New York simply gots up on her hind — 1038 I d-yotis for tiiii, Evervbody expected Yale to win; but what a time sho had of it! For two years the New Haven teams have met and aefeated all comers without allow- ing & poiut to be scorad against them. Last year Yale had in many ways a star eleven, but this year thoro was nothing but careful traipiog and skilful coaching, and great in- deed must be the team that can exceed the record mado by the men who defeated Princeton, Princeton did much to loso tho game before sho began it She won the 10ss, but chose the west goal and let Yale take the pall, No worse move for Princeton and no better one for Yale could possibly be made. It would soom as though Princeton should not have forgotven what-happened to Harvard a year ago at Springfield, when Yalo started off with the oall and McClung plunged through the players for a touch down before they fully realized that the game had begun. When Yale gets to start off in a game with the ball 1t gladdens the hearts of all her supporters, for they know what 1t means, Sluggers Who Wenr Gloves, Now that the slugging mutch par excel- lence of the year has beon fought and won, the man with o knowledge of things pugilis- tic turns bis thoughts to the mill next Mon- day nightat Coney Island between Greg- gains and Costello, The fight will be an ex- oeedingly hurd one, for both men aro going in for their preparatory work for all they are worth, Costelio 18 now at “Widow” O'Brien’s cosy house at Coney Island, rignt handy to the Corey Island club house.

Ho has wind d brawn, 1f ne can only staud tho vlows of the “*Buffalo.” QGreggains has a clear record of winning fights. The only time he failed to land first jmoney was in his battlo with his prospective Antagooist, with whom he fought fifty rounds of terrific slugging, ending in & draw. Greggains was the victor in forty-nine con- tosts during his wmateur carecr, and tho slashing ho gave La Blanche, McCarthy and Turnor in the professional ranks stamps nim as a crackerjuck in the middle.weight class, Should ne prove the better man next Monday night he will find lots of eastern onoy to vack him ina fight with Hall or "itzsimmons. “Bufl” Costello has but one defeat marked down against him, That occurred when he tought Frank P, Slavin on the turf in Aus- tralis, and 1t is & well known fact that in two other meetings on the voards Costello roved himself the better boxer.

IMPROVING OCEAN TRAVEL Sohemo to Hitoh Nine £hirs in Ono and Rovolutioniss the Business, PLANS DRAWN FOR A MONSTER STEAMER Seven Englnes and Seven Pairs of Paddie Wheels tho Propelling Power of n Combination Craft 1,440 Feet Long. roposed as The large stoamers that are being built will probably mark the limit to profitable advance insizo aud sprod with the pres- ont model of Atlantic passenger steawors. Greater speed nocessitatos eroater length, breadth, depth and draught. The limit of draught suitavle for harbors will soon be reached. Moreover, the incrcase of ton- nage, propolung power and cost is ot a much higher ratio than tnat of the pas- senger capacity. Ton years ago §ib0,- 000 was about the cost of tho largo ships; thon the cost rapidiy advanced with the rivalry 1 speed, till now the cost 2,000,000, and the latest Cunarders will cost half a million more, while those of tho Whito Star line will bo at least §,000,000. T'ho passenger area of a 700-foot steamor is not much greater than that of ona of 80 feot, and the spead only about two knots faster. An engraving printed in the Scien- tifio American illustrates a new design for an Atlantic passenger steamer in which groatly increased longth is secured without nroportionat increaso of draght and bea. ‘The proposition is o construct & system of nine hulls of special model connected ia thireo trains of three hulls oach, the center train being the principal part of tho eraft and extending 225 feet forward and 200 foet baft the other two trains, the whoie form- )¢ un outline similar to that of an ordinary stip. The total length would be 1,440 feot: breadth over threo trains, 142 feet; 10 outside floats, 180 feet; miaship draught of center tran, 1S feet; 'midship beaw at water line, 45 foot: midship boam at main deck, 60 foet: midsight draught of outer trains, 12 foet; midship beam at water line, 27 foet ; midship beam at muin deck, 85 feet; displacement of center train, 15,000 tons; of outer teains oach, 5,250 tons; total displace- ment about 26,000 tons. The propelling power woula consist of seven engines, three in ceuter trawn of 10,000 horse power each; two in forward sactions of outer trains, 4,000 cucki; two. in stern sections, 6 a totat’ of 50,000 horse power soven pairs of paddle whoels of dinmeter, 6 und 8 foet wide, having adip of 8§ feet. Detn This steamer would carry no cargo, and owing to the system of construction, would .require no ballast, so that the entire ton- nage capacity would be s ailable for en- gines and fucl. She would bo intended for only first and second class passengers and huve accommodation for 2,000, The sections would be held in position by a system of flexible connectors. consisting of massive steel transverse girders ten fect deep, having rocker ends bearing ugainst up: dghts connecting tho upper and lower aecks. The ends of the rockers would bear ngainst a series of heavy haif-elliptic springs, having o flexible atrength of fiity and seventy-five tonseach, Tnesesprings would extend aiong the upver and lower decks, and would stiffen und check the motion of the rockers. A strong wire cable would ve fastened in tho end of the rocker, then pass over o roiler secured in the upper deck, thence down under a similar roller in the lower dock and counect with the other end of the rocker. A second cable would be fastenea to the inner siae of the soring, pass around tue roller aud connect with the rocker so a3 te act reciprocally. The beamns councoting with tho erders would be braced transversely and rvn dingonaily - throughout -the. sections. Tho longitudinal conneators of tho sections would bo a singlo massive coupler in_conter of oach scction, placed on a level with the center of the lateral conmectors and twelve foot above the water line, The longitudinal frames of tho sectious would converge at the point of conuection. The coupler and the frames diverging from it would of course nave to bo of immenso strength-and capable of sustaining a strain of 1,000 or 2,000 tous. Tho space between the 'ends of the connecting hulls would gradually widon from the connector down to tho - keel plate, whore it would e about five or six feet on a level keel, which woula admit of o depression of the 'stom of the center train of 120 feet. would be oceupied by a metal and rubber water-tight chamber that would ex- paud and compress with the vertical motion of the ends of tho hulls and preveat the water from filling in. There woula be hinged to the bottom of the forward section sliding plates that would cxtond under the bottom of the adjoining section, thus formiog av even and contiou- ous bottom from stem o stern of each train. Thirty: It is ostunated that 5,000 tous of steel would be used in the construction of the connectors and in the strengthening of the parts of the sections where the groatest strain would occur. The hulls would ve entirely of steel, it Is thought that a steamer of this design could be built sufti- ciently strong to withstand & much greater strain thap she would ever encounter in the waves of the Atiantic, The design would admit of the different sections conforming lo the angle eiovation of any sizo of wayes she would meet without strain- iog, The steel iloats on the outside might retard the speed a knot or two, but thoy are not a necessary part of the plan and may be aetached. They furnish berths for four or five hundred of tue crow, uf€o held to stoady the outer trans and would be useful for fendors. Ttis probosed to use paddie wheels for the propelling medium. Of conrso three, four or five screws could be used at the stern, but would nov bo so suitable for the high speed as tho paddles, which, work- ing in protected water and having o' diame- tor of fifty-six feot, with engines to drive them at thirty-five revolutions, should make about thirty-five koots. To muny, , it may seem impossiblo to control the motion of such heavy strue tures in @ seawsy. As a matier of fact thero is only one motion in & seaway that is nov proventable, and that is the vertical motion, which it 18 not necassurv to control, The system of connection allows play room for that to a wuch greater extent than is neces- sary, Thetendency. however, 1n a steamor of this design would be to lessen it. It is the lateral motion that could be easily diminished or provented The proposed steamer would have accom- modation for 4,000 passengers, givine @ greater nutaber of cubic feet for éach passen gor than the present steamers, aud, as it would carry no freight, would remain a shorter tima in vort. 5o that, at the speed that would be attaincd, she would average about one trip o weok, or forty during & season of nine months. Carrving 100 000 passengers @t present ratcs for correspouding class ~of accommo- dation, 80,000 first class would pay 000; 50,000 second clas: 0,000 total, 0,600,000 which ought to pay a very baui some dividena aiter paying operating ex- penses. 1t will be seen from tiie abovo figures that a steamer as described could carn lmmenso profits at one-nalf the present rales, A £,000,000 hotel, with accommodation for 1,000 fruests, at ¥5 per day, would pay well, Fhore1s 0o teason why a steamship costing #5.000,000 with room for 4,000 should not puy better at the sawe rate: Tinmig 2 New Yous, Nov., !
