RACE BULLETINS.
Valkyrie Withdraws and the De-
fender Sails the Race Alone.

New YORK, September 12.-Both
yachts started in the race at IL 30.
AT 1852 the Valkyrie luffed up
and has given up the race, return
ing to her anchorage under tow.
The English yacht and steamers
cheered her as she passed on her
way toward the channel. The
trouble seems to have been that
the Valkyrie was blanketed by
pilot boat No. 10 right on her line.
The Defender is nearly six miles
away. The Valkyrie is now in
tow of her tug and it is understood
she has signalled that she surren-
ders the race.

of steam whistles, it is believed
that the Defender turned the stake

is not over s knots on shore here
and is still growing lighter.

er is about one mile from finish ;

DuU 10 Uf1OSe Oh Une l1leUlDeTS WHO
had seen Mr.. Iselin earlier in the
day he had given no intimation of
his proposition before the cup COM
mittee. There were probably other
details to be attended to, for his
proposition to Lord Dunraven was
not forwarded until So'clock in the
evening and after a visit to the
club. 1t was late at night before
the cup committee finished its ses-
sion and it's determination and that
of Mr.. Iselin TO Lord Dunraven
were made known. The announce
ment gives general satisfaction
and Mr.. Iselin was commended on
all sides. That was the spirit de-
clared by the yachtsmen and there
was strong denunciation of the
crowding of excursion boats.
After the meeting of the cup
committee, Mr.. j. Frederic Tams,
speaking officially said: The COM
mittee have decided that if the
overcrowding that has marked the
previous races occurred again
there will be no contest. The start
will not be made, no matter what
the day until the excursion boats
are a half mile distant on all sides
from the contestants. The acct
dent to the Defender would never
have happened had the rule been
observed.
"Whether there will be a race
or not depends on the action of the
captains of the pleasure boats. The
committee have come to their de-
cision after mature elaboration
and if at any time during the con-
test there is any crowding such as
Lord Dunraven cites, whether to
either Valkyrie or Defender, the
race may be declared off and sailed
at some time and place known
only to the interested persons.
''The position demanded must
be taken at once or there will be no
race, as / have said. think l can
speak for the regatta committee
when 1 say that the judges boat
will remain long enough to give
time for a start which will be made
under the conditions that OBJ
tanned on Tuesday last"
Mr.. j. s. Smith of the cup COM
mittee, speaking unofficially said !:
'"The regatta committee have sus-
tanned the protest of the Defender
against the Valkyrie and conse-
quently the race of the tenth
is given to the Defender under
the rules. After the decision was
rendered the Americas cup COM
mittee were called upon by Mr.. G.
Oliver Iselin to say if they had no
objections he would propose to
Lord Dunraven TO sail over the
race of September 10, to which
they would offer no objection.
"Whatever else may be said it
was chivalrous and sportsmanlike
for him to make this proposition.
Up to this hour no reply has been
received from Lord Dunraven by
the committee. This proposition
must receive the commentator Of
all Americans and Britons."
Lord Dunraven with several
young ladies was the guest of H.
Maitland Kersey last night. The
party dined at the Waldorf. A
communication was sent to the
Earl by reporter asking whether
he would accept or decline Mr..
Iselin's offer to resail the Tues
days race. Lord Dunraven de-
clined to answer the question.
Lord Dunraven with his daughters,
left the Waldorf early in the even
ing and it was said that his lord
ship started Immediately to go
aboard the City of Bridgeport
which lay at the Horseshoe.

Ben Kiolbassa's Pet.

Mr.. Ben Kiolbassa has received
a queer specimen of zoology from
Mr.. John Kulesha, who brought it
with him from Tamaulipas, MeXi-
co, on his recent visit to that coun-
try.
1t is a small animal with head
like a badger, body, feet and habits
like raccoon and a tail like rae
coon or squirrel. 1t is the MeXi-
can raccoon or mapach, but is
properly the west African river
shrew, genus SoreX and allied to
the family Sorecidae, and feeds on
insects or mollusks. 1t is about the
size of Texas gopher.

STARING IT IN THE FACE.

nent Democrats to enjoy a dinner and
hear, among other speakers, Senator d.
3. Hill. He spoke principally upon
finances and said:
The country is now confronted with
a steady growing deficit n the treasury

fiscal legislation to produce the neceS-
Sary revenues for the needs Of the gov
eminent. Ii is hoped this difficulty Will

credit of the government to be main

spectacle must no longer be presented
of a Democratic administration appeal
ing to a Democratic congress for neces-
sary Legislation to secure funds to carry
on the government during a temporary
mergency and that appeal in vain.
NO hostility to the present admins
tration, no political grievances and no
factional differences should be permit
ted to retard immediate legislation so
INDISPENSABLE at this time for the main

OLD TIME BILLIARDS
Have Been Raging, Bringing Discomfort
Disease and Death.


Did you catch cold during the last
cold spell? Did it leave you with a
cough, or tickling, Or soreness in the
throat, or a slight discharge from nose
or ear, or ringing in the head? If any
one of these things are true you are in
the first stage of chronic catarrh. Pc
ru-na will cure you now in a very short
time. If you wait until the catarrh be-
comes chronic it will take much long
er to get permanent cure. Besides
no one is safe a moment while chronic
catarrh is in the system. 1t is capa-
bic Of producing a multitude of dis
eases, such as bronchitis, pneumonia,
dyspepsia, quinsy, Bright'S disease,
and many forms of female weakness.
This fact should lead every one who
has the slightest cold or cough to be-
gin at once the proper treatment. Pc
TUNA is the remedy for all this class
of diseases used by DR.. Hartman, one
Of the most renowned physicians OF the
country. People go thousands of miles
to see DR.. Hartman for catarrhal and
all sorts of throat and lung diseases,
and he invariably prescribes Pe-ru-na.
1t is the use of this remedy that has
made him so famous. A great many
other physicians besides DR.. Hartman
also use Pe-ru-na in their practice, but
no one so extensively as he has. Pc
ru-na has become so we'll known
through the doctors immense prac-
tice that it is kept in all the drug stores.
Medical Book Free.
A treatise on catarrhal diseases,
chougs, colds, la grippe, consumption,
etc, will be sent free to any address by
the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
company, Columbus, Ohio.
Free Home Treatment.
DR.. Hartman has agreed to advise
free OF charge 10000 cases of chronic
catarrh this winter. Send your, name,
age, sex and symptoms, and
for the first months treat
ment will be sent free. Medicines can
be obtained at nearest drug store.
This treatment not only cures. but
cures permanently.
