Has1op Acquitted.

After second trial, George Has Top. who made a reputation for himself here last year, has been ac- quilted by jury in the federal court, at Seattle, of the charge of sending scurrilous postal card to c. w. Boynton. When the case was tried last march, the jury dis agreed. Considerable interest has been taken in the case, and it has cost the government a large amount of money.
 Haslop belonged to a religious society, the members of which came forward in his defense, and he was also given assistance by the men who had served with him in the Philippines.
 A handwriting expert employed by the government was positive that the writing on the postal card was the same as that admitted to have been produced by the pen of the defendant. The jury disagreed on the first trial and a new one was ordered. At the second trial the jury concluded that in view ol the lack of direct evidence the de- fendant should have the benefit of the doubt, and acquitted him.

A Hot Time in Sunrise.

On July 31 there was a ball given at Sunrise under the manageme mt of MT. H. A. Smith. The time was almost too numerous to mention. The town was reserved for the oc- casion and was highly decorated.
 There were about twenty-five couples present, including MT. and Mrs. Shepard, who were going to the States, Capt. Shaw and wife, P. D. Blodgett and J. T. Wagner. The music was of various kinds, being from the piano, guitar, banjo, man. dolin and fiddle. The operators were all mushers.
 Most of those present had just returned from the mines on Crow creek, and any old time was good time. It might have been a dry time were it not for Mrs. Hill, who contributed two barrels of beer for the occasion.
 The boys who have spent the season on Crow creek report the prospects as being very good. They expect to do a big winters work there. Two hundred tons of outfits have already been landed on the creek for use during the coming winter, when it is expected that a good showing will be made.

The new DEFENDER
She Will Not Differ Greatly From
the Constitution, Say Those
Who Know.
But She Will Contain Good Points
Of the Columbia Ac-
centuated.
ase,y Yorz SUI, speoias .servtce


New York Nov. 1.--Now that tho con-
tract to build the cup defender has been
signed and the Herreshoffs are fairly at
work on the new yacht those yachtmen
who take more than a passing interest in
the coming International races and the
plans made for the defense Of the cup are
wondering what kind Of craft Nat Her
reshoff will turn out.
a few members Of the club have seen
the plans for the new boat and are Very
much pleased with them. No very rad
tcal departure has been made from tho
models of the Constitution and Columbia.
These models have proved to be the fast
est in former races and it would not be
safe to abandon them and try to develop
q freak boat that might not be a success.
In model, it Is understood that there is
very little apparent difference between the
new boat and the Constitution. In the
new boat Herreshoff will correct the err
rors of the Constitution and develop more
strongly the good points of the Columbia
In general dimensions the only difference
in the Columbia and Constitution was in
the beam and the Constitution had ten
inches more than the Columbia. Each
boat was 80 feet on the water line, 1872
feet over all and 10 feet 10 inches draught.
They carried the same amount of lead
on the keels and 1t was the extra beam Of
the Constitution that enabled her to carry
her big increase of SAIL This extra beam
without increase over all length gave the
Constitution a somewhat clumsy appear
ance when compared with the Columbia
and this chunkiness may have had some
thing to do with her inability to turn to
windward in a rough sea as the Columbia
did. In the new boat it is said this error
Will be corrected and the new aspirant for
cup honors will be longer over all than
the Constitution or Columbia.
Compar',d with the Columbia and the
Shamrock, the Constitution was very high
sided and when heeled she presented quite
q big surface Of hull which must have been
detrimental to her in turning to wind
ward. The Constitution had about three
inches more free board than the Shamrock
II. Three inches does not seem much in
q vessel as big as a modern cup defender,
but three inches less on 1872 feet, the over
all length, means a saving Of square
feet Of surface.
1t is not thought that the new boat will
carry any larger sail spread than the Con-
stitution. 1t would not be surprising if she
had less sail and thus possibly would get
time from the Constitution and from the
Shamrock Ill., If she should be selected to
defend the cup.
The assembling Of the material to build
the new boat will begin very shortly and
then as soon as the south shop has been
cleared out the new yacht will begin to
grow. A steam yacht occupies the South
shop now but it will be launched in a few
days.
