after center-board yachts had scored
victory after victory over the old
fashion round bottom, the English
yacht-builder suffered q change OF
opinion. The designer of the Queen
Nab is G. L. Watson of Glasgow who
had made the plans for all the tastes,
English and Scotch yachts. He de,
signed The Thistle, which was once
bought by Emperor William, who sailed
her under the name of Meteor. In
case the tedious arrangements which
always precede international yacht
races ever come to an end and LORD
Dunraven's challenge for the Ameri
can cup should be accepted Mr.
Watson would very likely be selected
to build a new craft and its Dimensions
would be very nearly like those Of the
Queen Nab.
Under these circumstances the YES

for yachtsmcn and all persons patriot

In tho Recent Election. -
Thomas +. GilrCy, the mayor elect of
New York city, was born in Ireland
in 1s4o and came to this country with
his parents five years later. He was
educated in the public schools and at
the free academy. At the age of 1G
he left the academy to learn typesct-
ting, and worked at his trade until he
was 20 years of age, when he became
identified with Tammany Hall and
was appointed a clerk in the Supreme
Court chambers. From that time on
he has been an active participant in
New York city politics.
His SECOND official position was that
of clerk of the Ninth District court.
Then County Clerk keenan, appointed
him deputy county clerk, to succeed
Hans f. Bee tie, who had been made
surveyor of the port. He was APP
pointed by Mr.. Flacis, who succeeeed
Mr.. keenan,. When Mr.. FlaclS became
sheriff he took Mr.. Gilroy with him
and made min under sheriff. While
occupying that position he was APP
pointed Commissioner of Public Works
by Mayor Grant, on May ?, 1889, for
the term of four years.
AS Commissioner OF Public Works
Mr.. Gilroy materially strengthened his
strong record as hard working and
efficient public officer, having brought
about many reforms in his department,
and successfully exerted his influence
in fastening the building of the elec.
trical subways, and in bringing about
the removal of overhead wires. Prior

also, as has been said, an actress,
. She played child parts at the age of
4 10. She was in the company of Junius

When in 1856 John Brougham

elite of the Ellerslie Guernsey herd,
which were sent to the show on exhi-
bition by their owner, Vice-President
Levi p. Morton, under the immediate
care of II. M. Cottrell, who is Mr..
Morton's farm superintendent. The
beauties at the Garden were chosen
on account of their but
ter records, which are big.
There is for instance, the pet of
the lot, Good Morning" nearly
solid fawn, imported Nov. 16, 1887, who
has record of s,295 pounds of milk in
one year and 1,07l pounds in a month.
She is to go to the worlds fair as a
specimen high-bred rich milker. Then
there are Rosette with a record of 8, 1Ot
pounds in 351 days; Olga, 775 pounds
In one month; Margo, 6,097 pounds in
eight months; Lady Antoinette end,
$40 pounds In one month; Bretonne,
6,701 pounds In seven months; Chamoi-
nesse, $3.50 Is pounds in nine months;
Roselin, 5,71G pounds in nine months,
and May Blossom, $3.50 pounds in
eight months. In a series of tests
made among the very large stock of
thoroughbreds owned by Mr.. Morton,
the milk from Good Morning"
showed percentage of 9O-1OO of
butter fat.
Mr.. Morton has cows at Ellerslie
which have a greater yield than any
recorded here, but for the New York
exhibit it was decided by him to show
only plump cattle and such as were in
good condition.
The destructive fire which destroyed
the extensive barns at Ellerslie, Rhine
clitf-on-the Hudson, last summer, for
tunately did not destroy any of the
valuable stock with which the barns
and yards were crowded, Mr.. Cottrell
makes it his boast that the barn now
in course of construction will be the
largest and most complete of its kind
IL the world, and will have room for
400 cattle, besides room for calves. OF
the hundreds of stalls ninety
two will be box stalls. The main
building will be 800 feet in length and
65 feet wide, with an extra width of
so feet for the part in which the silos
and machinery are located says the
Illustrated American Mr.. Morton's
herd now contains l76 head, including
calves, but will be increased to 400,
with a working dairy of 800 cows.
Ellerslie is priucely farm in it's
proportions. 1t has more than one
thousand acres of land, and under the
care of Mr.. Cottrell, of whom Mr..
Morton is very proud, the magnificent
breeding farm is in the most perfect
possible condition. Mr.. Morton's resi-
dence. at Ellerslie is a very large and
imposing mansion, surrounded by
grounds on which all the most perfect
talents of the finished landscape
artists have been expended.
Enormous lighthouses for flowers,
vegetables and grapes are maintained
the year round, and, excepting only the
grounds Immediately surrounding the
private residence of Mr. Morton, the
entire farm at Ellerslie is open to
the inhabitants of Rhinecliff, who
look upon 1t in a measure as park of
their own, and prize 1t, as we'll as the
generosity of its owner, accordingly.

McCook is absolutely and unquali-
iedly pledged to donate a valuable and
sitely half block and to spend $4,000
on a suitable court house, in case the
county seat is removed to McCook.
Thus Red Willow county will secure,
without one penny Of expense to the
county, a handsome and convenient
court house. On the other hand, if the
county seat remains at %Indianola, the
county must soon be at considerable OK
pense to repair and enlarge the present
unsuitable and unsafe structure. The
farmers will observe that to remove the
county seat to McCook Is the business
like and economical thing to do. And
they will do it.
