RELIANCE WILL BE CHOSEN.
Baginnhig on Friday- of ttys
week th9 three big ninety-foot
sloops of the cup defense class
will have another week of racing
during the annual cruise of the
to port, according to the itinerary
of the cruise but there will be
one race over the course off New
port on Tlmrsday, the 23rd inst.,
for the]jAsboc cup. After these
races, and beginning July 30,
will occur the "official trials" for
the purpose of picking the de
fender bat these latter races
may be dispensed with, as the
Reliance has been winning with
so much regularity in ad kinds
of weather that her selection is
even now a foregone conclusion,
and the committee may abandon
the trial raxes for the purpose of
giving the yacht time to get
ready for the great struggles
which are to begin on August 20.
While American yachtsmen
generally are confident that the
Tn
Shamroc might be fortunate ^ri^Xft!!:
enough to win on flukes if she
cannot do it otherwise. But the
situation is comforting to yachts
men, win or lose, owing to Sir
Thomas Lipton's hint that in the
event of defeat he may challenge
with a schooner, and his further
information that if he is re
warded with victory the first
American challenger is to be
James Gordon Bennett.
A challenge with a schooner
would be a good thing for yacht
ing, as the risks* of handling a
two-masted cra-ft are much
smaller than, the risk of handling
a tremendously overrigged sloop
or cutter. A. challenge by James
Gorden Bennett, should the cup
make a trip abroad, would un
doubtedly be with a schooner.
The famous publisher is a deep
sea yachtsman, whose saving has
been done chiefly in schooners of
the larger class, and if he is
called upon to build a boat she
will certainly be a seaworthy
craft.

vice jags, and giving the necessary
relief from grinding monotony with

THE ORIGIN OF "FUDGE."

description of the cell of Lady Blarney

Skeggs on the Vicar of Wakefield's
household: "But previously I should
have mentioned the very impolite be
havior of Mr. Burchell, who, during
this discourse, sat with his face turned
to the fire, and at the conclusion of
every sentence would cry out 'Fudge!'
an expression which displeased us all,
and in some measure damped the ris
ing spirit of the conversation." Does
the word come from the provincial
French "'ruche" or the, /&> German
"futsch"? Or shall we trace it to the
story of 1700 quoted by the elder
DTsraeli: "There was, sir, in our
times, one Captain Fudge, who always
brought home his owners a good cargo
of lies, so much that now aboard the
