sailors,a cooks galley, and cabin for the
owners whenever they choose to occupy
it. but the majority of space below deck
is given up to a large sail locker. In
other words, the Defender is a racing m a
chine, and her interior has been con-
structed accordingly. From stem to stern
the inside Of the hull is finished in white
zinc paint, which looks neat. and pre-
sents a smooth. glistning surface.
The construction shows seventy-nine
frames of steel. twenty and one-fourth
inches apart. At the ninth frame from
the bow is q steel bulkhead three-eig ghths
of an inch thick. Forward of this is the
chain locker, and aft of it, extending
abaft the mast, are the crews quarters,
which are entered through BOBBY hatch.
The berths. which are on the port side,
consist of light steel frames. which can
be lowered when in use. There are bunKs
for twenty eight men, arranged in tiers
three deep. On the starboard side are
the quarters of Captain Hank Half, Assis-
tant Captain Terry, AID the mates. They
are comfortab BILE but very plain. Below
the com bined quarters is the for ecastle.
just aft the mast is the cooks galley,
which is shut off from the crews quarters

inch in thickness. Aft of this is the big
| sail locker, which extends through the
| stern oveIbang. The height, or clearance
from the cabin floor to beam, is six feet
| nine inches. The cabin floor is sup
| ported by wooden beams, four by two
| inches, while the cabin floor brackets are
of three siXteenth-inch steel and are nile
inches long.
The Valkyrie's racing abilities in
American waters will not be shown until
she and the Defender m eet. 1t can be
seen by the accom- panying illustrations
that the English boat has more beam
than the American and quite as much
draft. 1t Is believed that she is boat of
immense power, but her lines in general
are not as easy as the Defenders, and it
IS not probale that she will be as quick
in stays as the latter.
The body of the EnglIshman is much
the shallower, and is on the "skimming
dish" order, type at which the British
ers used to laugh in ridicule. That they
have adopted the skimmlng dish while
America has used the main points of the
old English idea is one of the wonders of
this years race. The Valkyries beam is
about twenty-seven feet, while the De-
ender's is Il tfi1e more than tw enty-three.
The underbody of the Valkyrie has not
che grace of her American sister. The
lines ale sharp and severe. while the De-
fender is solid mass of curves But
these facts do not detract from the ability
as racer, for these reasons: The De-
fender has beaten the Vigilant by from
two to twenty minutes. Last year the
Britannia beat the Vigllant in most hol-
low fashion. This year the Vakyre beat
the Britannia by nineteen minutes.
Thus the Vakyrie has beaten the con-
queror OF the Vigilant by greater margin
than the Defender has beaten the Vigi-
liant.
The dimensions of the Valkyrie have
never been given officially. 1t is aurmised
that she is 130 feet over all, 80 feet on the
water line, and q feet beam. Until the
official III measurement is made, it will be
i'm possible to tell which will give the
other time allowance.
Like the Defender, who has Captains
Hank Haff and Terry as shippers, the
Valkyrie has two captains. William Gram
field is the chief. He is a big, light
haired, tair-faced man, a true type of the
figured as expert racing shippers, and he
is about the best of them all. He has
been in the employ of Lord Dunraven for
several years, and has won counties, no.
taole races. Captain Sycamore, the asso-
ciate skipper, is shade under 40, and
hood. He made his first reputot tion on
the various racers owned by the marquis
of Ailsa, and he is classed With the best
skippers of Great Britain.
1t is undecided yet what the sail area
of either the Defender or the ValKyrie
will be. The Defender has four suits of
sails, and. as she has proved her ability
to carry an immense spread. it is prob
able that she will carry greater expanse
of sail chan has ever yet been sported BY
single sticker. Only her owner and
skippers know the sail capacity of the
Valkyrie III, and with true English con.
seryatism, have not made the secret pub.
lie.
The herald., 1895-08-25

That the Defender will prove the .su.
perior Of the Valkyrie III in windward
work her recent races have satisfactorily
shown. Her ability to beat to windward
is due to her immense draft, which, in
stead OF being eighteen feet, is twenty
feet, or as much as great teel-clad
warship draws. Looking at the bow
on picture of the Defender, an excellent
view of the bulb-shaped keel, or fin,
can be had. Here is where the great
power of the boat comes in. In his
former boats. He-rcshoff always got a
great deal OF power from large area of
water-line, round frames and full lines
but in the Defender he has gone in for
easy form, getting the power from the
great mass of concentrated lead placed
at the lowest possible point; lower than
ever before on this yacht.
Herreshoff believes that successful
boat in American waters should race on
an even keel. That the Defender is the
stiffest racing machine yet created was
proven in way that almost alarmed her
admirers on the day she broke her gaff
off Newport after making the last turn.
A hard blast of wind hit her immense
spread of canvas, and instead OF bending
to it like the other yachts, she stood as
straight as the proyerblal church. Under

Before many days have gone by the
two great yachts, Defender and Valkyrie
III, will be placed in dry docks for the
last grooming and screwing up before
the contest which will decide the owner
ship of the Americas cup, that treasured
emblem of yachting supremacy of the
world.
The contest is OF interest to every
patriotic American, to every man and
woman and child whose blood goes bound
ing through their veins when the screech
of the eagle browns the roar of the
mighty British lion. For over forty
years the Englishmen have been trying
to capture the cup without avail. There
are many skilled yachtsmen who think
the chances OF the foreigners are better
this year than ever before.

this article is an illustration showing the
home of the rainbow trout, from the
famous rocks or crags, from which this
mountain resort derives its name, in the
background. No artist can do justice to
the majestic beauty of these grand old
bleak rocks. whose sharp. pointed spires
and domes. rising thousands of feet above
the timb ber line of the tallest mountains,
and clear cut as the cameo, against the
western sky, land they leave an impression
upon tho observer that is not produced
by viewing the giandest cathedrals of the
old world. For they are. after all. but
the work of men. while the crags-fash-
iontd by the hands of the almighty Gre
ator of the universe-fill the soul of the
observer with awe, as though he stood

cathedral not erected by or for men, but

tho immense strain something had to
give way, and the great sixty odd foot

an unlooked-for catastrophe, but Heres

this will bo of great service to her. An
examination OF her lines shows the reason
of this quickness. Notwithstanding her
