SI was a rait loaded with all sorts of things from

The last spar to be measured was tho spin-

i Uarrgotn saw nnd took two (nolle off each
end. When nil tho Bpars had been measured
i Mr. Isolln shouted to Mr Duncan to com" on

doak and Messrs. Duncan, Leeds, Thorn, Llp

i; ' the bow of tho boat, A piece of twine was at-
i, i taohed to ono end of tho measuring stick and
;i one end ot this twlno was passed up on tho
! starboard side of tho yacht and the other end
tj on the port side. Capt llarr held one end ami
mate Mlllor the othor, A plumb line had been
dropped over the etem of the yacht, which was
I to mark tho exact place of the forward end of
' the yacht. The measuring stick was pushed
under the bow and those who held the pieces
of twine pulled or loosened them as thev wero
! Instructed by Hyslop until he had tho stick
at tho point under thu bow where tho water
! touched.
Whon he got It In the rleht position he called
on Connell and Herreshoff toseethatlt was
right and then when they were satisfied the
' two went forward to And out at what mark tho
plumb line was pointing. This gavo tho for
1 ward overhang. As soon ns this was decided
5 tlio boat was rowed to the alter end of tho
L yacht and the samu operation repeated.
While this was going on Assistant Con
structor Watts of tho Navy Yard had gone
out In another small boat to watch the
I operation nnd his opinion whs asked
j on tho raeasuiement lie looked at the meas
uring stick' and Ht tlio plumb lino as it hunir
,vr It and overv one seemed to bo satisfied.
i'i'he rules of the N'. . V.( . say that tho water
lino must be marked on tho tides nnd at tho
forward and after end, and Hyslop produced a
, lotllo of red paint, n stenuil and n brush, A
line was painted under the counter and on each
side of the boat about amidships A V-shaped
( innrk w.is put where the water reached on tlio
hide aud another murk was put ot tho bow.
Then the measurei and tho inspectois climbed
on tho deck of the yacht, and when tlio overall
lencth was measure i the water line length
was soon found
Messrs. Isolln and Herreshoff hold a short
consultation ntter looking at the flguie They
wero evidently a surprise to them. The yacht
ns not low enough In the water and her
length was too short A quick order was given
Half a do.on member of the crew jumped into
tho small boit anil were iulckly rowed to the
eldoof the dock and then they ran to thu St.
Michaels, while othoia cot Into tho boat vv Inch
had returned to the Columbia nnd wero suou
followlngthelr shipmates. The men camo back
K again carrying pigs ot lead, which wero taken
B out to the Columbia nnd stowed away below !
H deck. In all thoy brought twenty I Igs that
H weighed elghty-flvn pounds each, making
B 1,700 pounds of lead that was put on board to
B bring the yacht down to her proper bearings.
K Then all the measuring had to be done over
Jj main, nnd It was long after 1 o'clock when tho
H task on the Columbia was ended.
Hf While tho Defender was being mjajured, Hlr
H Thomas Lipton and his friends were interested
M spectators. Tho owner ot the Shamrock said
S that he was satisfied that the races would be
K the most Interesting In the history of the
ft America's Cup, and if the trophy remained
ft here, why, he could challenge again. He would
ft not say positively that he would Issueadofy,
ft hut he Intimated that he would be back next
ft year with abetter boat. "I have never failed
(n anything I have undertaken yet," he snid,
ft j "and I look for success this time."
HK Lord Charles Beresford looked the defending
HY yacht over carefully and seemed to be greatly
HV impressedwithher. lie said:
ft "Tho Columbia Is certainly a beautiful boat,
ft fine Is very symmetrical and her lines aro easy
B and fine. She lias muoU longer overhangs
ft t than the Shamrock, and Is much the prettier
V boat ot the two. I think, though, thnt it the
ft Bhamrock were painted white her appearance
ft would be very rauoh Improved and sho would
not look so big and bulky ns she doos now
ft I Hut you know she is an Irish boat and there Is
& great deal In that green. The Columbia Is
ft -very lightly rigged, but her designer probably
B J knows more about that than I do. Wo are
ft . going to have some very Interesting sport dur-
B . Ing the next few days and we all wish tho best
ft t boat to win,"
V w Ohovalior de Martlno said the Columbia
ft P,ll looked to him like a beautiful woman and ho
ft , '' could not pralfle tho yaoht enough,
ft . As soon as Mr. nyslop got through with tho
H ' Columbia Mr. Isclln and hist friends went to
IV , I tho Ht. Michaels whero they hnd a hurried
lunch, while BlrThomns Lipton nndhlsfrlenda
H boarded the I'lymouth for refreshments. Then
Bj , f-ilr Thomas and Arnold Morley went on
Bj board the Shamrock and preparations were
IB inndo for measuring hor. The Jlrltlshers wer
IB I tathor disappointed at tho long time spent
IB on tho Columbia. They had hoped
Bfl ',' to got through witli tho work early in
H ' tho morning nnd Ii.ih a sail on the
B I Hl-.nmroek alter being towed down to the
H i Hook. When thoy reached the Navy Yard In
K (' tho morning the teprosentntives of tho two
Bft yachts had tossed n coin to seo which boat
Bj ,'l should be put In the measurer's hands llrst.
BH j It-elm had his usual luck and won. Whon t lie
BJ y yacht had beon gono ovor and it was decided
H i to put In s,inie moio lead nnd remeasuro her
H " t there wasnllttlo crumbling foru time, as they
BB said the delay cost them tho little practice that
ft they wnntod.
Hj , I It was liRO o'clock whon tho calston at the
BBJ end of the dock was taken away and the tug
H I, Wallace 11. l'llut parsed a lino to tho Columbia.
J ' Thou tho yaoht Tins slowly pulled out into
H i deep water. Tho Shamrock had been drawn
H ? iislde to make loom for tho defender to pass.
H Tho two yachts weio getting near each other
M nnd for tho first tlmo thero was a chance to
B eompaio the two, hide by side. Tho Columbia
M i. looked moro giaecful, nnd her nveihniigs
H r-eemed to bo much longer. Ilur linos
Hj i-euiueil to be line nnd easy while thsHhamrock
B-Bj iippeaied big and powerful. Tho topmast ot
BBJ tho Columbia towered way abue that of tho
BBB challenger, but tho boom, bowsprit and galTot
BBJ tho latter wore much longer. The coutrast bo-
BBJ tweuu tho sail plans of tho two yachts was
BBJ crcat. It was soon lli.it tho Shamrock, In splto
BBJ of having n'smaller topmast, had a much larger
BBJ sill spread' and tho timid ones began to be

BBJ called lilt, men around him und prop sed threo

cheer for the Bhamrock, They were given
with n will. Then Capt. Hogarth got his crew
together and throe hearty Urltlsh cheors rang
out for the Columbia, Rlr Thomas oheerlng ns
heartily as any one on board and waving his
hat at tho sanio time. The Columbia, after
being pulled well out of tko way of any" other
essel, anchored. When the dock was clear
the Shamrock was warped In and the caisson
closed. Measurer Hyslop, N. O. Herre
shoff and Jesse Connell then went to
work mi the challenger, doing the samo
as had been dono on tho Columbia.
It did not tnkn so long to get through with the
Shamrock, however. Tho spars wero tho llrst
to be Inspected with tho tone, and their meas
urements did not seem to cause any surprise,
Then they got to work on the wator lino tho
crew being massed amldshlp. Thero were
more men on board the Shamrock than on the
Coluinbln, oaoh yucht being allowed threo men
foreery lle feet of racing length or fraction
thereof This elves slxty-thrse men to a boat.
It It is necessary to have that many. The over
hangs of the Shamrock were marked and then
the our-aii length was taken. When Measurer
Hyslop produced his figures. Nat Herreshoff
scanned them carefully toeee that there was
no mlstako. It had been expected that the
Shamrock would bo built up to the limit, like
tho Columbia, and It was a suprlso to all when
It was found tint l'ifo had designed her with
more than two toot to spare.
As soon as the moasuilng hnd been com
pleted the challunctr prepared to go down to
the Hook. The Columbia In tow of the tug
Wallace 11. flint started shortly after .'I o'clock
and she was saluted by all the vessels In the
harbor as she went. The whistle of the Flint
was constantly tooting in acknowledgment ot
the saluts C. Oliver Isolln and N. (1. Heires
liofl waited until Measurer Hyslop's work hail
been finished on tho Shamrock nnd then thoy
followed tho Columbia on tho St. Michaels.
The challenger was floated out of the
dock about 4 o'clock. She took a lino
from tho tug James A Lawrence and
was soon on her way after the Columbia It
v.as4-l.r o'clock when the Shamrock passed
under the llrooklyn Ilrldge, nnd those who
wero eiosslnc In the cars cheered the yacht as
It pasted under The boats in ths river saluted
her, and the pastongers on ferry boats and
crews on stoamors wned enthusiastically to
tho yacht that hat como to try to
"lltt the cup." Tho tender Plymouth followed
the Hhaimock, and Sir Thomas Lipton and
his guests, who wero on board tho Erin, wero
soon taken to the old moorings in the Horse
shoe. Doth racers were safely tit tho Hook be
fore ll o'clock.
Hefore ho left tho Navy Yard C Oliver Isolln
in talking to a reporter of Tin-: Sun said:
"I oTpect to win threo straight races with
the Columbia, and I think that the Shamrock
will be most dangerous In light woatuer."
The yachts will get under way early this
morning, nnd will, it Is expected, do quite a
little sailing before the timo for tho races.
HughC Kelly has been selected as the repre
sentative of tho Ro)al Ulster Yacht Club on
board the Columbia, and II. I'. Llppltt will
look after the Interests of the New York Yacht
Club on the Shamrock.
Measurer Hyslop arrived at tho Now York
aeht Club shortly after (1 o'clock last evonlng.
He hnd roughly flguied the result ot his day's
work, and when he was asked about the figures,
be said "Our boat is the bigger and the Co
lumbia lias to ullow." The club house was full
of yachtsmen, among whom wero ex-Commodore
E M. lirown. J. V. S Oddle. B. Nicholson
H.ine. Cul. Dclancey A. Kane. H. f. Llppltt,
Ernest btnples, Chester (Irliwold. Stephen
l'eabody, Dr J C. llairon. A Van Santvoord
and ninny others. They wanted to ask a few
iiuestlonk, but Hvelop requested them to wait
while ho went ovor Ills figures again When
they were posted thmo was some tall thinking
There was a little betting on the result of tlio
races durinc tho day Out-of-town money was
telegraphed here to be placed on the Columbia.
A few wagers were laid at 10 to S on tho chal
lenger. Ono man bet $.100 to $400 on the Co
lumbia. Oiih or two wagers wero placed at
odds ot $100 to $"."i. The supporters of the
Shamro'-k wanted better odds, which the Co
lumbia men weio not willing to give.
Tho HeiMtta Committee will be on the tug
Luckenhack.and two blc cameras ot a blograph
compjny. each capableof taklngthlrtyplctures
n second, will be In operation on the tug. In
the event of any foul, such as occur. eJ In tho
Defender-Valkyrio races, the camera will bo
turned on and pictures taken as long as tho
committee directs. Pictures will also be made
ot tho start and finish of each race, and the
New York Yacht Club Is to have, by the cour
tesy of a blograph company a mutoscoplc
record ot the races for Its hlttorlc.il archives,
Sir Thomas Lipton has decided to have a
topmast and gnlT made of Oregon pine. They
wero flnlsbed on Sunday. Tho topmast was
originally designed to be sixty-seven feet long,
but after being finished it was shortened five
feet. The new wooden caff is sixty
seven fett long and has two sheaves,
one at each sldo ot the outboard
end. for the peak earing and the club topsail
sheet. These are fitted intoastrap that passes
around the end of the spar. The heel Is fitted
with a brass cap having flangsa thnt run
sovernl feet upward on top and bottom and aro
kept In place by two brass bands
One of the foremost ot the naval constructors
visited Roblns's yard on Saturday and contrived
to get on the floor of thejdry dock, where the
Shamrock was, unnoticed. After looking the
yaoht over he said that while she was undoubt
edly an able boat she did not compare favor
ably with the Columbia, as a piece of work
manship. The lattcr's sides he considered
much smoother
Men ot great technical knowledge around the
vard, however, think that the Shamrock will
come nearer to taking the Cup than any boat
that has ever been sent across the Atlantic.
There is a glowing suspicion that tho yacht
has beon "muzzled" to hide her speed. One
of her crew was heard to say recently to am
English friend, who went to visit him at the
yard, that the Shamrock could beat the Bri
tannia by one hour In a thirty-mile run,
"Then why didn't she do It?" queried the
visitor.
The reply was: "Why should she do It and
give the Americans a line on her speed. Hut
she could do It. nil right."
Tho photographs taken on tho other side all
show the Shamrock kicking up an awful fuss
at tho bow and stern When seon out of the
water thero seemed no qoo.l reason for tho
foam nt tho bow, as thu entry Is easy enough,
even if not quite so flno as that of the Colum
bia. Tho wako ot the Shamrock Is easily enough
accounted for by tho broad counter nnd heavy
quarters. Htlll the experts who have seen
pretty nearly all the competing yachts are rot
satisfied by any means that the Shamrock has
been doing her best In her trials.

How the Hlimnrork nnd Columbia Will Ite
Started tn To-itns Knee,
The main tiling to bo remombored by those
who Intend to witness tho yacht r.teo to-day
is this- The boats will snll fifteen miles to
vvludward or leeward and return, a distance ot
thirty miles. The start will be made from the
Sandy Hook Light, ns near 11 o'clock as
possible, unloss the wind Is blowing from a
direction which no-'essltates moving the start
ing -olnt fuither out to sea, in outer that the
llftirn miles stinlglitnwuv can bo negntlatod
without running o-i the Long Iluud or New
Jerev shores. Hut tlio Light i so situ
ated that unlest the breores come from a point
betwoon noithentt by north and east north
east halt east, n clear course can be sailed In
nny dliee'ion.
Tho llegntta Cunmlttee's tug will anchor
about a furlong from the lightship nt right
angles with tho wind.
It may be. it thu wind holds from the north,
that tho first leg will be to leow.ird. In this
erne the boats will go rushlncovertho line with
splunakeis set. If, however, tho committee
deeiilos to make the first leg a boat against the
wind, the yachts will cross with tho mainsails
hauled close over tho decks. It will then be a
scries ot tacks against thu wind to the mark,
1
fifteen miles away. BeforefTho race begins
oneot tho Regatta Committee's Jogs villi log
off the llftnen miles sailing straight Into the
wind or straight before It. aa tho Committee
may direct.
It has been decided that unless tho race Is
started by V2:'.U) o'clock, the contest will be
postponed until Thursday. This rule was
tnndotn order thnt the boats would have plenty
ot daylight. It tho race I not finished within
five hours and a half, It Vf III not count and must
be sailed over again. ....
The second tiling to be remembered, If you
want to know what's going on. Is to keep your
eve on the Itegatta Committee's boat.
If the plans go through smoothly and tho
wind Is kind tho committee will call tho meet
ing to order nt 10:45 o'clock, by firing n gun on
Its tug At the sometime ii huge red ball will
bo run up between the masts of tho tug and n
blue peter hoisted. This will be the prepsra
tory signal The Hhanuock and Columbia will
then Kjiiiug Into action nnd begin getting In
tho best position thoyeau for the manoeuvres
to follow Ten minutes Inter there will he
a wurnlng signal from the committee bout.
This will bo His sound of another gun und the
hoisting of n second led ball. The racers will
now have five minutes to jockey nbont In an
attempt tn secure tho better berth for crossing
tlio line, five minutes after the warning sig
nal a third gun will be fired nnd Instantly the
two red balls will drop to the deck.
The race will now be practically on. Tho
bouts have two minutes In which to cross the
line nnd if they take moio thiiu that tlmo they
will bo handicapped, or. In other woids, their
time will be taken from tho sound of the start
ing gun At the end of the two mlnutos the
blue peter will bo hauled down andthoraco
will hi-on In earnest,
liofors the preparatory gun Is fired tho
course will be signalled by finis Jrom the com
mittee boat Unlets you have a code book at
hand you probably will not know what the
llacs mean, but the Captain of your excursion
boat will know and ycu may be pretty sure
that he will get as near the sceno ot action at
possible.
'1 here aro elaborate yachting rules to cover
every point which may arise. It tho boats to
day are started promptly at 11 o'clock, and tho
wind la strong, tho race should be finished by
2 :30 o'clock.

.s'lnti'M(i;i, was necossarily wooden In one
leg. His physical peculiarity was. ot course,
the first point la the portrayal to get the atten
tloiiofthoaudlence. Mr Crane's face was this
time ncglectod until his devloj for Imi

Kvcn the applause which always welcomes
Mr. Crane In n new play had to wait a
little till Ids walking gear was lookod at. How
had he done It? Had ho cut off a leg In the
Interest ot art? At least ho had put himself to
Inconvenience It not to torture. His right leg
was bent up at the acutett foaslble anglo from
the knee, and the lower portion was hidden
In the folds ot a clonic, while In Us

and deplored his mulmod condition seriously,
when n soldierly Impulse possessed him.
Tho wooden leg was not obtrusive,
howev er, as might well hav o been feared for It
It was not of either farcical or dramatic
value, but It was au obvious portion of the por
traiture, and In that way qulto legitimate
But Mr. Crane's porformanoo was not wooden,
aside from the leg. On the contrary, his acting
was flexible with gonuino feeling, which had a
considerable range from unctuous humor to
raging choler. and was safely within tho
bounds of those abilities which havo kept this
comodlnn In favor with very many people.
The plnvof "Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of
New Amsterdam," had Leen written Hist by
Brander Matthews, and afterward refash
ioned by Bronson Howard. It wassuflleleotly
historical to have an environment of truth.
Tho time and placo were 1001 nnd
out Island of Manhattan. The British were
conspiring to take the colonial government
uwuy from the Dutch, This political lutrleuo
ran along through the place, nnd provided
some of the action, But the uuthors had kept
In mind tho demand ot audiences for lovers,
and had created four to bo mismatched
by .")tntrf.aiif. That was the scheme .for the
fictional section of thecomody. as the f.'oi emor
was. in fact, n famously obstlnato man, and
as tho actor, had beon excellent In
roles ot mingled wrong head aud
right heart, the rcasonablo calculation had
been thnt hlstoricnl interest might be at
tended by popular diversion. No mistake had
been made In the plan ot the work. A wooer
had not been made of Mr. Crane. Ho did not
have to undertake the, to him. Impotslblo task
of a sentimental courtship. His connection
with ante-nuptial affairs was solely ns an old
fellow who. for political reasons, was deter
mined that two young couples should
not Intermarry as their hearts Inclined
them to. but ns he dictated. All through
lilt misdirected and futllo efforts he
was blind to his mistake, and even misled
the two girls Into jealous misery. There was
first rate comdy In some of thus misunder
standings, and they were tne best entertain
ment thnt the evening nlluided 'i he quintette
of voting sweotheartd wet William IiiKer
boll. William Courtney. Snndol Mll'lken
and Percy llaswell. all comely and agteeable
Thro were two other and more broadly
humorous pairs In William Sampson as a
French wooer of Selene Johnson nnd Thail
Khlno as an Irish wooer of Leila Bion
Kin. Thus It will bo seen that there
was an abundanco ot sexual sentiment
Immediately citrrcmndlnc Mr. Crane, and in
various ways ho was actively mixed up with It
as so mumble meddler and would-l.o con
troller. 'I he piodin-tlon was handsome In cos
tuines and scenery, as well ns carefully

(.eemed appreciative of ills efforts to provide
good entertainment He was called out four
times nt the end of the thhd act. Ho declined
to mak- a Kucech. but Mr Howard spoko bnelly
for Mr. Matthews and himself.
What was said of tho twins who so closely re
sembled each other might be repeated In ref
erence to "My Innocent Boy," which was pro
duced for the first time In this city at tho
Garrick last night. Many farces aievery much
alike, but this one Is more to. Kvery ono line a
liar for Its central character. In this piece the
author. George It. Sims, lied In a reckless
moment devised a new course for his "hero's"
prevarication. His originality stopped there,
however. A man had been married, become a
father and a widower all without his family's
knowledge. His father supposed him
to bo the most Innocent and unso
phisticated being posIbl. This watchful
parent arranges a marriage for his son
with a womau who writes books and locturcs
on truth It should be also mentioned thnt she
has been engaged to her hujhand-olcct's
friend who Is now paying court to that man's
daughter, l'rom these facts nny theitregoer
can tell what ensues Tho "innocent
boy" Is wedded and keeps his wlfo in
Iguornnco ot his former marriage, for no rea
son but to give himself an opportunity to run
In and out of doors, to get locked In a dark
closet with his enraged father, nnd to
jump out ot windows at various in
tervals. All theso things seemed laughable Inst
night moro becauso they were gone through
wit hn snap and go tlnn for nny real comic merit.
It was ono of those pieces that was moderately
amusing and seemed nt every moment just on
tho vergo of being exceptionally funny. It
never got over the medium mark, however,
l'or som-i unaccountable reason Mr Sims bills
his play ns a comedy. It Is n long, long way
from being that. Viewed ns n farce, it Is a
commendalilowork;as a larce, It Is Impossible.
Otis Harlan was Introduced at a "star" last
nleht for tho fliit tlmo. Ho has been that In
the public estimation forsomo years. Ills per

tled his position. Perhnps the sucoosslie made
In "A Day and a Night" Inst year por
suaded Mr. McKeo to put him forward In
"My Innocent Boy " His part In that pleco
was identically tho samo as In this ono. Last
night Mr. Harlan's unctuous noting carried a
farco to success which otheiwlse would prob
ably have met ono of thoso lukewarm receptions
which neither condemns nor prnlsos. I'loience
Lillian Wlckcs was tho young lady who so ad
mired truth. Sho looked beautiful and came
up to the requirements other role. Joseph
Allen played ono of those noisy old men who Is
funny for about (lvo minutes and then begins
tograto on one's nerves Frank Doane was n
really nmuslng friend, who Is tho most In
offenslvo porson posslhlo nnd yet gots blametl
for everything The role was ono of tho best
In the play, and though Mr Doaio was funny,
lie didn't get all that was possible out
of it. Adn Deunes, as usual, gavo nn
admirable character sketch, Bert Young, who
managed to be a boru from start to llulsh,
would do well to study her methods
in characterization. If not her's, then
some one else's, Eight schoolgirls,

rehearsing costume, were p'tiyed by Ilelene
Tuessnrt, llnuile I'orhes. Agnes Vnrs. Trances

Hamilton and Vera de I'otd
When Mr Sims nnmed Ids farce, he probnbly
tried to tnlnl; up n catchy title But as Juliet
said, as she struck artistic attitudes on her
balcony and spoke her thoughts in the most
select I'.iigllsh, "What's in n name?" It
might havu been called "My Ahenr Buy ' or
"Tho Now Boy"liad not those names boon used
forotherfarces. Aces innyenmenndgo.buttlie
subjects of eonile plays will remnln nTw.iya the
same. Compared to the lusting qualities of the
first and only fnico plot known the Sidinlx is a
mere teu-dnv wonder Tho man wlio would

Tho Castle Squaro Opera Company begnn Its
third season ambitiously at tho American
Theatre last night llichard Wagner's popu
lar opera "DIo Meitterslnger" was sung! for
the first time In this country In Knglish. It
will be seen that the organization. In v low of its
means, set almost a reckless task for itself,
judged by the highest standard, It is nntcus-
, tomary, however, to use such tests of thu
achievements over at the American. It Is
enough to expect that the belt use Is made of
tho facilities at hand. Sometimes this
question Is complicated by tho ques
tionable policy of undertaking what
cannot possibly be woll dono. That eloment
could not be kept out of mind In any attempt
to decide what vlow should bo taken of the
pot formance given last night. It was obvious
that llttlo pralso could be given to tho
performance as nn attempt to present
Wagner's opera properly. There was
scarcely n share in tho achievement
thnt could from such a vlow point be consld
urcd. passable. As a cheap-priced production
ot the work, however, it was comparatively
natlslactory If there isu publlo tounjoy "l)lo
Melhtorslnger"in this form, tho oxperlmont
mny tm successful. But as it Is an opera
abounding In difficulties for Its In
terpreters, demanding the most skilful
and finished performance nnd depending for
much of tho claim on these qualities, the
policy of undertaking such a difficult task can
reasonably bo questioned. Muslcianly au
diences will never be Hatlsflled with the re
sults obtained nt the American last night and
the customary public will never lenrn to llko
"DIo Mclsterelnger" any whore.
To consider the performance fiom the least
exacting standards will make it liobslble to
firnisn the Eva ot Yvonne do Trevlllo for Its
ntelllgenconnd simplicity and tocommend her
singing the quintet : to commend the authority
and dignity of Bnrron Berthold as H'ahVrand
the humor Homer Llnd's Heekiiirster. William
Mertens an Hans Savhs was the least compe
tent performer In tho cast. Henry Davlos was
an admirable Darld nnd Marie Mattfeld a con
ventional Maqdaltmx. Tho opera was liberally
cut. tho tempi were strange and the chorus
precise but exaggerative In evory dramatlo
element of Its work. The ochestra was ton
small for effeetfvenets. The company showed
the result ot careful study and training. The
scenery was new and appropriate.

Word was received by the Dominion Line to

ship had nilod with water In such a way as to
give no hope ot recovering the baggage. The
telegram savs the greater part of It was taken
from tho wreck on Wednesday, the day after
the Montfort left, and was put on schooners
and taken to St. John's. Owing to the extreme
list of tho Scotsman ti great part of tne baggage
was untouched by water It will be forwarded

CAPT. CARTER GETS A WRIT.
HABEAS CORPUS OBTAINED FROM

lMiJtiuctlve l'nwer of the Conjunc

Judge V.. Henry Lacombe. of the
United States Circuit Court. issued n
wilt of habeas corpus latt night for
Oberlln M. Cartor. now n prisoner In Cas
tle Williams, Governors Island. The writ
was Issued on petition of Abram J. Hose, of Kel
logg. Hote A- Hmlth. counsel for Carter. Mr,sltoje
had said yesterday afternoon that no applica
tion for a writ would be made on behalf
of Capt. C.v-tor, but late In the afternoon
somothlng occurred to chance his mind Mr.
ltoso went to Governors Island to have his
client sign the petition himself, but It was after
hours, nnd he was obliged to content himself
with sending word to tho prisoner that appli
cation for a writ would bo mado last night.
The petition bets forth the charges on which
Capt. Carter was tried by court-martial, and
thon goes on to sny that he has been Im
prisoned "by virtue of a sentence Imposed on
him by a geneial court-martial, convened by
the President ot tho United States, which sen
tence Is ns follows-
"'And the court does therefore sentence the
accused. Capt. Onerlin M Carter. Corps of I'.n
glneers. U. S. A., to be dismissed from the ser
vice of the United States, to sufTor a fine of
SO.OOU. to bo confined at hard labor -nt
such placo as tho proper authority may
dlroct for five years, and the crime, punish
ment, name and placo of abode of the accused
to be published In the newspapers In and
about tho station and the State from which tho
accused came or where he usually resides.'"
The petition recites thnt the provlslonsof tho
sentence as to dismissal nnd degradation havo
been carried out aud that the imprlsonmont
has begun and says. "Ills provided by Article
t)ot the Article of War. Section VM'2 of the
Itev Ised Statutes of tho United States.that every
person who shall have been convicted of the
offences of which said Carter was found guilty
'shall on conviction thereof bo punished by
line or Imprisonment or by suoh othor punish
ment as n court-martial may adjudge."
"Having suffered the punishment of dls
mlfctsl," the petition continues, "and the de
gradation of tho publication of the crime and
punishment nB itnposod bv said sentence, the
Imprisonment ana detention of said Oberlln
U. Carter Is without nuthorlty of law, and tho
further punishment and detention of the said
Oberlln M. Carter and the carrying out of said
sentence is contrary to law and tho provisions
of the Constitution of the United States of
America and is Illegal."
In other woidt. the law gave the court
martial, says Mr. Hose, tho cholco of
three sepaiate punishments, each of which
barred all the others. The court im
posed all of them: all but tho first,
that of dismissal, are void. Tho violation of
the Constitution alleged consists In punishing
Carter twice for the same offence Mr. Hose
when seeu last night said that ho thought the
writ would bring about the release ot Capt.
The writ Is to be served on Onn. Merrltt and
Capt. Itoberts. the commandant of lort Co
lunibus. to-day, nnd Is returnable at 11 o'clock
to-morrow morning. .,..,
It is expectod that who ' Capt. Carter Is sent
to Fort Leavenworth another prisoner now
confined at Castle William. William S Mer
ilam. who was arrested Inst July on the charge
of larceny, fraudulent enlistment nnd nbxonco
without leave while acting as n clerk ntn re
cruiting station In Philadelphia, will bo sent
with him. Herrlam Mol a watch from n sol
diernt the recruiting ofllee. and wnstrled by a
court-martial at Tort Hamilton in August. He
was sentenced to serve two years at rort

Gen Morrlttwlll probably direct Capt Hob
erts. Post Commander nt Governor's Island, to
detail la commissioned ofllcer. n non-comrals-sloncd
officer and two or three rrlvntes as a
guard forthe two prisoners
It was said vesterdny that Cant. Carter would
probably not wear the distinctive army prison
er's garments until he reached Port Leaven
worth. The usual prisoner's costume consists
of dark brown khaki trousers, n blue shirt and
n block felt bat, on which are at first painted a
number of l"s In red. When the prisoner Is
put on probation or becomes a trusty tho red
letters are changed to white If a prisoner
breaks his parole he Is changed to the third
class ot prisoners nud the lettert. are changod
to yellow.

Capt. Horace Bhallls of the British ship
Montcalm came to Pier A yestorday afternoon
and Informed the sergeant of the steamboat
squad that three of his sailors were In Irons oa
board the ship nnd detorved to be locked up.
Hosnld they had broaohed the cargo and ab
stracted from various cases much flno wins
and whiskey which they had drunk, afterward
creating commotion aboard ship by hilarious
and insubordinate behavior.
The sergeant called Detectlvo Hchaffer and
some polloemen who went to the Montcalm In
a launch nnd brought away the offending mem
bars of tlio crew, who are nil llrltlth subjects.
To-day the men will be turned over to the
