In the rat class Dione had another very easy win. The bra-ze zeemed to suit her and she ob tained a commanding lead in the first ten miautes. Of Causeway Bay she carried away her jib bulyards and the Veron crossed ahead of her while the damage was being repaired. but the next time the boats cross-tacked it us ken that Dione had recovered the lead Alannah, though going well, was hopelessly outclassed by the other two sad never had a

Some time ago Mr. Frisk purchased from the Schenley effate a plot óf sixteen acres of ground directly opposite the Carnegie Institute.

It has ways been one of the rules of Carnegie, in making donations, to stipulate that the city sball furnish the site and pay for maintenance.
