New York, Sept 21.-A well-known captain
who has sailed in cup races in both an active and
advisory capacity, said today that Nat HERE
shon, In anticipation of another intsrna tiona]
race. has plans well under way for a new de.
fender.
Since Sir Thomas Upton expressed his desire
again to try to get 'that bloomln' mug" Captaiu
Herresho6 has been working out ideas for two
Doats, one to be q racing machine to At Ithe
measurement rules under which recent cup races
have been sailed, and the other new design
| adapted to the new rules of the New Yorh
Yacht club, under which British DESIGNERS be.
iieVe their prospects Of winning the cup would
be much better.
The difference between the proposed PAGERS Ia
remarkable, according to the captain inter.
viewed. The first, Swimming dish more ex.
IRENE than the much criticised Reliance, is in
olrect contrast ON to the other, speedy cruiser
such as Sir Thomas calls 'honest boat" and
one whose usefulness would not END with the
finishing gun Of the last race and be retired to
scrap heap, but would be serv1ceable for years
as q pleasure yacht .'' ".'s
In water like that in which the last races
Tor the cup were sailed, the new model would
not have any advantage over the Reliance but
in heavy or choppy sea she would be clearly
better boat. Her long and pointed bow would
cut the water instead Of being pounding board
Tor the waves; her deeper hull would steady her
against the waves instead of causing her to
splash, and IN word, she would be a boat that
can travel as fast In rough water as in lighter
weather. :
Under the now rule, the hull instead OF being
shell, vii ltxtend fairly into the water and not
depend so much upon tremendous weight In her
nm Keel to make her stand up under canvas

draught to eighteen feet, will it Is thought re-

THE UNIVERSITY

THE ENGINEERS.
ELECTION OF JUNIORS AT
THE VARSITY.
G. T. Christianson Chosen President in
the Face Of Butter, but Honest, Oppo-
acknowledgment Capture the Other
Ofices-No Charge Of Underhanded
Work.

The day of the corrupt university pol
itician has passed, and good government
is now the slogan in political contests
at the institution across the river.
The Junior class election was held this
morning, and for the first time in years
there has been no charge Of ballot stuff
ing or underhanded methods Of solicit
ing votes
The election was warmly contested
but the efforts Of the different factions
were confined to invectives, oratory and
other harmless methods of persuasion.
The engineers who have had the odium
connected with many questionable cam
paiigns in the past, conducted a clean
fight for their candidates and took de-
c.. T. Christensen, academic, and
candidates for the class presidency. On
the campus the .clandestine betting was
two to one, and later three to one, on
Lang. the engineer. Previous contests
mendous odds and it was not thought
that an academic could be chosen to
lead the third year class.
The vote resulted in a victory for
Christianson, 103 to 96, and a count Of
the room showed 100 present, a record
that has never been equaled in junior
elections.
Rsllying their forces the engineers
nominated Z. Z. Clement for vice presi-
dent, but the academies, in their happi-
ness, at securing the presidency, second
ed the nomination and Clement was
chosen unanimously.
The fight for the remaining places on
the ticket resulted in sweeping victories
for the engineers. Irene Radcliffe, aca-
demic, but supported by the engineers
was elected secretary, II. G. Rawson, en-
gineer, was chosen treasurer and M. D..
Tondil, sergeant-at-arms.
It is believed on all sides that the ex-
ample Of purity in politics set BY the
juniors will be emulated by the under
classmen in their Forthcoming elections.

A SPLENDID OPENING
Magnificent Display Today at the
-. Dayton Fall Opening.

There was treat in store today for
the hundreds, Of women who attended
the fall opening at Dayton g. The big
daylight store never looked more
| handsome and majestic, and the beauti-
full fall goods, with their rich color
ings, made feast for admiring eyes.
It Is not possible to describe in de-
that were displayed today and it Is
hard to say just what department re-.
ceived the most favorable criticism
from the throng Of women that visited
the store.
The art galleries, with their charming
hooks, are always attractive and inter-
esting. They were doubly so today, and
the beautiful pictures and art studies
called forth many comments of praise
and admiration.
The millinery department. was filed
to OVERLOOKING most Of the day and the
showing here was even more splendid
and attractive than in previous years.
There were hats displayed from the
leading millinery centers Of the world.
The display Of laces, robes and silks
beautiful exhibits Of the kind ever
shown in Minneapolis. Words Of praise
can but feebly describe the gorgeous
display. There are laces worth 800
yard and robes at $3.50. This gives
some idea OF the richness of the dis
play. One robe that attracted special
attention was combination of Rus
sian points, point de Venise and point
Gaze, with real Duchess and Brussels
point circular collars and Godet foun-
cling. The black and white spangIed
robes, which are very stylish, also at
tracted a great deal Of attention. There
were ,Godet founcings to match the
spangled robes.
The collection Of laces is a superb
one and must be seen to be really appre-
ciated. Among the specially handsome
things were the point de Venise. and
point Gaze applique laces. A dainty
thing for evening gowns was the point
applique founcing with Duchess border
Ing and dainty Duchess applique figures
in black and white.
Gorgeous Silks.
In the exhibit are some gorgeous eff
fects in evening silks. Among the
striking designs are the pastel grounds
with the gold and silver fleur de lis.
The Dolly Warden silks, exuuisitely
worked with gold and silver sequins in
delicate tracing effects, are very fash
ionable and very beautiful. Another
noticeable feature is the old rose bro
cade Of 80 years ago and pan satin with
gorgeous baskets of flowers in the
rarest colorings.
