VALKYRIE'S FOUL.


times were Valkyrie. 3.55 09; Defender,
3. Sc. 25. The Valkyrie allows the Defen-
der go ITO seconds, and the Valkyrie
started one minute and two seconds
ahead. Corrected times are, Valkyrie,
3. So. 40; DefeDdr, 3.55. Sc. The Valkyrie
won in AZ seconds corrected time. The
Defender made most remarkable show
ing under the circumstances and her SUI
periority was clearly marked on every
point of sailing, even in her crippled con-
dition.
AT the finish there was the usual scene
of excitement with patriotic Americans
for once .saluting a British yacht. The
Defender received the greater ovation OF
the two, and her plucky fight ELECTED
much praise from the yaohtsmen. Both
yachts were towed to Bay Ridge where
they are anchored for the night. Tomor-
row new topmast will be put onto the
Defender.
The regatta committee stopped it's boat
at Bay Ridge on the way to the city, and
Mr.. Iselin made verbal protest. in re-
gard to the fouling.
Mr.. Bush the club representative on
the British boat was asked by the COM
mittee to put his version of the affair.
At 10. 30 D. M, the following notice was
posted on the bulletin board at the club:
"The Defender protests the Valkyrie
on thu grounds that she bore down on
l6T JuSU D0lUIc IcftCIlluSS UAiO oldl UAnS lIuo,
thereby causing a foul which resulted in
carrying away of her spreader and the
spring ling of her topmast.

faith in the Hereshoff boat had been ire
mendously strengthened and that the cup
was safe.
ANOTHER RUMOR.
1t is rumored tonight that the regatta
committee which had been considering
the Defenders protest decided in favor
of the Valkyrie and declared the contest
race. The report could not be verified.
1t is said the committee will hold an
other meeting tomorrow.
Will Not Decide Until Today.
New York, September 10.-The regatta
committee will not decide the protest be-
fo1e tomorrow. 1t is generally believed
that the decision will be in favor of the
Defender.
Cranfield Defends His Course.
New York, September 10-The Tribune
tomorrow will print an interview with
Captain Crandeld Of the Valkyrie He
defended his course, and said he could
not see how the Defenders protest could
fairly be sustained. The reporter in
quired: "Shall you expect to run the
against yonY' "Well, don't know, .
he added with just shadow of smile.
II rather think If the protest is upheld
we shall make our way home again and
cali it one each.

The three year old race was for trotters
or PAGERS and there was one contestant
in each class Emma Westland was the
trotter and Emma, it is hardly necessary
to say, came here. fresh from her successes
at the State fair, but as she was pitted
against Marion, a daughter of Dictator
Chief, it was a race where had there been
any betting nobody would have cared to
have given Odds The first heat was a
slow one and funny one for Marion
broke seven times during the heat and
then finished first 1t came about in this
way. Woodbury. who was up behind
Emma. had the race well in hand, head
ing by about length as they swung into
the turn. Then, however, Marion settled
down to business and made a rush for
the first place, capturing it by head.
The judges gave the heat to Emma West
land because of Marion's repeated beaks.
The second heat was pretty one. To
be sure Marion made one little skip at
the start, but after that she settled down
to business and paced good mile. AT
the second turn she eollared Emma and
the two went under the wire almost neck
and neck, the Deering mare having a
trife the best of it, Then Woodbury. let
her out and lead through the second half.
Marion's driver not being able to put
them on even terms again. The third
heat differed from the second only in the
amount of the lead Of Emma Westland.

s"Aeot his wound Cahho' ho
mined. -.~..+.
A serious accident occurred at Allen s
Corner, Deering, last night, as a result OF
careless handling of firearms.
William e. Leighton, son OF George
W. Leighton of Stevens Plains, called at
the home of Mrs. S. S. Knight, and during
the evening Herbert Knight a fifteen
yearold boy brought out shot gun,
While handling it he dropped 1t to the
floor and it exploded, the charge striking
young Leighton, inficting serious
wound. DR.. Lewis K. Austin was called
and also Dr. Parker, who advised remov-
ing the patient to the Maine General
hospital The young man had received
the charge just above his hip, passing
trough his back and lodging in the
muscles on the other side of his body.
He was brought to the hospital and made
as comfortable as possible, and the shot
extracted. In spite of the terrible wound
he was conscious, and his courage was
good. The doctors in attendance enter
tain hope of his recovery, but could
scarcely tell what the outcome would be.
Leighton graduated from Bowdoi in
this year, and was to enter the Harvard
Medical school this fall. He is popular
young man and the accident will be deep
ly regretted by his many acquaintences.
1t was the opinion of the physicians at
the hospital that the shot had not injured
the spine as there was no sign OF
paralysis.
Shortly before four O'Clock this morn
ing, he was reported resting quietly with
the chan ces favorable for his recovery.

SILVER MEN SURPRISED.
Farmers Congress Voted Down a l6
to / Resolution.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 15.-Soon after
the Farmers National Congress, which
met here last week and has been hold
ing daily sessions since, resumed its
sitting this morning, a sensation was
sprung in the form of a fight on free
silver, which resulted in a complete
defeat of the IS to 1 forces. By vote

| refused to insert the words sat a ratio
not to exceed 16 to 1" in a resolution
asking Congress to use both gold and
silver on a parity, and calling for an
international conference on the mon
etary question.
The resolution was one which had
Just come from the Committee on
Resolutions, and was reported favor
ably. 1t was offered by J. G. Offut, a
| delegate from Indiana. In substance,
it deprecated the present condition
of finances in the country and called
| upon the President to call a confer
ence of all nations willing to unite in
the equal use of both gold and silver.
Then the free silver delegates wanted
the paragraph changed SO as to read
"willing to unite in the equal use OF
both gold and silver at a ratio not to
exceed 16 to l."
Numbers of delegates jumped to
their feet, and it was oon evident that
the Congress was opposed to the
amendment. The question was first
put, viva voce, and tho nays had it,
evidently. A vote by States was call
ed for and resulted in the rejection oil
the amendment by a vote of 251 9-14
to 1914 5-14. Georgia. delegation wat
divided. The States known as the
Silver States favored the amendment,
and the East, the North and the
South voted almost solidIy against it,
The fight was made squarely on it,
merits of the question, and the issue
was in no way clouded with parlia-
mentary t~echnicalities. Those dele
gates who favored the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at 16 to
voted for the amendment, and it was
lost by a majority of 147.
The victory of the ''sound money
element in the Congress was en-
phasized later nthe day, when a res
6lution declaring opposition to the
further issue of interest bearing
Treasury bonds or notes, under any
| circumstance, was lost.
A resolution ~favoring Congressional
enactment against the Beef Trust was
adopted.

Miss Stella Wright, daughter of Mrs.
Anna d. Wright. The ceremony was
performed at the Methodist Church.
South, the interior of which had been

with palms, ferns and potted plants.
The chaneei was a solid mass of fol-
iage, and over the place where he

golden wedding bells. The large

ionable congregation.
At exactly half an hour before high

the center aisle, headed by the four
ushers, Messrs. George Pearson, Frank
Spence, Rozier Hail and Ned Rodes,
after whom walked the Rev. j. Fl.

groom. The bride looked charming
in a travelling suit of dark green
jacquard, with trimmings of velvet
and Duchess lace and nat to match
and carried a bunch of "Bride" roses,
while the groom wore the conventional
black. Having arrived at the chancel,
the beautiful wedding ceremony was
performed which "bouud two hearts
as one" and to the inspiring measures
of Mendelssohn's wedding march,
played by Miss Maud Wallace, tho

and Mrs. Smith preceding this time.
The bride and groom left on the 1917
Wabash for Moberly, where they were
given a wedding luncheon by friends,
whence they went to st. Louis,
where they win spend a few days:
The high contracting parties are
both well known in this city, Mr..
Smith being enc of Mexico's most en-
terprising young business men, while
the bride stands high in the social
and religious circles of the city and
is a young lady of most enviable at
tainments. The presents received by
the couple were many and elegant,
and included beautiful pieces of fur
niture and china, besides other gifts
too numerous to mention.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith will board at

ness and prosperity.
