without loss of amount in shipments
of freight.
But the strongest evidence against
the contention Of Mr.. Tibblcs Is found
in the action Of railroad companies in
keeping their taxes down to the low
est possible limit both by fair means
and foul. Surely these men are not
such fools as to waste time and mon
ey avoiding something directly which
could be done indirectly SO neatly by
a mere raise in rates,
The fact is, that legislative inter-
ference with rates has scarcely
amounted to anything and that the
roads are nOw-and all the time have
taking all the traffic viii
bear" which simply means that a
further raise of rates at the gi'cn
time would result in a loss of net
returns. Whatever tax Is paid at
such time must come out of divi-
dends. and. hence. out of the stock

with the defender and make a close
fight of 1t.
Many were surprised that Captain
Barr allowed this. The boat giving
time usually tries to get over the line
last. and then If it is able 10 pass the
it is a winner.
Captain Wringe's idea was good
one but an error was made on board
that proved costly. 1t is possible that
he miscalculated the speed Of his boat,
but it is more probable that the man
holding the watch did not keep the
captain we'll posted as to how the min
utes We're slipping away. and the re-
suit was that the Shamrock went over
the line nineteen seconds after the
handicap gun. Then, again, the Sham
rock had an allowance of one minute
and fifty-seven seconds, and this added
to the difference in the times taken as
the boats went over the line, made
three minutes and twenty seconds,
so that if the Shamrock could make
any gain those on board could easily
figure that she was a winner.
Having the Reliance in the lead, it
was possible for the men on the
Shamrock to worry those on the Reli-
ance somewhat, and, as the race was
sailed, it would seem that they We're
worried good deal. The men on the
Shamrock. too, We're in position to
profit by mistake by those on the Re-
lance, the leading boat.

And when the experts compared

and that if she were ever going TO be

Mr.. Fife had put on thousand square
feet more of canvass. 1t is thought bS
designers in this country that, while
the Shamrock's allowance would nave
been reduced by perhaps minute, her
speed would have been increased con-
Siderably.
