Upton WILL SOUND MEMBERS
WILL CANVASS NEW YORK
YACHT CLUB.

NEW YORK, October 21.-The coming
of Sir Thomas Upton to our shores has
stirred up a deal of interes. as to what
measure Of success the Irish baronet will
have in his endeavors to bring about
another race for the Americas cup Sir
Thomas is expected here on the steamship
Cedric Saturday, and will ascertain from
members of the New York Yacht Club
whether they will accept a challenge for
the historic cup under the universal rules
which now govern races held by the New
York Yacht Club, or whether the club
still insists that the Americas cup con-
test must be held under the old nditfons,
which permit the greatest maximum
speed upon a given water line length
without other restrictions.
The Baronet's Contention.
Sir Thomas holds that the old rule has
resulted In the development of freak
yachts Of such fimsy construction that
there is grave danger Of the challenger
going to pieces at sea while being brought
to this country on her own bottom as
provided for in the conditions of the con-
test. But under the present racing rules
Sir Thomas believes that a fast substan-
tial yacht can be built and the challeng-
of success.
The Irish baronet hopes to convince the
New York Yacht Club that a race for
the Americas cup can never again be
held under the old conditions, and that
if the club maintains the attitude 1t took
two wears ago it is equivalent to locking
UP the classic mug in the clubs trophy
room.
II is learned. however, that unless the
feeling among the more influential of the
club members undergoes a change Sir
Thomas visit is likely to fail.
Little Chance of Success.
Doubtless many members of the club
and the public generally would he to see
another Shamrock In these waters" said
prominent officer of the New York
Yacht Club, "but Sir Thomas must chal-
lenge under the old conditions, which arc
provided for in the deed of gift. The feel
ing of the club has undergone no change
since Sir Thomas challenge was declined
two years ago. OF course. nothing official
will be done by the club until Sir Thorn
as lays before the members a formal
challenge. But it is certain that the
Americas cup stands pre-eminently for
vote to change the conditions. which
only limit the water-line length to ninety
feet without other restrictions
Should Sir Thomas decide finally to char
lenge under the old rule, and this Is re-
garded as extremely unlikely, the New
York Yacht Club will meet the challenger
with the Reliance, which showed such
speed in her races with Sham
rock ~.

Walter Kitchener at DISADVANTAGE.

Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is sta
toned at Bermuda, is brother of
Lord Kitchener. and this fact has
worked against him rather than for
him. He is considered a clever SOL
dier In England, and at the time of
the war in South Africa 1t was
thought that he would receive an i'm
portant post that would become va
cant. He was passed over and his
brother, Lord Kitchener, was asked
for the reason. 1T should have gone
to my brother" he said. but if l had
given 1t to him everybody would have
yelled favoritism' at the top Of their
voices. SO I picked someone else"
Walter Kitchener was expected at
Cape Town at railway station once
when an old lady rushed in excitedly
and asked at what platform Lord
Kitchener was expected to arrive. No
one seemed to know anything about
his visit until 1t finally dawned upon
the staff officer that she had heard of
the arrival of his brother. He in
formed her that this was only Kitch-
ener that was expected Il call 1t a
shame that this man, whoever he NAV

lacing of supports to permit of the
least possible damage from the shots
of the enemy.
1t has been shown by experiments
that this form of structure will stand
the greatest amount of puncture from
shots before it collapses, and so the
navy department is replacing the more
or less solid structures with this
grapevine arrangement.
The new mast, while rising to the
height of the topmast OF the old style,
is only about one-fifth of the weight,
averaging about 1000 pounds, as
against $4,000 pounds OF most masts
of the old style. The height of the
new masts from the water to the look
out is about 120 feet. or approximately
the same as the old ones, but the
"eye" of the ship is infinitely safer on
the top of the new masts than it was
on the top of the old wooden topmasts.
The illustration very adequately
shows the masts on the battleship
Missouri recently fitting at the
Charlestown navy yard, the foremast
being the new model and the main
mast the old.

ton The body removed from the base of
the oak about rs years ago. 1t never should have
been removed.
1t is said that Washington selected the place
where his body now lies and left instructions
that day the change of sepulcher should be
made. The oak which guarded the first grave
must have been standing for three centuries.
The view from the place is inspiring enough to
eEkindle the eyes of dead man. The view from
the new tomb is fine in its way, but it is moth
ing to the grand sweep of river, htops and for
ests which moves before the eye from the place
where Washington slept for 30 years.
Hundreds of visitors go to Mount Vernon
daily. They peer into the tomb and then
straightway go to the house. There is an inter
est, of course, which must attach to any of the
belongings of Washington, but it to be
legitimate matter of regret that of the thousands
who go to Mount Vernon the interest in the mir
which Washington used when he shaved and
in the spoon with which he ate his porridge, II
he ate porrdge, is far greater than in the fol est
trees under which he walked and in the garden
whose hedges of formSl cut were planted with
his hand.
Indoors at Mount Vernon everything is dead;
outdoors everything is alive. The forest and
garden instinct with Washington; the
tents of the house dust.
There Is a real interest. however. in the

are simply copies of those which the
