Unusual lightness , especially above the water line , was required , and this was at tained to a great extent by the substitution of alloyed aluminum In place of copper and bronze. But , being the challenger , the rules o { tho'contest aro" < tbatt \ Aiust be raced in American waters , and thus the stormy At- Innt-ic 'hadHo bo crossed and , being built ( is light as possible , Its weakness had to n'a HtrcnRthcricd by artificial means tempo rarily 'for' the trip" There Is a febllng tWrt * th'o Shamrock Is not a , real yacht , for a 1 yacht 'Is 4 stanch , Beagolng' vessel' , nnd the Shamrock docs not appear to bo such. The fact that It h-as to be accompanied across the ocean and towed In strong -weather has created considerable controversy , but the Now York Yacht 'club has waived objections on this scoro. Th.o Columbia Is seaworthy jn any sda. Competition" for the cup has * been to a , great extent a test of the merits o { the ' , . 'different plans'of construction quite as much as"of methods of .sailing" arid 'manipulation. The American yacht haa always been broad add flat-bottomed , with a deep centcrboard dr "fln. " This type was needed by our shallow - low waters. The English typo was originally ' of deep draught and narrow. The American style was admittedly the swiftest In quiet seas and with light Winds. The Engljsh typo wag imoro satisfactory1 In heavy seas and strong winds. Therefore , the weather and the sea1 provalljng at thd tjme of the race were of "tho'T rcatest importance In "deter mining the result. 1 Tho-'English have greatly modified their original- model * frbm the deep draught .and . - doe-p-hull , u.ntl | now , fho Shamrock Is built ' gen'o'raljy ori the American1 model.1 ' ' Yachtsmen will derive the gratification of . knowing from the ' Shamrock's' exploits , " " wpaibvor'tticy- sh&iT-bcl"bowlfar theoretical dlleUatatelsni can be' ' made to succeed in practical -test's. Some"of the English yachts men -have trie greatest confidence that 'tho. ' Shamrock's 'construction ' j'nsures its winning , while others 'apprehensive that' tt.

" ' ' * Mr.n'lllcowould bo pleased to hear from all -western sporUiden who"ah > at all' Idler * cstcd In this scheme , as the promptness with which ho'recelves ' replies will Influence the promoters largely In' ' this undertaking.- ' * The Pan-'Amerlcah jixpos'.tjon ' , which will > e held nt Buffalo durin ; the 'summer months of , 1001 , Is to add n new feature that will -be of especial Interest to all full- blooded men" Who love strength , skill and daring. The Idea Is simply to have as ono > f the ch'lef ' features of 'the' great fal'r'on ntornatlonal carnival of sports and for hcso games a vast sum of money will be spent , 'os'the plan provides for the bonsiruc- lon of 'a Roman stadium or race 'course. The preliminary plot 'plan of the grounds , which 'has beori sub'mltted by the advisory > oard of architects , and which was promptly tcceptcd by the- executive committed and .ho director of' ' works , shows that this stad- um .will bo one'of.the''gfeaf ' ; features of the grounds. The1 building , which will be'con'- itructed In conncctlon-wlth the Administra tion-building , will bo'a ' trifle 'over 1,200 feet n 'length' ' by half as many ' 'In ' Width , 'thus ' covering the vast floor 'space ' of over 720000 ; square feet. Within that great enclosure the manage- mdnt' of the exposition Intends to 'gather during' the progress of the fair the greatest athletes "from " every country In the world and for rich purses and prizes let them tom- pete In feats 'of strength , speed , 'skill and daring. 'Tho ' Olympian games held at Athens a couple of years ago were 'fair ' and the teats Between the college men of this and the mother country Ip England a fortnight "pack were not bad/ but ItIs. . the desire of the management of the ' exposition to arrange a carnival for lOOl'that shall bo so Infinitely greater In every" way than any that have ep rar been held that al ) others will be forgot ten.

The trotting horse worlo ] lost probably its strongest prop by the recent qeafh of Bobert Bonner. For forty od'd "years the great , breeder was at the front of the sport and his sensational purchases of'recordbreakers went a long way toward keeping the genera ] public interested in the steppers. Money was no object when a rare performer became known-and the stock farm aVTarrytown has seen more valuable pieces of horseflesh than any other in America. Mr. Bonner's' first known purchase was that of 1859 , when he paid $9,000 for Lantern and Light , a rare price for a team In those days. The following year be bought Lady Palmer and Pcerlew. for $10,000 , while In 1861 , he secured Flatbueh Maid and Lady Woodruff for $0,500. Then followed , three years later , the purchase of Pocabontoa for $40,000 , a stupendous prices 'for ' a piece of horseflesh , which startled the trotting hone world. Auburn Horse was the next purchase the followlng'year , Mr ; Bonner paying $13,000 for htm. htm.Dexter Dexter became the champion in 18G7 and Mr. Donncr , with his customary disregard for price In considering homsflerti , bftught the great trotter for $35,006. Bruno , Joe Elliott , Startle , Edward Kvcrett And Mambrlno Bertie followed Pcxfer to the Bonner stable , the five costing $76,000. $ During the ' 70'g Mr. Bonner bought Ada Duroc , Lady Stout , Prince Impefjal , Oration , Molsey , Music , Wellwly Boy1 , Walton , Malice and Manetta , a 'loam ; Erjc , John Toylor , May Bird , Maud Macey , Ceiltcnnl.il , Lady Cuyler. ' Edwin Forrest and nofus , paying $200,000 for trot ting stock during the decade. John Taylor and Harus cost $35,000 and $36,000 $ re spectively. There was ft decline In tie } sport during the early ' 80's , but In 1834 Maud 8. and Jay Eye See came to the front. Mr. Bonner selected Maud S. for his stud and paid $40,000 , for the grand mare. ' SUnol followed In 1889 , the price , $41,000 , being the highest ever paid for a trotting Mftre. Mr : Bonner'ft purchases during the last ten years were few , probabry because of the few real champions that ap peared. Ho paid $8,000 $ for Ansel and last year secured Praytcll for $5,100. During the forty years" that he bred horses , Mr. Bonner paid over $500,000 for famous trotting stock. It IB doubtful If the farm at Tarrytown will bo continued by his ons.

There Is.llttlo . use crying over what might have been' , but our correspondent nt the late tournament cannot help thinking that had the team -originally chosen to represent Omaha gone * to.Wlnntpeg , the local athletes would by this time bo proud possessors of the cricket championship of the northwest. Ken ofho Lcnnon , Vaughan and Taylor caliber wore sadly missed and It was most unortunalo' ? ! that' ' the substitutes secured across the line quite failed to play up .to their reputation. However , the team as con ? etltuted came out of the fray with flying colors and' with the slightest shade of luck should have occupied premier position In the championship tables. " "it was In'a sense unfortunate that the team should run up against the noted Chicago cage eleven on ithclr Initial Introduction tea a "crass" wicket. 'This same wicket , by the way , was about the worst the * ' writer has played on. 'and Counsel , ' the 'crack eastern bowler , whoso deliveries corap from a great height , Besides -being unplayable ; > vas pos itively dangerous , and It was a wonder that no ono was badly hurt. Every ball , that did not take a wicket found some vulnerable portion ofthe anatomy and the actual fear of 'life and llmb accounts 'In a great' measure for the comparative failure of our men 'In tho'c-'pchilng-malch Of the tournament. Cam eron was the only man to roach double fig ures but then this player con bat equally well with brio hand as with two , and this gave him Immense advantage over his col leagues , for he was enabled toward off those deliveries which threatened ' 'his "solar plexus. " ' 'In the second innlncs Robinson gave nn exhlbltlon'of his tremendous hitting powers and"rattled - up''fifty In very short order. The match -with "tha" team representing the full strength of 'Manitoba ' was a most cxcU- 'Ing one 'from ata'ft to' finish arid thanks to the parHallty of an umpire the Omaha men just Ipst on the post : ' atoblhson's perfor mance in taking six wickets for only eight of bowling runs was a magnificent exposition ing tactics and 'will go down In 'history as one of the greatest feats In western rlcket. But for Reynolds and Douglas the Omaha team woifld have" made but a poor showing iri their first Innings. These two batsmen went In first , and playing the really splendid - ' ' confidence set' an bowling -'with 'the utmost ; example whldh ; alas , 'the ' succeeding players wore unable to follow. 'However , thanks to R"oblnson's"trundllng 'and ' the splendid field ing of the Americans ; the Manltobans had ' only a lead ol'two runs o'n the' first Innings. Tho'second" Innings was a replica of the first , Came'ron , Robinson and Nealebeing the only meli to ake any stand against1 the deadly bowling with six wickets dc-wn for twenty- sixIt looked as It < he Mahltribans were In fcr a thrashing , but the mighty awlper Megget , who WM ever a thorn" In' the side of the'Ylsltlng ' players , came to "the rescue of his side and with the 'aid ofLewis , and Mr. Extra In the shape of Jten byes 'placed the issue beyond doubt.Amid a 'scene"of ' grearexcltcment the Manltdbanb barety won by six runs.- The Omaha players were con gratulated on all sides for ihe "plucky " fight' they bad put up against their doUghly op ponents , ' for the side' opposed t6' them was practically the International team that op posed the fun strength of iho- combined American teams later on In the week. * ' The' Omaha 'team 'was now' ' getting Into Its stride , and' thtf "wickets becoming truer , It went offer Us old-tlm'e rival -Minnesota In great Btyle arid never leaving the issue In doubt , Wn In oWnter , beating the men from the twin cities by more runs than any other team iri the tournament. 'It is quite within the bounds possibility ' that bad the -local te'aW been abla to stay over' dhptber week ana"meel their opponents 'a second time th'ey Would hayo b'een"able 'to reverse 'prevlbus decisions , but as It was they h'ad no reason to be ashamed of their performances. ' Jn the 'Minnesota ' match Tuflleld showed his true ' form , and should most certainly b'ave found a place on 'tlie ' international team. Sims , too , was beginning to get on his feet11 and , would have 'made a" better representative than ether | Curry or Qod'wln unfortunately fo'r him , ' ho had" Mttto of no opportunity of showing what he could do as ' a trundler against first-class batfl , bis performance tie- ( rig limited to'a couple 'of overs In the second end Innjng's of Chicago. Neale was ever a b'rllllarit field and he did not belle his reputation during ( he week. His batting " average suffered by the forsak- lri $ of his us'iia ] s'tyle , and striking a cau tious vein which , while more correct from a ' cricketer's 'point of view , hardly stood hjm fn such good stead AS his old-time rapid scoring. Capfaln Francis had his men well In bant ] , and wo doubt- whether any other member of the team could have piloted the team so suc cessfully. Seldom , It ever , have we had the pleasure of witnessing such an-exciting match as the luternatlbrial game between the two coun- lrlcs rroni etart to finish the match was ; full of exciting incidents , and'at tno finish , vhcn the Americans won on the post , the j > ceno * - 8 one not likely to be forgotten by those who wcro'pes'ent4 Next year the tournament wlH take place In Chicago , when the Americans wl'll have on opportunity of paying back , the great debt wo owe to our cousin * Across the line.
