sides OF the Santa Maria, but Capt.
COncas had no reason to complain of
lack of visitors. Capt. Concas is a
courtly Spaniard who at first rather re-
garded the command of the caravel as
beneath his dignity, but when it had
been explained to him that the detail
was intended as an honor he stepped
aboard with better grace, and is now so
lionlZed that he Is not sorry that he
made the trip. He speaks English ex-
cellently and

soon as people began to go aboard the
Santa Maria. they learned that the sail
ors had ribbons with the name of CO.
lumbus' flag ship upon them. Instantly
the Russian bands fell to discount,
and 1t becamethe struggle Of the hour to
get Santa Maria souvenir. The few
girls who were successful are tonight

Again the flag of England went down
today before the red, white and blue.
dozen barges from nearly all the ships
in the harbor started today in race for
the international trophy offered by
the citizens of Norfolk, hand
some silver vase. Somewhat sore
over their defeat last Wednes-
day, the Britishers spent the day
yesterday in selecting a crew that
should carry off the prize, and when the
twelve athletic fellows from the Tartar
pulled off from their ship this afternoon
they went on their way to the sound of
cheers and handclapping from half
thousand broad-chested subjects of
Queen Victoria. 1t did not look for a
while as if they were to win. Through
the
Rolling and Tumbling Waves,
their barge cut its way to the head of
the procession, urged not only by the
hardened muscles of brawny arms, but
by the energetic gyrations of the cox
swain in the stern. In the course, a
mile and three-quarters, for three
quarters of the distance the Brit
ishers were in the lead, and the
Blake shouted. They shouted too soon.
AS the end of the course opposite the
San Francisco was neared, the San
Francisco's crew, which was a close
second, gave magnificent spurt, and,
amid yell that ran like an electric
current along the entire line
of American ships, passed their
English rivals. The Chicagos,
the second crack crew of our navy bent
their backs and quickened their stroke,
so that they we're second in the race,
just behind the San Francisco, with the
Englishmen third. How the siren of
IN m did haIIOyU IilYn hull.
how the girls on the decks waved their
handkerchiefs, and how the men
shouted until their throats were hoarse.
The Germans, with their pennant trail
ing in the water, came i'll fourth, and
the Dutchmen were next. The other
foreigners came trailing in long pro-
cession. The San Francisco's men have
now won six races since the rendezvous
began.
