MAN AT WHEEL
OF RESOLUTE
IS REAL SPORT
NEW YORK, July 21 (by Associated
Press),—Charles Francis Adams II,
the man at the wheel on the yacht
Resolute, is characterized by experts
as the premier American yachtsman.
He has owned more than a score of
yachts and has sailed nearly 100 small
and large craft, and some of these
have been the best boats of their class
in America and the world.
Mr. Adams is treasurer of Harvard
university and a member of the cor
poration; a director in many com
panies and in personal charge of trust
estates amounting to many millions.
Yrears ago he became known to yacht
ing associates under the nickname of
^Deacon,” and some of them still call
him by that name.
Born at Quincy, Mass., he came ol
a long line of seafaring men and in
herited a love for the sea. He is
credited with calm judgment and a
high type of sportsmanship. His
father used to take him sailing in Bos
ton harbor when he was a child and
by the time he was 12 years old he
was winning races with his small
boats. In those days he learned a
lot about the tricky side of races, for
rules were lax.
In later years Mr. Adams built and
sailed to victory many notable yachts,
most of which bore names composed
of seven letters with a double “o”,
such as the Papoose, Babboon, Gos
soon. Harpoon and Rooster.
He was at the wheel of the famous
Pilgrim when she sailed a race against
the Vigilant and Jubilee for the honor
of defending the America’s cup in
1893. He sent his brother George
mate of the Pilgrim, to the leeward
rail to watch the jib sheets as the
yacht drove along in a smoky south
wester. She heeled so hard thal
George soon stood in water up to his
“Hey, there, Deacon,” he yelled;
“it’s getting deep out here.”
* “I don’t care if it comes up to your
neck; you stay there till I tell you tc
come out,” replied Captain Charles
But the Pilgrim was defeated.
Mr. Adams years ago blocked the
aspirations of one little Scotch cutter
the Minerva, which came to Americe
-• and defeated a number of Americar
boats in 1890. Her victories were re
garded as ominous and suggested t<
yachtsmen the possibility that a large:
boat of her type would be sent t<
carry away the America’s cup. Th<
Minerva was sailed by Charlie Barr
the famous skipper, who defended th<
cup as skipper of the Columbia in 190:
and the Reliance in 1903. But Captaii
Adams with his little Gossoon stoppet
the victorious career by winning tw<
out of three races.
Captain Christianson, professiona
skipper of the Resolute, has sailei
with Mr. Adams before. He was quar
"*termaster of the Pilgrim in the ran
of 1893 and won Mr. Adams’ approva
by going out onto the gaff, a danger
ous position, to fasten a sail that be
came loose while the race was on.

NOME MINER !S 1
VICTIM IN BIG
GAME OF POKER;
t
]
Brief participation in a “friendly”
game of poker at the Elite Bath j
House cost Andrew Ariole, miner, (
late from the Lost River tin mine, the ^
1
neat sum of $657, according to testi- (
mony given by him in the commis- j
sion’s court last Saturday against i
W. R. Anderson, who was arrested 1
late last week on a gambling charge 1
based on information laid by Ariole I
before District Attorney J. M. Clem- I
ents. Anderson plead guilty to the ]
charge and was fined $400 by Com- -
missioner O’Neill.
Ariole’s ttle of sad misadventure
was vivid with references to “fours,”
' “full houses” and ‘“royal flushes,” j
with the latter seemingly always in
some one else’s hand. An added touch
of interest was also given to the
; <
hearing by the declaration of the wit- ‘
ness that he was given to under
stand by his gambling associates
that the game in which they were
interested would not be molested by £
J the authorities. Some of them told j
I him, he said, that there was no dan- ,
ger of a raid as “the old man was all
right.” The witness said he under
stood “the old man” to mean District
i Attorney Clements.
| Questioned regarding the details of
! his participation in the “little friend- .
' ly game,” Ariole said he won $30 the
; first night he played, but after that
Dame Fortune forsook him, despite
“full houses” on various occassions.
“Holding hands like that, how was
it that you did not win?” queried the
district attorney.
“Oh,” the witness replied, “when I
' had fours, the other fellows had a
j royal flush.”
i According to Ariole’s recital, he
bet heavily on his big hands but the
royal flush holders invariably beat
i him to the pot. Under examination
| the withness. admitted he suspected
that someone stacked the cards on
him.
At the conclusion of Ariole's testi
mony Judge Clements denied the im
putation that he condoned gambling
in any form and stated that he was
in possession of further evidence
bearing on the case but was undecid
ed as to its future just at that time
! thereby indicating a possible deter
mination to display to some of his
gaming commentor’s that their claim
that he was “all right” might be all
, wrong. In commenting on the evi
, | dence at the close of the hearing,
Commissioner O’Neill characterized
the imputation against the district
attorney as an absurd statement and
’ declared him to be an upright and
conscientious man who could not be
swerved from his duty. Judge O’Neill
1 also gave expression to his own sen
1 timents regarding gambling by de
5 daring that he is unalterably op
posed to it and ready at all times to
1 co-operate in its suppression. Nug
