aside from the splendid struggle, a
new record may be created. The
track has been specially prepared
for the occasion, and is now as firm
and smooth as board floor.

They Reckiessly Tried to Reach
SausalitO in a Skiff, but
Failed.

John Arata. booiblack, and j. Demartini,

whiskeIs than 90 boating. They arrived at this
important conclusion Thursday evening after
spending several hours In skin half filled with
water which was drifting toward the sea very
rapidly.
Prolonged h0wls, not common ordinary cries,
attracted the attention of Marine Reporter
Black Of The Merchants Exchange, who was
sailing near AlcatraZ Island, and the crew of
the revenue tug Hartley.
Black went TO The rescue and succeeded IN
saving the hOwers. They were more dead than
alive, being full OF both poor whisky and salt
wafer.

considered high time to shout for help; and
they did shout.

The Navahoe made three long legs and
rounded the first stake boat two minutes
ahead of Qaeen Nab. which was six
minutes ahead of the Emerald. On the
second leg the Navahoe, followed by the

for stake 2. She showed her speed here
also. and quickly pened up the space be-
tween her and the second boat On this
leg the schooner Emerald passed the Wasp

her the prize in her class. The Navahoe
also won her race at this point.

TESTING ARMOR PLATE.
Uniform Textile Strength Is the
Thing to Be Desired,

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-The investiga-
ton of the alleged Carnegie armor-plate
frauds was resumed to-day. Captain
Simpson, chief of the Ordnance Bureau
of the Navy Department, was a witness.
The principal matter of interest was his
opinion of the method of treatment Of
plates by piecemeal, concerning which he
said that plate hardened in one section
and soflened in another was not to be de-
pended on. Captain Simpson said plate
could not be considered uniform if speci-
mems of different PARTS varied 10000
pounds in textile strength. In an extreme
case difference of 5000 or 10000 pounds
might be permitted.
