YACHTS AND YACHT RACES Sir Thomu Lipton Talks Frtely ot Fment Gup Raoing Otndltiois. MARINE FREAKS DANGEROUS TO HANDLE Xlnely-Fnntprs I'rononnceil Alunrtl n Viiehts, tselpsii for AnjthlnK liut nnclnu A Choline of . Holes Urged, Sir Thomas Lipton Is not only a sports man, ho has a" very clear Idea of wha con- - i nnd his grotesque models, tho Shamrocks, glvo him as . mucU concern ns thoy do sailor men .... ........ architects. In discussing tho matte - or i.. .ii.i nn Mm nhsiird nnd arbitrary rules governing tho races for tho cup, ho spoko feelingly upon the sumcci. "There is not a day," said he, "that I do not feel thankful thcro nro no nccldcn s. Theso huge, light spars of tho sing le-s Ick crs, together with their nbsurd build, havo n,.,t ihn handling of theso machines ono of considerable danger. They nro no longer yachts nnd can be used tor notnmg nui me for which they nro built. If wo could only get to using legltlmato models there would bo much more sport nnu saieiy and tho vessels would bo yachts. They would stand for something. As It Is thoy mean nothing nt all. "Mr. Jlutlcr Duncan told mo ho hnd many of his best men leave him because of the danger of hnndllng gear aloft. Tho light est tqunll or puff may coiso tho carrying nwny of tomo lino or block and then tro man Is very npt to lose his hojd nud go plunging down from a height of over ICO fcot. I, myself, wns knocked senseless for many minutes during tho Occident that oc curred while tho king was aboard Sham rock II. Many thousand yard a cf ennvts nnd my mast aro still lying thcro on tho bottom nnd It wns almost a mlraclo some one wns not killed outright. We hnvo to tuno tho boats up to too high a pitch on thco curtailed lines and It Is a grenl pity." What Sir Thomas says Is what many sailors know. But no one has suggested n remedy for It. Thcro has been no con certed notion tnken to bring tho sport luck to legitimate nnd comprchenslvo lines. The whole game now Is to stick to tho rules nnd keep tho other fellow from "lifting" tho cup. (iiniiKP of Itnli'M t'rncd. It Is your fault entirely," said S'r Thomas, meaning tho other side, '"for I must abide by tho rules. I would, however, only too willingly ngrco to some new de velopment of tho rules by which wo might get down to rcnl ynchtlng', that Is, uso ves sels thnt stand for something In tho way of a sailing yacht ns Erin does for those cf steam. Then the affair would tako on a loss professional aspect nnd bo moro In keeping with truo sport." This shows that Sir Thomas Is not actu ated by Bclfish motives und that the go-d of tho entire maritime community Is taken Into his consideration ns well us his dcslro to succeed In attaining his end. "Let everything bo taken Into considera tion," continued Sir Thomas, "and do r.ot narrow tho eport down to tho caprices that now obtain In it." Sir Thomas did not outline nny particular plan ot reform. This, of course, ho would not think of doing under present conditions, ns It might bo construed ns "kicking" when tho game docs not suit. Whatovcr happens, ho will doubtless accept everything In tho snmo spirit that has characterized his ac tions In the matter from tho beginning, and this Is beyond criticism. What tho baronet does not know about small vessels It would bo hard to say. Any man of Intelligence who has constructed several craft ns studiously ns ho has would havo little loft to learn In marine archi tecture, and Sir Thomas 1b rather keen and discerning by nature. Therefore his vlows on tho question of build should not be overlooked, for his argument of tho mnt- ter Bhowed that ho was not simply tho millionaire shipowner, but an able advo cate of tho legltlmnto builder. Ily this It Is not meant for n moment to cast reflec tion upon tho work of ono or two yneht designers, for they simply have to follow certain lines. They would probably bo only too glad to conform to models that their patrons could mako uso of. Thoro nro few nbler vessels of tho samo tonnngo than tho old AmeMca today and for a rncu across tho Atlantic thero would bo a largo majority of sailor men putting their hopes on such n model, nnd If this all-around useful typo should return to favor many non-owning members of prominent clubs would be tempted to build themsolvcs boats which should bo at onco pleasure craft nnd rncers, where they would not think of building a mere racing machine, worthless when the raco Is over. font of the Sliniurockn. Sir Thomns does not nppear to think there Is nny less Interest nbroad over tho International races than here. Only, of course, hero wo havo tho nffnlr before us. This Is probably n mistake, for the leading Journals in Eugland do not regard tho mat ter as nerlously nB wo do, viewing It en tirely from tho standpoint of tho sports man who witnesses u horse raco. Among the members of the yacht club tho Interest Is Intense, but less marked among tho or dinary citizens. The stolid Ilrlton could novor bo persuaded to adopt, or even con sider such lines for building ns are de veloped by tho Shamrocks "Tho amaunt of money I hnvo expended on theso boats," said Sir Thomas, "will never bo fully realized even by yachtsmen. Tho new metal, Immndlum, has been enor mously expensive nnd their entire con struction has Involved moro enro than that of nny vessel afloat. Yet when I nm through with them thoy nro of no further value." Now Sir Thomas Is not penurious. A more free-handed yachtsman never lived and his regret Is not for tho loss of money, but tho waste of effort. There was enough grey matter used In developing these ships to havo constructed an Oceanic or Deutsch- land. And all for no other purpose than to lift" a cup whoso valuo Is very small Indeed. "It Is a most nbsurd model," says tho owner, "and n poor excuso for a shin." ii is not so vory difficult to procure a sot of rules that would bo intelligent and at tno same time keep the ships within prac tical limits. If a vessel of ninety feet water-line length wns not allowed mora than n certain deck length and limited to two fathoms draught thero would bo al most n certainty ot having a model of n real vessel for practical navigation. Time allowance Is manifestly ridiculous. Tho vcssni, imtit within tho bounds of prnetlC' ability, which "gets there, first." should nl ways bo tho winner. In comparing tho ability of different men wo do not monsuro tho skull's thickness and deduct a certain amount accordingly; nor Is it necessary to tnko Into serious consideration tho absorb ing qualities of tho genus homo. The. man who produces tho most valuable output is the man who stands to win, and whether bo has a big stomach or fat head makes very little difference, Indeed, Waiitp of Time nnd Money. "I will sny," said Sir Thomas, in closing our little discussion, "that thero Is no ques tlon concerning the races that Interests me more than that of a change of mattl, made possible by a cl argo of the rules. Every yachtsmaa who is Interested la Oils greatest of sports should glvo tho matter considera tion. Tho yacht Is a comparatively now Invention, for ns we look backward wo find few existing a couplo of generations slnco, and none nt nil In tho days of tho colonies. Tho development of both tho sailing vessel and steamer has been so rapid and ho fraught with tho mennlng of national de velopment that too much consideration of the subject ennnot bo had. It means more than mere sport or a deslro to prove by playful combat tho superiority of ono tin tlon or the other." Anyone who will tnko the trouble to look up thy records of our own mnrltlmo de velopment will see thnt this is so. How many vessels have boon modelled after thai, famous schooner America! I havo had the pleasuro of owning nnd commanding moro than one. It wns simply a typo that may bo ngaln renewed for tho benefit of sea followers generally. Let us hope that tho day will soon nr- rlvo when wo can again see many models of our champion In uso both ai pleasure nnd cargo craft, and theso nbsurd metal fins with a float stuck on top to carry a sail relesatcd to tho scrap heap, T. JENKINS MAINS. PROPAGATING NEW FISH Kx!prliurtit Vhrrrln Inventive Mnn Set-kit to HrliiK About n Choline of Nntnrr'n I.nwn. OMAHA, Sept. 2. Editor Omaha Hoc Newly Invented fishes. According to Hen Aklba thoro Is nothing now under tho sun: history only repeats itself, but we doubt very much If men ever before tried to dabble or Interfcro with tho laws of nature, with such boldness ns has been tried of lato by our modern scientists. "From tlmo Immemorial It has been tho aim of men to preserve, Improve nnd keep from degeneration valuable and useful ani mals, and this has led to tho most wonder ful developments of nnlraal kind." Hut only In Into years have scientists not nlono tried to preserve, but they have gono a step beyond that; they havo tried to create, or rather to Invent, new specimens of the animal kingdom, and theso experi ments wero crowned with so much success as to give us nn Insight ns to tho possi bilities In this lino in tho future. Thus, for instance, by hybridizing or cros3-brccdlng two different kinds of fishes, our fish culturlsts have succeeded In crenl Ing entirely new species of the plscntorinl tribe. Tho latest and successful trial re sulted In creutlng a hybrid by tho cross breeding of tho excellent and palatable shad (Clupea Sapldlsslma), with tho striped bass (Iloccus Llneafis). This newly created animal, of which natural hlstorj has nover spoken, Is not only oxtunt In a few specimens kept In nn aquarium, but It is nllvo and swims, and has been dis tributed In several thousand specimens In tho waters of the Susquchannn by tho Havre do Ornco fish hatcheries. Tbo result is watched with the greatest anxiety. Tho 'success of this experiment Is tho more remarkable, ns these two Kinus of fishes belong to two entirely different families. Tho shad belonging to tho Clupoldo nnd tho bass to tho Serrnncldoo. It could ns easily bo expected that a cross between a tiger nnd n hippopotamus might lay within tho scope of possibilities ns a cruss between a spiny-rayed bass with a soft-rayed shad, nut still tho experiment has been successful and it was accom plished in a very simple manner. Tho Bpawn ot tho female shad was brought In contnet with tho milt or spermntosua of tho bass, nnd thus Impregnated, and nfter being hatched out with tho usual mechanical, ap paratus, they were in tlmo distributed In tho waters of that vicinity. A similar cross was obtained petwocn tho shad nnd tho branch herring (Clupoi Vcrnnlls). Unfortunately tho result has not proved an Improvement over tho original kinds, the now fish being tasteless nnci tun of small bones, nnd not considered worthy to havo a placo on tho menu of its creator and Is only of value as a curiosity, nut this docs not matter, it Is the opinion of zoologists that tho cross-breeding of kinds different from thoso two named will glvo moro satisfactory results In the future Tho main object In these experiments of hybridizing of different kinds of fishes has been crowned with success, and tho initia tive has been taken, for futuro experiments In this lino In all government hatcheries, It Is also reported from California that tho cross-breeding of brook trout with th9 salmon hns been successful, which it a moro remarkable phenomenon on nccount of tho difference In tho size of theso fishes, al though scientifically of not so much valuo, as both of these fishes belong to the samo family, the Salmoncldoo, and is therefor nothing abnormal. As remarked before the artificial cross breeding nf fishes Is only In Its experi mental stage, but It has been demonttrnt)d that It Is within tho scopo of possibilities to hybridize n great many different kinds. The next question Is, "Will they bo fertile? 'Will those hybrids be capable of repro duction? Experiments made by the Gorman scientist, Dr. Karl Knantbe, who hybri dized the scale carp (Cyprlnuj Carplo Com IN THE BATH Neutral, White, Floating", Fragrant, refreshes and cleanses, making you delightfully clean, softens and nourishes the skin.

If till) theory Is correct, men will bo given th i power to not only increase immenMurnhly tho number of the Inhabitants of sen nnd river, but to also change tho nature, le qulrements, Internal, ns well as exterral structuro of the ilnny tribe. And If this Is possible with fishes, why should It not bo pceslblo with crustaceans nnd Lib r denizens of tho deep? Perhaps tho day 's not far distant when tho fresh wnt r crayfish will bo cross-bred with tho ta t water lobster; or tho oyster with tho clam. What n prospect for the epicure! Co in in e n tn of tin- Writer. Although tho feasibility of cross-breeding different kinds of fishes has already been fully demonstrated by experiments, it has so far been valueless, except ns n curi osity. Hybrids havo n:ost nlways been found to bo Inferior to tho parent fishes; furthermore they hnvo shown to hnvo a decided tendency toward n.nlformntlon, and havo not ptovod to be a benefit commer cially nnd economlcnlly. They are nlmost Invariably barren nnd Incnpable of repro duction If left to their natural state. The carps, and possibly a few other genurn fur nish an exception. Theso fishes will re produce, especially tho two kinds mentioned above. Either ono of thoso carps Is an excellent fish, but when the two are cross bred tho result Is of an entirely different nature; the flush Is soft and tasteless and full of small bones. Therefore In Germany nnd other I arts of Europe great caro Is tnken to keep each kind by Itself. It Is raised there extensively. Thero nro carp ponds in Austria comprising 20,000 ncres, anil on account of Its rapid rato of growth nnd Increase It Is considered thero tho most vnlmblo kind, commercially. Hero no such precaution is taken. They nro nllowed to cross-breed promiscuously and an Inferior fish, tho much despised German carp, Is tho result. It Is tho opinion of the writer that tho hybridizing of fishes will never bo crowned with that measure of success as to mako It economically nnd commercially profitable. Thero aro laws of nature which cannot bo Ignored. Tho feasibility of cross-breeding fishes has been established, but the experi ence so far hns not been crowned with that success as to mako it n benefit to mankind. It Is tho theory of tho writer that better results may be obtained nud of greater benefit, If salt wntcr fishes could gradually bo changed Into fresh water species. Thero Is n field which offers fnr greater pros pects of reward, and a greater field for ex periments. What n glorious thing It would bo If wo could go out to our fresh water lakes nnd perhaps bring homo with us a nlco mess of that delicious sole, or other kind, which hnd been nccllmnted to our fresh water without having lost Its flavor? J Tills is only n tneory. nut may ne easily accomplished, but If feasible, It would bo of much greater Importance nnd vnluo for people living nwny from tho seaconst, than tho raising or propogatlng of hybrids.
