STORY OF THE RACE.
Wonderful Sprint by the Crippled De-

NEW YORK Sept 10. = The committee
boat, Walter A. Luckenbach, was on the
ground in good season and promptly hung
up the signal which told the racers that
the course would be over a triangle of ten
miles to the angle. the first leg being to
the windward, south, the second northeast
by east and the third northwest by west
half west. AS the committee boat made
known the directions of those In charge,
the wind dropped to speed of about five
miles an hour from force of something
like eight miles. There was no kind of
sea on nor swell. The surface of the ocean
was much more favorable to the valkyrie.
1t was noticeable that the sails of the
yachts set equally as well as they did on
Saturday. This was especially the case with
the Defenders white plug topsail.
The preparatory gun was fired from the
committee boat sharply on the appointed
time of 1850. Both yachts had baby lib
topsails set when, after some clever man.

and the screams of the negroes brought
Graves and Beatty and a number of white

the masked men fed. Examination showed
that Henry Johnson and Samuel Evans,
negroes, had been killed, and that dozen
had been wounded, some of whom will die.

BIRDS LIKE TO TRAVEL.
The Reason They Annually Leave North

The Reason They Annually Leave North
ern Chimes and Fly South.
Why do the birds fit southwark each
autumn and return again with every
spring? No one knows, but science, In
the person of Professor Wang, the emil
nent Austrian ornithologist, has just dis
closed that the usual f1ippant answer to
this question, Because they like to
travel, is not far out of the way, after
all
In lecture that Professor Wang re-
Gently delivered at Vienna he gave some
extremely interesting details regarding
the migrations Of birds, all of which
migrations resemble one another in two
respects; They follow the most direct
line southwark, and are made with al
most incredible rapidity. Numerous OBJ
servations have been made at Helgo-
land, which is the principal hating
place of birds of passage from northern
countries, and Of Egypt, which is the
winter home of many, and these obser-
vations have established some facts hith-
erto unknown. The bluebirds traverse
the 400 nautical miles which separate
Egypt from Helgoland in single night,
which is at the rate of more than 40
geographical miles per hour. The swal-
lows speed is over az miles per min
ute, or nearly three times that of the
fastest railway train. Even the younger
birds, or weeks old, accompany the
others in their journey.
Professor Wang asks himself what is
the impulse which causes the birds, aft
er the brooding and melting season is
over, to quit our nothern climate. He
does not think it is fear of cold-for
many species quite as delicate as those
which migrate southwark easily with
stand the rigors of the winter-but that
they have an irresistible humor for
travelling. This is his idea of the fact,
but he can give no explanation.

BROOM HANDLES.

Interesting Information About an Indus
try of Considerable Magnitude.
There is but small amount of wood
in broom, but SO many millions of
these implements are used every year
that the consumption Of wood for broom
handles is considerable item While it
would have been almost impossible to
sell broom handle made of heavy hard
wood few years ago, at present the re-
verse is true.
The manufacturer prefers hard wood
because it does not require SO large q
bolt, can be turned down smaller and
yet retain sufficient strength and can be
ornamented more cheaply and artistical-
ly. Broom swith hard wood handles sell
more readily and do not deteriorate in
appearance like the soft wood handles.
Any kind of inexpensive hard wood.
such as beech, birch, maple or ash,
makes acceptable handles, while springy
woods like elms are not salable, be-
cause one essential of good broom is a
straight handle.
The manufacture of broom handles
can only be made profitable when the
timber runs largely clear. In the eastern
states the timber waste in making broom
handles exceeds 90 per cent, while in
the southwest it is usually less than 30
per cent. There are four factories in
Amsterdam, N Y, one of which has a
capacity of 1 400 finished brooms day.
They use hard wood handles from the
south and west and get them for less
than the bolts ready for the lathe can be
furnished from native hardwood.
The handles are turned green and
dried afterward. The large end ON which
the brush is wired must be thoroughly
dry, or the broom will work loose The
drying Of the upper part of the handle is
of less consequence, except in the saving
of freight. Southern Lumberman.
