No RAcE.-The American yacht Vigilant
aud the English cutter Valkyrie started out
Yesterday of Sandy Hook to settle the inter-
national question as to which is the queen
yacht of the world, but after alternate spells
of racing, drifting and waiting for wind they
gave up the contest at the expiration of the
time limit. 1t was long after dark when the
yachts abandoned the drifting match off
Highland Beach and hailed their tugs. They
were fully seven miles from the finish and
they had been sailing for six hours. The
Sigilant had turned the outer mark seven
minutes ahead of the Valkyrie, and was lead
ing about half mile when the time expired.
The fortunes of each had varied during the
day. The English boat led for the first three
hours, but the American turned the outer
mark seven minutes ahead and led half mile
at the expiration Of the time limit They
will sail again tomorrow.

Evan Lewis Defeats Ernest Roeber at New
Orleans.

Evan Levin Defeats Ernest Roeber at New
Orleans.
The New Orleans Olympic Clubs fistic carni-
val opened last night with about 1.5O0 persons
in the hail. which has seats for 5000 persons.
William Mcmillan Of Washington, ID. C., de.
feated William Hines Of Providence. r. l., a;
boxing, and Evan Lewis won the wrestling
match from Ernest Roeber. Lewis tipped the
scales at 1855 pounds. Prof. Duffy, who acted
as referee, announced that the strangle hold
was barred
Both men locked arms and Lewis tripped
Roeber TO the floor. He NJ once went TO work
TO secure his famous hammer lock and half
Nelson, from which Roeber squirmed with the
agility OF cat Roeber acted on the defensive
lying fat on his stomach. After two trails the
Stranger secured the hammer lock successfully,
the German squirming out of il only to find
himself in the embrace Of full Nelson and leg
hold. which brought him TO a bridge.
Exerting his ponderous strength the
Stranger slowly but surely bore Roeber to the
mat, securing the first fall in seven minutes
and six seconds.
Both men at the expiration Of the minute 8
rest locked arms for the Greco- Roman bout
At the expiration OF ten minutes both men were
perspiring freely, as they found that hold of
| any kind was difficult to retain. Roeber slipped
to the floor, Lewis taking a stomach clasp,
pumping the Germans wind.
Roeber took a neck hold. but could not main.
tain his advantage. Getting a hold from be-
hind Roeber lifted the Stranger from the
floor and fell with him, but TO no advantage
Both men worked like demons. first one on
| the top and then the other
Roeber secured firmly lock ID half Nelson
and gradually working the Stranger TO a bridge
wore him down with shoulder tug securing
the Grsco-Roman fall in twenty-eight min
utes twelve seconds.
The third bout, catch-as-catch-cau, was
clearly Lewis victory in less than thirty sec
onds. He secured a neck hold and with a
grapevine gave Roeber a flying fall, landing
him squarely on his shoulders
Referee Duffy was not prepared FOR such
sudden action and failing to see both points
down disallowed the fall
Lewis finally secured half Nelson hold,
which brought Roeber to a bridge. and then
taking leg hold he crushed the German two
points down IN II minutes and seconds
The fourth bout was Greco-Romsn stvle.
The stranger went to work as thong b
his life depended on ending the bout in i've
minutes.
Roeber, however. won the fall in twenty-four
minutes and forty-three seconds. The stranger
having secured the quickest fall had the selec-
ton Of the deciding bout and chose his favor
lite le-catch-as-catch-can. Lewis went at
Roeber like mailman. and securing neck hold
and hip lock gave Roeber hyiug fall in one
minute and three seconds, winning the final
bout and the match for the championship OF
the world at mixed styles.
Although the hall had capacity for 5000.
only about 500 were present. Wrestling is
too scientific for the average sport and con-
seQuently not popular.

NARKsvILLE, La, March 3-This parish

west to northwest.
Never in the history Of this parish has such
destruction been seen. Its path presents q
scene which is indeed pitiful and which battles

dences stood.
In addition to the violence there was a rain
which poured in volumes for about two hours.
1t began with and was a part of the misfortune
Of the occasion, for all who were left homeless
were exposed to it when they sought to extri-
cate those who were lying beneath the wreck.
1t is a strange fact that only two persons

wounded, some seriously, while others are
slightly hurt.

7th and 18th streets, although above and below
these points there is . lavish display Of flags
and bunting. Beginning at It'll street the first
display to attract attention 10 that Of Saks
Co. Their huge building is almost hidden with
flags and bunting caught in graceful folds here
and there, and relieved at intervals by tri-
colored streamers- Flags spring from every
window, and altogether the display 10 one
worthy Of commendation. Along Market
space johnson & LuttreII. the Boston
Variety Variety Store; Rich, London Bazaar and
decorated. Hoeke's. Minnix, Fonda 4 Co. and
Perrys all vie with each other In handsome and
tasty decorations. Between 9th and 10th streets
shusters and the Adams Express Company are
striving for the honors, while Droop and Ellis
have their respective buildings decorated in .
mastery manner. Nearly all Of the buildings on
the south side Of the avenue between 9Th and
10th streets are decorated. The principal ones
are James F. Oyster, H. L Gregory, Indepen-
dent Ice Company and O'Brien's. Between 10th
and llth streets, Williams, McElroy,. Towles,
Guy Tappan and Sickles. On the south side Of
the street between the points named Schneiders,
kernans and Harvey's are by long odds the
handsomest
The STAR Office, at the corner Of 18th and
and Pennsylvania avenue, is deliberately deco
rated. Over the main entrance there IL large
sunburst of stars, while each window 10
crowned with . miniature Of the same. The
building is q constellation, for there are stars
everywhere and they peek out from behind the
national colors.
The massive white front Of Calls stands out
in bold relief with its fine dress of bunting.
Along this block Harris 4 Shaffer, George W.
Corcoran and the Palais ROYAL are also taste
fully decorated. Following between 18th and
18th streets Ograms, Fultons, Crowleys, De
Alleys, F. G. Smith, Haucock's, Heidenheimer's
and Jacobs buildings are gay with color. The
Richmond and Danville Railroad Company
looks pleasing, and the decorations bear evi-
dence of careful study Of effects. The Hotel
Lawrence with two mammoth pictures of tho
President and Vice President-elect, is swathed
in bunting, while the Shoemaker Company next
door looks as if it were built entirely OF flags.
Gerstenberg's, Becker's and the B. and o. build
ing are also decorated. Wizards Hotel looks
like q sunburst with rainbow Accomplishments.
while the Owen House and Randall Hotel are
prettily decorated. Up 18th street nearly all
Of the buildings are decorated, the browning
triumph being the Riggs Bank. The buildings
along Pennsylvania avenue between 18th street
and the end of the line are all more or less
decorated. This is especially so regarding the
private houses.
