YACHT RACING is
AN EXPENSIVE SPORT.
Over n Million Dollars Will Be Expend-
ed This Year in Contest Between
Shamrock and Reliance.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, Aug. Occasional inquiries
are made by thoughtful citizens regarding
tho cost of challenging and defending the
Americas Cup, but the answers received are
always useful. The conclusion Is that the
expense must be enormous, but as It is i'm
possible to obtain anything like accurate
figures, the subject is generally dropped.
On the eve Of the international match of
this year 1t may be Interesting to refer to
this important point and at the same time
to place the public in possession Of a few
facts that will give them good idea of the
amounts of money that are expended in try
ing to capture the old yacht trophy and in
the efforts made by the New York Yacht
Club to defend 1t.
The planning and building Of a cup chal-
lenger or defender involves much time and
labor, and necessarily the outlay of large
sums of money. The designer and his corps
OF assistants are the first who must be met
With the designer secured. the builders in
satisfactory in this wise, materials must be
considered, then the rigSers kept in mind,
as well as the saimakers, while finally, the
shippers and crew are secured. Money Is
required by all these. ana much Of 1t.
Even after a vessel is completed and
placed in commission, alterations and re-
while docking the craft for cleaning and
smoothing purposes means large additional
sums. The rather startling statement was
made by Sir Thomas Upton years ago that
the mere cost of the Shamrock I was be-
tween 100000 and 10000, while the expense
of bringing the vessel across the ocean and
that of her officers and crew was extra
II he expended a sum approaching half
million dollars four years ago the pres
ent trip Is costing him, according to a
conservative estimate, between $4,000 and
$4,000.
With the amount that 1T costs the de-
Tending side. however. the interest is more
widespread. BY the time the yachts were
ealle1 to sail the first race for the cup
the Reliance, selected to defend II, will
have cost. one way and another sta5.000 or
more. That Is q, staggering amount to
contemplate. but when everything is cleared
up at the end Of the season it may be
$4,000.
In addition to this sum. there must be
considered that the placing in commission
of the Constitution and her running ex-
penses reached from Sc, 1900 to 10000, while
the Columbia has cost possibly $4,000 or
IS, 600 more.
1t will be seen. therefore, that the de-
Tense Of the cup this year will approach
the very respectable amount of $4,000 or
100000

on q white cot in a narrow. well-lghted
room on the second floor Of the City Hos
pital yesterday afternoon and laughed and
prattled with her mother, aunt and many
friends who had come to see her.
Whether the left leg can be saved Is
doubtful. 1t probably will be two or three
days before the hospital surgeons can de-
eide whether an operation is necessary. The
child has been unconscious at no time since
the accident, and she apparently suffers no
pain.
Little Dorothy was restless. however. and
frequently changed her position on the cot
She slept but little. occasionally going into
light slumbers. from which she quickly
awakened.
Her injuries are serious. She sustained
a compound fracture Of the left knee. and
the left foot was crushed. She was also
badly bruised on the forehead and on the
left side Of the head.
AROUSES MUCH SYMPATHY.
Never has there been a patient in the City
Hospital that aroused more sympathy
among the physicians, nurses and inmates
than has this child. When she was placed
on the operating table soon after the acci-
dent, she laughed and prattled in childish
language In the operating-room at the

the room who were not busy gathered
around her.
They soon learned that Dorothy has
great fondness for silver, and many nickes
and dimes were given to her.
Are you going to buy candy with that
money! asked one Of the attendants.
II don't Ike candy, replied Dorothy,
looking up at the questioner with her big,
dark-brown eyes. II Ike soda water and
ice cream, and when I get home I'll buy
some with my money. And then I'll get
dolls and buggies.''
While her injuries were being dressed, the
surgeons would not let Dorothy have any
water. Reaching her slender white arms
