the yacht owners of America, is the tea merchant who dealt out teas so long and so successfully that he landed himself in the Prince of Wales set many years ago. Though a universal sportsman he is not of the "Clyde faction which defended and still defends Lord Dunravens action of three years ago, but, rather, he is of the Princes set which, though outwardly friendly, is often at variance with the Clyde faction.
 Fife, the builder of the Valkyrie and the Herreshoff of England, Is to build the yacht which will be known as the sham rock" Fife is to lay his plans before the New York Yacht club this month for ac- ceptance and, if approved. Herreshon will be notified and the two builders will set to work to construct their respective boats.
 While the challenger has certain privi- leges, he must observe certain rules. The challenger is expected to describe the plans of his yacht in a general way and the challenged one accords with them. In this
The age-herald., 1898-09-04

way true sportsmanship is preserved. Neither is taken by surprise and neither has undue advantage of size, sail, or con- struction The art in building to get speed lies in the make, fit and set of the sails, the size and general manner of the boat and the way in which 1t is manipulated.
 When a challenge is sent, it is in the name of the club to which the challenger belongs. In this case the Royal Ulster Yacht club challenged the New York Yacht club. The challenge was promptly accepted and the gentlemen who acted through their clubs, namely, Sir Thomas Lipton of England, and the American sym dicate, set to work to build their boats.
 THE GREAT COST.
 The general public has no adequate idea what it owes to it's millionaires for this yachting treat. It costs hundreds of thous- ands to build yacht and race it. The ex- act figures are kept quiet. but they leak out.

 WHAT IT COSTS TO DEFEND T1

Ledyard, ex-Commodore D. M. Brown, F. w. J. Hurst, J. Beavor Webb, ex-Commo- dore James D. Smith, Frederick T. Ad- ans, J. Fred Tams, John p. Wilson, D. B. Ravens, Harrison B. Moore, E. T. Wor- den, A. Le Moine, J. B. Ecclesine, Jr., l.. w. Fisher, A. Cary Smith, William Gard ner and other sportsmen of that stamp and together these millionaires have raised a sum for the construction of boat worthy the America's cup defense
 Herreshoff. the builder of the present cup holder, the Defender, is to design the yacht and yachtsmen are delighted over the opinion expressed by Herreshoff that he can lower the Defenders record five min- utes over thirty mile course.
 THE CHALLENGER.
 Sir Thomas Lipton, who has challenged
The age-herald., 1898-09-04

propriation must be made for it unless, as is often the case, the millionaires person. ally put their hands down in their pock- cts and pay for the dinners in lump sum. These personal entertainments have cost J. Pierpont Morgan and August Belmont what would, to ordinary man, be for- tune for life, during the past few years.
 When the race is run and the boat inal- ly docked for the winter, the sum which she has cost is so large that it would ap- pal a man of ordinary means. A quarter of a million is a low estimate of the amount needed to defend Americas cup.
 In olden days when the Magic and the Columbia and the Madalaine raced, yachts were cheaper and the race was conducted on less extravagant lines, but in these days when the navy is a fad and the na- tion's honor at sea Is to be defended, the millionaire puts his hand in his pocket and spends a thousand easily as though it were penny.

Sunday noon we were started for the division hospital five miles away There was one ambulance and the rest were com- missary wagons An ice cart is 9 palace car to them. After going 0 quarter of a mile I could stand 1t no longer. The driver stopped and I got out to walk the rest of the way.
 "I was alone, and on the way heard troop of cavalry coming. I thought they were Spaniards, and tried to get into the bushes. My legs stuck out and they dis covered me. It so happened that 1t was a troop of United States cavalry and one of

 We had gone about 300 feet when a bullet from a sharpshooter struck him in the left temple killing him instantly. He dropped and I fell over on top of him.

 "I reached the division hospital finally and was attended to- That Sunday morn ing they brought the commissary wagons again with hay in them to take us nine miles to Siboney. The road was in terri ble condition. One minute the front of the wagon would be up in the air and the next it would be down to the hubs in mud One wagon tipped over, and one of the men when picked up was found to have died from the shock. We finally got to Siboney all right"

While admitting that the with Spain and
the disagreeable weather in the spring injured
the bicycle business this year. all the makers
seem confident that next season Will be the ban
ner one in the history of the trade. The plan
of having a National cycle show next winter is
also being discussed by some Of the large man
ufacturers but on rather different lines than
those held here OfOre. There Will not be such
q lavish expenditure Of money. and one show
will be held instead Of two. If the present sug-
gestons are carried out the show may be held
IN this city. possibly some time in late De
cember.
Real friends OF cycle racing do not believe
that the general interest in the sport is dying
out. They do believe. however that the sport
has not. to date, been conducted on proper
lines. Many mistakes have been made in the
rast by promoters. and some of the officials Of
the League Of American Whoelmen have been
guilty of blunders which have reacted against
the best interests OF the game. Promoters have
taken to the game expecting TO reap harvest
and in consequence they have arranged expen-
sive programmes which the clubs cannot hope
10 compete against. Some Of the promoters
have already gone TO the wall. and those In Il
position to know see TO think that there will
be more failures before the present season is
over. Those who predict however. that the
League OF American Wheelmen will decide to
give up the control Of the sport may be greatly
mistaken. The League has gone too far to sur
render this time. II has kept the sport
clean and there is organization in exist
ence to-day as well qualified to take charge OF
the sport the chances are that the League Of
American Wheelmen VIII continue to handle
cycle-racing on the track but probably under
rather different arrangements than exist to-
day. Many Of the veteran League Of American
Wheelmen members think that the best solution
OF the problem would be for the League of
