ITS MODEL TO BE CHANGED

The construction of the Americas Cup

experts as decidedly Inconsistent with
the new rule adopted this year by the
New York Yacht Club. designed TO
abolish the yachting freak and return to
the style of craft in use fifteen years
ago The Scientific American" has
called attention to the fact that since
1885 each succeeding American yacht has
been built less and less upon the model
of the boat which 1t is intended 20 have
hereafter, and that the Reliance is the
most exaggerated example of the ten
dency.
AS matter of fact. the challenging
yacht. Shamrock III. conforms much
more closely to the new model than the
Reliance, and If the two yachts had been
measured according to the rule which

What might be called the scientific pc

begins at about the period OF the races of
Puritan against Genesta. in 1885. The
growth to the exaggerated proportions of

eyitable outcome OF a rule of measure
ment altogether too broad and loose IN
it's specifications. The only elements
taken in this rule are length on the
water line when on an even keel and
total sail area. To the competing de-
signers the rule has said
When your yachts are placed under

they must not be over ninety feet long
on the water line, or if seventy footers
not over seventy feet. II you choose TO
make them a little less than these
lengths their rating will be diminished
accordingly Outside of this restriction
you may do just anything you please in
modelling your bulls. They may be built
o. any material; they may be broad or
narrow. shallow or deep; light and leak
able as a wicker basket or tight and
heavy as an ironclad- As to the spread

RAIN AND WIND
HIT COLUMBIA
Many Shade Trees Blown Down and
Window Paines Knocked Out
Streets Flooded TO Unusual Ex-
tent.

A very hard wilma and rain storm
visited Columbia Sunday afternoon,
doing considerable damage to shade
trees over the city and flooding the
streets very seriously. II was esti-
mated that nearly hundred trees or
parts of them were blown down. Many
telephone wires were blown down and
the electric wires were also damaged,
which eau sed delay to the electric
lights coming on about two hours. A
large number of window panes were
blown out in many residences.
The rain was one OF the hardest that
has ever visited this city, and
amounted almost to a waterspout. The
streets were flooded, streams rushing
down them like big creeks. The roof
of Mrs. Minnie fowler 8 brick residen 20
on West Seventh street, was damaged.
number of bricks being blown from
the upper wall and some of the tiues
and metal roofing carried to the
ground.
The rain extended throughout the
county, but in most places 1t was
milder than in Columbia. At Spring
Hill there was no wind aud only a
pleasant rain fell. Both telephone
companies had several of the wires
leading to different points in the coun-
ty blown down and communication
was impossible with several points.
The creeks throughout the county are
all very high and Duck river jumped
several feet.
News came from Campbell's Station
Monday morning that Fountain Creek
was out OF banks Sunday and did
considerable damage to crops grow
ing along it's course. 1t got up over
the railroad track, and did considera-

ACTsOF The LEGISLATURE OUT
Show Heavy Reduction In Number
of Esquires in Maury County.

The Acts of the Fifty third General
Assembly, just gotten out ty Secretary
of State Morton, show that no less
than twenty contIes of the State were
redistrlcted by the recent Legislature.
The counties were Bledsoe, Bradley,
Campbell, Carroll, Claiborne, Clay.
Cooke, Cum berland, Fentress, Grain
ger, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins,
Henry, Jefferson, Loudon, Maury,
Pickett, Roane and Wayne.
Judging from the cut made IN the
number of Justices of the Peace in
Maury County, that county most
strongly felt the effects of the evil
resulting from multiplicity of
'squires. Cnder the redlsrticting act
Marry Cunty now has but nine civil
districts and eighteen squlres instead
of twenty five districts and fifty squlres
as formerly. Fentress County cut the
civil districts from thirteen to six
and the number of j. P.'s from
twenty six to six, as unuer the redis-
trlctlng act only one Justice will be
elected from each district ins-ead of
two as has been the custom heretofore.
Beldsoe County reduced her civil dis
tricts from twelve to six, Cambell
County from sixteen to five, Carroll
from twenty-five to fifteen, Cooke
from sixteen to eight, Cumberland
from thirteen tn four, Granger from
fourteen to five, Hawkins from twenty
to seven, Henry from twenty five to
twelve, Jefferson from nineteen to
seven and Pickett, Roane and Wayne
each from fourteen to eight. The
other counties which were redis
tricted cut the number of their civil
districts from one third to one alf.
Many other counties are feeling the
squire evil now and when the next
Legislature meets flood of reuIs
tricting bills will be introduced and
passed. Davidson most likely will be
one OF these counties
