Commodore John C. Sprague Pre-
diets That Shamrock II. Will
Lift the Cup if Her Sails
Are Right.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Saluted by scores
Of vessels as she was towed through the
East river this morning the cup defender
Columbia flying the pennant of the New
York Yacht club at her masthead, looked
every inch the racing craft that she is.
Columbia reached the Morse Ironworks,
Brooklyn, at noon and at l O'Clock she
was fioated into the sectional dock In
two hours the yacht was high and dry
and blocked up in position for her last
cleaning before the great International
race. Stages were strong all around her
before dark and early tomorrow morn
ing a gang will be put to work FURNISH
ing her bronze hull. The yacht had
many visitors during the afternoon,
among them several yachtsmen from
yachts lying at anchor off Bay Ridge.
1t was learned that Columbia is using
the old defenders main boom and the
mainsail with which she won the trial
races at Newport as it is not likely that
any change win be made in either the
boom or the sail until after the first race
Thursday.
1t is safe to say that fully 5000 persons
visited Shamrock II. at the Erie basin
drydock today. They stood in rows two
and three Deep ali round the edge of the
big stone dock, admiring the yellow shin
ing body of the yacht and hear wonderful
SKy-FeacnlnS mast. DIT 1hOnlaS Upton
painfully limping as a result of his
recent injury, looked over his challenger
early in the morning, in company with
some friends, then he went back and
boarded the steam yacht Erin, which took
them up the Hudson for a few hours
sail The yacht returned about p. m.
Expert opinions were not lacking from
those who had visited both the defender
and the challenger. Former Commodore
John c. Prague, who has perhaps won
more races with his yachts in the old
days than any other, said:
Il like the shape of Shamrock and if
her sails are as good as Columbia's she
will win the cup. Her rigging is strong
and her mast is in the right place.
Another good feature is that her boom
comes down close TO the deck. She looks
bigger all over than Columbia and 1 feel
sure she is a very fast boat

TECHNICAL SCHOOL WORK.
Important Investigation by Labor
Department Concluded.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The depart
ment-of labor has about concluded an In
vestigation of the effect of trade school
teaching on production, economy of use
of raw materials, wages and in securing
employment. The work of gathering tn nse
statistics has been carried on in this
country, Great Britain and leading coun-
tries of Europe. The report will be made
TO congress early next session Certain
classes of producers in this country, es-
peciaIly where industrial art is applied,
have had to depend largely on foreign
artists skill, and one of the objects of
this investigation is to determine how
far the United States is supplying its
OWE training or is drawing upon the train
ed artisans of Europe. 1t has been claim
ed until recently that the foreign techni-
cal schools supplied the skill for this
country in certain directions.

Kramer Makes 1t In a Great Race
Mt VaiIsburs

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Over 5000 spec
tators witnessed an exciting race at the
Vailsburg track today. The twenty-five
mile open race for professionals was
a record breaking event in more than one
way. Twenty-eight of the fastest pros
in the country We're entered and the strug-
gle was interesting from the crack of
the pistol until the winning tape was
reached nearly an hour later. AS prizes
were offered at different points in the
race toe pace was terrific from the
start with frequent sprints by the diff

ming lead on the others. Frank Kram-
er secured good position at the start
and kept 1t most of the long journey. He
captured the prizes at five, ten and If

land. Butler jumped the bunch on the
last lap but Kramer closed strong and
won the race by a length with Mcfarland
second, half length befoIy Hausman.

Mr.. Harry Sylvester, living at Erie,
Pa, writes: 81 have been using Ri
pans Tabules for some time,
and l must tell you what they have
done for me. I was troubled with
biliousness, indigestion and head
aches. I spent quite bit of money
in doctoring, but all was of no avail
l read a great deal about Ripans in
different papers but did not pay
much attention to them until one
day I resolved to try them. Of course
did not have a great deal of conf
dence in them, but I took two five
cent packages and really did not see
much improvement in my condition,
but as they were so cheap in price
[ bought two more packages, and
after taking all of them I must say
that I was positively astonished. My
headaches went away, and I could
eat things which l was afraid to eat
before, and they did not make me
feel bad; so 1 bought five packages
and took one Tablet after each meal,
and 1 was really astonished at the
results. The pain in the side dis
appeared, and 1 soon felt o. K 1
have been taking them regularly ever
since, and I cannot praise them too
highly. I recommend them to all

success, and hope you will continue

RODE A HARD CENTURY.
McHrath and Mills Establish Tan
dem Record Over NOrthfieId Course

Under the most unfavorable conditions
j. McIlrath and F. A. Mills yesterday
eSta blished a tandem record over the
Mortified course, covering the 100 miles
in ten hours and twenty-seven minutes.
The wind blew a gale for most of the
journey, and the roads were in the worst
shape that they have been this year.
Jimmy McIlrath says it was be-
yond question the hardest ride he has
ever undertaken in the course of his
racing career. For a portion of the
distance between Pennington and North
field cycling was simply out of the
question, and the riders covered about
ten miles ON foot. They started on a
Wagner tandem at 7:15 in the morning,
and finished at 5:42 and with the excep-
ton of the delays necessitated by the
bad roads, experienced no accident of
any kind.
This is the first time that a tandem
record has been established over the
course, and MeSsrS. Mills and McIlrath
are confident that under more favorable
conditions they can reduce it by fully
three hours.

OPERATING ON A MONKEY

Sitting upon its launches, with its
head laid back on the knees of an at
tendant, John" the prize monkey of
the Lincoln park ZOO, submitted to
a painful operation at the animal
house in the park, says the Chicago
Daily News of recent date. When Cy
DeVTy, the veteran animal keeper of
the ZOO" called to John" the animal
seemed to know what was coming, and
hesitated when DeVry first called him.
Then. summoning all its courage, it
walked slowly 20 the front of the cage,
crawled into DeVry's arms and was
carried to a bed prepared for il in a
sink. John has had bad abscess on
the upper part of the left cheek reach
ing from the eye nearly to the ear and
the little face was badly swollen, indi-
eating the pain which the animal has
suffered for many days. 1t was feared
that the life OF the monkey could not
be saved, and, as a last resort, an OPP
GRAFTON was determined upon.
Keeper Acts like = Surgeon.

First the swelling was cut open and
then a copious wash of antiseptic was
applied. AS TO septic conditions, as

scraped and another syringe full OF

Next a small piece of the cheek bone
was removed, and then more antisep-
tic. Then the cut was sewed up, leav-
ing a small aperture for future dress
ings. Last of all, a generous quantity
of iodoform was put on the wound to
help it heal, and then John" was lift
ed tenderly and put in the cage, but
not until the monkey had licked the

NEARLY TWO MILES DEEP.
Wisconsin Mine, the Shaft of which IL
to be Sunk 10000 Feet.

Wisconsin, Mine, the Shaft of which IL
to be Sunk 10000 Feet.
1t will require a deep shaft to de-
1elop a mine to the west OF the Tam
track, in Wisconsin, shaft of near
y two miles in depth-but in view OF
he wonderful strides made in deep
mining in the past decade 1t is not
,eyohd the range of possibilities that
iuch shaft may be started soon. FIJI
cen years ago the sinking of No. L
ramarack to a vertical depth of 2,270
'eet made a new worlds record, and
he men who sunk it were denounced
is lunatics until the phenomenal sue
,ess closed the mouths of their de-
ractors.
The bottoming of the Red Jacket
shaft only few years ago, at depth
IF 1000 feet, was regarded with Won
Ter, and held by many to be the ul-
innate limit in deep mining, yet to-
lay the No. of the Tamarack lacks
1ut a months work of being a full
5000 feet in depth, and the hosting
plant just installed il built for serv-
ce to a depth of 5000 feet-nearly
.hree times the depth at which the
original Tamarack shaft cut the lode,
although then denounced as crazy
undertaking by some of the best min
ing men in the district.
If the planned limits of deep mining
have been extended to almost three
times their original bounds within less
than two decades, the jump from 5000
to 10000 feet is not such an impossi-
BILE one as now seems to many. A
shaft two miles in depth could be
sunk in 10 years, at cost. including
equipment. of s2,0OO,0OO or $4,000, 900.
In other words, two-mile shaft could
be sunk and equipped at about the
same cost and in the same time as the
Red Jacket shaft. which lacks a little
Of mile in depth.
There is really but one serious draw
back to the sinking of a two-mile
tilation. At such great depth the heat
would he very great The develop
ments OF the next two years in No 8
ramarack will settle the question of
whether a two-mile shaft could be op-
Grated to advantage. That it could
be sunk is no longer open to ques-
tion. At the deep vertical shafts of
the Calumet district powerful fans are
used to reinforce the natural system
Of ventilation obtaining in all deep
mines that have more than a single
shaft.
In the case of the hypothetical two
mile shaft. the single opening could
be made to serve the purpose of two
shafts by making the different COM
partments air tight and using one of
them for the down cast and the other
for an up cast. or chimney, to with
draw the heated air from the mine.
The compressed air from the power
drills is also a powerful factor in mine
operations at great depths, as air gives
up much of its heat under compress
sion, and when released quickly robs
the surface Of the surrounding rock
and the free air in the mine Of por-
ton of their heat.
