The editor of The Rudder, a
high yachting authority, says that
in the Columbia has been reached
the extreme fineness of her type.
1t is impossible to cut away more
and secure satisfactory action. "In
order to defeat a perfect machine
like the Columbia, you must make
a radical departure, and develop a
machine that will find its speed by
harmonizing other proportions.
This was done by Crowinshield in
the model of the Independence.
x The scow type can be de-
veloped to a model which will out
sail the present type of boat as
badly as the boat of 1901 can out
sail the boat of 1881. A model of
this type developed to its limit
would defeat Columbia by miles in
a breeze of wind, but the western
ocean is bar to their being built
on the other side" Such a craft,
however, could be built in Canada.
The Rudder man thinks the Brit
ish will have to build such boat
in Canada if they ever win the
cup.

LINCOLN CITY NOTES.

The peach season has brought its
joys and sorrows to fruit growers !;
but those who have young orchards
are enjoying the most satisfaction
On such the fruit has been plenty
and of fine size.
The orchard of Mr.. Frank War
ren, which contains only 1000 trees
of the latest and best varieties, has
produced nearly 24oo baskets,
which have averaged about As cents
per basket. Mr.. Charles Sackett,
President of the Sussex County
Levy Court, has an orchard almost
the counterpart to Mr.. Warren's,
that has done equally we'll for him;
while those with older orchards
have got small yield and less prices.
The family of Mr.. Frank War
rem is slowly recovering from a ser
ious illness with gastric fever. At
one time four were down all at once,
and only a little girl out of the
whole family able to be out of bed.
Two good nurses and kind assist
ance from friends aided them in
their affection.
Many wagon loads of tomatoes
are hauled from here to Glendale
where prices ranging from 20 to 38
/ cents have been paid by those buy
ing for Baltimore Gamers.
Fodder saving is in full swing,
but farmers are not so hard pressed
for labor as they were this time last
year, and SO far are getting along
all right.
Most Of the city visitors have
gone home, but there is a few lin
gering to enjoy the early fall days
in the country. S. c. c.

across the face just under his right tenn.
