with some impatience. He had arranged
his story with considerable care. He was
prepared to show that he. was the best of
boys at school. the most studious Of stu
dents at the university. the worthiest of
men at all times. He felt sure that when
the record of his life was published, prepa-
rations would be made to erect statue
and a glass window in his honor. And so
he was satisfied.
In due course the interviewer appeared
The man was bland and persuasive. He
requested the celebrity to take chair and
then placed his hand upon his brow. The
celebrity gazed into the eyes of his visitor
with a lack luster stare and then SEEM

On the contrary, the celebrity had come
OUT in rather unflattering colors. So that
eminent man was simply furious. He had
sent for his interviewer, and awaited once
more his arrival with Impotence. In due
course his biographer turned up.

his protest with the members of the re-
gatta committee.
It have nothing to say" said Mr.. Iselin,
after his return from the Luckenback
when seen by reporter aboard the steam
yacht Necker. 1.-The matter Is In the hands
of the regatta committee, which will de-
eide as to our protest. Mr.. lselin stated
that the regatta committee would not
make public their decision until tomorrow
Nat Herreschoff, Defenders designer, was
seen by a reporter about Defender after
the race. He was asked to explain just
how the accident had occurred.
"You saw how it all happened" said
Mr.. Herreschoff. 1T was pity, because
Defender was in excellent trim otherwise
Defenders topmast shroud caught in Val
kyries boom and carried away the end
of he starboard spreader, which IS made
of brass. 1t also sprung the topmast
little above the masthead
Capt. Half Worked Up.
Captain Half was very much wrought
I'D on account of the accident. You
know this matter has been referred to
the committee" he said, land 1 can't talk
about it,
did you shout for room?" was asked.
Room? Man alive" said Capt. Half,
waving his arms in the air, why should
shout for room when there was no neces-
sity. There was plenty of room. He delib-
sion for this at all, and he had plenty of
room. We were heading exactly Tor the
lightship when she swung Off. Mr.. lselin
told me to keep her right straight and we
u, We were then at the lower end of the
IN. He was not satisfied to have clear
course. He was following me all the time
1 wanted to keep away from him, but ne
would follow me right up. Why, 1t was
lust like he did on Saturday. He bore me
square off. We had the lightship to steer
by. The whole thing amounts to this: He
got so close to us that he got ratified That
bolt on the end of his boom caught our
topmast shroud. 1t was all piece OF TOOL
ishness on his part"
Capt. Crnnfield's View.
Capt Cranfield said that Valkyrie was
not to blame for the foul. when Defender
came up under our lee she got becalmed,"
said he, land she righted up to an even
keel so that her sails touched ours aloft.
Our mainboom catching her backstay was
purely an accident. 1t could not have been
avoided"
"Supposing the protest is sustained and
the committee awards the race to Defen-
der what will be done then?' Capt. Gran
field was asked.
Lord Dunraven will probably go back to
England and race no more.
What If it Is not allowed?'
"Oh, that'll be all right"
The Point in Dispute.
Both boats were on the starboard tack at
the time of the accident, so both claimed
that they had the right of way. 1t was a
question among the experts who were look
ing on whether Defender was at that mo-
ment the overhauling boat. If she had
been, it was, according to rules, her place
to give way The fine point came in the
discussions of the sharps whether Defen-
der, who had been blanketed, and who had
then fallen back in speed because of her
luff, was the overhauling vessel.

SOMETHING NEW IN BOWLING.
A NOiseless Alley Now In Use In New
York.

York.
noiseless bowling alley is the latest
thing for bowlers to wonder at. A compo-
sition, brown in color, which looks very
much like rubber, has been glued on the
wooden strips 1t is about a quarter Of an
inch thick. Along the cutters are strips Of
wood to hold the composition tight. 1t
covers the entire alley.
Two bowling spheres covered with rub
Der and set Of pins which are also ar
ranged in the same manner are used. At
the base of each pin a layer Of leather
about half an inch deep is applied. Several
crack players have already tried the alley
and rolled up high scores. From the time
the ball leaves the players hands until the
pin boy throws it into the incline not
sound is heard. This will hardly be relished
by the bowlers or spectators however. The
rumble of the ball 1t glides down the
polished wood, and the loud noise that fol-
lows when the sphere meets the pins. seem
to add a charm to the game.

When the Sacarappa minister arrived at

said to him: mir. Jones, l do hope today
that in your prayer you will made an
especial effort for rain. Our crops are be-

was about making his petition, he said:
"Oh, Lord, pray Thee that Thou wouldst
send copious rains upon the soil of Scar

harvest. and that the people will be made
glad. and, oh, Lord! they will bless you for

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 6-The
Cambridge athletes who are to meet Yale's

express themselves as well satisfied with
their surroundings. They have visited

declare il to be fine ground.
The men will NJ t begin to practice un-
til p. IN. daily owing to the heat,
which, although not considered excess
sive here, told on the Englishmen yester-
day. They say it was much cooler in En-
gland before they started. Today the
weather is more to their liking, and there
is a cool, refreshing breeze blowing
through the city.
Their practice will be light until the
arrival Of Jack White in this city. At
present he is devoti " his time TO the
athletes I'm New Y,rk who are TO enter
the New York Athletic Club meet. The
practice will not be private. Captain Ho-

field unless the crowd becomes SO large
as TO interfere with the men.
In the matter OF diet the American
principle of abstaining from supposed
Injurious food is not folowled. The men
eat what they like, drink freely OF ale
and smoke. Some of them, Captain Ho-
ran says, DO not change their habits even
the day before the contest. The first
practice will begin this afternoon on Yale
field at o'clock.
