Treasure Ground
The site was originally privately
owned. but vas sold by the Duke de
Monteleone in the year 1887 TO the
city. which has since then leased the
small ground plots that in all oc-
cupied q city block, TO the small
tenants. Americans generally be-

Of value were bought in the Thieves
Market for some ridiculously low
figure, but probably the proud
Yankee purchaser who felt that he
had won a great victory in his
~dickering for a price that he be-
lieved nominal. in the majority Of
cases carried off a clever imitation.
Stolen Wares Sold
As to the relationship between
the Volador and Belem, these two
landmarks are parallel in historic
value. but relatively they are
coordinated only in that some Of
the jail's inmates disposed Of their

with four separate entrances lead

Although q site away from the
center Of the city has been offered

tenants. where they may continue
in business. IL is problematical
whether the transfer will carry
with it other than the material in

Carolina and not in Louisiana or Me-

and it was in the thick of a corking
good base ball race last Summer in the
Piedmont League.
Goff Is the third baSeman who played
for Henderson while the bosses were

league that were averse to playing night
base ball. They were Raleigh and
Henderson and they refused to knuckle
down to 1t until an order from head
quarters told them they must do so.
Henderson gave battle to the Pied
mont outfit in August and finally came
through in September, winner Of the
pennant for 1880. The spirit with
which the team played took the fancy
Of those who saw 1t on the diamond

As q result the Giants bought the

name Of Jones who batted very well. It
Is usually the case that all Joneses are
good batters in base ball, and the Giants
are particularly anxious to get out

the ball. While New York was taking
Jones, the White Sox were kept In

NEW REGULATIONS
FOR RACING YACHT.
Mechanical Devices Done
Away With-Must Work
Above Deck.

By the Associated Press.
ONDON, October 23.-1ritish and
4 American yacht racing authori-
IL ties have agreed to do away with
the mechanical yacht, which
came into fame In the recent races Cor
the Americas Cup, In future interna-
tional contests.
After q series Of conferences In which
Norman Clark Neill and B. Heckstall-
Smith, British representatives, met
first with New York Yacht Club rep
resentatives then with the council Of
the British Yacht Racing Association.
The council yesterday voted to adopt
with notifications the New York Yacht
Clubs rule rating racing yachts Of
above 141z meters in length.
The modification provides that class
] yachts, which includes all Americas
cup contenders, must carry q mast
Weighing at least $500 pounds bare,
that standing rigging shall not be Get
UP nor worked below the upper deck,
and that the yachts shall be fitted with
reasonable" living accommodations.
This change eliminates many Of the
ingenious but expensive devices used by
the cup defender Enterprise in its re-
cent triumph over Sir Thomas Lipton's
Shamrock v. The light and efficient
dhraluminum mast and the various be.
low-deck devices for handling the
sheets, halyards and backstays come
under this ban, but the winch for hoist
ing the heavy mainSail and the unique
boom with which the Enterprise was
equipped, called ''the greatest con-
tribution TO yachting engineering in
many years" by Charles Nicholson,
Shamrock's designer, viii be allowed.
The new rule goes into effect jan
uary and all yachts must comply with
