River valley, from Missouri Val- ley, twenty miles north, to Pacific June- tion, fifteén miles south of here, is al- most a Jake for the entire distance, and of the five trunk lines running east from here, only one, the Illinois Central, is able to get a train in or out of the city. Two persons, H. H. Larue of Corning and ‘A. R. Fash of Clinton, a horseman, lost their lives while attempting to res- cue a number of persons from the fair grounds, which were suddenly flooded. Larue was electrocuted while pushing a boat under am electric light wire and Fash was drowned. Three others are missing and are thought to have lost their lives on the flooded fair grounds. The flood was caused by a sudden rise in the Nodaway River to-day, which sub- merged the grounds before those having charge of exhibits knew of their danger, part of them being asleep. The water reached a depth of twenty-one feet on the grounds and washed away a number of buildings. The rallroads are the heaviest sufferers from the flood. The Burlington east and south has half a dozen bad washouts and their track is under water at a number of other points. Their bridge at Malvern was washed out entirely and traffic is badly blocked. The Wabash read, which rune south, has several washouts. The Northwestern tracks between this city and Missouri Valley are nearly all under water and no trains have been run over them to-day. The Rock Island Rafl- road has been unable to get trains far- ther west than Atlantic and the Milwau- kee is blocked at Neola.

'!k = Defender Almost Makes it Three Straight Victories. gt e EW YORK, Aug. 27.—Not only the Bhamrock III, but Captain Wringe, whom Sir Thomas Lip- ton had pronounced the best rac- ing skipper in Great Britain at getting his boat over the starting line, was defeated to-day. The preliminary Jockeying and start was the prettiest ex- hibition of skill and seamanship in the series. It was a contest for the wind- ward position. Only once did Captain Barr lose it, and then he promptly re- gaineu it. For fifteen minutes preceding the start he held the British boat tucked neatly under the lee wing of the defender, despite Captain Wringe's best efforts to clear his boat, and when it was over and the boats clipped across the line Barr held a splendid victory to his credit. The wind, which was from the south- east and blowing at four knots, was just dimpling the smooth sea when the com- mittee tug flew the course signal Indicat- ing a fifteen-mile beat to windward and run home. When the preparatory gun sounded at 10:45 a. m. the racers were sailing parallel to the starting line and to windward of it with the Reliance to windward, where Barr wanted her. At the end of the line the Shamrock III luffed and tried to force Barr about, but the Yankee would not yleld and Wringe had to give up and fill away again. They crossed the opposite end of the line out- side of the line, the Shamrock III drop- ping back and luffing to windward of the Reliance on the way. That was the only time Barr was caught to leeward. Luf- fing hard, he sailed a circle around the challenger, blanketed her as the starting gun sounded, bore off around the stern of the lightship and luffed across the line with ‘a handicap of forty-one seconds. The Shamrock followed, handicapped by one minute and forty-one seconds, one minute and one second of which was dead loss. The official starting time for both bdats was 11:02, but the actual start as timed by the regatta committee was as follows: Reliance ... 114 Shamrock III. 114 TIME ALLOWANCE LOST. Captain Wringe had lost the best part I +| Beat to Windward Puts| the Foreign Boat Far Astern. E3 of his time allowance. The Reliance was leading by about 300 yards. Once across the line they held the port tack a few minutes and then went about headed eastward. The Rellance was a good bit up to windward and hanging on to her windward position, while the Shamrock tried to make up for it by footing the faster; but the next tack, twenty-five minutes after the start, when Shamrock had lost ground and as they lay abQ\lt the same course, was a quarter of a mile astern of the American craft. The boats were heeling gently, stepping along at a remarkable pace, considering how light the air was, and foot by foot the Reliance was working away from her rival. Barring accidents or flukes, the race had been won at 12:20, when the red lightship was not more than five miles alee and the Rellance three-quarters of a mile dead to windward and persistently outpointing Sir Thomas' forlorn hope. ‘Ten minutes later, when about #ix miles of the course had been covered, the Re- liance tacked, but, as the Shamrock kept on, promptly went about again. Then the Shamrock went about and the Reliance followed. Barr was unwilling to split tacks, as he had the Shamrock beaten and only needed to hold her where she was. i At 1:02, when the turning mark was rising above the horizon, five miles away, the Rellance appeared to be a good mile ahead of the Shamrock and gaining. Both boats hegan to make short hatches for -+ B3 — legs brought the Reliance within a few hundred yards of the turn, where she laid a straight course for the mark. As she went about it, Shamrock III was about a mile distant and coming on at a slow poce in a very soft wind. The time at the turn was: Reliance . Shamrock I1T . . BREEZE TOO LIGHT. It was evident that the yachts were covering about five miles an hour. They had been approximately three hours in beating fifteen miles, and unless the wind should freshen there was small prospect of their covering the fifteen miles home in the hour and a half remaining. Once heading homeward balloon jib topsails were broken out and spinnakers set to port on both boats. They dawdled along in exasperating fashion, while an hour slipped away. Not a change took place on either of the yachts nor did the result seem to be any relative difference in their positions. ‘The Reliance was losing her race against time, and at 4 p. m. had little hope of getting across the line at 4:32 when the time limit of five and a half hours would expire. She was six miles from the finish when her sails fell aslant of wind from southwest, her spinnaker was smothered and she laid a reach homeward. .Hope revived only to be dashed. Five minutes afterward when the wind again backed to southeast her spinnaker was again set. The wind freshened a bit as she neared the line. She was still a quarter of a mile distdnt from the line when the navi- gator gave notice that the race was off. The Reliance kept on and crossed at 4:38:45, six minutes and forty-five seconds behind the time limit. = Meantime Shamrock IIT had caught a freshening southwest breeze, taken in her spinnaker and was reaching for the line at a better clip than at any time dur- ing the race, but when the finish, gun was fired she began to take in sail and before she reached the lightship was car- rying nothing but a balloon jib topsail She aid not cross the finish line. ———————— Relief for Flood Sufferers.
