THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT SMOOTH

Briston, R. L, Dec 27.-The work OF removing the
clay around the lead keel OF the Cup defender
at the Herreshoff works finished to-day. The
planking around the mould was also removed. and
a crew of began the work of boring the holes
for the lag screws which fasten the lead keel
TO the keelpate.
The attachment of these two parts OF the yacht
involves also the cutting of groove along the
entire length OF the top of the lead keel for the
plate to rest in. Between three hundred and four
hundred necessary to fasten the parts
together, and each boring is three or four inches
deep. While this work is being done other men are
planning the lead and filling up arhoes in the cast

will be made smooth 1t is considered likely that
this work will require week more, and until 1t
is completed further steps in the construction of the
