Slowly, Inch by inch and foot by foot, white boat gained. the Both were going at a terrific pace. The patrol fleet to leeward steaming In lne ahead at intervals of 400 yards, had no difficuity in keeping the ex- cursion fleet cloar of the winged glants. Everything ‘in the fleet bad to crowd on steam to keep the racers in sight, and the pace at which they were going left the tug boats and some steam vachts behind. The guide boa!, which started fifteen min- utes before the racers, dug out at full speed, but it was hardly able to 10g off the distance and get the float overboard before the racers were on it. While golng out, the big North German Lloyder Deutschland, outward bound to Cherbourg, went through the edge of the excursion craft half a mile to the southward. The fleet seemed an- chored, ®o fast it went, looking like a big switlly moving summer hotel. In twenty minutes it was bull down on the horizon MHurry to Keep Up, As the yachts approached the outer mark & atream of signal flags were set on the revenue cutter Gresham, the flagship of the patrol fleet, instructing them in the univer- sal language of the ses to change direction by the right flank. The patrol boats swung around the line to the westward and charged down on the excursion fleet. The latter with bells clanging in the emgine rooms for more speed, turned tail and the whole fleet rushed madly to leeward of the Inst leg of the course Leaving the first mark on the starboard hand the racers gybed over their big honnis and went careening for the second mark, Columbla gaining slowly but surely. They had covered the first ten miles in a little over fitty minutes. When they swung around the second stake they took in their Vaby jib topsails for the beat home. Roth yachts heeled until their underbodies were lifted high over the water and their lee- rails dipped a foot into the cea A few minutes after rounding the second mark It was apparent that Columbia was footing faster and pointing higher. It went through Shamrock’s lee llke a quarter horse, Spectacular Finish, The rush of the leviathans on the final tack was magnificent. Excureion boats, black with people from gunwale to pilot house, gathered about, the finish in a great horseshoe. As the white flyer came on with a big hone In its teeth, well in the lead, the patriotic skippers, with their hands on their whistle cords, could hardly vestrain themselves. As it swept across the finish the din was soul-destroying Whistles split the ear and steam sirens wailed, drowning the crashos of the bands #nd the cheers of the people. The concert of sound was terrific. Until the gallant Shamrock, beaten but not disgraced, crossed a minute and eighteen seconds later whis tles and sirens were kept going. When they dled away the bands could be heard playlng ‘“Columbla, Gem of the Ocean,' “Yankee Doodle” and other patriotic airs. The steam yacht Corsalr was the first of the fleet to signalize the American victory by setting the starry banner at its mast- head. By this time all the skippers had had ample time to ransack their lockers and within a minute afterward every vessel in the fleet was alive with American flags. Sir Thomas, on Erin, did not approach within a half mile of the finish. He had seen his high hopes blasted and presumably did not care to be in at the jubilation over the defeat of his champion. But, like a good game sportsman, after Columbia went over the line he ran the American flag up to the forepeak and fired a salute in its honor. The rival crews cheered each other as they were towed home hehind thelr tenders, escorted by the wholo excursion fleet. ‘Will Race Again Today. Within a half hour after the conclusion of the race the committee boat, in accord- ance with the agreement to race dally from now on, set the signal for a race tomorrow Sir Thomas Lipton, though plainly not pleased, stood bravely at the gangway of Erin and bade cordial adieu to his guests. He also entertalned a large party of gen- tlemen and women who visited Erin after the guests had departed. ‘When asked what he thought of the race, he sald: “I admit frankly that I got licked by the best beat in a falr and square race and I maintain and belleve that there s not a better skipper afloat than Captain Syca- more, nor a better crew than mine. I have as much esteem for my captain and crew as when I came to this side, but they can't do mpossibilities “They took as much out of the boat as could be taken. I am very much disap- pointed at the result, and the only con- solation fs that T know I have becn licked by a good, honorable opponent. T know the wind was true and Columbla won without any fluke.” Tries to Keep Heart. When asked by a visiting yachtsman if he felt despondent, Sir Thomas responded pluckily: *‘As long as Shamrock's flag flles there {5 Just as much fight in me, and until I am beaten in the third race 1 am just as hopetul.” Speaking of Designer Watson Sir Thomas sald: I feel very much for Mr. Watson. He bas done his best, and if he does not succeed it {8 because he has a more able man to meet on this stde in Mr. Herreshoff. He has worked hard for two years on this boat and he has neglected uothing that he thought would help it."” 8ir Taomas sald that what he was most disappointed about was the defeat of Sham- rock In the windward work. “We were all so sure it would do well in that and in such a breeze, but it seemed to point too much.' He added that there would be no more Hood’s Pills Do not gripe nor irritate the alimen- tary canal.

Morgan, Columbia's manager, when seen on board Park City after the race, sald: “We won against an excellent foe. I alwaye thought such a day as this would be a Columbia day. We have now won two races agalnst Shamrock, sailed in what was supposad to be Shamrock weather. There was no reason why Shamrock should not win, therefore I belleve Columbia fs the best racing yacht in the world.” Mr. Morgan said the combination of Jamesson and Sycamore had been a hard one to beat. Real Winner's Terse Comment Captain Charlie Barr, who steered Co- lumbla to victory, had only this to say: ““We won the race against a very powerful adversary.” Captain Sycamore of Shamrock simply sald: “We did our best and were fairly beaten by a better boat."" Captain "“Bob” Wringe, who sailed Sham- rock I in the race against Columbia in 1899, sald: “The great surprise to me was the | wonderful windward work of Columbia. I was sure Shamrock would be able to out- sall it in that breeze, but it did not.” Columbin Indifferent About Start. The towing out of the racers from their anchorage to the starting line was devoid of Interest. There was no heavy swell to cause skippers anxiety about their bob- stays. Thus it was that Shamrock set the largest of its club topsails, and nothing daunted, Columbia followed su; When the preparatory gun was fired it was clearly evident that Columbin cared little for the start, which was made to the leeward on a close reach, the triangular course offering no benefit whatever to the craft first away. There was no true battle for position. The committee boat Navigator dropped anchor in its usual place, south of the lightship, at 10:30 and at that time both yachts, in tow under bare poles, headed up itto the wind and holsted mainsails; their headsalls were already in stops. Shamrock was first to cast loose from its tug, and a moment later Its headsalls were broken out from their stops and it made a clean run for the lightship. Columbia. which had been hugglng the easterly end of the line eased off sheets and stood for the mark. Signals were holsted from the committee boat that the course would be triangular, which meant that there would he two close reaches and one dead beat to windward for home. Thelr Getaway. The yachts heeled to a scupper breeze when the preparatory gun was fired at 10:45. Columbia, far to the eastward, stood down before the wind for the line; mean- while Shamrock was clreling around the lightship. Before the warning gun was fired, ten minutes after the preparatory signal, Columbia was ahead and not want- ing to cross the line too early, luffed up with its head sails shaking until it almost stood still. This put Shamrock in the bet- ter position, and veering close round, it crossed the line almost with the gun, while Columbia elected to cross considerably more than one minute behind. Many ex- perts thought that Columbia would be handicapped, but Barr was on the alert and sent It across in time to save himself. With the wind forward on the port beam, and with a tfny Jib topsail set on Shamrock and a much larger and better pulling sail on Columbia, the yachts started out on the first leg ot the triangle. During the first few minutes it was impossible to say whether Columbia was gaining or not. In the gusts of wind it seemed to heel over less than the challenger and also appeared to stoer a slightly higher course. Fast Time Promised. The wind, though heading true from north-northwest, varled in violence. Occa- sionally a heavy squall would strike one of tho racers, causing it to heel, but taking the mean of the puffs, nelther could be saild to have been more favored. It soon became more apparent that the race was to be sailed in very quick time. The gain of Columbla, which the turn of the first mark proved it had made, was almost imperceptible. Toward the mark the wind freshened. Columbia, with a lesser sall spread, seemed to stand stiffer than its rival, but there was little to choose between them. They smothered along toward the mark and when they rounded it Columbia had gained only twenty-two secs onds. The gybe on both craft was well done. Under the same sail as they started they both stood for the second mark. The wind piped stronger and in the strongest of the pufts Shamrock had to luff a little to ease its force in the breeze. Columbla, on the contrary, was allowed to feel the full power of every squall, never being eased, and it was this that helped it ahead. In spite of the larger sallspread of its an- tagonist it was never left behind, but kept up with the challenger. Barr's Free Taotl It became apparent by the time Columbia had sailed over one-half of the second leg that it had saved its time and was, barring accidents, a winner. Its skipper, Instead of nursing it through the squalls, let it teel the strength of them, while Sham- rock's larger spread of sail caused it to make imperative luffs, or else carry away something. In a reaching breeze closer and finer sailing perhaps was never seen There were frequent occasions when the collapse of a topmast seemed almost due. But everything hung on. Now that the second mark was in sight, and at 1245 Jib topsails were doused on beth yachts and they luffed round it, Sham- rock in the lead, but the watches showing Columbia’s gain on this leg to be thirty seconds. It was now a dead beat to wind- ward to the finish line. the mathematical point of view. It had gained on both legs and had its time al- lowance of forty-three seconds to help it. Thus, if it could hold its own to the finish line, the race was Tarn for In rounding the mark the boats solit tacks, Shamrook standing on the starboard tack for a few bumdred yards. Columbia went on the port tack for awhile and then &t 1:06 both were on the starboard tack.

Therc wae little or no differen between them in this board. At 1:67 both vent on the starboard tack for the finish line. Then came the biggest puff of all Shamrock had three or four strakes of the deck under water, but ran riske, hoping to diminish its defeat or even to win. But it was In vain. It made up a little of its lee- way, but Columba crossed the line a winner and to spare. LONDON'S HOPE VANISHES Impossible to Convey by Cable Ade- auate Notion of England's Chagrin (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Oct. 8.—(Now York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram)—It is impos- sible to convey an adequate notion of the disappointment and chagrin occasioned by Shamrock's defeat today. Absolute confidence existed that in what was be- lieved to be Shignrock weather victory was certain to be sirengthenel by Shamrock's apparent superiority at the opening of the race. Tuis conftlence was ruthlessly dashed by Columbla’s inexplicable overhauling of the challenger, and the crowds which had been waiting to acclaim a British victory steadily thinned away until, when the re. sult wae declared, few remained. iope of Lipton's winning the cup now has com- pletely vanished and with it all interest in the struggle. LONDON, Oct. 3.—10:10 p. m.—The ex- | tent of Great Britain's disappointment at the defeat today of Shamrock 11 can be thoroughly appreciated only by thos: who saw the thousands of spectators lining the Embankment. Almost man they were of the afternoon newspapers announcing that it was Shamrock II's weather had keyed up hopes here almost to a pitch of certainty, and many people entertained the idea that the depression of South Afriean affairs might be relieved byahe victory of Shamrock 11. The Intter's lead in the early part of the race 8o strengthened this impression that London threatened a repetition of Mafeking night. The crowds greeted the green )ights on the towers and on the launches which paraded the Thames with wild delight. But Columbia’s red slowly crept up, and motor cars with megaphones dashed up and down the embankment proclaiming Columbia's lead. The yachts in the Thames reversed the position of their lights and those on the signal towers were changed. The crowds stood mute, awaiting the final mes- suge “America’s cup” dinners were advertised at the Embankment hotels, and overlooking the river many fashionzble neople dined | watching the moving lights until red from all sides was flashed out. “Columbla wins" was shouted through the hotel corridors and the throngs dispersed A curious feature of the race was the an- nouncement in London over two minutes before it actually occurred off Sandy Hook. This was due to a news agency message, timed Sandy Hook, 2:06 p. m.. saying that Columbla had won, followed by others glv- ing alleged details, all bearing times pre- vious to the official and unofcial records of the yachts crossing the line. Reuter's Telegram company received the first gen- ulne meesage announcing the result. For Britishers all real interest has de- parted from the international yacht races. Their only desire is to get the matter ended. *“'If we are to be thrashed again,'' eays the Dally Chronicle, “we had rather take our gruel at humor at our command.” In short, the editorials publised this morning do not make the slightest attempt to cxplain the defeat. They frankly admlt that Shamrock II was beaten in its weather and under corditions most favor able to it and they congratulate America upon being possessed of the better boat “As a matter of fact,” remarks the Daily Graphic, “‘on none of the former occasions when the boats have met has Shamrock 11 been so far in front of Columbla as to have its time allowance in hand.” The Daily Mall says: “Columbia has demonstrated its superiority on all points of sailin The Standard says: ‘“‘Apparently there was nothing to choose between the con- tending captains and the men in point of judgment and smartness, therefore the re- sult was decided by the intrinsic capa- bilities of the vachts.

Senator W. A. Clark, the Montana copper king, has located nearly 5000 acres cf valuable coa! lands in the vicinity of Meeteetse, on the Grey Bull river, forty miles south of Cody, in the Big Horn coun- try. and will at once open from cight to twelve mines and ship the product to Mon- tana and other states in the northwest. Senator Clark has been quietly at work several years, acquiring title 1o the vast deposits of coal, which are said to equal in steaming and cookiug qualities the best grades of coal ever found in the west. State Coal Mine Inepector Young has just returned from a trip through the Big Horn country and an imspection of the Clark holdings. Mr. Young says the immensity of the deposits and the richness of the prod- uct are a revelation to those unacqualnted with the country “1 made a thorough investigation of the conditions,” said Inspector Young, “and I believe that within a sbort time the Clark coal camp will be the largest and heaviest producer in the state. Men are now at work prospecting and opening veins. There will be in all about twelve mines opened.” The Burlington will be completed to Cody in about three weeks and If the company does nmot extend the line to Clark's coal mines, the senator will probably build the connecting link himself. He will carry on | the coal mining bueiness on a large scale, | and a railroad being a necessity, the senator will probably begin construction at once. It 18 reported that Mr Clark has secured options on other coal lands In northwestern | Wyoming and controls the coal situation | there.

Equally reliable statements are that the talked-of extensions from Cody, Wyo., to the bound- | ary of the Yellowstone park will not be bullt. The Burlington's purpose in ex- tending from Lyons is to develop Fstes park, famous for its natural curiosities and scenery, into a rival of the Yellow- stone. This is said to be partially a re. sult of a refusal by the Northern Pacifi to permit an extension from Cody to the Yellowstone on the ground that it would interfere with the Northern Pacific’s tour- ist business. The new Salt Lake line will give northwestern Colorado Its first rallway communication and will open a | vast territory mot contiguous to railway | lines at present. It will also give Denver a new connection with Salt Lake City via the Lyons extension. Construction work on both lines will hegln in the spring. is NEW YORK CENTRAL'S BEST Report .

It was received with thanks, The sessions of the conventions were de- voted strictly to business. After the an nouncement of the standing committees, decision on the proposed amendments to the constitution was begun and continued with much earnestness until evening. The re- sult of the day's work was the addition of the first seven articles, which were pro- posed in the general convention of 1808, One of the changes made pertains to mat- ters of church government. Largely at- tended meetings of the Women's auxiliary completed the day's program. The day's session was preceded by morning prayers, conducted by Bishop Potter of New York, assisted by Dr. Olmsted of Massachusetts, The delegates to the house of deputies were late In assembling. After the journal of yesterday's proceedings was read Secretary Hutchins then moved the llst of standing committees. A resolution extending greetings to the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix was adopted. The appointments of assistant secretaries wers confirmed and several memorials containing personal tributes presented Several resolutions were fntroduced and referred to the committee on the prayer book. They were in reference to a change in the title page of the prayer book by the Rev. B. R. W. Taylor, suggesting the in- sertion of the words ““Holy Catholic church, according to the use of.” before the words “‘Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America.” It was resolved to draw up suitable reso- lutlons regarding the death of the late president, which shall be finally adopted by a rising vote. Co ational Amendments, In wccordance with Dr. Huntington's res- olution the amendments to the coustitution were then taken up. The first resolution covering the title by vote of dioceses wis unanimously adopted. Dr. Eger of Central New York moved the adoption of the reso- lution covering the adoption of article 1. consisting of six sections and addressed (o the house. After a long discussion article 1 was adopted by the followlng vote: Cler- ical, in favor of, 31; diocescs opposed, 31; divided, 8. Lay delegates In favor. 33; op posed, 19; divided, 1 Dr. Egar then moved the adoption of article 11, contalning four sections, It pro- vides the manner of electing dlocesan mis- | sionary bishops and requiring o priest to have attained the age of 3 vears before consecration; regulating the exercise of the | Episcopal office by bishops, practically as in the old constitution. There’ was no dis- cussion and the vote was immediately taken, resulting in nearly an unanimous vote of both orders in favor of its adoution, Fond du Lac and Quiney, on the clerlcal side, voting no. Fond du Lac alone on the lay side voted no Dr. Egar then moved the adoption of article ili, providing that bishops may be | consecrated for forelgn lands upon due ap- | plication therefrom, with the approbation of a majority of the bishops of the church. Adopted by nearly unanimous vote of both orders Article iv, providing for standing com- mittees in dloceses and for their dutles and powers not heretofore provided a place in the constitution of the general church. was adopted. New Diocenes. | Article v, sroviding for the erection of | new dioceses from missionary furisdictions by the division of axisting dioceses and by the junction of two or more dioceses. was taken up. The principal change from the old constitution is in giving greater facility in the formaticn of dioceses from m'ssionary | Jurisdictions. On miotion, the further con- sideration of this art was postponed vntil next Tuesday, because adoption now might work a hardship on one or two new dioceses which are to ask for admission to | union with the general convention at this | sessio: | Article vi, providing for the establishment of missionary districts, simply makes con- stitutional lew what had been before only common law. It was*adopted by a unan- imous vote. | The president interrupted the proceedings | to announce tha amount of the trienial of- | fering from the Women's Auxiliary society to Grace church this morning to be $104 Afterward a resolution was adopted by ris- ing vote sending warm greetings to the faithful women of the church i gratitude for the magnificent offering. Make Dr. Egar then moved the adoption of arti- cle vii, which provides for the constitution of provinces in such manner und under such conditions and with such powers as shall be provided by canon of the general con- ventions, provided, however, that no dio- ceses shall be included in a province with- out its consent. There was no discussion upon this proposed new departure in the American church and the vote was immedi- ately taken, the clerical vote in fAfty-five dloceses belng 62 ayes and 3 nays. Of the lay delegations, 41 dioceses voted aye, no and three were divided. A message from the house of bishops wae received announc- ing that the report providing for marginal readings In the bible of the old und new testaments be allowed to be read by min- isters of this church in reading lessons from holy ecripture in the morning and evening prayer.
