Herreshoffs Have Received Orders
for Eight 27-FOoters.
A. S. Van Wcke Talks With News Re porter and Says
He Will Have One in 90 DAYS.
The Other Will Be Built for W. Vanderbilt Morgan W. Kane
D. Merritt c. oliver ssn and George Gould.

There is every reason to believe that
the future cup defender will be a small
yacht There will be reduction from 80
feet TO 27la feet. This is verified by an
interview with Mr.. A. l.. Van Wickle.
The constantly increa sing size of the
boats built TO defend the Americas cup
every year, and the attendant expense,
has in reality confined the sort to one
boat, and instead of a number of boats
sailing for race as in the old days, the
contest has settled upon the superiority v
OF the American boat over that of the
Englishmsn.
The recent fiasco and the ensuing mud
die have had much to do witt the deter
mination, which has resulted in the plac-
ing of eight orders with the Herreshoffs
for tracing machines, as they will be
called. Mr.. A. s. Van Wickle, in an in
terview with THE NEWS representative,
said: 81 am the first to place an order
for one OF these boats, which is TO be
little short OF two and half rater, 39l2
feet over all and 27l2 feet on the load
water line. and the contract calls for its
completion in 90 days.
Seven orders have Immediately followed
from William X. Vanderbilt, Il. ID.
Morgan, Woodbury. Kane. ID. Merritt, G.
Oliver Iselin, George Gould and one
other.
The boats will all be Of tho same class.
TO be known as racing machines and all

OF them are to be ready for early work at
the beginning OF next season."
What effect this Will have across the
water can only be surmised. Many yachts
men think, however, that the same course
will be pursued there, and IL the present
feeling which exists, is overcome, as no
doubt 1t will be, next year will see feet
OF boats OF similar size in our waters COM
petng for the Americas cup.
The return to smaller boats has been
contemplated among few mem bers of
the New York Yacht Club since last
spring and il is probable that the unfortu-
nate ending of the international races
has precipitsted the decision of those
gentlemen who have ordered these rae
ing machines, to take immediate steps.
The great reduction in the attendant ex-
pense of running the smaller boats small
ler crews, less supplies and numerous
other lessened expenses will encourage
other yachtsmen to enter into conpetit-
ion and create a healthful stimulus to
the sport which has in measure shown
apathy from necessity on account of the
great expense. Whether preliminary races
will be held as heretofore and a single
boat chosen to represent America has not
been decided upon. This, OF course, will
depend on the attitude taken by yachts
men on the other side. In any event
nothing better could be done for the in
creasing, perpetuating and broadening
Of yachting interests.

The ODD FELLOWS.
The Bars Let Down Regarding the
Regalia. to BE Worn.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Sept. 20 "A de-
termined effort is being made by the Sow
ereigen Grand Lodge TO push the busi-
ness OF the session in order to adjourn
tomorrow.
Representative Grossmsn OF New Jersey
introduced a resolution providing that
suitable memorial pages OF deceased
members of Sovereign Grand Lodges, be
placed IN the revised journal. IL was
favora bly, reported by the committee on
legislation and adopted.
The committee on patriarch militant, to
whom was referred the recommendation
OF the grand sire in regard TO the changes
in the code OF that branch, reported a
number Of amendments and all were
ad opted.
The committee on legislation made a
report recommending the addition OF the
following resolution, making q change In
the bylaws OF the Sovereign Grand
Lodge, which had been introduced by
Representatives Wells and Lancaster
solved,
That the last clause OF article % of
the bylaws of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge, be amended by adding thereto
after the words "to wear" the following:
Providing that grand bodies may
adopt badge OF uniform size and de-
sign, the color to conform with existing
regulations.
The clause amended TO read as follows:
"At the session of grand bodies in lieu
of regalia herein before described, rib
bon may be worn OF the color OF the
highest degree the member has attained,
having attached thereto any jewel which
he Is entitled to wear, provided that the
Grand Lodge may adopt badge of uni
form size and design, the ccolor to con-
form with existing regulations"
The report and resolution were adopt.
ed 90 TO 20.
This matter refers to grand bodies in
all states and gives members of those
bodies the privilege of wearing a ribbon
designating their rank and station, in
stead of wearing regalias.
The proposition to create degree for
Rebekah state assemblies was defeated.
Past Grand Sire Nicholson of PhIla-
delphia moved tnat the report from the
judiciary committee on decisions of the
grand sire be acted upon. The motion
was carried and the report was peing con-
shered when the morning session closed.

A FAIR-MINDED VIEW.
Dunraven Failed to Uphold tho Best
Traditions of Yachting

LONDON. Sept. 20.-The Times gives
prominence today TO letter from Admi-
raj Fitzgerald, in which the writer says
that Lord Dunraven must expect that his
conduct in the matter o. the Americas
cup match races will be severely criti-
cised, and that II compares unfevorably
with that of Mr.. Iselin. His fair-minded
countrymen, Admiral Fitzgerald contin-
ues, have cause TO regret the course OF
Lord Dunraven, and all true lovers OF
sport must regret that Mr.. Iselin's gener-
Gus offer TO resail the second race was de-
clined.
Technically, the admiral says, Lord
Dunraven's refusal TO sail on the third
day was right, but the question should
have been treated upon broader grounds.
Americans throughout have shown the
true sporting instinct. The impartial
verdict of nautical history. the letter con-
cludys, will say that Lord Dunraven has
failed 10 uphold the best traditions OF
English yacht racing.

THE FAIR Is A BIG INSTITUTION.
During fair week there are enough
workers at Narragansett Park TO consti-
tute separate community in the town
OF Cranston OF very respectfully large
population.
That doesn't include the thirty and
forty and fifty thousands of people who
come out for a day and an evening. They
are Just the transient guests and in that
respect the fair is like a Cape Cod resort,
big enough for two or three cities sin the
season" and inhabited by only a handful
OF hard workers out of season.
For instance there were 0,000 people
looked out for and amused on Governors
Day and the estimated number OF people
who did the work is $780, That includes
everyone from President Perkins down
to the messenger boys, and they all
work hard.
There are 137 employees Of the fair MS
sociation itself, including the laborers
who keep the grounds in order, the gate
men and ticket sellers and clerks. They
all report every morning TO time keeper
Campbell and are under system that
works like clock work.
In the exhibition halls there are 137
booths and they employ 400 or more.
There are 175 tents IL l,uding the Mid
way and all the side shows, and they have
on an average ten employees apiece and
that Is 100 more, including all the sing
ers and dancers.

II rained so hard that they were flooded
out of the "ofiices,n - after the barrel that
served for a counter had floated out of
the door, and they borrowed the banjoes
IN Ellery Davis exhibit, and had dance
in the one hall that was then built. The
present well equipped offices show a good
deal of the IL years development OF the
State Fair Association. Another straw
that points the same way is that ground
privileges used TO sell for e, or else was
given away. Now they bring $40 apiece,
and there is demand for every inch of
available space.
ToDAY's RACES.
The judges kept their pomise to the
track followers this monring by starting
the races soon after 10 O'Clock. In fact,
the hour had scarcely arrived when the
horses for the first race were called upon
the track.
One of the most interesting events of
yesterday was the trot of Debut, by Dc
tator. The horse, who had record of
3 minutes, is owned by Mr.. L. T.. Per-
kins, and by his work yesterday after
noon this record was lowered to 2:25li.
Although there were but four starters in
the fifth heat of the 2:20 class stake race
they had great deal of trouble in get
ting away, Brunhilde being inclined to
run. Frenzie l.. took the lead at the
start but broke within the half mile and
Sirock and Red of Waranoke. Sirock
ran a length in the laed, but Red OF War
anoke forced his way ahead at the turn
and finished by neck.
Frank Agan had a cinch in the first
heat of the 2:10 class pace. with Guinette
and II. X. but length apart, few
lengths behind.
The sixth and last heat Of the 2:20
stake race was between Sirock and rren-
zie L.. Red OF Waranoke took the lead at
the start but broke at the first quarter and
finished last, Brunhilde being ruled out.
Sirock was an easy winner at the wire.

for Just so much and there Is no shirking.
There is no department of the whole
fair where there Is more work and more
details TO be looked after than in the
Entry. department OF which Miss Eliza
beth j. Patterson is chief. The clerical
work in this office was practically COM
pleted last night, but there is lot more
10 be done that will last until the middle
OF October and the work Of taking en-
tries began the first OF August, and
there are IL good weeksof il to do every
thing made necessary by one week Of
fair.
THERE ARE 5i3o EXHIBITORS.
And that isn't to be wondered at for
there are Just 5i30 exhibitors, each with
anywhere from one TO fifty entries
and that means that there are
nearly 20, 900 entries. One man with 80
hens is just as much trouble as 80 men
Jones comes in with a Plymouth Rock
hen 10 enter. To begin with Johns

number Is 537, and John Jones loses his
personal identity in the udesig mating
number CT 100 and for the rest of the
time, 80 far as the entry officer is con-
cerned, there is no John Jones, but
merely 800" All this ia carefully re-
corded in several places, and John gets a
duplicate check which will entitle him
10 his hen at the end of the fair. Then
the judges do the examining, make more
records which eventually come back to
Miss Patterson's Office for classification
and the writing of premium cards. The
same thing, OF course, is true of upright
pianos, and ornamental marble, ana
fancy needle work and swine and all the
rest.
Still the work is really easier now, Miss
Patterson says, than 1t was when she took
the Office III years ago, when there were
only 800 exhibitors, and the entry depart
ment was in COW shed, and the money
was counted on barrel. The president s
Office was in another cow shed. One day
