The PRICE OF YACHTS.
A Great Shrinkage in the Value Of the
Pleasure Craft.

Pleasure Craft.
BOSTON, Nov. 30-I Special. 1.-The public
have but little idea of the shrinkage in the
price of yachts from one wear to another
The falling of is greater in England than in
this country. The catboats and the so
hooters hold better prices than any other,
and the loss on 3o-footer is not over 500
on total cost of about $500 The 40
footers originally cost close on to S., 600,
and many of them have been sold for an
average of 81, 900.
The Marguerite sold for 4. 5O0 and she
was good boat. The Minerva cost 81, 900,
and she can be bought for less than 81, 500
The i6-footers cost over S11 200, and it will
he hard work to get SIS, 600 for them. As
the size of the boats increase the falling off
becomes greater, and a 53-footer like the
Clara, with two suits of sails, and built
originally for over s12, 900, was sold last
year for just half that sum.
The big schooners show great reduction.
Good ones can be bought for reasonable
sums on the other side, and the same can be
said of all kinds of yachts. The market is
overcrowded over there, and the different
yachting agencies have hundreds of boats
on their lists. The loss on the original
costs was very greats on the schooners Am
bassadress, Alert and Constellation-in fact,
a small-sized fortune has been lost on each
of the boats.
MIR. Vanderbilt bought the steam yacht
Conqueror at great loss to the original
owner. He did not pay one-fifth of the
original cost.
Steam yachts hold up better than sailing
vessels, and John Stetson sold the Sapphire
very close to her original cost-in fact, it
has been many times said that he got out of
yachting cheaper than anybody else.

GOSSIP ABOUT THE TURF.
Garrison's Case Attracting Considerable
Attention Among Turf Patrons

oarr1sOn's case Attracting Considerable
Attention Among Turf Patrons.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-[ Special The
interest in racing circles is now centered
upon the Board of Control Within the
next few weeks the leading jockeys will be
applying for their licenses, and there is
widespread interest in knowing how many
of them will be refused. Members of the
board announced last spring when licenses
were issued to a number of suspicious char
acters that they were simply admitted on
probation. The board was to give every-
body fresh start and clean sheet. Their
future would be in their own hands.
1t is known that for some time members
of the Board of Control have been quietly
investigating the conduct of some suspected
Jockeys, and the names of half dozen are
quoted as being among those to whom no
license will be given.
Garrison's case is attracting especial in
terest. He has recently signed two
years contract with Marcus DAILY. the mil.
ionaire copper king, at large salary. Of
course the contract will be valueless unless
he receives his license: and the chances of
his getting license are by no means rosy.
The Board of Control will be more power
ful next season than it has ever been. 1t is
now almost certain that the Western clubs
will recognize its rulings; and it will be al
most impossible for a jockey without a
license to earn living. Bergen's friends
will make strong effort to secure his rein
statement on the plea that he does not want
to ride here, but in England, and that, as
his suspension was not on account OF fraud,
it would be unjust to keep him from making
livelihood in another country.
Among the probable applicants for a
license is "Sammy" Loates, the queer-look-

less he is reinstated by his own turf author
titles. Loates is an unusually shrewd fellow
and is one of the best jockeys in England.
