The meeting of the board Of trade to-
night TO hear the report of the board of
directors forwarding the report of the
railroad committee, which since last

the building Of another railroad into

important in the history of the city. A
definite proposition has been received
from the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
through Second Vice President Dee atur
Axtell looking to the building OF con-
ncctior with that road, probably by
way OF Fincastle and that proposition
will DO submitted and discussed to-
night.
The directors of the Board OF Trade
are unanimous in indorsing the fairness
and feasibility of the proposition and
it is in view to seek favorable consider
alton az the hands Of the board to. night.
That Endorsement having been secured
further steps in the direction of securing
the consummation Of the railroad pro-
ject will be in order.

The greatest theologians aided in de-
vcloping tho fetichism in which much
of this pscudo-scicncc was grounded,
remarks Ia. Andrew D. White in an
article on the transition from magic to
modern chemistry, in the Popular Sci
cncc Monthly. One question largely
discussed was whether at tho rcdemp-
ton ii was necessary for God to take
the human form. Thomas Aquinas an
swcrcd that il was necessary. but Will
liam Occa and Duns Scotus answered
that it was not; that God might have
taken the form of a stone, or of log.
or of beast. The possibilities opened
to wild substitutes for science by this
sort of rcas oning were infinite.
Men have often wondered how il was
that the Arabians accomplished so
much in scientific discovery as com
pared with Christian investigation: the
reason is not far to seek: the Arabians
were comparatively free from these
mystic allurcmcnts, these thcoloeic

THE "AMERICA's, CUP.
Subsequent History of the Yacht
Which Won that Famous Prize.


Which Won that Famous Prize.
Harper's Weekly.
The story of the Americas cup, how 1t
won in 1851, and since defended. is
an oft-told tale, and no attempt will be
made here to go into details that are IA
miliar to every American yachtsman.
Come what may, this cup must always re-
main our most treasured trophy, for all
our magnificent development in yacht
designing is directly traceable to the con-
tests to keep 1t on this side of the Atlantic.
Eight times have we accepted challenges
for this blue ribbon of the ocean-stx from
England and two from Canada, and seven
times have we successfully defended 1.-THE
eighth remains to be decided next week.
The history Of these races is the history
of marine architecture. and the character
istic progress of the Yankee and the per-
severance and craftsmanship of our Brit
ish cousins are evidenced in every one of
the struggles. With each challenge the In
terest has spread wider and wider. until
yachting world will follow the struggle
between Valkyrie and Vigilant, which be-
gins the 5th.
1t was vastly different in 1850 when Com
modore Stevens, of the New York Yacht
Club, then in it's infancy, ordered the
America from George Steers, the first and
one of the most famous of American de-
signers. The building Of pleasure yachts at
that time was a struggling industry, while
racing confined chiefly to the pilot
boats, which were justly renowned. There
was, indeed some desultory yacht racing,
and there had been even ten years earlier,
but it was only beginning TO be recognized
as a sport when the America was put
overheard.
George Steers deserves more than pass
ing notice; he was of family of builders.
and a designer as independent and original
as Edwin Burgess and the HerreshoffS who
came after him. He revolutioniZsd yacht
designing in his day, and built many boats
that became noted. Besides the America,
he designed the sloop Julia, which in her
day was as much a marvel and as unbeat-
able Gloriana in her first season.
Each of these two famous boats has an
interesting history. America was sold to
an E,nglishman after her conquest in 1851,
and for a time did service as yacht. She
was turned into a blockade runner when
the civil war broke out. but In this role
she was not success, and to escape cap
ture was sunk in the st. Johns river
Florida. After the war she was raised by
the government and put into COM
mission as training school for
the naval cadets. When the Cam
bria came over to race for the cup, in 1870,
she was refitted as a yacht and competed,
winning fourth place, while the English yacht
got no better than tenth; thus did the old
boat, handicapped she was, show that
after twenty years she still faster than
the latest and fastest British creation.
Later she became the property of General
Benjamin F. Butler. and is still In posses
sion Of his son Paul.
