ended It all. : ; - "
"I met Pauline when I was on a trip
to St Louis. I had stopped at a lodging
house run by her mother. She -'was a
brainy, intelligent woman and she helped
me a lot. She spplied her brains to my
business and help me develop it In
that way we came to be very close to
each other and drifted along as a man

AIT OTHER KIKX OF RACE
It Is treat to be over bere and listen
to experts talk of a "smashing 20 mile
breese. ' Twenty miles ! Which reminds
me that during the cup races they post
poned t the racing One day because the
wind blew 80 miles an hour. Wouldn't
you think that would be . the one day
they would want to go out and race? ,
Some years ago there was a Gloucester
fishermen's race. ; As they were leaving
Gloucester . harbor tne local weather
bureau , man told them that 'the wind
was blowing 60 miles an hour all along
the coast j They thanked him and went
out every vessel swinging both topsails,
and the wind was blowing all of 60 miles
outside, and they held onto their top
sails, and three of them, to make a real
race of it, lashed their halyards aloft
that was so if anybody aboard lost his
nerve and cut the halyards to save the
vessel he would find himself fooled.
A "smashing 80 mile breexe!" - I am
no yachting shark, but as I have been
hired to cover It so V try to put myself
In the place of a few millions who don't
know a throat halyard from a pearl
necklace, and I would like to ask some
body In authority what the main idea
of it is. Is it to see what freak boats
can do under the tightest possible con
ditions, or is it to test the best we have
In the way of ship designing and sea
manship? To have your, gear so it can
stand the buffeting of the sea Is sup
posed' to be a part of a seaman's look
out : or it used to beT at least But one
of these boats parts her throat halyards
and out of the race she goes!
She has at the time more than four
minutes' actual lead on her opponent,
and nearly seven minutes' time allow
ance coming to her 11 minutes in all
to make - repairs . and still be on even
terms with the other boat. . ;.
OLBTIMEBS DIFFEREXT ' '
But out of the race she goes. ': Lord's
sake, have they i no man or two they
can sling aloft if it is only by way of a
bo's'n's chair, to do something. This
playing tag around the starting lightship
ts all pretty to look at, but is that all
we are going to get for an International
tryout? They parted a throat halyard
and the race was over. , .
- Your real old seagoing skipper would
have bad aloft a couple of men one
minute after that happened, with some
kind of a strap to hold that throat In
place. If there was no spare gear to
be had in a hurry, they would have
wrapped their arms or their, leg or their
ears around .it or bit into it with their
teeth one something to hold her over
jntil a new halyard was hove. Or they
would have said, "To the devil with the
halyard, we'll finish without one." :
It was no reefing breeze : why couldn't
they? . ,
WIIfD TO STAT LIGHT
Somebody here may pipe up to say :
"But these are no winter trawlers., to

right, old top, - and ; move's i the - pity.
However, the race is going or., and our
fellows have showed that they know
how to sail a boat and so far they have

the same thing running or reaching? In
light airs, I mean, for so they are likely

It is a great little yachting course, this
one at Sandy .Hook.,, tucked away . in
a nice little triangle, with the Long
island shore protecting it from any

the going too rough. But about the
