Comparison Of the sailing qualities of the
Defender-which will almost surely repre-
sent the United States in the great yacht
ing contest for the America cup-and Lord
Dunraven's Valkyrie III-with which the
English hope to WINS not now possible,
for neither Of the boats has as yet done
anything upon which to base anything like
solid calculation. That they are both
faster than the Vigiant and the old Val
kyrie seems to be generally admitted, al
though the Defender will have to defeat
the Vigilant before the Iselin-Morgan-Van-
derbilt syndicate can possess the honor Of
an exclusive right to meet the British
yacht for the international championship.
A couple Of preliminary brushes between
the two American yachts indicate manifest
superiority on the part of the Defender;
enough of superiority to make 1t certain
that the Defender Is the best racing boat
that has yet been launched from an Amerf-
can shipyard. and is therefore likely to do
credit to the American people in the races
which are to take place off our eastern
coast in September. For the first time in
the history Of the competitions the Ameri-
can yacht is without a centerboard; there
is family resemblance between the lines,
and even the keels. Of the British and the
American craft. The two designers have
apparently compromised with their very
positive views of two or three seasons past
with the probable result that both boats
are much more speedy than were any Of
their predecessors.

frances in the coming towers Of the new
battle ships are not large enough to admit
the entrance Of q person Of more than
eighteen inches In diameter. The missor-
tune is that this does not represent the size
OF the average naval officer. Eighteen
inches. indeed Twenty-four inches were
nearer the mark. The case presents two
necessities: either the slots must be en-
larged, and 80 increase the chances of a
shot entering the towers, or the diam
eters OF the line and staff Of the navy must
be reduced. At present the official opinion
leans toward the former solution. Better
to run the risk Of getting hit occasionally.
say the officers who have SO far been called
upon for their judgment, than to dispense
with the good things Of life that go to make
up the discrepancy between the two unac-
commodating dimensions. Better be shot
than to trainl In this interesting and some
what heroic attitude the naval officer is now
left standing, while the architects are de-
vising new curves for the coming towers
that will enable the largest admiral to slide
through without abrasion. Whatever the
solution finally agreed upon, 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that the newer navy will not be SO
constructed as to interfere at all seriously
with the social functions Of the officers.
All is not gold that glitters. and there are
drawbacks 1t appears. even to the life Of
the occupant Of the quarterback.

Has 1t come to this, that the modern
naval officer must go throus ! process of
evolution similar to that which has trans
formed the jolly jack tar Of the masthead
into grmy stoker in the coal hole? Must
the future wearer Of gold lace and brass
buttons conform not only his habits Of
thought but his girth and stature to the
conditions of the great fighting machines
OF which he Is an essential accessory?
Must he train down, In order to be able to
dive quickly and conveniently under cover
when the enemy begins to pay attention to
his vessel with shot and shell? Must he
perish the thought-must he bant? 1t Is to
be feared that he must. The dilemma that
gives rise to these paralyzing possibilities
has just developed. and Is sending a chill
OF horror through naval circles-especially
Inc large circies-and shocking the nerve
centers of the club stewards The discov-
cry has been made that the slot-like en-

Is 1t not possible for all the members OF
our efficient police force to maintain a neat
appearance? 1t may be argued that ap-
pearance Is a non-essentia but. on the
other side, 1t may be asked whether there
Is any real reason why an officer should
look slouchy while on duty. For some time
past the display Of untidiness on the Fart
OF some officers has been marked; unbut-
toned coats, that expose, in the absence OF
vests, more or less rumpled and dirty neglige
shirts, being much too common. In other
cities. where the police force is not nearly
as effective as ours. there are regulations
strictly enforced as to neatness while on
duty or In uniform. Why should the gen
eral average of excellence here be lowered
by inattention to this matter Of appear
ance?

According to the Chicago Chronicle, there
has been no increase of wages to workmen
In the Pullman shops, despite all clarifying
announcements that there had been an ad-
vance of ten per cent. At least, the work
men have not experienced it; and under
the rules at present existing the earnings
of the best mechanics are limited to
twenty-five cents per hour. When the an
nouncement of an advance was sent on;
the news seemed too good to be true. The
only increase the Pullman concern knows
anything about is raising the rates on the
public.

BASE BALL CHANGES.
CHANGES THAT ARE MADE IN THE
RULES OF THE GAME.
The National Board Revises the
Whole Schedule and Makes
No End of UnImport-
ant Changes.

New YORK, Feb. 2S.-At $50
o'clock last evening, after the dele
gates to the National Base Ball
league had been in session over six
hours, a second adjournment was
taken and Secretary Nick Young
met the reporters and gave out the
| following account Of the meeting:
"At meeting of the National
Board, composed of Messrs. Young,
Soden and Byrne, the treasurer's
report was read and adopted and
n. E. Young was elected secretary
and treasurer, NJ. J. frost was
awarded to Nashville, and Nash
vile was directed to pay over to
Rochester all over advance money
which the latter club had given to
the player. The meeting Of the
league was called to order at l1:2O
a. M, and president A. H. Soden, of
Boston presided. The changes
suggested by the rules committee
were first taken up. Rule Six has
been changed so that the pichers
plate will be "a by inches instead
of II by 4. Rule Al, section 2, has
been changed. The last sentence
has been stricken out and the fol-
lowing added:
"The new ball delivered to the
pitcher may be discolored by him,
but by no other player. In 80 do.
ing he must not resort to other than
rubbing it with his hands or gloves
and shall use no foreign substance
other than earth; and said ball
shall not be rolled or passed from
player to player"
Rule 10 has been amended by
substituting the word entirely"
for "Wholly" and the diameter of
the ball increased from q to q
inches.
The much talked of glove NIT
questions were settled as follows:
"The catcher and first baseman
are permitted to wear a glove or
NIT Of any size, shape or weight.
All other players are restricted in
the use Of glove or nit weighing
more than ten ounces"
Rule 20, the last SIX words have
been stricken out and replaced by
the following:
"While not engaged in active
play"
Rule %, section 6, has been made
to read zone minute" instead of
"fve."
Rule 30, section l, the word
touched" replaces the word
stopped"
Rule 80, the words "directly to
the ground" are stricken out in the
fifth and sixth lines.
Rule 40 is entirely stricken out
and the following adopted:
"a bunt is a deliberate attempt
on the part Of the batsman to hit
a ball slowly within the infield SO
it cannot be tielded by any infield-
er in time to retire the batter"
Rule 43 adds new section six:
"The umpire will call strike on
all foul tips caught by the catcher
within the ten-fOOt line"
