The Shamrock , now In mid-ocean on Its
. . . -way ovojito cohlpctd for'tho.Amerlca ' cup , Is
" "
oVer-dovclopment In yacht buld- |
Ifac. tVhon'tW builders heard of the lines
ofHho Columbia they realized that the chal
lenger'had to bo'bullt on an extraordinary
plan and such a ono an Tfould give encour
agement that Us construction would enable
11'to win In the corqlng race.
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. 'wllj
"as'slst ' In causing Its defeat.
"You have asked mo At' a iblcyclo trip
through the Yellowstone National park Is
practicable , andtin reply I say that It the
opinion of the Omaha quartet which has just
completed a tour of the park on wheels

if sufficient slzo to holi | the Grand American
landlcap' , some Chicago men ; bedded by Mr ,
3. L. Rice , Masonic temple , have' formed a
ilan that , If carried out , will bring this
; rootcst of all shooting events to the west ,
where It belongs.
About forty acresof enclosed grounds ,

log 'kennels ' , a second ; finally , the grounds
ihould bo so laid out as to accommodate not
MS than flvo sets of the most Improved
raps to top had , , . .
' ' "
The pla'n "Is to have abo-ut 100 charier
members , and ajso tlo'havo ( arranged that
all western ahopters can become members
arid bo entitled "to certain1 privileges , the
extent to bo determined by1 those finally
chosen * to irianago the 'association's aftajrs.

five squads of live bird shots to be shooting

* 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.

Besides the big trotting meet , given by the
Nutwood Driving club , l u Houseman has
arranged a big 'flste | carnival for three
nlgtits that will attract the lovera of that
sport from all over the country. The card
finally decided upon Is as follows ;
August 29 Jack flooj , against George
Byera for the middleweight championship of
I tie -west' , orbes Vgalp'st Sufficld. , for the
championship of the west. ' .
Augusf ? 0 Tommy White against Eddy
Bantry or the 126-pound championship of
the worjd. Jack Lowls agalnbf Young Ken
ny for the lightweight championship 'of1 ' the
west.
August 31 Tommy flyan agajnst Jack
Moffat for the , welterweight championship
of tlo ) world. George Kerwln against James
Sellers for the lightweight championship of
Iowa ,
All the contests will be twenty rounds ,
two each night , with George Slier as referee.
The men are al ) In active training , and as
rtl ! are veil matched some good contest !
may be expected.
The prcepects of a .match . between Kid
McCoy and Flti-lmmons are still remote ,
ritzslmmons is under the Impresilon that he
Is n show man , land hns Investdd a goodly
portion of the recent JcTrlM-Fllz ( lmmona
purfc In a theatrical enterprlte' ' la Chicago :
with his brother-in-law , Martlri Julian.
The mraln of a sipge of tralnlngjis ! begin
ning to iell on Ilofaert of the Irfty forehead ,
and he Is anxious to retire from the 'rlog ,
unlcra p. n rot I es are held but to him In the
shape of a snap or limited-round contests ,
with fighters of the lobster class.
Bob Kltzulmmons Is | n hard luck lust now ,
for the elbow of his right arm , which he
spllptcrrd last spring , sparring with Yank
Kenny out west , la giving- him trouble and
ho will have to .submit to a surgical opera
tion in < he hope that It will benefit the
Injury. There was a time,1 not so long
ago , either' ' when such an Injury would
have been regarded as Incurable , but emr-
gery has made giant atr'ldoe In the last
ten years nnd it .may bd'that the skill of
the surgeon may restore Flti'g. Inmewing
to Its'former usefulness. If It does there
Is a chance that he and Jeffries may meet
ngan. | Another fight between 'them ' would
draw a tremoudoua house , but few think
KHz will be able to defeat the big fol
low. He has Bob gauged , and besides next
time he , and not Fltr , .wlll"havo the confi
dence which g-oes far toward achieving vic
tory.
Jeffries was weft received on his arrival
In England. He Is not making the fatal
mistake of carousing * or being offensive 'In
his Americanism. The big fello-w Is In
fine health and can bo depended' on to give
a good account of himself.

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.

IntrreiitlnR Comment on the lleccnt
Internnilnifnl MAicli ni AVlnnliirR
Omnlin'Wnpnlrly * .Siiocc-nlnl.
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.
Next Saturday the KarisAs City cricketers
Will oppose the homesters on the Emmett
street grounds. * The game wilt commence at
10:30 : a. m. nnd continue until C:30 : p. m. ,
with an Interval for lunch ,
U" Is hoped that a good crowd of ladles and
their friends will be present. No admission

Pitcher Hahn has won eight out of his last
nine games for the Cincinnati.
Joe" 0'uinn 'bas npt 'made an error In his

more ground than an automobile with a de

speed , ' but In wobbling- sees ten or fifteen
feet more than Is necessary.
One of the most remarkable achievements
of the season and one that shows the hap-
penlne of 'the ' unexaected Irf base ball Is
Washington's record' against Chicago , In
winning eight out of ten games.
Th6' number of double plays In last Sun

Chicago 'made' five In * the first and one-in
th.e seqond and Cleveland ' one In the first
and two In the second. besides losinc 'the
