Sir Thomas Linton isn't an ovei poweiing loidshlp bv anv means. He doesn't look "Hngllshj." Some bow he has a Connecticut flavor and at tlnievt his face lemlnds one of Gen eiul Gobln, although he is a vounger man. His face Is rather rudilv, as becomes a jacht-man's. his nioustaehe and Impel ial aie likewise waim In hue a is also Ills ball. The othei morn ing he was attired in lough tweeds and had his hands in his pockets in a ei.v careless fashion, and lie loeiked not at all like the shiu-shaue mariner xou bee In Oliver Iselln in his dark blue j'aehting costume and nristociatlo pose. Sir Thomas slouches a little in Ills gait and appaiently jiujs small heed to ap jieaiaiiees lu connection with an Im pending jMcht lace. Hut be can beam on j-oii genially and giasp j-our hand like a man and a biother when Intro duced. Somehow after seeing him von can suddenl.v leallze the possibility of this man with bis keen ej-es and 1 lever brain devising the "jilnk tea," that wonderful Yankee idea that was the foundation of his fortune, for xou le member that this man when a poor Iiish lad, a lunawaj- from an Ameri can lice field, going back to London, conceived the .scheme which rtallj made Sir Thomas Llpton He begged nnd boitowed fiom susnlclous lelatlves a hundied bounds. He bought two lut lgs, had them wa-hed and bhavrd until their pink hides glpamed through the sllveij- bilstles, adoined them with pink llbbons and had them dilven thlough London town bv two pink and white cind attendants, eaeii pig beating a banner stating "I am going to Lin ton's pink tea," The tea was at th" prettily decorated tea house, duplicates of which weie aftervvaul established about the great cltj Then lavish ad vet Using did the lest. Sir Thomas is today worth millions and millions and has given millions nvvny. Ma A very dlffeient individual in ap peal once is Loid Charles Heresford. the udmlial of tho Biltlsh nnv v. Hound and fat and chubby n a lotd u.njo , be lmpi esses you at once us some notable personage. Lord Heiesfoul acts like any other nice old comtortable gentleman with n good conscience und a docile liver. Mondaj' morning he wore a big black top-coat with a broad collar of as ttachan that was so fine as to be Persian lamb. His smooth shaven. Jolly face was set off by a cap of dlf feient mould from that ntfected bv Ametienn jachtsmen, and he had a pleasant, rolling sailor like walk which was noted on the pier as well as aftei ho spiung nimbly upon the deck of the Columbia. He ceitnlnly lcoked the sailor nnd while ho was thotoughly Hugllsli, he was In no sense snobbish, for ho chatted away glibly with every one in his viclnltj-, not confining his lemaiks to Sir John Mai ley and other titled gentlemen about him One nice old party bad on an exaggeiated golt cape, veiy loud as to plaid anil very capacious as to hood. It was oulv exceeded In staitling effect by a won dfiiful set of kuickei bookers adorning his veiy short legs. He wasn't a duko nor a loid, but he attracted the awed attention of moio white clad jaekles who were racing with ballast from the St. Michael's to the Columbia, than thu entire outfit of notables. You may have noticed the fact, but It Is a little surpilslng nevettholess, that so verj- many Amei leans expiess a deslie to see the Shainiock win. N W That coiner down nt Wjomlng and Spiuce stieet neai the HaiulJej block, is a teiror to horses. The asphalt slopes toward the sewer basin and It Is the most slipper' place Imagin able.
