ATHLETIC CLUBS PROGRESS.
Plans for st. Louis Organisation's
Clubhouse Revised.

The st. Louis Athletic Club has done a lot
OF work during the past week, which. while
1t does not show at present. will count In
the clubs favor later on. This is the re-
vising of the minor details in the plans in
preparing them for the contractors. When
the plans were being gone over in drawing
up specifications for the contractors. nu-
merous points were found which could be
changed for the better and thus avoid
making alterations later on.
The alterations have not changed the gen.
eral plans in any respect. but they have
added much to the convenience Of the
quarters the club will occupy. and the
latter will be the most complete in detail
OF any In the West The club is making
frst,class progress in securing members. the
number of applicants accepted each day be-
ing. close to sixty. At this rate the club
will have obtained its 1900 members by the
time work is begun on the first contract.
This will be something of a record, as no
club in st. LoIis has ever obtained any
thing Tx that number before opening it's
doors. The new clubhouse will take care Of
this number without any trouble, but this
figure cannot be much exceeded, SO a wait
ing list is in prospect before long,

DEFENDERS KEEL Is PERFECT.
Designer Satisfied With Results
Bronze to Replace Nickel Steel.

Bristol. r. l.. Nov. 29.-The lead keel for
the new defender of the Americas CUP was
laid bare in the boat shop here to-day, and
was pronounced by the designer to be in
perfect condition as regards form and out
line. The great mass of lead weighs about
100 tons. 1t was planned at first not to un-
cover II until Monday. but the casting had
cooled sufficiently to-day to allow of the re-
moyal OF the clay protection about 1t and
the mold itself.
The preparations are nearly completed for
the actual commencement of work upon the
upper portion of the yacht.
There was q consultation here to-day be-
tween August Belmont and Nat Herreshon
relative to the part to be taken by the
Constitution in next seasons racing. Mr..
Belmont said the Constitution would be
brought here from New London next year
to be fitted out.
After a series of experiments made here
to determine the relative tensile strength of
bronze metal and nickel steel. c. Oliver
iselfn, Who is to manage the new yacht,
has decided to use bronze metal for the new
boat. Although nickel steel proved to be
or much greater strength, the gain was not
enough to offset its lack of smoothness as
compared with the bronze.
