...Advocate this year will have six issues. They will follow a policy started with the May Day number last spring when, as "a lady in red", Either Advocate contemplated the polite Left, and walked the barricades thrown up in the streets of Art, the Drama. Literature, Polities and Behaviour. Each issue will be made up to strike some dominant note, echoed even in the regular departments of comment and review--the Stage, Book Notes, and Music.

...contents of the Cup did not disappoint Skipper Konow the next day but the outcome of the race did. Just before the starting gun, when it was too late for Konow to follow suit, Skipper Shields broke out a long-tailed Genoa jib and under it his boat outfooted Norna all the way around a windward and leeward course. Next day, in a light breeze that favored the defender, she won again, this time with four minutes to spare. The last race of the series was sailed on one of those muggy, misty afternoons when...
