IMPROVING VALKYRIE.
steel Spans to Reduce Her Weight
Aloft-Can Sine win.
81; Cable to the United Press

i,E CAME tn the Dflltcf FTeSS-
BOSTON, July 26, 1895.-The 'Herald's
Gourock correspondent. in his cable OF
Yesterdays Valkyrie events, says
The surprise of the day was the leak
ing out of the fact that she will have
set of steel spars, tons lighter than the
pine ones. This will reduce the weights
aloft cutie as much, if not more, than
the Defender gains in her aluminium top
sides The steel spars have just been
completed, and are greatly reduced in
size from the former ones. Tney are
made of nickel steel, galvanized. The
mast is round and smooth, and is over q
ton lighter than the pine mast. 1t is just
105 feet over all and 22 inches diameter,
which is 31a inches less than her oregon
The other spar dimensions are:--Top-
mast. IS feet and 1919 feet in the doubl-
ings; boom. 1251a feet: bowsprit, 43 feet
over all From foreside of mast to outer
cranze iron on, the bowsprit is 80 feet.
Hhe spinnaker boom is so feet, and the
sailspread is nearly $4,000 square feet.
She has now 81 tons of lead on her keel.
and with reducing weights aloft she
will be fully stiff enough, SO her crew
Messrs. Cranfield and Sycamore think
that the Valkyrie would show up faster
than she did when racing against the
britannia Said they
'"Tne Defender. in our opinion, in the
weather she had, did not beat the Vigi-
liant enough"
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1895-07-26
NEW WATER IN SIGHT
Contract for a Supply Will
Probably Be Awarded
Next Week.
TWO FINANcIERs OBJECT
They Say 1t Will Increase the
City's Debt But Other officials
Say 1t Will Not.

The Street and Water Commissioners,
with the exception of Mr. Patterson,
held conference this morning at their
office on. Jersey avenue. The subject un-
der discussion was the disposition of the
three propositions for a new water sup
ply now before them. viz:-Those of the
Jersey City, East Jersey and RockaWay
and Hudson companies.
The situation it is said has resolved
itself into a struggle between the Jersey
City and East Jersey Water Companies
The RoclHaway and Hudson proposition
is a cheap one, but as yet the ofIclaiS
have been unable to learn who is the
financial hacker OF the scheme, and there
is a belief that 1t will be an utter i'm,
possibility to finance the operation at
S. 900 900. However, this factor is playing
only a small part in the consideration OF
the proposftions: -
There are, it Is contended, many fea,,
lures in the Rockaway Company's bid
that are slightly shrouded For instance,
the conflict of authority in relation to
water rights at Boonton, between the
Morris Canal Company and the j. Cou-
per-Lord estate. The proposition OF the
manufactory from Boonton to Jersey
City, acquire lands and build pipe lines
and reservoirs strikes. the officials as
rather a. heavy undertaking.
The East Jersey Company, it is ad-
mitted, has water rights and rights of
way and sufficient money to finance the
Undertaking. L lie JERSEY SlLy SOIludHy,
it is argued, stands in a like position,
with it's options on many of the lakes
and streams in the mountains beyond
Boonton. The East Jersey plan estab-
fishes an intake at BOonton and Boon
ton as a site for an intake is not re-
garded as a suitable point, owing to the
possibilities of contamination, not only
now but in the future.
The intercepting sewer proposition is
not liked
PURE MOUNTAIN WATER.
The salient features of the Jersey City
Company's plan is that the water is
gathered in infamous region where
pollution and contamination are practi-
cally impossible, now and for all time.
1t is probable that the Street and
Water Commissioners will award con-
tract next Tuesday morning. The only
hitch that is expected in the acquisition
of new water is in the Board of Finance.
Two of the members oppose contract,
basing their objections upon the addi-
ton to the city's debt. On the other
hand three of the members claim 1t
costs the city $36O,0OO a year to operate
the present plant. and that under. the
prices of the Jersey City Company buy
ing by the million gallons, the depart
ment can be operated at a less expense,
for the reason that coal. general sup
plies and the employment of large
| force of men under a gravity system will
be unnecessary. The case will be ar
