Off Sandy Hook : (By United Prees) . New York, July 15—Two giant igulls, princesses of the sea, ride the Slue swells of the Atiantic today ~with heads bared for the crown that : will make one of them queen. Two slim sloops, pulsing with the Slacst of the old and new world’s dlue blood, stagger under a mountain of canvas awaiting the races for Am- erica’s historic cup and all the hon- wors that go With the greatest trophy -of the seas. " Resolute, the American, the lineal descendant of a family that has held the throne for €9 years will fight 20 drown in a wake of speed Sham- yock 1V, the thirteenth in a line of foreign invaders that have aspired for the crown. With the exception of a smaller .erowd of spectators, the race, three out of five, will be just as colorful, just as spectacular and just as thril- ling as any since 1851 when the Am- erica sailed across the Atlantic and ‘won the cup. Fewer than 20,000 will see the races, it is believed. This is not due 10 a decrease of interest in the classic of the ocean but issthe result of the .scarcity of sight-seeing vessels and the smaller capacity to which the .available ones are limited by the new mafely laws. Private yachts by the score, excur- .sion boats, steamers and all kinds of’ Hght craft and government vessels will line the 30-mile course off Sandy ook from the Ambrose lightship and return. The course will be patrolled by government vessels to enforce the regulations and keep back the spect- ators. 8 The race committee, the officials of . the New York Yacht Club, and the referee will follow the two sloops in a yacht eommanded by Capt. Blix the New York Yacht club’s racing superintendent.

Previous|miljtia. efforts were made in 1899, 1901 and 1903 without suecess. The cost of each yacht is mot .known but it is estimated that each represents the expenditure of at least $175,000, the cost of Reliance, which beat Shamrock IIT in 1903, the last race of the series. Shamrock IV will be sailed by Cap-, tafn William P. Burton, vice-presi- .dent of the Yacht Racing assocfation of Great Britain, one of the most fa- mous amateur skippers of Europe, a veteran of 1,000 races but a new- comer to the ranks of cup skippers. It is a rather strange coincidence that although the challenger is an Trish dloop, thére will not be an Trishman aboard her. Her crew is entirely English and she is English dbuilt and 'dezigned. Two of the crew are Cornishmen and the others are all from Essex. Rear Commodore George Nichols, of the New York Yacht club, a cot- ton merchant in private life, will sail the Resolute. He has sailed racing vachts for twenty years but never has handled a cup defender before. He sailed Vanitie in the trial races fcr the selection of a defendqr and when Resolute was selected he was aprointed the “skipper” in place of Charles Francis Adams who handled her against Vanitie. The crew of ..esolute will consist of a picked number of sailors from both Resolute and Vanitie. BLIGHT AND BUGS MENACE APPLE TREES > Fire blight. which has again at- tacked apple trees in Minnesota in a serious way, finds helpful allies among six or eight varieties of in- sects which inhabit orchards. The insects spread the blight over trees and carry it from tree to tree. The blight itself can not be controlled by the use of sprays but it can be check- ed by spraying for insects. A well sprayed orchard, therefore, is less likely to suffer seriously than an unsprayed orchard. After the blight gets into a tree, the only way to get it out is by the use’ of the knife, pruning shears, and saw and these in- strument should be strelized in a solution of corrosive sublimate after each cutting. Blighted twigs should be cut six or more inches below where the disease shows. ~SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY PIONEER . —— i, IR 0 50 to the races with some friends,” and explained to ber that he was going:fishing.i (On his way he called at a fish shop and asked : the proprietor to send some fish home.
