SHAMRoCK'S LINES
Laid Bare When She Was Docked in
Eric Basin Yesterday.

ETlG oUhNH AGhAGEANy"
NEW YORK, Sept. s7.-The Sham
rock was to-day snfely dry dOcked Mt
Erie basin. Every precautIon was ta-
ken to prevent mishap to the big cut
ter and twenty minutes after she was
warped into position over the twelve
blocks at the bottom Of the dock, her
keel was resting securely IN place.
There was no attempt to hide the lines
OF the yacht from view. The yard was
open to the public from morning until
night and hundreds OF yachtsmen stood
for hours while the water was being
pumped out, that they might get look
at the underbody and keel Of the chal'
lenger.
Early this morning her crew wns put
to work scraplnE on the green paint
that covered her top sides, exposing the
true metal underneath. Just what
metal these two upper streaks OF plates
are composed Of, is secret, but 1t
looks much like composition OF alum
mum and nickel, very light and Mt the
same time very strong.
When the huh and keel were fully eE-
posed there were expressions Of dlsnp-
poIntmcnt on all sides. The experts eX-
pected to see something new and n
radical departure from the old type OF
English cutter. The Shamrock can be
described as n vessel with Britannia
body and u Defender I'm and lead, In

with greater draft than either. There
is nothing particularly handsome about
the cutters lines except that they are
all curves. there being no straight ones
except from the turn OF the guard
boards to the lead.
In comparison with the Columbia, the
Shamrock is fuller bodied, especially
amidshIps, has about n foot more bcnm
and n draft about ten Inches greater.

9 SPAWNING BEDS SPOILED.
Another Theory Advanced Regarding the Lake
Cobbosseecontee Fishing.

Hon. L. D. Carver, the State libra
rian, who probably holds the record of
the number of bass and trout caught in
anyone day this year in Great pond.
has an opinion Of his own in regard to
the fishing in Lake Cobbosseecontee.
He has been reading the opinions adj
vanced in the Journal. one of which
was to the effect that there was too
much natural food for the fish: an
other that there had not been sufficient
protection, and still another statement
from another paper that said the
natural food had nothing to do with il.
as fish that is we'll fed will gobble
artificial bait as readily when filled
with food. as when hungry He says
doubtless all are right in a way, but
he has still another idea to advance.
The lake will not for many years
offer so good fishing as Great pond"
said Mr.. Carver, Thursday 1T cannot
in my opinion do 50 as the natural
conditions of the lake are not equal 10
those of the Belgrade sheet of water.
There are natural spawning beds in all
parts of Great pond. but in Cobbossee-
contee they have all been DESTROYED BY
the building of the dam at the outlet
which caused the artificial banks to the
lake. Look at the lake in low water
and see what small advantages there
are for the fish as a spawning bed. All
about the shores will be seen low.

soil. There is nothing there as a
spawning bed.
Il believe when they spoiled the
natural beds Of the lake they injured
the fishing privileges. Possibly when |
the stumps on the shores have rotted !
away and the soil has worked down |
through to the sand and gravel. there |
may be good fishing in the lake, but |
doubt if it comes in any great |
amounts until then.

but the money order and remittances
in postage stamps.
The latter has caused what is popu-
larly termed among business men the
sticky stamp nuisance" Millions Of
dollars in stamps are sent by small
purchasers in the mail order business
as remittances, and as a consequence
vast quantities, aggregating many mil
lions Of dollars, Of postage stamps are
used as currency. Wherever there are
mail order houses, department stores.
newspapers and many other industries
of similar nature, are congestions Of
stamps which have been used for this
purpose. The surplus becomes so large
that it is impossible for the receiver to
use them, and he is finally obliged II
dispose Of them al considerable dis
count from the face value. The dis
counts range from three to ten per
cent, according to the size Of the
stamps. the larger denominations SELL
ing in the cities less readily than the
tWos and ones.
The aggregate amount of stamps
thus in use cannot be computed. but it
is 50 great, and the disposal of the sur
plus of these stamps is 50 difficult that
more and more people are becoming
interested and DESTROYS of some relief.
1t is believed that the members of the
convention will have obtained informa-
ton from every part of the country
showing to what extent this prevails.
ana that intelligent action will be
taken to suggest to Congress some
practical method by which small sums
may be RENTED through the postOfice
at a minimum cost, or entirely free,
which will at once relieve the country
Of the present stamp nuisance and

this will be a very great step in prac |
teal business, and be very popular
with all persons needing such a con
venience.
