The following. told by the Utlca Ob-
server. will be appreciated here In
South Norwalk, which Mr. Raymond
calls his home. and where his genial
presence is wont now and then to
dwell:

Wayte A. Raymond is a name which
one sees occasionally inscribed upon
the register at the Butterfieid. There
Is nothing peculiar about the name nor
about Its possessor. but there is an In-
teresting story about the way in which
the name was conferred. Mr. Ray-
mond Is a commercial traveller who
has been coming to Utica for twenty-
dve years, and is one of the best known
salesmen In the druggists" supply
trade. The other afternoon while in
a reminiscent mood be related how It
came about that he was named in the
way that he was.

"I was born In the West forty-seven
years ago," began Mr. Raymond, "and
int the youngest of a family of
twelve children. My parents are still
alive and, in fact. there has been out
one death in our family for the past
fifty years. As Is the custom with par-
ents, l was no sooner born than my
parents began casting about for a suit-
able name to bestow upon me. They
did not find the task an easy one. how-
ever. for they had named eleven oth-
ers and had about exhausted the cats.
gory. Not being able to agree upon a
name for their last born it is said that
they invited the neighbors to make
suggestions, but, it moms. with no bet-
ter results. i was. therefore, allowed
to live along a nameless sort of crea-
ture until one day my mother became
Impatient and said to my father: ‘Now,
It is shameful not to name this child.
Let us agree upon something at once.‘

"Father, tired of rehearsing the list.
replied as he had often done before: ‘0
mother, don’t let's hurry. Walt awhile
and we will find something that will
suit on both.’

" ‘Wait awhile." exclaimed mother,
an idea striking her. Walt awhile?
Well. we have got to call the poor
child something else except baby and
for convenience sake we will call him
Wait Awhile untli,we can think of
something better.

"But father and mother never
thought of anything better or even dif-
ferent, and the result was that l was
never christened. From that time out
I was called Wait Awhile by every-
body in the neighborhood, and when i
grew old enough my parents related
the circumstances which led to its he-
stowai. When i moved away from the
state and came East the name follow-
ed me and I have never tried to change
It save that i write the Walt with a ‘y'
and never sign the ‘Awhile.’ "

Mrs. H. E. Dennie arrived Wednes-
day from Mexico on the steamer Vig-
ilancia, and is now at the home of her

son. A. E. Winchester, with whom she

will henceforth reside, having been
compelled through failing health to
leave Mexico and return to her native
land. after an absence of nearly twenty
years. .

the window. and then noticed some-

New York, October 7-At sunrise
this morning a strong northerly
breeze was stirring up the white caps
on the bay. the sky was absolutely
clear. a light autumnal haze hung over
the Long island and Staten island
shores. and the air was crisp and in-
vIgoratIng. it would be Impossible to
imagine a morning more full of pro-
mise of a fine race between the Colum-
bia and the Shamrock. At the anchor-
ages and places of embarkstion. how-
ever, It was seen that the disappoint-
ments of Tuesday and Thursday had
affected the spirits of the yachtsmen
and yachtswomen, for the number of
people hurrying to jam the excursion
fleet did not appear to be nearly as
large as on the previous days set for
racing.

OFF FOR THE HOOK.

Off the Battery only fivc'tugs were
waiting for their passengers. These
bouts included the tug Volunteer, fly-
lng the Shamrock's flag. which was ta-
king on board the guests of Sir Thom-

them to his steam yacht Erin. in the

FIRST WEATHER BULLETIN.

The. first weather bulletin of the day
came from Galilee, N. .I.. from wnlch
point the Associated Press correspond—
ent at 7:02 a. in. reported that - the
north wind there was whistling down
the coast at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. He added the disquieting re-
mark. however, that the breeze showed
signs of moderating by noon. A very
high sea was running at that time and
lIw observation limit was twelve
mllcs.

STORM SIGNALS LOWEREI).

At the Highlands. at about it a. m.,
the storm signals were lowcrcd. Tbc
-ondltions for the race were almost ex-
actly similar to those prevailing at the
same time on Tuesday. The wind was
from the north northeast. blowing al-
most directly down the Jersey shore,
and was coming over from the Long is-
land shore at a velocity of almost fif-
teen knots an hour. The sea was cov-
ered with whitecaps. and the waves.
the relics of yesterday’s storm. had
their top and crests taken ed by the
breeze as they broke on the Jersey
shore off the Highlands.

EXTENSIVE RANGE OI" VISION.

A number of coasters came out ar-
ound the Hook during the early morn«
ing and ran away before the wind
down the coast. making excellent time.
One or two of them had reefs In bu.
the majority carried their topsails, as
it was a run before the wind.

The ”weather at the Highlands at 8
o'clock, however was much clearer
than on the two previous race days and
observation was quite extensive. To
the south and cast the range of vision
from the Highland Light extended to a
distance of over fifteen miles. and
Long Beach Hotel on the Long island
shore. about sixteen miles away.
could also be seen. A haze hung
over New York harbor and very little
in that direction could be seen be-
yond the point of the Hook, a distance
of about five miles.

WEATHER SIIARPS' PREDICTIONS.

A number of the weather sharps at
the Highlands this morning predicted
that the yachts today would have an
experience similar to that of Tuesday,
and that the wind would very likely
drop considerably before the afternoon.
if it did not die away entirely.

The Shamrock. inside the Horseshoc.
had her two headsails in stops by 7 o'-
clock. and by half past eight her ten-
der was making preparations to tow
her outside.

STARTED WITHOUT A TUG.

The breeze was so fine and true of!
the Hook this morning that the Sham-
rock dispensed with the aid of the tug
and started out for the lightship under
sail. The crew began getting up the
mainsnii and by 8:50 It was up to the
satisfaction of those on board.

At ii o'clock the jib was broken out
and the challenger headed up for the
channel on the starboard tack. Just
as she got under weigh the Columbia

the southwest spit In tow.
The Shamrock ran up towards the

on the port tack at a lively gait. and as
on the°two previous days. was the first

Highlands was very clear, and the
ships over twenty miles away could be
plainly seen.

The Columbia broke out her jib with
her malnsail fully up, headed out after
the Shamrock at 9:20. The latter was
five miles ahead of her and running
very fast. A large ocean steamer fol-
lowing the challenger was not able to
overhaul her.

WIND TRUE AND STRONG.

The wind at 10 o'clock was still from
the north northeast. a little over fifteen
knots and holding true and strong,
with every Indication that It would
continue throughout the day and en-
able the boats at last to have a good
race.

The cup defender Vigilant had a lit-
tle brush with the latest challenger on
the run out. The Shamrock went ny
her as if she were anchored.

Behind the Columbia were half a
dozen revenue cutters and a number of
steam yachts and as the two yachts
reached the iightsblp the first of the
excursion first appeared heading down
the Swash Channel.

YACHT ERIN STLAMS OUT.

At 10 o'clock the steam yacht Erin,
with a large party on board steamed
out by the Hook with a big Shamrock
flag on her foremast. With the Erin

number of press tugs.

The Columbia arrived at the light-
ship at 10:09 a. m., having made the

stood a little to the southward. but
soon came about and ran over towards
the challenger. which was then sailing
along on the port tack. about a mile
wutheast of the llghtshlp.
TRYING THE BREEZE.

Both boats were evidently trying the
brceze to decide as to their light sails.

The winds at this time still came out
if the north northeast. but had fallen
if! a trifle and did not seem to be blow-

SHAMROCK FIRST TO DECIDE.

not fear an Increase of the breeze. The

'lie skippers on the rival boats began
iockeying for the start in earnest.

CHANCES FOR SNAPSHOTS.

The Columbia was about northeast
'mm the llghtsblp. heading for it with
:heets amidships. This was to allow
he Columbia people to have a good
'ook at the Shamrock as the lstter's

The Shamrock did not cross the line
as she bore down on It. for her skipper
saw the Columbia coming up on the
starboard side of the tug. So Hogarth
sybed his mainsall to starboard and
shooting around into the wind ran up
across the Columbia's wake on the par.
