THE YACHT RACE
How 1t Will Be Reported in
The News.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8. 5.-Saturday's inter-
national yacht race will be the occasion for
an innovation in the means of transmit
ing news OF the progress of the contest
between the champion boats of England
and America, which will mark q long
step forward in the business of reporting
aquatic events. Up TO this time, accurate
and speedy reporting OF such an event as
yacht race has been attended with great
difficulty. Watchers stationed at various
points OF vantage on the coast near the
course laid out for the yachts have given
the public such information obtaina BILE
OF the progress OF the race, following as
best they could the various maneuvers OF
the yachts, and estimating as closely as
might be the distance which separated
the craft as the race progressed. When il
is recall ed that observation in this man.
ner Is at distance sometimes of az much
as Is or 20 miles, and that often fog and
more frequently haze obstruct the view,
the difficulty OF accurately reporting a
yacht race may he realized. II has, in a
number of instances, been impossible for
thesnewspapers TO give accurate informa-
tion as TO times of crossing the starting
line, turning the stake boats and finish
ing the race, until reporters who had
been detailed TO follow the yachts on
board tugs could reach land and commu-
nicate with their papers, sometimes a
matter OF an hour or more.
NOW, however, tne PUBIC OF Doth the
old and the new world are TO have prompt
and accurate information of the yacht
races between Defender aud Valkyrie III
as they progress, through the enterprise
of the Commercial Cable Company. This
company's steamer, Mackay- Bennett, will
lay submarine cable to the scene OF the
yacht races. The end of the cable will be
on board and specially connected with
England and France, through the COM
pany's main ocean cable, landing at
Coney Island. The Postal Telegraph
Company will also have an office on board
the Mackay- Bennett, and will forward
kilograms to all points in the United
States and Canada.
The NEWS will receive its dispa tches
from this cable service over its special
wire running directly into its editorial
rooms.

is severe blow. this bill, to the good

that. Our commercial Interests demand
this. and we shall he criminally negii-

candidate will have to pass examina-

even know the constitution of the
United States, and besides that must
actually understand how to spell ut

enough, he must he between the ages OF
q and a. and must be familiar with the
history of all the worlds most impor-
tant treaties ''from the peace of West

years any longer get the small recogni-
