OF the expansion of its resources, send

HAWAII ON The MIDWAY

The Omaha World Herald of
July 23rd says: The evening was
marked by an event which many
think will be considered of more
and more Importance as the sum-
mer wears away. This was the
opening of the Hawaiian Village.
The management had been hur.
ryipe to the last hour the work OF
completing its handsome building
IAN imitation of the palace at
Honolulu-which fronts on the
Midway, and the theater in the
rear, just beyond the pool, where
the Americans will shortly learn
for the first time by actual obser-
walton the proficiency in swim
ming for which the Hawaiians
are noted.
The theater, while not yet quite
completed, was attractive enough
to call forth many expressions of
admiration. The rear of the stage
shows a street in the old time city
of Honolulu, while on either side
the scenery is of cocoanut trees
and other tropical vegetation.
Though the public Friday night
was delighted with the part which
the Hawaiian people took in the
Venetian festival, yet the crowd
which packed the village thester
last night to suffocation was sur
prised at the sweetness and melo-
dy of the music furnished. Wind
and string instruments were made
to give forth an harmonious com
psny Of sounds of quality which
perhaps cannot be better describ-
ed than by saying that it was
fragrant.
Iuterspersed we're number
ofthe dances heretofore known on
ly in the mid Pacific islands, and
not one of these was given with
out 80 hearty applause as to CON-
pei a repetition. 1t WAS demon.
strated at once that the Hawaiian
Village will be a winner on the
Midway.

picked experts. from the captain down.
These men must be quartered outside of
the vessel herself for, like all racers, the
Columbia has absolutely no accommoda-
ttons below deck, She IS simply a huge
shell 13Q feet long and about is feet deep.
Standing on the platform which serves for
her deck, one can see through the hatch
way right down to her bottom, Inside
there Is nothing except a series Of steel
girders and braces, When the races are
over, and If her owners choose, tho Co
lumbia may be fitted up with cabins. But
even Il this is the case al! such cabin
work, fooring, etc, would be ripped out
again as soon rs she was ready TO enter
another race,
Unable 70 find room on the yacht. her
crew are therefore quartered aboard
steam tender which accompanies the CO.
lumbia wherever she goes. To maintain
this tender and 10 feed the crew alone
costs somewhere in the neighborhood OF
$25. 900, The Defender is likewise equipped
with a tender for her crew, the cost Of
which is little less than that of the Co
lumbia herself. All these items must be
included in making up the cost of the
race. After the race has been sailed the
Columbia if thrown on the market, would
probably not fetch over $4,000 or $l5 600,
as she is practically worthless for cruising
purposes having been designed entirely
feed Some of the other items Of expense
connected with the American side of the
race will be the cost of maintaining fleet
Of tugs to patrol the course, to serve as
stakeboats. etc This will foot up well in
the thousands, as the demand for tugs
and all other craft will be enormous.
On the British side the cost Will be even
greater, if anything, than it is on the
American. Sir Thomas Upton. who built
II a
gan and his associates have done, besides
standing the expense of sending the chal
lenger across under her own sail.
Some idea of the cost Of fitting up the
racers may be obtained from the fact that
one suit of sails cost in the neishborhood
OF $1,000. These sails are specially woven
from Egyptian and Sea Island cotton,
mixed with silk They cost 81 a yard In
addition the yachts carry spinnaker and
other light sails of pure silk which cost
all the way from 81 to 81 per yard.
Measured by the amount Of money that
has been spent in the contests for the
Americas s cup, it is without exception the
most valuable thing in the world. The
crown of the Car of Russia, the richest
ornament on earth, with it's marvellous
diamonds and rubies and other priceless
gems, becomes almost a bauble in compar-
ison with this battered old silver cup. The
trophy has been fought for ten times: in
1851. 70. IL rs, 49, 'S5, Sc 81 '93 and 95.
In the past, while the cost Of preparation
and the money spent for all It's items has
not been as great as will be the case this
year, the average cost for the ten races
will easily foot up s500,0o0 for each, or a
total Of So 100000.
The total sail spread of the CO.
lumbia is about IA GOO square feet. -
Cut in strips foot wide, the
sails would stretch nearly -
three miles in length.
Laid fat on the
ground they
would cover
The San Francisco call., 1899-09-10

part of a city block, or about third OF an
acre, 1t IS because Of this mass Of canvas
that such large crew is required on the
yachts. No one without experience can ap-
preciate the tremendous task of handling
surely and rapidly q sail spread such as
the Columbia carries.
An ordinary commercial vessel of three
times the Columbia's size would carry just
about half her sail spread. To carry
more would be Improbable and unsafe
from a business standpoint. A 400-ton
schooner cannot afford to carry over five
or six men and make money. Then, too,
1t IS out Of the question for any vessel to
carry spread of sail such as the Colum-
bias except in smooth water and in d
comparatively light wind. A gale coming
upon the Columbia with all sails spread
would strip her clean in a second. Even
with her large crew she could not escape
complete loss if she was suddenly over
taken by high wind.
The power of such a vessel as the Co
lumbia when she has all her canvas set is
enormous. Her speed as tested in her re-
cent trials against the Defender is about
13 knots an hour. To drive a vessel her
size a a similar speed under steam would
require about 300 horsepower IN other
words, 300 horses would be required to do
the work that the sails of the Columbia
do when she is going with the wind. An
engine TO drive her at the same speed
would consume about $50 pounds of coal
per hour, This would be a long ton" for
three hours sailing maximum speed, or
eight tons per day OF twenty-four hours.
Allowing twelve days for crossing, the
sails of vessel such as the Columbia
would have given power equivalent to
about 100 tons of coal
There are many other interesting feat
ures about these races. Not the least in
teresting is the fact that with all the vast
sums of money spent on perfectlng and
fitting them out, there are any number of
boats in New York and elsewhere that
could easily distance them in a straight
away race before the wind Both the
Columbia and the Shamrock draw
about is feet of water. This deep
draught creates proportonata a
amount of resistance that must + ~
be overcome by the sails. A ABtH
boat drawing only one or two
feet of water has little or II
