Thealack of the topmast stay allowed the topmast to bend far over toward the waler on the port side—so far that it looked for a moment as though the mast was about d away.

He probably felt that had he come uo to wind and met its fil strength with his club topsail going the en- tire upper outfit would have been carried ¥. 8o he eased off to find out what real damage had been done.

REAL VICTORY FOR DEFENDER. Such s a brief outline of the day's events. The real story is known only to those who watched the fight. Saturday's race, the first of the series, wag decisive, but none couid tell what Valkyrie might do under other conditions. Today she was favored to ‘he end, and it was a victory that will be told best in the detailed story that follows. It wag feared that after Defender's mishap the contest would prove so unequal as to lose its interest, but it was this very accident that gave (he Englishmen a fighting chance agatnst Defender today. With a strong breeze and a high sea for the third series, Valkyrie may do better, but at all events she has the distinction of reaching the heme 1ine in advance of the American boat, the first in- a:quarter of a century. Only ane other boat finished closer to the winner than did Defender today, and that was Valkyrie II in her, race with Vigilant in 1893, when forty secBnds ohly separated them. It had been the generally expressed wish that Lord Dun- raven would win one race of the series, 'and some kindly disposed people even extended their good wishes to the hopes that he might get two; that, as they explained, he would be Influgnced in coming again for another try for the cup. The good wish has come to pads, unless the cup committee entertains Defender’s protest and declares against the Englishman, and so good citizens on their way to their respective homes after the con- tost today congratulated themseives that Dunraven and his gallant boat had gained What they had hoped he would gain—a win- ning bracket, and Defender had gained a veritable victory, Pointing _their noses inward, the fleet moved quickly along, forming a protecting line around the two as they were towed to their berths at Bay Ridge. On Defender Mr, Tselin and the yellow dog, both mascots, that had néver before been at fault, consoled with each other under the main boom, while Captain Hank Haff, when asked as to the ac- cident, looked aloft grimly and bawled “‘Val- Kyrio's main boom tore away our rigging,'" and would say no more. That was the ex- tent of the information to be had on De fender. Later it was given out at the New York Yacht club that the cup committee would: not_render a decision in regard to the protest before tomorrow. PROTEST INFORMALLY CONSIDERED. The tug Walter Luckenbach. with the Tegatta committee of the New York Yacht club, arrived at the foot of Bast Twenty- sixth street at 7:20 o'clock tonight. . Nicholson Kane, chairman of tha committee, asked ia regard to the alleged fouling of Defender by Valkyrie, said that a protest ha@ been- entertained and that the regatts committec had held a conference in regard to the matter while the tug was on her way to-the dock, but that no definite conclusion had been arrived at. After the race Com- modore Kane said the Luckenbach had gone into the Horseshoe, where C. Oliver Iswtin went of board and spoke to the members of the committee, Lord Dunraven sent a note torCommodore Kane at the same time. Commodore Kane did not think that any conclusion in the matter could be reached by the committee tonight, but expected it could be definitely settied tomorrow morn- ing. B was aad at the Now York Yacht club tonight that the decision on Defender’s pro- test would not be mado until late tomorrow. "The committee having the protest'in hand is domposed of Chester Griswold, Nicholson Kane and Irving Grinnal. It was announced the committee would not even consider the matter tonight, but would tomorrow have a meeting and take testimony. This notice was posted in the rooms of the New York Yacht club tonight: “‘Defender pratésts the Valkyrie on the ground that she bore down upon her just before reaching the starting line, cansing a foul, which resulted in the carrying away of her spreader and th springing of her topmast. “THE REGATTA COMMITTEE."” MADE A GALL I by ANT FIGHT DEFENDE Mer Ac t to prary Repnirs, 10.-I'he . committee was on the © Up A NEW YORK, boat, Walter A. Sept. Luckenbach, ground In good season and promptly hung up the signal which told the racers that the course would be over a trlangle of ten miles to the angle, the first leg being to the windw; south, the second northeast by east, and the third northwest by west, hajt west. As the committeo boat made Kiiown the dfrections of * Phose In * charge the wind dropped to a speed of ahout five miles an hour from a force of something like eight miles. There was no kind of a sea on, nor swell. The surface of the ocean was most favorable to tHe Valkyrie. It was noticed whilo the contestants were sailing around about the line that was to be made the starting paint that thelr sails set equally as well as they did on Saturday. This was especially the case with Defender’s white plug topsall. The preparatory gun was fired from the committee boat sharp on the appointed time of 10:30. Both yachts had baby jib topsails sot when, after some clever maneuvering about the line which had been drawn between the Luckenbach to the westward of the Dany Hook lightship and the lightship, they both stood down to the line., After the skippers had performed all the monkeying that they could do about the lne they finally made their way down to the start. Coming to that first station, Valkyrie was to windward and Defender something like two lengths astern and to leeward. It wos at this period, about half a minute before the starting siknal should be givew, that De- fender overbauled Valkyrie In a very rapid mapner and had her nose abreast up to Valkyrie's beam, when the lattor eased off and blanketed the American beat so thor- oughly that Defender's baby jib topsail and §Ib shook in the wind. Captain Haff, when he saw his head salls shaking and the move- ment of the Euglishman In the way of an attempt to hianket him, thraw Detender high up, as though about to tack or at least to pass under Valkyrie's stern and get to wind- ward of the Briton, Valkyrie was very promptiy aware of thix move and luffed up well into the wind. They were them both almost on the fine. As Valkyrie luffed her boom went smash against the jib topsail of Defender and that concussion was the cause of the protest that cmne later. QUESTION OF RIGHT OF WAY. Of course Valkyrie weut over the line first 'k soon after crosing the line, Valkyfie was good eighth of a mile to windward and al lengths ahead. As they stood away on the port tack the wind increased to eight or nine miles an hour. During that tack Valkyrie plainly outfooted and outpointed De- fender, who did not care to run up any sail on the §ib topmast. At 1:24 Defender came about to starboard. Valkyrie [o.~wed as promptly as though she had been racing with a fellow well met. On this tack Defender pointed up very well and went very fast, but Valkyrie did better in both points of sailing. They only stood away on this tack for about five minutes, then they came around together. All the time Val- kyris was doing the better work on botl pointing and tooting. There cansiderable wonder expressed that Defender, without any Jib topsall, did not point higher than she did, but as a matter of fact Valkyrie was going to windward all the time she was going ahead. At 1:54 Defender was the first to come about, and she did it in a very slow, slovenly, careless manner, occupying no less than twenty-seven seconds. Valkyrie followed her opponent’s example quickly and continued to race as a boat ought for a cup race, At this stage of the game Defender's friends looked very blue. They were sure Defender would lose the race, but they did think their champion should do better than she was doing. They were willing to lose under the eircumstances, but they were unan- imous in saying that Defender should make all the fight she was able to do, but she did not appear to make even a bluff at doing it. After that the boys tried to console them- selves with the thought that Defender, a cripple, was simply going over the course as a protesting contestant, EXCURSION BOATS BEHAVED BETTER The excursion boats were behaving more generously .than they did on Saturday They really kept away at least hal® a mile from the competitors and remained well to leeward at that time. The breeze was freshening from the south right along and Valkyrie, being to windward,. always felt the increase first. The same thing was seen as one Saturday in the matter of the way the boats went through the water. The sca was far smoother, there being not so much ground ewell on, but Val- Kyrie splashed and threw spray from her bows for many feet, while Defender slid through the water easily and smoothly as a snake. During the latter part of the beat out to the first mark Defender did better point- ing, but her Jib was shaking a good deal of the time. At 12:10 the yachts came around to port and at 12:24 back again to starboard, on which tack they were both able to make the first mark, where Valkyrie led by three minutes and fifty-two_seconds. As Valkyrie rounded she set her big balloon jib topsail and took in her jib. That big front sail filled magnificently. Defender cranks watched with all their eyes to see if thelr favorite would et her balloon jib topsail. They wanted to find out it De- fender's rigging had been weakened as much as they feared. Alas, Defender was only able to Tun up a baby sail on the jib tepsail stay. A larger spread of canvas would have caused too much strain on the weakened stay. De- fender did, however, set a balloon stay sail, and not long afterward Valkyrie followed suit and sent up a balloon on her forestay. The wind was then about south, southeast, golng at the rate of somethiug like twelve miles an hour and blowing well over the yachts’ quarter, with booms well out to port. On this second leg the crippled Defender overhauled the Briton by no less than seven- teen seconds. At the end of this broad reach the yachts rounded the second mark as fol- lows: Valkyrie, one hour, fifty-elght min- utes and ten seconds; Defender, two hours, one minute and forty-five seconds. DEFENDER GAINED RAPIDLY. Now the wind had shifted southwest by south and slowed down to eight miles an hour. The' last leg was by compass direct northwest by west, half west and sheets were hauled aft 5o that the wind would meet the vessel's beam. As soon as the boats had both laid their course for home De- fender, with her sound rigging to windward, began 'to rapidly overhaul Valkyrie. Valkyrie took in her balloon iib topsail and replaced it with a baby. She also set « bailoon stay sail, but do what she would, the cripple overhauled her in a really miracu- lous manner and gained on the English boat 0 fast that when the finish was reached Valkyrie was only two minutes and eighteen seconds ahead, after having gone over the starting line one minute and two seconds ahead. More than one competent witness of the day's sport said that, considering every- thing, Valkyrie was beaten worse today than cn Saturday. Defender gained on her on the second and third legs. As a matter of fact, the only time at which both vessels had the same saills set was in the third leg, and during that run Defender gained one minute and seventeen seconds. The few champlons of the English boat wha are left cannot to- night find any consolation In the achiove- ment of their ship today. The officiul time table is as follows: First Sec'd El'sed Start. mark. mark. Fin'h. time. Valkyrie . 11:00:13 12:57:43 1:58:10 2 Detender 1101 1:35 2:01:45 2: Corrected time: yrie, 3:55:01 der, 3:55:56, Thus it will be seen that Valkyrie won by one minute and seventeen seconds on clapsed time, and, after deducting twenty-nine sec- | onds which she allows Defender, by forty- seven seconds. WAS ENGLAND'S DAY T0 REJOICE. Val Fear that the V ¥ May Be Through Defender's Protest. LONDON, Sept 10.—The excitement in Len- don tenight over the International yacht race off Sandy Hook Is greater even than that which prevailed on Saturday night, when the adyantage over Defender at the start had created u feeling of the utmost confidence that the English beat would win and when the news of Defender’s vietory was recelved with proportionate disappointment. Though still hopeful of a- turn of fortune in favor of Valkyple, the London public had reconeiled itself o the thought that the America’s oip would ot return to England. The anx- foty s to the issue of today's.race was wrought up to & fever heat by the frequent Issuing of coxtra editions of the evening papers giving bulleting of the ‘contest. The genural jJoy over the victory of the British was somewhat tempered by apprehension Jest the protest of Defender may yet be placed before the committee In such a light s to luduce the authorities to give the race the American boat or declare-the race must be sallad agalo. As the tender approached the Teutonic apon ber arrival at Queenstown today from New York great excitement was noticed among the maloon passengers on the deck, and they shouted to the tender: “Who has Lost and to windward. Defender was close after r, but she had baraly got over the line whes the uhaet of her Jib topsall the passengers upon learnimg that Defender won the race?™ There was & loud cheer from lwll victorious iw the first rece. It was too | lish or American ‘HE OMAHA DAILY B WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1895 early yet to have the resyits of today's event. There was frantic eagerniess to get news. and learn the details of the race, which had been the principal tople on board the steamer during the passaze. The morning papers very generally com- ment upon the Vaikyrie-Defender contest, and expressions of regret at the fouling of De- tender are common 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 is a possibility, approaching proba- the damage sufficient bility, that however slight was that Defender sustained, it was to affect the result.'” The Daily Telegraph's comment: “Whether the fault of the collision lay with the Eng- vessel, one thing at least that Defender was the chief do not envy the committee deciding the controverted issue. thing we are fortunately sure of, the verdict is against, the re- ners are sufficient sportemen Lo do what the honor of their country demanda. Neither side has the least desire to win otherwise than on its merits.” The Dally News says: “The distance be- twen the yachts at the finish was all too little to enable us to treat the regretable collision by which Defender suffered as a thing of no consequence." The Standard says: “The races which have been sailed throw little light upon the re- spective merits of the rival crafts, for the finel resuit is as open as it was before they met. It was unfortunate that the foul oc- curred, but happily it did not affect the race Inasmich as Defender was on the port tacl no doubt remains upon that point, as a ves upon the port tack always has to give way. The Chroniele: “We cannot consider it a clear win, and it will always be open to the Americans 7 say that it was not a fair win, and we are sure Lord Dunraven would rather sall it over again than to have that believed by the western world. Line for line, despite the accident, Defender showed herseif to be the faster boat.” Tue Times in its comment says: * body will deeply regret the accident, >ver be the technicalities of the matter. account seems to show that in a more or less crippled condition: victory, therefore, 'f awarded, will seems certain, sufferer. We their task of But one spective The Defender saiied The not b one upon which we can look with satisfaction. if no mishap had cecurred the situation would have been almost ideal from the stand- point of afl who love sport. What we would w1 wish would be to see the remaining raccs won_alternately and the whole contest de- caed by a neck and neck finish in conse- quence. This disposition on both sules 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 com- won ancestors. Englishmen wish to see Lord Dunraven bring the cup, but the last thing they would desire would be to see it ganed by a technicality. This sentiment, we are sure, is fully understood and sympa thized with by the Americans.” GLASGOW, Sept. 10.—Twenty thousand people assembled outside the office of the Citizen today, and there was great cheering and hat waving by the crowd as the bulletins were posted. Many people were seen to dis- play Lord Dunraven's colors. A slight feel- ing af disappointment was manifested when it was learned that Defender was overhauling her opponent, but the news of the victory was greeted ith tremendous cheering. Yachtsmen here were of the opinion that Val- kyrie III would do better on a triangular course. It was pointed out in regard to the great gain which Defender made when rac- ing home that this was Valkyrie's weak poirt on the Clyde, Britannia having gained two minutes on the short reach from Wemyss bay to Craigmore. The wish is father to the thought that the race will not be awarded to Defender on protest, but that the commit- tee will order the race to be resailed on Thursday. ~ Great satisfaction is expressed here at the better behavior of the excursion steamers which attenlc? today's race. MONTREAL, Sept. 10.—Thousands howled themselves hoarse in froyt of the newspaper offices as soon as the final offictal result of the yacht race was announced. For some minutes when the result was in doubt the crowd groaned, but when the official notice was published it went wild... The Star issued Valkyrie badges, and so great was the rush that the crowd all but wrecked the business office. Unlon jacks were carried everywhere and the -whole town is in a fever of ex- citement. DUNRAVEN'S He Offers to Pension Valkyrie's Crew if the Cup ix Won by Her. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The statement is made that Lord Dunraven has offered a pen- sion of 30 shillings weekly to every member of the crew of Valkyrie should they succeed in winning the America’'s cup. The offer he is reported to have made in an address to the sailors and their commanders, in which he said: “While I feel satisfied that every man will do his duty, I am anxious to encourage you to exert your services to the utmost to win the remaining runs of the series. With that end in view I desire to say that if the cup goes back to England by reason of your sea- manship 1 will pension every man for life and pay each of you 30 shillings weekly so long as each one of you lives.'” The announcement was so unexpected that for a minute not a word was spoken. Then, actuated by a common impulse, the men of the crew broke out into cheers, Lord Dun- raven again impressed them with his ambi- tion to snatch victory from what now appears almost certain defeat, and then retired. The men afterward held an informal meeting and discussed the offer. Although they declined to talk it was clear from their manner that they had entered into a compact to strain every nerve to win. Lord Duaraven’s action is without pre- cedent, either considered by itself or from the standpoint of generosity. It is the am- bition of his lordship to place within the hands of his queen the trophy that passed out_of the possession of England nearly a half century ago. The ages of the twenty- six men will average 36 years. They are all strong and healthy and their expectation for lifo may be set at 70 years. In that time, it the expectation be realized, they will have received $15,600, and in the aggregate £82,160, or $400,800. That the crew appreclated Lord Dunraven's inducement, was shown by their work in today's race. LIBERAL PROMISE, Fredrickson's Recent Great Showing. H. E. Fredrickson has just returned from a swing round the cirele of bicycle meetings. At Fremont Fred went in the one-half mile open, one mile open, two mile handicap, on the first. day. On the second day he was in the one mile open, quarter-mile open and the five mile handicap. Of these he won the one- halt mile in 1:05, the lowest state coinpeti- tion record, and second in the two mile handicap, from the scratch. On the second day he won the one mile, the quarter-mile and five mile handicap. In the mile he lowered the state competition record from 2:15 2-5 to 2:12; in (he quarter-mile he low- cred the record from 32 3-5 to 321, At Le- mars, Ia., he went in seven races and scored four first, three second and one third prize. The mile unpaced was a great race. It was for the Towa unpaced record, which he low- ered 1 1-5 seconds. In this race there were three crack Minnesota riders and two of Iowa's best men. Fredrickson made a good all round record. During the past week, in- cluding four runs at the Charles Street park, Fredrickson has won twelve events.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 10.—Good sport was furnished the 1,000 people who attended the second day's trotat the Loulsville Driving and Fair association park. The track was In pectect shape, if possible faster than yester- day, and the sport on the whole excelled that of the opening day. The first thing on the program was the unfinished 2:25 pacing race of yesterday. Mandolin, who won the last two heats yesterday, took the only heat paced this afternoon with comparative ease. An accident, which fortunately resulted in no serious injury to the drivers of the horses, occurred in the secand heat of t When near the half mile Brown, driven by Starr; driven by Curry, came’ tc ted and drivers were un w Bro down the embankment. ‘Tommy righted his sulky and ran to the wire with- out his driver.

Extreme Liability to Bad In- testinal Trouble Lactated Food Should Bo Used in September. Child’s Digestion Left Weak by Hot Summer, Peril ot a Sudden Change in Fall to Ordinary Diet. Mothers should remember that the baby had a hard fight through all these hot days and nights of summer. Even if your baby has so far resisted the prevalent fatal disorders, cholera infantum and dlarrhoea, its strength and power of digestion has certainly been much weakened, It will take but little to overturn its stomach and precipitate an attack of the dreaded cholera infantum. This 1s the history of so many fatalities among infants in September. Prudent mothers wili take the advice of physicians and continue to make lactated food baby's regular diet. The early fall weather is as perilous as the worst month of summer. There are extreme changes in temperature; the relurn home from the seashore or coun- try brings new conditions in baby's sur- roundings that it is not easily accustomed to. Physiclans know that the food of children must be most carefully watched while baby is getting used to fall weather. There is security from di.rrhoea and from fanlty nu- trition “in lactated food. Babies and young children always develop strong appetite when fed on this best of all infant foods. Luctated food encourages under-fed babies to take a proper amount of nourishment. The difficul- ty and the prime importance of arousing such a healthy desire for food has not for an instant been left out of sight in the prepara- tion of lactated food. Lactated food snlves the problem of keep- ing very young children well nourished at all seasons. Babies often become s0 weake nutritition that they grow listless up their heads and tako little notice of things about them. Time and time again has lac tated food been given to these little pining infants to the immense gratification of par ents. It takes but a short time for the splendid food to brighten the dull eyes and to make a romping, noisy, plump baby, that was but a litttle while before a thin, pitia- ble, white-faced child and a source of ext- reme anxiety o its parents. Thousands of homes are today freed from the dread of cholera infantum and such wast- ing di £ childhood by lactated food. Countless mothers now sleep soundly, know- ing thelr prectous charges are safe. Lactated food fuily meets every need of growing chil- dren. It Is a perfect substitute for mother’s milk—sugar of milk is the basis of both. Children weaned or deprived of hreast milk grow steadily and keep strong and well on an exclusive diet of lactated food. It brings them safely through the teething period and makes them develop strong bones and a robust constitution. No mother with a sickly child should delay putting it on a dlet of lac- tated food. It means a vigorous child in the place of a weakling. ses AMUSEME Tol. 1531 —PAXTON & BURGESS, Mgrs RETURN ENGAGEMENT OF THE JOHN STAPLETON Co, Direction of Gustave Frohman, Matinee Today, 2:30 H TONIGHT Any Reserved T y‘ Seat, 25 cents. | A Stall.
