YACHTING.
Proposed New Girth Rule Unpopular-The
Amendment Hangs Fire.

The adoption OF a general measurement rule
and classification for the yachts Of this coun-
try. which has been the ambition Of the men,
bers of the Yacht Racing Union and the organi-
cations enrolled in that body. seems to be as
far from becoming a fact as 1t ever was. Two
years ago a ommitt COMPOSED Of Eme-
Illus Jarvis. Newberry d. Lawton. j. B.
Macdonough. F. BOVINE Jones. Oliver f. Crom-
we'll and a few other yachtsmen was appointed
to consider suggestions made by yacht de-
signers and yacht owners and try and frame a
rule that would please all and help to developa
good type Of boat. it being generally conceded
that the old rule-square root Of sale area plus
water line length divided by two-was unsatis-
factory and gave to builders Of yachts
too much unfair leeway. The committee
worked hard. Several designers. including n.
C. Herreshoff. John Hyslop and Irving Cox.
were asked to give their opinions and each
framed a rule that he thought would answer.
Three members Of the committee went to
England. and while there discussed the
and made a study Of the girth rule that
is now in force there, They were won over to
| cecded in inducing the members of the union
to think that they could not do better than
fEG ngpIish E rule. The The Sd'f"uI s' to the u ifim I rse
they represented tho action taken by
| rule be adopted. Then the trouble began.
Many OF the members Of the clubs were op-
posed to this rule. and when the question was
put TO ii vote some OF the smaller clubs adopted
It. while practically all the larger ones refused
to have anything TO do with it. the only ono Of
the large clubs that has adopted 1t being the
Atlantic Club. and now the members OF this
organization are sorry.
The New York Yacht Club never was repre-
sented in the union. and the old rule has not
been touched. The l.archmont Club. while it
took some little interest in the suggestion that
uniform rules in all the clubs would greatly
help yachtsmen, has made no change. and still
supports the old rule. The Scawanhaka- CORN
THAN Yacht Club. after a full discussion
Of the proposed change. has decided that
the girth rule is no better than the old
rule and has declined to make any change un-
til a better substitute is offered. Now all the
work has to he done over again and this sum
and after the racing is over another ATTEMPT
will be made to frame a rule that will be gem

railroad across Mexico to the United
States. With this object in view Owen
secured q grant from the Mexican gov
ernment of lands aggregating oo,Ooo
acres, with privileges that gave d
opportunity for immense wealth. Con

with the United States at Deming, N.

only 400 miles shorter than any other
line between the two oceans, but would
never be blockaded by snow. 49,,

the right OF way included some OF the
finest forests and mineral lands In
Mexico. The colony was firmly ests 30 o.

souls. Work on the irrigation ditch
progressed rapidly, but fatal errors
we're made by the engineers who had
charge of the work.
tThe first part of the grade had q
fall of only six inches to the mile
the consequence was that the ditch
soon filed up with sediment ana I'M
peded the flow of water. There should
have beer q fall OF four feet to The mile
at the beginning, lessening down to SIX
inches. This ditch represented an
outlay of 5000, 600 and it is almost
worthless now. However, had not
other matters interfered, this could
have been remedied and the colony
would have prospered.

the colony. They were willing
enough to enter into the scheme OF CO.
operation as long as they were bene-
flied, but when it came to carrying out
the true spirit of cooperation and help
ing others they declined to do their
share. But for this, the scheme would
undoubtedly have been successful.
The $50 or more families who now
compose the Topolobampo colony do
not operate their farms on the CO.
operative plan. Most OF them are
prospering. One of the latest indus-
tries which is fourishing is the sugar
industry. A great deal of cane is be-
ing raised there now aud several uga
mills are in operation. Ocean traffic
has never been inaugurated, but the
possibilities in that respect are better
now than ever. About LOCO acres are
under cultivation and everything is
being raised that fourishes in emf
