The big parade did not stop work on the Shamrock at the Erie Basin drydock- yesterday, except for a. moment. The crev were busy all day getting the underbody hmooth and clean, and Only stopped while the warships were passing the bay. The men seemed to be impressed with the enthusiasm with which the excursionists greeted Admiral Dewey and the cruiser Olyinpia, and they cheered as the ships went by although they were some distance from the line of the parade. The tug Lawrence took part in the fes tivities and carried the big Shamrock flag which was heartily greeted. The bronze bottom of the challenger Is becoming very clean under the constant work of the burnishing machine. By to morrow night it will be as smooth as it is possible to make any metal. The lead at the bottom of tlie keel received another coat of paint yesterday and it vk 111 be painted again today. The top sides which are made of an alloy of aluminum have leceived the first coat of green. They will be painted again and by tonight it is ex pected the yacht will be ready for floating. There was not much to relieve the monot ony yesterday at the Brooklyn navy yard drydock No. 3, where the yacht Columbia lies bolstered up, until late in the after noon when Captains Hogarth and Wright, and Sailmaker Katsey, of the Shamrock, appeared on the scene and were made ac quainted with Capu Charles Barr, of the America's Cup defender. They were taken on board by Captain Barr and Mate Allen, and went down into the basin to have a good look at the vacht's underbody. When they finished their inspection all they would say was: "She is a fine boat-" Now that the Colum bia and the Shamrock are in the dry dock it is easy to see the diflerence in the two models and make comparisons. It would have been more interesting to yachtsmen if the yachts had been put in the same dock as was done when the Valklrle camo over here, but Colonel Iselin did not want this, and so got permission to nave the Colum bia sent to the navy yard. Sir Thomas Upton suggested that as there was so much interest being taken in the two yachts it would be a tood thing to dock them together and ciiarge a small fee to see them, and the money obtained in this way should be given to tome popu lar charity. The Columbia is regarded by all experts as havinir the better model. Her lines are oaty ana hne, and if she doeh vd win the , ... ..-....-.

On deck the Columbia is at least five feet longer than the challen ger, and both have practically the same water-line length, having been built up to ihe limit, HO liet. The Columbia's balance is easy and the line of the underbody runs almost a straight line to a point under the mast and then in an easy curve to the bottom of the fin. She is cut away more forward vion the Rhnminrl; and the fin of the chal lenger is much longer on top than that of. the defending yacht. On account ot her easy lines it is thought that in light moderate wcathtr the Colum bia will prove to be the better boat, but with the power that her model shows the Shamrock, it is thought, will gall better in a stiff breeze. The approximate dimensions of the two boats are as follows: Columbia. Shamrock. 'on the u .jilt.

The "Times" yacht ing correspondent in New York concurs with other correspondents in stating that if there is hard weather on a majority of the race days the Shamrock will have a fair chance of winning the cup. He says if there are light airs and smooth seas the ad vantages will all be the Columbia s. TENNIS FINALS TODAY. The DiKlrict Cliniiijilonhliip to Be De cided on Monday.

The story that Herman Long wants to go to Chicago, and that his services are de sired by that club is probably a dream. A Boston official has been quoted as saying that Long will play with the Beaneaters as long as he Is able to stay In the business. Merles will probably succeed Bill Lange as centre fielder of the Chicago Club. Lang s retirement from the diamond is condlt!on precedent to his marriage to a i 'FYi hoios 'Frisco heiress. Everybody who has watched Latham's work as an umpire has been impressed with his absolute impartiality. He is honest in his decisions, although not always correct, and cannot be bulldozed by the players. With more experience Lath, will be all right. Some of the magnates are advocating a shorter work day season, and suggest a schedule beginning May 1, and ending Oc tober 15, thus shortening the time fifteen days. This would insure better weather and ample time in which to dissipate glass arms and Charley horse. The idea is a good one. Harry WTeldon thinks the Cincinnati out field next season will be Barrett. Crawford, and McBride. This would certainly be a strong combination, and would mean that KlP Selbach will be put on the baragain counter, and Elmer Smith kept for utility outfielder. John T. Brush will make the play of his life next season to make Cincinnati a pen nant winner- Should he secure the services of McGraw, it will be a step in that direc tion, as he is recruiting his ranks with some star youngsters that will surely make a record. The Chicago push will have to hustle or Louisville will pass them at the wire. Only a small streak of daylight is now between them. " - Frank Hough is 'sa'hl to be wearing his baseball honors with, "a dignity character ized by grace and modesty, Frank Dwyer is not fascinated with his umpirical job and hopes to get back Into the game next season as a pitcher, believ ing that a winter's rest will restore his pitching arm to its tformer usefulness. FOB, A NEW CYCLE PATH. A BanineHH 3Ieetlnf? of the Good Ilomln Asaocintion. Fifteen members of the Good Roads As sociation of the League of American Wheelmen held a meeting at the Ebbitt House last night A- P. Whitaker acted as chairman and Charles E. Wood as sec retary. The secretary reported that the right of way for a-bicycle path around the Stoney and Dalecarlia hills would be com pleted this week, and that a force of la borers would begin work Monday. The treasurer, Clarence Carson, reported that $91 had been collected and that $35 had thus far been expended. The association has issued membership cards and buttons to those who have contributed to the ex penses of the path. Secretary Wood stat ed that the association will parade Mon day evening in honor of Admiral Dewey. The next meeting of the good roads com mittee will be held Thursday evening at the BJggs House. New Dancball Leagnc Prospect. MILWAUKEE, Sept. 30. The prospects or the new baseball league seemed bright er last night than ever before. President H. D. Quinn, of the new American Asso ciation, announced last evening that he had practically completed the western part of the circuit, having, arranged for. the ad mission of Detroit as the fourth city. Two prominent men there have accepted the franchise and will deposit the guarantee bond at once. , President Quinn will leave lor Detroit tomorrow to close the deal. President Quinn also announced" thai he had received word from the Eastern rop- J resentatives that the East end' of the cir- "Your Credit Is $tp.od."

A meeting of the new league will be' called in New York by President Quinn about October 20. GOSSIP OF THE GBLTJUION. Football TcnniH Getting in Slmpc for Kail Gnmex. The Georgetown 'Varsity team will line up for the first time this season against the regular scrub team of the college this aft ernoon. Several of the old players have re turned to the team and their experience of last year will help a great deal to steady the youngsters. Manager L. A. Nicholson, of the Young Men's Christian Association football team, has ordered the suits for the entire eleven and Monday expects to have his team In condition for hard practice. Their schedule has not been arranged ns yet, although ne gotiations are being made for games with all of the local teams. At the Columbian University the students are debating as to the advisability of put ting a team on the gridiron as a number of the men have agreed to play on the Young Men's Christian Association team. Last week a meeting was held to discuss foot ball and it was decided to have a represen tative eleven, but the loss of a number of players has discouraged the prime movers of the football contingency and there is considerable doubt ubout Columbian being represented on the local gridiron. AVondcrful Ilecovery. (From the Philadelphia Inquirer.) A little group had been spinning yarns , in the rotunda of the Walton for an hour or more when a bronze visaged, middle aged -man joined the party. Several of the group recognized him as the captain of one of the big tramp steamers which ply between Philadelphia and foreign ports, and a place in the circle was at once made for him. "We've been killing time telling sto ries," some one explained. "Siippose you turn in your contribution." The captain thought a moment and then smiled. "I was thinking of something that hap pened on my last voyage." he finally said. "We had on board as a cook a big, colored fellow, whose principal companion was a little yellow cur dog. One day while the cook was preparing some beef for dinner he let the heavy cleaver with which he was doing the chopping slip from his grasp. "It fell to the floor with a thud, and the cook emitted a howl of anguish-that was heard all over the ship. The cleaver had struck one of his bare 'feet and sliced the big toe off as neatly as a surgeon could have done it Here was a chance for the yellow dog and he seized.it Mak ing a dive for the severed toe, he swal lowed it in one gulp, and then made a bee line for the deck. "This was more than the cook, crazed with pain, could stand, and he hurled the cleaver at the dog. His aim proved true, and his curship passed out of existence then and there. At this juncture the ship's doctor came up to find out what all the row was about When he learned the truth he laughed. " 'I'll fix that for you, he exclaimed to the cook, 'wait till I get my instrument case.' ' "Within five minutes he had held a post mortem on the dog and recovered the lost toe. Washing It with antiseptics he skillfully stitched it back in place again, and the cook hobbled back to his'"quarter3 minus his dog, but with as nufny. toes as he had ever had. That's about the only story I recall just-nowr-gefltlenven.-It has the merit of being true, however. and if you don't believe it'coirie'tfown to the ship any time and I'll show you .the cleaver. The cook has quit the sea, and I don't know his present .address.," But everybody signified a willingness to accept the captain's word unsupported by further evidence and the next man on the story telling list started in. ' Duplicity of DaelmunilK, (From the London News.) I know a lady who was the happy pos sessor of two Dachshunds. There was one delightful cushioned chair by her fireside reserved to their use. In it was room for both; but it was understood between them that they must occupy It one at a time only. The first in possession was gener ally allowed to remain as long as he, or she, liked. Sometimes,- however, the younger dog grew tired of the comparative discomfort of the hearth rug. He would then "make believe" that there was an enemy outside the window. Springing to his feet, ho would rush, with a growl, across the room, and would then go off into shouts of defiant harking. The old Dachs, startled, would jump out of the chair to see what It was all about; where upon her ungallant junior would wheel around and gain the cozy nook with a run. Etiquette forbade the elder, though de- WHEN IN DOUBT.

Well, one day later that Is, the day before yesterday I saw the pup execute exactly the same maneu vre. There could be no mistake about it. Waldl was haU buried and scooping out the earth with those clever hands of hers from a most seductive burrow. Nello yelled at the top of his voice that the Alps were falling, or thai all the hereditary enemies of Daxies were upon us; the precise, im port I may not have quite caught, but I could not be mistaken as to the tones of rage, fear, and 'surprise (simulated).
