New York, Sept. S.-The result Of the
mcasurer's work on the yachts was a
treat surprise. No good judge thought
hat he English yacht would give
over a minute and a half In a thirty
mile course to the Defender, yet many
capable critics said that the challenger
would give Il minute. but that she
should yield less than a half-minute
was astonishing to all the smart peo-
pie. When Mr.. Byslop brought the
measurements to the New York Yacht
club house he said that the Valkyrie
would ave to all ow Defender 20. 10
seconds 1t was only his business, he
added, TO turn the measurements to
the regatta committee and let that
committee decide what the time al
lowance would be. Nevertheless. he
felt that 29.1O seconds was the fair
thing. The committee considered the
question for a long time and finally
posted up a notice on the clubs bull

lowance would be 20 seconds, leaving
on Mr.. Byslop's added one-tenth OF a

Helena, Mont, Sept S-Ihere was a
noticeable shock Of earthquake soon
after midnight last night. People
asleep in hotels and dwellings were
suddenly awakened and rushed panic
stricken to the street. The larger
buildings shook perceptibly. Much ex-
citement was caused and In many
cases the residents did not dare to go
back to their dwellings all night, but
remained in the streets. No great
damage was done. however.
The oldest of the old timers cannot
recall Il more severe shock. Not only
was the traditional crockery shaken
from shelves and cupboards, bric-a-
brac hurled from mantels, and win
dows ratified in their easements, but
people rushed from their homes in
alarm lest the walls should tOtter and
fall upon them. The shock seemed to
come from the south and the vibra-
tons lasted full a minute with three
aggravated periods wherein the oscil-
lations were most violent. The move
uent was from south TO north. Peo-
pie were awakened from sound sleep
and those living in brick houses felt ii,
