On this new tack Captain Wringe again gave his boat a good full and it cut through | Reliance's lead at an alarming galt, but all to no purpose, Shamrock Hopelessly Outclassed. Pinched into the wind or with a rap full, Bhamrock was hopelessly outclassed. After half an hour's turn off shore they safled toward Long Branch for half an hour. Captain Barr attempted to make a hitch oft shore but Shamrock would not follow and he took Reliance around again to keep the challenger company. Meanwhile Re- lMance had steadily gained and when at 3:10 both boats headed off to the mark #ix miles away, Rellance was a good mile ahead and geining. Heeling to a freshening wind and jumping into a rising sea, which at times threw their long bows high out of water, to come down with a splash that sent miniature clouds of foam flying from under their powerful shoulders, the boats were making a pretty spectacle ot it. They were gaining in speed with every mile and Shamirock Tt was a long mile astern when Reliance whirled about the mark and low- ering stretches of canvas broke and bellied out from its spinnaker pole and over its les bow. The homeward stretch had begun. The boats werc timed at the turn as fol- | lows: Reliance, 3:40:35; Shamrock, 3:51:46. Reliance had gained eleven minutes and ihree seconds in the thresh to windward, barring accidents, the victory was ' Reliance’s Sail Split. As the boats started to run homeward under spinnakers and balloon jio topsalls & split about three feet long appeared in the foot of Rellance's spinnaker, but as it drew well Captain Barr continued to carry it. For three-quarters of an hour the unly variation was & slow galn by'tae leauing boat. Shamrotk ran along for five minutes more with the sun glinting upun Ats saile, untll the fog bank reached it and it dis- appeared from sight. As the fog caught the L the southeast, smothered its spinnaker and iéaned o the wind through the mist.. The two racers safled in that dangsrous fabhion at top speed for an hour. Mean- time Navigator, carrying the regatta com- '!;('ue, hunted for the iightship to estab- Hish the finish line. it was 5:30 before it was found and ihe fleet began to gather around Navigator. All was a wall of fog. Ten minutes they walted. Then Rellance, heeling before the wind, Its salls bellyiug bard and its lee ralis dragging up the spindrift, burst through the fog upon the vision of the expectant watchers on the little exgursion fleet. Out of Fus to Vietory. Hardly had they recognized the familidr features of the American craft when, with its great balloon §ib topsall fluttering into the arms of the nimble members of its crew out on its bowsprit, the defender fied across the line down through the lane of yachts to victory. The whistles of every craft In the fleet opened wide In recagnition of its achiave- meat, The delighted yachtsmen canced about the deck of J. P, Morgan's big black steam yaeht Corsaiy and hilarlously con- gratulated ohe another. Reliance's tus | searched the fleet for the racer and then towed it through it with yachiing enalgns flytng from its mast and spreaders, while simiiar flags appeared at various parts of the spars and rigging of Corvsair and the whisties of the ficet agaln saluted the defender. Meantime the regatta commit- tee's tug whistled its signals to the miss- ing Shamrock. Rellance had crossed the lne at 6:80:02 and it was after ¢ o'clock when the fog lifted & bit and disclosed the challenger hove to north of the line. Cap- tain Wringe had missed the line in the fog and pagsed by to the east of it. Sham- rock did not attempt to cross the line, but after a feeble salute from the fleet was taken in tow to the Hook, The fleet started for home apd the series of races in defepse of America's cup for 1903 were ended, and American genius, bralns and scamanship were once more triumphant.

When asked regarding his opinion as to the merits of San Francisco harbor as a course for an international yacht race, James D. Phelan, former mayor of Ban Trancisco, who is a close personal friend of Sir Thomas Lipton, stated that in his opinion such a course could not be sur- passed. “There would be no difficulty in providing funds for a speclal trophy," said Mr. Phelan. “I understand that Sir Thomas Lipton is coming to the coast very shortly."

(U Sept. 8.—When Erin had discharged i passengers tonight and the echo of their cheers had died away, Sir Thomas Lipion said: “Two weeks ago I was hopeful, last week |1 knew 1 was doomed to defeat and wad disappointed, but today 1 am almost glad |1 my own defeat—this America has been |such a génerous victor. I want to again {thaok the American people for their gen- erosity to me In my deteat. Asked what his plans are, Sir Thomae sald: “My -crew Is to return to England on Tuesday next and I really ought to go {back by that time myself. I will post out | my engagements in & day or two and then | determine what I shall do. I will attend a |@inner in New York tomorrow night, and half promised to be Mr. Woodruff's guest {n Brooklyn and go to the New York state falr, but that is not absolutely certain. It is possible I may have to start for home next week." Asked what he would do with the two Shamrocks, he sald: “I am to meet some people tomorrow who desire to buy at least one of the boats. - After 1 have seen them I will de- termine what to do.” Regarding the defeat of -Shamrock III he simply sald “I don't care to discuss it any more. The American boat was the better, that fs all.” Designer®Fife refused to talk. Captain | Wringe, while agreeable, would not talk further than to say: “We did the best we could, but the other boat was best.” Captain Barr's Opinion. Captain Barr of Rellance sald after the race: “‘Reliance is a beautiful boat. I had all kinds of weather and won in it. Our ad- versaries did the best they. could with the materlal at thelr command." J. P. Morgan's,yacht, Corsalr, stopped at the Hook and took C. Oliver Iselin aboard. Mr. Iselin was all smiles as he replied to an inquiry as to the result “Ot course I am proud of the result. A splendid boat, a splendid crew and captain. All helped the result. Sin Thomas made a brave effort and deserved better luck, but every American should be glad the cup is to stay here.” Sir Thomas and Mr. Iselin exchanged visits tonight and 8ir Thomas extended congratulations. Lendon Acecepts Inevital LONDON, Bept. 3.—The final defeat of Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger, Sham- rock III, was received in London with ab- solute listlessness. Most of the afternoon papers published a special eddition an- | nouncing the result, but the announcement had already been discounted. by the dls- {patches giving the progress of the race. The consensus of opinion is that Sir Thomas Lipton has done everything that time and money can accomplish and wide- spread pathy for him is shown. The chief hopé éxpressed on the street Is that Canada will enter the lists next vear and succeed where the mother country has falled. It seems improbable that in view of the fallure of Shamrock ITI another challenger will soon be be dispatched from England GLASGOW, Sept. 3§.—The announcement {of Rellance's victory ‘was received here with & fecling akin to relef that the long drawn contest was ended.

VICE PRESIDENT IS TO INTERVENE Internatidnal Organization Must Con- trol the Men or Operators Will Not Treat with that Body. KANBAS CITY, Sept. 8.—James Mooney, the district leader who is regarded as re- sponsible for the Novinger coal strike, is assertel to be holding out against John Mitéhell to further his slleged aspirations for the presidency of the United Mine Workers of America. Mr. Mooney has, it 18 stated, worked at cross purposes With President Mitchell ever aince the Pittsburg (Kan.) conference, two months ago, when Mitchell went so far as to tell Mooney to sit down and keep still. In any event, the situation in the Novinger district promises to furnish an interesting fight. Now that the miners there have violated the agrees ment reached by President Mitchell and the mine owners at Chicago recently, the operators say they will make no effort to conclliate the strikers. The operators, fur- termore, have told the national board of the United Mine Workers that they ex- pect the board to control its own men, and if it falls to do o, they will be unable to deal with the officers of the national or- ganization at the Kansas City conference next week, when it was hoped all differ- ences would be wiped out. Thus the situa- tion has developed Into a cuestion of au- thority. If the men still refuse to go to work’ after Vice President T. J. Lewls of Bridgeport, 0., who has been sent into the fleld by Presidént Mitchell, talks with the strikers, the next move, it is said, may he the suspension of Mooney and the local unfons involved.

McClel- land to Cripple Creek to investigate the conditions there and will not send troops to the gold district until the report of these officers is received, unless some overt act should make Immediate action necessary. Sherift Robertson said today that he thought there would be very few violations of law resulting from the miners' strike and he would not at present ask for troops, although the mine owners have demanded protection for their properties. PROBLEM OF THE RACES Subject of an Address Delivered by John Temple Graves at Chicago. CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Mr. John Témple Graves of Georgia delivered an address on “The Problem of the Races" this morning before the fbrty-elghth convocation of the University of Chicago. He sald In part: The prejudice of race is a polnting of Providence and the antagonism of peoples is the fixed policy by which God peoples the different portions of the universe and establishes the individuality of the nations. The act that brought these people to- gother on this continent was a sin of the ‘wthers, a sin of greed, an inquity of trade, | and the sorrow and suffering of the present |is for the sin of the past-a sin aganst | nature and a sin against (God, 'The curse |ean be lifted only when nature 18 vin- | dicated and God fs obeyed.

It was whispered about also that there was even A caka for which to walk. The local knights put a team into the arill also, but the dope-makers from the first did not look for the Omaha drillers to strike ofl—which in this case was a memento of the celebra- tlon—for the easy reason that the Missourl proposition is the goods.

The Inhabitants of the village of Nevolkas, near Florina, were while on their way to Fiorina after hav- ing surrendered on a guarantee of im- munity.

It was the rustling of dainty skirts, and the soft stepping of lightly clad feat, and the ripple of gentle laughter, and the half- whispered exchange of greetings, and open- ing of carriage doors, and all the well bred confusion *ne* attends the .assembling to- gether within a few moments of a large number of people accustomoed to the waye of polite soclety. It was the first night of the season at the Boyd, and the event was made the occasion for the appearance at the theater of just that wort of audience people are accustomed to see there. It was a fashionable audience, in spots it even went so far as tosacrifice personal comfort to the rigors of convention in the matter of dress; but it was mainly out to be pleased, and during the course of the evening It gave both ocular and auricular evidence of the pleasure it felt. Some of the young persons who found thelr colgn of vantage high in the gallery were even 80 insistent as to demand that certain things be done over several times atter the more decorous people who sit lower down In the house had had enough and were planly wiling to go on with the "next feature. For “The Prince of Pilsen” is a serles of features and' slides from one to another with a faclle grace o that one handly notes the modulation, and is still lost in rapt enjoyment of #he one while he is being stirred to new Interest by ane other. It certainly would ‘o invidious to single | out one of the good things and say it is | better than the rest. If popular acclaim be the test, “The American Girl,” the song of the cities, made the hit last night then Mr. Dandy's new topical song, “It is the Dutch,” wasn't far Wehind, and, in the language of the horseman, the Dandy song | had to stick out its tongue to lead “The | Tale of a Sea Shell” at the wire. In point |of lyric beauty, “The Message of the | Violet,” “The Stein Song," *‘Heldleberg," and “Pictures in the Smoke" are rarely sur- passed, and the ensemble pleces are just what one looks for in a popular musical comedy of the day—light, full of catchy turns in the music, and nonsensical in the words, Arthur Donaldson’s splendid bari- tone voice gives the listener much pleasure when he lets it out, but he has a habit of singing his subdued passages through closed lips, adding a nasal quality to his tones that destroys much of thelr resonance and melody. Miss Peebles’ volce i8 not overly strong, but is sweet and used with taste. Miss Forrest and Mr. Taylor sang | thelr duet most chamingly, and were de- cldedly well recaived in it. The finale of this song has been most fittingly rear- ranged. Jess Dandy is all that one would ask for in Hans Wagner, and if Trixie Frigansa left anything undone that would add to the ef- fectiveness. of her role of the widow, it wasn't discerhible. Nick Long and Idalens Cotton do thefr parts’ with & dush that is refreshing. The plece is néwly staged, and with bright new costumes and some new ‘figures In the movements of the competent chorus, presents a continual Succession of delightful pictures, set to pleasing musio. The engagement lasts until after Baturday night. RAILROAD TRESTLE * FALLS Six Persons Killed and Many Injured by Wreek on Southern Ratlway. CHARLOTTE, N.

T0 PROMOTE FAIR EXHIBITS Woman'd Olab Oommittes Meots My Wattles and Prof. Barbour. ( ’ FEDERATION TO AID IN EDUCATIONAL LINE 1t of Conferemce Will Be Re. ported and Acted On at Meeting of Federation Next Month Fremont. Re A _committes representing the thrnw Federation of Womens' clubs met at . yesterday in the directors room of the Uniot National bank, to confer with Chairmau Whattles of the Nebraska commission of the Loulsiana Purchase exposition, and Prof. Erwin H. Barbour of the University of Nebraska, superintendent of the Ne- braska educational exhibit, regarding an educational exhibition by the club women of the state at the St. Louls fair in con- junction with the state exhibit. It has been suggested by Mrs. Phillip N. Moore ot St. Louls, chairman of the local blennial board for the entertalnment of the coming blennial of the General Federation of Womens' clubs, that especial attention be given by club women of the purchase states, to such an exhibit “The Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs Is recognized as one of the chief edu- catlonal agencles of the state,” sald Mr Barbour, “and all that Is necessary fs for the women to know what is wanted and it will be forthcoming.” It is the idea of the eommission to make its exhibit in all departments, one of ideas rather than of thinge, and the educational exhibition is calculated to stimulate orig- inality of design; to increase the scope of educational work by making a permanent record of it. In addition to a collection of the year books of the various «labs which fllustrate the line of work nov. being car ried. Prof. Barbour suggested that original poems and storfes be written and illus- trated; original musie, designs for book covers and Iike records of orginal educa tional work be prepared. An especial effort is being made by the Nebraska Daughters of the American Revolution to collect data concerning the state's connection with the purchase history. They may also be invited to contribute to the exhibit $ The result of the conference will be re- ported to the coming meeting of the fed- eration to be held at Fremont in October, when it will be declded what part the women will take. Mr. Barbour has agreed to address the conventlon on the subject and present his suggestions, which may be carried out in case the plan is accepted. e tape————— NOT OF SALVATION = ARMY Persons Collecting Funds for Various Objects in Omaha and Out in State.
