There was other music in the air, including the music of merry voices and laughter provoked by the merry-makers of the expedition. Mine Host Forbes set out for the party one of his best and most relishing spreads, to which, it is needless to say, the hap py party did justice.

MRS. LANGTRY ROBBED.
Jewels Valued at 100000 Taken
from a Depository on
Forged Order.

London, Sept. 19-During the absence
of Mrs. Langtry on the continent, forged
order was presented at her bank for her
jewel box, which contained 100000
worth of jewels. The box was deliy
cred to the bearer of the order. Mrs.
Langtry returned home a few days ago
and today she sent to the bank for her
jewels, when she learned that the box
had been delivered under the circum-
stances as indicated, on August "a. Mrs.
Langtry Immediately drove to the Office
of Sir George Lewis, O. c., her legal
adviser, and informed him of what had
taken place. Scotland Yard was at once
notified of the robbery.
Up to the present time no trace has
been found of the missing jewels. There
is reason to believe that the value placed
upon the jewels which have so mysteri-
ously disappeared is not exaggerated, as
they have long been famous and included
three tlaras, one being of diamonds and
pearls, another of diamonds and rubies
and third of diamonds and turquoises,
besides several necklaces and rivieres
The box in fact contained nearly all
the gems and precious stones that Mrs
LangtrE possessed.
The order upon which it was delivered
was written on paper marked with Mrs
Langtry's town address. p Pont street,

HALF-RATERS' RACE.
English Yacht Succeeds in Blank
citing the EthelWynn at
the Start.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept. 23.-Indica-
lions of the early morning for the inter-
national half-raters' race today were
much the same as were those of Satur>
day, and the yachtsmen who waited over
for the purpose of seeing the first race or
the match were looking worried. ne
waters of the bay were unrutt1ed. Inc
yachts and crews were ready to race and
all hands were praying for wind TO
come along before the starting hour.
Before 10 O'Clock the hopes of the anx>
ious were raised by the appearance OF
ripple coming over the sound from the
northwest and the prospect of race
doomed up into quite respectable proper
tions. If this breeze holds the yachts
will prOba bly, start as on Saturday on
run of three miles out before the wind
from the Center island buoy. The course
will be the same, three miles out and
back, and repeat, making total OF
twelve miles.
The preliminary signal was given at
1870, the preparatory signal at 1Z:4O
and the starting signal at 12:4o. The
Ethelwynn got over the line first and
started away on the run before the wind.
The Spruce ". followed eight seconds
later. Both set spinnakers immediately.
The English boat succeeded IN blanket
ing the Yankee and at :O5 she had run
by the Ethelwynn. The course is north
cassidy east, and the wind is blowing
five miles an hour.
The run out was a remarkably close
and interesting race as seen from the
Seawanahaka clubhouse on Center ISL
and The Eth elwynn overhauled her OPP
ponent and the yachts stood on almost
even terms for long time. This was
more noteworthy. because Spruce did
such fast work off the wind on Saturday.
Who rounded the outer mark first could
not be seen perfectly from the observatory
on the clubhouse but it looked like Spruce
first with small difference between the
contestants.
After rounding, they stood in on the
starboard tack for the Long Island shore
and Ethelwynn appeared to gain very
much when both were clOse-hauled on the
first tack for home.
The Ethelwynn displayed excellent
windward work and continued to gain
on the English boat. At 2:3S the Ethel
wynn led, it was estimated, by three
on the port tack and would probably
make the work of the first round in three
more tacks.
On the beat to the second turn the
Ethelwynn clearly had the best of the
game. She was remarkably quick in
stays and pointed very high. The Spruce
was little slower in coming about, but
followed up pluckily. The Ethelwynn
left the second mark on her starboard
quarter at 3:02:O2 and broke out her
spinnaker Immediately to port, but was
not able to get it set until twenty sec
onds after she left the mark.
The Spruce ". rounded at 3:0S:O1.
leaving the mark on the same side as did
the Ethelwynn. She broke out her spin
maker at 3:09:15 and began to run on the
third leg in good form.

CHICAGO BOARD WINS.
Elevator Men Who Deal in Grain
Have Their Licenses Re-
VOked.

Chicago, ILL.,. Sept. 23.-The Chicago
board of trade was victorious today in its
fight on the grain elevator men, the state
railway and warehouse commission de-
claring that the licenses of all elevator
owners dealing in grain through their
own warehouses shall be revoked. The
fight has been 4 long and bitter one, as
the warehouse owners had stubbornly re-
sisted the attempts to compel them to
cease buying and selling grain. The mat
ter was finally referred TO the railway and
warehouse commission, the longdeferred
decision being rendered today. The ele-
vator people declared that they would at
once apply for injunctions restraining the
reyoking Of their license and the war
will probably be continued in the courts.
The following elevator licenses were
ordered revoked: The Seaverns, South
Chicago, Santa Fe. Rock Island, Central
Elevators. Keith, Chicago, National and

DURRANT'S DEFENSE.
Attorneys Claim He Left Blanche
Lamont at Market and
Powell Streets.

San francisco, Cal, Sept. 23-Thirty-
seven witnesses, not counting the silent
one which point forever to the murderer
of Blanche Lamont, have given their
testimony in the nine weeks that have
elapsed since the commencement Of the
Durrant trial. Half q score more will
take the stand for the prosecution dur
ing the present week. The district at
torney is sanguine that he can put in
his case not later than Wednesday even

torneys for the accused are putting the
finishing touches on their opening state
ment and will be ready TO present it
when called upon.

effect that Durrant joined Blanche La
mont at Clay and Powell streets at 3
O'Clock on the afternoon of April 3 last.
He will admit that the young woman
and the medical student got on the car
together and rode in the direction of
Market street. Upon the arrival of the
two, however, at Market and Powell,
they separated. Miss Lamont going in
one direction, Theodore Durrant in an
other, bent upon keeping an engagement
