The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-05-21
{ MISCELLANEOUS ;

The following calculations, made
from the designs of the Columbia and
Shamrock, show the mathematics of
the two ships, and they show how very
close they are to each other in all that
goes to make up the modern racer that
the brains of Herreshoff and Fife could
produce:
Shamrock displacement tons, 1A.3;
displacement to each foot water line
length, 1906 area lateral plane, S75 square
fee: center lateral resistance from face of
stern. 50 feet; center of buoyancy from
face of stern, As feet inches; wetted sur
face, 26l0 square feet; area load water
plane, Las square feet area intersection,
119. IS square feet; co-efficient mid-section,
259 co-efficient of displacement, .12O; tons
per inch of immersion $50; metal center
above center of buoyancy, 9.52 feet! beam
extreme, "a feet inches; length over all,
1872 feet: draught, 20 feet.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES tons. 145: dis

| Western sportsmen, and particularly
| those residing in or near Chicago, in
| tend to make strenuous efforts to have
| the Grand American Handicap of 1900,
| the worlds greatest shooting event,
decided at the Windy City, and with
that end in view, have already made
preparations to locate grounds as near
the city as possible. Burnside Park,
managed by the veteran John Watson,
is the only shooting grounds for Chi
cagoans at present. These grounds are
quite a distance from the railroad sta
| ton, and the intention of the Western
ers is to locate between the station and
| Burnside Park. The new grounds are
to be ntued up with every requisite
| necessary to insure as fine and COM
| pletely appointed shooting home as
| there is in the world. The general plan
of Elkwood Park. now famous through
out the world wherever a trap shooter
| lives, is to be followed in a way. Elk
wood has three sets of traps arranged
in the shape of a clover leaf, and the
| Westerners propose to go one better
and have four leaf clover
The Illinois State Sportsmen's Asso-
citation has taken up the matter and 1t
proposes to issue stock to it's members
The new organization will build a
model club house with every modern
idea awaited of in it's construction
Pigeon lofts will be put up to hold 20
900 birds. The veteran Watson, VINO
has owned and managed Burnside ParR
for ten years, has been offered the po'
sition of superintendent of the new
| grounds.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the forthcoming wrestling
meeting at Minneapolis. when Hal
Adali. the "Sultan's Lion" is to try t.
throw Jack Carkeek and Duncan A
Mcmillan four falls in ninety minutes
Carkeek is training at Belolt and /:
apparently in fine condition: McMllia1
is working at West Superior, getting
into shape They will go to Mime
apolis in time for the match, which vii
be at the exposition building tomorrow
night.
The second celebration of the re
vived Olympian games is to be i'll Par
during the exposition next year. Their
was a self-appointed committee il
charge of those of SO, and it has per
petuated itself in connection with this
There have been various little bitches
and one result of these "moguls'
stufiness is that the games will no
be recognized as officially a part of tn
Paris exposition. These individuals
, presumably could not get enoug
i honor out of them if they were merge
in the bigger show. So far nothing ha
been done in this country as to secur
