Is Decided. Leav- | America, for he had heard much from his father about the craft that came over from America to England forty-eight years ago and captured the cup that the Shamrock has come over to “lift” this | year. When the America was on the other side Mr. Ratsey’s father saw the craft fre- quently and got his first idea about build- ing sails that would set flatter than the | type of the English safls, which were cut | baggy at that time. The elder Ratsey | was following the same vocation that his | fathers had followed for generations be- | fore, that of sallmaking, ana he admitted | the America o much that he had a model | r‘n:{de which is in the Ratsey office to this | 4 | When the America came back to her anchorage at 2 o'cldck Sir Thomas sig- | naled for his launch and came over to | the Associated Press yacht Wanda. After greeting those on board, Sir Thomas' first words were: “Isn’t it singular that we | always get a strong breeze after a race | day? The owner of the Shamrock, when scen later by the Associated Press representa- | | tive on board his steam yacht Erin, said | he would like to have a strong breeze for | | the contest on Tuesday so that the two | boats could finish a race, for if they did no do so pretty soon he would have to | build a house on Bandy Hook. He men- | tioned a dispatch he had erceived from Johns, N. F., begging him to come down there and sail the races, “where there is | plenty of wind and lots of water.” Sir Thomas said the crew of his yacht | were as happy as larks, and they were | eager to have a try at the Columbia in a Stiff breeze, for they were more confldent an ever of winning the cup, now that had shown how speedy the Sham- | in light air. | spatch came to Sir Thomas this af- ternoon from Weather Forecaster Will- | iams of the Weather Bureau in Washing- ton, announcing that a heavy northeast gale was moving slowly up the coast from off North Carolina and that 1t would be dangerous for small boats. Lying under the lee of Sandy Hook, the | two racing vachts were well protected from the heavy sea running outside, but still Sir Thomas deemed it advisable to take precautions. His first move was to run over to the Columbia and notify Cap- tain Barr of the warning that he had re- ceived from Washington. He also placed a tug at Barr's disposal if he cared to tow up the harbor out of danger, for the Irish Knight does not want anything to happen to the cup defender any more than | he does to his own boat. Then he came back to the Erin and instructed Captain Matthews to keep steam up all night in case of emergency. He &lso ordered every- thing made snug on the Shamrock for the night. I want to say,” said Sir Thomas, “that 1 shall not leave Sandy Hook until I either win or lose the cup. That is what I came here for, and I shall make it my only busi- n 1 hope for a good stiff breeze next Tuesday, so that the boats can make a race of it, and may the best boat win.” he Shamrock's owner then returned ti the America and joined Mr. Ames and hi at lunch. ral Dewey will not be able to sea Tue race from the Erin. He has so many engagements that he finds it impos- sible to be present, and so telegraphed Sir Thomas to-day. With the Royal Ulster Yacht Club's | pennant flapping at her masthead and the blue ensign of that club at her stern gaf, | the challenger Shamrock pulled hard at her mooring buoy in the H hoe this | afternoon, for a piping nor breeze was whistling through her rigging and there was promise of more wind in the threatening clouds.

Barring accidents, absolutely no change will be made in the challenger. ., She is now, as on Wednesday, in the pink of condition and stands ready to win or lose Her running gear has been carefully overhauled, and it is said cannot be improved upon, while her sails are simply perfection. Sails alone never won a race, but where the yachts are as evenly matched as they are in this case it may mean the extra feather which tips the scale in the Shamrock's favor. Be this as it may, the crew of the green chal- lenger is eagerly looking forward to the next race day, praying for a breeze that will afford a true test of the speed of the hts. If such a day Is granted and the Shamrock fails to win, they will be the most surprised sallor lads that ever swung on a halyard or reefed a sall. In the meantime they are taking matters philo- sophically, are in the best of spirits, and no one can say as yet that their confi- dence in the beautiful Irish yacht is mis- placed, in the ritual at the request of the ad- miral. One of these gave thanks to “Al- mighty God, the sovereign commander of ell the world, in whose hand 18 power and might, which none is able to wtih- stand,” and for “‘all the victories and de- liverances of the past two years.” The others, to which the entire congregation bowed earnestly, offers thanks for ‘‘con- d\wuns safely through the perils of the great deep this worthy servant who now desires to return his thanks unto to thee thy holy church.” The admiral spent the afternoon in making a few calls and this evening took f supper with some old Washington friends, Seek Retirement.

Murphy, Arizona. The busiest of the varfous reception- rooms to-day was that at the Victoria Hotel, where a dozen Congressmen, among them David G.

This is the most stringent given for the control of a holiday crowd. - PRESIDENT ATTENDS RELIGIOUS SERVICES CHICAGO, Oct. S—Sunday was not a day of rest for President McKinley. The center of a city’s festivities and the one desired object of numerous committees and delegations, he was kept busy from the time of the last puff from his after breakfast ¢igar until the last benediction of the religious services which filled the day had been given. During the after- noon and evening he attended three re- ligious services—two in the Auditorium and one in Quinn Chapel, at which latter place he spoke a few words of greeting to the enthusiastic colored congregation there assembled. At the exercises for children in the Auditorium during the afternoon the President, In response to prolonged cheering, said: “I do not like to interrupt the singing of the American hymn by making a speech. I can only express to vou the very great satisfactlon it is to me to wit- magnificent demonstration of patriotism.and love of God.” The big hall was packed humanity and tt sntively to vith expectant stened a v and the rously ap- Dewey peech. At his apartments the Auditorium Annex the President met by a dele- gation of colored men from Quinn Chapel and accepted their invitation to speak a ! Ihade during Father Doorne in few words to the colored folk. The dimly lighted little chapel, with its humble ap- pointments, was in strange contrast to the magnificence of the scene with the services earlier in the day. The President said: *“‘My friends, it glves me very great pleasure to meet with you on this memorable day. The noblest sentiments of the human heart after love of God is love of country, and that includes love of home, the corner- stone of strength and safety. Your race has demonstrated its patriotism by its sacrifices—its love of the flag by dying for it. That is the greatest test of fidel- ity and loyalty. The nation has appre- ciated the valor and patriotism of the black men of the United States. They not only fought in Cuba, but in the Philip- pines, and they are carrying the flag as the symbol of Jiberty and hope to an op- pressed people.” After breakfast, which the President ate with Mrs. McKinley and Miss Bar- ber, Mr. McKinley received informal calls from members of the Presidential party. When the start shortly before noon was about to be made for the home of La- fayette McWilliams, where President and Mrs. McKinley and Miss Barber had ar- ranged to dine, Mrs. McKinley upset the plans of the arrangement committee. The committee had planned that Charles Truax, B. J. Rosenthal and E. C. Keith should ride with the city’s distinguished guests. At the last moment Mrs. McKinley an- nounced her own desire to have the com- pany of her husband during the ride.

The fire is not yet under control, and is estimated to cover about sixty miles. SANTA CRUZ, Oct. Dense smoke still obscures the mountains on account of forest fires. Ashes and cinders fell to- day near this city. The fires near Boulder Creek are under control and no further danger is feared. The fire in the neigh- borhood of Pescadero Creek and in the direction of Alma apparently continues to rage flercely, judging from’ the immense volume of smoke arlsing in that direc- tion. The fire is being kept in the under- brush on a territory covering four or five miles. If it is kept there no fear is felt for the safety of the tall redwood trees and cordwood west of the fire. If the flames should manage to break through the territory they are now confined to they would have plenty of dry material to feed on and cause much loss. An army of men is now fighting vigorusly trying to revent its spread. No reports of heavy ndividual losses have as yet reached this city. The fire was caus either by care- Jess hunters or through men clearing brush from land permiting it to get be- i ontrol. )OS“/S(‘CRAA\IENTU.
