CITIZENS CUPS.
An Ideal Day For Races At
Newport.
Defender Was Always Ahead OF The
Jubilee.
The Boston Boat Gave the Flyer a
Good Race.

NEWPORT. R. l., Aug. S.---Except s. for
the lack of wind. there was every pros
pect this morning OF an ideal day for the
first days yacht races for the Citizens
cups, prizes offered by the citizens OF
Newport for the fastest boats in the
sloop, yawl and schooner classes. The
races were held under the management
of the racing committee OF the New
York Yacht Club, and were open TO any
yachts connected with recognized clubs.
The entries fer the day were:
Schooners--- Emerald, Marguerite, Alcea
and Neaera.
Sloops--Defender, Jubilee, Queen Nab,
Uvira and Narota.
At o'clock there was only a light
breeze from the southeast, and the water
in the harbor was smooth and unrutfled.
AT that hour none OF the yachts had pre-
pared to go out to the course, and IT was
evident that the start would not be MADE
very early. About 10 O'Clock, however,
they began to move, ana soon most oi
the boats in the harbor were headed out
for the Brentons Reef lightship.
The first days racing for cups offered
by the citizens of Newport will be sailed
off Brentons point today, and Will be
participated in by four schooners and hve
sloops, all of which are sure oil some
prize.
The wind off shore is strong from the
southwest, ana the indications dIc HoN
that the race will be fast one.
Little interest is being taken, how
ever, in the races, and few boats are Out
other than the racers
The start will be made from Brenton'
Reef Lightship and a course OF n miles
seven miles TO leg will be sailed over
twice. The first leg will be to sea dowr
the Narrsgansett shore.
The tug Winslow, used as the com
mittee boat, came out at 1O:3O anc
headed for Brentons lightship, taking ur
her position at 1D:40. The Defender was
out by the lightship as soon as the tug
while all the other boats were well in by
| the Narragansett shore.
The wind is freshening every minute
but heavy mist hung over the water
making II impossible TO see very far
The schooners, Emerald and Marguerite
were the first ever to the -stakebeat, th'
other schooners hanging i'm shore waiting
for the starting signal.
The preparatory signal was given
| IL: :15 n. m.
The starting signal for the sloops wa
at 11i0. The Jubilee was well on to tn
| line and, luffing up, crossed on the por
tack at II 40 80. The Defender crossed OF
| the starboard tack at II ~, but was sool
about and following the jubilee.

Shore. They are coming about on the
starboard tack at IL ;55, the Defender In
the lead, and well up TO windward. The
Emerald leads the Marguerite, but the
latter is further up to windward. Going
down the shore the Defender increases
the gap between her and the Jubilee ana
-overtaking the schooners.
Wind increasing in force and yachts
with lee rails under.
At 1925 both boats are sailing finely,
and although the Defender is outpointing
the Jubilee, the latter is holding her own
nobly.
The run TO the second mark on the
wind was fast, the Defender minuteiy
gaining on the Jubilee. The stakeboat
had as much as she could do to catch the
Defender and lay out the mark.
The Defender is being sailed finely and
it looked as i. she was trying to show the
Jubilee how bsdly she could beat her:
The Defender gybed at 1:1S and 80
seconds.
At II % the sloops were again about and
heading for the first mark, the De-
fender to the leeward OF the Jubilee, who
was giving the new boat great race.
The Jubilee came about at 1881, followed
by the Defender, the latter being still to
leeward 1t was an exciting race at this
point, the two boats being almost abreast
OF each other. At 12:36 the boats were
again about, the Jubilee leading. The De-
fender appeared to round the marx al
| Il: :39 80 aud the Jubilee at II AZ, the De-
fender being about half mile in the lead.
Later she rounded the stake and was well
on her way to the first round when at
| / :26 the Jubilee rounded, gybing timely.
| Spinnakers were not set at any time.
The reach for the finish was fast. The
Defender stood up like house and in
| creased the distance between her and the
| Jubilee every minute. She had her large
| ibtopsail set and all her sails were draw
| ing finely.
When the sloops were half way home
| the schooners appeared out OF the mist
also headed for the finish line. The EN-
! erald was again in the lead.
! At 80 the Winslow took up her posi-
| tion off the lightship and at 1:56:45 the
| Defender crossed and headed for the har'
bor, only going over the course once.
Defender covered the distance In two
hours, fifteen minutes, and forty-fiv'
seconds.
On the leg home the stops holding tn,
foot OF the Defenders clubtopsail to th'
1 spar carried away ana she finished with {
large space between the topsail and tn,
mainsail.
The Jubilee crossed the line at 2:05
Just 10 minutes and 40 seconds behind th
Defender, elapsed time.
Next came the schooners with all sal
piled on. even to the main topmast stay
sail. The Emerald crossed the finish lin
at 2:12:d5 covering the II miles in tw,
hours, Al minutes, 40 seconds.
Marguerite crossed the line at 2;25:20

MORE BLOODSHED
Further 0utrages Reported
From Shanghai.
An Outbreak Against the Christians
At Ching Chew.
Chinese Onlcla's Suspected of Being
the Instivafors of the TrO a bic.

LONDON, Aug. "a dispatch to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Shanghai says
that the furth her and reliable news of an
alarming nature has been received there.
1t is stated the fanatical outbreaks
against the Christians have occurred at
Ching Chow a seaport of the Province OF
Fo-Kien, and at Hupe, Ia-Ping and An
Hui. These outbreaks, 1t is added, are
not merely the work OF yegetarians, but
they are said To be organized and carried
out by Chinese officials. The extent OF
the damage done Is not yet known, but
the foreigners are reported TO have es-
capped.
Owing to the unsettled state OF the
province, 200 Silkhs, reliable British, Indian
troops from Hong Kong, will escort the
British conusl from Foo Chow to ku-
Cheng, where the consul will conduct an
inquiry into the recent outrages. A re-
porter OF The Associated Press has had an
Interview with Mr.. w. w. Rockhill, third
assistant secretay of State OF the United
States, who was one OF the delegates to
the recent International Geographical
Congress, and who returns to New York
on Saturday next. Relieving to the
massacres in China Mr.. Rockhill said he
thought il was a great mistake for the
missionaries to have returned so soon to
the outlying stations after the conclusion
OF the war, especially rs they had been
warned of the danger Of so doing. Mr..
Rockhill could not say anything about
what the United States and the British
governments might be expected to do
under the circumstances, but expressed
himself as being certain that
the different countries interested would
make a common cause OF such cases, as
they did when the Swedish missionaries
were murdered at SangPu.

THE GIRLS ARE SAFE.
Four Young Ladies Supposed To BE
Lost on Pixies Peak Heard From.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. s. 1.-The
alarm entertained for the safety OF the
four young ladies who were supposed to
have been lost on Pixies Peak has been
allayed by a telegram announcing their
safe arrival at the summit. The Misses
Parker, sisters, of st. Louis, Ida NJ.
Wright OF Fulton, N. Y, and Anna War
ner of Ourrie Grove, Iowa, started to
drive up the peak. at the seventh
lake they left their team and driver and
started TO ascend the remainder OF the
distance on foot, being deceived by the
clear air as to the actual distance. On
the way they encountered snow storm
and nearly perished before reaching shel'
ter, a mile from the summit They
rested there and then started back to
where they had left the driver. He,
in the meantime concluded from
the length OF the time they were gone,
that they reached the summit. He started
back toward Manitou. The four ladies
then realized that their only hope was in
reaching the station at the top of the
peak and again they began the ascent
With many difficulties, often falling ex-
hausted on the rocks, they finally reached
the summit, where they were cared for
and remained until morning.

the first started in Flagstaff, and to the
"Arizona Champion.' Fifty-iour
months ago the present proprietor pur-
chased the "Champion" plant. The
plant was small, and the circulation
of the paper less than one hundred sub
scribers.
The plant has been added to from
time until now it is the most complete
job and newspaper outfit in the Ter
ritory.
The subscription list of The Sun has
grown until it has the largest circula-
ton of any newspaper Northern Ari'
zona. During this time The Sun has
labored, in season and out of season,
for the advancement of Flagstaff, Co
conino county and the great coming
State Of Arizona.
Iu the past four years the county OF
Coconino has made many substantial
improvements. The town of Flagstaff
in that time has become incorporated,
and many public Improvements have
been made, and to the efforts of The
Sun, in certain degree, is due the
growth and development Of Flagstaff
and vicinity, and in this The Sun has
had the loyal support of the citizens.
In the future, as in the past, The Sun
will devote its columns to the advance
ment of the interests of this section,
and only asks in return the same sup
port from the public in the future as il
has given in the past.

a Timely Reminder.

Each season forces upon our consid-
GRAFTON its own peculiar perils to
heelth. The advent of fall finds many
reduced in strength and vigor, poorly
prepared to continue the business of
life. The stomach and bowels, the
great highway of animal economy. is
especially liable to disorder in the fall.
The nervous system has also suffered
in the struggle. Typhoid fever and
malaria in particular find in the fall
that combination of earth, air and
water that mark this season as espec-
tally dangerous. The falling leaves,
the decaying vegetables contribute
their share of contamination. Hoods
Sarsapalill furnishes most valuable
safeguard at these important points,
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laid you low.

Punctuaiity in Our schools.

The teachings of punctuality in
school work have been sadly neglected
in our public schools during recent
years, to the de,riment of all pupils
attending school. 1t is wrong idea
to think that .if you are little late
it won't make much difference"
1t is to be hoped that parents will
make an effort to nave their children
at school on time," as nothing is more
annoying to a teacher and to the
pupils present than to have pupil
enter the class room after school has
been called. 1t not only embarasses
the tardy one and keeps him behind
his class, but most likely interrupts
the teacher during an interesting and
instructive recitation.
There is no boy or girl who comes
late to school who does not feel morti-
fed to a certain extent, to be COM.
PEELED to enter the class room and pro-
ceed to his or her seat on tip toe, that
the class at recitation may not be dis
turbed
Parents should think of their own
feelings when young, and spare their
children the embarrassment.
Children are not always to blame
for being late at school. as parents are
sometimes Indifferent to the necessity
of teaching their children the princi-
piles of punctuality. 1t is as little as
parents can do to give their children
the advantages of our public schools,
and to impress upon their minds the
Importance of being always son time"
as well in school work as in the every
day affairs of life.
In order to receive the benefits of
the law regarding the apportionment
of school funds, every one interested
in our schools should remember that
the apportionment is made on the
basis of the average daily attendance;
that there is created a county reserve
fund, to be distributed pro rata among
the districts showing an increased at
tendance over last school year. The
greater the percentage of increased
attendance over last year in any dis
trict, the more that district will receive
of the reserve fund.
