Shamrock III. say that in their estima-
ton it is by far the best ever built on
European shores. Many new ideas are
embodied in the challenger, which
may prove a surprise to the Ameri-
cans.
The Shamrock III. is shorter than
the preceding Shamrocks or the Val
kyrie, is thoroughly British and not at
all planned after the American yachts.
1t has about twenty-five feet beams,
with a draft of little more than twenty
feet No attempt has been made to
bid for light weather qualities, as was
the case with it's predecessors.
Steel instead of bronze material has
been used and the bracing of the hull
is nearly the same as in the former
challengers. From mast to hull the
yacht puts up a trim and beautiful ap-
pearance and there is little wonder
that her many admirers and those who
understand her possibilities confident
ly expect victory.

Of animals become extinct. In the race

the nineteenth century. 1t became eX
tinct on this side OF the Atlantic
about 1910 and in Europe about 1874
The South African quagga disappear
ed about 1874. owing to the slaughter
by hide hunters. The thin-shelled
tortoise of the Galapagos islands be
came extinct In all probability about
1875. The black emu Of South Aus
tralia was also exterminated during
the century. though 1t was abundant
in 1903. The great cormorant was
last seen alive in 1889. and many
other species Of birds from all parts
Of the world have likewise been ex
terminated. In the Danish West In,

teen species catalogued in 1896, only
six still exist; and similar history
can be told of many other localities.

ference at Philadelphia last week to
discuss future athletic contests be-

was adjourned without a date for an
other meeting being decided upon.
1t was expected that definite action
would be taken on eligibility rules, the
arrangements for this years football
game and the question of tickets and
ticket scalping.
The navy representatives presented
new set of rules which barred all
players who had completed for four
years at some other institution prior
to their admission to West Point or
Annapolis. The army opposed this
rule and insisted that future games be
played under the same conditions as
heretofore existed. No decision was

were when the baby disappeared I'M
