ALONG THE LINES.

The Yankton extension of the Great
Northern has begun business. Car
load shipments can be made some time
this week. The stations are not all in
readiness to open, hence way business
is somewhat blocked. The Great North
ern has adopted temporary rates from
the Twin Cities to Yankton which are
somewhat higher than the rates will be
when everything is in good working
order.

Must Be Allowed to Compete With
the n. z. and Great Northern.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 5.-General Pas
senger Agent Lomax, of the Union Pa
cific, is quite complacent over the pend
ing consideration of his ultlmatum by
the Western Passenger association,
which meets in Chicago next Tuesday.
Speaking of the matter today, Mr.. Lo-
max said he would maintain his position
to the end. When he entered the as
ISOLATION he considered that the rules of
agreement would permit him plenty of
latitude to meet the competition of such
lines as the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Canadian Pacific,
but the recent ruling had upset
that and he felt fully justified
in giving notice of withdrawal from the
alliance. The road could not afford to
sstay in. Asked as TO the probable effect
d, of the Union Pacific's withdrawal from
the ASSOCIATION Mr.. LomaX said he did
not think it would have any bearing
whatever on the existence or utility of
the association. He did not think the
tother parties to the agreement cared a
continental whether the Union Pacific
stayed in the association or not.
''Of course, whether IN or out of the
association we will stand by all local
agreements. but we must have liberty
to meet the competition of the main
e liuesOutside of the association"

New YORK, Oct. 5.-The seventh
series of the 10000 point billiard match
between John Roberts Jr., of London,
who is the champion of English billiard
lists, and Frank z. Ives, of Chicago, the
American champion, was commenced
tonight.
In the afternoon game Ives played
poorly, and Roberts gained back the
lead of 115 which Ives secured on
Wednesday mig hit.
When the afternoon play was over
Roberts score was 5,4O0, and Ives score
5,03S. leaving him 302 behind.
Before the play began Ives said to an
Associated Press reporter, i'll answer 10
his query as to why he played so badly
in the afternoon, Il am not feeling we'll,
and this place is too cold. The cold has
very great effect on the balls, and
cannot get them to come together when
touch them. 1 was surprised myself

In the opening of the ninth inning
Roberts began brilliant piece OF his
ail-rOund Work. playing winning and
losing hazards with the greatest ease.
His draw and screw shots for the side
pockets seemed to mySlify the specta-
tors. no were evidently not accustomed
TO the English game.
Roberts played with great accuracy,
never heSitating moment as to what
shot he would play. He would alternate
between hazards and caromS, ana al
| ways secured good position. Ho broke

the white when he had made break of

inning Ives got the balls on the lower

along and turned the corner pocker.
Along the bottom rail they went. AL
though Ives was at a disadvantage, he

the fact that he had to use the bridge
very frequently, he made 200. They
broke here, and he stopped at POP amid
d lumult OF applause.
Roberts ran out in the forty seventh
| inning with an unfinished break of 10,
which made his total for the night 1,OO1,
while Ives only made 74S. The entire
score is: Roberts, 6.40l: Ives. 5, 7S6.

THE RACE A FIzzLE.

the Vigilant pretty nearly half mile
ahead of the Valkyrie, which was on
her weather quarter. when the accident
of the day occurred. The Vigilant was
seen to point off to leeward, that is, the
eastward, as though about to enter new
waters. What the intention of her sail
ing master was nobody could determine,
and great surprise was expressed by the
sailors at the yachts singular action.
1t tranSpiIed later that the boat had
simply lost its wind and could not hold
its helm. 1t was fully quarter of an
hour before the Vigilant made an
indication of picking up hope again.
By that time her adversary was so far
ahead that it was generally conceded
that the English boat must win the race
of the day unless it should happen that
a good stiff breeze should spring up.
The wind began to haul to the south,
and before they knew it there was
southwest breeZe-if the air can be dig
nlfied by the name of breeZe-and the
yachts had to make tack to reach the
outer buoy. In this work the Vigilant
gained no little on the Valkyrie, but it
was plain the chase was a hopeless one
in the light air prevailing. The Val
kyTie went down to the mark on the
signal starboard tack and rounded it
amid the wild shriekings of the hun
dredS of steam whistles that made a
semi-circle on the sides and below the
buoy.
1t was twenty-slX minutes after this
that the Vigilant made her turn, and
she had to make an extra tack in order
to weather the buoy.
Although apparently defeated in the
first race of the SerleS-a race, too, that
the center-boarder was relied upon to
show win-the American boat was
greeted with even greater clamor than
had been heard when the Valkyrie went
around. 1t now became lun home, as
it had been run out. This was all to
the advantage of the center-boarder, as
her beating to windWard had been
counted upon for her to win. But that
makes no difference. She was a mile
behind, and she had to allow over a
minute and three-quarters. If it had
oCCi! q veal Hoilio IL ID uouDtiul IL ZIG
Vigilant with her poor handling in the
run down to the outer mark could have
overcome those obstacles.
1t was only when about half the home
ward journey had been completed when
Lord Dunrayen, who was on his own
boat, made UP his mind that there was
no use in stretching the sails and rig
ging of his racer any more, so he quit.
He hailed tug, asked for tow line,
and was brought back to the bay under
steam power. Almost simultaneously
with the earl's action did Mr.. Iselin. -on
the Vigilant, determine to dc the same
thing.
There will be no race tomorrow. but
another attempt will be made Saturday.

CAICAGO'S POWER SHOWN
IN THE $40 RATE SECURED FOR CHI
cAc0 DAY AT THE FAIR.
LARGE TRAFFICANT1CIPATED.

Minnesota Day Rate $11.5O,
Tickets Good for Two Days
Chicago Day Tickets Can Be
Used Until Oct. 1S Roads
Making Extra Efforts to Handle
the Traffic Next Week.
The power of Chicago over the rail-
roads has been pretty clearly demon
strated in the case of the $40 rate which
exists throughout the Northwest today,
tomorrow and Sunday. This rate is
given on account of Chicago Day, which
is Monday. Minnesota day is one week
from today, and for that the railroads
have given rate of S11.50, tickets to be
on sale only two days.
All effort to induce the railways to
give SO rate for Minnesota day proved
unayailing. However. Minnesota day
comes so soon after Chicago day that
many Northwestern people will go to
the fair on the SO rate and stay for
Minnesota day, as the SO tickets are
good for return up to and including
Oct. 49, But in this feature the shrewd
O0SilISSS udD(l VI SIilCdSO dppdlCDL,
for by this arrangement the great bulk
of the travel from the Northwest is
likely to 90 on the $40 rate, and not
walt for the s1l.5O rate, thus giving the
Windy City the advantage of the five
days stay of our people.
The rush from the Twin Cities on the
SO rate bids fair to be so great that sew
eral of the roads express the fear that
their equipment will fall short of meet
ing the requirements. This fear was
expressed by the Burlington people
yesterday. The Omaha people have
been fitting every available car belong
ing to their system. and say that though
they will have more cars i'll service than
ever in the history of the road, they fear
they will have none too many. The
ST. Paul road finds itself in similar
fix. And there is not line leading
from here to Chicago that will not be
taxed to the utmost limit to carry the
people. The Great Western, the Albert
Lea, and the Wisconsin Central will run
today from three to four extra sleepers,
but will be compelled to press into sery-
Ice still more for tomorrow, and they
hardly know what to do for Sunday.

Eastern roads here are charging that
the Big Four line is taking -four and
grain from East st. Louis to Liverpool
via Newport News al q cents per hun
cred. The best rate other lines make
on this class of freight is SO cents. via
Baltimore. Whether they will meet
this alleged cut by the Big Four is not
knoWD, but there is talk that an east
bound rate war will be the result. 1t is
said that the Big Four can make this
rate without actual loss, because it owns
anu operates line of six steames be-
