The explosion eurred In the chest on the limber and force of the explosion was to the rear, tear- Ing away the calsson and Igniting the pow der in the other two chests. The first cals- #on *tarried forty-two shrapnel and forty- four cartridges. The shrapnel are loaded percussion shells, containing fulminates and gmall balls, and are fired from the cannon by a cartridge containing, as In this case, three and three-quarter pounds of powder “My theory of the accident Is that the sorew plug at the base of one of the shrap nel became loosened, some of the powder leaked out, and, belng ground and pounded by the joiting of the limber, ignited the powder in the cartridges, exploding them, and the ignition of the cartridges In the other two chests followed. In the second chest of the calsson were twenty-six time shells, sixteen shrapnel and their comple ment of forty-four cartridges. In the third and rear chest were forty-two shell nd forty-four cartridges. The force of the ex plosion can readily be understood when it fs remembered that the 132 cartridges contain 495 pounds of powder. The men who were in the detachment said they recognized two dletinet reports, seemingly almost simulta- neous, This was the limber chest, followed almost In an instant by the other chests. The rattle of the explosions that followed the great detonations was the bursting of VV ghrapnel as they struck the ground. The men on the caisson wern lifted by the ex- plosion, while the horses were Killed by the missiles from the shrapnel. “I take no stock in the theory that dyna- mite had anything to do with it. The great est caution is always taken about the am- munition, Bach chest is locked by a Yale lock specially made for the government There are no keys in any battery that will unlock any but the chest to which it be- longs, and I do not believe there is a key In Chicago that will unlock any of our artil- lery chests. The ammunition is a couple of years old and has been jolted over the rough foads In Kansas, and yet, going at a light pace on the smooth streets of Chicago, the explosion took place.” Fred Stolz of the Second artillery died to- night. He was terribly burned and brulsed by the explosion. AT R WITH A STRAIGHT ARM P CH. Peter Maher Knocks the Sense, Ambition and All Ont of Frank Craig. BOSTON, July 16.—At Music Hall tonight, after two rounds of as hot fighting as Hos- ton has witnessed this season, Peter Maher stood waving his arms over the prostrate form of Frank Craig, the colore wonder from New York, whe had knocked out by a chance right hande took but five minutes to settle the darkey's cham- plonship aspirations, but the tle it _looked like a walkover for him to win, In the second round M sailed into the negro, and it was givi for the minute, with honors eas: S then the battle inclined to the Caucasian, and he followed Craig all over the ring, and finally caught him a stff upper cut fill in the face. Before the darkey could get his guard into place Maher caught him one with the left again. Then Maher shot his_right out and Craig fell to the floor with a bang that could be heard all over the hall. There he laid until Timekeeper Dan Murphy notified the referee that the time was up, and the negro seconds lifted him to his feet. He was then unconscious, but a few minutes’ careful handling brought Lim around a DETROIT'S BLUE RIBBON MEETING. Rubenstein Wins the 4-Vear-Old Purse and a 2:10 1-4 Mark. DETROIT, Mich., July 16.—The feature of the day of the opening of the Blue Ribbon meeting of the Detroit Driving club was the easy winning of the pacing by Ruben- stein.

Grand Rapids,” 20; Kansas City, Milwaukee, 15; Detroit, There was a nice crowd out at the Charles Street park yesterday afternoon to witne's the Initial game of a series of five between the Omaha Western Association team and the Young Men's Christian association, While the contest was extremely onesided it was by no means a bad game, in fact, a very creditable one, everything considered. The Young Men's Christian association went into the battle nervous and unsteady, and did not settle down to their natural gait until the game had been hopelessly lost. Still there is no cause for complaint. The Christians wers materially handicapped, first by reason of a lack of practice, and sec- ond, by their total unfamiliarity with the Charles Street grounds. When the Rourkes meet them on their own cellar door there will certainly be a different tale to relate, as the team Is very strong and capable of a good article of the game. Aside from their nervousness yesterday the game was really lost through their in- ability to connect with Alex Whitehill's c Such strong batters as Abbott, Jef- fery, Marquette and Lawler were woefully weak at the bat, not one of them getting a hit. The fielding, too, of Rustin, Craw- ford and Jellen was lame at critical times, On the other hand the professionals were all arrayed in their batting habiliments, cvery man hitting hard with the single exception of the reliable Langsford, who, in spite of his mo:t earnest attempts, couldn’t place one just right. Their fielding, while somewhat loose, was tight enough to pre- vent the Christians from earning a run, and as it was errors by Boyle and Hutchison that were accountable for the two tallies they did get in.

STORM LAKE, Ta., July 16.—(Special to The Bee.)—The prospects that the coming Iowa state regatta, which takes place July 17 and 18, will be one of the best ever held not only in point of attendance, but also in point of speed and new rowing talent that will be developed, are very flattering. While it is true that several of the clubs belonging to the Towa clation, for various reasons, will not be fs largely rep- resented as us 1, yet the .discrepancy in pect will be more than counterbal- v the clubs already present, who are » with a superabundance of enthusiasm and husky oarsmen. This is especially true of the Riverside club of Sioux City and the Dubuque club of Dubugue, These cities are within comparatively easy access of the lake and hence are Lere in full force. Sioux City is only eighty miles” west of Storm Lake, and “the Riverside club, which is known throughout the west as one of the st lively and hustling clubs in the state, here almost in a body. It is expected that SiouxCity will turn out en 1o ee the boys row on Tuesday and Wednesda: Ralph Treadway, who pulled starboard stroke in the successful Yale crew this year, i o member of the Sioux City club and 18 here, but will not row. The Dubuque boys are a fine, healthy- looking lot of athletes and are here for blood. They are the possessors of several new ‘shells, and are no doubt in better shape to win than most of the clubs pres- ent. Commodore Lindsay says that while the' boys have not done much work, they are in’excellent condition, and he expects {0 win at least five of the eight medals to be contestcd for. They have with them Robert Turner, son of G. R. Turner of McGregor, state champion single sculler, who s fasy making a record equal to that of his fat] . Ottumwa has a fair representation con- sidering the size of her club, and expects to win one or two of the events in which they are entered. B, L.

QUEEN'S CLUB GROUNDS, July 16.—The weather today was anything but promising for a satisfactory contest of athletes between the university teams of old Bngland and New England. A cold, gusty wind prevailed all the morning, it was rain- Ing some, and the grounds looked sodden and likely to prevent fast ume being made or records broken. The main pavilion looked gloomy and un- happy, as the streams of water marred its dark blue decoration and drenched the Boglish and United States flags. But no amount of bad weather could dampen the en- thusiasm of the people, and long before the hour fixed upon for the first event the vast majority of the 50,000 people expected to witness the struggle for athletic supremacy between Yale and Oxford nad crowded into the grounds, 1t is probable that no event of recent years in thé history of English athletics has at- tracted half the interest which centered to- day in the contests on the grounds of the Queen's club.

The Yale team arrived at the grounds at 4p. m., and went immediately to thefr dress- ing rooms, and were soon being rubbed down by their trainers. The Oxford men had been on the ground some time before this, and when the handlers were through with the Yale athletes the two teams were photographed In a group. The hundreds of umbrellas which were open on all sides made the crowd dreary and sober looking, and in fact cast an aspect of gloom over the entire surroundings in spite of the music which the band furnished, in' order to cheer up the assemblage of much-damp- ened athletic enthusiasts. By 4:20 p. m. the grounds were only about two-thirds full. Many of the toilets of the ladies showed, by their dark blue colorings, that they were in sympathy with Oxford, but there were also a number of ladies present whose display of light blue colors of Yale showed that the fair sex of America intended to do its utmost to encourage the young athletes of Yale. The royal box was filled with ambassadors, ministers, etc., including the Siamese minis- ter, who takes the most lively interest in athletic sports. The United States ambassa- dor, Mr. Bayard, and Mrs. Bayard, Bishop Potter, and all the secretaries of the United States embassy, were conspicuous in a group which was surrounded by the foreign repre- sentatives who were in sympathy with the Yale men. By this time the rain had ceased, but the weather continued threatening. LOST AND WON. The bell rung promptly at 4:30 p. m. for the competitors in the 100-yard dash. The moment the Yale men appeared the b struck up “Hail, Columbia,” which greeted with loud applause on all B When the pistol was fired there was a roar of applause, and in a second it was seen that Frye, the Oxford man, had the lead. While it was still In progress Captain Hickok advanced to make his mighty throw. The hammer contest proceeds uninielligibly to the vast majority of those present, for the spectators were still intent upon the. 100- vard dash. Applause is heard here and there, but it is by no means epidemic, for the spirit of the affair scems as duil as the weather. Suddenly there is a roar of ap- plause as Hickok’s hammer whirls beyond the Oxford mark. Then Robertson turns five times and shoots the hammer for his last throw. The measurers seem to take an age in deciding upon the winner, but eventu- ally up goes the American flag, and the band strikes up “Yankee Doodle.”” The men are now out for the second event, the ham- mer order being changed. Yale shouts, “‘A regular catch for Yale' and a bystander replies, raging, “Shut up you idiots.” Hickok received a spe 1 ‘ovation as h left the payilion, While the'hammer throwing pro- ceeds, Pond and Sanford struggle bravely with Frye and Jordza, but the latter were not to be beaded, and Frye won amid great cheers from the Oxgniags and English, and Yale, defeated, walks, quietly to quarters. The hurdle race was,o8 the far side course, and provious to the evept being called most of the Yale con nts indulged in a few preliminary jumps, 43 ff Introduc'ng them selves to the English hirdles. Yale got the hest of the start, and led to the third hurdle but then Oxford rushed up even, and ali went over the fourth Wirdle together. When Cady fell, however? 4tUwas apparent that Oxford would in. ! The mile ra was, ready at The pistol sends them off with start, Hiddlard of Oxford taking which he dropped after’ the first eventually gave up. Long hefore it was evident that Yale was not equal. Greenhow of Oxford, who \ing third until the end of the second lap, went to the frgnt at a terrific pace, and gradually increased the lead until the gap was mpich too big ever to be closed, and he rushed home amid a tremendous din SOME MIGHTY CLEVER JUMPING The runuing broad Jump followed. Oak- ley ofyOxford led off, clearing twenty-two feat ofe-half inch. Hatch of Yale balked ad fell, Frye. then rushed at it and slipped, but Sheldon sent Yale's spirits up with a jump of twenty-two f one and one-fourth fnches. Then Oakley and Hatch followed, but ihe latter balks, half returns, goes again and makes an unrecorded jump. But poor Frye comes up smilingly and makes a mighty offort, and the crowd roars as he lands.

Hatch goes on again, mekes a half start, returns, rune and jumps, but falls behind Frye follows with a jump of twenty-one fest nine inche:, and Sheldon finishes a fine jump of twenty-one feet six and one- half “inches by plumping down where his heels touched, while the crowd laughs Finally Sheldon cleared twenty-two feet eleven inches and won; Frye second, twenty- two fect and three-fourths of an inch, and Oakley, Oxford, third, twenty-two feet one half inch The quarter mile was called at 6:30 p. m. Sheldon's splend'd jump put the Americans in good spirits, although Hiekok said: “We have a Dard row to hoe now; losing the hurdie race hurt our chances.”” 'Off they go, Oxford leading at the start. Then Sanford of Yale forges to the front amid the greatest excitement of the day. The last fifty yards were run at a terrific pace, and Jordan was gamely and steadily getting to the front although Sanford spurts and struggles gal lantly. Jordan soon heads Sanford and rushes through the winning lines, falling into the arms of the spectators, with Sanford second, amid hurricanes of applause. Ox- ford then had won four events to Yale's two. Brown, Yale, led off with thirty-nine feet in the shot-put, and Oxford replied h forty-one feet, which preceded Hickok's forty-one feet four and one-half inches. Ox ford could not manage to do better, and put the shot with an evident feeling of inevit- able defeat, which was deepened to convie- tion when Hickok again compassed forty-one feet two inches. Against this Oxford strug- gled vainly, though gamely, until Hickok gave the coup de grace with a “put” of forty-one feet seven and one-half inches, and the event was Yale's. CLOSEST CONTEST OF THE DAY. The high Jjump proceeded quietly. The enthusi was mild, but it became uni- versal as Sheldon lightly compassed a fine jump. Other efforts follow, some success- ful and others ending flat on the grass. All knocked the bar down at five feet seven inches. The jumpers then tried it again when, upon Sheldon clearing it, a wild up- roar broke out from Yale and from the par- ticipants of the Amerlcan team. Oxford followed and knocked the bar down Cady ~ placed a handkerchief in front for his feet and cleared it again for Yale. Swanwick, Oxford, also cleared it, a feat which was received with much tumult by the Oxonians. Sheldon jumped and failed, and Captain Hickok was seen to be rubbing the Yale man's ankle. Gardiner, Oxford, then made a failure, and he was followed In this by Cady of Yale Then Sheldon cleared five feet, eight and tlwee- quarters inches, to the din of rival college cries. Then Swanwick negotiated the same jump successtully, which brought forth re- newed roaring applause from Oxford. In the meanwhile Sheldon was rubbing his knee, and soon afterwards tries again and fails. The crowd at this point took up what they supposed to be the Yale cry and began yelling “Quack, Quack, Yale.” Gardiner then tried again and failed, and so did Cady. Finally Swanwick jumped once more and failed, and the event was pronounced to be a tie, and the grand result was hardly doubt- ful unless Yale could win the half mile run, in which event the whole contest would have been a_tie. At 7:30 the pistol shot started the men on the half mile run, the report re-echoing over the grounds and losing itself In roars of encouragement from Yale as her colors were carried to the front in the first lap. Greenhow of Oxford, however, was running evidently with much reserved strength, and he pushed to the front, causing the Oxonians to yell like madmen. Pond could not down him, though Yale yelled never so hard in her effort to encourage the New England runners, and Greenhow came in ahead of Pond by six inches In a terrific finish, only to be seized in the arms of yelling Oxonians, raised aloft and carrled along the track. After the finish poor Pond was completely exhausted and fell into the arms of two friends, who fairly carried him from the field, while a few feet distant the victorious Greenhow was being borne along, holsted upon the shoulders of the howling crowd.

Crowds that Wat d the Contest Not Sparing in Thelr Partisanship. LONDON, July 16.—Despite the love of fair play of which the English are wont to boast, the crowds which witnessed the contests between the Oxford and Yale teams today re generally most unfair partisans. Of course, in the box where the American ambassador and a number of prominent Englishmen were gathered, the Englishmen made a point of clapping their hands when a Yale man was successful, and Mr. Bayard was equally careful to applaud the successes of the Oxford men, but_everywhere else the most intense j ousy was manifested.

While poor Pond, who ran one of the pluckies races ever s 1, Wi lying in his ends arms, the Oxonlan who had saved the Eng lish from being tled was being borne tri- umphantly to the pavilion, men and women following, with faces aflame and runnin nd velling in_mad delight, It was al ypleal of the British fecling M fully Frye of Ox- Assoclated Frye Hickok of Yale and interviewed by the espondent after the games. very happy. He said the Oxford team were delighted with the Yale athletes. He thought the Americans had not done thelr best and cerfainly were not up to the r ords, This was because they were ov tralned, while the Oxford men had mnot reached thelr best form because they we undertrained. All the members of his team were surprised at Hickok's work with the hammer and weight. He regretted that the weather conditions were not better, and thought that If the track had been dry Sheldon would have cleared twenty-four t in the running broad jump. He sald further, that although it was difficult to induce the Oxford men to train in the sum- tl rmined, it possible, to e return match with Yale In 1 the athletes for the two universities could meet annually.

The contest to day was an exciting one, the British cutter plucking victory out of the jaws of defeat after the race had apparently been com pleted, with all chances in favor of Amer- t is Slower sventh time ce was for the County Down cup A added for_the sccond yacht, over the Royal Ulster Yacht club’s course, Bel fast Lough, fifty miles. Mark boat No. 1 was anchored oft the club battery ¢ Bangor, County Down. Mark' boat No. 2 was off Carrickfergus, on the opposite Antrim shore, about a mile east of the bank. Krom there they sailed ound mark boat No. ff Black Hend, on the Antrim coast; thence around the south Briggs lightship and back to mark boat No. 1. This course was a_little mor than sixteen miles, and to make the dis. tance had to be salled three time The Vigilant, since her sixth defeat by the Britannia on Thursday, had undergone numerous alterations of a radical kind. Her top-mast had been shortened by four feet nd a half; her spinnaker-boom had be shortened four fect and cut down an fnch in diameter, and three feet had been cut off her bowsprit. She had new wire bobstays and her ballast had been lightened. With the reduction of canvas the time allowance to the Britannia is reduced from three min- to one minute three nds he race today was open to yachts over 10 rating, but the American sloop and the British cutter Britannia alone competed The cutter Carina was entered, but was withdrawn, as she had no possible chance against the two crack racers, The start was In a fa'rly gosd bre-ze. Ths Britannia seconds the best of the start he Carrickfergus boat led by fifteen seconds, but half way to the Black. Head boat was passed by the Vigilant, which passed that mark about twenty ahead. At the South Briggs at the lead had been Increased to fif ) seconds. The first round saw the Vigi- lant about thirty-one seconds ahead of the prince of Wales' boat, of which thirty sec- onds was gained in the last quar The Vigilant rounded the Bangc mark boat the first time at 1: Britannia followed at 1:03:55. The Pritannia made a gain of fifty seconds in the first leg of the nd round, and passed the Carrickfergus mark boat only forty-one seconds behind the American sloop. The advantage was only temporary, however, for in the run to the Black Head boat the Vigilant widened the gap that separated her from the Britannia and round- ed the mark two minutes forty-four seconds in the lead, having in that length two minutes fourteen scconds. Fourteen seconds were added to the lead in the run to complete the second round. The times of the two vachts in_ rounding the Bangor mark boat were: Vigllant, Z:18:38; Britan- nia, 2:51:11, Vhen ‘half the course was covered the it led by two minutes three but the Britannia caught a northweste breeze, of which the American yacht was not able to avail herself, s the Carrickfergus boat ‘was rounde prince of Wales' cutter was in the I N two minutes nine seconds. Rounding mark boat No. 3 the Britannia’s lead was two minutes thirty seconds. The Dritannia fin- ished at 5:01:12 and the Vigilant at 5:05:45, which, with™ the time allowance to the winner, gave the British cutter the race by two minutes forty-two seconds. After the Britannia got ahead, the race was virtually over, as the Britannia was enabled, with a fresher breeze, to beat the Vigilant safely. The result of the race was in no way in accord with the form shown by either vacht in the early stages of the contest. The Vigilant exhibited de- cided superiority at every point and ought to have won with a couple of minutes to spare over the time allowance. r or home and the Al Vig + Beaton at Neola.
