required that all of the yachts dimen-

the interest of sport and fair play
could be made if the New York Yacht
club was willing.
The present cup rules are, briefly,
"length, plus the square root of the
sail area, divided by two" This en-
ables Herreshoff or any other de
signer who has the genius or skill to
build boat like the Reliance, which
measures ninety feet on the water
line at anchor, but which when
heeled in breeze increases her water
line length to 125 or 130 feet 1t is
this extra length, which she does
not show under the rules, that enables
her to carry 10000 square feet of
canvas
Sir Thomas Upton, who has raced
for the cup three times, would like to
challenge again, but says under no
circumstances will he race for the
cup under the old rules He is eager
to race under what is known as the
universal rule" The universal rule
Is "1S per cent of the product of length
multiplied by the square root of the
sail area, divided by the cube root of
the displacement" This means that a
premium is put on displacement and a
penalty is put on over all length and
draft.
This rule has been in use in this
country for five years in all home
waters and has developed such good
boats as the Elena. Queen, Enchant-
ress, Avenger, Schima and several
others, all fine, seaworthy boats and
very fast.

SAW BLOND ESKlMOS FIRST.
Whalers For Thirty Years Have Told
Stories of Strange Tribe.

Captain Francis Tuttle of the United
States revenue service, retired, said
that for thirty years or more stories
of the blond Eskimo tribe recently de-
scribed by Professor Stefansson have
been told by old time whalers who
were sometimes driven into Bankland
by ice foes.
The narrators were laughed at and
called prevaricators when they de-
scribed Eskimos with red hair and
white skins. In the early nineties Cap
tain Tuttle. commanding the cutter
Bear met the whaler Balene, com
manded by Captain Bert Williams, now
residing at Irondale. Williams told
Tuttle of the strange tribe in Bank
land
Some of the members went aboard
but Williams could not understand
their language and learned little about
them. From his winter quarters VIII
liams could see a burning mountain
of coal. The natives led him to where
he obtained enough coal to supply his
vessel that winter.
BY signs the natives made Williams
understand that great mountains of
coal had been burning for generations.
Williams believed for 200 years. Tut
tie believes Williams was the man OF
whom one tribe told Stefansson.

by the statement from the United

Children who enter the schools now
go through the complete course.
This speaks well for the parents,

Upton WANTS
TO LIFT The CUP
Famous IriShman viii Race II
Rules Are Changed.
HE WILL BUILD TWO YACHTS.
Nine Years Since Last TussIe Be-
tween America and England Took
Place-Present Rules Are Unfair to
Foreign Contenders, He Says.

Sir Thomas Upton, who has again
challenged America to race for the in
ternational cup, says:
81 have feeling that the New York
Yacht club will meet me in regard to
the racing rules. No man can possibly
win the cup under the old conditions.
If the New York Yacht club adheres to
the old rules it might as well bury
the cup. If my challenge is accepted
shall build two yachts. Fyfe probably
will be the designer Of one, and the
other will be designed by the best pos
sible man in England.
"These two boats Will race, and the
better of the two will cross the Allan
tic as the challenger"
So far as any disinterested yachts
man knows, there is not the slightest
reason why the New York Yacht club
should not change its rules and give
Sir Thomas Upton another chance to
lift the cup unless 1t be that the pow
ers in the club do not wish to race for
the cup or, for some reason known only
to themselves, object to the challenger.
1t Is now nine years since the last
race was sailed, and owing to the OBJ
jections which foreign yachtsmen make
to the present rules 1t is doubtful If
another race will be sailed until they
are altered.
These rules could be altered under
the so called mutual agreement
clause" if the New York Yacht club
should be willing, but it insists that
foreign challengers must race under
the old rules or not at ALL
Under the original rules, for in

Football has been rejuvenated. A.
study of the games played so far this
season compared with those of last
year will convince any one that the
grldlron sport has been reborn. 1t has
been taken back to the days of line
plunging, and the team with the most
powerful line, the strongest line back

during 1912.

the Red and Blue barely defeated,
Pennsylvania college, 5-3. This year
1t was comparatively easy for Coach.

In 1911 Princeton downed Stevens
$40. The last game resulted in ESQ
victory for the Tigers.
Lafayette, Lehigh, the Indians, Dart

periority. Yale and Harvard alone
have had trouble. But probably the

There is one rule which has brought
about this change. 1t is providing

Whether the defense will do its
share when the stronger teams are met
remains to be seen, for Gettysburg
was woefully weak on offense and did
not give the Red and Blue forwards a
genuine test.
But we may rest assured that there
will be few small scores when the big
teams attain their full power under

Regular as Has Been Supposed,
Dogs Better Than Ponies For the
Work-No Flora Seen.
The Copenhagen newspaper Riget
prints the first detailed story of the
expedition of DR.. Alfred de Quervain
which crossed the icy waste of Green
land some time ago.
The expedition consisted, In addition
to DR.. Quervain, of six Swiss savants.
1t started with twenty dogs, three
sleds and ten Eskimo bearers. The
first, difficulty was the reluctance of
the bearers to persevere in the ven
ture. They promised to accompany
the party for FIVE days, but one by one
they deserted. One only stuck through
the whole journey.
The ascent toward the interior pla-
teau was reached in ten days, and on
June 20 the expedition began the real
Journey of crossing the ice wastes. At
first they travelled only sixteen miles
a day with view to sparing the dogs.
There We're tremendous ice crevasses
all around. They were in the most
dangerous part when suddenly, while
on the thin ice of an inland lake, the
whole expedition was immersed. On
emerging they found that their cloth
ing had been frozen stiff, but fortu-
nately only some of their provisions
had been lost.
Gradually the dog marches were ex-
tended to twenty eight miles a day.
They were frequently almost over
whelmed by fierce blizzards. The high
est point, $3.50 feet above the level of
the sea, was reached on July 10. This
was in longitude Al degrees AZ min
utes west, latitude 67 degrees 23 mill
utes north

Meanwhile the expedition had touch

| not tally with the facts.

| AT this time new danger threatened
the expedition. The food cache on the
east coast could not be located owing
to an error of the map, but fortunate
| ly Angmagsalik was not SO far away.
DR.. Quervain says the inland ice is
not so regular in its formation as has
hitherto been assumed. The lowest
! temperature encountered was % de-
| grees below. Flora was absent, but
birds were located as far as the forty
first degree Of west longitude The
dogs behaved excellently, and 1t was
with sorrow that they were slaughter
eded. But this had to be done, as they
would not be allowed to enter Ang-
magsalik. DR.. Quervain is convinced
that the dogs are better for this sort
of work than the ponies which Cap
tain Koch proposes to use In his expe-

The question which Newark must
confront in this campaign is the main
tenance of the protective tariff. The
personality of the candidates must dis
appear when this issue is considered.
Newark is city which depends to
great extent upon the tariff for the
prosperity of its business enterprises.
There are sections of the country where
Mr.. Wilson's ideas may be adyan-
tageous to the individual, but Newark
is not one of them. 1t has worked out
its salvation under the protective poll
cy, and it knows whence its prosperity
is come. There may be time when it
will be called upon to give up its
wealth and business success in order
to supply the comfort and wishes of
other sections of the country, but it is
not prepared to be so Indifferent to the
future of its people and of their chill
dren. Newark fayors a revision of the
tariff by intelligent, nonpartisan ex-
perts, but it does not want to repeat
the disasters of 1S93.-Newark Call.
