run before the wind to the outermark.
The American boat not only held her
lead, but increased it to a full mile before
she had sailed Ave miles It was about
this time that the wind hauled away
round to the south-southwest.
The Vigilant hauled aboard her spin
maker in remarkably short space of
time, the work done by the seamen on
the American boat being in that action
especially commendable. The Valkyrie
held on to her spinnaker for at least seven
minutes after this. The main sheets
were taut at this time on both boats.
UNABLE TO GAIN.
The Valkyrie remained at her mile dis
tance on the weather quar-
ter of the Vigilant and could
not gain an inch. In a half hour
the wind shifted almost back to the point
it come from at the start Once more
the spinnakers were rigged. The wind
was about equal on the sails of either,
and the Valkyaie could not improve her
position. On the contrary, she rather
dropped off. The Vigilant made her turn
of the outer mark amid the greatest en-
thusiasm.
SAILING FOR HOME.
AS she rounded the Vigilant's men
hauled down her balloon iib top sail once
more in splendid style and in place of it,
ran up pieceOf canvas that looked like
a napkin, in comparison with the other
tremendous spread that had been seen.
The wind was now about west,
perhaps a half a point to the south,
and instead of a beat home, as all
hands had relied upon, it became ques-
tion of a long reach, with perhaps a tack
or two toward the finish to find the home
line. 1t was on the reach that the cutter
was supposed to be at her best. The
reach lasted after the Valkyrie had made
her turn and both boats were heading for
home.
GAINED UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES.
During that reach, with all things
equal in the way of wind, the vigilant
actually gained on the cutter Then
there was another shift in the wind, and
the boats were compelled to haul sheets
aft as far as possible and
sail closely by the wind. The
Valkyrie caught puff Of
wind that the Vigilant did not get and
picked up probably a one-fourth of a
mile through its means. At this juncture
there was probably ten-mile breeze.
Up to the end Of the course there was
no event to be recorded further
than those that have been mentioned
The Vigilant crossed the line on the same
old tack, while the Valkyrie, having
sagged away down to leeward, as the cut
ter is bound to do in sail close on the
wind, had to go about before she could
| cross.
The Vigilant finished first at 3;3lL
| (unoficiaD, and the Valkyrie finished at
3:3s (unoficiaI.

Conner in Managing the Property.
Washington, Oct. 7.-R. Summers Hay
has been appointed co-receiver of the
Central Railroad and Banking Company
of Georgia to serve with Receiver Conner
The appointment is regarded as most
fortunate for the stockholders and all in
terested. He is a frst-class railroad man
of large experience. He is now president
of the New York and Northern and ST.
Paul and Duluth railroads. He began his
railroad career as a workman in the
shops. From that he has worked his
way up through successive graduations
until now he is considered one of the
foremost railroad men in the country
He is well known to the capitalists of the
north, and has their full confidence.
This is of the utmost Importance, as finan-
cial assistance, if it is had, must be had
from the north. Lawyers with
whom the MORNING News correspondent
talked agreed that it was an admirable
appointment in all respects, and they say
that all interested in the road ought to be
pleased at the appointment, as it insures
the best possible management of the road
financially and otherwise.
The appointment is entirely acceptable
to Receiver Conner.
Until few days ago, Mr.. Summers was
director in the Richmond Terminal
Company. His appointment is thought to
mean recognition of the Terminal inter-
ests in the management of the Central
The Terminal people look upon his ap-
pointment as a victory.

RIO JANFrRo,s ESCAPE.
The Foreign Naval Commanders Save
the City From Bombardment.

thN OAty GAOAh 00AhonI0A2olbs
Washington, Oct. THE most import
ant news concerning the Brazilian revo-
luton since its inception has been re-
ceived by the Secretary Of the Navy in a
cable dispatch from Capt. Picking, com
manding the United States cruiser
Charleston at Rio, as follows:
Admiral Mello having been informed
that the government would diamount the
guns in the city said he would not again
fire upon the place"
This undoubtedly means that the threat
ened renewal of the bombardment OF Rio
Jaheiro has been abandoned and 1t is sup
posed that truce between Admiral
Mello and President Peixotto, has been
arranged by the commanders Of the for
eign vessels stationed 10 the harbor. The
full import of the agreement cannot be
determined from Captain PiofinR's tele-
gram, but il is probable that its effect
will be to transfer hostilities from Rio to
other places in Brazil, although II was
not unlikely that it means the arrange
ment Of an amicable agreement that will
end the war
