TO RACE, itffWER FELT LIKE BOLTING, SEWALL'S HONOR UNEXPECTED. of the Glencairn, Ib a member of the Sea wanhaka club, which will make It a sort of a family affair, as well an an International race. El Heirie which, after a number of trial races with the best and fastest 15 footers In the country and after long deliberation, was chosen by the race committee to defend the cup, is owned, was designed and will be sailed by C.

H. Cram of New York. Her principal dimensions are, 23 feet 3 inches over all, 14 feet 4 inches water line, 5 feet 6 Inches beam, at the deck and 5 feet at the water line. She carries a dagger board of quarter Inch Tobln bronze, which is bo hung that when raised It forms a five inch keel below the bottom of the boat, about four feet long. With the board down she draws five feet of water.

The flare of her sides gives her a good bearing, when under weight, as well as ballast to windward. Her entrance into the water is very sharp, and like her rival Is carried well aft of the midship section. Her stern la dropped so low that when heeled she sails on about 20 feet of water, Increasing ber bearing greatly. She is fitted with a balance rudder of peculiar dosign. A comparison of the underbodles of the two boats shows that of the defender to be much the more symmetrical of the two, with much easier runs, owing to her longer water line.

She slips through the water with much less fuss than tho Canadian and throws little or no wave to leeward. She Is gaff rigged, with a shorter mast and gaff than her opponent, but with a larger hoist at the throat. Her sails are of raw silk and although not so light as the Canadian are thought to be much more serviceable in a blow and less likely to split. Her sail spread Is 240 square feet, which Is 60 square feet less than that of the challenger. Taken as a whole Ehe shows much more care in construction than her opponent and withal, is a much handsomer boat.

Figuring upon the chances of tho two little flyers is almost an Impossible task, so different are their models. If there is a good heavy wind, it looks to be almost a sure thing for El Heirie, and even with a moderately heavy wind her chances are the better. But with a light wind the visitor will prove a very dangerous opponent. She was evidently built with the Idea of racing in light winds and her immense sail spread and high peak will give her a great advantage over the little defender. She was evidently built with the express idea of racing in Long Island sound, where light winds prevail at this season of First of the International Series Will Take Place To morrow OVER THE OYSTER BAY COURSE Comparative Descriptions of the Contestants for the Saawanhaka Corin thian International Challenge Cup.

Glencairn Should Be Dangerous in Light Winds, but in Strong Winds El Heirie Should Beat Her Easily. The chief yachting event of the year, tho races for the Seawanhaka Corinthian international challenge cup, will begin to morrow and continue every day until the cup is finally won by either one or tho other of the contestants. The races are to take place over the Seawanhaka Corinthian short outside course, in Long Island sound, near the entrance to Oyster Bay. Two courses have been laid out, the starting line of both being an imaginary one, drawn from the Center Island buoy off the point of Center Island to the committee steamer, which will be anchored close by. The course to windward and return or leeward and return, will depend upon the direction of the wind on the morning of the race, but will be three miles and return and repeat, making twelve miles in all.

The triangular course Is laid from the starting line east by nortn half north, two miles, northwest two miles and south by west half west two miles, twice over, making twelve miles in all. The race committee, in conjunction with the two contesting owners, have agreed to sail UNDERBODT OF EL HEIRIE. five races in all, the winner of a majority of them to be declared the winner of the cup. A time limit of five hours has been made, and any race which is not finished within that time will be declared no race, and be resailed the following day if practicable, if not, on the next propitious day. All starts will be one gun, with a five minute preparatory signal, which will be given at 12 o'clock noon: The challenging" yacht, Glencairn, is owned by James Ross ot the Royal St.

Lawrence Yacht club, but will be sailed by ber designer. need of relief and In their despair of getting it are in a dangerous mood. Great wisdom and care, in my judgment, must "be used in "dealing with situation which confronts the country. It Is not a matter for political partisanship to deal with. Level heads aro needed now if ever they were needed for the preservation and perpetuation of American institutions.

The country must be saved from those misguided and frenzied people. They must be saved from themselves. Their oppression must be relieved by wise and patriotic legislation In congress. Something must be done to improvo our monetary system and it must be done without much delay if wo would stop tho dangerous discontent and allay the spirit of resentment which I have referred to. Neither a protective tariff nor a tariff for revonuo only will meet tho situation.

The widespread distress in this land has generated among the masses a feeling of deop enmity against the classes. Some oratorical demagogues In both the great political parties have labored to intensify rather than to subdue this feeling. What is best to do in this crisis it is hard to say. There is no disguising the fact that It would take but little to generate a riot whose limits would bo not less than the boundaries of the United States. "It is a matter which the newspaper press must handle with care.

The hurling of epithets, threats and abuse at these misguided fellow citizens of ours would, in my judgment, bo supreme folly. There must be a use of brains and of judgment, gathered from past experiences and of a spirit of true patriotism in dealing with this matter." "Stump orator' will not suffice. Pretty promises will not do. Relief in some form or other must be' afforded or the banks of the reservoir may give way and dreadful havoc follow. Our public men and our editors should not underestimate or belittle the crisis.

They should not be so foolish as to further aggravate the growing army of the discontented and desperate. Drive out the Tillmans, the Altgelds, but deal carefully with the millions whose hearts are all right, but whose heads are heated and excited." Asked as to what he thought the conservative Democrats who refused to vote on candidates would do in the immediate future, Mr. Whitehouse said: "It is too early to say what will be done. Our people have not gotten over the surprise and dismay produced by the convention. I am sure that the true Democracy will stand up against this revolutionary attempt to overturn our sacred traditions and holy principles.

There are enough brains, enough patriotism and cool judgment in the party to secure its rescue from the misleaders who have seized its title, its banner and its national organization." Probably a Third Xicltet. "From what I have heard in my talks with the sane Democracy I regard it as not improbable that they will put a national ticket In the field and have electors voted for in every state and territory in the Union in order that the real Democrats may distinctly separate themselves from those who merely use the name, but have none of the spirit cf American Democracy. This would not be difficult to accomplish in my judgment. Such a ticket might win. Who can tell? Conditions are mixed up with the Republicans in view of the attitude of their party and thedr Hanna combine, which manifestly owns, controls and has mortgaged William McKinley.

The Eound money Democracy, taking the broad middle course owned by no one, mortgaged to no one might turn out to be the party around which the great majority of liberty loving, progressive, law abiding, American citizens would rally." AGAINST A TKEED TICKET. Hnnnikin Held the Ribbons for the Prince of rred Hunnikin, chief shed man in charge of the Avoca Villa sheds, Bath Beach, has had the honor on many occasions, to drive the Prince of Wales. While not employed as coachman In the royal stables, he had for many years a similar position for Sir Charles Le Gard, a member of the English aristocracy. The prince was often a visitor at Sir Charles' estate, Canton hall, near Scarborough, and it was at these events It devolved upon Hun nlkln to drive the royal visitor to and from the station or any other place his highness wanted to go. Since the death of Austin Corbin the public generally realizes to a greater extent the responsibilities of a coachman.

Hunnlkin is a modest, unassuming Englishman and he does not boast that he has ever shaken' hands with the prince or even said a single word to him. His business was to drive the heir to the En glish throne in safety, where be wanted to go and he understood his business thoroughly. His whole attention was to manage the team of high spirited horses. As a loyal Englishman, he fully appreciated the honor, as well as the confidence that was placed in him and he was not currying favor from the prince that he might afterward boast of It. Hunnlkin has been in this country some time.

He is hardly 40 years of age. His father was a horseman before him and Hunnlkin, practically speaking, knows nothing else. His education in this line has not been amiss. Before he entered Sir Charles Le Gard's employ he had considerable experience in a stud farm and had also been coachman for Mr. Peters, London's wealthy carriage manufacturer.

When he arrived on this side of the water he was much surprised, to say the least, at the style of the turnouts of the rich and representative men of New York and Brooklyn. The coachmen wore liveries to suit themselves, he thought. They simply had on a coat with great dinner plate buttons and in their hats a coarse buckle. Their attitude in driving simply shocked Hunnlkin, as he stood on the boulevard and saw them go by. They Shinnecock held their arms out almost at full length, an awkward sight to him.

Another thing that really astonished as well as Impressed him were the trottera and light wagons as they flew down the road at lightning speed. There seemed to be nothing but speed to him and he could hardly get a fair chance to look well at a' good piece of horseflesh. But this was fifteen years ago. No one can now better describe the almost marvelous changes within the last decade of the improvement in the style and appearance of the turnouts of the wealthy, and no one appreciates it more than he. Hunnikin has devoted his life to the care of pleasure horses and he would be a comparative novice In a racing stable.

He is an observing man and can make a very fair comparison between the frequenters of the pleasure drives of England and Amerlht "On the other Bide," he said, in discussing the subject, "they have better roads. Most of the roads used for driving are centuries old, and. It is said, were built by the Romans. At any rate they are very, thick, smooth and kept constantly in the best of order. The moment there Is a depression it is at once filled and leveled.

Englishmen do not want speed. What they are after Is action In horses. The horse that can hold his head furthest back and arch his heck without a check strap, and step high is the most valued. This is the end all horsemen strive to attain, and It takes a very long time to break a horse well In. You can Imagine the fashionable drlve3 of London filled with teams of this kind traveling along at a comparatively slow pace, the animals holding their heads prouder than peacocks and trying to touch their mouths with their knees.

It wa3 an altogether different sight when I first stood In Central park and watched the turnouts of the wealthy, and the difference to day in New York and Brooklyn from fifteen years ago 13 Just as strong In contrast. The change is wonderful. England could not turn out better or more stylish FREDERICK HUNNIKIN. rigs than those that run right down here to Bath Beach to day. And such a change for the better in the coachman, footmen and attendants.

They are now In expensive but quiet livery, and the coachman has acquired that easy style in driving of holding the hands well In as though it was not the slightest exertion to handle the ribbons. The roads also are In much better condition than they were when I came here, and I notice in Brooklyn they are Improving every year. "I have often wondered why Englishmen never took to trotting. This I consider one ot the grandest pleasures In the world. Nothing Is moro exhilarating than to go sailing like the wind behind a good stepper.

But then, I suppose, it is characteristic of the Englishman to go slow, while with the American it Is the reverse. Though the American horseman does like to travel fast he knows how to care for his noble animal, and he certainly has unlimited affection for It. It is a study to watch some men and very wealthy ones, too drive here. They will watch the shed men very closely to see that their animal Is properly blanketed, that they do not cot a drink of water too soon, that they are not tied too snort nor too near another horse. More attention is now paid here to the action of the horse after the English custom.

One man In particular, who drives his horse without a check. Is Fire Chief Nevlns. He frequently gets to Bath Beach and his chestnut cob attracts much attention. Thero is one thing In which the Americans did fairly outdo the English, and that was docking the norses tans, it became toe style In England first to clip the horses' tails at tho dock, but the Americans went higher up. The English followed suit.

This is not so bad, so long as tho animal Is kept In a stable and woll groomed, but It would bo In a pitiable condition if it were let out to graze." Man never fs but always to be blest. Pope.

A VERY PLEASANT SENSATION. Recipient of Many Messages of Congratulation He Things the Silver Movement in New England Is Far Stronger Than the West Imagines A Man Interested in Many Affairs of Commercial Moment. Chicago, 111., July 11 According to his own assertion, Arthur Sewall had no idea, when he left his home at Bath, that his name would even be presented to tho late national convention for the second place on the national ticket. "It was wholly unexpected," he said. "I had no thought of such a thing when I came to this convention that my name would be presented for any office.

However, I must confess that the sensation of being the vice presidential nominee on the national ticket of the Democratic party is decidedly pleasant." As soon as it became known that Mr. Sewall had been nominated, there was a rush of friends and admiring Democrats to extend their congratulations to the "next vice president," as nearly everyone cf them expressed it. In the crowd that pressed around him was a gaunt, hungry looking woman, attired in a faded black dress and a bonnet of the style of a generation ago, who announced in a rasping voice that she had been "a settin on nettles" the whole afternoon at the convention for fear she would not have the pleasure of seeing him nominated. Another to extend his congratulations was a ministerial looking individual from Iowa, who as he departed said: "The blessing of God be upon you and may the light of His countenance shine on your path and guide you to victory in November." During the afternoon he received hundreds of telegrams from all parts of the country expressing the congratulations of friends. In conversation with a representative of the Associated Press Mr.

Sewall explained the belief that the ticket would be a great deal stronger throughout New England and the Eastern states than the western friends of free silver realize at present. "As to my own state," he continued, "the cause of free silver is growing rapidly. Two years ago, I could count on my fingers the Democrats in Maine who favored the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Now, the vast majority of them are of that belief and their numbers are increasing every day. I anticipate a lively campaign this autumn in Maine and I feel assured that the results will be flattering indeed.

It is not impossible for the Democrats to carry the state. They did it in 1SS0 and I see no reason why they should rot do it this fall. "I have great confidence in the success of the ticket throughout the country. I heartily believe in the principles of tho platform and will do everything in my power for the success and victory of Democracy." The vice presidential nominee is a man nearly twice as old as the head of the ticket. He is much older than he looks.

He is a iplsridid example of physical manhood, carries himself wish a soldierly bearing and is what might be termed a fine looking man. His hair and mustache are slightly tinged with gray, but the wrinkles of age have scarcely made their appearance on his face. He was born at Bath, November 25, 1835. The estate on which he was born and where he now resides has been in the possession of the Sewall family since 1760. His grandfather fought in the war of the revolution.

By occupation Mr. Sewall was originally a shipbuilder, and he is now largely interested in shipping, railways and banking. For nine years he Was president of the Maine Central railway, from which position he retired two years ago. He is now president of a bank at Bath, is interested in the Bath iron works and a number of other commercial enter prises. Although he has for years employed large numbers ot men, ne nas never aaa any serious labor trouble.

Mr. Sewall was married in 18o9 to Miss Emma D. Crooker of Bath. He has two chil dren living, both of them sons, Harold M. and William D.

Sewall by name. Mr. Sewall has not as yet determined when he will return home. He expects to remain in cnicago ior several days, however. Bath.

July 11 Steadily, for over sev enty years, has the Sewall private signal, a white on a blue ground, fluttered from the main of some of the stanchest, finest and swiftest vessels in the American merchant marine, carrying the Stars and Stripes into every foreign port. From the days of the first chubby little Diana, built In 1823, to the great steel Dlrigoa, launched in 1894, this house has led the countrv in designs for merchant vessels. Beginning "under William D. Sewaai, In 1823, the house has been continuous, and to day owns the largest sailing merchantmen afloat under the Stars and Stripes. William D.

Sewall was succeeded by his sons, under the name of E. A. Sewall, which firm has since become Arthur Sewall with Arthur Sewall, Maine member of the national Democratic committee and Democratic nominee for vice president of the United States, at its head, and his nephew, Samuel S. Sewall, and his son, William D. Sewall, associated with him.

The Sewalls are of an old and illustrious family on both sides of the water. The first American Sewall came hers in 1634 and Dummes Sewall, the grandfather of the first ship builder, came to Bath from York, which was also in the district of Maine, in 1762. when he purchased the tract of land on which to this day stands the Sewall yard and tho houses of the Sewall family. In the seventy one years that the Sewalls have been building they have owned ninety flvo ships. Arthur Sewall, the present head of the firm, is about 50 years of age.

He grow up among the scenes of the ship yard and seashore, acquiring a familiarity with business life which has since served him well, not only in that particular branch, but in many other lines ot mercantile life, for he is from beginning to end a capitalist. There is hardly a corporation in Sagadahoe county in which he Is not a director. He is prominent in railroad circles, as well as In politics, having been president of the Maine Central and other important roads, and now being a director in many. Ho is a bank president and one of the principal men of this city. A striking feature of Mr.

Sewall's nomination is that his son Harold Is a Republican, having changed from the Democracy as a result of what he considered the party's failure in administration. Young Sewall was one of the leaders of the Reed delegations at St. Louis and is one of the leaders of the young Republican movement In Maine. RELAY CYCLE SERVICE. How the Associated Press Did Quick Work at Chicago.

Chicago. 111., July 11 One of the features of the newspaper work of tho national convention was the manner in which the bicycle service was employed by the Associated press for the delivering of the verbatim reports of the convention during the night session to the main office of the Western Union Telegraph company down town. It was thought by the management of the Associated press that bikes could be employed to do faster work and more reliable service than tho express trains on tho Illinois Central railroad. For the purpose of performing this service three expert riders were employed to convey those reports from the convention hall down town. The names of the men so employed were Alfred H.

Shugnue, M. H. Beebe and W. W. Phelps.

These men rode In relays, similar to that of the pony express employed to deliver the United States mall over the plains in former times. The flr3t rider conveyed tho report as far as Fifty fifth street and Michigan avenue, where It was delivered to a fresh rider, who proceeded with It to Thirty first street; there it was delivered to a third rider, who conveyed it to the Western Union building, where through pneumatic tubes it was delivered to the various newspaper offices of the city. A practical test of the system proved Its great efficiency, and young men so employed won encomiums for the promptness, with which they performed their work. "Wanted to wet Into the Democratic Party.

(Special to the Eagle.) Chicago, 111., July 11 A number of inter Views with delegates and leading men were published In yesterday's Eagle. Other men Hseen in the course of the day are quoted as Toilows: Bx Governor Flower Since the adoption of the platform New York has done nothing the convention. Personally I would feel did feel like bolting this Populist convention in order to get into the Democratic again.

We were acting as a unit and 'bo declined to vote for the nominee on the platform. Our state convention, when it is called, will settle the matter as to whether wo "shaft support the ticket or not. Ex Mayor Gilroy I feel we ought to go ack to New York and lay the report of the proceedings before our state convention be Slore we determine on any course of action. 'Allen I.

Congressman McLellan The nominee I have not the honor of knowing. The platform is "a wicked and immoral platform to be adopted wKiin this convention, which is not a Demo cratic, but a Populistic convention. Young Controller Eckles of the treasury by all odds the brightest and finest efficient of the younger men who have lought during the past few days In the ranks of the gold men in this city, said to the ''Eagle correspondent: "The victory of Will Jam Jennings Bryan illustrates the value of knowing how to use a metaphor. I consider his nomination the weakest that could have been made; very much weaker than Bland's have been, for Bland has been in a number of years, has some knowledge of affairs and is a man of maturity and experience. "I am confident that the nominee of the party at this convention will not only lose the state of Illinois by a large majority, but that he will lose every Southwestern state that has a distinctively strong P.e publican organization.

The problem that the gold standard men at this time is a most serious one. The first thing that we must accomplish is the defeat of the ticket nominated yesterday in this city by the Democratic party. "The question Is whether it will be wisest on our part to put a third ticket In the field, in view of the fact that in theEasteru states the organization may be broken up by such a ticket. Of course, in the state of Illinois, instance, we are outside of the party or so it makes but little difference. i I notice in this morning's paper that in an fft1" "'w Bryan nfnhn mnJ uo his mind dannofflMHRHH that if this con vention nominBHPld man on a gold platform he wouldnot support him.

Reed of Phila delphia, secretary, would have charge of the as to whether a third ticket should be put in the field. Ho said he believed that they were all men of good sound sense and that before rendering their decision they would look carefully into the question and de cide what was best and most expedient under the circumstances. "I certainly believe that the state conven Uon of New York ought to be called as soon 'as possible and definite action taken." Senator David Hill started for home yesterday at about 4:30 o'clock on the private car that brought him here.

As he was about to enter the carriage that waited for him at side door of the Palmer house he turned to the Eagle correspondent and said: "I sup sensational stories will ba circulated as the reason for my not attending the conven tlon to day. "The plain fact of the matter is that I was worn out and I have been working day and night since my arrival in Chicago and I was really In no condition physically to go to the convention. That is all there is to it. "When you are through with the fight and iave lost the battle there is nothing left to do but to go home. In my judgment, the action the New York delegates at this convention has been dignified, judicious and courageous.

the future I cannot at this time speak. It will take care of itself." John Hheehan I am through and have nothing to cay. I am speechless. Other sound money Democrats of prominence who were interviewed by th Eagle cor respondent, but who do not care to have their names used, said that they considered the action of yesterday's convention as slm ply a strike of Che ragged Southern brjga d'lers against the prosperous and industrious North and East. The first ticket, they said, in their judgment, was sure to be ignomin "ously defeated.

They expect that Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, West Virginia and Del aware will all go Republican in November. Referring to Bryan's victory, they say that won simply because ho was the only one who presented the case of the free silver people with any force; tha't although his ar was fallacious, it caught the fancy of the extreme silverites. "There is, I fear, danger ahead," said Mr. "Whitehouse of the Kings county delegation.

They felt that the trouble was with the monetary system.

They have learned that Republicans and Democrats alike favored International bimetallism and the minting and use of both gold and silver money on a parity. They had come to believe that the European countries, especially Great Britain, would not voluntarily consent to it and they were easily led to believe that bimetallism in the United States would by force be followed Dy bimetallism In the countries buying from and selling to us.

Carlisle's Secretary Says an Independent Democrat Would Only Secnre Bryan's Election. (Special to the Eagle.) Chicago, 111., July 11 There is already considerable opposition to tho placing of a second gold ticket In the field, as suggested and advocated at the conference of certain prominent Illinois Democrats here last night, at the meeting addressed by Controller Eckles, ex Congressman Everett and others. Among the most prominent opponents of the suggested plan aro administration Democrats, who are of the opinion that the placing of a second gold ticket in the field will result in the election of Bryan. William H. Vansenden, Secretary Carlisle's private seoretary, said to day: "I sincerely hope that our friends In the East and in Chicago will not insist on placing another gold ticket in the field.

I have just returned from an extensive tour through the Middle Western states. I have written to Mr. Carlisle of the fact that the free silver heresy has reached most tremendous proportions in the doubtful states and I have today informed him that I believe that the placing of a second gold ticket in the field will result in the election and Sew all. The sound money m. want to beat this ticket.

That is the one thing they have to do. It makes but little difference how it is done. The patriotic citizens of this country, whether they are Democrats or Republicans, must take this stand. It can be best done by simply following the course pursued by the New York Sun and advocating the election of Major McKinley. As sure as there Is another gold ticket In the field we will lose Indiana and other doubtful states.

I don't hesitate to make this opinion of mine as strong as possible and again to urge the men who have encouraged tho second ticket movement to pause before they push it." Indications multiply every hour showing tnat even men wno neipea place in nomination William Jennings Bryan for the presidency are already beginning to hedge and regret their action. Senator Dubois and Mr. Hartman left today for Manitou Springs, where Senator Teller is now resting, and where they will remain with him in consultation for several days. They were undecided as to what course to pursue. Senator Dubois said to the Eagle corresponaent: "We wanted Teller nominated, because we believed he could be elected.

Wo are not at all certain as to Bryan ability to succeed In fact, we are In grave doubt about his election. Under these circumstances it behooves us to move carefully and not to jeopardize the cause." Mr. Hartmann echoed Senator Dubois' sentiments and said that it was by no means certain that the Populists and bolting Republicans would Indorse Mr. Bryan at St, Louis. The free silver men of the Northwestern states seem to day to dread more than anything else the loss of Democratic votes in some of tho Southern states.

They read with alarm the announcement of the Texas delegates this morning, in which they bolted the nomination of Bryan and advocated the placing of another Democratic candidate in the field. The published announcement of Teller's rather lukewarm indorsement of the ticket is not considered by the silver Republicans here as meaning anything. COXEY LIKES BRYAN, Pittsburg, July 11 General Jacob S. Coxey, delegate to the Populist convention July 22, from his district In Ohio, said to day that Bryan's nomination was the best the Democratic party could make. "I met Mr.

Bryan," said the corumonwealer, "when I appeared before the ways and means committee at aslnngton, with, my good roads bill, and found him to be an able man." "Do you think the Populists will indorse him?" he was asked. "No, I don't. The Populis tg will nominate their own ticket and then, If possible, a combination will be made with the Democrats whereby either the Democratic nominee or the Populist nominee will get the support of the electors votes of both parties." G. H. Duggan, and F.

P. Shearwood, both of Montreal, Canada. The Glencairn is an English half rater, but was built after the scow style, of which the Question, which sailed in the trial races last year, and made such good weather of it, was the first built in this country. Mr. Duggan followed her general plan in designing the Glencairn, but with sundry modifications and imnrovements.

which make her far su perior to the old Question. One of her most striking characteristics is tne extremely snort waterline, which maikes it possible for her to carry 300 feet of canvas. In light winds this will be a great advantage to her over the defender, which carries but 240 feet. Her general measurements are 23 feet over all, 6 feet 3 Inches beam, 6 inches draught, with centerboard up and 5 feet with it down, and only 12 feet 6 Inche3 waterline. She has a finely drawn entrance Into the water, which Is carried aft of the midships section.

Her run is smooth and easy, although short, on the waterline. Her steel center board weighs 100 pounds, and is a compromise between the dagger board of El Heirie and an old fashioned center EI The Brooklyn Defender of board. Her underbody shows tho effort to atttain buoyancy to reduce the water line, and in that it has been successful, although it does not look pretty. Nor does it show the same smoothness of lines as tho El Heirie. Her cockpit is self balling and she carries a balance rudder.

Her hull Is painted black, so that she can easily be distinguished from her competitor while sailing, and is lead weighted until It weighs about 365 poundB. To carry her sail spread large spar3 are necessary, although they look trim and light. Her masthead is 21 feet above the deck and she peaks up 4 feet higher. Her hoist at the throat Is only 9 feet, which makes her gaff 15 feet in length. Her boom is 20 feet.

Her Balls fit beautifully, but aro so very light that in any kind ot a wind there would be great danger of their splitting. When under sail she kicks up a big fuss in the water, for her size, throwing quite a wave to leeward. Her official measurement, as reported by Measurer Hyelop of the club, is 14.90 feet, which Is only .03 feet leas than El Heirie. One of tho interesting features of the races' Is the fact that Commodore Ross, the owner the.
