NEW YACHTING RULES.
Specializing MS to the Size of Cup De

Specializing MS to the Size OF Cup De-
lenders Crew.
A special meeting of the New York Yacht
Club was held ut the club house in New
York last evening to ratify the action of the
club at its meeting of February H. on
which date several important amendments
to the constitution ard the new rating
classification were adopted.
The new racing rules were unanimously
adopted, as well as rules relating to the
house committee.
1t had been stated that at last nights
meeting the question would be settled defin-
itely as to the exact number Of men to be
allowed in the crew of the new cup de-
fender, and the impression was given that
the club had the power to do this. mas
much as the actual dimensions Of the new
cup defender ara not positively known,
this matter was not considered from any
point whatever.
"Of course, under the new ruling" said
one of the members, 1.-The number of men
each boat shall carry Is limited, and it can
be easily figured that if the new cup de-
the number of men allowed hundred-foot
rater, which would be sixty men,
1t will be remembered that one Of the
stipulations of Lord Dunraven's challenge,
which was agreed to- was that the racing
length of the cup defender should be de-
termined when all the crew are on board.
With this agreement and the rule of the
club limiting the crew, 1t Is thought there
will be no such difficulty over this matter
as occurred during the international race
of 1893.

a little complaint was made when
the DEMOCRAT was reduced in size
from seven column, eight page to a
five column, eight page paper. This
reduction we were compelled TO make
to reduce expenses and keep the paper
on its feet. Since that time all the
papers in the county have reduced in
size, the Register this week reducing
to the the same size as the DEMOCRAT
and the Hoisington Dispatch to just
half the size of the DEMOCRAT.
For $3.50 year you can get the
same amount of reading matter in the
DEMOCRAT that you pay 81 year for
in the Register, and double the amount
you pay $1.50 for in the Dispatch. All
the other papers in the county-except
the EllinwoOd Advocats are smaller in
size and contain less local matter than
the DEMOCRAT. We therefore believe
that we are giving better service to the
citizens of Barton county than any
other paper; and our belief in strength
ened by the fact that our subscription
list is constantly receiving the addition
of new names.

Editor DEMOCRAT:
A few lines from me may be accept
able. We have been having some pret-
ty tough weather here this spring.
The electrical storms have been some
thing wonderful. For two days there
was so much electricity in the air that
horses and cattle which came in con-
tact with the wire fences of corralls
were knocked down. I am on the tx.
L." ranch, and the lightning was so
constant, and the air so full of it that
we had to take up part of the floor and
build a fire on the ground, as for 4S
hours we could not cook thing on the
stove; the cooking utensils were so full
of electricity we could not handle them
Oh the stove at all. Sometimes too, we
had to light the lamp in the middle of
the day in order TO see what we were
doing the air was SO full of dust that it
appeared like night.
My regards to all my Barton county
friends. Yours Truly
