IselIn's Yacht Didn't DO Her Best.
NEW YORK, Aug 21.-The first formal
trial race betwoon the Defender and tho
Vigilant to give the Americas cup COM
mittce an opportunity to decide which
boat should be named to defend the cup
was hold outside of Sandy Hook in the
same waters that the cup race viii take
place in but ended very unsatisfactory,
for the Defender withdrew, and the race
was given 10 the Nigilant
The boats raced not only TO give tho
committee q line on thcm, but also for a
5000 cup that John Jacob Astor offered to
the winner Of the majority Of the races
that the committee should order. That
is to say, that the winner Of two of tho
three trial races-and three have now
been decided upon-will get the cup.
The winner of the cup, however, will
not necessarily be the defender Of the
Americas cup. Ono boat might beat tho
other three times straight, and yet tho
Americas cup committee will have abso-
Lutte power and discretion in picking the
defender. The committee might decide
from their observations during the cruise
Of the Now York Yacht club to the east
ward and ignore these trial races altOgeth-
er if they 50 choose to do. Anyhow, tho
committee must have been very much dis
satisfied with the race yesterday.
II is generally believed among tho
yachtsmon that tho committee ordered
these trial races in the hopo that they
would SEQ Defender in good stiff breeze,
II not hard wind, condition of things
in which she had not yet had the oppor-
tunity of displaying her power.
The stin Breeze Was Responsible.
They came very near having the desired
Wow, but they were fortstallod by an ac-
oidont that prevented Defender from real
ly showing what she could do in a breezo
OF wind that went over the water proba-
bly, at the rate of 20 knots an hour In
fact, it was the very stiffness Of the breeze
that brought dire injury to the fin keeled
boat. The breeze stirred mp her rigging
so much and played such havoc among it
that it loosened it to q material extent up
toward the masthead and caused such
damage that the now boat had to with
draw or take liberal chance at carrying
away her topmast. 1t was afterward found
out that the slaokening up of the rigging
was so extensive that the yacht would not
be able to compete in the second trial race
for week. The committee having learn
ed this fact, decided at the New York
Yacht clubhouse that the next two trial
races would take place on Tuesday and
Wednesday Of next week
AS usual the Defender went about al
most as soon as she had crossed the line.
She stood away on the port tack, while
the Viglant continued on a long board.
The Defender, which had not attempted
to raise any sail ON her outer iibstay
stood on port tack for a couple of minutes
and then went about to overhaul Vigilant.
For some time it looked as though Vigil
liant would not be overhauled. 1t seemed
as though she was actually outfloating tho

It was plainly true that Defender did
not get i'm her finest work during the first
six or seven minutes of that tack, but
when she did really settle down to busi-
ness she went up to the Viglant's wind
ward beam and nailed her emphatically.
When they both stood back for the Jersey
shore, the Defender was fully half mile
in the lead Both yachts made the outer
mark on this tack, the Defender ginning
right along, as she had done from the
start, and rounding the mark at hour 3
minutes and i 8 seconds.
Then came the run before the wind
home For nearly half the distance the
Vigilant's spinnakor and the balloon jib
topsail, which she had set in common
with the Defender, drew very badly while
the Defenders was fun all the time. After
half the distance had been covered how
over the wind fell trine to the south
ward, and Nigilant had the better of it.
1t was too late however.
Coming to a point within a mile Of the
finish line the Defender hauled down her
spinnakcr and balloon iib topsail, running
considerably to the westward I'm doing so.
Then she made reach for the home line
and got thoro at hours minutes and 30

Canning Fruit.

1T would seem that fruit canning
ought to prove a prof table industry
on Puget sound. The raw materials
are here, and. with the increase in the
sale of canned food products, Puget
sound fruit ought to find a market
when put up in that way. Those
fruits which were this year shipped in
a fresh state to Eastern cities met
with favorable reception and were
easily disposed of. The prospects are
that the shipment OF fresh fruit in
the future will increase very rapidly
as the fruit becomes better known and
It's quality is appreciated. If mar
ket away from home can be found for
fresh fruit it would seem that our can
ned fruits might be profitably shipped
to even more scattered and remote
points. Canned fruits are in demand
everywhere, those from some parts Of
the Pacific coast being eagerly sought
for. II the Puget sound apples, pears,
pluns, apricots, strawberries and
blackberries can be successfully put
up, it is difficult to see any reason
why they should not find market
when once their good quality has been
tested and their excellence becomes
generally known.-P.-I.

New Placer Machine.

G. II. Voll of this city has invented
devise for placer mining which he
thinks will materially aid the poor mi
ner. 1t is machine that is designed
to take the place of the pan in the
washing of gold from placer dirt and
can be operated by one person, although
two men would be preferable. The de-
vice is new idea and is intended to
extract the gold from the water and
gravel while the dirt is being forced
upward by a rotary motion.
The inventor alleges that the model
works like a charm. The machine con-
sists OF six copper drums, flange shaped
and circular in form, with the smaller
circumference firmly secured to cir
cular copper disc. These fange shaped
drums will be twelve inches high and
pitched at an angle of about 112 de-
grees from the center. The inner drum
will be about three feet; the second,
four and half feet; the third, four feet !;
the fourth, four and half feet; the
fifth, five feet, and the sixth, five and
Il half feet in circumference. On top
OF this continuance will fit a closed in
vert, with twelve inch drums extending
downward between those on the lower
field SO as to form a wall between each
OF the lower drums. The upper drum
or cap is adjustable, so that the guam
tity of sand, gravel and water to pass
through may be regulated. The ma
chine is fed in the center and rapid
rotary motion, impaired to the lower
drum by means of rope or belt and
large pully or fiy-wheel, causes the sand
and water containing the gold to be
forced up the incline of the lower drum
and against the drum of the invert
which is stationary. The water and
sand follows the invert and drops into
the next channel, only to be forced up
on the next drum and so on until it
escapes into the discharge sluice, which
is fitted with pockets for catching any
amalgram that might become detached
by stones and thrown yer the edge of
the drum.
All the drums are amalgamated,
both the lower and the invert and as a
grain of sand or gold will not rise more
than one inch in a single revolution,
1T will require twelve revolutions to
clear single drum. AS these are APP
proximately twenty-five feet of ANAL
gamated drums on the lower field, every
particle of gold would have to pass over
at least 800 feet of amalgamated plates
before it could escape. AS all gold can
be readily cleansed by allowing the
water to pass over rock lye, it is claim
ed that it is almost impossible for even
the finest flake to escape. One. ma
chime will keep two men busy shovel
ing and only enough water is required
TO carry off the dirt.-Seattle Times.

Stony Ground for Stony Fruit.

From private letter by Prof. ]. B.
Homer, who is now making a tour of
the state in the interests of the State
Agricultural college, the following is
taken:
Il have IN past years driven many
times along what at that time seemed
to be barren waste-a sort of para
disc for grasshoppers-iust north of
Oakland, Or. Now it is a prune
growers paradise. Last week Cap
tain e. W. Peters, the proprietor,
showed me 10 acres Of as fine prunes
growing on this rolling, rocky ground
as can be found anywhere. In the bed
OF an Old road, also along strips of
territory where holes were picked into
the rotten sandstone, there are two
year Old prune trees that GRIT nine
inches, and are now bearing the
three-year old trees girt from 10 to 13
inches, the Italian prunes bearing
about one and a half bushels this sea-
son. Dir. Peters is firm believer in
the theory, "Stony ground for stony
fruit" inasmuch as it has been his
experience that the prune trees on
high, rocky ground are healthier than
those where the soil is more loamy.
( Captain Peters has also reclaimed an
old orchard by pruning, and spraying
Tor Goblin moth and caterpillars with
paris green and lime, just at the time
when the bloom falls off, and then
again when the fruit is about the size
OF marble; whale oil soap, sulphur
and concentrated lie he uses to exter-
inmate the aphis. His chickens have
constant access to his orchards. The
captains testimony is that they save
more for him than they iniure." Pa

4. 2. A. Police Commission Sustained,

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1.-THE SUI
preme court this morning filed deci-
sion in the Omaha fire and police
commission case. The decision in
substance declares the act constitu-
tlonal under which the new board was
appointed. Upon the point raised by
the attorneys for the old board that
Governor Holcomb did not attend the
meeting with Churchill and Russell at
the time the new board was named.
the court holds that the interests of
the state or municipality are not to be
jeopardized by the action of one party.
In conclusion the court finds that
Broatch, Vanderyoort and Foster are
the lawfully constituted board of fire
and police commissioners of Omaha.

The Defenders T0pmast.

The yachting contest between the
Valkyrie and the Defender has been a
great disappointment to yachting en-
thusiasts, and, in fact, to everybody
The collision between the two yachts,
resulting in the injury to the Defen-
der's topmast, was followed by a chain
OF events that may put an end forever
to the annual international contest
for the Americas cup. The cloud,
however, has it's silver lining.
Among the dispatches from New
York about the accident, that have
been sent broadcast over the world.
appeared the following concerning the
injured spar: "The one damaged yes
terday was seen to have a great sec
ton split off at the point where the
the top sail strained it yesterday. This
was just clear of the top of the main
mast, and il showed how much had
been the strain, and how sturdy was
the stick to stand it so well. The
crack went part way through it, but
the toughness of the Washington pine
kept it from parting and even allowed
the use of the jib topsail on the third
leg of yesterdays race"
High words of praise these, and the
value of this testimonial can hardly
be estimated That it will place our
fir in high favor among shipbuilders is
certain, so that again it may be said,
at is an i'll wind that blows nobody
