The Minnetonka Yacht Race a
splendid Success.

splendid Success.
Yesterday morning, in beautiful
weather, furty yachts of the Minneton-
ka club started for their annual trip.
An excellent breeze swept across the
water, and the spirits of the entire
party rose high in expectation of the
pleasures which the occasion promised
to afford. There were on board from
$50 To 20J ladies and gentlemen.
+. B. Bailey was chossn as Judge, his
boat being the Acte. Commodore t. b.
Janney accompanied the crews on
board the Froi!c, and pressed into serv-
ice photographer, with the intention
of securing picture of each pretty
vessel in the fleet. The course. as
usual, was laid from the club house to
the upper lake, through the NaaroWs,
the programme Including lunch at The
Chapman house.
The yachts were started in two squad
rons. ana as they left the anchorage
presented picturesque and beautiful
sight. The northerly wind gave free
sailing on the way up, so that the yachts
reached heMoundCi.y, their upper lake
destination, in ali unexpectedly short
space of time. The first boat to
tie up in front of the Chapman
house was the second-elass cat Phyii
the Bird was the second. and the Omega
third. Then came the kestrel, Hermes.
idier. The Kid and White Wings. in the
order named. The first of the big
Slo0pS in was the Alpha, although she
was not the IirSF TO start. The Kite and
Voiante came in together, hotly coil-
testing the finish. The Kite kept her
I lead, however, and crossed first. The
G l. G, now no longer fiji keel, but a
| center board, came next. with the Aurora
after. Then followed Hurd's Mischief,
Rodney Chadbourng'S Sakio. w. ). Ben
toms, Ventura. Shark. with Newport at
the tiilerand Waterwitch. and The Atlanta
leading flock of cat boats, the Curlew.
Columbia and Mabel Ida, was next.
OrlOL., Mystic and Cupid about finished
the list. Princess with more ladies'
aboard than any other boat In the
fleet, the Ino Siren and the Burgess
Verda come in the order named and Pa
CaheSe'S cat boat Single Tax lowered
about the finish.
Luncheon WAS next in order and from
the recesSeS of the yachts dainty and
substantial baskets and bundles of all
sorts and sizes were produced and
lunches were spread upon the grass.
After merry hour over luncheon sails
were raised again and the yachts were
i, Off for home.
The yachtsmen had their racing blood
up on the trip up, and the contest be-
tween them was a hot one. Who was
the winner was, however, matter of
doubt pending the calculation and the
decision of the judges. Some thought
the Alpha had won, some said the
Kite, and some the NOlaute,
but few suspected that it was
t the Apnkwa. Tefft. however, sailed
good race, and brought his boat across
first on corrected time. A feature of
the race was the defeat of the hitherto
invinclble Bird by the Phyllis. 1t was
like old times to see the Bird sailing,
but not like old times TO see her beaten.
Another feature was the success of II.
J.. BurtOn's VOlante. The success of
the Burgess in beating both the HERES
chOtfs was also surprising.

4 DUEL AMONG THE CRATES
REVOLVER SHOTS IN A CHURCHYARD AT
NIGHT.
is 4 MOUSE-A wATCHMANs BAD



The residents Of Jamaica /. l.. were aroused early
yesterday morning by the changing OF the bell In
Grace Church. This followed by the reports Of
several pistol shots which proceeded from that
of the graveyard surrounding the church. The
townspeople became frightened. and hundreds or
them. partially dressed, turned out TO see what
was the matter. When the shooting ceased and
the changing OF the bell ended for time
would venture to enter the churchyard. Mr.. Pet
tit proprietor of Pettts Hotel across the way from
the church. added 10 the excitement by informing
the people that he had seen from his window two
men engaged in a duel among the graves. BY the
moonlight he could see. he said their shining re-
volvers and the fash Of each shot fired. He had
counted shots in all. While the bell was
ringing he had noticed light in the church. When
the bell ceased TO ring the light disappeared
The whole affair was wrapped In mystery until
yesterday afternoon, when the night watchman.
Godfrey Meyer appeared and offered an expana-
tion of the occurrence. Meyer explained the
cause OF the Changing OF the bell by saying that
there electric wires In Grace Church. connect
ing the windows with the bell in the tower. Yes
terday 1t was discovered that mouse had
gnawed the insulation of the wires In the church
at a point where they crossed. thus completing the
circuit, which caused the bell TO ring.
When the signal sounded Meye~ who
near by suspected an attempt to rob the church.
He crept cautiously into the graveyard and began
circuit OF the building. Suddenly there
pistol shot. and bullet whizzed past his head.
Meyer sprang forward and the
church corner. He drew his pisto, and returned the
shot Then came another. and bullet hattened
against gravestone In front OF him. Just al
that moment the moon came from behind cloud
watchman. Frank Isenbrant. The two men con-
graduated themselves their narrow escape from
death and set to work to stop the changing OF the
bell
