Yacht Races Eipoctcd to Ite-Cemcnt American and Spanish Frlcnrisliii Races This Year Will Be Held In Spanish Waters. Madrid, July 28 The first race of the snoderklasse yachts for the tro phy presented to the SpanlBh federa tion of yacht clubs by F. Lewis Clark, the American yachtsman, will be held tomorrow at San Sebastian. King Al fonso has had a boat especially built for the contest and bel tve that he has a good chance of winning ih trophy. When the American yachtsmen that had raced at Kiel last y :ar visited Spanish waters with their boats and San Sebastian, Bilbao and Santande In a series of sonderklasse comcetl- tlons, H was not only a very sports manlike act, but it more firmly ce mented the new frlsnclshlp existing between the new countries. Among the competitors, both at Kiol and San Sebastian, wan vice. Commodore F. Lewis Clark. Eastern Yacht club, of Marblehead, who felt tnat the American yachtsmen were called upon to show In some tangible way their appreciation of the courte sies and kindness received at the time from their Spanish yachting associates. Finally Commodore Clark decided that the presentation of a racing trophy to the Spanish federation of yacht clubs would be appropriate, and acting upon that decision at once ordered from a firm In Cowes a superb gold cup. which has been given to the federation, not onlv ho cause of the courtesies received, but "as an Incentive to the noble sport oi yo.cnung and to the building up or yacnts in Spain." The memorandum of trlft aecom panying the cud stlDUlates that h federation shall arrange -for annual regattas for the trophy, consisting of not less than three and not more than five races, to be sailed not oftener than once each calendar year. It is open to sailing yachts of di mensions to be fixed by the federa tion, built in Spain, and owned by persons who at the time are members of a yacht club belonging to the fed eration; to be steered by members of said clubs, and the crews of which shall consist wholly of amateurs; and open also to such other yachts built In Spain and sailed by SDanlsh ama teurs as may be permitted by the fed eration to compete. Provided, however, that the first year the said federation may, if it cnoose, arrange that various races for the said cup' be sailed in the waters of San Sebastian, Bilbao and Santan der, so as to insure equality of oppor tunity to the members of the various clubs comprising the federation. But all of the races sailed jhls first year shall constitute and be considered as but one regatta. The cup shall become the absolute property of the person who. as own ers, shall have first won three an nual regattas.

Pony Express Riders Were Pathfind ers hi Pioneer Days Many of the During Men Were Killed and Scalped by Indians. Recently the Salt Luke News re ferred to a book published by an eastern concern on the Pony Express, containing stories of the overland mail and famous rides and riders, says the Pocatello Tribune. A friend of the News writing from Oxford, Idaho, expresses appreciation of the synopsis given of the book, and adds a few reminiscences, some of which correct certain statements of the au thor, which. In the view of our es teemed correspondents, are not en tirely in accordance with facts. The writer says: "The riders' routes were never to exceed 70 miles. Each rider usually rode from 40 to 50 miles. I carried the first pony express myself, from Ruby Valley coming east, to Engan canyon, about April 7, I860. "I held that ride until the fojlovlng July, once a week each way, then carried the express until July, 1861. from Salt Lake City to Faust's station In Rush valley, passing through Camp Floyd each way. Major Howard Egan carried the first pony express from the west to Salt Lake City, and his son, R. E. Egan, carried the first express from Salt Lake City west to Rush valley. Major Howard Egan was the superintendent of the division west from Salt Lake City to Sacra mento, Cal. "Bolivar Roberts, however, was not in the employ of the Pony Express company, as stated. He was at one time division agent on the old Geo. Chorpenlng semi-monthly mall route. George Thatcher never rode west of Salt Lake City, In fact he only rode a very short time from Salt Lake City east to 'Hank's' station. When the Pony Express first started from April to July, 1860, we only male one trip per week each way, after that until the telegraph line was estab lished, the number of ciders were doubled and we made two trips a week each way. "The riders from Salt Lake, going east after semi-weekly service was put on. were Henry Worley and Tom King, the riders from Salt Lake, go ing west to Faust's station In Rush valley, via Camp Ford, were 'Ras' Egan (R. E. Egan) and 'Billy' Fisher.' (W. F. Fisher, myself). "Most of the old riders have pass ed away. I know of only a very few now living. I made one of the long est rides, and fastest for the distance owing to only having nine changes of animals, the Indians having burnt the station, killed some of the riders and run off the horses between Ruby val ley and Salt Lake City. I broaght the express pouches from Ruby valley to Salt Lake City, 300 miles, In 34 hours, I took the election returns. Salt Luke t.) Rush valley (70 miles) In three hours and 40 minutes. "My comrades, or many of them, were killed, some scalped, some burned up, others horribly mutilated Many scenes of horror and Indian outrages are still fresh In my mem ory. Yours truly, "WM. F. FISHER." Very few of the younger generation have any conception of the nature of the work performed by the pathfind ers who made possible the establish ment of civilization In these regions. It Is a subject well worth contem plating. Any contribution that sheds light on the early days of this west ern empire Is therefore welcome.

Hoyle. rioylo wns not really the Inventor of whist, altliousu often so stated to be, but ho was the first who Introduced scientific whist to tlto public. A recent authority suys that very little Is known of Hoylo'g personal history except tbnt he was a barrister by profession and held the post of registrar of the pre rogative In Ireland. Ho was bora In 1.070 and died In Cavendish square In 1707 at the advanced age of ninety-sev en years. Ho received the sum of 1, 000 from his publisher for his treatise on whist, which ran through Ave edi tions In one year and was extensively pirated. Hoyle Is said to have given lessons In whist at a guinea a lesson. Ono of his great points was tho calcu lation of probabilities nt various stages of the rubber. This at first Was deem ed so Important lu guiding players that a famous mathematician used to fre quent the coffee houses (the old sub stitute for the modem clubs) and give his opinion on the state of the odds at any stage lu a game of whist In return for a small fee from the players.

"Somebody snld we oretl't far from an Iceberg, but I don't know whether It's so or not You hear so many false reports on shipboard." "ITave you met the captain yet? I hope you didn't ask blm any foolsh questions, poor man!" "No; I haven't seen a whale yet, but Jhere were lots of porpoises around the ship today." "Who Is that man? I haven't seen blm before. lie must have come on board during tho night" (Always fun ny.) "Did the postman bring you any- thing this morning?" (Sure of a howl.) "Is this your first trip to Europe?

Present Crop Will Pass the Mark Made Last Year. Nez Perce, Idaho, July 28. The grain harvest begun Friday, when A, O. Johnson, four miles east of Kez Perce, Btarted his binder In the finest field of winter barley he has ever grown. It Is estimated that the crop will yield 80 bushels an acre. Sev eral machines will be started Mon day and by August the harvest will be in full swing. The fall grain is ripening rapidly, but as the weather has been exceptionally favorable, with no extreme heat, the crop will ripen In fine condition, and there Is no doubt that the yield will equal and perhaps surpass last year. The grain will be cut with binders this year, as the headers are passing out as the country Improves and the farmers are using science In farming. Several combine harvesters will be used, but the large demand for har vesters shows that the ranchers be lieve that this method of harvesting is really more economical, while the grain reaches market In better condi tion. When the grain Is cut with a binder and shocked, where It remains for several weeks, the air cures the grain, and no danger from souring or heating Is possible, while with the headers or combines, If -all the grain Fortune For Forgers. The last person to suffer death for forgery In London was a Thomas May- nard, who was executed on Dec. 31 1829. It was not, however, until 1832 that the death penalty for the crime was replaced by transportation, though even then an exception was made In the case of forging or altering will. This exception was not removed from the statute book until 1837. In the days of good Queen Bess a forger of deeds was very severely dealt with. He had to stand In the pilhry; his ears were cut off, his nose slit, and be was branded with hot Irons. If he survived these ordeals be was doomed to im prlsonment for the rest of bis days, and everything he possessed In the World was forfeited to the crown. Surely death would have been far more merciful. Waifs Who B.came Famous. The list of waifs who have become famous, says the Delineator, Is a long one. It includes sir Henry Stanley, Queen Catherine she Good, Alexander Hamilton, Rosa Ronbeur, Edgar Allan Poe, Rachel, Leonardo da Vine! and dates back as far as Moses. AH these were homeless children children who if left to their fate would undoubtedly have drifted Into evil ways. Instead they have lived to add glory to their names and bare contributed to the knowledge of the world at large through the fruits of tbelr genius. Smartness.
