The VALkYRIE.
The English Craft Greatly Ad-
mired by Yachtsmen.
WILL SHE WIN THE CUP?
HARDLY, But DEFENDER WILL
MEET \ WORTHY FOE.

| For those of our readers who
may be interested in the coming
international Yacht race we give
brief description of the boat as
appeared to representative of
the New York Times. while in
the dry dock:
"The Nalky-ie is a Watson
boat all over. She looked to be
an enlarged and widened Val
kyrie II. She has the bow, en>
trance, and form of water line of
Nalkyrie II. differing only in
having more beam. Her mid
ship section is shoaler. Her
under water body is not very
large, and it is doubtful if her
displacement exceeds I55 tons
She has easy lines. Her bilge,
while being fairly full, impress
es one more, due to her hollow
garboards. Her bilgc is by no
means what one would call A,
slack bilge.
The yachts overhangs are very
long, particularly the overhangs
aft, and she must be I2S feet on
the deck. The midship section
has round, full, easy side to it. !
1t measures about 20 feet on the
waterline. From this point the
line is brought down, giving an
easy curve, vet powerful shape
to the bilge. 1t is a section
showing great stability of form,
and will offer great resistance to
heeling. !
The yacht draws between 10
feet 9 inches and 20 feet, the
greatest draught being at the
stern post. She has, it would
appear, about Is tons of lead On
her keel. It is not bulb shaped
like the Defenders, but straight
up and down. At the top this
lead has considerable rake being
s to 10 feet higher at the forward
ond than aft. The top measures
about 80 feet, while the length
OH the bottom is about 20 feet.
There is drop of about IS in,
from the forward end to the
'ternpost on the bottom Of the
ead.s
The rake of the sternpost is
about 20 degrees, while the rake
If the sternpost On the Defender
s about 40 degrees.

PAPER SOCKS.

The day of the paper collar
passed away some years ago and
though paper is used to-day in
many more forms than ever
dreamed of a few decades back,
this cheap article OF haberdash-
cry has almost disappeared from
the market. But there is prom
isc that it will have a worthy
successor in the paper sock, says
Shoe and Leather Facts, which is
the latest novelty to be ground
out Of the pulp mill. The me-
chanism has been perfected to
produce a paper yarn of such
consistency that it is capable of
being woven into fabric soft
enough for wear. A special
merit is the cheapness Of this
newly-devised material socks be-
ing produced at retail price of
about 3 cents pair. At this
rate there is no reason why the
world may not be supplied with
foot coverings. At three cents
a pair the bachelors life will BET
come gladstone and happy. It
is said that substances can be
used in the preparation of this
materials to make the socks SO
impervious to water that they
can stand several washings be
fore falling apart. This, too, is
a great boon. May the scent
paper socks have a ready market.
May it be followed by a Io-cent

great deal of it gets away. The
towns Of Arapahoe aud Cloud Chief
are deserted and not man is left
on his claim in that country Prob
ably 100 men have left here with
picks and shovels and assay ing in
struments to learn the truth. If
they find that gold is found IN pay
ing quantities, great rush is sure
to occur.
The lack OF information about the
gold fields is making the people
restless and uneasy, because if there
is anything in the reports they want
to get there, but sensational reports
of gold finds have been sprung on
them too often they have become
very weary. The sensational reports
sent out from Guthrie, 200 miles
from the fields, are absurd. Assays
