JOCKEY "SKEETS" MHRTIN

After four years spent in riding
horses abroad, j. III. "Skeets" Martin,
one of the worlds most famous jock
eys, stopped over to renew acquaint
ance with a group of turfwriters and
then resumed his journey to Califor
MIA, where he will spend the winter.
We used to see ''Skeets" making weight
in the jockey room at Harlem, Josh
ing" with Clerk Pomeroy, and hear his
thought at that time he would be the
hero of the English courses. 1t was
far from his own mind then that he
would one day pilot the winner in the
classic EPSON Derby and get more in
one season for plotting the mounts of
Mr.. Musker and Sir r. w. Griffin than
he could earn in five years on the West
ern Jockey club tracks.
What has been the chief cause of
Martins success? Honesty and the
unfaltering idea of living moral life.
His wife accompanies him, and he is
most devoted husband. The English
have treated him splendidly, and no
critics say of him any such things as
they did of Tod Sloan and Johnny
Reiff.
Americas most distinguished turf
man, William c. Whitney, has first call
on my services in England next sea-
son. remarked Martin after he had
been overwhelmed with congratula-
tions. Il will return to England in
March. This means that 1 will pilot
Acefull, owned by Mr.. Whitney's sons
former partner, in the Epson Derby
next year. However, as Danny Maher,
another American jockey, is booked to
Derby, l take it he will have more of
chance than l will have. Both of these
two-year-olds are good and promise to
train on, and will be held at shorter
prices in the Derby than Acefull."

years he has "stood STILL" apparently.
in the matter of weight. He can ride
at 102 pounds without much trouble,
and because of the system of weights
in England, will be able to accept
mounts for many years to come. 81
pity some of the jockeys who are
afraid to look at roast beef dinner
for fear of taking on too much flesh,"
continued Martin. "It was reducing
by steam baths that sapped the vitality
of many a good rider. Danny Maher,
the kings jockey as we call him over
there, has not taken on many pounds
in the last three years, and 1 expect he
will again have prosperous season
abroad. Trainer Matt Allen, who will
have charge of Mr.. Whitney's ami

BUILDING "A DEFENDER

Everybody will soon be talking
about the lines and progress of the
new defender that will be pited
beginning August 20, off Sandy Hook.
for the Americas cup. Specials from
Bristol, r. l., where are the shops of
the Herreshoffs, builders of the Con-
stitution, Columbia, Defender, Colonia
and other fast yachts, will appear
daily, recording the work done on the
new boat. The sleepy little town of
Bristol and the "south shop" are
stirred up by the correspondents who
become so eager in their search for
details, although the work on the
yacht is done under cover, that they
take to winter romancing." Do the
workmen pour the lead into the de
tenders keel, enough is written on it
to fill book.
However, this south shop will give
out lot of secrets of yacht 'construc-
ton before the launching is finally
scheduled. The sail loft, too, across
the street from the main shops, will
be productive of it's tales of especially
made canvas, spars, sheets, etc.
1t was the success of the yacht Clio
riana, built by the Herreshoffs in 1891
for Commodore f. ID. Morgan, that
first gave the Bristol concern its
national reputation. Gloriana had
eight starts in her first season and won
as many firsts. After that the famous
shop turned out boats that challenged
the admiration of the yachting world.
The Wasp will be remembered as a
faster boat than the Gloriana. The
Navahoe, too, was turned out from this
shop. The Vigilant, Colonia and any
number of steam yachts, torpedo
boats, ETC., have helped to make the
shop a family word in the homes of
lovers of sailing. Capt. Nat Herreshoff
is the designer-the master whose eye
traces the lines of boats before the
pen is applied to the draughting board.
He is said to have paid so much atten-
ton to detail that he has saved the
Americas cup to us. The novice might
glance in at the workmen busy on the
new defender and fail to see in her
lines anything different from the ordi-
nary 9O-footer, but the experts will get
out their figures pretty soon to show
you what bird-like thing the boat is
to be.
Defender will have the same spoon
bow, the old overland aft, and the
same modified fin keel that are famil-
lar to readers of the statistics of the
other defenders. But she will have a
broader beam than the Constitution
and will have longer and heavier keel
than the other boats. But at the same
time, it is said, she will draw less wa
ter. The wings" of this craft, when
fully spread, will contain $4,000 square
feet of canvas. If these figures are
not reduces she will have the largest
area ever sent aloft on a single-sticker
yacht. In every department of con-
struction-plates, braces, ETC., = she
will be all that money, skill and pa
thence can make her. And we should
retain the cup.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1902-12-26

luckily for it, if one were to carry
the figure to the finish. 1t was an in
novation, and innovations must always
make their way. Opera in English,
the critics at first thought to treat as
a joke; saying large public would
not care for opera anyway, and that
those sufficiently cultivated to appre-
ciate operate music were already ca
tered to. But there existed those with
ideals concerning what the public
ought to like and would like, if given
the opportunity. The idea was very
carefully developed, elaborate pro-
auctions planned and provided, we'll
trained singers interested; and to-day
grand opera in English is with us.
And has come to stay. The east and
the middle west look forward to the
yearly season of opera in English, and
the territory visited by the company
is constantly widening.
For the last quarter of century
attempts have been made from time
to time to give in English the worlds
great operas, but until the Castle
Square success the attempts were all
disastrous. At last Mr.. Henry w. Saw
age, c man with definite ideals and,
most necessary, the possessor of rare
business ability, undertook the organi-
cation and direction of such an enter.
prise, and to-day Mr.. Savage finds his
struggles repaid, is able to show a good
reason for the faith that was in him.
1t was in music-loving Boston the idea
was put forth, the company given
birth. From Boston the organization
went to New York, and at the Ameri-
can theater in the metropolis from the
first the operas in English were at
tended by a constant stream of peo-
pie.
Later the west came in for it's share,
the Studebaker theater becoming. the
home of the Castle Square Opera com
pany in Chicago. Milwaukee, famous
for music-lovers as well as for it's bev-
erage, welcomed warmly the excellent
operate performances, and every year
the season is frightening, which is true
not only of Milwaukee, but also of st.
Louis and Detroit. Yearly engage
ments are played in Brooklyn and New
York, and in America the Castle Square
has become feature in matters mu-
steal.
The organization is what may be
called family organization, MANY
persons that started with the com
pany still continuing in it's employ.
Promotions are carefully attended to,
elevations from the chorus to high
places not infrequently occurring in
the history of the company.
One of the excellencies of the Castle
SQUARE company is the strength of the

VEtNB Opera in English" per-
WY formances at the American
theater in New York, and
October 16, 1899, in the same city and
theater, celebrated it's five hundredth
performance of opera in Enghsh.
Since its inception, seven years ago,
the company has given more than 1000
performances; and, as popular prices
have prevailed, very many people have
enjoyed the opportunity of becoming
familiar with operas that previously
only those with plethoric purses could
listen to.
1t would seem that warbling in Eng
lish is not such a strain on the vocal
apparatus and systems of song-blrds
as is singing in Italian, German, or
Spanish, for the Castle Square Opera
company has been singularly exempt
from the narrowing trials that affiict
folk who sing grand opera in foreign
tongue; the Castle Square organlza-
ton proudly pointing to it's record OF
never, in the 1000 and more perform
ances, having to omit a performance
or change the opera advertised for
some other. We remember the many
disappointments we have suffered at
the hands of the foreign operates;
after pinching and scraping in order to
get together the requisite amount of
gold to attend favorite opera where
in favorite artists were to appear, it
proved most distressing to find the bill
had been changed at the last moment,
owing to some tenor's sore throat or
some prima donna's emotional unfit
ness to appear that evening. You go
to the Castle Square Opera company's
performances and you listen to the
opera it was your desire 20 revel in;
you hear, as a rule, the cast whose
names appear on the programme.
All of which is very satisfactory and
encouraging, and has worked not lit
tie for the success now attending this
company. The Castle Square Opera COM
pany's success has not been meteoric;

from Norway and Sweden. The fish.
ermen go out from the coast with
their fleets of small boats and cast
the odorous bait into the sea in great
quantities, which generally attracts
the sardines in shoals. But this year
the price of the bait was unusually
high, and it was used at the outset in
niggardly fashion. Some claim that
as consequence the sardines left
these waters for better feeding
grounds and did not return. On the
other hand, it is said that for some
unaccountable reason, virtually no
sardines of packing size have APP
peared off the French coast since
last spring. Fishermen's prices for
the sardines are ordinarily from $3.50
to $2.70 per 1000. This year, they
have received from 1919 to $9.65 per
1000. There was a failure of the
catch some three or four years ago,
but nothing like so pronounced as
this years. The result at present has
been to considerably embarrass the
sardine exporters of both Nantes and
bordeaux.
There exists an almost worldwide
demand for French sardines, and this
year it has been, if anything, strong
er than usual; but in view of the in
significant catch (only ten per cent.
of the average) a very small per-
centage of orders can be executed.
This has resulted in great profit to
the principal competitors of the
French-the packers and exporters of
Spain and Portugal.
1t is believed that the whole catch
along the French coast this year will
not amount to more than 100000 or
100000 cases.
An idea of the Importance of tho
French sardine industry may be had
when the exports to the United States
alone are considered. During the ifs
cal year ended June 80, 1901, these
reached the following declared val

the opera in English that has ever been

In ''Tosca" the principal parts are

ports from Portugal to the United
States will be very large, and from
Spain much greater than ever before.
Meanwhile, there is an increased de-
mand all over Europe for the Portu-
guese and Spanish products, which
are much cheaper than the fine
French sardines.
In this connection, it may be in
teresting to know that in view of
the Spanish and Portuguese COMPETE

stronger in the cheaper grades dur

PhylIoxera in Italy.
Reports from Italy state that the
the vineyards of that country, and that
there will be an unprecedented de-
mand for American vines with which
to graft the old ones. 1t is reported
that 90S provinces in Italy have been
invaded by this insect, and that not
loco tboo 7S0 0OO aorac of na1o nd no va
been entirely destroyed. The phyllox-
era invaded Italy in 1879, nine years
after its first incursion into France.
When discovered in France, it was no.
ticed that it did not injure American
vines that had been planted there. In
vestigation showed that this infinites-
imal insect was as lively and en-
ergetic among California vineyards as
in France, but that it inflicted no in
jury upon American vines, the opening
made by the sting of the insect imme-
diately filling with sap and closing
leaving no wound. For this reason, all
vines must be grated with American
CRAFTS in order to be secure from the
phylloxera, the California CRAFTS hav-
ing generally been preferred. France
is so well supplied with Americanized
vines that she will undoubtedly try to
furnish all the CRAFTS that may be de-
manded by adjacent countries.
1t was asserted at a meeting of the
National Agricultural Society Of
France, held in Paris in September,
1899, that the success in wine grow.
ing in France must in the future de-
pend entirely upon grating. The same
is probably true of other vine-growing
countries. JOHN Z. COVERT.
