That is now emt of tho question Onr British eonsins hare grown **.earv?t>f trying to capture the America's Cup with big cutters; the new deed of gil. holds ont scant inducement for a smaller cutter tocmnete, and so th*v lu ve decided not to try at all. but content themselves with applying bad names to the document winch was not devised for tbe express purpose of pleasing them. It is a pity, because there is g crest deal of sport Md profit in an internatioiral yacht race and it eement* friendly feeling, for the more wo beat John Bull th* better wo like him. Larkin:* tho in? centive of sn international race, no now competitor far first-elass honor* will appear this ggaantn Nothing l"#s thin patriotism will promit a mau to build a first-claa* sloop.

The man who bought his clothes in the treacher? ously mild two weeks just before the billiard is .till waiting for a chance to wear them. Yet. the tailors and outfitters insist that spring is here nnd their show windows would almost make one think it was long pnst BJPOttT Not in many years have the furnishing shops been Blind with such gnrgrous waistcoat materials, snell flamboyant scarfs, shirts lind other outward apparel. A college boy's tennis blazer is nothing to one of this season's shirts, either linen or flannel, and la width, depth and variety of dye. Their stripes far outdo the prudent Joseph's coat of many colors. Ties and collars, made to match, fill the show cases with equally luxuriant shades and tints. All the wanatta Olid flats of midsummer are insid". It is only when one turns away that he renumbers the dirty piles of snow still melting in the streets.

The color and pattern ure the same, however, and only a close ;ns**octiou will show the differences. This new garment has several adVantagn over tho old one. It can he tolled up and put in a valise; it tits much better and docs not boil so easily. It never ahould be s"iit tn lb' lau aili".-, either.
