Before leaving Captain Barr said: “We did the best wo could and they did the best they could and we came out first, that's all.”” At the New York Yacht club tonight Chalrman ..ane and Secretary Oddie were closely questioned by members regarding the sensational finishes. Mr. Kane said he had great difficulty in timeing the yachts, but was fortunate in sighting the mast i | proper 1auge. The range was from a smail | white flag on the committee tug and the | malnmast of the Sandy Hook lightship. Chester Griswold of the regatta committee | held the watch that timed the yachts. Just Betore the Race. It was fully half an hour before the preparatory gun when the committee boat Navigator holsted the slgnal, “D. C. 8. Indicating that the course would be fifteen miles to leeward and return. The wind at that time came from the north-northwest and was blowing all of twelve miles an heur. Both racers came out from the horseshoe In tow of their tugs and seemed slow in getting their salls set. Shamrock was first to hoist its mainsail and also first to get up its largest club topeall Columbla, evidently waiting to test the strength of the wind, did not set its club topsall until 10:40. Captaln Barr decided that the wind was not too strong for his Ne. 1. At the preparatory signal at 10:45 both boats were far up to the windward and came down toward the lightship and just before the warning gun, again headed up into the wind simultaneously and worked bdck to their former positions. Both were on the port tack and close hauled with Columbia on the weather quarter of the challenger, Barr Again the Winer. The American boat was first to® come About after the warning gun at 10:55. Shamrock immediately foilowed and planted 1teelf directly astern of the defender, at the same time breaking out its tremendous balloon jib and letting fall to starboard its spinnaker pole. It was Sycamore's game to cross last If possible. This he was able to do, but while it had the pride of the position, he found himselt thirty seconds behind the handicap gun. Barr in the meantime had delayed breaking out his light salls and still held Columbia's sheets in flat. Thus he too, handicapped his boat in crossing, but not so much as his rival, for (t is estimated that he was only fifteen seconds behind the handicap gun. The spinnakers oo both boats were broken out on the line and away they went on what proved to be the last race of.the inter- national series of 1901 Both boats belng handicapped, the ofcial time of the start was posted on the bulle- Scrofula - This voot of many evils — Glandular tumors, abscesses, pimples, and other cutaneous erup- tions, sore ears, inflamed eyelids, rickets, dyspepsia, catarrh, readi- ness to catch cold and inability to get rid of it easily, paleness, ner- vousness, the consumptive ten- dency, and other ailments — Can be completely and perma- nently removed, no matter how young or old the sufferer, Hood's Sarsaparilla was given the duughter of Silas Vernooy, Wawaraing.

The run down the wind was un- eveatful after Shamrock took the lead, ex- cept a few moments before the turn, when Columbla, catchivg first a fresh puft of wind, ran up on the challenger's weather quarter The boats were then very near the turning buoy, so that Shamrock took n its epinnaker and balloon jib and set, with a grester speed (han had been yet shown by the British crew, Is §ib and siayeails.

But it | was unable to do so and had to turn forty nine seconds behind Its rival The offic time of turning the outer mark was as follows: Shamrock, 12:48:46; | Columbia, 12:46:35. First Round for the Irish. Thus ¢n the run stralght dowr the wind the crallenger had gained, according to of- | ficlal time, forty-nine seconds, but in re- ality it had dene better than this, for to this forty-nine eeconds are to be added fif teen seconds which Columbia led it over the starting line. After rounaing the mark Shamrock stood some minutes on the starboard Just before 1 o'clock the defender came about and stood over on the star- board tack toward Shamrock. The two boats held along together on the same tack for somc five or six minutes. Then Shamrock put about and at 1:05 crossed Columbic's bows and tacked well on the American Loat's weather. Then exactly a8 was the case Wednesday and at almost the same time of day, 1:12, another dra- matic event of the race occurred. In three minutes Columbia passed clear through the lee of the challenger, went on the port tack and easily crossed its bows. Sham- rock at cnce tacked under the defender's lee and then developed a situation that could not be sxplained unless by change of wind, While Columbla kept on pointing very high, Shamrock headed far off to leeward and for several minutes did not point any- where near as high as Columbia, and rap- idly fell off. The wind had now dropped mtacrially and it soon became fluky as well, first one boat getting it in puffs and then the other. At times there was a great difterence in their pointing, Columbla now heading well up, while Shamrock fell off and then again the reverse was:true, tack Vialtor Redceems Lost Gronud, At 1:30 the boats were standing along on the port tack, but wide apart. was well to windward, the distance being ei timated by some of the yachting sharps at nearly a mile, but at the same time It was slightly astern. A series of short tacks was then begun by both racers and in these Shamrock showed evident gains, belng alded by friendly slants of wind. For half an hour these short tacks con- tinued and when at 2 o'clock the boats cameo together near eénough to afford com- parison, it w seen that the challenger had made up a large part if not all its lo The wind meanwhile had become mote and more fluky and was blowing not over seven or eight knots.

A fow minutes after 2 o'clock Barr put Columbia about on the starboard tack and headed for the Jersey shore.

Seamanship of the highest order was now required and in this respect it was hats off to doughty Charlie Barr. He nursed his craft along in the light airs in & wonderful manner and at every moment had & sharp eye out for uny change of wind. Bhortly after 2:30 both boats went on a long port tack, and when at 3:17 Shamrock put about to meet Columbla it was evident that it still had a slight lead, for it forced the de- fender about. Having done this Sham- rock again went about on the port tack with the evident hope of fetching the line, now about & mile away. Columblia kept on a couple of minutes longer and then fol. lowed its rival. It was in the windward berth, but well astern, and the lead of the Englishman was unmistakable. Both boats were belng ealled for all there wi in them, and they went through the water ot a speed remarkable for the wind thay w~as then blowing.

Mr. Greene said “What impressed me the most on this rio | wag the evidences of the unprecedented prosperity of the country. The trains were flled with travelers, the sleeping cars sold long in advance and hotel accommoda tions had to be secured several days In advance. 1 remained at Hoston longer than I intended, because I could not find anv hotels at the coust which could accommo date me “I was at the Mount Pleasani house in | the White mountains when President Me Kinley was shot. Naturally everything | turned upon the result of that awful crime. I never realized until then the universal popularity of Mr. McKinley with all classes. There has been a change in New England You no longer hear any criticism of the | Insular policy of the government such as was heard before the last clection. When it | became known that Mr. McKinley must die talk naturally turned upon his successor. The New England people looked upon Roosevelt with hope. They felt that he was a competent man, a Nttle impulsive and given to the strenuous life, maybe, but one who by breeding and training was fitted for the position fate had assigned to him. The sentiment generally was that Mr, Roosevelt would make one of our best pres- 1dents. “The day of McKinley's funeral was most impressive in New York. Unless one had | experienced it they could hardly realize the sensation produced by an absolute sus- | pension of all business and trafic for the | few moments they were suspended In that great city.

Coon iIs Satisfied with Prospect—He Will Return in the Spring. Charles B. Coon, who has been In and around Cape Nome for the last few months, has returned to Omaha and will remain until next spring, when he will go back to the gold fields. Mr. Coon is favorably impressed with the Nome country and believes the outlook 18 better than ever before. “Nome,” he ¥8, “is a great town, quiet and orderly. The laws are obeyed and people are safe on the strects, either day or night. Nome has a population of 5,000 people; many Bood stores and business houses have heen ereeter.” “Mr. Coon reached Nome late in June and had iittle time to work, owing to the backwardness of the scason, but is pleased with what he accomplished in the Bluo Stone company's mine. “All the Omaba people there are doing well,” sald Mr. Coon. “John Sheean and Tom White have struck a good thing near Central City. While the country has been prospected right up to the Arctic ocean, many good claims have been abandoned and others equally as good have not been touched. Back of Nome for hundreds of miles there s a rich minernl belt and when it 1s developed many %28 discoveries will. be made. The into the gold rush country this year has been nothing like if was Jast year, though more than 6,000 reople have gone in. Many are now leav. ing, though most of them will return in the spring.” In speaking of beach mining, Mr. Coon sald: “‘SBome people say this does not pay. That s not true. During the last season many have become rich working the sands along the shore of the ocean. I have seen as high as $10 a pan taken out of the sand.” FRANK MURPHY IS AT HOME Returns from Eastern Trip, but Falls to Bring Definite News Concern- & dation Enterprise, Frank Murphy returned from New York yesterday and brought back with him no Information for the public on the sub- ject of the consolidation of the electrie lines of the city. Mr. Murphy sald: “I know nothing that can be said for publication on the subject of the consolida- tlon of the olectric lines of the city. The newspapers had it that I was in Now York for the purpose of advancing this matter, but this was a mistake. It was other busi- ness which took me to New York and I did not see any of the persons connected with the consolidation scheme while I was away. I could have seen them, and had no objection to seelng them, but I was 8o bu with other affalrs that I had no time to make unnecessary calls, “There has been talk of options expiring, but strictly speaking there was no option to expire.
