NEW YORK, Aprll, 2,-Many accountB
purporting to givo tho dbrrect llnos and
deocrlbo tho form of tho now cup do
fieDder, Rellance, now bulldlng at tho
HerroBhofta' yard, In Brlatol, U. I., havo
beon prlnted, but thoy havo all been very
wldn of the mark.
ln form, tho new boat la a scow. Bo,
far aa. iher dcadrlso la concerned, aho.ia
fully os much of tho scow typb na lhe
Independence, and, strangely enough, thls
form has been carrled Into tho forward
overhang. In' tho hull propor all of tho
?pced characterlstlca of the center-board
boat havo been lncorporated, wlth the
. beam of the koel boat, and at the samo
tlme there ls the deep keel of the keel
typn. Tho lateral plant has been cut
nway to tho last degroo, so that tho koel
la nothlng moro than the pcrmanent cen?
ter-board.
LONGEST YET..
Tho length over all ls 143 feet flve Inchea,
or thereabouts?longer than any other cup
defender over bullt. Tho draft of Uio
ncw boat'may be a Httlo lesa than that
of the ConstlUttlon, but tho dlffcrenco la
bo Bllght that it could not be detccted by
slmply looking her over, whllo her beam
1* about twenty-flvo feet ten inchea, or
abotit one foot moro than the Conatitutlon.
Tha deck will not bo of Btecl, as ln tho
ca.se of tho Constltution, but will be of
Blumlnum, threo-olghtha of an inch thlck.
Thls will bo covered wlth cork, as waa
tho Columbla'a.
The klng'' plank and.the water-wayB will
bo ateel.
TakJhg at tbe leaat calculation bIx
Inchoa from tha frea-board, aa comparad
wlth the Conatitutlon, and llghtening tho
framca and decking. means a proportlon
nte reductlon of many tons.ln displace
ment. The boat has harder bilges and
flattor doors than any prevlous Herres
hoft cup Ccfender. whlch means natural
etablllty-tre atabillty of form.

A Ploa for the Negro
Edltor of Tho Tlmes-Dlapatoh:
?gjr|_Through c'ourtesy of a frlend, Tho
Tlmea-Dlspatch has for severnl daya
found its welcomo way lnto my homo,
and proves a eourco of much interest.
I regret, howevor, that I cannot mpre
fully concur ln the aontlment repcatedly
oxpreased relatlve to tho raco questlon.
Napoleon, who was a phllOBophor and
statesman aa woll as Boldlor, sald on an
occasloni "Ono hostilo nowspaper can do
moro harm to a cause than a thousand
bayonots." It la ovldont to every un
prejudlced reader that tho newapapers,
especlally of tho South, are hostlle to tho
negro, Whether Justly or unjustly so I
will not now venturo an oplnlon, but lt
seoms never tho less n fact, If tho negro
constltuto tho mnjor part of tho porplox
lng raoo questlon?If, indeed, he ls sololy
and ontlrely the cause of tho exlstence of
such a questlon, and ln conaequonce all
of the . nowapnporB conoentrate tholr
forcea and make a "defenalvo" oharge,
there would bo a moro deatruotlva hoat
after the negro to-day than waa after
"Grant" ln 1SQ5.
I am thoroughly convlnced that tno
wlly, prejudlolng rant that bllghta tho
oolumna of mnny a nowapapor ln the,
South, both whlte nnd colored, doea more
harm by a thouaand-fold than good. It
ought to bo, moro than ever beforo, tho
sacred ofllco of the preaa to mark wlth
oqulty tho llno of rlght betwoon man
and man, lncllnlng nclthor to tho one nor
to tho othor. That popor whlch falls to
do thla must bo friondly to tho one and
hoattlo to tho othor, and capablo of dolng
"hlm moro harm than a thousand b.ayo
neta."
Tho nogro la horo wlth us, nnd whethor
ho remalna la for ua to say; but so long
as wo forbcar to order thnt ho shall not
romaln, It la our inevitnble duty to ro
gard hlm wlth nll posslblo conatderatlon
nnd oomlty, for through thla botter than
through any other way do wo ostabllsh
our auporlorlty. If tho negro la boast
ful and Ignorant, lot ua plty and edu

Immoral, let ua unlfy our offbrts to ele

who would hnvo fllled ofllces wlth toler
able oredlt, they havo dollghted to sup?
port whlta man for no othor ronaon than
that whlta mon wera moro compotont.
It aeamed platwlble to hopo that such
a course would not only Beeuro to the
governmontH, botli Stata nnd natlonal,
mon of Buparlor Utnoss, but would alao
court a more wholesome relatlonshlp. boV-\
tween tho two races, who seem'to have'
been thrown togother by tho uncrrlnaj
hnnd of provldenco and destlnod bo ta .
remaln,
Thnt our liopes havo been ln a meas*
uro renlljted. cannot bo aucceaafully conj >'
tradloted, but lt ls equally true that aucljy
relntlonahlp haa beon nolther ao-rlch In ,:
longovlty nor so clenvlng ln tenaclty . aa.,
was the hopo of the more thoughtful ot .,-';
both races. If our nntlclpatlona have not
been more thoroughliy reallzedl, whera' .
rests tho responslblllty? Have we dona .;
anythlng to allenato the negro's frlend-;. .

ln our crltlclsms? Have we in anyway, .
nt nny tlme, or under any clrcumstances,

as repelllng n more cordlal rolationsnlp?
If our edltors enn securo tho snnctlon,,

uloco, North and Bouth nllke. can untte?;,,
