YACHT RACE.
The Puritan Loses the Race at the Mo.
ment OF Victory BY An Accident.

COTTAGE CRY, Mass, Aug. 6.
stiff northeaster was blowing when the
yachts left New Bedford this morning
This gave them free run to Quick's Hole
and dead beat from there to the finish
The Puritan was the first to cross the start
ing line and was CLOSELY followed by the
Clytie and the Priscilla. The Puritan at
once flew to good lead with the Priscilla
next behind At three miles out the Puritan
led by half a mile and had increased the lead
to three-quarters of mile by the time
Quick's Hole was reached Entering Vine
yard Sonnd the Puritan began to cut out
work in a beat to the windward and appar-
emily had the race well in hand as this is one
OF her favorite courses An accident, how
ever, destroyed her reasonably certain chances
for victory. Without moments notice
the main-sail came to the deck on the run.
The bolts securing the block through which
runs the throat halyard had parted and the
Puritan was floating helplessly in the trough
of the sea. 1t was nearly 10 minutes before
the damage could be remeded and the sail
reset somewhat imperfect Meanwhile the
Priscilla had overtaken her rival and when
the Puritan once more started on the journey
the two boats were stern and stern. 1t was
close fight thence TO the finish, but the
Puritan rounded Polynia and anchored off
the highlands some distance ahead, though
losing the race by reason of the advantage at
start. But for the accident she would have
an undisputed claim TO being thu winner.
Old America did splendidly and defeated all
in her class except Dreadnaueht She led
the schOoners of the fleet. The fleet re-
turns to Newport tomorrow morning. The
Genests will proceed to Boston.

Out Her Brains.
PHILADELPHIA, /

PHLDELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 6.
Mary Warburton. an extremely pretty
young girl from Fall River, Mass, aged
about % wears, expensively dressed and with
an air of respectablllty and good breeding,
attempted to blow her brains out in the ladies'
waiting room of the Broad street station of
the Pennsylvania railroad. last evening. On
being taken to the Philadelphia Hospital it
was found that the shot struck just above the
left temple aud had run up under the scalp so
that with careful nursing she will soon be out
of danger. The girl refused to give any rea-
son for the act. but an investigation during
the evening disclosed the fact that she has
been leading wild life here, although mask
ing her actions under the veil of respecta-
bility. There will probably be strenuous
efforts made to hush the matter up and it is
almost certain that the girl cannot be made
to make any disclosures. She is said to have
left her home on account of her mother hav-
ing married for the second time.
