 parting on the Havana steamer this after
 noon, whither they were bound when the
 mishap befell them. The first three were
 sent to the hospital John Moses will cer-
 tainly die. The cause of the accident seems
 to be mystery and could not be explained
 by the proprietors of the hotel It would
 seem, however, that small screw in the
 check wich catches the elevator by pulling
 the rope gave way. The elevator rushing
 with frightful velocity broke all it's fasten

 The Canadian Yacht Again Left.
 NEW YORK, Nov. IO-To-day the second contest of the International series between the sloops Atalanta and Mischief, of the
 Bay of Quinte and the New York Yacht clubs respectively, for the American cup, took place. The course sailed over on this occasion differs from that yesterday. In stead of being over the New York Yacht club course It was sixteen nautical miles outside Sandy Hook and return About noon the start was made from buoy No , off the Hook. The Mischief was first to cross the line, the Atalanta about mile behind The Mischief hoisted her balloon jibs and then ran up her club topsail The Atalanta was under all her canvass. Wind and waves were most pleasant as the yachts scud- ded away in their long race before free wind. The Oracle crossed the line and join ed hotfoot in the contest. She too had all her canvas spread. Along mile after mile the yachts sped showing no perceptible gain over each other Excursion boats, and there were many, steamed after them. Approach ing the turning point, a float anchored by the judges boat at Sixteen Mile Point just off Long Beach Hotel, the Mischief began to reaf her sails for the turn and homeward journey. The other yachts followed suit and only reefed mainsail and jib. The journey homs was 8 test of seamanship as well as the qualities of the boats. The Canadians prediction that the Atalanta would make long tacks were verified Before getting abreast of the big hotel at 6OckdWdy the STracl6 ana A1lScQl6I Qdu HhQe two tacks to the windward, while the Atalan- ! ta had only made one. In less than an hour after turning the buoy the Atalanta was left l far behind. Two hours afterward she ap peared but speck on the horizon and then | again, as in the first days race, all interest l was taken from her and centered on the 1 Gracie and Mischief, which stood opposite 1 each other on different tacks- The Oracle | was of the Jersey shore. She had made four | tacks while her rival the Mischief had made | three. As they sailed along the spectators op | the excursion boats discussed the seamanship and judgment of the sailors on the American | yachts and paid no attention to the Atalanta l The passing of the stake, while it did not set 5le the question, made the rivalry, however, more earnest and nothing will satisfy the | yatchsmen but 8 race between the Oracle and Mischief. It is most certain that they will De gratihed, for among the first races of the coming season will be those of a series be- ;ween those famous yachts. The Aralanta while sailing as she had done in the Bay of Quinte to leeward was only few minutes behind the Mischief but when she made a urn and had to sail to windward she was ost. The Oracle crossed the line at the fin sh shortly after the Mischief. It is claimed hat she beat her adversary when time. allow lnce is credited to her, but this is disputed. l She came in ahead of the Canadian, howev r, 'ome 39 minutes, while her rival, the Mis- thief, won by 3s minutes 54 seconds. Cap ain Cuthbert, of the Atalanta, says he will l yet win the Queens cup and is determined to build third yacht for that purpose.
