Hon. Champ Clark. member of
congress. said in Metropolitan Press
i had the exquisite pleasure of
hearing Geo. w. Balm at the Fort
Smith Chautauqua in Arkansas. The
audience was splendid. For over an
hour he swayed his hearers as the
storm king sways the forest. The
way that Col. Balm played upon that
weird harp of thousand strings.
the human heart. was a revelation to
me. shall always remember that
hour as one of the most ecstatic of
my life

The Only Sam Jones said-It has
been my privilege to hear and enjoy
Col George w. Balm. If he had not
been all pure gold, he would have
exposed the spurious long ago. He
wears like homemade jeans. He
sparkles like a diamond. He effer-
vesces like soda water. and is as
solid as stone mountain. He is
today one of the purest men have
ever known. He is all wool. yard
wide. and foot thick. He is better
than any course dinner l have ever

MAY HAZE CHALLENGE.
r. Il. G. Smith Expected to Bring
One from Sir Thomas.

Now that the yachting of 1898 is practi-
cally over. yachtsmen are turning their attention
the repeated rumOrs of challenge for the
Americas Cup from Sir Thomas J. Upton. The
success of his new yacht, the Shamrock with
which he has thirtyone races this season out
of total OF thirty-ve starts. twentyone Of these
being first prizes, has made him more enthusiastic
than in his desire to win the Americas Cup
According to the latest dispatches from England.
Sir Thomas said he would willingly spend his last
sixpence If necessary TO win the old trophy IL he
could only receive some assurance from authOri-
tative in the New York Yacht Club that his
challenge would be accepted IL sent. r. A c.
Smith. of this city, who was his host for much Of
tie time his last visit to this country. is on his
way from London to New York. and many believe
that lie is the bearer of n definite proposition
Sir Thomas has said repeatedly that he wanted
10 challenge with a 90-foot water line boat. built
according the New York Yacht Clubs present
rule. He also intends, he says to build two boats
this tme-one designed by AIyne and the other by
Fife-so that he try them out and then send
the faster of the two to America.
Speaking of the possibility of the New York Yacht
Club accepting challenge for race in 1903 under
its present rule, one of the members who has been
closely associated with all the recent races for the
Cup. said yesterday: There is no use talking of
what the club would would do at this time
Many of the members may be IN favor of having
a race under the new rule, which would of course
produce boat of seaworthy type, such as the
Queen or the Effort. but nothing can or will be
done until challenge is actually received. That
was the last time. when the challenge from
Sir Thomas declined Even If the club was in
clined to accept one with some notifications now
it is not likely to say in advance"
From other sources 1t was learned that if a chai-
lenge was accepted under any rule there will be at
least three new boats built. and probably six One
OF these would be owned by T. n Smith, the owner
OF the Effort. and would be designed by Henry ].
