents In the eastern portion of the
city are preparing to make a request to the
city council for eomo Improvements In that
section of town. Electric street lights are
wanted at Thirteenth and Missouri avenue
and also at Twenty-second nnd L streets.
It Is also desired that some attention be
paid to the streets , aa the heavy rains hava
greatly damaged the roadways. It ia as
serted that the. road Is nearly washed away
at Fifteenth and Missouri ave'nuo. The side
walks In this locality are reported to bo In
a bad condition and the city will be asked
to do some repairing on them. A largo
number of new houses have been erected
in this section within the last year and more
are projected and the eastslders naturally
think thah they are entitled to some of the
Improvements which are going about.
Ojierntloim nt Armour' * .
The grading operations at Armour's are
not proceeding as rapidly as was expected ,
although considerable dirt has already been
moved. Owing to an error In locating the
traps the recent heayy rain , did considerable
damage to the excavations and made some
extra work necessary. When the traps were
arranged no provision was made for drainage
and a cave-in of a portion of the excavation
was the result.
It Is reported that In connection with the
buHding of the new warehouse the smoke
houses which are now under construction
will bo enlarged and extended east aa far
as the east end of the box factory.

tered , was opened by some ono with a chlstl
