NOW FOE THE RAUE.
The Yachts All Ready For the Inter-
national Fray Tomorrow.


New York, Oct. because of the
welcome to Admiral Dewey the two
yachts that will battle for international
laurels during this week We're visited by
comparatively few sightseers during the
past few days. The crew Of the Column
bin completed the task Of cleaning the
underbody of the yacht and spent the
greater part of Saturday painting her
top sides. This work was performed
with the greatest care. After the color
was applied it was rubbed smooth with
water and then with pumice stone.
Afterward the men went over the en-
tire hull with cotton waste and removed
any particles Of pumice stone that ad-
hered to the metal or paint. Riggers in
the meanwhile were at work fitting a
brass cap on the topmast in order to ia
cilitate raising and lowering the spar.
During the afternoon all the woodwork
and interior fittings of the craft were
taken ashore, and big iron crane lifted
the mattings, pieces of canvas and other
paraphernalia out in big box, which
was afterward slowed in storehouse.
Mr.. Iselin was at the navy yard during
the greater part Of the day and showed
some friends over the yacht
A rumor was in circulation that the
Columbia will be measured in Erie basin
alongside the Shamrock instead Of in the
navy yard drydock, as previously report
ed. Owing to the restrictions that pre-
vailed relative to passes few persons
visited the yacht in her dock, but at Erie
basin, where a view of the Shamrock
could be obtained without the formality
Of yards of red tape, many visitors gazed
at the Irish boat and commented on her
appearance. The crew there was also
finishing the polishing process to which
the yachts underbody had been subject
ed. 1t shone like gold in the afternoon
sunshine and formed a pleasing contrast
to her green top sides. The work of
overhauling the yacht is complete, the
last thing being to put an extra strut on
the mast in order partly to relieve the
strain of the heavy sail. This strut was
bolted in place about Is feet below the
auxiliary spreaders, and stay was then
passed over it, leading from the mast
head to the deck, where 1t sets up with q
turn buckle.
