RELIANCE'S
BOOM IS
IN PLACE
Big Spar Was SIung on the
New Yacht al BriStO!
Today.

While the sailors on board the Con-
stittuion at Bristol were being given
practice in sail handling today. Billman
and his men were bending their efforts
TO get the rigging OF the Reliance In shape
for the canvas so that the builders trial
spin might be FASTENED.
The first work done this forenoon on
the new craft was the singing OF the
main boom TO the mast. II Is very
fine spar I'm finish and strength. and Is
ia feet long, SO that 1t extends con-
siderable distance over the stern. Al
though the boom Is five feet longer than
that OF the Constitution. 1t does not
appear TO stretch itself out to greater
degree because OF the long overhang
aft In the Reliance. There are a number
OF patent fittings on the spar in the way
of caring for the sail and holding 1t out
on the foot.
The raising OF the topmast and the
stationing OF the main boom gave the
Reliance a more racy appearance than
she has had heretofore. Although the
yacht was down by the head considerably
when the mast was stepped. she has
righted somewhat since the boom has
been attached. and the ewight OF the
mainsail win farther send her down aft
SO that she will float on an even keel.
The builders trial will probably occur
curing the latter part Oh next week IN
anticipation, the seamen are painting and
vanishing the spars and the riggers are
reeving the throat halyards and finishing
up the splicing Of the ends Of the tcpmast
stays.
Capt. Rhodes has begun has prepara-
tions for sailing the Constitution TO
Newport. The men were given training
In hosting the nxlinsail. and the big
canvas was raised in very quick time.
The forestaysail and jib were sent aloft
In stops, for the first trip, but the main
sail was furled until the time OF the
start had been definitely decided upon.

The meeting ended shortly after I
o'clock The dealers would say little
about what was done and at first claimed
nothing had been done. stating that a
schedule OF coal rates had been compiled
and there would be change in coal
prices next week.
The dealers will hold another session
Monday. The meeting today was of
considerable Importance because II was
delayed till nearly o'clock waiting the
arrival of one or two dealers who had not
shown up.
It Is known that the Eastern Coal COM
pany's troubles came up and received
some discussion. but the dealers carefully
refrain from any statement OF what ac-
ton was taken.

evening In Team. Drivers hall and stayed
In session TIL after II O'Clock The
trouble between the local Teamsters'
union and the Eastern Coal company was
discussed and IL was decided to place
the Eastern Coal company on the unfair

There were 80 representatives OF local

TO the Eastern Coal company was the
unanimous vote
The effect OF this action will be a boy
