HIGHLANDS, N. j., Sept. 11.-9:15 A. M
This was the day fixed upon by the Ameri-
can Cup Committee for the third of the
series of international races. providing
that tie sloop and cutter had each won
one of the contests, but because Of the
fizzle on Thursday the second race is the
event of to-day. Just before sunrise this
morning a heavy mist hung over the
ocean, but whsn the u burst forth the
fog began to disappear, and after half an
hour had elapsed it was gone entirely. AT
9:25 the wind appeared to be steadily IN
cfeasinG, and became quite heavy. This,
together with the tumbling sea, is just
what the cutter people have been crying
for. The Mayfower's supporters seemed
TO be satisfied with any kind OF wind
Early this morning it looked as though
the day would be an excellent one. Later
on it became thick outside, and dark and
threatening clouds began to roll up. The
sea was dotted with white-winged craft
that moved about waiting for the
big sloopS. Crowds of yachting en-
thusiasts sailed up the beach and
veranda. Ladies wore regulation yacht
ing blue, and were interested spec
tators, while everything human wanted to
bet on the Boston sloop. There were not
many takers, because the sloop showed her
weatherly qualities while the wind blew
on Thursday. The incoming trains
brought hundreds of people from New
York, who did not care to sgain risk their
lives on the steamers. The little accidents
that resulted from the heavy fog on
the last race day had their effect. The
steamers were by no means deserted, how.
ever, and had enough people aboard to I'LL
every deck. Tugs by the dozen. with
special parties, also came down, and hun
dreds of fishing smacks broughto out a good
many people. Navaesink Highland Of
fered as good a view as anywhere along
the coast. and consequently the bluff was
lined with people. At $3.50 the wind had
freshened to about % miles an hour, and
came out of the northwest in gusts. The
race is twenty miles to the leeward. The
yachts are to turn the s%takeboat, opposite
the ocean beach. The Mayfiower started

The wind was in the northwest and II

Am Alleged A~dventurer Arrested
New ORLEANS, La, Sept. 11.-Georg'
j. Adams, of Massachusetts,, was arrested
here to-day. charged with embezzlemen'
by a number of persons. whom he de
frauded out Of money to search for hidden
treasure. Adams claims to have been q
prscticing physician in Massachusetts
when the war broke out. He shouldered
a musket and joined Company A of the
10th Massachusetts Volunteers, a portion
Of the command which came with Butler
to New Orleans 10 the foraging expedition
Three soldiers Of the regiment entered
dwellings on the Magnolia plantation, 20
miles above New Orleans, on the right
bank of the river, and carried off $50 900
81, 900 in silver and the rest in gold.
Being afraid to enter the city with 30 much
money, on reaching the Pecan grove, about
half a mile from the looks OF q canal op-
posite Greenville, OF rather the upper end
of the Exposition grounds, they selected a
tree prominent for its size and with some
peculiarities in appearance, which made it
conspicuous. At the foot Of this tree they
buried the money, and then o bearings,
one Of the party being a civil engineer.
Each of these men were furnished with q
copy of this, and the marauders returned
to New Orleans, intending to return after
the war and recover the money. His two
companions were killed, and Adams was
desperately wounded. Soon after Adams
was taken TO a southern hospital, and left
1t paralyzed and perfectly helpless. When
he recovered the use Of his limbs only q
month ago he returned TO New Orleans
and at once began to search for his treas.
ure. He found TO his dismay that all Of
the older pecan trees had been cut down,
and only young ones were left. and was
consequently unable to recognize the tree
under which the treasure was buried. He
devoted himself, however. for three weeks
to delving for it. A few days ago he took
other parties into partnership with
him. who advanced q better outfit for
surveying the land and digging for the
buried money, but as he has succeeded in
unearthing no treasures his partners had
him arrested TO day.
