The electric burnishers were discarded trials, for the men found that they could do the work faster and better by hand.

Sept. 20.—The military organized in this city in Decem- 1ow | ber last will be mustered in as new Com- and will form a part of the Third Brigade. Hon. Charles A. Swisler of this city has| Ito | watches, one working all night and the the division of the crew inte two other working all day. When the Sham- | rock was first exposed to view every one | was of the opinion that her lead keel was not covered with metal, similar to Jeroics | the Columbia’s, but when the underbody | was polished off {t was seen that the lead was protected by sheet copper, over which a coating of red anti-corrosive paint had | been put. To-day the copper was polished up well and the very bottom sheets were glven a coat of dark red paint. The work | of polishing up the Columbia’s hull will | take at least another day, as at 5 o'clock this afternoon, when the men quit work, there was still considerable surface about the bilges that had not been touched. The Columbia, therefore, will not be floated out of the dock until Monday morning. | The new bobstay for the Columbia #r- | rived from the Herreshoffs’ works last night and to-day Rigger Billman and his went to work putting it in place. | The new piece of wire rope is about one |and one-quarter inches In ({ ameter, slight- ly larger than the one which broke last | week and as it had been given a two- hundred-ton test before it was sent here from Bristol it should carry. the boat through the races. When the bobstay had been secured at each end the slack was ! taken llq by turning the bowsprit out- board. There Is still a chance to work the bowsprit out six or seven inches, and when the wire stay stretches more tue slack will be taken up. The port side of the Columbia was given a coat of fresh white paint and the star- board side will be repainted to-morrow. The top sides of the Shamrock were painted a delicate shade of green also to-day so that both craft will go into the races as they were originally painted not- withstanding the theory that there was a loss of speed by so doing. Among the most interested of the spectators that saw {the Columbia to-day were Captains Archie Hogarth and Wringe and Sailmaker Rat- sey of the Shamrock. These gentlemen | were plloted to the navy yard by Painter | Mitchell, who had been superintending the painting of the Irish yacht, and §Iale | Allen of the American boat met them just | outside the yard. | _At the drydock the party found Captain | Barr and Measurer John Hyslop and for an hour the rival captains talked over the ative merits of the two boats and viewed the Columbia’s hull at close quar-~ | ters.. The Englishmen did not care to | express any opinion other than to say that | the Columbia was a fine looking craft. Besides repainting the topsides and | scouring the hull of the Shamrock there | was considerable other work done about the boat. Most important of all was the | putting on of a new bobstay. Designer | Fife evidently™did not care to run the risk of carrying that important plece of rigging away during a race and instead of having the new stay a single wire rope it was made double and was wound for more than half its length with marlin to prevent chafing. There was some talk about the Erie basin that the Shamrock would be floated out of the dock to-mor- row afternoon and as the craft is about ready there may be some truth in the rumor, but John M. Hyslop, official meas- urer of the New York Yacht Club, said this afternoon that he would put the tape to the two boats next Monday. He will | first measure the Columbia at the navy yard before she leaves the drydock and then will board the Shamrock’s tug, Law- rence, and go around to the Erie basin to measure the TIrish cutter. Put Up a Poor Mill. CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—The fight between | “Mysterious” Billy Smith and Billy Stift of Chicago was declared a draw after six rounds of very poor work by both men. | Neither was disposed to do any fighting, and they were continually iaughing during the clinches. The crowd was vociferous in its disapproval and continually yelled “fake.”” Stift landed three good blows during the contest and Smith but one. po NEW YORK OUTPLAYS PHILADELPH'A NINE By Winning Two Games From Wash- ington, Boston Ties the Phillies for Second Place.

Frank Bo- gash took second money and William Mac third. The track was fast, but the weather was chilly. About 3500 people were pres- ent. A gale was blowing up the stretch and the horses were compelled to face it as they made the finish. ~Searchiight paced the first mile in 2:04%, within a half-second of his record, making the first and last quarters In :30%, a 2:01 clip. ank Bogash finished second in the first . a length behind Searchlight, with William Mac thir They were the only starters.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Jack O'Brien of this city is now entitled to meet Frank Erne for the lightweight championship, as he knocked out Tom Kearns of Boston at the New Broadway Athletic Club to- night. They met for a twenty-five-round £0 at 135 pounds, but Kearns received his quietus in the thirteenth round, after hav- ing all the worst of the argument from the beginning. In the final round Kearns was so badly beaten that he dropped his guard and O'Brien swung his right to the mark. Kearns dropped helplessly, and it was fully ten minutes before he regained consciousness. A match between Erne and O'Brien will soon be arranged. To-night Tom O’Rourke made a bet of §2500 at even on O’Brien, and Erne's new manager, Bobby Smith took up the Krne end of the bet. Each bettor posted $500 in the hands of *‘Honest John” Kelly to bind the wager. + Newman’s Nero Poisoned. The dog poisoner has added another vie- tim to his list. This time it is Charles Newman's great rough-coated St, Ber- nard Nero. The body of the canine was found stiff and stark yesterday morning in the yard in the rear of the Newman residence, 710 McAllister street. The con- ditlon of the c: showed undoubt- edly that poison had been used on the dog. Nero was one of a number of high class dogs owned by Mr. Newman. He was five years old and cost $1000. His owner suffered considerably from dog stealers and poisoners, and of late has been keeping a watchful eye on his pets. Within the past month Nero's kennel mate, Lion, was stolen twice, but was re- covered each time. These attacks on his dogs led Mr. Newman to turn Lion over to his brother, and the fact that he was not in the yard with Néro Thursday night was probably all that saved him from a similar fate.
