The Racing Yachts Compared.

Captain Hank Han in Philadelphia
Press
NEW YORK. October 2-It Is always
interesting to see two rival yachts, espe-
cially when they happen TO be the chal-
lenger for and defender OF the Americas
Cup, lying side by size at close range.
u gives one on opportunity 10 size them
up and make comparisons. such an op-
portunity was afforded me to-day. as tho
Shamrock and Columbia lag side by side
az the Brooklyn uayy-yard, While John
Hysiop took their official measure. They
are certainly the handsOmest pair OF IN
ternati0nal racers that 4 ever saw. Both
looked nt TO sail FOR a mans life. having
been tuned up 10 the highest pitch for
the coming battle.
As the Columbia passed the Shamrock,
when the former WAS tOwed out Of the
dock. / lad chance 10 size up their
spars. The mast of the Shamrock seemed
10 tower at least feet above that of tho
Columbia and her boom also looked few
feet longer. She also has longer bow
spirit.
Thus IL would appear that the foreigner
oyertOps our boat In sail area. There -
considerable difference In the appearance
Of the boats above water. The Shamrock
has more sheer and more freebOard. she
IS higher AFT as well as forward, and
looks like q decidedly able craft. though
as she sits on the water she impresses
one AZ the heavier harder boat 10 drive.
Yet, i must say that the Shamrock IS u
boat that grows on ne. She VIII bear
Inspection. The more 1 see OF tho boat
the better like her. True. she Is not SO
finely trimmed nor 80 pleasing o. the eye
as the Columbia. and i expect the latter
boat TO win. but / Will not be surprised
TO see the Shamrock win one or more OF
the races 10 be sailed. OF course, the
challenger has the greater displacement
and will drive harder, but she may have
enough more driving power In her great
sail plan 10 make up for this greater dis
placement. II Fife has improved on Nal-
l<yrie III as much as Herreshon has Inn
proved on Defender, tho American boat
will have nothing TO throw away In wind
ward work in a moderate breeze, because
under those conditions the Nalkyrie came
dangerously near being as last as the
Defender
/ think the Columbia will beat the
shamrock before the wind a great deal
more than In windward work or on y
reach. because the latter's lower lead Will
make her stand up TO her work and Der
longer keel will keep her from sliding on
when on the wind. The two boats look
to be more evenly matched than any pair
az international racers / nave ever seen.
and. as I have already said. while
think tho Columbia Will win. l am pre-
pared for any surprise that may be In
store for US.

NEW YORK. October 4--To-day's stock
! market was dun. but frmer than that Of
yesterday. Many railroads show net gains
OF nearly point, and a few exceed that
figure a number Of the active Industrials
I gained 60 points to-day, and Pullman
/ closed points higher on the day. There
was an appreciate relaxation I'm tibet
strngency Of call money. and the specu-
lative contingent expressed hopes Of
easier conditions at an early period. This.
combined with excellent traffic returns
from railroads. and the generally pros
porous condition Of business. added to the
unwilingness Of holders TO part with se-
curities. Offerings were on a very light
scale all day in spite Of the continued
high rate for money up TO delivery hour
Borrowers satisfied their neals early I'm
the day. and the rate fell to per cent.
toward the close of the market This in
vted q rather active buying movement
I'm the late dealings. and in some stocks
there was an active demand by shorts
causing a sudden jump in prices. The
closing generally was firm, though slight
ly below the best.
EXCHANGE ADVANCES FURTHER.
Sterling exchange at Paris and Berlin
near the gold-export point. In New York
the rates for sterling were steady. Money
continues to move from New York to the
interior in quite large amounts, but the
outgO to the Sub-Treasury is somewhat
diminished. The October taxes in New
York which have been paid with unusual
prOmptitude. are finding their way back
into the banks. and plan is reported 70
redeem at once in advance Of maturity
a bout 81 900 600 of New York bonds, is
sued I'm anticipation of taxes. With the
prospect Of some relief thus offered, the
continued stiffness Of the money rate
was not mucl regarded in the stock mar
ket. It is not expected, however. that
money will work TO an easy basis Tor
some time TO come. Six per cent. is bid
for time loans, but very little Is offered
on those terms.

There was a serious accident at the
new pumping station of the Riverside
works at Benwood last night about
1880 O'Clock, the victims being Thorn

the bottom Of the opening for the foun-
dation for the structure engaged in
making excavations, and were beneath
a heavy beam, which was being drawn
by means of rope to the top of the
bank. The rope suddenly broke and
the beam fell to the ground. striking
the two workmen. Mr. Rogers had his
ribs broken and was hurt internally.
The Ohio man, who came to Benwood
recently, sustained severe sprain OF
his left limb and several bad bruises.
