All Matters Regarding the Measuring

New York, Sept. ga general meet
ing of the New York Yacht club on the
challenge of the Royal Ulster Yacht club
with the committees of that club, the
conditions for the sailing Of the race
made Sept. 6, 1898, We're modified to read
as follows:
First, as to signals, a preparatory sig
nal shall be given fifteen minutes before
the starting signal and a warning slgnal
five minutes before the starting signal.
In case of a change in the time of start
ing the same signal shall be used. The
change is in addition of the warning gun
and provision that in case of a change
in the time of starting, the same signals
be used.
Second, the provisions that if a race is
not started by 1870 p. M. the regatta COM
mittee shall have the right to declare the
race postponed for the day and that
10 race shall be started after 8 p. m.
was changed to provide that no race shall
be started after 1880 p. m.
Third, the provisions for the presence
! on board during the races of a represent
ative named by a competitor was chang
ed by adding that a representative of
the competing yachts should be present
! during all measurements.
Sir Thomas j. Upton and Mr.. C. Oliver
1selin also signed the following conditions
to the original agreement:
"Inasmuch as we are of the opinion
that the Americas cup races are no less
a test of the strength of the construction
of the competing vessels than of their
sailing qualities and it is deemed advisa :
BILE to avoid the embarrassment in which
a vessel finds herself when called upon
to decide whether to withdraw from a
race upon the occurrence of an accident
disabling her competitor, it is agreed that
in the races between the Shamrock and
the Columbia each race shall stand by
the consequences Of an accident happen
ing to her and that the uninjured vessel
shall sail out the race"
On the subject of o~vercrowding by
cursion steamers the joint committee
agreed upon the following:
I'm case either contestant shall com
plain to the committee OF challenge that
his vessel has been interfered with by
excursion steamers or other vessels IL
any race the committee will tax the
complaint into consideration and if il
finds it well founded will seek a confer.
ence with the committee of the Roya
Ulster Yacht club with a view of az
ranging for the sailing of subsequent
races without public notice.

are most plentiful says the Savannah
News. Moses makes living by cap
turing snakes and selling them. This
is the truth, strange us ii may seem.
One day lately he killed large one
with IL rattles on it. This was fat
snake and Moses ate it. The other day
he brought very large snake to the
city, toying to sell its hide. There were
23 rattles on it. The snake was very
poor, and Moses said 1t would not do to
eat, and he stuffed its hide and sold it
for q good price. Every year Moses
makes n good deal of money selling
snake OIL He says right down the
vertebrae of rattlesnake is n fatty
streak Of flesh that makes an oil, when
fried, that will cure any case or rheu-
matism. 1t Is strange to how many
people he sells this rheumatic snake oil.
He has long list of certificates from
people he has cured. Some of them are
from intelligent whites, who declare
that the oil has cured them when all
other remedies have failed. lie sells q
vial of the oil for one dollar and guar
antees lasting cure.
