As was expected, Murdock and Allen won places in the finals. beat Carl Gardner easily in the semi- finals and Allen disposed of Herbert Long. The final match between Allen and Murdock was one of the best seen for some time. Allen, who has been off in his game of late, was at his best yes- | terday, and Murdock had to play his best to beat him. Murdock’s strokes were much better than his oppoment’s, but the latter fought hard al the way and was as steady as a clock. Murdock won thre sets out of four, but all of them were exceptionally close. Tn the first two sets and the first part of the third Murdock was a trifle cleverer than Al- len.

In the fourth set Murdock was at his best, and although Allen fought hard he could not quite win out. The score was 6—4, 8—6, 7—9, 6—4. Murdock’s driving was excellent and | he won point after point on clean passes. Allen's volleying was better than his opponent’s, but Murdock had | a serve that Allen could not handle.

GALVESTON, Tex., May 30.—As the result of whitecapping running riot in | the Piney Woods section of East Texas | recently the Federal authorities to-day | arrested four, white men and are look- ing for several others. The arrests | were made under section 5508 of the | Revised Statutes of the United States, {wlnch places the penalty at a fine of not more than 35000 and imprisonment for not more than ten years. S.| The arrests of to-day are for offenses | similar to those which recently oc- curred in North Texas, in which there were a number of convictions, and sim- | ilar occurrences in the mountainous | regions of Tennessee, where a number |of white men were sentenced to the | penitentiary for long terms. The cause of the recent trouble was | that some of the rowdies of the Piney Woods section banded together to pre- | vent negroes working on the construc- tion of the Livingston and Southern | Railroad. They proposed to make the | company pay them a handsome tribute if it desired to continue construction, | as the whitecappers claimed they were “kings of that particular territory.” The company appealed to the Federal authorities and the United States Mar- shal, with deputies, invaded that sec- tion and after an exciting experience arrested the four ringleaders. Further trouble is expected. The whitecappers claim to have an unlimited number of friends and relatives in this section and that they propose running things to suit themselves. —_— NAVAL OFFICER'S AUTO KILLS LITTLE CHILD Boston Lad Meets Untimely Death While on the Way to a Sister’s Grave.

MEXICO CITY, May 30.—The Pan- ama Railroad has just awarded the contract for the construction and equipment of that road from Tonala, the present terminus, in the State of | Chiapas, to Tapachula, on the frontier of Guatemala. The contract is to build and equip the line throughout accord- ing to regulations laid down by the Government. The work is to be com- menced at oncr 0 Truant to the Finish. e The nineteenth annual regatta of the | Corinthian Yacht Club will go down in the history of the club as the most suc- cessful ever had on the bay between single stickers, and the differences in the time made yesterday over the va- rious’ courses will furnish food for dis- cussion for weeks to come. A better ‘day could not have been chosen. A spanking breeze blew in through the Golden Gate and gave the yachtsmen all they needed to send their crafts spinning from tack to tack | and down the home stretch with spray | flyving from every bow and with every stitch of canvas drawing to its capac- ity. Promptly at 11:45 o’'clock the steamer Resolute sounded her whistle for the twenty-footers to get ready. Five min- utes later the get-away signal was given, and the Ruby stuck her nose into the wind and crossed the line on a starboard tack. Like & young colt || | just turned into pasture, she shook the foam from her forehead and sprang away for the trip to victory. Forty-two seconds later the Vixen dipped her bow across the line and the first race was on. Thg course was to the Presidio buoy and back to Powell-street wharf, from where all starts were made. The Ruby won by six minutes and four seconds, 5 A special class for seven yachts had been arranged, but the Acapulco was the only one to start, and though she is a recent recruit in the club she will be given a flag for having made the trip alone. The prizes in the twenty-five-foot class were only contended for by the Discovery and Neva, though nine had been entered. Neva won. In the thirty-footers the Aeolus and |" Truant were the only ones to make the try, as the Presto was re-classed. The Aeolus won with part of her crew standing on the spanker hoom to keep her down as she came across the finish line. Enthusiasm was divided between the thirty-six-footers and the class Wo. 1. When the whistle sounded for the former to get away the Presto, In com- mand of Frank Stone, cut the corner around the stake boat and was pre- paring to show her heels to the balance of the fleet when for some reason Stone put about and again made the turn, thereby losing a minute of his starting time. In close order and with every sheet close hauled the Edna, Thelma and Emma sent the spray flying from their bows and cut in on the port tack : for the shore. Down the course the yachts flew, checking their speed but little as they luffed and headed away on the other tack. They finished in the following order: Presto, Edna, Emma, Thelma. Commadore Fulton G. Berry of Fres- no was in command of the Nixie and Commodore Edward Howard at the til- ler of the Speedwell, the two yachts in the special class No. 1. The Speed- well was away first, as close hauled as she could be with the wind nipping the tcps of the waves into froth, while the Nixie crossed behind her stern, stand- ing well in shore. From the start to the finish the contest between these two boats was exciting. As they came down the stretch with gafftopsails catching the wind, mainsail drawn home to the point of explosion and spankers standing out llke great an- chored balloons, the spectators on the dock and aboard the committee's steamer burst into cheers while the Resolute sounded the cry of victory for the Nixie with her whistle. The judges and committee in charge were T. J. Kavanagh, Douglas Erskine and J. K. Bulger. One act during the regatta, for which the committee was grateful, was the fact that the pilot boats which had been anchored along the course of the races moved their moorings beyond the stake boats and | thus gave the racers a clear sea.

Sea Air Leads the Two - Year From Start to Finish in -0ld Race at Kenilworth Park. PETALUMA, May 30.—Getaway day was a lively one at Kenilworth Park. Two thcusand people witnessed to- day’s racing, the largest attendance of the meeting. The third meeting of Stover’s George P. McNear and Sea Air was not as close as was expected. Sea Air took the lead at the start, holding it to the wire and winning by a length and a half. Tom Kingsley in the fourth was rid- den in good style by Jockey Buxton, and finished first at the wire after a hard drive, He was at liberal odds, but was not heavily played. The Lieutenant was heavily backed in the fifth, but finished a poor second to Northwest. | Dandie Belle was the favorite of the talent in the sixth and was well backed. Headwater took the race by a head, Dandie Belle and Miss Vera pressing him hard. Most of the horses will i ave to-morrow morning for Seattle. The meeting has proved a great success, much credit for this being due Presid- ing Judge Egbert. Next year it is pro- posed to hold thirty days’ racing at Kenilworth Park.

A HALF-ACRE TRACT One of Cleveland’s Oldest Schools Is Among the Dwellings De- stroyed. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 31.—A fire which started shortly before midnight has burned over an area of a half acre at the corner of Oregon, Perry and St. Clair streets. The loss probably will reach $100,000. The principal loss will be that of the St. Clair-street School, one of the oldest in the city, the inte- rior of which is entirely destroyed. The other losses include the window frame, | door and other woodwork manufactory of the Cleveland Window Glass Com- pany on Oregon street. A half-dozen small dwelling houses have been de- stroyed, with their contents. Opposite the burning structure, on each side of the streets named, excited residents removed all household goods because of the rapid spread of the fire, which threatened their homes. The blaze is the most spectacular the city has experienced in vears and has been watched by dents. —_————————— FIRE LOSS ESTIMATED AT A MILLION DOLLARS One Man Believed to Have Perished in Flames That Destroyed New York Piers. NEW YORK, May 30.—One death may have resulted from the fire that started last evening in the Starin barge Allen C. Churchill and swept over seven of the Delaware, Lackawanna and ‘Western Railroad Company's freight and coal plers. The mate of the Churchill cannot be found and he may have perished. The police estimate the loss at $1,000,000. This, however, they say, is a conservative estimate, and it may be found that the loss is several hundred thousand dollars higher. The officials of the rallway company are unwilling as yet to give out any definite figures, as it has been impossible to learn just how much freight was de- stroyed. Three engines were still pour- ing streams of water on the smoldering ruins to-day.
