Columbia's Strength in Light Winds and
Shamrock's in q Stif Breeze.

Shamrock's In Stih Breeze.
Now that the Columbia and Shamrock are in
the dry docks 1t is easy to see the differences
In the two models and make comparisons. 1t
would have been more interesting to yachts
men II the yachts had been put in the Same
dock as was done when the Nalkyrie
came over here. but @. oliver Iselin
did not want this and 80 got permission
to have the Columbia sent to the Navy Yard.
Sir Thomas Upton suggested that MS there
was so much interest being taken In the two
yachts that it would be q good thing to dock
them together and to charge q snail fee to see
them and that the money obtained In this way
should be given to some popular charity.
The Column bia is regarded by all experts as
having the best model. Her lines are easy and
fine. aud II she does not win the races 1t will be
great surprise. The Shamrocks bow 10 thin
ner than that OF the Columbia. and the forward
overhang is not SO long. On deck the Columbia
Is at least five feet longer than the challenger
and both have practically the same water line
length. having been built up to the limit. 80
feet. The Columbias entrance lie easy and the
line OF her underbody runs in aim ost q straight
line to point under the mast and then in an
easy curve to the bottom Of the I'm. She is cut
away more Forward than the Shamrock and the
fin OF the challenger Is much longer on top than
that OF the defending yacht.
In the forward part OF the two boats. how

ends abruptly. and the stern is hard and harsh,

the shamrock must drag IN the water and not
leave IL as clearly az the Columbia.
The challenger draws at least a foot and
half more water than the Collm ba and her

More Hard Luck for Columbia.

Not even the Dewey naval parade. only q
short distance from the football field could
prevent practice Yesterday. Everybody real
ICES that the first game Is but four days of. and
Columbia wants to show up well. BY spraining
his ankle Knapp augmented the retired" list
to eight. and tho two Jones brothers had to dis
continue practice on account Of the death OF q
parent. Miller played well in Knapp's place at
right tackle and Bob clarendon. OF Knicker-
hooker Athletic Club fame. played tho
fastest kind OF game at half. scoring both Of
the Varsity touchdowns in the afternoon.
There was no morning practice and a, half
hours game with the scrub sompETised, the
stii very weak. and Huntington. tho hockey
player. who was at half on the second team.
broke through at one time for run OF thirty
yards when he was downed. This was the
only chance the scrub had to SCORE. and they
we're unable to take advantage Of it. There
will be longer game tomorrow.

day except for moment The crew were
busy all day getting tho under body smooth

enthusiasm with which the excursionists
greeted Admiral Dewey and the cruiser
Olympia. and they cheered as the ships went
by. although they were some distance from the
limo OF parade. The tug Lawrence took part in
the festivities and carried the big Shamrock
flag which was heartily greeted everywhere.
Early in the morning William Fife paid a visit
