WHY SHAMROCK III FAILED.

Capt Wrngc. who sailed Sha mrock III.
in the recent international cup races, eN-
plains in the Independent why 1t failed to
win. In his opinion it was entirely due
TO the difference in models. In every
other respect he claims that Shamrock
III. was quite as good as Reliance But
Reliance is of the scow model, or prac-
tically fiat bottomed, while Shamrock
is round bottomed and the scow model
is the faster. which he did not know
before the races. knowing it now, Capt.
WriuCe intimates that the next chal-
lenCcr will be a scow model and defends
the appropria ton of the Herreshof dc
sign because Herrcshoff borrowed from
the English. The America cup deten-
dcrs n while ago were all center board
crs," he says, but the center hoord gave
way to the lin keel, borrowed from US
Capt. Wringe says that Shamrocks L. H.,
and III. will all be converted into schoon-
ers and sold on this side of the water.

NOTHING AND SOMETHING.

~ Is nothing to me-" the beauty said,I
with careless toss of her pretty head, II
Inc man Is weak If he can't refrain
FROM tho cup you say Is fraught with
pain"
1t was something to her in after years
When her eyes were drenched with burn-|
ing tears,
And she watched in lonely grief and|
dread,
And startled to hear staggering tread.
ut is nothing to me-" the mother said
II have no fear that my bow will tread
The downward path of sin and shame,
And crush my heart and darken his
name"
1t was something to her when that only
From the path Of right was early won,
And madly cast in the flowing bowl
A ruined body and wrecked soul
ut is nothing to me-" the merchant
said
As over his ledger he bent his head;
~ m busy to-day with tare and tret,
And have no time to fumo and fret"
1t was something to him when over the
wire
\ message came from the funeral pyre-
a drunken conductor had wrecked al
train,
And his wife and child were among thel
slain.
at is nothing to me" the young mani
cried;
In his eyes was a flash Of scorn and
pride
~ heed not the dreadful things you tell;I
I can rule myself, I know fun we'll"
Twas something to him wher in pr,sonI
he lay,
The victim Of drink, life ebbng away;
AS he thought of his wretched child anal
wife,
And the mournful wreck OF his wasted
life.
1T is nothing to me-" the voter said;
The party's loss is my greatest dread"-l
Then gave his vote for the liquor trade.
Though hearts were crushed and drunk
ards made.
1t was something to him in after life
When his daughter became drunkard 4
wife.
And her hungry children cried for bread.
And trembled TO hear their fathers tread.
It is nothing for rs to idly sleep
While the cohorts of death their viEils|
keep,
TO gather the young and thoughtess in-l
And grind in our midst a grist Of sin

And clasp by faith our saviours hand
To learn to labor, I've. and fight
On the side of God and changeless right.
