THE KAISER NO "SPORT."
Brigadier-Gcneral McCalmont had an experience of the Kaiser's sporting j spirit at Kiel when his yacls, the I Margharita, beat the Kaiser's Meteor. | As the Margharita crossed the win-ning-line the German crowds remained silent, but when the Kaiser's boat arrived, with the Emperor on board, the hands played and the people cheered. At the prize distribution the Emperor received' the massive gold cup which was in reality the first prize while Brigadier-General' McCalmont ' was awarded a silver salad bowl, which had been intended for the second prizo . So, even in sport, the Kaiser could not "play the game.''
