magnificent yachts as those that have
been constructed at a cost closely APP
preaching 81 1000. 900 but there are
schooner yachts and sloops, catamarans
and cutters, racing cats and kn~ockabouts
so that the mar of limited means may Sc
lect the craft best suited to the condi-
ton of his purse and it is an open ques-
ton If almos as much pleasure cannot
be derived from the use of one of the
smaller and less expensive boats as from
one of those that only a millionaire could
afford to keep atioat.
1t is quite probable that there is no
form of amusement in the world more
yacht. A hundred and fifty thousand
dollars a year is not an e~xtravangant es-
innate of the expense connected with a
boat as those owned by the Goulds. the
Nanderbilts Of commodore Gerry. For
instance the man who owns a steam
yacht is necessarily called upon to en-
terrain largely and this is one Of the
largest items of his expense.
The larders of these ocean palaces are
always supplied with the rarest wines
and foods of every description. Fruits
and vegetables must be stored in ice and
cut flowers should be kept on hand for
the daily decoration of the saloons and
staterooms. 1t has been estimated that
$3.50 a day should be allowed for the
cuisine of such a yacht n this, of
course, does not include the salary Of
the chef and his assistants. If cut flow-
erS are to be used this item of expense
will probably not be less than $50 a day.
George Gould has always been a great
lover Of yachting and has already spent
a fortune upon this form Of amusement.
His sloop yacht. the Vigilant, has cost
him a lot of money and it is doubtful if
he runs his steam yacht for less than
$20,0 900 a month while in commission.
w. X. Vanderbilt is another millionaire
whose love of yachting has cost him no
end of money.
The salary list on his Valiant amounts
to fully $50. 900 a month and this is but
q small item in the total expense Of keep
ing up his craft. These are but two of
the many illustrations hat might be cit
ed to prove that a steam yacht is a cost
|ly luxury for it is estimated that not less
than $500, 900 is expended every yeal
to meet the running expenses of the fleet
Of steam yachts that are owned in New
York city alone.
If 1t We're possible to give the exact
figures of the amount Of money invested
in private sailing craft in his country
the statement would scarcely be credited
In New York city alone there are nearly
45O regularly enrolled steam yachts ant
it Is certainly a most conservative es.
innate to say that they represent an in.
vestment of not less than $40, 900, 900
; These include those that either hal
: from New York or that make theil
headquarters in or lear the harbor ever,

WILD DEER DEVoUR CROPS.

Middletown On. W Special New York
Journal: Lew Boyd, who lives near the
town of Deer Park, reported here to-day
that n day last week when he went to
drive home his cows, he saw no less than
seven deer feeding on his premises.
Mr.. Boyd says that he suffers consider
able loss through the ~depredations Of
deer, which have devoured his apples and
crops. He dares not shoot them because
they are protected by law until 1901. He
thinks that if the state protects deer 1T
ought also to protect him against being
eaten out of his farm by them.

Night Was Fruitless-Win Meet
Again To-Day.

CHICAGO, July 11.-Oficialss of the
American Tin Plate Company and repre-
sentatives of the wage committee of the
~Amalgamated Association held another
protracted session to-day discussing the
differences between the operators and en-
ployes in regard 10 wages and hours Of
labor. The final result of the conference
is, according to some of those taking part
in the discussion, rather uncertain. Yes
terday it was believed that with to-day's
conference an agreement would be reached
covering all the questions at issue. Pro-
gress was slow at to-days session, how
ever, the chief points at issue being the in
PRODUCTION of the new scale. over which a
long discussion was held without reaching
an agreement. Most of the minor diff
culties in the way of an amicable agree
ment nave been disposed of. Another ses-
sion was held this afternoon at which the
discussion was continued.
The conference lasted far into the night
without any result. Neither side is willing
to give up any part of the four cents diff
ference between the rate demanded by
the Association and that offered by the
officials of the company, The conference
will be continued tomorrow.
Both meetings were held behind closed
doors but enough leaked out TO show that
the question of price has been determined,
an but few details remain to be adjusted
to reach an amicable adjustment

DIXON THE WINNER.
The Featherweight Cham o n
Maintains His Title Defeated
tommy White.

DENVER, Col, July 11.-George Dix
on, feather-weight champion of the
world, was given the decision over
Tommy White at the end of a twenty
round bout before the Olympic club to-
night. Dixon led the lighting from The
start to the finish, Tommy's purpose
being to avoid a knockout and stay
the limit. Georges left hand work was
the comment of all. He would bring
from the ribs to the head and back
again so quickly as to almost escape
the eye. Tom O'Rourke sat in Dixon's
corner and frequently cautioned when
his over-anxiousness would make him
careless. Kid Mccoy officiated in the
same capacity for White. Bat Master
son was referee. The attendance was
$500.
Dixon weighed in this afternoon at
1854 pounds and White at 120 pounds.
The betting was 10 to / on Dixon and
quite a bunch of money changed hands
at these odds.
In the first round Dixon forced mat
ters. Tommy blocked cleverly and
landed several lefts to head and chest.
There was no damage.
The second round was very fast,
George using his left to good advan-
tage. Tommy did his share Of the
work, bringing his left to Georges
head and right hand to his left eye as
the round closed: blood trickled from
a cut over Georges left eye.
In the third White was the aggressor
at first and ran into a stiff punch from
George, quickly followed by rights and
lefts that put him on the defensive.
George became careless and was eau
toned by O'Rourke. He settled down
and was driving vicious lefts to Tom
my's body as the round closed.
In the next round George displayed
over-anxiousness and judged distance
badly. Tommy was cool and careful.
Just at the end George brought his
right with force to Tommy's kidneys
and left to neck, staggering White.
Honors were about even.
In the fifth Tommy displayed duck
ing and side-stepping cleverness and
thereby avoided the fierce rushes of
Dixon. The latter was trying for a
knockout.
In the following round Dixon settled
down to business. His hard lefts on
Tommy's face and body visibly weak
ened the latter, who recovered only mo-
mentarily until the end of the fifth.
From this on to the eighteenth round
it was pretty much the same. George
was strong and On the. aggressive all
the time. Tommy seemed dazed and
led but little. He hung to George a
good deal of the time, but Dixon could
not place enough force in his blows. al
though he rained them on Tommy's
head and body, to put him out.
In the last minute of the twentieth
round George brought a hard left to
Tommy's neck, which caused him to
waver. 1t looked like the finish. but
Tommy Strengthened out and put Dixon
off until the gong sounded. when Ref
cree Masterson announced that Dixon
was the winner.
Preliminary to the Dixon-White
meeting, Jimmy Coogan, OF Denver, and
Spike Wallace. of Pittsburg, fought a
fast eight-round draw. The men were
well matched and gave a good exhibit

MAY SAVE HER.
The Steamer Paris Clear of the
Rocks and Out of Her Critical
Pcs ton.

LONDON, July 1.-THE salvagers
have moved the American line steamer
Paris astern for a distance of $50 yards
and have shifted the vessels position
to be able to get the after stoke hole
fires alight.
The Paris is now clear of the rocks.
The sea is smooth, but a heavy fog pre-
walls tonight.
The intention of the s~alvagecs was
simply to slew the stern CT the liner
so as to facilitate the operation of the
divers, but it was found that she
moved more freely than was expected.
Three salvage boats alone practically
removed her from a critical position
unaided.
She still has a distinct list, however,
to the starboard and cannot be assumed
out of danger.
The tugs are preparing to tow her to
Falmouth harbor.
Unless something unforeseen occurs
the Paris will be towed to Falmouth
tomorrow and if on an inspection her
condition warrants it, she will be taken
to Southampton or to some other dock
for repairs.
The weather late this evening Is
rather unfavorable. the symptoms be-
ing rain, fog, a falling barometer and
a slight wind from the southeast. An
increase in the wind might prove seri-
Gus.
Captain Watkins, the other officers
and twenty members of the crew are
still on board. The pumps are coping
with the water and there is no danger
of the vessel sinking.
FALMOUTH, England, July 1.-THE
coast guard reports that as the Paris
begun to move and to tug at her an
chors this morning the crew was obliged
to let out cables, and in about an hour
the liner got quite clear of the rock and
into deep water.
