WORK ON THE RELIANCE.
Deck Practically Covered in-EquhI to
 Columbia in Strength.

Bristol, R. l., March 26.-The deck of the yacht Reliance was practically cov- cred in to-day. There has been much talk to the effect that the deck had been made too light by the use of aluminium for plating. but those who have had most experience in yacht con- struction express the opinion that the deck beams of the Reliance are so close together that the boat will equal the Columbia in strength. Since the smoothing of the underbody has begun, the lower portion of the boat looms up with great brilliancy.
 Considerable hustle was noticeable to-day in the setting-up of the deck fit tings, including the windlass, ring-bolt and travellers. It has been decided to remove a portion of the west end of the shop in order to launch the new boat, as the doors are not of sufficient width to insure a safe exit. Captain Barr and his mates are expected here to-day, and c. Oliver Iselin, the man. aging owner, who is naw in South Car olina, will be here a few days later.

REFUNDING OF U. s. BONDS
TO BE RESUMED ON THE FIRST
 OF APRIL.

Announcement Made In Circular by the
 Secretary of the Treasury-Any Bonds
 to an Amount Not Exceeding sIOO,-
 100000 of the Three Per cent. Loan of
 19Ds-1sIs and That of the Four Per
 Gent. Loan of 1907 win be Received
 Bond Brokers Surprised at the Offer
 Apparently a Relief Measure.
 Washington, March 2s.-The secretary of the treasury this afternoon pub lished a circular announcing that, on and after April 1, 1903, he will receive for refunding. under authority Of Sec tion Il of the act of March 14, 1900, to an amount not exceeding $100000,000, any of the bonds of the three per cent. loan of 190S-191S and the four per cent. funded loan of 1907. They may be sur- rendered at prices yielding to the in- vestor an income of ? IA per cent. per annum, and the new bonds will be is sued in exchange at a premium of two per cent. Accrued interest on both old and new bonds will be calculated to date of exchange.
 There are now outstanding $97, ,000, ,000 three per cent. bonds and $233, 1000, ,000 fours of 1907 which are affected by the circular issued to-day. There are also outstanding about SAG, 6,0OO,OOO of the two per cent. consols of 1880 issued un- der the act of March IA, 1900. These two per cent. bonds were issued in 1900 at par under provisions of the refund ing act. If the new bonds were to be issued now at par there would be profit to the owners of the bonds, talk ing the present market valuation as basis of about four per cent. for the three per cent. bonds surrendered and about five and one-half per cent. for the fours of 1907. The secretary desires to obtain an equitable share of this profit for the government which is the reason for charging a premium of two per cent. upon the new bonds to be is- sued.
 The circular will contain full particu- lars for the guidance of those who de- sire to avail themselves of the privi- lege of refunding, and will be sent to each recorded owner of registered bonds of the two loans in question.
 The five per cent. bonds of the loan of 1904 will not be received for refund ing under this circular, but will be re- served for redemption. They mature February 1, 1904. The secretary stated in explanation of his action that he de- sired to put ttout a larger amount of two per cents which could be available to increase circulation in case of string ency.

The County Fair.

Only two weeks to county fair, and
everything indicates that this years ex-
hibition will be fully up to the standard
of the past which has made this fair one
of the most noted in the state.
Quite an amount of work has been
done in repairs and improvements about
the grounds in the past few weeks. The
front platform of the grand stand has
been rebuilt, and the walls of the stand
have been reprinted. The old judges
stand, which has stood near the gate,
has been taken down, and as Pat might
say, its removal makes a great addition
to that part of the grounds. The plat,
form formerly used for vaudeville acts
has also been removed, and in its place
rail for hitching horses has been put ny
at a little distance from the track fence
so that the people can get up to the
fence. No vaudeville performance is
advertised for this year, by the way.
An addition to the hay barn has been
built, nearly doubling its capacity. The
long restaurant building which stood
between the exhibition hall and the
main entrance has been moved over by
the oak tree, near where the Briggs
restaurant formerly stood, and is being
reconstructed into two connected re
| freshment booths. In place OF this
building high picket fence has beer
put up along the front of the grounds
making decided Improvement in thu
appearance of the place. In making
this change the entrance gate for foo
passengers next the building has beer
taken out, and everybody will have t'
90 down to the main entrance to get in
This is making progress backward. Thu
society will save dollar and half
day in gate keepers pay, but it is doubt
full if the public will appreciate 1T.
Quite a lot of work has also been done
on the track, which is now in first-clas'
/ condition.
