CUP-D JEFENDER WILL TAKE HER FIRST DIP TO-DAY. (Continued from First Page.) Newberry Thorne, George Cormack, Secretary of the New York Yacht Club; Lewis Cass Ledyard and Mr. Teelin. As Mr. Iselin was suffering severely from rheumatism he had arranged o view the launching sitting on the forward deck of the Sunbeam on an easy ahs with the bad leg propped up on a stool, MISS ISELIN ON HAND FOR CEREMONY. Miss Iselin arrived early this afternoon and went to the residence of Capt. Nat G. Herreshoff, some distance from the boat shops, where she will remain until the hour for the launching. It 1s extremely probable that it will be lator than 5.30 before the Reliance is released from her cradle. It jwill not be high tide until 7.38, and though the Herreshoffs have 80 con- waited until high tide before puting a cup defender overboard. \ The Reliance has been gayly decorated and will present with flying flags, bunting, glistening topsides and burnished underbody, a beautiful pleture when she enters the water, To avoid accidents to the yacht or any of the craft which will block the harbor, one of the torpedo boats will probably come yp from Newport to do patrol duty. | Bilman, of Boston, Is here with a large force of riggers rushing work Constitution’s mainsail was bent this morning, and it is expected that she will gc down the bay for a trial spin iate this afternoon or to-morrow morning, When the doors of the south shop were thrown open this afternoon it Was seen that conjectures regarding the greater beam and lesser draught of the new boat were well founded. In fact, the Herreshoffs seem to have gone to an extreme on this point, although the heavy-bulbed fin is much thinner than that of the Constitution and does not appear to be so long. One of the veteran employees of the firm stated to-day, however. that there was fully as much lead in the Rellance's fin as in the fin of any of the other defenders, C, Oliver Iselin held an informal reception for visiting yachtsmen on board his temporary home, the Sunbeam, tender to the Reliance, during the greater part of the day, and toasts In anticipation of victory over Sham- rock III. were proposed and responded to, The news that Shamrock I. had beaten the new challenger on time allowance in to-day's contest was re- ceived with satisfaction, but the test was not regarded as by any means conclusive. Capt. Charley Barr and his crew, glistening in their new white uniforms, were ready to scramble aboard and assist In towing the yacht to the north shed, where the topmast, bowsprit and mainmast lay under the big sheds ready to be stepped. It !s expected she will be able to bend her sails for her first spin on April 27. A few hours before the launching William B.

This shed, though the cynosure of thousands of eyes, gives ttle indica- tion. of the jealously guarded treasure within, The entire structure is of loosely fitted clapboards, mouldy and weather-stained, and at frequent ine tervals ripped and cracked, On both sides the boards haye been ripped out to allow a sufficiant bulge for the easy egress of the yacht. But this rip- ping and tearing has becn so carefully done as to conceal, except for a few narrow slits and break, the entire hull. Nothing was dong up to a late hour to keep boats clear of the line of the marine rallway where the launching is to occur. It was sald that there would be nothing more than the expressed de- sire that boats keep clear of the line to force an easy access down the ways, INCENDIARY ATTEMPT RIDICULED. ‘The report yesterday that an incendiary attempt had been made. to de- stroy the Reliance by piacing a candle and a few rags under her bronze hull was more a subject of ridicule than serious discussion to-day. The rumor first found breath through a statement made by a townsman that he had seen a light in the shed around midnight. The light was caused by the lantern swung by the watchman on his rounds. With a score of outposts forming a cordon about the entire area of the shops, it would be impossible to get within fifty feet of the defender, let alone carefully prepare a bonfire beneath her, Early in the day it was said that Mr. C. Oliver Iselin, manager of the new boat, would be unable to officiate at the launching because of a severe attack of rheumatism. As a fact he was confined to his house for some time under the care of Dr. Weylan, but he managed to hobble out after an early breakfast and, after going aboard the tender, take an active hand in the preparations. The early yachts to arrive in Bristol Harbor, after running through the east passage of Narragansett Bay, bore the majority of the members of the syndicate that has built the new defender, Others came by early> train from New York. | Early yesterday afternoon a stream of automobiles poured into Bristol from neighboring cities. All were more or less brilliant with pennants and streamers that streaked out in splashes of red, white and blue as they came fluttering through the dust. The members of the Boston Automobile Club and the Rhode Island Automobile Club turned out in force, occupying more than a score of big gasoline machines, They made their headquarters at the Bristol Yacht Club, which was brilliantly decorated with bunting, *osse" fon sovonne FRENCH TROOPS | TO STOP CHINES OFF FOR LAUNCHING only. two stops were sade to Greenport jReady for March Against Box- h Ds y took @ private r oy for Brisvol.

THREE OTHERS ARE DEAD. Kindly nelghbors tried to-day to bring comfort and much needed aid to the sorrow-stricken home of Mrs. J, J, Mahoney, at No. 106 Roosevelt street. Her husband, a policeman at- tached to the Madison street station, lies dead in Gouverneur Hospital, where only the day before her eleven- year-eld son “Patay” died, as did his father, from typhoid pneumonia. The bereaved woman, whose health 1s shattered by an almost incredible eerles of misfortunes, 1s left with In- fant twins and an aged mother de- pendent upon her. The misfortunes of the Mahoneys be- gan early in thelr married life. Their first child, a boy, died within a year of his birth, Other children followed, and three years ago a daughter was buried, A year later their second son died. Early in January a baby boy died after @ brief ‘liness, and within a few weeks Mrs, Mahoney gave birth to twins. The advent of the little ones seemed to brighten the life of the little family, and prosperity ‘was beginning to dawn for thein, as Mahoney, who had been a New York Central brakeman, had se- cured an appointment as a policeman. Their happiness was short-lived, as thelr eldest child, Patrick. was taken down with typhold pneumonia, ‘The father, tired after his long and irregular hours of duty, spent all his time nuraing the little sufferer until he, too, fell a victim. Then both had to be removed to Gouverneur Hospital, where they died. Mrs, Mahoney is broken by this last doudle misfortune, and her friends fear the death of her. CHILD DENIES POISONING.

It is a food.medicine and affords nutrition at the same time thut it has a gentle laxative effect, property possessed by none of the emulsions and similar preparations. lt is the best remedy ever prescribed for throat and lung troubles.
