AUDUBON.
Magnificent Marble Memorial to the Great
Ornithologist.


For over thirty years the remains Of
John James Audubon, acknowledged
the world over TO have been the
greatest ornithologist and naturalist
OF his time. have rested in an obscure
corner of Trinity cemetery at Amster-
dam avenue and One Hundred and
Fifty-ifth street. The public spirit
OF the nineteenth century has. how
ever, done lstice TO the memory OF a
man who has taught the American
people more about birds than any
other man who ever lived. and last
week in the presenceo of a large assem-
blage, including many descendants of
the Audubon family. a magnificent
monument was unveiled TO his mem
DRY, in Trinity cemetery, New York.
Among those present were many
members OF the New York Academy
OF Sciences and other scientific organ
izations. The unwilling ceremony
was simple but impressive. The
principal address was delivered by
Prof. Thomas Eggletson. In the even
ing there was a memorial meeting Of
the New York Academy Of Sciences
at the Museum Of Natural History. at
which a eulogy on Audubon was de-
l1iyered by ex-President E. G.. Elliott.
of the American Ornithologists'
union.
The monument has the form Of a
Celto-Runic cross, a wheel encircling
the arms OF a cross, while Runic trac-
cry OF quaint design relieves the
carved figures of birds and animals.
On the base is the face OF the dead or
n~ithol0gist. The monument is
TWENTY-FIVE feet high, and the cross is
one solid piece, weighing seven tons.
and rising TO a height OF nineteen
feet. In the panels at the foot of the
cross appeartwo Biblical Inscriptions,
reading: 'Oh, All Ye Fowls Of the
Air. Bless Ye the Lord: Praise Him
and Magnify Him Forever" The
other reads: 'Oh, All Ye Beasts and
Cattle, Bless We the Lord: Praise
Him: Magnify Him Forever"
The cost OF the monument was sIo.-
600, and "a executed BY X. c. Fish
er, of New York.
This tribute 10 Audubon comes al
most altogether from New York. for
ii is in that city that he passed the
greater part Of his life and accom-.
plished his most lasting results in the
line OF his life work. Although born
a French subject in Louisiana before
its cession, and although the early
years of his life were spent in France,
1t was in America that he had his
trials, and here also that he had his
great successes.
His life reads like a romance. One
dag a gentleman OF fashion in New
York, the next a farmer in PennsyI-
yania, then a storekeeper in Louis
lana, bat all the time following out
his o~rnithOiogical intuitions and los
ing sight OF all business in his favor

JUR CUP DEFENDERS.
PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF
AMERICAS FOUR CRACK YACHTS.

They VIII Strive to Prevent the British
From Winning Back the Cup Known as
1.-The America's"-VigiIant CoIonia. Pill
grim and Jubilee.
Despite the strained financial situa-
ton there is great deal of public inter
est in the coming international yacht
races, and this is sure to be largely aug
mented by the preliminary contests be-
tween the American cup defenders.
Yachting men generally seem to agree
that faster time will be made this year,
wind and weather being considered, than
has heretofore been achieved, for the
lines of the boats have been laid ont in
the light of more scientific knowledge,
their construction is better, there is
greater economy in the matter of weight
of spars. tackle, etc, and the sail plans
have been devised more carefully than
ever before.
As soon as it was decided to accept
the challenge from the other side of the
water the question of a defending boat
on this side came up. Two syndicates
were quickly formed in New York and
one in Boston. and it was shortly an
nounced by that veteran yachting racer,
General Paine. that a boat would be
built by him and his son, John B. Paine.
One of the New York syndicates was
headed by c. Oliver Iselin and Commo-
dore E. d. Morgan of the New York
Yacht club. and the other by Archibald
Rogers Charles Francis Adams, second,
and George c. Adams headed the Bos-
ton syndicate. Both the New York syn
dictates placed their orders with the
HerreshOffs. while the Boston syndicate
engaged Stewart & Binney. who sue
ceeded the famous yacht designer, Bur
CESS. to furnish theirs. Mr.. Paine made
the designs for his boat himself and had
her built at South Boston.
| There was no dallying in the work of
| building. The two Boston boats are fin
keels, that owned by the syndicate being
christened the Pilgrim when she was
launched at the yard Of Pussy Is Jones
at Wilmington, Del. where she was
built, while the Paine boat was named
the Jubilee The Morgan-Iselin syndi-
Gates boat has centerboard and is call
ed the Nigilant. The Rogers syndicate
named its yacht Colonia. 1t has no
centerbOard or fin. All are sloops. All
were i'll the water by the end of June.
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1893-08-10

The Nigilant is the largest Of the four.
She possesses many of the familiar Her
reshoff characteristics, although there
are some notable departures from the
lines of the Gloriana and Wasp, So well
known to yachtsmen. Her dimensions
are: Length over all. l2S feet; load water
line, s. feet; beam, rs feet; draft, "a
feet. Her sail plan is described by
yaChtsmcn as tremendous and she
carries - tons of ballast to assist her
broad beam in holding her upright. She
is plated with Tohin bronze up to her
top streak. which isof steel. 1t is claimed
for T0hin bronze that it will not rust
and is not likely to badly foul. Its sur
face is smooth, and it possesses the quail
ties of lightncSs and strength. The Wig
ilant's Ccntcrhoard Is made of thin
bronze plates and is hollow. 1t is 10 feet
deep and II feet long. Her 9S foot boom
is the one built for the schooner ConStcl-
lation when Commodore Morgan de
signed changing that boat to a slunp.
William Hansen is smiling master Of the
| Nigilant. and the crew has been selected
with great care. Hansen was formerly
the sailing master Of the schooner Sa-
chem and has Won many races in her. He
IS 46 years old and a Norwegian by birth.
The Rogers syndlcates Colonia is
made of steel and may he termed TYP
ical Hcrrcshoff boat. She resembles the
Wasp and the Gloriana in her lines and
is not so startling" i'll her general de
sign as are the other cup defenders. Her
length over all is 1926 feet; load water
line, s. feet: beam, ~ feet; draft. II feet
| 6 inches. Outside her keel are 80 tons
of ballast. Yachtsmen who have studied
her design describe it somewhat as fol
lows: Her stem shows the graceful re
versed lines seen in the Wasp. and her
sternpost has n moderate rake. Hell
