THE THISTLE-FOLKS TALK
SHE’S A CUTTEE, AND THE FASTEST
CUTTER ON EARTH
Owner Bell and Designer Watson are
Here— They’re Not Telling How Much
Canvas, or What Kind, She Will
Spread, but There’s no Secret About
Her Hull.
From the New York Sun.
Now we all know about it. The manag
ing owner and the designer of the Thistle,
have arrived and have talked about the fa
mous Scotch cutter freelv. The mystery
that surrounded her in the minds of some of
the yachtsmen has been dispelled, “air bub
bles” and all. She is simply a cutter built
accoi-ding to the ideas of a well known de
signer, untrammelled by any rules of meas
urement whatever. She was simply de
signed to be the fastest possible boat of her
length, and if she is not what she was de
signed to be, it is only because some Yankee
boat is faster.
Among the host of passengers that 1
thronged the decks of the City of Rome, as
she steamed up the lower bay early yester
day morning, was a group who looked about
with far more interest for a sight of a fam
iliar mast and sail than they did at the
green hills of Staten Island, The group in
cluded Mr. and Mrs. James .Bell, Mr.
William Clark, Mr. G. L Watson, Mr. and
Mrs. Coulson, Mrs. Hilliard, Mr. William
York, Mr. Janies Finlayson, ' and
Mr. Thomas Ratsey. Mr.' Bell is,
the managing owner of the Thistle,
and it was in his name that the challenge
for a race for the America’s cup was err
tered. Mr. Watson, who, as Mr. Bell said
•‘is far and away the ablest designer on tie
other side,” was chosen as the designer of
the new boat. Mr. Clark was one of trio
men who helped pay for the boat, and the
rest were friends ot the chief members of
the party. They are all here to see the rice,
and the younger members of the party are
very confident of the Thistle’s success. Mr.
Bell and Mr. Watson are hopeful, but they
are not certain of a victory.
Both Mr. Bell and Mr. Watson are frank,
and when a question is asked about their
boat which they do not wish to answer they
tell why they do not wish to answer. But
the questions which they were unwilling to
answer were such as would be interesting to
the naval architect, but of no consequence
to the general public or even to the ordinary
yachtsman. YVhen asked about the model
of the Thistle Mr. Watson said:
“She is simply a development of the ideas
of what a yacht should he, which I have in
corporated in other yachts I have bujlt.
There is no special form, or device or con
trivance about her —not even any of that
ginger-beer idea. I do not intend to give
away the exact lir.es of her model; if there
was everywhere a community of property
I would be satisfied to see a commonwealth
of brains. Over on our side we do not
share our ideas in such things with one
another. ”
“How about docking her over here? Do
you intend to exclude spectators?”
“Weil [laughing], perhaps we would if
we could, but we don’t think we will try it.
You will be welcome to come and look at
her. We have made no arrangements for
docking her yet. But as to her canvas or
any other matter which would give our op
ponent any advantage we do not wish to
say anything. We cannot alter our hull,
and he cannot alter Volunteer’s, so we do
not care how much you look at ours in or
out of water.”
Mr. Watson did not wish to compare the
Thistle with the Genesta. He said, how
ever, that in the races with the Irex the
Thistle was crowded for all she was worth;
she hail to give a time allowance, and could
not afford to lag or experiment very much.
As to carrying a pilot during the races he
said:
“That is left entirely with Oapt. Barr, but
he is of the opinion that a pilot would only
be in the way. Capt. Barr wants to be in
full charge.”
In speaking of the English efforts to carry
away the cup, he said that when once any
one over there set out to win the cup we
had to have six months’ notice after the
size of the coming boat had been determined
on, and thus had time enough to build a
new defender better than the old ones.
“If we win again you can no longer say
that you have a better oue on the other
side, however The Thistle has shown
herself the best cutter in the world,” was
suggested.
“Yes, she is the best ever built, and you
have got the best sloop ever built. It is is
going to be a great race—a very great
race."
Mr. Watson regretted that it had been re
ported that he had come over here last
summer to examine American models. “I
was not here three months, as reported. I
was here a fortnight. I might have been
in the Now York Yacht Club house two
hours, but no longer, and I was not above
half an hour in their model room.”
Mr. Bell talked still more freely than Mr.
Watson. He was asked how He came to
build such a boat as the Thistle. He said:
“We always believed that we could win
the cup if we built as we ought to do. I
did not think tliat a boat built to win on
our side under our late rule 6 could win over
here. If we were ever to take the cup, it
must be with a good wholesome cutter, not
trammelled by arbitrary rules of measure
ment. We taxed beam; you did not. That
enabled you in your models to get stability
naturally or by breadth of beam. But your
older models were too broad and too shal
low for ns; they wore dangerous and some
times upset and drowned your yachtsmen.
Now, you cannot upset the Thistle, though
you may dismast her. We have built in
the Thistle the best ship we could without
regard to rules of measurement. The draw
ings were ail completed for her before Mr.
Watson sailed for America Inst year. He
came over to study your water and weather,
Ml when he came back he did not want to
alter a line.”
“(s there anything striking or novel in
her model as compared with other cutters i”
“Not at all. You will be astonished, after
all that you have heard about secrecy and
mystery, when you see her. The mystery
was not of our making. We were overrun
with inquiries at, first, and simply to save
interminable labor we declined to answer
any of them. She is simply a cutter of the
proportions that prevailed before the rules
taxing beam were enforced; she is a cutter
developed from those that, were popular ten
years ago. The Volunteer by lowering her
weights is a safer and more powerful sloop
tlma her predecessors, and is far and away
the best model you huve had yet. If, after
seeing the bull of Thistle ill the dock,
;in v nne is curious to know more about her
he can buy her. She will lie for sale as soon
as the race is over, win or lose. Then you
can tear her to pieces if you like. But she
is just as strong ns stoel can make her.”
"Are you a practical sailorman?”
“Yes. I have steered my own yacht in
races. Here (showing where the end of a
finger had been nipped) you see what I lost
in one race.”
"If a good race it was worth that!”
f>h, yes, it was worth a good deal; we
w pn t he race. But I never steered the Thistle.
” e think the man who is to steer her in the
oig race ought to handle the tiller all he can.
I was on the Thistle in all her cares, but ( apt.
Barr steered We got as many races us we
could for him. so that he could learn all
about her. We tailed her for all she was
" orth, too. Mr. Barr is a good one to get
1,1 windward. Any duffer can ateer off the
wind, but it takes a good sailor to work to
windward. ”
“ I here is an impression here that she is
better as a light weather boat.”
"blie is the Isist all-around boat wo could
build. Bha did as well in heavy woollier a*
|n light. We new sailed a race where we
end to take in the topsail, though, of course,
W” did sometime* take in the topsail just to
•• what effort it would have. But we car
ted our topsail when the rest took in
t heirs."
“Moms of our exports think her tmwsprit
tether dander.”
“WU, she lost ft bowsprit once, you
know; hut it was in a tonn where a big
steamer foundered. Idon’t think we will
have any races in wether where she will
dip her bowsprit, Ihe rides very easy.
e raced her in he Thames race in a
nasty chop sea, and he never took a drop
of water on board bho came in as dry as a
fiddle.”
“fn case the \Munteer wins are there
others over ther> who will build another)”
“Another wouJ doubtless lie built. Not
that I would be ikely to have a share in it;
it lakes entirelytoo much of one’s time for
me to engage myself again. But within
two months yd are likely to have a chal
lenge if Thisti loses. lam pleased to hear
that Gen. Pane is likely to lx> our competi
tor. I hope o make his acquaintance. We
know that i'he is our opponent he will get
every inch °ut of his boat that there is in
her, nnd tl*t we shall have a square and sat
isfaetory ace, even if we do lose. I shall
be gratifW to make the acquaintance of
such a yichtsman as he is.”
On Suiday last Mr. Bell, while carrying
some waps across the deck for the ladies of
his pary. was thrown down by a gust of
wind. The fall abraded his loft arm and
erysiwlas set in. He was practically blind
for tje last two days of the voyage. His
phvsHan has ordered him to remain at his
hote, the Fifth Avenue, until Monday.
Whin told that tho Volunteer would be in
thedry dock over Sunday, he said at first
thft he did not care to see her, but after
wtl'd thought better of it. and said he
would go down if he could do so. He in
tends to go on board the Thistle with Mrs.
Jell on Monday and remain some days. He
will probably see the trial races of next
week from the deck of the Thistle.
Com. Smith, of the New York Yacht
Club Regatta Committee, called on Mr.
Bell during tho afternoon. Mr. Bell has the
freedom of t%> club house during his stay.
It has not yet been decided who will repre
sent the New York Yacht Club on board
the Thistly
There is a good deal of talk in the New
York Yacht Club in favor of changing the
starting point for the preliminary and the
international yacht races from Owl’s Head
to Buoy 15, below the Narrows. Although
nothing has been definitely settled, the fact
that adverse currents and fickle winds in
the Narrows often liother tho yachtsmen is
likely to cause the change to be made.
Mr. Bell, Mr. Watson, and the other gen
tlemen of their party were at the New York
Yacht Club house last night. There were a
score or more members present, and the
Scotchmen got a very warm greeting.
A GIRL SNAKE CATCHER.
The Charming Massachusetts Damsel
Who Is a Devotee to Ophiology.
From the Boston Transcript.
She lives in Mailen; she is 17 years old, or
thereabouts, and she is an ophiologist—
that is to say, her specialty is snakes. Very
often, in pleasant summer weather, this
young girl, with hands clad in high buck
gloves and armed with a bottle of chloro
form, lurks about the fens and pools and
thickets watching for snakes, a girl fair to
look upon, sauntering, one might imagine,
with eyes upon the ground, in maiden med
itation, fancy free. She is in maiden medi
tation, indeed, but not fancy free, because
her fancy is bound to snakes and she is
searching intently for somo variety not yet
added to her collection of several hundred.
Presently she stops; with an eager gleam in
her eyes, she croiiehes along a step or two,
her glove-clad right hand drawn back as if
to clutch some object; she springs forward
toward the ground with a swift motion, and
then stands erect with the body of a snake
writhing about her arm in desperate
throes. She has it by the neck and pro
ceeds calmly to thrust its head into the neck
of her bottle of chloroform.
Not niany days ago this young scientist,
after a rather desperate contest, captured
in the fells a blacksnake so large and pow
erful that when it wrapped itself in the mad
grasp of its body about her arm it
strained her cords and muscles so severely
that she was lame for a week. It did not
prevent her, however, from sallying forth
again, and when she happemed to perceive,
at the margin of a pool, a big watersnake
of a variety which she had not secured for
her collection, she lay in wait for it. As
the snake pounced upon a frog she pounced
upon the snake; but the reptile was in his
element and escaped her. Was she to be baf
fled in that way? Not at all. She managed
to anchor a frog in some way upon a stone
at the edge of a pool, at a spot where the
bank was overhung with bushes. Then she
stealthily laid herself flat upon her face un
der the bushes at the brink of the water,
and there she lay in ambush for a long time,
while the snake curiously eyed tho frog. At
last the snake, with sudden resolution, made
bold to seize the frog; but as he did so a
gloved hand, swifter than his own sinuous
motion, dartedfrom the bank, and he was a
prisoner, splashing the water of the pool in
his vain effort to escape. The girl has one
grief—she has not been able to capture with
her own hands a rattlesnake.
Human Nature in Snakes,
From the New York Evening 6>un.
Mr. Mesereau, of Esonu-s, Ulster county,
was introduced to Col. Thomas P. Ochiltree
in the smoking room of the Hoffman House
last Saturday evening, and heal'd the Colo
nel relate some interesting facts about the
snakes of Texas. Esopus is noted for rais
ing big squashes and at.le snake historians.
Mr. Mesereau is one of the latter products,
and has attained his full growth.
When Mr. Ochiltree paused to relight his
cigar Mr.JMesereau said: “I believe some
snakes have human nature and instincts in
their systems, and will prove it to you. One
day not long ago. while I was crossing a
field on my farm, I heal'd a rustling in the
grass. 1 looked and saw something that
made my hair stand up so straight that my
hat fell off my head. Not ten feet away
was a black snake over eight feet long. The
snake looked at me a moment, thrashed the
ground with his tail, cavorted around in a
circle, looked at me again, and then moved
away in the direction I was going.
“I was so paralyzed at what I saw that I
stood still like a balky jackass. The snake
came back, and after going through the
same performance as before he ran away
again.
“ ‘That’s mighty queer,’ says Ito myself.
‘I wonder what ails that snake.’ Again the
snake came back, thrashed and cavorted
around and lookea into my eyes. This time
I had the courage to look more steadily, and
I noticed a sort of appealing look in his
eyes. I followed the reptile, which ran
ahead to show me the way. He led me to a
big log at the end of the field.
“Under that log was the snake’s mate.
He wanted me to extricate him. I lifted
one end of the log, the snake crawled out,
and both of them streaked away.
“The next morning, as I was eating
breakfast, I heard a knock at the door. 1
op -ned the door and there were the two black
snakes. They bad a big fat rabbit and a
pair of partridges. They crawled into the
kitchen, got up on a chair, laid the game on
the table and then left the house. They had
knocked at the door with their tails.
“Now, if you don't call that human na
ture and instinct then I’d like to know what
human nature and instinct are.”
Col. (Ichiltree's cigar hail gone out, and,
as he left the room to get a fresh one, ho
murmured: “I wonder if there is any
chance of salvation for a man who has the
snake habit fastened on him.”

SUMMER DRESSES.
A New Way of Storing Them to Keep
Them Through the Winter.
(Copyrighted.)
New York, Sept. 10. —Already the tinge
of autumn in the air has caused the femi
nine mind to turn from the pretty lawns
nnd mulls, the delicate India silks, grena
dines and elaborate white robes with which
they have made themselves more or less
beautiful all summer to think of heavier
fabrics and fur-trimmed costumes. With
t lie change of season comes the disposal of
the summer's wardrobe. To many this is as
great a care as in the spring is the putting
away and caring for furs and woolens.
Many ladies sell their summer dresses as
soon as they have ceased wearing them and
thus save the care of them, but the price
paid for these articles of clothing by the
“dealers" is so very small that few will
trouble with this mode of disposal, the
wealthiest ladies give their drosses to their
maids, who in turn drive sharp bargains
with those willing to buy. There is a place
of which a friend told me where ladies’
dresses arn exchanged for something else
they may desire; this same lady pointed to
ward three pretty rugs which slio assured me
were exchanged for some of her last winter’s
finery.
The greater proportion of women retain
their drosses at least through two seasons.
To properly care for them requires thought,
trouble and plenty of room, which latter the
New York woman seldom has. She is
obliged to stuff her prettiest gowns into
trunks, to see them noxt year robbed of all
their daintiness, every puff crushed down,
every plait turned the wrong way and the
whole a shabby and discouraging mass,
with which she never again takes any com
fort. No woman likes to bo seen in last
year’s dress, but if last year’s dress can by
care so travel incognito that its identity is
preserved, and no one suspects it of other
than being brand new, the wearer feels as if
she had gained a conquest. If one has a
large dark closet the dresses may come out
as good ns new in the following manner:
Get several yards of common white muslin
sheeting, make loops of tape so that it will
hang evenly all around the closet, then hang
each dress on a hook, the skirt on the lower
part, the waist on • the upper i>art of the
hook, so on around the closet; then double
sheeting up over the dresses. This edge must
also be provided with tape loops, which hold
the sheeting in place entirely over the
clothing so that they hang as in a loose flat
bag. There is nothing to crush them or
destroy their prettiness. The fact of the
compartment eing dark is of importance.
Many colors that become somewhat faded
in the sun resume their former brightness
when placed in the dark for some time.
This is particularly time of blue dresses. I
once saw a blue silk the wearer thought was
ruined by the bright sunlight, which appar
ently had extracted all the color, bearing
only a dullish white. Sorrowfully the dress
was hung in a dark closet: consigned to the
tomb, as it were. A few days later the lady
in question got the dress to show a friend
the sad havoc the sun’s rays had wrought,
when to her surprise the dress looked ex
actly the same as when new. The darkness
had restored the color. She continued to
wear the dress, but always in the evening.
There are a few shades, however, that are
faded by gaslight.
For those who have not sufficient room to
arrange dresses as I have described, a long
wooden box the length of the dress skirt
can be made by any carpenter, and mav be
transformed into an attractive lounge by
placing a mattress u]>ori the top, over which
may be thrown a Turkish rug, or any of the
artistic fabrics so easily procurable; add two
or three sofa pillars, and the effect is a lux
urious piece of furniture If the dresses
are thrown in loosely, not packed as in a
trunk, they will not crumple, or if they do,
but very little, which may be soon removed
by hanging before a window any damp day.
It is most important, either in hanging
dresses or laying them away, never to turn
them wrong side out, as this process injures
the appearance of the drapery more than
any packing. It was the process of our
grandmothers to turn the stiff brocaded
skirts inside out, before replacing them in
the wardrobe, until the next occasion of
festivity. It must be remembered, how
ever, that these antique costumes wore, for
the most part, plain round skirts without
drapery.
In the putting away of wash dresses every
vestige of starch should be removed, and
they should be left unironed. White dresses
of any fabric are improved by placing
sheets of blue tissue paper between the
folds and then wrapping the whole dress in
the same paper.
Sashas should be ripped apart, the ribbon
steamed and rolled over a stiff roll of paper
the same width. Next season they will
look like new. The process should also be
Used in renovating black silk, after it has
been sponged with a solution of ammonia
and water; never iron, but roll over a
wooden or paper roll, while still damp, and
it will come out when used exactly as if
freshly purchased.

The Fate of an Alpine Guide.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
The Coinpagnie Alpine is a branch of the
service of which Italy is justly proud. The
men are chosen from the Alpine townships,
and are a magnificent set of troops, splen
didly trained to their business, which is the
protection of the Italian frontier. In win
ter they are cantoned in the large towns at
the foot of the Alps, Belluno, Conegliano,
Verona; but the summer months they spend
camping out among the mountains, study
ing the lay of the valleys and getting the
various paths across the mountains by heart.
The Captain was with his company at
Agordo, und wished to take his men for a
march round the Falle di Ban Lucano. At
the inn he offered 30 francs for a guide, hut
no one would close with the offer, the diffi
culty of the walk being well known. While
the discussion was going on in came a tall
young fellow, famous for the airs he gave
himself. Hearing what was on foot, he
turned to the Captain and said: “Signor
Capitano, I will take your offer; but, mind,
you, where I go none of your men will fol
low me.’’ This challenge put the Captain on
his mettle. Selecting thirty of his ft est men
he started the next morning with )n j guide.
The young fellow led them up an ip, pur
posely missing the true path, uniir-he and
the thirty-one soldiers behind him were
clinging to the sheer precipices of Kan
Lucano; then he turned and said: “Signor
Capitano, I have missed the way. Tell your
men to go back. I will go on across this
place anil meet you lower down.” The cap
tain, in a rage, gave the order to go bock;
and the soldiers began feeling their way
backwards along the cliff, not daring to
turn round. The guide set off by himself;
but he had not taken two steps when a rock
on which he laid his hold gave way, and he
fell. The soldiers turned pale as death; but
the captain said: “Bergeant, you saw him
fall; go down and fetch him,’’ and the
sergeant did. When he got to the foot of
the cliffs he found the mangled Inxiy of the
guide, whose own words hail come so true:
“Where I go none of your men will follow
me.” ______________
