he was making desperate efforts
to kick his feet clear of a trunk. of which

Jersey shore with the American boat lead

Then the v alkyrie took In her jibtop
sail In order TO set a bigger sail. The
VigiIant commenced to gain in spite Of
the efforts Of the vaikyrie aud 1t became
apparent both yachts would
make fast time over the
course. There was no doubling that it
was a magnificent RIA &c, a contest close
enough up to this point to make the blood
run fast through the veins Of the most
apatketic.
The glorious sunlight beat down upon
the white sails Of the beautiful racers
which were cleaving through the blue
waters, scattering the silver spray from
81 cir uniqus.like bows aud surging along
as If propelled by 81 eam.
Al 1921 the ViRilant took in her jib-
topsail and the white caps were tossing
up on all sides and the Vigilant was about
one eighth Of a mile ahead. Both yachts
were standing for the first stake boat
with the Vigilant to windward.
SANDY Hook. 1880 p. m.-The moro
the wind fresnens the faster the Vigilant
cuts through the water and the more the
American boat increases her lead, thus up
setting the Britisher's theory hat all they
wanted wasa GOO st III breeze nd victory
was theirs. AS 10 l. the fresher the
breeze, the moro the Vigilapt is beating
her opponent. At l2:40 the
Vigilant was more than q mile
ahead and going through the water like ~
steamboat. aud as sue only had about one
mile aud a half to 40 to reach
the first mark IL seemed as If
she would head the cup challenger by
about four minutes or more around that
point.
A few minutes after 1910
the ViRilant tackled and set
her %jibtopsail. an example which was
followed u few minutes later by he VAL
kyrie. On the starboard tack both yachts
turned towards the stakeboat with the
Vigilant still continuing TO increase er
lead. Then they both went about aud
chased onward for che mark.
Eventually the Vigilaut rounded the
first mark on the starboard tack IT l:O9

and rounded about three minutes fifteen

The Valiant has gone on a long reach
and has two minutes on the Valkyrie.
At 1910 tue ViIilant passed the
second stake boat rushing
through the water like a race
horse and scattering the salt spume in
sparkling showers over her bows.
AT 2:05:5 80 the Valkyrie passed the second
stake boat eight minutes and 40 seconds
behind American yacht Vigilant, thus
showing a loss of time in this leg of
nearly five minutes.
She is hopelessly beaten unless some.
thing unfors en- turns up.
At 2:16 the wind is now blowing 70

had To stop this fornoon. The finishing
department. is expected to close during
the day as the work Is close up.
Different Estimates.
1t is very difficult to ascertain what
is the average reduction In the
wages. One weaver said it would
make So 90 per week in his pay.
another said it would make his $3.50
less per week and another went so far a.
TO say that he would Lose $1,000 per day.
The loom ixers say they are being re-
duced So. 90 per week.
The help are standing In groups on the
square discussing the situation anl
are strong in their denunciatioi OF the
step taken by the masters. but everything
Is perfectly quiet and the people ar,
very orderly. There Is more or less
surprise that the operatives did not wait
until the schedule went into effect aud
thus save a weeks wages. but
the men seemed to think that
it was time to strike while the iron was
hot. The mill owners sta te that the cut
down was absolutely necessary to meet
the results of the hard times aud will
continue no longer than required.
There are no threats nor talk OF vio-
lence OF any kind; the crowd is anxious
to 20 back to work. but will not, do SO
unless the new schedule is revised.

For.

Over 5000 employees OF the various
wooden mills in Olneyville are out On a
strike today, and unless some concession
is made by the manufacturers it is feared
the trouble will be OF long duration.
This action is the result of notices
posted this morning in the Weybosset,
Riverside and Fletcher mills,
announcing that a new schedule
OF wages embracing material reduction in
the ply OF all operatives would go into ef-
feet next Monday, October ID.
The strikers had been icognizant of a
coming crt-down In wages for several
days. but as the amount was unknown
no summary steps were taken. The post
lug OF the new schedule this morning
precipitated the crisis.
Ten and Twenty Per Cent. Reduction.
When the operatives in the Taft e.
Wesden mills arrived at the mill this
morning they found posted n schedule to
go into effect next Monday involving a
cut-down Of ten per cent. upon
general help and twenty per cent. upon
weavers. dresser tenders and loom fixers.
The reduction was much greater than the
operatives anticipated.
A consultation was held in the weave
shop which resulted in 800 men
leaving their looms AMI going
out on strike Immediately. A cry was
raised, LET us 90 to Fletrher's," and the
crowd marched down Valley street to the
National mills Here they stationed them
selves on the vacant lots in front OF the
mill. shouting Come out"
