Never-'| theloss, the cr.wd was jubilant in the | conviction that Sir Thomas Lipton's lat- et challenger, like the two Shamrocks | which had preceded her, was doomed to | return to England empty handed. | Of course the race to-day was not ah- | solutely conc ive owing to the light | snd shifting character of the air, but in | een-mile Leat to windward, a por- tion of which was sailed In a driving rain, cup defend.r Reliance showed her | to.the Shumrock II1 in commanding | and that, too, In weather conditions were supposed to be to the partic- liking of the challenger.

Half an hour after the start, when the boats were about four miles from the starting line, rain swept across the course and obscured the yachts from all observers except those very close. The shower brought shift of wind to the westward, which | enabled the racers to lay a course direct | to the mark. This robbed the Reliance | of most of the advantage of her windward | position and put the boats on glmost even | terms. They held that relative position | until they had sailed eight miles, when | | the wind backed to south by west, again | making it a dead beat to the mark and restoring to the Reliance her former ad- vantage in being to windward. | CHALLENGER IS OUTPOINTED. | When they made their first tack at | 12:20 the Shamrock III was to leeward | and astern a few hundred yards. The | shower had passed. Then, for the first | time, the British challenger gave the ad- mirers of the defender a bad scare. With- | out apparent reason she began to foot | faster than the Reliance, passed to lee- ward of her and drew away ahead, but still to leeward. It looked for a moment as though she was going to show her heels to the Reliance, but when she came about and the two boats met the admir- ers of the Reliance discovered that, while the challenger had been outfooting her, the Reliance had been outpointing the challenger and had even increased her lead. The bows were nine miles from the starting line and the Reliance had a lead of a quarter of a mile. In ?qrab- o | was obt g to take part in the | ‘gineer were rescued. ping wind the British boat twice slipped past the Rellance to leeward, but she was losing groupd in the windward thresh because the Rellance sailed closer to the wind. ‘When four miles from the turning mark at 1:26 p. m. they started on a long leg out to sea. As they came about it was apparent that the Reliance was a mile ahead. The wind had dropped to little better than a flat calm, and the racers were moving very slowly. The boats sev- eral times changed their head salils, but the race degenerated into a drifting match, and three and a half hours after the start it was evident that the race |could not be finished within the time The Reliance had steadily gained | limit. and was two miles ahead of her rival, when the Shamrock IIL caught a little wind from the west and began cutting down the lead. The Reliance went about when a mile away from the turn and, catching the westerly wind, scurried away for the mark with almost racing speed. heeling to a smart northwest breeze and glving the first exhibition of her speed. The defender hauled on the wind for a close reach back to the finish line, sa- luted by the whistles of the big fleet. The Shamrock III was coming on at a fast pace to meet the returning defender, but she was so far astern that it was eight minutes after the Reliance turned the mark before the racers passed golng in opposite directions, indicating that the | Reliance’s actual lead was sixteen min- utes. Just at that point the regatta commit- tee's tug displayed the signal, “The race is off,” and the Shamrock III came about and followed the Rellance a short dis- tance. The Shamrock III never turned the mark. They were taken in tow of tugs and the fleet, hurrying homeward, quickly dropped them. Admirers of the Rellance are jubilant because the American yacht demonstrated that in extremely light airs and unusual- ly rough water she could show her heels to the British challenger, and those were the conditions belleved to be the severest test of the Herreshoff boat. — - EXCITEMENT IN BELFAST. Yachting Experts There Blame the Fluky Breeze. BELFAST, Aug. 20.—While the showing of the Shamrock III in her first race against the Reliance is a great disappointment to the chal- lenger's supporters, none is willing to admit that she has mot still a good chance of lifting the cup, The clubhouse of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club was crowded this afternoon and evening with members who eagerly scanned every bul- letin and who agreed that the fluky breeze was alone responsible for the superior showing f_the Reliance. | ' The excitement in Belfast and elsewhere was | intense during the progress of the race, and | the streets were fllled with eager crowds. The universal sentiment is that the Shamrock IIT is sure to reverse the positions when a fair and steady breeze is secured. BULLETINS IN GLASGOW. Excited Crowds in the Streets Block Traffic.

The President has plainly stated to the members of his Cabinet that that principle is “to indicate the policy of the President” in similar cases. To-night the President authorized the publication of a statement which was sent to each member of his Cabinet on July 22. The letter was signed by Mr. Barnes, act- ing secretary of the President, and s as | follows: My Dear Sir: The President directs me to send to you herewith for your information coples of two letters sent to Secretary Cortel- you 'with reference to the Government Printing Office, which d the attitude of the ad- ministration in c fon with the subject dis- cussed.

LONDON, Aug. 20.—A bulletin issued at 10 o'clock to-night said Lord Salisbury’s condition was critical and there was lit- tle hope of his recovery. The end may be expected at any moment. Once in the course of the ev:ning it was thought that his Lordship had al- ready breathed his last, but he made a surprising rally and at midnight it wa$ announced that his condition had not changed since the 10 o'clock bulletin. Telegrams have been dispatcned to the King, the Queen and the Prince of Wales acquainting them with the critical condi- tion of the ex-Premier. It is not oro- posed to issue any further bulletins until the morning. Viscount Cranborne, eldest son of Lord Salisbury, says his father was improving in health until last week, when a sugac accident led. to a recurrence of the com- plications he had been suffering from, in- cluding marked weakness of the heart and circulation. Lord Salisbury was asleep in a chair, when the arm on which he was leaning gave way and he fell heavily to the ground, recelving a severe shock.

Concerning this principle, the President wrote: It is of course mere elementary decency to require that all Government departments shall be handled in accordance with the principle thus clearly and fearlessly enunclated. < —lp 1 MEMBER OF THE FRENCH CABINET WHO MARRIED FORMER TEACHER. * _— | ‘RIS, Aug. 20.—Marine Minister | Pelletan was married to-day to| Mile.

Declaration of War Is Ex- pected When Rice Crop Is Harvested. VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 20.—Japanese papers received by the steamer Indravelli to-day from Yokohama discuss the al- leged imminence of war and tell of con- tinued military preparations. The Japan Advertiser says the Japanese Government is actively preparing for war, whether war comes or not. The men of the differ- ent regiments are taking leave of their families and friends, and Formosa is be- ing filled with troops. The Advertiser quotes a lengthy inter- view with W. H. Krumm, an American mining expert from Manchuria, who in brief sald that his observations in Man- churia showed him clearly that Russia intended to keep Manchuria and was pre- pared to fight for the territory. He told of enormous expenditures on rallway im- provements, rapid building of towns, erec- tion of substantial barracks and prepara- tions to swarm troops into Eastern Asia. Krumm further said that a Russian of- ficial informed him that he had it from the Minister of War during his visit that a declaration of war might be expected as soon as the Japanese rice crop was harvested. e OIL DERRICKS BURNED IN SHOESTRING DISTRICT | Loss of $50,003_hfllcted Befors Fuel Is Exhausted and the Flames Die Out.
