The Pioneer Express.
YACHTS AND YACHT RACING.

The modern yacht of which the Colum.
sbia, Constitution and Shamrock are ex.
amples, are almost miraculous even to
the sailor. A racing yacht bears the
same relation to an ordinary craft as
does trotting sulky to other vehicles.
A racing yacht in racing rig is only
good tor racing, and is of little use as "A
mere pleasure boat and of no utility
otherwise. The racing yacht is simply a
machine constructed on the general
principle of putting the largest amount
of canvas on a certain sized boat, and
the racing yacht of to-day is wonder in
this respect.
The Shamrock or Columbia, which ap-
proximate 100 feet in length on the water
line, carry more yards of canvas than a
freighting vessel of three times that
length.
The hulls of these yachts at the water
line, are about 100 feet long, and 20 feet
wide at the widest part, tapering off to a
point at each end. On this narrow,
pointed. platform is mast $50 feet high.
When the sails are set, they form a tri-
angle, the top of which is 175 feet from
the water and the base from the end of
the main boom to the end of the bow
spirit is from $50 to 16O feet long. TO
get at these measurements one must
compare them with actual objects.
There are very few, if any, buildings,
fagstaffs or other objects in this county
us feet high. The top of the flag staff
at the court house in this city is but little
over 100 feet and that en- the fire bell
tower about IS feet t-dne on the other.
would not be higher than the top of the
Shamrock's highest sail. .
That the mere weight of mast, canvas.
rigging and spars, not to say anything Of
the heavy pressure Of wind ep the large
sail area, does not overturn a. narrow
racing yacht, is remarkable indeed to
the landsman.
In counterbalancing this heavy side
weight and pressure is where the modern
yacht SO far excels its predecessors.
Twenty or thirty years ago there were
two types Of yachts, one was built in
"skimming-dish" form, to slide over the
water, and depended on extreme width
to keep itself upright, and movable
keel, called center-board, which could
be let downdeep in the water, to pre-.
vent the boat from sliding sideways
when the wind was on the beam.
The. other was the Gutter" model
which was narrow, deep boat with
solid keel the whole length, which .cut''
the water instead Of sliding over it like
the center board boat. The cutters
stability was fixed BY heavy ballast in its |
bottom. +. &.
The present yachts are practically a 4

THE APPEAL CRITICIZED.



Judge Gear filed a written decision
yesterday in the case of j. +. Morgan
against Mrs f. G. Betters "A suit for
1925 on account of goods alleged to have
been sold six months ago to Mrs. Bet
terS. 1t contained the following:
The defendant became liable to pay
the amount bid upon the fall of the
hammer announcing that she was a bid
dir there being no contention that the
sale was Illegal or invalid i'm any man
ner
Defendants counsel contends that
an auctioneer cannot maintain an ac-
ton for the purchase price, but is forced
to retain the goods and sell the property
over again, and hold the prior purchaser
for the difference in price with costs of
sale, and that this action Is exclusive
and the auctioneers' sole remedy
The Court is surprised that such a
contention has been made, for the law
Is well settled that AN auctioneer may
maintain an action for either the pur-
chase price of the goods sold by him. or
If "a purchaser does not comply with the
terms of the sale, the vendor may after
giving him reasonable notice, resell the
property at public auction and a 'pur-
chaser who, without legal justification.
had failed to take the property resold to
him, will be liable to the vendor for the
difference between the price of sale and
any proceeds of sale
The appeal is entirely without merit.
While the court recognizes the fact that
cases do not necessarily need to involve
a large sum of money i'm order to give
parties right to trial o" to their appeal.
the Court also feels that this action is
one which should not have been appeal
ed and that time has been unnecessarily
wasted.
The Court thinks the law to be well
settled that an auCtioneer is entiteled
to recover on assumpsit for the amount
bld' and the Court suggests that there
should be a provision of statute. If
there is not one now, allowing a penalty
to be imposed where frivolous appeals
are taken for the purpose Of discourage
ing such appeals

CIamped Button to Her Finger.

Rose Brady, a young miss of 16, was
treated at the Harbor Hospital for pc
culiar accident yesterday. She works in
an overall factory near the water front
and was engaged in putting buttons on
the garments. The work is done by ma
chinery, as the buttons, instead of being
sewed on, are clamped. Rose was talking
to one of her fellow workers and not pay
ing attention to her work. In consequence
her finger with button in it got under
the ma chine and then came the catastro-
phe. Miss Bradys finger was securely
buttoned and it took the doctor at the
hospital nearly half an hour to cut it out.
Outside of the nervous shock the young
lady is not seriously injured.
