YACHTING

From London comes this statement:
Quite radical difference be-
tween the Shamrock III and
her two predecessors will be
found In the lines 'of the bow.
The new challenger will not have the
familiar blunt nose. but will be cut away
much finer. with the idea Of preventing
her pounding when there Is any sea.
Among Sir Thomas Lipton's friends
there Is quite n feeling of confidence that
the Shamrock III will do the trick. AL
ready there is some show OF money TO
back the opinion, but long odds are de-
manded.
A friend OF Sir Thomas Upton who
ought to know what he is talking about
said that the report that the new boat
will be built entirely OF steel and cost
less than the Shamrock III is all bosh.
There is practically no limit TO cost. while
fully ten times the amount OF aluminium
in the old boat will enter into the con-
structlon OF the new yacht.
NEW BOAT ORDERED.
At Bristol Il is said that
New York syndcatt of yachtsmen
has already ordered a new cup defender

was practically perfected by Nat HERE
shoff weeks ago. The Herreshoffs are
following their usual course when a cup
IL
thing about the matter that Will reach
the public but there are various ways
of getting at the facts In Bristol when
such an important matter as the ordering
of a cup defender has taken place.
While there are some accounts that
the commission 10 build the new yacht
was given some days ago, there is every
thing 10 support the account that the
Herreshoffs received the order yesterday.
IL will be nearly six weeks yet before
the new craft will begin TO take shape,
but that will be earlier than the casting
of the lead keel for the Constitution.
NO MEASUREMENT RULES.
The committee on measurement OF the
New York Yacht club. appointed TO con-
slider the advisabllty of a change in the
ra ting rule, which has been found fault
with because Of the ease with which,
under it, freak boats are being developed,
will submit its report to the club Thurs
day evening next, at its general meeting.
The committee recommends new
rating rule, by which the rating measure
ment Is found by multiplying the length
OF the yacht, obtained as provided for
by the square root of the sail area, and
dividing the result by five time the cube
root of the displacement. This is q
radical change from the old formula.
This report Is of international impor-
tance and will affect the measurement
OF yachts not only in this country but In
Europe.

Mr.. George S. Wilson. secretary Of the
Board OF Charities. has been in CORE
spondence with the Charity Organization
Society Of Baltimore. with reference to
the care Of oyster dredgers, VINO. at
times. become a public charge. The cor
respOndeuce had reference particularly to
the righting Of the wrongs OF these dredg-
ers who have been horshly ana uniustIy
treated by the captains Of boats on which
the men have served.
It appears that .he Board of Charities
is frequently called upon % lend these
men to Baltimore under one pretext and
another. Il also happens that when they
reach there they become a public charge
and when their cases are investigated the
men are sent back to Washington. not be
ing residents of Baltimore or even OF
Maryland
How Captains Get the Men.
A communication from Miss Mary VIII
cox Brown. secretary Of the Baltimore
Organized Charities. gives the results CT
an investigation made in Baltimore look
ing to the establishment Of claims against
the boat captains or their agents. when
a man employed by them and not Justly
paid for his labor becomes charge upon
the District Of Columbia Miss Brown
states that the agent Of the captains is
a mere runner. who engages the men and
induces them to 20 on board Of the dredg-
ing boats He receives Sf.O0 a head for
the men so obtained, but is an irrespOn-
sible party, against whom any action IL
the courts would do no good
Miss Krgvu states rh-f gawfafve
Of the boats are the only men who can
be held responsible for the condition OF
the drcdgers- She informs Mr. Wilson
that Dc is easy 10 make a case against
them when they are in port but that in
the majority OF cases they are j. sir
ginia waters coming to Baltimore only 81
long intervals, and for that reason it is
difficult TO reach them.
Problem for the Government.
Miss Brown suggests that the proper
way TO deal with the problem. in her
opinion IS that the H-treatment Of men
on the oyster boats should be taken cog
nizauce of by the United States Govern
ment, and that by means Of a patrol By
revenue cutters or other Government YES
sells the captains Of dredging boats. who
ilI-treat their men or fail 10 pay them for
their work should be brought into port
and dealt with in the United States
Courts
Miss Brown says the matter IS beyond
state jurisdiction. because Of the ease
with which the captains can pass from
the waters Of one State to those OF
another in the Chesapeake Bay. She
holds that the true remedy viii not be
found until the matter is taken up by
Congress and brutal captains Of oyster
boats are made anne nable TO the laws OF
the United States.
