Shoals That Beset the Course of the 2 Newspaper Man. From Punch. The celebrity awaited bis interviewer with some impatience. He had arranged his story with considerable care. He was prepared to show that he. was the best of boys at school, the most studious of stu- dents at the university, the worthiest of men at all times. He felt sure that when the record of his life was published, prepa- rations would be made to erect a statue and a glass window in his honor. And so he was satisfled. In due course the interviewer appeared. ‘The man was bland and persuasive. He requested the celebrity to take a chair and then placed his hand upon his brow. The eelebrity gazed into the eyes of his visitor with a lack luster stare and then seem- ingly sank into a heavy sleep. “And now I am prepared to begin,” mur- mured the interviewer, taking out his note- book. “My worthy sir. I command you to tell me all. Mark you well—all.” And then the celebrity, In a monotonous tone, revealed the secrets of the past. The celebrity was furious. The inter- view had appeared, and was far too true ih the story of its subject's life to be pleas- ant. There was no assertion that the celeb- rity had been the best of boys at school, the most studious of students at the uni- Yersity, the worthicst of men at all times. ©n the contrary, the celebrity had “come out” in rather unflattering colors. So that eminent man was simply furious. He had sent for his interviewer, and awaited once his arrival with impatience. In due se his biographer turned up. And, now, sir,” said the celebrity, trembling with anger, “what do you by suggesting that I tried as a child slaughter my maiden aunt?” Did you?” was the calm rejoinder. “That is beside the question. And why @id you assert that I had told you that I never did a day’s work at the university?” “But you did say so—didn’t you?’ “Again beside the question. And what did you mean by stating that I had de- serted my wife and turned my children out of doors at a moment's notice?” ‘But were those statements true or un- tru That you have not received a writ for libel Is my answer, But how came you to know these unpleasant details—who told you?” ‘ou did.* I did! When, where and how?” “When I saw you here, and at my re- quest.”” “I do not understan‘! you,’ murmured the puzzled celebrity. “Why should I tell yeu all this?” Then came the explanation. “You told me all I wanted,” replied the Interviewer, “because I am a hynotist?” “Indeed!” returned the celebrity when he had recovered from his astonishment; and then, after a moment of deep consid- eration, he gave his visitor the names and addresses of the more hated of his rivals. +o+—___ The Exchange Minister's Prayer.

FOULING OF THE DEFENDER BY THE VALKYRIE BEFORE GOING OVER THE LINE. WHOSE THE FAULT? Fouling of the Valkyrie and the Defender. CAPT. HAFF VERY MUCH WROUGHT UP Declares That Capt. Cranfield Be- came Rattled. MR. ISELIN RETICENT The fouling of Valkyrie and Defender at the start in yesterday’s race was the fea- ture of the contest, and is ascribed by many as the cause of Defender’s defeat. To describe the accident briefly, In maneu- vering for the start the Valkyrie's steel boom caught the Deferder’s forerigging just as the boats were about to break away across the line for the windward beat of the triangle, and the backstay of the topmast was carried away. The pres- sure and strain resulting caused the jib topsail shéet to part and the topmast to become “sprung,” and it was only by quick work in taking the strong wind out of the club topsail that the topmast was saved at all. The jaws of the starboard spreader were also carried away. The Defender at once claimed a foul on the part of the Valkyrie and raised a flag of protest. The yacht continued in the race, however, and last right the regatta committee consid- ered the arguments and merits of the case. The Protest Filed. After Defender had come to anchor off Bay Ridge last night, Mr. Iselin, the head of the Defender syndicate, went aboard the committee boat, where he possibly filed sa! From the New York World. Defender to set a baby jib topsail after rounding the first buoy. The second leg was expected to try the nerves of those who had set their hearts on victory for the cup Defender, for her little jib topsail looked like a speck compared with the great bellying balloon jib topsail set by Valkyrie, which was drawing tre- mendously. But the second ten miles was @ veritable victory for the Yankee. She gained slowly, but ske gained steadily, and turning the second mark not far behind her rival, she now had a better chance by long odds to win than a few miles back in the journey. It cheered anxious hearts on the floating city, for it is no exaggeration that ninety-nine-hundredths of those afloat were Defender men from first to last. Only one other boat finished closer to the winner than did Defender yesterday, and that was Valkyrie II in her race with Vig- flant in '93, when forty seconds only sepa- rated the racers.

NEW YORK, September 11.—The unfor- tunate accident in the second of the races = 00°08 COLLISION. DIAGRAM OF COURSE OF BOATS BEFORE AND AFTER THE COLLISION. his protest with the members of the re- gatta committee. “T have nothing to say,” said Mr. Iselin, after his return from the Luckenback, when seen by a reporter aboard the steam yacht Necker. ‘The matter js in the hands of the regatta committee, which will de- cide as to our protest.” Mr. Iselin stated that the regatta committee would not make public thefr decision until tomorrow. Nat Herreschoff, Defender’s designer, was seen by a reporter about Defender after the race. He was asked to explain just how the accident had occurred. “You saw how it all happened,” sald Mr. Herreschoff. “It was a pity, because Defender was in excellent trim otherwise. Defender’s topmast shroud caught in Val- kyrie’s boom and carried away the end of .he starboard spreader, which fs made of brass. It also sprung the topmast a little above the masthead.” Capt. Hafl Worked Up. Captain Haff was very much wrought up on account of the accident. “You know this matter has been referred to the committee,” he said, “and I can’t talk about {t.”” “Did you shout for room?” was asked. “Room? Man alive,” sald Capt. Haff, waving his arms in the air, ‘why should I shout for room when there was no neces- sity. There was plenty of room. He delib- erately kept on when there was no occa- sion for this at all, and he had plenty of room. We were heading exactly for the lightship when she swung off. Mr. Iselin told me to keep her right straight, and we 3 We were then at the lower end of the 1. . He was not satisfied to have a clear course. He was following me all the time. I wanted to keep away irom him, but ae would follow me right up. Why, it was just like he did on Saturday. He bore me square off. We had the lightship to steer by. The whole thing amounts to this: He got so close to us that he got rattled. That bolt on the end of his boom caught our topmast shroud. It was all a piece of fool- ishness on his part.” Capt. Cranfield's View. Capt. Cranfield sald that Valkyrie was not to blame for the foul. ‘When Defender came up under our lee she got becalmed,” said he, “and she righted up to an even keel so that her sails touched ours aloft. Our mainboom catching her backstay was purely an accident. It could not have been avoided.” “Supposing the protest 1s sustained and the committee awards the race to Defen- der, what will be done then?” Capt. Cran- field was asked. “Lord Dunraven will probably go back to England and race no more." “What if it Is not allowed?” “Oh, that'll be all right.” The Point in Dispute. Both boats were on the starboard tack at the time of the accident, so both claimed that they had the right of way. It was a question among the experts who were look- ing on whether Defender was at that mo- ment the overhauling boat. If she had been, it was, according to rules, her place to give way. The fine point came in the discussions of the sharps whether Defen- der, who had been blanketed, and who had then fallen back in speed because of her luff, was the overhauling vessel. A New Sail Set. During the progress of the first few miles sufficient repairs were made to enable the for the America’s cup between Defender and Valkyrie III, by which Defender was crippled just before the start yesterday, was the general topic of conversation to- day among yachtsmen, at the hotels, in the trains and in the streets. Scores of people called at the New York Yacht Club house on Madison avenue to inquire about the decision of the committee on Defend- er’s protest, and all were told that the re- gatta committee were discussing the mat- ter, and that no decision would be render- ed until evening, owing to the impossibil- ity of hearing witnesses as early as the committee would like. Defender and Valkyrie were towed to the Erie basin early this mcrning, and tho sailors on each went to work scrubbing the shining underbodies as fast as the water receded. Defender's injured spar was taken out at the south end of the dock where she lay, and a force of men at once got to work to fit another topmast. The one damaged yesterday was seen to have a great section split off at the point where the topsail strained {t. This was just clear of the top of the mainmast, and it show- ed how great had been the strain and how sturdy was the stick to stand it so well. The crack went part way through it, but the toughness of the pine kept it ‘from parting, and even allowed the use of the jib tcy sall on the third leg of yesterday's race, Time would not allow ihe making and fitting of a new one, so the stick used by Colonia two years ago was pressed into service. It was not so heavy as the dam- one and looks to be hardly as good in quality, but that may be because It is more weather-beaten and now dressed and varnished. It was brought from Poillon’s yard this morning. The damaged spreader was also taken out. Its outboard end appeared just as if it had been bitten or gnawed off. After Valkyrie’s hull had been scrubbed from bobstay to rudder post, her men went to work with chamois leather to make a sod Job better, ‘apt. Cranfield stood on the overhan, with the Royal Yacht Squadron flag wave ing about him, discussing the incident of yesterday with two cronies, but nothing could tempt him to shore to talk for pub- lication. ‘The conditions are favorable for fair weather with a fresh salling breeze from a southwesterly quarter for tomorrow's yacht race, according to the local bureau, TONE OF LONDON PAPERS. Gencral Disinclination to Accept Vic- tory as the Result of Accident. LONDON, September 11.—With- one ex- ception, the London evening press today exhibit a generous and sportsmanlike spirit in commenting upon the outcome of the second race of the series between Valkyrie JII and Defender for the America’s cup, and ali express the wish that the race be not given to Valkyrie III on a mere techni- callty or as the result of an accident. The same spirit characterizes the talk among yachtsmen. Fear is expressed that the excellent showing made by Defender in her crippled condition has practically set- tled the contest against the British yacht. Much talk is heard today of new yachts to be built to meet Defender if the Ameri- can syndicate’s boat should come over here, and to challenge fer the America’s cup. In addition to the cutter which is to be built for the Prince of Wales, it 1s reported that Lord Rosebery is likely to build a yacht, and a rich Scotch syndicate is also ready to enter the lists. The Sun this evening says: ‘There is so very little true sportsmanlike feeling in America that yesterday's cheering of the winner is charming.” The Evening News says: ‘Englishmen cannot stomach victory tainted with unfair ccnditions, and would rather see Valkyrie return home without a single race than fly- ing a flag unfairly earned.” The Star says: “Neither Lord Dunraven nor any other Englishman would wish to receive an advantage by a mishap. From yesterday's race it seems clear that we cannot gain the cup this year.” The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon says: “If Defender was put at-a disadvan- tege by the accident, we shall find little sat- isfaction if the decision favors Valkyrie.” The St. James Gazette, in its article on the yacht race, observes: “It is a good thing that the race was not sailed here, as it might be difficult to persuade Americans that it was a mere accident. If Defender was on a port tack, the invariable rule that port-tack vessels give way was not fol- lowed.”” The morning papers also generally com- mented upon the contest,and expresgions of regret at the fouling of Defender are com- mon to nearly all of them. The Graphic says: “As sportsmen, we wish that Valkyrie’s victory had been gained without the unfortunate accident at the start. It ts a possibility approaching probability that however slight was the damage that Defender sustained, it was sufficient to affect the result.” The Daily Telegraph comments: “Whether the fault of the collision lay with the Eng- lish or the American vessel, one thing at least seems certain; that Defender was the chief sufferer. We do not envy the com- mittee their task of deciding the anxiously controverted issue. But one thing we are fortunately sare of; whichever the verdict ig against the respective owners are suffi- cient sportsmen to do what the honor of their country demands. Neither side has the least desire to win etherwise than on merits.” A writer in the Daily News says: ‘The distance between the yachts at the finish was all too Little to enable us to treat the regrettable collision by. which Defender suffered as a thing of no. consequence. The Standerd says of.the races: “The races which have been sailed throw litle light upon the respective. merits of the rival craft, and the final result is as open as it was before they met. It was unfor- tunate that the foul occurred, but happily it did not affect the regult. Inasmuch us Defender was on the port tack no doubt remains upon that point, as a vessel upon the port tack always hag to give way.” The Chronicle says of the race: ‘We can- not consider it a clear win, and it will al- ways be open to the Americans to say that it was not a fair win; and we are sure that Lord Dunraven would rather sail it over again than to have that believed by the western world. Line for line, despite the accident, Defender showed herself to be the faster boat.” The Times, in its comments on the race, says: “Everybody will deeply regret the ac- cident, whatever be the technicalities of the matter. The accounts seem to show that Defender sailed m a more or less crippled condition. The victory, therefore, {f awarded, will not be one upon which we can look with sattsfaction. If no mishap had occurred, the situation would have been almost {deal from the standpoint of all who love sport. What we would all wish would be to Be thé Tefain! Hany won alternately, and the whole contest de- elded by a neck-and-neck finish in conse- quence. This disposition on both sides is only an example, as applied to sports, of that inborn generosity and love of fair play which come down to both nations alike from common ancestors. Englishmen wish to see Lord Dunraven bring the cup, but the last thing they would desire would be to see it gained by a technicality. This sentiment, we are sure, is fully understood and sympathized with by Americans.” WHEELMEN AT SPRINGFIELD. Every Cyclist of Note is on Hand at the Tournament.

The Eureka Athletic Club gave its pa- trong an unusually interesting fistic enter- tainment last evening. Two rattling bouts Were pulled off, which for cleverness and gameness have never been excelled in any VERY BOUTS. similar event in this vicinity. The first was a twenty-round affdir between those old- time rivals, Tody Banks and Aleck Brown, and was intended as a settlement of the much disputed question as to which is the better man from a pugilistic standpoint. This result was not accomplished, how- ever, inasmuch as, after they had slugged and punched each other with, varying suc- cess for twenty rounds of the hardest kini of fighting, the referee, Mr. Duffy, said that there was so little difference in the work of the two men that he was com- Pelled to declare the fight a draw, a de- cision that met with general approval on the part of every one except who vigorously protested that he had not been fairly treated. The next fight was between two imported welter weights, Jack Hanley of Philadel- phia and Frank Wongo of Norfolk, known as “the Indian.” It was the finest exhibi- tion of all-around scientific fighting that has ever been witnessed in this city, and it is seldom that two such clever, plucky fighters come together in the ring. They were scheduled to box twenty-five rounds, kut the bout did not last quite that long, Wongo giving up at the close of the twenty-third round, on the ground that his wrist was broken. Hanley is a hard and skillful fighter, and was in tiptop condition. He set a rapid pace and forced the fighting throughout, but frequently had good cause to regret his ambitious designs to settle the affair with a grand rush and a series of blows. Wongo showed great skill and wonderful recuperative powers. His defense was al- most perfect, and his strong, quick coun- ters were yery damaging in their effect. The sympathy of the crowd was with him because of his plucky uphill fight, and gave him frequent shouts of encouragement. Several times during the engagement he nearly succumbed to the rapid shower of trip-hammer blows received on body and head, but freshened up remarkably under the skillful treatment of his handlers, and always returned to the scratch in good shape. He had received only five days’ no- tice of the fight, and had not had sufficient time to get into proper condition. Other- wise, in the opinion of many spectators, it is not likely that Hanley would have been able to make him quit. As it was, Hanley had clearly the best of the fight, and was justly entitled to the de- ¢ision. During the evening it was announced that matches had been arranged between Hanley and Jack Daily of Wilmington, be- tween John Henry Bronson of Philadelphia and Howard Wilson of this city, and be- tween Joe Bateman and Tody Banks, both of this city. BOB AFTER THE PROFITS. Cares More for the Money in the Fight Than *he Championship. CHICAGO, September 11.—The Inter- Ocean this merning prints a story in which it is said that Fitzsimmons declared that he will refuse to meet Champion Corbett in Dallas unless he is “let in" cn certain concessions on which ne believes a large sum of money will be realized. It is said that he accuses Brady, Corbett, Joe Vendig and Stewart of Dallas with gobbling up everything in sight, from the lemonade stand to, the kinetcscope, with which it is intended ‘o reproduce the fight throughout the country. The latter concession Bob is especially jealous of, and it is said that he has made a formal demand for a percent- age of the profits on it, otherwise he de- clares there will be.no fight. SOMETHING NEW IN BOWLING. A Noiseless Alley Now in Use in New York. A noiseless bowling alley ts the latest thing for bowlers to wonder at. A compo- sition, brown in color, which looks very much like rubber, has been glued on the wooden strips. It is about a quarter of an inch thick. Along the gutters are strips of wood to hold the composition tight. It covers the entire alley. Two bowling spheres covered with rub- ber and a set of pins which are also ar- ranged in the same manner are used. At the base of each pin a layer of leather about half an inch deep 1s applied. Several crack players have already tried the alley and rolled up high scores. From the time the ball leaves the player’s hands until the pin boy throws it into the incline not a sound is heard. This will hardly be relished by the bowlers or spectators, however. The rumble of the ball as it giides down the polished wood, and the loud noise that fol- lows when the sphere meets the pins, seem to add a charm to the game. YALE MIGHT RACE OXFORD. Possibility of Another International Contest. SIOUX CITY, Iowa, September 11.—Ralph E. Treadway, captain of the Yale ‘varsity crew, left last night for the east to take up his last year’s labor at Yale. Treadway says that as ro races are acheduled this year with Harvard or other crews, It is not improbable that the victorfous Yate trew will contest with Oxford crew either at heme or abroad. The possibility of a race with Oxford is what hastened Treadway's departure, he having receiced a telegram stating that a race with Oxford would probably be arranged, and he goes east to go into training.

One of the features of the parade of the Grand Army of the Republic at Louisville today was the old war horse Ned. He is not a member of the G.A.R., but of recent years he has been pretty regular in his attendance at encampments. He was at Pittsburg last year with Post No. 67, from Erle, Pa. The long march through the streets was too much for him, and he almost gave up the ghost after it was over. Out of respect to his declining years, Ned was carried on a float. Ned is now forty years old. 5 Ned was captured from Gen. ‘Jubal Early’s corps near Washington by a Union Old Ned. scouting party thirty-two years ago, and was given to his present owner, F. Crawford of North East, Pa., to re- lace and animal he had loaned and which d been shot in a skirmish. At the close of the war Mr. Crawford left Washington on Ned’s back. He first went to Harris- burg, and there Mr. Crawford grew tired of riding and bought a road cart, which Ned pulled from Harrisburg to North East. Sirce Ned has retired from active lif five years ago, he has been a conspicuous figure at parades and celebrations of all kinds, his greatest hobby being Decoration day parades. He has never missed but one Decoration day parade at his home, and that was the last one. In parades of all sorts Ned insists on marching next to the music. He will take no back seat. Marching has become such a habit that he has no trouble now in keeping time with the music. Ned is 8 posed to be the only living horse that served in the war of the rebellion, the last ons of his comrades having been Bill Mosby, who died last March at a ripe old age. —+o+—____ CHAPIN AUXILIARY, W.

The Sentences Given for Various Ofe d How They Were Received, fenses There was a motley collection of chare acters gathered in Judge Kimball's palace of justice this morning. Some were charged, under the District laws with reference to vagrancy. Some were arrested for dis- orderly corduct, come for assaults, and fo;me for other minO® violations of the pub- le peace. Among the first to line up to have thelr cases passed upon were three colored girls, charged with vagrancy. According to the story of the policeman who made the ar- rest, they were hangers-on about the Sol« diers’ Home, and were women of evil life. Lawyer Sillers made a hard fight for them, in on effort to prove that the evidence did not sustain the charge. The girls said tl they were on their way to Terra Cotta, ar stopped on their way to rest in the woods near the Soldiers’ Home. They denied that they were “vags,” though one of them ad- mitted that she had been arrested three or four times for fighting. Lawyer Sillers’ client had to give $20 bonds, while the others were let off on their personal bonds. Jolin Williams, a young colored man, pleaded guilty to “cursing and swearing.” He was fined $5. He said he only had $3, and if he “went down” he would lose his job. In view of this fact, the judge re- duced the fine to his limit. He gave up all he had for the privilege of being profane, SRS oe court a free man. le Italian boy was then turned over to the board of children’s guardians. It appeared that his parents are in Pennsyl- vania, but the father has recently lost his limbs and is unable to care for him. He bas been living with his brother in this city, but the latter is also poor, and no longer in a position to take care of him. A Janitor Under a Cloud. A young mulatto girl named Annie Ellis was then called to the dock. Last night a little after 12 o'clock Policemen Gibson and Holmes heard a noise in the Central High School, and made an investigation, which rue in finding the Ellis girl in the fe- maie teachers’ room. A man was tl me pales away. ein ccording to Annie’s story, she was in- vited to come into the building by Coleman, the colored janitor. She did not Want to go, because it was so late, but she was finally induced to enter the building. ere was no evidence that Annie was a Vagrant, so Judge Kimball let her go; but he said that Coleman was not a fit man to, be a servant of the District, and suggested that the whole matter ought to be called to the attention of the Commissioners. George E. Burrill, a colored driver for an Anacostia grocer, was charged with dump- ing some ashes in Buchanan street. Po- liceman Reagan testified that at the end of the street there is a ravine twenty feet deep, which has long been used for dump- ing purposes. In his opinion the place ought to be used for dumping, as it would end in filling up the hollow. Inspector Beaumont stated that the Com- missioners had refused to make it a publia dumping ground and It is a decided nuisance. This was ir the nature of a test case, made at the request of the health office, and the judge took the boy’s personal bonds, and said that in his opinion a placard ought to be put up fo ding dumping at that point. A Long Spree. Charles Dickerson, an elderly white man, for whom the cup has too much charm, was up as a vag. The policeman stated that he had been on a long spree, which lasted for eight days, and ended up last night in an attack of delirlam tremens. He was given ten days, with the understanding that he would be sent to the hospital until he straightens out. Henry Thornton was charged with loud and boisterous behavior outside of a colored church, where an entertainment was in pregress. The affair was not a very bad one anyhow, and the judge put some re- lMarce on Henry’s statement that he never uses bad language, and dismissed the case. Game of Pool. Last evening Edward Gibson and John Jennings had a game of pool for 5 cents & side. That started the trouble, which came ecsily, as there had been some beer in the crowd. The result was that Gibson got hit on the head with a pool cue and received such a bad cut that he had to go to the Emergency Hospital to have it sewed u Jepnipgs stgted that he wag en employe in the shop where the game was played, and not @ player. Gibson was too drunk to have known who hit him. A half dozen eclcred boys, who were in the pool shop, testified that Jennings was not the man who struck the blow, and the case against him was dismissed. Case Dismissed. Stanton Tayler, a young white boy, was charged with indccent exposure, and also with the use of very improper language. The complaining witness was a white woman named Rosie Robie. She stated that Taylor came to her house last Tues- day, and because she would not let him in acted in @ most indecent manner. re you a married woman?” asked Taye ler’s lawyer. es, Iam.” “Where were you married?” “At a newspaper office.” , I think it was by a preacher.” The woman admitted that she had If with Robie for a considerable length ¢ time before she was married to him, and that she went with him to the Times office fcr the purpose of reading the Edmunda When Taylor took the stand he gave an entirely different story of the trouble, and gave the Robies such a bad name that the charge against him looked very fishy, and Judge Kimball dismissed the case without hearing any further witnesses.
