ness of the Shamrock about the Column bia.
 The Coumbias fin is practically the same as the Shamrock's, both British and American designers seeming to have agreed on this point. There Is, however, q difference.
 The Herreshoff keel is several feet shorter than the Shamrock's, probably fully six feet, a fact which will give the Columbia good deal of advantage over the Irish craft. It is besides a finer fin in every way. Just as the Columbia 8 body is finer than the Shamroeks s. She will have nothing to drag through the water. Whatever advantage the Sham rock has in greater sail area than the Columbia she will need when pitted against the American beauty. The Shamrocks main boom is over half a dozen feet longer than the Columbia's, and the latter's gaff Is very much short CT, showing that the Irish yacht will carry very much more sail.

Her Rilge Less Easy.
 New York, Sept 2S.--The Columbia arrived at the navy yard soon after 9 o'clock this morning, and at 9:30 she was in position in dock No. 3 and the water was being pumped out or it.. There was tWenty-seVen feet on the slll when she crossed it, plenty of room for a much larger vessel She left her moor ings at New Rochelle at 6 o'clock, and as the sound was little rough her fore sail was hoisted to steady her in the tow down.
 Oliver Iselin left the yacht immediate ly the dock was closed on her. and was met by Woodbury Kane and Herbert C. Leeds, who had been over to Erie basin the preceding evening to see the lrlsh racer Mrs. Iselin came later, and then MT. Hyslop, the official neasurer of the New York Yacht club. He, however, did not stay longer than it took him to shake hands with MT Iselin.
 At II o'clock it was calculated that the Columbja's keel was close to the blocks and a diver went down to see that the keel blocks were all right. Half an hour later Captain Bowles or the naval construction department, who had charge of the docking of the craft, shouted to workmen to SC their shores ready, as the yacht was grounding. The Columbia settled on the keel blocks in twenty-one feet of water. Meanwhile her sailors were busy giving the boom and mast a new coat of ream-colored paint Others were overheard smooth ing off her topsides, but without disturb ;nI, ,1, during the races
 The waters were pumped very slowly out of the immense dock, and not until noon was well advanced could glimpse be had of her underbody. The bronze has become completely green-looking, almost as if it had been painted that color. As the waters fell, the great overhang of Columbia, both fore and aft, was plain. It Is this great over- hang forward, cut away nearly to mid ships, that gives her such graceful bow, so entirely different from that of the Shamrock. Her bilge is remarkably easy, and every line shows how well she can be driven through the water. She is absolutely without the fullness that gives the Shamrock a barrel appear ance, and nothing whatever of that shoulder which in the Irish racer offers such resistance.
 The overhang aft gives her beauti full counter, which adds greatly to her gracefulness. It is not as broad as the 
 She looks smaller than the Shamrock. Generally speaking, both boats have strong points of resemblance; but Fife has failed to strike the beauty of the Herreshoff's creation. He has made a powerful craft, while the Bristol gen. jus has produced dainty thing, at the same time securing just as much as the British designer. There is nothing of the hardness and buki-

That shivered with voluptuous ecstasy,
And bresthed warm gratitude in whispers low
When thy delicious GOODNESS silver keen
The fever quenched of every leaf and bough,
For on the yearning garden Of my soul
Thy freshness strange and holyfSindness stole,
Quickening its dying blooms and languid
green.
Now thou art gone. thy gracious task com.

And, like a naiad issuing from a stream,
Her smooth wet limbs bright in a sudden
CLEAN,
Her parted lips and eyes divineiy sweet,
Full Of immortal youths undying dream
The earth appears. A deeper crimson CLOVIS
In the rich bosom Of the dripping rose
From leaf and boush of yonder happy beech
Large twinkiing rsindrops slip,
Large raindrops sparkle down the ripening
peach
And tremble on the poppy's dropping lip,
While the long sunlit breezes fresh that pass
Over yon distant feds of waving grass
Feed soul and sense with precious doors blown
From the deep heart of dreaming forests old.
From peaceful meadows verdurous valleys
lone.
And uplands wandering into western gold.
