GUN METAL SKELETON ARRIVES

The arrival OF the gun metal skeleton

dependence Is to be built attracted a
Works yesterday afternoon. This casting
weighs considerable more than the metal
frame Of the main rudder, and. while II
Is not nearly as long. its bulky appear
ance shows that IL was constructed with
a view OF avoiding any possible mishap.
The skeleton resembles a three-prong
clam hoe on a small scale more than
anything else, the two outside prongs be-
Ing longer than the centre one The
rudder head In about six inches in dame
ter and Is hollow down to a point where
the main prong begins TO taper to point
When completed the rudder will meas
ure about 5xs feet in it's widest and
longest sections.
Another part Of the construction work
on the hull OF the Independence, name
ly, the bolting on Of the steel gaskots
which secure The frame heads more frm-
ly TO the ends OF the deck beams. was
begun yesterday.
About 30 gaskets were put in place and
as soon az the riveting of the floor plates
out on the two overhangs is completed
the men will turn their attention 20 put
ting the permanent fasteninss through
the gaskets.
More plates were fitted 10 the outside
of the hull and in ALL ABOUT es are I'm

plates we're also bolted 20 the deck
beams.
Designer Crowninshield visited the yard
yesterday and looked with n critical eye
az the workmanship about the mast step
He said a close inspection failed 10 re-

The layman who is unacquainted with
newspaper methods may be interested in
knowing just how one goes about max
ing n piece OF news. says Allen Sangree
in March Ains,ecs. The best illustra-
ton OF this. perhaps Is Arthur Brs-
bane's arrangement for John j.. sullivan
10 box before the Prince of Wales. At
this time Mr.. brisbane was London
correspondent for the New York sun. 1t
should be understood that the competi-
tion among the London representatives
is just as keen as though they were
serving their separate papers on Park
row, and, though living I'm an atmos-
phere of less aggressive Journalism, they
never for a moment forget their Ameri-
can education. In this matter Mr.. Bris-
bane was actuated by other motives than
to triumph over his rivals with a legiti-
mate beat, and he found the great Amer
lean bruser but too glad TO second the
idea on the percentage of free adver-
tisement. The sun man worked
quietly, quickly, and so successfully that
the night for the performance came
without anyone knowing Of Il excepting
the Prince. his friends and the members
OF the fashionable club that sheltered
the twelve-foot ring.
At the moment when the referee step
ped out TO announce the lighters the
Princes equerry discovered that there
was present an untitled person. and.
what was more deplorablc. a newspaper
man. Az the result of this discovery.
Mr.. Brisbane was ordered 20 leave the
club instantly.
But" he objected. Il am responsible
for this whole thing. You are not going
to put me out?'
The equerry would not hear him and
Mr.. Brisbane. desperate and angry,
played his last card, We'll, John" no
said. turning 10 where the champion stood
toying with one huge picked paw, I've
got to go. Whatll you do?"
That's what I'll do" replied the cham
pion of the world. picking up his coat
and glaring savsgely at the equerry. 'If
that young feller goes. then I'll 20, un-
derstan?' and the audience was dis
mayed 10 see fighter and reporter aban-
don the ringside IL would not do. how
ever To disappoint his Royal Highness
go disgracefully. and the equerry and
Mr.. Brisbane finally compromised by tho
latter promising 10 write the account only
for the American press. The Sun. OF
course, had "A great beat next day, and
every newspaper In America and Eng
land quoted the anecdote OF John LIS re-
ception bv Albert Edward.
Mr.. sullivau's speech at that period
had extreme limitations. and when intro
duced TO - distinguished person he in
vnriably used the same set phrase. 70
the present king of England, after shak-
ing hands. he observed with dignity and
chcerflilnoss. Prince, I'm glad 20 meet
you. I've often heard Of you"
