Cincinnati, April 22.-In drilling a
well in Hamilton county, Indiana, for
oil. at a depth of 900 feet, the drill APP
parently dropped Through q. rock and a
rush of water followed that submerged
the derrick and drove off the work
men. The drill was finally removed

vent, and ever since the water has
been escaping at a rate that threatens
to submerge the neighborhood. The
water escapes through a six inch pipe
and is fifty feet above the top of the
derrick which is itself eighty feet high.
The force Of the water Is such that
the column as it has been swayed
from side to side by the wind has
knocked the cross-timbers from the
upper part of the derrick, leaving
nothing but the upright pieces. The
roar can be heard for miles. The
water is salty. A channel will be
started to the nearest creek or river,

SEA AND SAIL,
First Actual Race of the New Cup
Defender.

First Actual Race of the New Cup-
Defender.
New York, April 22.-While it is not
generally known, the defenders first
actual race will take place on the sound
July 4, when she will try her wings
against the Vigilance in the Larchmont
Yacht clubs annual yacht race.
Owing to the great draught of the new
cup-defender, Mr.. Iselin is rather opposed
to racing the defender in the sound, the
new boat, if all accounts are true, will
draw something like IS or 10 feet of
water, and while this is hardly as much
as the Vigilant draws with her center
board down, still, if the defender should
touch bottom it would prove serious.
while boat like the Vigilant might es-
cape with little or no damage beyond
the possible loss of her board.
In view of the fact that the safety Of
the American cup rests almost entirely
with the defender Mr.. Iselin naturally
feels that he has no right to make any
changes with the new boat.
