June 8Ih.

There are indications at the Here

fall will not be used in the same boat
Immediately. Yesterday IT was housed
over with the board construction that
covered IL last winter. II seems likely
now that the new steel mast under con-
struction will be placedlin the old boat.
The spar was all plated Monday. The
Defender still lies in the stream, with
out any spars in place excepting the
bowsprit and az the crew has nearly
completed the scraping and painting Of
the boat. the only delay SENS to be on
the steel mast.
The last plate was put on the stern
OF the Columbia Monday. The rivet =
ers are pushing their work steadily. but
not rushing. The bobstay casing has
been fastened on the stem. There Is
still three weeks work To be done on
the beat.Word comes from g. q, Ise=

take place June s. Nothing has been
done with the new Oregon pine mast

The pressure of legislation, real and
proposed. against the wearing of bird
ornaments as a feature of millinery
has compelled the dreadful admission
from New York miliner that the
most of the feathers and such sold by
the trade are nothing else but the clev-
erly worked over sheddings of common
hens and chickens. Such an admission
is likely to accomplish more than anJ
legislation to make this sort of millin-
cry questionable.
