cleared. Just as the Defender was ap-
preaching the line, a three-masted schooner
swung across directly in the way. They
were shouted to from all sides to clear the
way, but the skipper paid no attention,
shouting back defiance.
When the Defender sailed proudly over
the finish line she was given a tremendous
ovation, Whistles were footed long and
loud and cannon doomed, and the many
thousand excursionists shouted themselves
hoarse in exultation of Joy over the gallant
American boats big victory.
On the Defender the gentlemen all shook
hands with Mr.. Iselin, who stood on the
companionway with a beaming counte-
nance Woodbury. Kane danced a Jig,
waved his arms windmill fashion, and be-
haved like an overjoyful schoolboy. Mr..
Leeds Rugged Mr.. Iselin, and all hands
seemed to drop decorum and give way to
hilarity.
Eight minutes later when the Valkyrie
finished she was also given splendid re-
ception, which was acknowledged by Lord
Dunraven's party. Immediately after the
finish of the race the feet headed back to
the city and all the way up the bay the
happy spectators of the days race sang
praises for the great American single
sticker.
After crossing the line the Defender took
line from her tug and was towed into the
Horseshoe. She was saluted on the way
by all the steamers that PASSED near,
and steam yachts went out of their
way to fire a gun at her. The VAL
kyrie started for Sandy Hook under
sail. A fine rain which set in just before
the finish was followed by a mist which
hid the yachts from view. At o'clock
she had not reached the Horseshoe, and
her tender, the City of Bridgeport, went
out, and after considerable trouble found
her and towed her in.

ing the result of the race by the copying
OF United Press news in the Chicago AS
ISOLATED Press papers, there was great re-
joicing all over the downtown districts.
At the hotels, in the boating. athletic
and other clubhouses, many bottles of
wine were opened on wagers won and bets
IN money or wine which were made on a

bers OF the University Club went East to
see the races and the Defender wagers
went begging almost at to 1.

Lord Dunraven Admits THAT the VAL

Cup Defender.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 8.-Lord Dun
raven and his friends admit that the Val
kyrie was fairly beaten in yesterdays race,
although they complain that the fleet of
excursion boats end tugs interfered with
the sailing of both yachts.
Not one word could be coaxed from them
about the contest of wits between Captain
Half and Captains Sycamore and Gran
field when the Yankee made them break
off.
Lord Dunraven could not be found, but
Messrs. H. Maitland Kersey and Arthur
Glennie, his representatives, were seen.
When Mr.. Kersey was asked whether he
cared to say anything about the race he
said:
"We were fairly beaten. that's ALL" and
Mr.. G1ennie nodded his assent.
Ibid the excursion boats bother you

note of bitterness.

more?"

Kersey.
''In the first three miles of the race don t
you think the wind favored the Valkyrie
by letting her up point and half?''
"No,' answered Mr.. Kersey.
Didn't the Valkyrie make an extra tack,
making three tacks to the Defenders two,
when you weathered the Defender?"
81 don't know, really" said Mr.. Kersey.
''Oh, we can't say anything about that"
exclaimed Mr.. Glennie.

MANY PAPERS MISLED.
Inaccurate Reports Sent Out by the
Associated Press of Chicago Cor
rected by the United Press.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. Interest
in Washington in the international yacht
race was strung up to the highest pitch,
and was intensified when the three even
ing papers appeared giving directly oppo-
site statements as to the progress of the
race. The Washington Times and News,
both receiving and using the service of the
United Press, assigned the advantage at
the turning point to the American De-
fender. The other paper, the Star, promi-
nentlv identified with the Chicago Asso-
ciated Press, made little yacht story of
its own. 1t led off with two-column
statement OF the efficient service which the
Chicago Associated Press was rendering it,
and closed its clock edition with faring
headlines stating that the English boat
was leading at the turn and that the De-
fender continues to lose.

might be gained in aperture,
then, will be practically lost in the
reflection from the mirror to be en-
ployed in the new Paris instrument.
The light-gathering power of two re-
fracting telescopes, equal in all other
respects, is as the square of their
diameters. The Eerkes lens would
take in only 20 per cent. and the Lick
lens only a trifle more than So per
cent OF the light which the proposed
Paris object glass would. But the
light of the latter will be bedimmed at
least 81 per cent; so that in exchange
for the saving in weight and machin-
cry to handle big tube, such as they
have on Mount Hamilton, there will
be tremendous loss of illumination
and the added bother of keeping the
silvered surface of the siderostat
(which is to have diameter of eighty
inches) in good condition.
The new glass is to be built under
the auspices of the French govern
ment, and if it proves a success, will
be exhibited in the Government
Building at the Exposition of 1900.
