A thick d the water and obscured the hts except from close ant proceeded slowly the lightship, making several es in her sail parently for the of practicing the crew: Eleven o’clock was the hour set for the race. At that time the breeze had begun to freshen and the haze was growing less. The two yachts maneuvered about the starting point for a few minutes. They carried the same canvas, consisting of fore sta Both il, jib, mainsail and club topsai boats had white bodies and their crews were dressed in rigs of the same col To landsmen on exc n boats the two contestants looked st ngly alike and spectators were in some perplexity to distinguish them as they passed back ana The starting line was marked by cotland lightship and the judges’ ex-Commodore E. M. Brown’s steam- vlvia. Shortly after 11 o’clock the Sylvia dis- played signals announcing that the race would be a beat to windward and back. At 11:20 o'clock the first gun was fired, The yachts had ten minutes in which to get in positibn for the start, and promptly at 11:30 the second gun was heard, leaving two minutes’ allowance for the yachts to cross the line. Just as the gun spoke the Defender and Vigilant broke out baby jib topsai Both yachts were well placed and moving toward the line witk all sail diawing in the freshening breeze. The Defender was in advance and a little toward the windward. She crossed at 11:30:25, the Vigilant following at 11:30:50. Both were on the port tack as they crossed the line, but the Defender almost immediately put about on the starboard tack. For five minutes the yachts sailed 7 from each other at an angle of 75 de- grees. At 11:45 the Vigilant went on to the starboard tack, and almost at the same moment the Defender shifted to the port tack, and the two sailed toward each other. Three minutes later they crossed, and both went about almost simultaneously and began to sail away from each other again. A moment later the Defender again tacked and headed up closer to the wind, and the two yachts started for a long beat on the starboard tack. At this point it was evident thatthe Deéfender had increased the lead she hadat the start. The breeze was still rather light, but was freshening steadily. The, Vigilant appeared to be sailing somewhat closer to the wind than the Defender, but the latter had a much better windward po- slltfou. On this tack the Defender gained a little. At 12:12 both yachts changed to the port tack. The wind in the meantime had been rising and ,was now blowing a good sailing breeze. Captain Haff decided to take in the Defender’s jib topsail, which was drawing scarcely at all. There was some trouble with the halyards and it took several minutes to get in the sail. The Defender, which had been half a mile ahead, lost about a quarter of a mile owing to this hitch. After the difficulty was over the Defender footed just as fast with- out the sail as she did with it. Some of the vachtsmen among the spectators as- serted that the Vigilant’s jib topsail was acting as a backsail and ought also to be taken in, but Captain Barr clung to it for some time longer and here again the De- fender drew away a little. At 12:25 o'clock the Defender made a | short tack to starboard, butin two minutes | went about again. This maneunver looked | like an unsuccessful attempt to take the | Vigilant’s wind. At 12:43 the Vigilant’s topsail was hauled in and both yachts | were again under the same canvas. A | good stiff breeze was now blowing, and the | Defender was about five- minutes in the lead. She was gaining steadily and a bet | was made on one of the excursion boats that she would win by forty minutes. Earlier in the day there had been some betting on the Defender at 100 to 40. At | 12:50 the Defender went on the starboard tack and four minutes later the windward, but in the free run home it was about an even thing. The time shows that the Defender gained only 45 seconds in the 15 miles. = The interest that was shown in the day’s race was as great as has been manifested in the trial races and the international con- tests themselves, although there was nothing decisive in the race and the real trial races remain to be sailed later on. Crowds gathered at Atlanti¢ Highlands, Long Branch and the other watering- places along the Jersey coast to walch the racers as they passed the several points. The haze prevented the spectators from getting more than a temporary glimpse of the boats. The watchers at Asbury Park were rewarded by seeing them round the stakeboat, but in a moment they had dis- appeared in the mist again. Those who went down from New York and vicinity had an excellent opportunity of viewing the race. The racers were fol- lowed over the course by alarge fleet of yachts, steamers,excursion-boats and small craft of various sorts. The United Press reported the race from a special tug, which followed the yachts, and from which homing pigeons were re- leased every few minutes. The birds flew to their cote at Seabright, on the Jersey coast, opposite the course, and an operator followed suit. In the stiffer breeze that was now blowing the Defender failed to | | maintain the advantage she had shown earlier in the race. She heeled over rather more than the Vigilant, and the latter seemed to gain a little on the next two tacks. end of the 15-mile course the Defender was leading by about three and a half minutes. As the leader she was compelled to search out the flag, which was not a very conspic- uous object, and in consequence Captain Haff found it necessary to makea short extra tack to round it, thereby allowing the Vigilant to cut down the Defender’s | |lead a little. The Defender rounded at 1:35 and the Vigilant at 1:37. Both boats | were somewhat slow in changing their | sails for the run home before the wind. The Defender was the quicker of the two and gained by it. Her balloon jib topsail was broken out at1:39 asd four minutes later her spinnaker was set. The Vigilant’s spinnaker was set at the same moment, and two minutes later she broke her other balloon jib topsail. The leeward run was a flying one for both boats. They had their booms to starboard and their spinnakers to port. The Defend- er's immense 150-foot boom and great mainaail seemed to give her a lift to star- board, with her spinnaker cocked up at a perceptible angle. The Vigilant flew on on an even keel, with her sails wing and wing. Neither could gain much advan- tage. The Vigilant held her own gallantly, and the Defender could not increase her lead perceptibly. All the way down the 15emile home- stretch the two yachts kept the same rela- tive positions. As they neared the finish the speed at which they were going was shown by the difficulty the Sylvia had in getting ahead of the Defender. She had followed the racers, and had to put on all steam to reach her position opposite the lightship and drop anchor a few moments before the Defender crossed the line. The Defender finished at 2:49:05 and the Vigilant at 2:52:15. All the small craft about the finish blew their whistles as the yachts crossed, and the crowds on the ex- cursion-boats cheered both boats. The Vigilant returned after the race to her anchorage in the horseshoe, while the Defender proceeded up the bay in tow of a tug to City Island, where she dropped anchor. In general, it may be said that the De.. fender easily ontfooted the Vigilant in the lighter breeze which prevailed over the first part of the course and more than heid her own throughout the entire beat to As the boats approached the stake at the | | and a special telegraph wire transmitted their messages to New York. In addition | to this bulletins of the progress of the | yachts were sent by observers at Sandy | Hook, Long Branch, Asbury Park, and on THE DEFENDER. the south tower of the Twin lighthouse at Navesink Highlands an observer was sta- tioned with a powerful Lembbe telescope | with & 4-inch lens. He had an operator | ana a special wire to New York at his | elbow. The time of the start and the positions | of the yachts during the run home and | the finish were flashed over the wire to the | press of two continents. JEWELRY IN' THE BOOK By an Accident a Scheme to Evade Paying Duty Was Discovered. Within an Innocent Looking Vol- ume Were Five Pearl and SlI- ver Necklaces. CHICAGO, Iiv., July 20.—The scheme of a Chicago man now traveling in Europe to defraud the Custom-hcuse out of duties | was a novel one and came very near being | successful. It failed, and the Custom- ihouse people are holding five pearl and THE VIGILANT. silver necklaces for the pavment of duties To-day a book, securely wrapped, was received at Postoffice Station H addressed to F. E. O'Brien, 537 West Twelith street. The book was mailed in Italy and carried sufficient stamps. An examination was made to see if it was subject to duty. It was found to be a novel, “The Two Circuits,” and bore the stamp of Mrs. Haines' circulating library on West Madi- son street. The postoffice people regarded it as a book that had been unintentionally taken to Europe and was being returned. ‘While handling the volume it fell out of the clerk’s hands and the fastenings were broken. Picking it up five pearland silyer necklaces tumbled out. The inside of the book had been nearly cut out, leaving a margin of half an inch of the es, and in a soft bed of cotton the necklaces had been placed. The jewelry was turned over to the Custom-house. i e ey Portland De, Tacoma. TACOMA, Wasg., July 20.—In the Pa- cific Northwest Amateur League baseball ame here to-day the Portland A.

By Catching a Crab Fennell Caused the Defeat of the Crew. ROWERS - TREATED ROYALLY. But the Criticism of the British Press Was Unfalr In the Extreme. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 20.—Charles E. Courtney, the coach of the Cornell crew, arrived at guarantine this morning on the steamer New York and was in- tervieed by The United Press representa- tive. The famous Cornell sport, notwith- standing a slight attack of mal de mer, said he had enjoyed the trip immensely and was awfully glad to get back to New York. England, he said, was very nice, but tue United States was good enough for him. Commencing a long conversation with The United Press reporter Courtney said: “I wish to preface my remarks with this statement : I Lave absolutely no excuse to offer for the defeat of the Cornell crew. Fennell ‘caught a crab,” or as I put it, ‘went fishing on his own hook.” Why he did it I of course don’t know, but I do know that he had no business to do so and that his mistake or accident cost us the race. With regard to the treatment we received from the people at Henley of all classes nothing could be finer. It was simply splendid, but we were shamefully treated by the English press.” Courtney then commenced at the first day’s racing and the Leander fiasco. As he was ill in bed from Friday evening until the afternoon of the Tuesday when Cornell was beaten by Trinity Hall, he, of course, could not give the particulars of the actual racing, but a friend of Mr. Courtney, who was on the umpire’s boat, gave the exact description as follows: ‘“Coloner Willan, the umpire, addressed the crews. ‘Now, gentlemen, I will start you this way: I will ask, ““Are you ready?” If I hear no negative I shall say “‘Go.”” Now, then, get ready. Are youready? Go.' “Leander took two strokes and then three negatives went up from two voices on their boat. One man said ‘no’and a second said ‘no.’ Colson, the Cornell cockswain,turned to see where the Leanders were and Colonel Willan waved him on, and on they went.” Courtney said he did not see how the crew under the English racing laws and under Colonel Willan’s instructions could have done otherwise than they did, and that the best class of rowing men agreed that their action in the matter was the only course open to eight intelligent men rowing a race under certain conditions ab- 1 solutely laid dowr. Mr. Layman, coach of the Leander crew, said he was disgusted with the way they (the Leanders) had acted, and told Kent,. the stroke of the boat, that with his experience and knowl- edge of rules he should eertainly have gone on. Pittman of the new college Oxford crew said that the Leanders acted like a lot of babies. The United Press representative then read extracts from the Chicago Associated Press story in the New York World of Thursday, July 11, the morning after the race, in which four or five 6f the Cornell crew are reported as fainting in groups, groping blindly for their oars, going to pieces one after the other, ready to faint, at intervals getting rattled like schoolboys. Fennell was represented as suffering from valvular affection of the heart, which caused a big lump on his left side, and to have been in a dead faint at the bottom of the boat when the crew struggled past the judge’s boat, and Trinity Hall is reported as having leads varying from a half length to seven or eight lengths passing the mile post. Courtney was completely thunder- struck at these statements and for a moment could scarcely control his indig- nation. “It is a false and malicious Jie. There is nota vestige of truth from beginning to end in it with the exception of the crab caught by Fennell, and I cannot under- stand how anybody could have made such a report. As I said before, I was unable to see the race, but I am able to give you the description as given to me by eyewitnesses and by Colson, the coxswain, and by other members of the crew. “We had the Berks side of the course, which is admitted to be a disadvantage of at least three lengths in comparison with the Bucks shore, and got off a little faster than the Trinity Hall. At the top of Re- menham Island we led by a man and con- tinued to go ahead until we led by half a length at Fawley Court. “At the three-quarter mile mark the Cambridge crew gained about a quarter of a length, and coming up to the mile we were on even terms. At the mile the Trin- ity Hall boat had her nose in front, dnd then Fannell caught a crab, the others stopped, and Trinity Hall went ahead and won. Fannell bruised his groin badly with one oar, and though able to pull well enough could not recover without pain. At no time did Fannell faint, eitner dur- ing or after the race. Not another man in the crew met with any kind of accident or collapse, and the whole story is a fake. ‘Why, Colston told me that if Fennell had not caught that crab they wouid have won hands down. **As for Freeborn, Hall, Spillman and Louis they were the mainstays of the boat and pulled as strong an oar at the mile as they ever pulled. Hager, Dyer and Fen- nell suffered from diarrhea caused by the change of water for some days before the race, but I took the boys’ word for it that they were in condition to row, and so they were, and if Fennell had not gone crab- fishing we would have won. Fennell suffered quite s gaod deal and had a doctor for three days after, but he was neverin a serious condition and he left for Londow with Spillman the day I started for South- ampton. This is the simple story and.any otheris a lie.” The continual harping on the fast stroke of the American tends to make Courtney very tired of cranks who seem to use the | idea as a kind of sign manual of their ex- pert knowledge. He says that Cornell was no! init for fast rowing with New College, Oxford, or the Dutch crew at Henley, and that in the trial of one mile and five hundred and yards between Cornell and Leander the former only ‘rowed seven strokes more than their opponents for the whole dis- tance. 4 In conclusion Courtney said, “Our treat- ment by Oxford and Cambridge men could not be excelled in any way, and every courtesy that could be shown was given us both by them and the peopleof Henley, and though I suffered the first defeat in my thirteen years with Cornell crews, I will always regard my first visit to Eng- land with feelings of intense gratification.”” The Cornell crew will return on the American liner St. Louis, leaving South- ampton on the 27th inst. DISSENSION IN A PARISH. Trouble én Tolede Over the Dismissal of a Teacher. TOLEDO, O=ro, July 20.—Serious dis- sensions very similar in character to the troubles that prevailed in the Polish Cath- olic congregation in Omaha, Cleveland and Chicago recently bid fair to disrupt the ‘parish of 8t. Hedwig in this city. They are the outcome of the discharge by the pastor, Rev. 8. J. Wieczorek, of the parish schoolteacher. The indiscreet friends of the latter attempted to commit an assault, it is alleged, on the priest, and one of them narrowly escaped being shot by Father Wieczorek. Half of thecongregation has taken up the cudgel in behalf of the deposed teacher, and, spurred on by the Kurjer, a Polish paper, threaten to exterminate the priest and all those opposed to the teacher’s in- cumbency. The police, fearing a repetition of the bloody riots of 1886, have taken action, but it is a question whether or not they will be able to curb the fiery sons of Kosciusko. A letter, «aid to have been written by Rev. Wieczorek, threatening the malcon- tents with summary vengeance, has only added fuel to the flame. Bishop Horsi- man has been appealed to to remove ‘Wieczorek, but it is said he has taken no action. WITH SUNRISE PRAYER Opening of the Convention of the Young Baptists of Amerlca. Promlinent Clergymen Participate in the Interesting Order of Exerclses. BALTIMORE, Mp., July 20.—The third day of the convention of the Baptist Young People of America began with sun- rise prayer-meetings in several Baptist churches at half-past 6 this morning. They were conducted by prominent out-of-town clerymen, and the attention of the dele- gates to devotional exercises at the tent at 9:30 o’clock attracted about 7000 persons. The heat was intense in the inclosure. Rev. B. D. Gray of Birmingham, Ala., conducted the opening services. Rev. H. W. Reed of the executive committee made a report from the committee on miscel- laneous business, in which he announced the decision of the board of managers, reached late last night, which gives to Mil- waukee, Wis., next year’s annual conven- tion and to Brooklyn, N. Y., the conven- tion of 1897. This is the first year that the board of managers has been called upon to decide where the convention shall be held two years hence. ' This was the result ofa keen appreciation of the fact that one year’s notice would scarcely give the local committee time to make adequate prepa- rations now that the union has grown to such a size. Mr. Reed also stated that hereafter ap- lications for convention privileges must ge filed in writing with the board of man- agers, and that the wire-pulling and butkzmholing. 50 conspicuous in the eon- test just decided, would not be tolerated in the futuré. The awarding of the convention to Mil- waukee and Brooklyn was with the pro- viso that if the tratfic associations do not make favorable rates for the delegates by the 1st of October the executive committee of the union shall have the power to change the meeting place of the conven- tion. e On the Diamond.

The famous Cornell ex- pert, notwithstanding a slight attack of mal-de-mer, said he enjoyed the trip im- mensely, but was awfully glad to get back to New York. England, he said, was very nice, but the United States was good enough for him. Mr. Courtney will leave for Ithaca to-night. retEAl i Californiams in New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 20.—The trial brush between the Defender and Vigilant dominated everything in the neighborhood of the me- tropolis to-day, and Commodore Harry M. Gil- lig ran down from Larchmont on the Ramona for the occasion with a party that included a number of Californians. Commodore Gillig has proved a very popular flag officer for the Larchmont Club. He has entertained exten- sively, and the annual cruise of the squadron ‘was brought to & close Friday night in a verit- able blaze of glory, in the shape of & general illumination of the fleet, an idea that origina-~ ted with Mr. Gillig. In addition to the display on the yachts, hundreds of lightsin the club colors were set afloat in the water with pecu- liarly weird and beautiful effect. D.O.

Identity of the Passenger Dis- covered by the Doctor Upon Arrival. HOWARD GOULD ALSO RETURNED And So Did Marshall Wilder With a Brand New Joke, Don’t You Know. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 20.—The American liner New York arrived to-day with 423 passengers in her saloon and 358 in her steerage. Like the Irish railroad guard “who had a passenger aboard that he left behind,” Purser Jones had ‘‘a man aboard who was a woman.”” He, or rather she, was Mrs. Hannah Nystrom, a Russian Finn, and she occupied a berth in the steerage in the section set apart for men. Mrs. Nystrom boarded the New York at Southampton. She was clad in the heavy, high-top boots generally worn by her countrymen, which were creased and lay in folds over the instep and ankle, a long frock coat, a thick double-breasted vest, a bright-hued neckherchief, knotted twice under her chin, and cap of the most pro- nounced Russian vintage. Rather above than under the average height, and with hair just long enough to coat the collar of her surtout with a layer of pomatum made of sheep tallow and scented with bergamot oil, she passed easily for what she professed to be—a young Russian immigrant. Her identity was not discovered until she was marshaled with the others before the ship’s doctor for vaccination. When ordered to bare her right arm for the sur- geon’s lancet she refused, and in the dis- cussion that followed her sex was revealed. Breaking through the line that came across the passageway separating the doctor’s quarters from the section set apart for the unmarried males she attempted to climb over the railing of the bridge leading to the forecastle. She not only ran likea woman, but her climb was feminine. The good-looking young woman wasa wife and mother, who, according to her statement to Captain Jansen, adopted the disguise to escape from a cruel husband. Mrs. Nystrom was sent to the unmarried women’s station and will be allowed to land assoon asshe has provided herself with an outfit becoming her sex. Among others on the New York was Howard Gould, who' returns from a trip abroad, where he has raced his big single- sticker Niagara against the yachts of royalty and titled personages.” He was met by his steam yacht, The Neaira, at the pier, and taken at once to Ardsley, his country seat at Irvington. Marsball Wilder hung over the port rails on the promenade-deck asthe New York swung into her dock, in the same attitude and about the same as he was last seen on the Paris when that vessel left for Europe on May 29, and only lefi his perch when the vessel was made fast to shake hands with A. A. Andruss, the actor, and to say, “I've got 8 new one, Bert. It'sa button- starter. I told it to Aibert Edward, you know, the Prince of Wales, and he’s laugh- ing yet.” BOISE MURDER MYSTERY, Matt Crump Confessed That He Falsely Accused Mrs. Ronan. ‘The Woman Was Discharged and the Witness Held to Answer for the Crime. BOISE, Ipawo, July 20.—The preliminary hearing of Mrs. Ronan, charged with the murder of her husband, Thomas Ronan, near Payette, on May 13 last, Yook place at Caldwell to-day. Matt Crump, the hired man at the Ronan ranch at the time of the murder, who made a _statement while confined in the Payette jail to the effect that he saw Mrs. Ronan on the night of the murder strike_her husband on the head with an ax, killing him, broke completely down under the cross-examination of the de- fense and confessed that every word in the statement was untrue. He then claimed the statement was made under duress, Charles Eldredge, the guard at the jail, threatening to kill him if he would not make the statement. After considerable rsuasion and threats he finally yielded and signed the statement, on the strength of which Mrs. Ronan was accused of the foul deed. In his alleged confession he said he was only twenty-five feet from the scene at the time of the murder. In the hearing to-day it was shown that he stopped at the house of Russell Smith, a farmer, several miles away. G Immediately at the conclusion of the testimony Mrs. Ronan was discharged on motion of the prosecution, and Crump was charged with the murder of Ronan. The case has attracted wide attention throughout the State and officers have been scouring the country in search of the murderer, for whom $1000 reward is offered. Rt Played Ball on Sunday. CHICAGO, ILr., July 20.—Justice Ball this morning rendered a decision in' the case of the Civic Federation vs. the Chicago Baseball Club. The case was tried two weeks ago.
