Nor was the bleeze lacking for it was necessary to take a double reef in the sails on account of the abundance of that re quisite. It was a real race and there is no question about that, and con sisted of three trips around the reg ular course. There were two prizes for the winners and the skill that the skipperettes displayed in their ardent quest for the trophies made the "old salts" quake with fear lest they be called upon to compete with their wives in the good old sport.' The race was won by Mrs. Dave WlthereH, and second place, was cap tured by Mrs. Oscar Sheppard. Mrs. Witherell received a handsome glove buttoner as first prize and Mrs. Shep pard won a beautiful framed motto as second prize. Mrs. Witherell had as her crew Capt. Dave and his son, Ray Leau, who by the way, had a birthday anniversary yesterday. He fittingly celebrated the same by enlisting as a member of his mother's crew and help ing her to win the race. Capt. Oscar acted as crew on the second best craft of the 3ay. Mrs. Charles Cottrell rounded the home buoy in third place and her crew consisted of Miss Virginia Walk er and Capt. Charlie. Mrs. William McDonald was fourth with Mrs. Hen dricks and Capt; Bill as crew, while Mrs. Dan Shepard with Capt. Dan as crew, won fifth honors. :- Next Sunday the members, " their families and guests will participate in an open cruise over to the quaran tine station, providing the weather will permit. This invitation has been extended through the courtesy of Dr. Kennedy, who also will furnish his launch, the Genevieve, to help carry j the crowd over to the station. i The sloops will be sailed over and i possibly there will be races sailed dur ing the day. The red fish are reported to be rather active around the quar antine station now, and no doubt the rod and reel will be the order of the day with a number of the party. This Is going to be a basket cruise, but Capt. Dave Witherell is going to be along, and being a past master at the art of preparing fish chowder, he will be called upon to assume the culinary duties of the occasion. The boats that will transport the crowd over to the station are Doc. Kennedy's Genevieve, H. T. Merwin's Badger, Capt. Watson's Annie W and the Marcia, belonging to Chas. Ket chum and Bob Hixon.

In every large city of America, and many smaller ones, nightly prgies of drunk enness and lewdness, such as preceded the downfall of these once clean and virile civilizations, may be witnessed. These extend far Into the morning hours and are -casting their polluting influence over all classes and every section. Shall we be able to stay the downward tendency before the whole core of the social order is rotten? These matters will be discussed In plain speech In a discourse on the sev enth commandment at the First Bap tist church Sunday evening by the pas tor. Dr. Moncrief. This is the sixth sermon In a series on "Modern Morals Measured by the Ten Commandments." The discourses have been straightfor ward Interpretations of the laws of Sinai and their application to present day living, and they have been attend ed by large congregations.

AMCft A OO., Ltd., Prop. (Special to (The Journal) MILTON, Nov. 18. The largest ban quet' ever recorded in the history of Milton took place at the Masonic hall tonight when 175 people assembled around the festive board and enjoyed the event which brought a fitting close to the membership contest that has been going on for several weeks between the reds and blues of the Business Men's Bible Class. There were a number of addresses by local men and they were well re ceived. The principal speaker of the evening was Dr. A. J. Moncrief of the First Baptist church of Pensacola, who gave a splendid talk fitting to the oc casion. Besides the addresses of the evening the participants were treated with a delightful musical program con sisting of both Instrumental and vocal selections. This was decidedly the biggest event of its kind ever held in this city, and it was a grand success in every re spect. The gathering consisted of the members of the Men's Bible Class and their wives, and the Confederate Vet erans of the local camp who were special guests of the class. During the early stages of the mem bership campaign of the class Rev. I. I. Roberts, pastor of the Baptist church, under whose auspices the class was organised, decided to divide the body into two teams, the reds and the blues, in order to increase the et fectiveness of the campaign and insure its success. The losing team was to entertain the winners with a big ban quet and the verdict voiced by the par ticipants of tonight's event is that the i most exacting would have had cause to be satisfied. Preparations had been made for 200 guests but owing to the fact that a large number of local people were out of the city attending another event, the attendance fell a little below the 200 mark. The Milton people are Just ly proud of their Men's Bible Class, as it has the distinction of being one of the largest in West Florida. Al though the class was organized and is being conducted by the Baptist church, its members represent every denomination in the city regardless of faith or profession. The class has an enrollment of 139 members and meets each, Sunday morning in the county court house with Prof. L.. R. Sims of the local high school as teacher. The extreme height of ocean waves is estimated at 30 feet, and their length from 600 to 700 feet.

It is rather early for Christmas let ters yet, but The Journal has this to promise the children the St. Nicholas Girl will be with them as she was last year, and the year before that, and many other years before that, and she will bring them the same measure of happiness that she has scattered in the past. Again -this Christmas season. Miss Leila Abercrombie will be Pensacola's St. Nicholas Girl, with Miss Modeste Hargis acting as her able and tactful lieutenant, and treasurer of the chil dren's Christmas fund. Last year a great number of boys and girls were cared for at the St. Nicholas Girl's Christmas celebration, and It is expected that an equal num ber will be made happy this year. The St. Nicholas Girl's Christmas narty has become a Tensacola Institu tion, and from a movement which was the outgrowth of the interest of a young girl and a woman Interested in children, it has grown to be a commu nity Interest, which will probably never die. Miss Ella "Ward cf New Orleans was The Journal's first St. Nicholas Girl, the idea of adapting the St. Nicholas idea to Pensacola being that of a member of The Journal staff. Miss Ward was succeeded by Miss Ada White, who is now Mrs. George Nicholson, and when , Mrs. Nicholson moved to Brooklyn to make her home, she was succeeded by Miss Lelia Aber crombie, who had been her devoted assistant. Miss Abercrombie has been'Pmsa cola's St. Nicholas Girl since that time, with the exception of two occasions when she was out of the city, when a trroup of lovely girls, members of the Patriotic league, under the direction of Mrs. Henry Jeudevine, took charge of the celebration. Miss Hargis has worked with Miss Abercrombie so faithfully that she also has come to be known as one of Pen saeola's St.'Nicholas Girls. The work will be carried on by them this year, as vsual. and as has been the c-stom for a number of years, a community Christmas tree will be a feature of the celebration. This tree has been donated and lighted by the Pensacola Electric com pany for several years, this being their contribution to the St. Nicholas Girls' celebration, and it is understood that the electric company will , be equally generous this year. PHILLIPS TO BEAT HELPS ERSKINE CLEMSON TEAM (By The Acsociated Press) CLEMSON COLLEGE, N. C, Nov. IS. Dode Phillips, Erskine full back, wound up his gridiron career in a blaze of glory here this afternoon, by scoring two touchdowns, which enabled Erskine to defeat Clemson, 13 to 0. Phillips was the star of the day, plung ing through the Clemson line for prac tically all of Erskine's gains, tossing some pretty forward passes and doing all of his team's kicking. Clemson fought hard and came near scoring in the second half, but were held for downs on Erskine's four-yard line once and hid several forward passes inter cepted by Phillips when they were in Erskine's territory.
