The Old Man Was Disappointed.

Uncle Peter went to see ball game last
Saturday. 1t was his first view of such a
contest in ten years, and he looked somewhat
disappointed as the innings rolled off with
machine like promptness, but he said nothing
until he was on board homeward bound
car Then his nephew addressed him:
What do you think of it, uncleg"
THAT was baseball game, was itT'
"Of course it was Why do you ask thatY'
Sand they call that playingW
Certainly"
Nobody punched nobody else from one
end to the other7"
mo, indeed"
"And the umpire wasn't kicked off the
field7"
THAT is a rare diversion nowadays"
''And the whole eighteen men didn't huddle
together in bunch and jaw every time a
man was called outl'
"Oh, no."
"And nobody didn't steal the best bats and
make off with the spare ball9"
THAT is impossible under the present ar
rangement."
"And the whole thing didn't wind up in a
free fightY"
"You saw that it didn't"
81 know that / saw it didn't, and 1 also
know a game of real baseball when l see it,
and that COMPOUNDED croquet party that we
paid 81 to look at is no more like the real
games they used to play than an amateur
minstrel show is like genuine f1n.-Charles-

A NEW CENTERBOARD.

1t Is Certainly Ingenious and Deserves
Consideration.
Now that yachting interest has been again
awakened by the challenging for the Amer
ica's cup by Lord Dunraven, it may not come
amisS to see what are the changes if any,
that can be brought into play with just re-
ward at the international contest in October.
As these great races, which attract so
much national attention, come and go, it is
worth noting what improvements there are
brought out to the yachting world. Usually
those best adapted are tried and their result
noted in our trial races. The late interest
ing centennial gave us scale of comparison
between things of today and those Of one
hundred years ago And so with the Thistle
Volunteer contest of 1887. Points were
brought out which were not known in the
first of our races for the same great object,
which was to prove the superiority of the

American centerboard or the English cutter
! or keel vessel, together with general seaman
ship.
From the first yacht race in which the
! America came off victorious, with the famous
/ cup as a trophy, much speculation has been
/ INDUCED in year by year upon the other side
! and equally so upon this side Of the Atlantic
! by would be defenders Of the same trophy.
! In almost every race the superior pointing
of the American vessel occasioned by the CEN
terboard, together with good seamanship
has so far defended the cup admirably. With
the many interesting contests there has been
maintained the same national pride toward
certain principles and ideas, and the center
board is relied upon not only to give desired
results of victory, but TO keep the determined
challenger from taking the cup back to Eng
I land. 1t is upon this purely American inven-
ton, the centerboard, that we must still rely
/ for success next fall, says The New York
Herald.
Mr.. Fred D. Owen, formerly of the United
States navy department, Washington, now of
New York, has invented a new revolving
centerboard or fin, which will during its pas
sage through the water revolve by the aid of
dead or stationary water passed over, so as
to give less retardation and naturally add a
little to the speed of the vessel.
1t is constructed of two conical disks of
steel securely fastened together, and upon
trunnion or axle properly neld in a U shaped
inverted frame in the centerboard box.
In order to give the same bearing area as
the old triangular fin, two, three or more such
revolving disks may be employed, one fol-
lowing the other in tandem style in the same
box.
These dis!;s when properly built can be
raised or lowered at will by means of crank
working through the box in the cabin into a
rack and pinion on the U shaped frame. And,
if desired, by this triple arrangement but one
may be left down when coming about.
The triangular fin or centerboard as now
used extends far down into dead or station
arg water, which occasions more or less re-
tardation or hindrance.
1t has been lately learned that the skin
friction at twelve knots or over is considera-
ble-something like from 20 tc 80 per cent. in
d yacht and often as much as so per cent
and that yachting men of the past have re-
sorted to many different kinds of patented
paints for the bottom of their vessels But
In racing pot lead OF plumbago is employed
with fair results.
In the case Of the Thistle it was noticed
that she used a patent anti-friction paint
brought over in her hold and applied only
the last few days before the memorable con-
test in 1887

When Mr.. Arson, man who used to play

they won the pennant, if any readers mind
has the time to retrospect that distance, when
he came forth no one ran out with bucket

the Alta California says that Judgment
having been rendered for NJ. T. Walters in
his suit at Sacramento to recover possession
of Al Farrow from parties holding him UNI
der lease, with damages placed at $99 SO, il
might be thought the matter would be at an
end. This is not SO, however, for Mr.. Upper

claims to be the legal lessee of the animal, Sc
cured an order of court, gave the requisite
bond and was placed by Sheriff McMullen in
temporary possession of the horse. The case
will thus be fought over again, and it is not
impossible that We may see Al Farrow at
