cloriana the Favorite for Today's Rae
ing I'm the Lower Bay.
The Corinthian Yacht Club races will
be held this afternoon. The latest news
from Arrochar says that a good stiff
breeze was blowing this morning, and
that all the zach tsmen were out early.
The last race of the season will be sailed
today, and it promises to be the best race
Of all.
1t was said this morning that the honor
would 90 TO the Gloriana, and the contest
of the other boats would be Tor
second place. II the Gloriana did
as well as she has in the previous races,
the man who sailed his DO at in
a good second to-day ought to feel as
proud as If he had won al ordinary race.
In order that the yachtsman may be en-
encouraged, a prize OF 500 was hung up
for the second boat.
The first boat IN the 46-foot class, tina
handsome cup offered by Vice COmmo-
uore David Banks. As a trophy it Is q
work Of art. I'M 1t is valued at $500. The
course was settled as follows
For the 46's from Cravens Shoals buoy
around the Sandy Hook and Scotland
lightships and return.
For the 35's from the start, around the
Scotland hghtship and return. The 25-
foorers will start with the rest, but they
will only have to go to buoy 5, of Sandy
Hook, turn it and come home.
A feeble hope was experienced by the
Mincoia advocates that she would give
the Gloriana a tussle in going windward,
but 1t was shared in by very few out
siders.
She pro missed. however, to make things
warm for the Sayonara. Jessica and Maui

John Miller, fourteen years old, and
living on Oak street, and Frank Wallace.
seventeen years old, and living on Hud.
son street, were drowned in the Hacken
sack river, near the Newark and New
York trestle this morning.
The last that was seen OF the boys be-
fore the accident was at half past eight
O'Clock, when they left their homes for
school. They did not go TO school, how
ever. but vent in swimming instead.
Miller, who was q good swimmer,
stayed in the water for over an hour. and
going on shore was dressing. when Wal
lace suggested that they have a. race.
Miller readily agreed upon the plan, re-
entered the water, and won the race.
Wallace then suggested that they see
who could swim out the farthest. Miller
was the first one to try this. He swan
out over three hundred feet, aud was re-
turning when he was seized with cramps.
Wallace at once swan out to assist him
and caught him as he was going down
for the third time. Miller seized him
with Il death grip, however, and would
not let go. Wallace tried his best to
bring his playmate ashore, but could not
make any Roadway so close was Miller's
hold.
Several fishermen, who were near by,
threw a rope. to the boys, but they were
too lbte, and both drowned. The bodies
have not yet been recovered.

which influenced the heart Of the French

Jersey boys had a jolly time,
one Of the pleasant features OF when
was taking advantage Of the innocence
OF the captain Of the French vessel by in
Producing ~Assemblyman Mullone as the
colonel OF the l17th New Jersey Fusiliers.
This was only one Of the many jolly in
cidents on the excursion boat. A fair

Bayonne, who has piloted many yachts

AN "Ln ROAD ESCAPE.

Locomotive Breaks Down ON Ninth Ave-
nue-A Collision Happily Avoided.
There was a ~miraculously narrow escape
this morning from a terrible catastrophe
on the Ninth avenue IL at Houston
street.
AS Engineer McCartY Of locomotive No.
20 was opening the air-brake valve for
the last time preparatory to stopping al
the Houston street station on Greenwich
street a crash was heard. n the trail
drive-wheel on the left side OF the engine
fell to the ties beside the track.
When the train stopped IL was found
that the connecting rod. instead of being
demolished was badly twifted put OF
shape.
Had the machinery broken while the
train was at full speed between stations,
engine No. 20 and four cars crowded with
men and women would have been dashed
down into the street. n distance OF fifteen
feet.
The accident occurred at S.55 O'Clock.
The express from Harlem was following.
But for the vigilance OF the engineer a
collision would have occurred.
Machinists Nerc summoned from a
neighboring shop. and with the assistance
of engineer, fireman and train hands the
disordered machinery was disconnected
on the injured side of the locomotive.
lis lkACk WIS OAOCkCd wi NNCut1 hiAh-
utes-long enough to make a continuous
line of trains about WI miles in length.
The passengers of the broken engines
train descended from the L station in an
excited state.
There must have been a flaw In the
axle OF the engine, which is one Of the
Oldest on the road. The pressure OF the
airbrakc on the driving wheels seems to
he the only plausible explanation for the
~breakage.
At uptown stations during the long de-
lay, tickets were sold Just as usual, and
trains were sent down the Ninth avenu
only to lie stalled with their perspiring,
crushed aud half suffocated passengers
wondering why the usual morning agony
was SO prolonged. To those who Inquired
the railroad EMPLOYEES replied with that
non committal iusolence which is ordered
by the officials at headquarters. News
paper reporters, e~ndeavofiag ito investi-
rate the affair, we're given misinforma-
ton who're they were given anything.
And. on the whole, it was just like any
otner accident on the managed road
like the other, too. because only an inter
position OF Providence prevented a fear
full loss of life.
