Africander was added at the Iast minute, But the taient didn’t care a tinker's|» hurrah for that. They wanted to see Hermla and McChesney hitch up and tear their way througn that mile and an alghth of turf, and when that didn't take place, then all the rest didn't matter. Something like a washout happened at the finish and there was a swell almost @ foot deep opposite the Jockey Board. Rain was still falling this morning, the air was very cold and the attend. ance was decreased, as few people came from out-of-town, not believing that the stars would meet under such conditions, “Billy” Fletschmann, who welched here last week for $0,000, sailed for Europe on the steamship Cedric Saturday, Ho went to South Africa, where, according to friends, ne will go to work and try to redeem his fortunes, The bookies, therefore, will have to awalt his return before recelying any cash, as his cousin, Jullue Fleischmann, Mayor of Cincin. nati, says ho has nothing to go with Billy's affairs, and ‘will not wettie his debts.

It was prob- ably steried Ly !ghining. The fire was a hard one to fight, necessitating tre sending in of three alarms. Volumes of wa- ter poured in only seemed to make the biaze hotter. Trains on the Sixth avenue line were held up below Canal street. Just south of the distillery stands the eleven-story Wool Exchange Building on the corner of Beach street. The ground floor is occupied by the Varick Bank of New York. The fire authorities feared for this building from ihe start and a section of the force was put on watch to see that the flames did not communicate with it.

HIGHLANDS OF NAVHSINK, Aug. 25.—The official time of to-day’s race reveals that Reliance won by only 1 minute and 19 seconds, a showing more favorable to the Lipton yacht than to the defender. Thare was ag little advantage on the side of the American boat that the hopes of Sir Thomas Lipton have been ralsed to the highest pitch. - His indomitable courage has been braced by the performance of his pet. Shamrock made a noble showing—better than she has made thus far in the two previous races or in trials on this side of the water. The race. was a ding-dong affair from start to flaish, with Shamrock making a spurt now and then that cheered Sir Thomas mightily. i Just before reaching the ilrst mark there was a shift of wind that: helped the challenger, but she could not hold the advantage it gave her. To the credit of Shamrock be it said that in the thirty miles from start to finish Reliance was able to gain only 1 minute and 52 seconds—S seconds less than the time allowance. NO HOPE FOR SHAMROCK. The third race, to be salled on Thursday, will be over a course fifteen 7 miles to windward and return, The superiority of Reliance on such a jour- | ney as this was thoroughly tested on last Satumlay, and that she will wis, - barring accident, is about a foregone conclusion. ¢ The result of the race to-day seems to insure that Sir Thomas will be compelled to return to England for the third time without having won @ race for the cup. It was a great race all the way. Capt Barr outsalled Capt. Wringe at the start and got over the line more than a minute ahead of him, This lead enabled him to get about a quarter of a mile to windward, and his aie) position was of immense advantage, RELIANCE LED AROUND FIRST MARK. The first leg was down the coast due south. Just before the yachts reached the first mark a haze drifted in and shut out the view from land, Rellance led around the mark, set her spinnaker and squared away for the +8 reach to the second mark, closely followed by Shamrock. Se Although Capt. Barr had sutled his best beating against the wind he had not been able to increase his original lead on the challenger to any; He did a little better on the second leg, and on rounding fl great extent. distance. But when started for the finish line Shamrock was hanging like grim death, and it appeared to be impossiblo to shake her off clently to allow of a winning margin. yee But the apparently impossible was accomplished, ,
