OUR CUP DEFENDERS.
PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS or
AMERICAS FOUR CRACK YACHTS.

They WIN strive to Prevent the British
From Winning Back the Cup known as
''The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Colonia, Pill
grim and Jubilee.
Despite the strained financial situa-
ton there is a great deal of public inter
est in the coming international yacht
races, and this is sure to he largely aug
mented by the preliminary contests be-
tween the American emp defenders.
Yachting men generally seem to agree
that fass.r 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 out 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
W before.
As soon as it was decided to accept
the challenge from the other side Of the
water the question of q 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 Yorii
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.
dicates placed their orders with the
Herreshoffs, while the Boston syndicate
engaged Stewart s. 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 & Jones
Mt Wilmington, Del, where she was
built, while the Paine boat was named
the Jubilee. The Morgan-Iselin syndi-
Gates boat has a centerboard and is call
ed the Vigilant. The Rogers syndicate
named its yacht Colonia. 1t has NO
centerboard or fin. All are sloops. All
were in the water by the end of June.

yIGILANT.

The Vigilant is the largest OF the four.
She possesses many of the familiar Her
reshof characteristics, although there
are some notable departures from the
lines OF the Gloriana and Wasp, so well
known to yachtsnen. Her dimensions
are: Length over all, 1913 feet; load water
line, IS feet: beam, 20 feet; draft. IA
feet. Her sail plan il described by
yachtsmen as tremendous" and she
carries rs tons of ballast to assist her
broad beam in holding her upright. She
is plated with Tobin bronze up to her
top streak, which is of steel. 1t Is claimed
for Tobin 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 lightness and strength. The Wig
ilant's centerboard is made Of thin
bronze plates and is hollow. 1t is 10 feet
deep and II feet long. Her 90 foot boom
is the one built for the schooner Constel-
lation when Commodore Morgan de.
signed changing that boat to a sloop.
William Hansen is sailing master of the
Vigilant, 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 yearso old and a Norwegian by birth.
The Rogers ~syndicate's Colonia is
made of steel and may be termed a TYP
ical Herreshoff boat. She resembles the
Wasp and the Gloriana in her lines and

The Tsans-Saharan Railroad.

While still in the air, it is quite GER
tain that something will come of the re-
cent agitation in France and Algeria in
favor of q Trans aharan railroad as a
strategic, political aud commercial ne
cessity. We know that the French have
made Algeria one of the best mapped
parts of the world; that they have built
i. 700 miles of railroad in the colony, and
that Algeria is looking across the desert
to the rich central and western Soudan as
source Of trade, capable of enormous
expansion, which may be drawn to her
marts.
The outline of the plan is to build a
narrow gauge road from Southern AL
geria through a series of GASES to
Timbuktu, and TO connect this
point by rail with Senegambia on the
southwest and on the east with the fer
tile regions of the central Soudan, as far
as Lake Tchad. Three projects for this
railroad have been studied by order oil
the French Governments.
The Russians have proved in Central
| Asia that desert railroad building is prac.
ticable: and while the Saharan railroad
| project has not yet passed the stage OF
| inquiry and discussion. there are indica
tions that the work Of carrying it into
effect will not be long delayed. 1t viii
be required, however, to establish propel
| influence over desert tribes like thu
Tuaregs, who seem at last on the verg'
of more hopeful and pleasant relation
with the white race. The proposed
line from Ain Sefra is in creates
favor, and is likely to prove most prac
ticable.-L Engineering Magazine.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF trade
says:
Busin ess during the past week has been
affected by the severe weather, but even
more by the stIingency and uncertainty In
the money markets. Rates for money have
mounted from So on call TO 10 per cent
and for two days ruled above 10 per cent,
but the extreme pressure has abated with
out any measure OF relief, and on the an
nouncement that the treasury department
would not issue bonds, but would use the
bullion reserve In maintaining gold pay
ments. Withdrawals of money for the West
and South nearly ceased. Gold to the
amount of a million was offered to thc
treasury in exchange for legal tenders by
the Bank of Denver and as much moro by
one bank in Chicago, and rates In New
York fell TO per cent. There was some
liquidation in stocks, but none OF import
ance in products, and 1t IS evident that the
restraint of exports by speculation In the
chief staples is an important cause oil
