At 11:30 both yachts were pretty nearly becalmed. Co- lumbia having a lead of about a quarter of a mile. At 11:35 Shamrock went on the starboard tack, Columbla followed. and then a lucky streak filled Shamrock's sails and gave it an appreciable lift. At noon both yachts were on the port tack, almost becalmed. The ¢lub topsails and;jib ton- salls were the only sails that puffed out responsive to the stray streaks of air. The big malnsails flapped as the vachts rose and fell In the long easterly roll and the luff | of the head alls quivered.

Shamrock went on the port tack imme- lately, followed by Columbia, and in an- other minute the Britisher was ahead and to windward. The wind now became more southerly. Both yachts sel jib topsails and eased off sheets, steering a direct | course for the mark. Then Shamrock forged ahead and got into the doldrums, while Columbia got aslant of wind and at 1:56 passed Shamrock.

TRENTON, N. J,, Oct. 1.—Mayor James M. Seymour of Newark was nominated on the second ballot today as the demo- cratic candidate for governor of New Jer- sey in a convention that at times was tur- butent. in. the extreme. State Chairman Willlam Gourley was per- manent chairman of the convention. In the first voting the Seymour and the anti- Seymour forces were almost evenly divided and had the anti-Seymour leaders been able | to concentrate their vote on a single can- didate they might ®ave won. However, there was a strong undercurrent among the delegates for Seymour and It was only through the generalship of the leaders ot the anti-Seymour forces that the latter were kept in line. The nomination of Mayor Seymour was a defeat for former United States Senator Smith and his forces and a victory for E F. C. Young and Robert Davis of Hudson county and Colonel E. Price of Essex county. The anti-Seymour people made an effort to concentrate their strength on ex-Con- gressman Ferrell of Gloucester county and succeeded to the extent of securing 450 votes for him on the first ballot, which was only eight less than the vote given mour. Thera were 1,143 delegates in the con- vention and on the second ballot the scat« tering vote went largely to Seymour and accomplished his nomination. Ex-Judge Robert Woodruff of Mercer, temporary chairman of the convention, made feeling reference to President McKinley and when he finished speaking the band played “Nearer, My God, to Thee." The vast as- semblage arose and sang the words of the bymn. Lie Freely Puased. The firat real tumult of the convention broke out when hoth of the chairmen of contesting delegations from Essex county tried to name the county's representatives on the several committees. After the con- vention had been In an uproar for some time and the lie had been freely Chairman Woodruff permitied B. W the democratic candidate of three years ago for governor, and mn anti-Seymourite, to name the Essex representatives on tie committes on credentials and order of husi- ness. -Finally a recess was declared and 1t was nearly 4 o'clock when the convention was called to order after the recess The resolutions were confined to state Issues and embraced a general condemna- tion of the republicans in the conduct of state affairs. The following nominations for governor were then made: Ex-Congressman Thomas Ferrell of Glosboro, Mayor James M Seymour of Newark, ex-Judge Howard Car- | row of Camben, Senator Christian Praun of Passale and James E. Martins of Union. When the first ballot was taken it stood Seymour 488, Ferrell 480, Braun 91, Carrow 68, Marting 22; necessary to a cholce, 674. On the second ballot Seymour gained fifty-six votes, most of which came through his getting the vote of Morris and War- ren countles. Ferrell lost only eleven votes, but Seymour was within thirty-three votes of the nomination and then began a stampede. When tho vote was finally an- nounced 1t stoad 779 for Seymour, with the remaining for Ferrell.

A. Thompson was the victim. Under the supposition that he was to be initiated into a secret fraternity, he was enticed into the woods, stripped of his clothing, tied to a tree and thrashed with switches. His halr was clipped close to his head by his tor- mentors, who, after hiding his clothing, de- #efted him. As It was very dark and cold the victim suffered severely, as he wan- dered through the trees and bushes in quest of his garments. Thompson reported the matter and requested an investigation, but, as the victim was unable to identify a single student implicated, nothing has yet been done toward punishing the malefactors, YATES PLEADS FOR BUFFALO Wlinois People They Should Re- turn New LD, 1., Oct 1.—Governor Yates tonight gave to the Assoclated Press the following address to the people of Tlinois Tn compliance with the request of com- mittees having in charge the arrangements for Tllinots day at the Pan-Amerl position I hereby call the Deopie of Titinats 1o the position authorities ha day, October 7, 1001, have made extensive preparations for iis proper observance. .
