As the caller belongs to the sex which has never produced a great epic poem, discovered a continent or voted for the Governor of Illinois, she gave up the problem with a cheerful meekness born of centuries of acknowledge incapacity. Mr. Brightside having finished boring, produced a bent wire and fece of string, one end of which was fastened to a few feet of rope. With the wire he proceeded to insert the-string into one hole and wiggle it out at another By means of the string the rope was then towed into position, the whole Process ending triumphantly in another pair of handics. ‘But whi are you doing it for?’ He rd Srna exph fa the lates “The only trouble with me,” id Mr. irrelevance, Brightside, with apparent Ba that for lazy. “But what on top of the prairie are ou making trunks out of packing es for?

Prof. Meyer in Charge. To take charge of the undertaking “The Evening World” bas secured th: nervices of Prof. Carl Meyer, the well known aeronaut, who supplte Dyrenforth and the Department of Agri- culture with hydrogen balloons for the famous experiments in rainmaking that were carried on by the Government in Texas two years ago. Prof. Moyer lives at Frankfort, a little village in the central part of the State, near Uth where he has what he calls his “balloon farm." It was not until three days ago that “The Evening World” was able to con municate with him, but even at suc short notice ho has been enabled to make his preparations. te last night all the apparatus nec- essary for the ascension arrived in this city over the Wert Shore road. It filled & whole freight car, and was sent in @ hurry in response to a telegram sent by Prot. Meyer to his manager at the Franfort balloon farm the evening be fore. ‘There are three balloons, so as to be prepared for any emergency; one capable of making an ascension with two per xons, and having «a capacity of about 12,000 cubic feet of gas, A second with a capacity of 6,000 cubic feet and a third of 8,00) cuble fort, the two latter be able to carry but’ one passen Smallest to Be Used.

The painters, carpenters, sailmakers and others worked on board all night. | A gang of divera came on board intend- Ing to get to work acraping the bottom and to examine the harbor for rocks or} other possible obstructions likely to dam- age the big yacht, Up to noon the divers were still at work.

Perkins, died recently on board of her, is coming up this afternoon from Fort Monroe, and the ten men neces- ry to make up the Vigilant’s crew will probably be borrowed from her. Vigtlant’s club-topsall has been re- paired by Mr. Sawyer, and will be used in the race to-morrow. The yacht will leave the Atlantic Yacht Club this afternoon and go to Sandy Hook, where she will remain at anchor with Defender all night. A new suit of head sails is being made and will probably be finished in time for to- morrow's race. A spare club topsail will be taken aboard and the Herreshoff mainsail 1s being cut over.

Course No. 2.—From the starting line ten miles to and around a mark, thence ten miles to and around a second mark, thence ten miles to the finish line, turn- ing the marks on the outside of the triangle to port or starboard, according ax the yachts are sent around.

Her deck was covered with sail cloth at which a crowd of white-clad men were busily at work, Mr. E. A.

CAPT. HANK NAEP The active member of the synilicate, Mr, C. O, Iselin, Who manages Defende is one of the most skilful yachtsme of which the country can boast. He has devoted almost his entire time to the new boat of late, aiding Capt. Haff in jhis countless tasks of looking after the sails and rigging, with @ spirit that fe most certain to secure the best ef- forts of Defender's skipper and crew, The latter very important portion of the whole fabric ts a novelty, inasmuch as all are Americans from Deer Island, Me., and have proven to be a remarka- jin place and a few stater 1 American skill bly active and Intelligent body of men. It is not likely this season, when a spinnaker is hoisted on Defender, that there will be the valuable loss of time such as occurred whenever that m: noeuvre was performed on Vigilant in the last Cup races, English racing crews are almost ins v better dvtiled then aura en many fear for the same exhibition of| shortcomings in this respect. Mr. Iselin and Capt, Haff feel otherwise, The most remarkable feature of the many on the new Herreshoff creation is the extent to which weight has been | reduced, not only in the hull, but also aloft; and yet, withal, not a particle of strength has been sacrificed, The plating below the water line, of Man- Banese bronze, gives wonderful strength, weight where it Is needed and a surface capable of a polish of the highest de- gree. Her top-sides of aluminum combine the requisite strength with a lghtness heretofore unthought of. Up aloft the Docks, always before this a source of great anxiety on account of thelr welkht and their frequent breaking down, are, on this craft, marvels of strength and lgitness. They have been tested up to a strain far beyond anything, that thypavill be likely to en- dur 5 0.
