was still falling. Everybody thought 1t

were raised to seven two. The plucky

Mr. Charles Hurkamp was thrown and

contest He had ridden Amaret over
seven jumps. The performance mad been
perfect But at the eighth the horse
tipped and turned complete somersault,
Mr.. Hurkamp fell heavily. but was not
seriously hurt.
Mr.. Hugh D. Bennett, master of the
Warrenton Hunt, got nasty fall In
this class His mount, Colleen Dawn, fell
at tho second hurdle and threw him some
distance. sHis injuries were not of a SCI
rious nature.
There We're few out-of-town people at

were here for the show had gone home.
But the Richmond people turned out 10y

the crowd which would be seen at the

Possibly this impression Was created by
the applause which every number re-

jections to the screw are well known,
and the problem Is clearly defined Of
how to exceed present speeds with
much less power.
a French engineer has now come for
ward with the idea Of a really radical
nature Of doing away with the screw
altogether on ships and of abolishlng
even the rudder He has constructed
and operated little boat IN the struc-
ture Of which no one can see any ma
chinery or exterior arrangement and
whose movement. eyolutions and speed
are asserted by him to give an incom-
parable superiority over all that has
been hitherto done OK attempted He
declares that this has passed the stage
Of plans or designs and is an actually
accomplished fact
This new system, which at first APP
pears fantastic, but which has been
tested and IS founded on vigorously sci
entiife principles. can be applied to all
kinds Of ships, even to submarine boats,
to which it gives the speed which has
been lacking until now. Indeed. it
is in submarine boats that the screw
less and rudderless system will bring
the great Improvement which is anx-
iously awaited BY all the navies Of the
world In this new system there are
none Of the complicated parts, or the
shocks or vibrations Of the screw sys-
tenn, nothing Of the Inconvenience Of
cavitatiou, for there is no screw.
The inventor has called his first boat
the Fantaisie. It has been tested I'M
der the most varied conditions and has
always given astonishing results. Ia
considering resistance to the progress
Of a ship three factors must be taken
into account friction, the resistance Of
baclywater and the resistance produced
by the waves. Precautions have been
taken to minimize these three resist
ances in the system ID question.
The new screwless and rudderless
system has been offered by its invent
or to the government Of the United
States, and it is in one of the American
ports and exclusively for the govern.
ment at Washington that trials and
experiments will be made.

United States Government Offer
ed New Form Of Propulsion.
IT MEETS THE TURBINES DEFICITS

Novel Boat, the Fantasia, Invented
by Frenchman, said to Have Civ
en- Astonishing Results Under Tx
periment--It Can lie steered with
out Rudder ana Supplies speed
For Submarines.
The application Of the screw to the
propelling Of ships was one Of the
great and fertile inventions Of the
nineteenth century, aud the improve
nlents made in power machines, in the
means and material Of propulsion, IN all
kinds Of conditions and in the arrange.
ment Of the screw appear to have
reached the limit of progress in the art
Of navigation, says the New York Her
aid.
Quite recently there have been shown
the remarkable advantages Of the APP
plication Of turbines to the movement
Of ships that is to say, an arrange
ment by which the screws are turned
by the direct and immediate applica-
ton Of steam to the shaft. It is evil
dent that BY this system a real advan-
tage is obtained from several points of
view simplidcation Of the machinery
and moving parts, greater safety in the
action and, finally. more rapid and
regular movement to induce The great
est speed.
Unfortunately on this new line,
which seemed to promise perfect re-
sults and to form in way the ideal
system, a grave, or, rather, an insur-
mountable, difficulty was met with
that Is to say, disastrous phenome-
non was encountered, caused precisely
by the acceleration or exaggeration of
the speed of the screw It is now
known that when a screw turns in
liquid mass beyond a certain deter
mined speed a cavity is produced, 50
that the screw turns III d void
Quite recently the study Of this phe-
nomenon which is called the break
ing Of water cylinders" or phenome-
non Of cavltation, was the object Of an
interesting communication to the Paris
Academy Of Sciences The result Of
this phenomenon. today perfectly I'M
derstood, is that very large part Of
the dynamic energy that is TO say, Of
the motive and propelling power is alb
sorbed By the formation and mainte-
nance of this cavity. There is therefore
a considerable loss Of power, amount
ing to three-sevenths Of the generating
or Initial power, and the speed Of tile
vessel can no longer pass a certain
limit, in spite Of the enormous force OF
power per ton Of material
TO reach the greatest speed there
have been put on ships two and even
three screws, moved by very great
power, which is evidently out of pro-
portion to the results obtained-results
which even appear ridiculous, ia view
Of the power used Thus the great OBJ
