THE GKEAT BILLIABD MATCH AT PARIS.— The result 

 Of the grfeat iutcrnatioual match at Paris between Maurice 

 Vk.i,.;, ehao.pion of Franc,;, and Oeorgc F. Slosson, chant- 



of the noble, game in' this country. Slosson, 'as every one 

 knows who takes an interest in this g-entlematilv sp'eelea of 

 recreation, is a voting American who has several times essayed 

 to wrest the title of champion of the world from Viimuux. 

 who has worn it so long, hut, until this last memorable coir 

 test, was always defeated. In the recent game, however, 

 which proved to be the greatest on record as regards high 

 averages and runs, his victory was complete. The match was 

 1-1,000 points, three ball carrotos. for a Stake Of lO.OtBfrs., under 

 what is called the champion rules. It was played, as all pre- 

 vious great matches of recent date, in France, on a Ctfllehder 

 5x10 standard table of the world. The runs and j pages 

 were higher than those attained in anv game ev r before 

 played, and attest the great supei iorii.V of the Collender 

 tables.

THE KEY TO FAIR MEASUREMENT. 



Chapter the First. 



1. Yacht designing implies the fashioning of mass. 



2. The resulting form is model. 



3. The mass dealt -with limits the qualities of every kind attainable 

 in the model. 



4. The mass employed supplies the possibilities for the embodiment 

 of qualities in the model. 



5. Equal masses afford equal opportunities for the attainment of 

 qualities. 



(i. Unequal masses do not. 



7. Hence logical conclusions as to the value of form can only bo drawn 

 from comparative tests of the same mass put into different shapes. 

 Or from different masses reduced to equality in respect to mass by a 

 proper allowance from the larger to the smaller. 



8. A given mass is entirely without specified form. 



9. Taxing mass is therefore not taking the particular shape which it 

 has assumed in a certain model, but the amount contained in the 

 model and that only. 



10. Equal facilities in mass granted for the production qualities, it is 

 manifestly inequable to assess differences in the forms chosen. No just 

 cause for an assessment exists. 



11. To tax such differences, as for example, differences in length, in 

 beam, in depth, in any two or hi any three of them, or in any features 

 whatsoever of the model, is an exhibition of prejudice against certain 

 peculiarities of form. 



12. No fair rule of measurement shotdd exhibit prejudice against or 

 favor for any form at all. 



13. Rules having bulk as their prime foundation comply with the 

 above in every respect. 



11. No evasion of bulk rules is possible except at an actual reduction 

 in the possible capacities attainable, corresponding to the reduction 

 effected in the mass. 



Chapter the Second. 



A. Taxing the model in any directions or for any of the peculiarities 

 in the distribution of its mass is saddling tho talent displayed in giving 

 it shape with an un justifiable weight. 



B. It is giving a bonus to an equal mass seeking by special shape to 

 evade the directions or peculiarities taxed. 



C. All measurement rules hi dieting penalties upon shape must end 

 in the prevalence of a protected type the least affected by the rule, all 

 others being legislated to the wall, 



J). Free modeling becomes impossible under a rule taxing shape hi 

 any manner. 



E. An evasion of rules taxing shape is possible without an actual 

 reduction in the mass and the qualities obtainable ^herefrom, thus 

 discriminating against a model in which for good i«ason no such 

 evasion has been sought by an uncalled for and unjust exaction of 

 "time." As examples the efforts witnessed in the fleet to overreach 

 one another by the stunting of length and expansion in heam. Or the 

 squeezing of beam and a stretching of depth. Or the shriveling of dis- 

 placement and the bloating of hotly above water, according to tho 

 direction or feature most heavily levied upon; the mass being never- 

 theless made to do duty in places tho least affected by the propensities 

 of the rule in force. 



F. No rules taxing shape can comply with the axioms set forth in 

 Chapter the First. They are thoreforo faulty in conception and as a 

 sequence unfair iu their application as well as misleading in then 

 effect upon tho estimate of value attaching to various forms.
