Irrigation In South Dakota.

A special telegram from Pierre says
arrangements have about been per.
fected by John II. Baldwin, state en-.
gIneer OF irrigation, to give irrigation
by the use Of artesian wells a praCti.
cal test this season. The Hunter
farm at Mellette, will be turned over
to the government experiment station,
of Brookings college, for that purpose,
and an experienced California irriga'
tor has been employed to see that
the water Is put upon the ground IN q
practical manner.
The Salzer Seed Company, OF La
Crosse, Wis, and Harry Hunter, Of
the Milwaukee road. are furnishing the
greater portion OF the capital. In all
about 800 acres OF corn, wheat, oats
and potatoes will be irrigated.
The irrigator, six days in each
month, will be at liberty to 60 to any
point in the state. under the dir. 2tion
OF the engineer OF irrigation, and give
instructions in irrigation. 1t is the
intention of these gentlemen to settle
this question once for all, whether
irrigation with artesian wells is practi'
cal or not.
Mr.. Baldwin talks very encourag'
ingly of artesian work in South Da'
kota. He reports applications Tor
wells in several counties OF the james
river valley and work in progress:
both toward location and sinking OF
wells in different portions Of the state
Brule county has gone to work more
systematically in this line than any
other county of the state. Wells have
been sunk in nearly every township,
and where none have yet been SUNK
the residents are moving to secure
such water supply. Commissioner
Baldwin is devoting the greater parS
OF his attention this spring toward
practically using the water from wells
already made. and to retain surface
water by means OF dams and reser'
voirs.

Excitement among yachtsmen was
at fever heat all day. Everybody
had an opinion to express. OF course
most persons upheld the committee,
from patriotic motives if nothing
else. There were good many, how
ever, who championed Valkyrie and
her cause. There were others who
said that the committee ought to
have given the race to Valkyrie be-
cause Defender could beat her any
how. While thinking the whole mat
ter over, old-timerS recalled the ac-
ton of Sir Richard Sutton, the own
er of Genesta, who raced against
Puritan in 1885. 1t was remembered
tainly fouled the Genesta at the
start. When the committee sent
word to Sir Richard that Puritan
had been disqualified, and that he
could sail over the course alone, he re-
piled that he did not desire to win that
/ way, and wanted a race. He showed
himself to be a sportsman. Lord
Dunraven has shown in this case
that he is not the quitter that some
have tried to make him out, by say
ing tonight at the Waldorf hotel that
he would certainly be on hand to
race tomorrow.
REMEASURED BY .HYSLOP.
Defender and Valkyrie were both
dry-docked today in the Erie Basin

RLL ST. PHUL TURNED OUT.

or dissatisfaction was apparent, al
though it meant struggle to get on
some cars and nearly always a crush
to get off.
When the bulk of the crowd had
gotten to the ground the buildings
became uncomfortably filled. Even
the broad walks and the by-paths
were thronged to a humping degree.
1t was a matter of considerable
lodging to get through any build
ing, or any part of the grounds, with
out being jostled and hustled this
way and that.
Oh, but it was hoti And it kept
getting hotter, until the thermometer
registered three to five degrees above
the top mark of Tuesday. Anything
that was cold was in demand, no
matter what it's name, color or char
acter might be.
THOUGHT OF THE FUTURE.
AS Congressman Joel Heatwole sat
on the cool, breeze-swept piazza of
the G b e building and watched
Gov. Clough and country accuaint-
Ance drift byin the sweltering crowd,
under a friendly umbrella, it was
easy to see that he was soliloquizing
on the possible heat of the next Re-
publican state convention.
Every available foot of shade was
utilized to the utmost. Big and little
men joined the women and the chill
dren in pre-empting grassy corners
where the shadow of building pro-
tected them from the blistering orb
in the hot heavens above. Strangers
became chummy in exchanging opin-
ions on the Scorchiness of the open
walks, and democracy was the rule
There were men without coats every
where, and some had even shed their
vests. They looked as cool as fishes
alongside the women in fashionable
gowns with many yards of unneces-
sary material and several pounds of
killing weight to drag around. Lean
people did not seem to be a whit
easier than fat folks-all sweltered
and mopped themselves with hand
kerchiefs damp and sticky. Fellows
with high standing collars looked
like victims of torture treatment,
and many fashionable choker wilt
ed like a delicate plant in a killing
frost.
The machinery pavilions were IA
vorable places to sit and rest, be-
cause their elevated location gave
the benefit of an occasional whiff of
cool air. Crowds were in possession
all day long, and never once to the
close at night did the number seem
to diminish in the least.
1t was great day in spite of the
heat, the dust and the plunging,
painting crowd. No prostrations were
reported, and only one call for a doc
tor was made, in the case of a child
who had eaten too many varieties
of candy and fruit.

the New York Yacht club, entered
the Boston dockyard, in which the
dry docks are situated, with his
black handbag in tow. Their aston
ishment increased when they saw the
official remove his steel tape from
the aforesaid bag and turn to meas
ure the yachts for the third time. 1t
was dark when he began, but lights
were soon brought to bear on the
Hyslop's first attempt to measure
boats by artificial light. 1t was said
that Lord Dunraven had asked for
one more measurement, in the hope
that by dint of extraordinarily Sc
we're stripping Valkyrie's water line
could yet be reduced so that the
twenty-nine seconds time allowance
she gives Defender could be wiped
out. 1t was certain that the English
boat was bare of everything that
could be removed under the rules.
On the City Of Bridgeport, Valkyries S
tender, were Rear Commodore Ar
thur Glennie, Designer Watson and
Sailmaker Ratsey. These gentlemen
had no opinion to express on the re-
gatta committees decision. Capt.
Hank Haff, on the Defender, ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr. Iselin
had no power to call yesterdays race
off, even if he felt so inclined. The
captain thought that the multiplying
of yesterdays event lay entirely with
the Americas cup committee.
THE DECISION.
By sustaining the protest entered by
the Defender in yesterdays race and
awarding it to the Defender, the race
could not be sailed again except by
consent of both owners. The following
! is the letter of the regatta committee
of the yacht club sustaining the pro-
test of c. Oliver Iselin, on behalf of
Defender, regarding the foul claimed
against Valkyrie:
New York Yacht Club, Sept. II, 1895.
.C. Oliver Iselin, Esq.-Dear Sir: We
! beg to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of yesterday protesting Valkyrie.
We have given the matter our careful
/ consideration, and believe that the foul
i OCCURRED through the miscalculation of
| the distance between the two yachts at
critical moment
From our observation, sustained by
! that of others who were in a good posi-
! tion to see, we find that the Valkyrie,
In controvention of section of racing
! rule 10, bore down upon the Defender
and fouled her by the swing of her main
| boom, when luffiing to straighten her
| course We also consider that Defend
/ er allowed Valkyrie sufficient room to
! windward to pass clear of the COM
| mittee boat.
Your protest is therefore sustain
| 1t was nearly o'clock this evening
when the following was fastened on
| the bulletin board at the New York
Yacht club housei

state that, before arriving at a decis-
ion on Defenders protest, they en-
deavored to bring about a mutual

LOUISVILLE,K Ky. Sept 1.-THE st.
Paul committee was very busy today
in visiting G. A. r. headquarters and
receiving and entertaining delegates
and veterans at their own, while
pushing their city's claim for the
next encampment. The committee
is as confident as ever of success,
having pledged a number of states,
among them Iowa, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Texas, Oregon, Washington,
North Dakota, Montana, Alabama,
Missouri, Maine, Massachusetts In
diana, New Jersey and Oklahoma.
Denver is making vigorous cam
paign. Its delegates openly boast
that they will spend $4,000 to win,
and are entertaining lavishly. They
are strongly backed by their rail-
roads, and have railroad representa-
tives on the ground promising every
thing in rates and service. It looks
like purely railroad deal. Buffalo
also urges that st. Paul cannot offer
proper rates, and is making a CAM
paign on that ISSUE
There is no doubt that the ques-
ton Of railroad service will control
the decision. There is much dissat-
isfaction with the manner in which
the roads have handled the business
this year. The service has been in
adequate and the trains from twelve
to fifteen hours late. The rates only
were satisfactory. The members of
the st. Paul committee justly feel
that they are not being properly
treated by the Northwestern lines,
who have thus far not given the
hearty cooperation hoped for, which
is very different from the attitude
Of the roads in other sections. The
committee may be asked to guaran-
tee rate of one cent per mile and
give assurance of adequate service.
The New York delegation to the en-
campment held a meeting tonight and
passed resolution calling for the ap-
po-ntment of a committee of fifteen,
with Col Shaw as chairman, for th3
purpose of working to secure the next
encampment for Buffalo. 1t was also
decided that New York would ask for
no office, but would use all it's influ-
ence in behalf of Buffalo.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE yacht
races for the Americas cup of 1895
will remain in history as the most
exciting that ever took place up to
this date. Not that the capabilities
OF the boats have been so evenly
matched as in some other races, such
as the second race of the Puritan
and Genesta series, and the third be-
tween Vigilant and Valkyrie H., but

vailed among the people from the
very time that the match was made.

EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY.

Good nature ruled everywhere, and
probably the most tired person who
came in last night on the last car
would not have missed being there,
even if he knew in advance that he
would be dead tired and most fear
fully heated at the wind-up.
Inquiry at Secretary RandalPs Of
flee last evening elected the informa-
ton that pretty close to $4,000 people
were circulating about the fair
grounds yesterday. Of these prob
ably 10000 to $4,000 represented paid
admissions. 1t requires a small
army of attendants to run the vari-
Gus departments and exhibits of a
state fair, and the members of this
army pay no admission. President
Weaver spoke to the G o man
in a jubilant mood, because observa-
ton had convinced him that he is
the executive head of the greatest
