| OF going to Jersey City, where he said
| he would marry Katie that evening.
Instead OF that, they went to Snake
Hill, where after eating luncheon in a
retired spot, Altenberger pulled out a
revolver and deliberately shot her.

ENGLAND FEELS PROUD.
Hopes for More Yale-Oxford Ath
Ietfc Contests.
(By Associated Press.)

tBy Associated Press
LONDON. July 1.-THE Standard, in
a leading article on the athletic contests,
regrets that the weather threw obstacles
in the way Of the Yale mems practice,
besides injuring the track. The Amer
leans were probably at some disadvan-
tage in the contests. but there was GER
tainly nothing to discourage them from
repeating their spirited experiment.
The Daily News says that the middle
of July is the most inconvenient time for
the oxford men. who have thus all the
more reason to feel proud Of their VIC
tory. The meeting was a genuine sue
cess. Though the Yale team were beaten
they were actuated by thorough sports
manlike spirit, and have no cause to
regret their visit.
The Sportsman says that could the
Britishers have foreseen the net issue
they might well have shown themselves
more generous Rivalry was keen among
the spectators, and no disguise was made
of their feelings. The note OF exultation
in the Yankees "Quack, Quack," cry
was taken as a challenge. We had been
stretched on the rack of expectation too
long so we could not stand trifing with.
The Sporting Life says: ut was al
together a famous day. 1t is the general
opinion that similar contests should be a
fixture Of the London season.

1T WAS HARD LUCK.
London Times Explains the Defeat
of vi9ilant Yesterday.

by Associated Press)
LONDON, July 1.-THE Times's re-
port of the yacht race of yesterday says:
"Vigilant acquitted herself well. A
westerly breeze OF full backyard topsail
strength prevailed at the opening Of the
match. but heavy squalls Of wind and
rain passed over during the day, and the
spars and gear of both vessels at times
were sorely tried.
"Vigilant, as in all previous matches.
was more than a match for Britannia
when the wind laid on smartly. while
Britannia had the turn in softer breezes.
At the end of the second round it seemed
as If Vigilant would get her maiden vic
tory in British waters, but she was
stopped by lul in the wind just before
squat, Britannia meanwhile carrying
trickling air along which eventually
landed her in leading position.
THE clipping of her spars has doubt
less improved Vigilant in moderate
weather."
