LAUNCH OF A RACER.
Yacht Altrurian Built in This City to be
Record Breaker

Record Breaker.
What will probably be the fastest yacht
ever built south of Boston was launched at
L. J. Nelson's ship yard, foot Of Sixth street
southwest, on Saturday.
The vessel is destined to be leading fac
tor in yachting. 1t is owned by Baltimore
parties. and will sail under the auspices of
the Baltimore Yacht Club. Though not so
large vessel as the famous cup-defender
Vigilant, the Altrurian, which the vessel has
been named, is built on the same lines. She
is facsimile Of the Vigilant on n smaller
scale, and like that famous craft has been de-
signed for speed.
Her owners are Messrs. J. II. Mallory, Frank
F. Peard, J. H. Farlow, Walter Baldwin, How
ard Carlton. Perry Donaldson, Harry Reed.
and Z L. Harlan, all members of the Balti-
more Yacht Club. The launch took place at
p. M, in the presence of large crowd. and
was successful in every way. Miss Grace
Evelyn Bouldin christened the pretty craft.
The yacht is fifty feet long, measuring thirty
feet at the water line and twelve feet beam
She will spread 3,110 feet of canvas and great
things are expected of her in the way of
speed. She will carry mainsal staysail, jib,
jlb topsail. spinnaker. topsail, and club top
sail. She is Of the non-capsizable type, being
weighted with II 900 pounds of metal in her
hold.
The yacht is thoroughly modern in every
particular. and though built for speed will be
fitted up in the most luxurious manner. Her
cabin. which is fifteen feet long, will be
beautiful little den when the yacht is COM
pIe.ed. This apartment is finished in white
ash and is supplied with almost everything
that contributes to comfort.
L. J. Nelson. the builder, is only thirty-two
years old, but he has already become famous
as a designer OF successful yachts. He Is a
native Of Sweden and came to this country at
a very early age. He bought books and edu-
Gated himself primarily. He spent three
years at the Institute Of Technology. After
leaving the latter place he entered the employ
OF Lawley & Son, of Boston, which firm built
the Puritan. Volunteer, Goshorn, and many
other yachts. He also served under Naval
Designer Burgess and is in reality the designer
of the modern yacht. It was he who con-
structed the government models for the
Worlds Fair. About two years ago Mr.. Nell
son began business on his own account in
Washington and since then he has built
number of steam launches and other craft
for various parties.

VigiIant Will Have n Chance.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-It has been arranged
that the match between the vigiant and
Britannia for the $50 cup offered by Lord
Wolyerton shall be sailed on Wednesday
The race will be fifteen miles to windward
and return, as was originally proposed by
Lord Wolverton. Mr.. Gould at first held out
for a run to leeward and a beat home. but he
changed his mind, and the agreement for the
race has been signed. Much interest is mani
tested in this race, for If the wind Wednesday
holds true the yigilant will have an opportu-
nifty to show what she can do In the open sea
on nearly all points of sailing.

New Zealand Trout

The classic ground of New Zealand fishing is in the South island, chiefly in the rivers which come tearing down to the east coast from the great central range of the southern Alps-those ter. rible snow waters which have given tc drowning the name of "New Zealand death. " today a mere thread in wide desert of shingle, tomorrow fast and furious torrent tapping over mile ot above all that the trout grow to be monsters.
 It was in one of them that one rod in a single night took 10 fish, weighing 91 pounds. It was in a lake at the head of one of them that there was netted a trout of 35 pounds. But these huge fish have contracted the despicable habit ot refusing to take fly and must be en- trapped with minnow or live bait, and that, too, at night. In the lakes the monsters refuse to look at any lure Of. fered them by man.
 We have seen them cruising about ot an evening picking up white moths, but we never yet heard that any man had succeeded in capturing one with a rod, and having ourselves failed disastrousfy in the attempt we are, of course, the foremost to maintain the feat to be i'm possible But in the smaller tributaries the trout will take the artificial fly. and these are the streams preferred by the enthusiast. -Macmillsa's Magazine

The Sugar Report

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Senator Gray, chairman of the sugar Investigating com mittee presented the report of the com- mittee to the senate and asked that the committee be discharged. The main report is signed by all the senators of the committee, but Senators Lodge and Davis present a supplemental report, and Sena- tor Allen also presents his own views on some features of the case. The report which has the approval of the full com mittee recites the causes which led up to the investigation and quotes the article from the Philadelphia Press on which the charges against senators were based. It also recites the facts which have been pub lished already as to the refusal of the cor respondent, Edwards, to answer queries put by the committed.
 Secretary Carlisle is exonerated, and the parts of the article reflecting on him are declared to be without foundation. The conduct of Mir. Edwards, says the report in publishing specific charges against public men without his personal knowl- edge calls for serious reprobation of the senate.

Names of Mining Claims.

''In travelling through the mining region of Colorado one is often surprised and amused at the queer and fanciful names given by the miners to their claims and mines, said Denver man. Down in deep gulch came upon a brawny, full bearded man yielding Q pick vigorously in the tunnel of the Baby Belle mine. Near by was the Girl I Left Behind Me- owned by a handsome, straaping young fellow, who no doubt had many happy, helpful thoughts of the girl he had left behind him while working eagerly and hope fully on the claim that might make | them both rich. In another gulch were | claims called Little Sassbox, 'Daddy's Delight, The Pretty. Polly Pemberton, , 'Thompson's Mule, Starvation, Bust I ed and numerous other claims whose names were equally interesting. The | owners of these claims are likely to be quite as happy without as with the for tunes for which they seek.
