LAYING THE NEW
DEFENDERS KEEL
HERRESHOFF is CONFIDENT HIS
LATEST BOAT WILL BE A WON
DER AND "a WINNER.

NEW YORK, December 26.-Late adj
vices to the Tribune from Bristol, r. l.,
where the new keel sloop is being built
to try issues with the Constitution and
Columbia for the defense of America s
cup, show that extra care is being TAX
en- in the plating of the lead keel. To-
bin br )nze plates have been snugly fit
ted to the lead, secured by hundreds of
screws. The edges of the plates butt
so snugly that they form an absolutely
smooth surface, it is said. The work
is regarded as the best ever seen on the
keel of a cup yacht.
While none of the frames have been
set up yet they are nearly ready, and
soon after the stem and stern posts
are in place, the frames will be set up
at the rate of between six and ten a
day.
Those who are in close touch with
Captain Nat Herreshoff say they never
saw him so confident as now. He firm
ly believes that he has designed a boat
that will beat the Columbia and the
Constitution easily. From the water
line up, it is said the plans of the new
boat show a slight tumble home, A"
which means that her beam win be
greater at the water line than or deck
The new boat has longer keel than
either the Constitution or the Colum-
bia and she is also to be a trine long
er over all. Her floor will be flatter
and her bilges rounder than those of
the other two.

FIRE CAUSES
GREAT LOSS
KERR AND MORGAN'S PLACES
COMPLETELY GUTTED-COEsID-
ERABLE INSURANCE CARRIED.

A disastrous fire occurred at d late
hour Saturday night resulting in a loss
of probably $125,000 and the complete
cutting of the dry goods establishment
of l. b. Kerr and Company ana the
auction rooms of Jas. f. Morgan on
Queen street. So far as can be learn
ed now the fire was an accident. In
suance to about 900 was carried by
the various parties affected by the
fire.
About 1920 o'clock Saturday night
Barney Oat the special Waterman saw
some one enter Kerrs store and close
the iron doors. This was evidently Mr..
Whitehead the bookkeeper who was
employed on extra work incidental to
the first of the month. Shortly after
II o'clock a policeman saw the reflec-
ton of flames and turned in an alarm.
The firemen experienced difficulty in
getting into Kerr's store as the front
portion was shut in by iron doors and
shutters. Deputy High Sheriff Chill
lingworth and Special Officer Dan Re-
near battered away the cement and
opened several windows enabling the
tiremen to get the lines of hose to work.
The various retail departments of
Kerr's establishment were located on
the ground floor while the upper floor
was utilized as a storage and packing
room. The materials in the place were
of a highly inflamable character and
the fire soon got such Roadway that a
general alarm was sounded.
The fire burned it's way through the
partition that enclosed Morgan's place
and soon was destroying everything
stored in Morgan's auction rooms. Kerr
had about $4,000 worth of sewing ma
chinese stored on the floor above Nor
gans place and these. We're probably
all ruined by the fire and water.
Kerr sustained the principal loss.
Practically every thing in his stock
which amounted in round numbers to
about $4,000 was destroyed About
$4,000 in insurance. was carried. Nor
CAMS loss including the various goods
which had been left there for sale,
amounted to about $4,000. Morgan car
ried about $1,000 of insurance. The
damage to the buildings which were the
property of the James Robertson Es-
tate amounted to about 100000.
Mr.. Whitehead stated that he left
the store shortly after going inside.
Everything was then in good order and
he detected no signs of fire. 1t is
thought that perhaps a burning ciga-
rette or cigar stump or spark from a
partially consumed match might have
caused the fire An inquest will be
held by High Sheriff Brown.
