C. Oliver Iselin, the man- aging member of the Rellance syndicate, and his advisers passed the night on board the Reliance's tender, Sunbeam, at anchor near the Reliance. When asked for a prophecy of the result of to-morrow’s race, Sir Thomas said: “I am_more confident of winning than ever. My confidence is shared by every man on the fleet and other admirers of the Shamrock III. Designer Fife is sat- isfied with the tuning up that the Sham- rock I1I has received and Captain Wringe is confident.” In reply to a question whether or not there was any basis for suspicion that the challenger had not been permitted to show all her speed in her trials with the Shamrock I, Sir Thomas said: 3 “There never was any jockeying. I do not consider it an honest way of getting people to bet théir money. Except in a few cases when Mr. Fife has wanted to sail alongside of the Shamrock I we have always done the best we could, and I have always wanted to see her do Ner best.” Sir Thomas added jokingly: “The Sham- rock III will win the first race by either six or seven minutes. I'm not quite cer- tain which; the second race by four min- utes and a half. You will have to ask me about the third race later.” A flood of letters, cablegrams and tele- grams reached the Erin to-day from hll parts of the world, bringing wishes for the success of Sir Thomas and the Sham- rock IIl. One cablegram came from Lages, Portugal, from Lord Charles Beresford, saying all the officers and men of the channel fleet sent hearty good wishes and hoped to hear the Shamrock 1II had won by a length. Other mes- sages came from the Durban Yachting Club of South Africa; the Yacht Racing Association of Perth, Western Australia; the Royal Yacht Squadron of New Zeal- and, and from nearly every yacht club in Canada. Among the notables who will probably be guests of Bir Thomas on the Erin dur- ing the races are Adjutant Genmeral and Mrs_ Corbin: Paymaster General Bates, U. 8. A.; Hon. Charles Russell; Captain Brownson, commander of the Naval Acad- emy; General and Mrs. Chaffee, Mr. and Mrs_ John D. Crimmins, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Edison, Mrs. Jefferson Davis Hayes Jr. and Mrs. John A. Flagler, Senator and Mrs. Kearns of Utah, Governor Odell; Lady Sweetenham, wife of the Governor of the Straits Settlement; Lieutenant Commander Isani T.

As in the two preceding series, the Govern- ment-will police the course with revenue cutters and the most stringent rules will be laid down to prevent Interference by the excursion fleet with the big single stickers. Like greyhounds in leash, the big racers are moored to-night inside Sandy Hook ready for the fray to-morrow. Both were given their final trial spins to-day. De- spite the big time allowance the defender must concede to the challenger, the friends of the Reliance are extremely con- fident that Sir Thomas is again doomed to defeat. The confidence in the Ameri- can boat is reflected in the betting, where the odds are 2 to 1 on the Reltance. The friends of the British boat, on the other hand, profess the greatest faith in the ability of Fife's latest creation to “lift the cup.” In neither of his previous attempts to carry oft the preclous “mug” did Sir Thomas sail on a challenger. To-night he was in doubt whether to sail in the challenger to-morrow. His friends on the Erin urged him not to do so for fear of an accident, According to the rules the first race will be fifteen nautical miles to windward or leeward and return, depend- ing upon the direction of the wind. After that each alternate race will be over a triangular course, ten miles to the leg. The next race will be sailed on Saturday and the third next Tuesday and thereaft- er every other day until the serles is com- pleted. The winner of three out of five will be the victor. According to the rules if the course is not covered within the time allowance, five and a half hours, it is mo race. The weather prediction for to-morrow is not alluring, the forecaster promising a breeze of from three to nine knots. A seven-knot breeze will be necessary to carry the boats over the course in the al- lotted time. For the first time the chal- lenger and defender to-day sailed in com- pany oft Sandy Hook, when both boats were taken out for final trial spins. Some observers thought the Shamrock IIT heeled a little more and seemed to carry a larger stern wave. The Rellance was first to get away from her mooring within the Horseshoe and passed out by the point of the Hook at 10 a. m. There was a fine ten-knot breeze DISTANCE - o< cesSVIND . OMILES 45 40 . MILES DEQPPL To SMuLES from the south-southeast and, sailing close hauled, she went out through the main ship channel and Georges channel to the’ Sandy Hook lightship, about eight miles, at a fast pace. Shamrock III left Sandy Hook fifteen minutes later and followed the defender out through the channel to the lightship. Both yachts carried lower salls'and club topsalls. The Reliance turned at the lightship and ran back toward the chan- nel, meeting the Shamrock III on the way out. The two yachts passed each other at a distance of a mile. Shamrock 111 proceeded as far as the lightship, hove to and waited the arrival of the Oceanie, bound in, and then followed the big liner in under matnsail and Jib. The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, the latter of whom was sponsor for the Shamrock III at her launching, were on board the Oceanic, and as the big steamer passed the crew of the Shamrock cheered the Countess. Both of the yachts re- turned to thelr moorings at Sandy Hook after having been absent an hour and a quarter, the Reliance reaching hers about fifteen minutes in advance of the Sham- rock. For the remainder of the day beth boats swung at their moorings, while the crew overhauled their sails and got every- thing in readiness for the race.. ————— e The Kind He Always Had. Conservatism is believed to be the dis- tinguishing characteristic of Englishmen. A young man of Bermuda, of English descent, now residing in New York City, imports his collars from St. George's Town, on the island where he was born, not because he has any prejudice against American-made goods, nor because he can't get a collar to sult his needs in one of the thousand or more shops where collars are sold here, but simply that he is used to the sort that he imports. “It's the kind I've always ¥ know,” he [ noblest order of the old B B i A night: America’s cup. one of the party said: Captain “Charlie” Barr said: Shamrock money around anywhere.” On board the Sunbeam, in the absence of Mr. Iselin, who did not return from his home at New Rochelle until late to-night, there was no one who would express an opinion. When pressed “You surely canuot expect us to speculate on to-morrow’s result. It is not usial to talk upon uncertainties.” “Win? YANKEE TARS EXPRESS GREAT FAITH IN THE RELIANCE. TLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N.

Mower, the officlal measurer, had remeasured Sir Thomas Lipton's chal- lenger, Shamrock III, off S8andy Hook to- day and that as a consequence the chal- lenger will be in receipt of an additional allowance of twelve seconds In the races, making a total allowance of one minute | and fifty-seven seconds, against the pre- vious estimate of one minute and forty- five seconds. The new measurement revealed the fact that a mistake had been made in measur- ing the length of the topmast. When Mr. Mower ran his tape over the vessel again to-day he found the throat halyard block was three feet lower than his figures of yesterday showed. This made | the length of the topmast greater by three feet, reducing the size of the main- eail and thus decreasing the sall area. The new measurement brings the racing length of the Shamrock III down to 104.4 instead of 104.77; ecual to a time allow- ance of twelve seconds. The remeasurement was made at the request of 8ir Thomas Lipton.— The dif- ference in the measurement was caused by the lowering of the throat halyard block three feet, thus adding to the length of the topmast and decreasing the sail area, Secretary George McCormack was asked to-night if the measuring was the result of any dissatisfaction on the part of Sir Thomas Lipton with the figures obtained by Mr. Mower. “Not at all,” said Mr. McCormack: “simply Sir Thomas altered his boat by lowering the throat halyard block. He then asked for a remeasurement and got it. That's all.” o A RS PG a s SAW THE SITUATION AND ACTED UPON IT Here is a story that might have come from Secretary Hay. Perhaps it was told him by the traveler in foreign lands. “I was traveling abroad,” said the re- turned tourist, ‘“and I noticed that in the rallway carriages, at the statlons, in the hotels and everywhere a certain class of travelers were pald every considera- tion, although they spent no more money than I did. The railway guard sprang to open the door for them; the hotel people gave them the best they had and every one seemed anxious to do them honor. At one of the big hotels « noticed a number of these men who had got the best of me at all times for several days back, and I consulted the walter. “‘Why is it,’ I asked, ‘that this man, and that man, and the other man are shown so much courtesy and attention? ‘Ah! said the waiter, ‘they have been decorated. One has the Legion of Honor, the other the Golden Eagle, and that one the Order of the Star. All gentlemen having decorations are given the utmost consideration.” “I saw the point, and bethought me of an old inauguration badge I had with me, which I had worn as chalrman of some committee. I dug it out of my trunk and pinned it on my coat. It was about ten inches long and three broad and as gaudy and tinseled as a dozen or- ders all in one. No one knew what it meant, but it was a decoration, and as such carried me all over Europe in as fine style as if it were an emblem of the ‘world.”—Wash- says by way of explanation.—Exchange. | ington Post. s DIES, N ARMS OF HER HUSBAND Wife Takes Poison After Bidding Farewell to a Friend. While M. Musgrif was playing a popu- lar air on a fiddle In the barroom of a North Beach saloon last night his wife suddenly entered the place and. after say- ing a few words of farewell to a friend, produced a bottle of carbolic acid and drained its contents. Then the unfortu- nate woman rushed to her home in the vicinity. She was overtaken by her hus- band, whe had heard of her rash act, and died in his arms In the hallway of their home. Mrs. Musgrif was 54 years of age.and resided with her husband at 1119% Filbert | street. ‘The home life of the couple was unhappy, as it is said that the wife was a victim of the lquor habit and every time her husband chided her a quarrel was pure to result. The woman had threatened to end her life many times, but no attention was paid to her threats. Late last night she entered the saloon and grocery conducted by Fred Heinick at 1133 Filbert street and met the wife of the proprietor of the place in the front part of the store. The pair stood talking for a few moments, when suddenly Mrs. Musgrif ‘pulled out a bottle of carbolic acid and drained its contents. Before the frigntened Mrs. Heinick could stop her the desperate woman fled through thé front door and out on the street. Her husband was merrily playing a fiddle in the adjoining barroom and when informeéd of what had happened he rushed after his wife. He overtook her as she made a vain at- tempt to climb the stairs of their home and caught her in his arms. The dying woman made an attempt to speak, but she could not, and with a last shudder she fell dead in her husband’s arms. @ i b i @ GOLD DISCOVERY WITHIN THE GITY Portland Laborers Un- cover Deposit of Quartz. Special Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 19. — Float quartz, containing an ounce each of gold and silver, besides copper in paying quan- titles, has been discovered in Marquam Gulch, a canyon in the southern part of the city. The find was made by laborers, who were plowing potatoes on ground owned by Judge Marquam. Mrs. Carrie Elwert passed over the fleld and noticed some shining particles of metal, which she took to J. H. Fisk, an assayer. The assayer declares that the HONOR MENDRY OF W., ENGLIS Harbor Commissioners Mourn for Former Associate. The State Board of Harbor Commis- sioners held its regular meeting yester- day afternoon. Little was done by the board as nothing pressing has been brought to the attention of the commis- sloners of late. A set of resolutions ex- pressing deep regret and sorrow at the death of Willam D. English," former member of the board, was introduced by Commissioner Kirkpatrick and unani- mously adopted. The chief engineer was instructed by the board to prepare plans for the repair of ferry slips 1, 4 and 6. The commis- sioners looked over the plans of the new bridge to be erected by the Santa Fe Ratflway at Third street and approved of them. The following resolutions wers passed out of sympathy to late Commis- sioner English: . ‘Whereas, It hag pleased Divine Providence to call from our midst, in the day of his useful- ness, our beloved friend, William D.

The ground upon which the quartz was discovered is within half an hour's ride of the postoffice and still nearer the city. It is a mile within the city limits. The gulch has been dwelt upon and cuitivated a number of times, but the discovery came as a complete surprise. Assayer Fisk, who has had experience in Oregon mines, believes that the mother lode, from which the floating quarts came, can be found easlly, and, if so, a fortune is awaiting some one. The hills which Marquam Guich drain are of the same formation as the Cas- cades and Fisk believes that in the moun- tains a heavy lode will be found. Work will shortly be begun on a shaft.
