ANOTHER SHOCK
New York, Anril 1a--A Herald zante
The morning call., 1893-10-14
ON CHANGE.
Interest Centered i'm the Contest for
the Cup.

The race demoraiizsd the business OF
the Merchants Exchange. Usually from
to P. NJ. the floor of the main room is
the busiest place In town. and in the low
hum of voices which visitor hears from
groups of men clustered about the room
there are transactions involving thousands
of dollars.
But yesterday all eyes centered on the
blackboard where the bulletins were
posted. Attendance on Change was twice
as large as usual, and. unlike the crowds
around the newspaper Offices, the senti-
ment was by 10 means unanimous in favor
of the American sloop. Nearly every Eng
lish skipper in port dropped in during the
noon hour, and among the members of the
exchange there is very respectable MI
nority who first saw the light of day in
Great Britain, and who could not sup
press the hope of seeing the Valkyrie win.
Bulletins posted before noon made the
majority of the crowd shake their heads,
but aroused much enthusiasm among the
British contingent. 1.-THE Englishman is
outsailiDg us" was heard at all sides.
News of the great race back before a
thirty-mile wind" was announced just as
the crowd was filing in from lunch. and
for the next half hour the excitement was
intense. The bulletin dated 3:13 P. M
"The Vigilant is now ahead"-evoked q
tremendous cheer. and twenty minutes
later ''Tbe Vigilant wins by minutes and
80 seconds" caused cheers which shook the
building.
The veteran Captain Charles Thorn re-
marked: II tgive it up. l don't see how
he did il"
Captain Charles M. Goodall exclaimed: ::
"Well. I'll be dog-gone!"
George w. McNear took materialistic
view of the matter, saying. 81 guess we'll
win cool million, off those Englishmen."
Captain William NJ. Rawley said: This
is the biggest victory of ALL"
Captain A. j. Miller seemed puzzled.
81 thought the Valkyrie was sure of it
this time" said he. Her skipper GER
tainly outsaled the other fellow"
British Vice-Consul Moore remarked
with feeling of regret: I'VE will have
to doff our hats to the centerboard"
Captain j. F. Chapman. who knows q
lot about fast sailing and has record tor
1t, said: "Of course, you can't tell unless
you see the race, but from these bulletins
should say the Englishman ontgeneraled
u.s."
Some moments later chorus of groans
created the bulletined rumor that the
Vaikyrie had won by twenty seconds, and
finally when at 2:1 0 it was announced that
definite news of the result lay with the
official timekeepers. the crowd dispersed
with the uncertain feeling of not knowing
exactly how they did feel.

mast. This was taken as the perpendic
lar of triangle formed by the main sail,
Jlb, forestaysail and topsail.
TO find the base of the triangle the dis
tanee was taken from the end of the main
boom to point halfway between the jib
and jib-topsail stay Oh the bowsprit
II there were no gaff this would be all
that was necessary to get the approximate
sail area. but the end OF the gaff projects
beyond the line from the topmast to the
main boom. To include this strip of sail
outside of the main triangle in the sail area
so per cent OF the length of the topmast is
substracte1 from the gaff measurem ent
and the remainder added to the base line.
The measurer then multiplied the base
by the perpendicular height. divided the
result by two. and found the sail area to
be II. 1.312 feet. Subsequent to this meas
urement some slight alteration was made
in the length of the Vigilant's topmast,
slightly reducing the sail area, and the
official measurement determined the sail
area at 11.272.
The next thing was to get the length on
the water line. and this is where the diff
Guilty comes in measuring modern yachts.
a straight bow and short stern would
change her water line length very little if
raised or lowered an inch or two in the
water, and that consequently there could
be no difficulty in finding the actual meas
urement. even if the water was not per-
fectIy smooth.
With boat like the Vigilant. of the
10 odern type, it was different, as her long
Overhang forward and aft increases or
lessons her length foot or moro for every
inch she is put down or raised in the
water. Even with all weight the same it
is impossible to get accurate measurements
agreeing with each other if there is the
slightest ripple, as the smallest wave
changes the measurement an inch or two,
and that means few seconds time allow
ance. which in these days often wins or
loses a race.
TO get the points on the bow and stern
from which the water line is measured a
piece of wood floating level with the sur
fsce of the water is pushed under the over
hang until it reaches the point of junction
with the water. Here it is held and
moved back and forth until the exact
point where the water touches the hull
is found. This is carefully marked, and
the same operation gone through with at
the other end of the boat. When these
spots have been located. plumbine is
dropped from the rail just above the mark
at the water line and regulated by sighting
until it is plumb with the SPOT below.
This is done forward and aft, and the dis
tance between these spots transferred to
to the deck. where a tape stretched be-
tween them gives the exact swater-line
length. Two weeks ago the measurer
found the Vigilants by this process to be
S6.34 feet. As in the case of the sail area.
this was ascertained to be different hen
the American yacht was in better racing
trim.

Indeed he believes the Vakyrie to be the

The element of color will be given to

their rank. Thus, of the field officers,
the captains will wear red sashes, lieu

A flag of special design will denote the

The present game of bowling or tenpins
is developement OF the ancient British

introduced the sport into Great Britain.
The origin of the game is shrouded in mys-

Chinese and Biblical history. In the early
game of bowls, which very closely resem-
bled the duck on rock" sport well known
to every country boy, round stones, called
bowlers, were rolled Mt a rock a certain dis
