pletion OF the railroad to this point
will bring hithera large influx Of
people who might otherwise have
visited the Salt River valley a
thousand times and not have seen
Mesa. All who come here are de-
lighted with this section and it is
safe to say that the brief visits Of
these people will at some time
within twelve months result in
adding numbers to our population.
There Is plenty of land here to give
homes to hundreds of families and
it goes without saying among all
who visit here that there is no bet
ter soil on the coast. With all the.
natural advantages which Mesa
possesses, her future should be de-
cidedly loseate, and with proper
manifestation of public spirit on
the part of our citizens the future
Of our town and section ia more
than assured.

Immediately after the finish OF the race
the fleet headed back 10 the city, and all

OF the days race sung praises Of the great

After crossing the line the Defender took
lime from her tug and was towed into
the Horseshoe. She was saluted on the
WAY by al the steamers that passed near
her, and steam yachts went out OF their
way to fire a gun at her.
The Valkyrie started for the Hook under
sail. A fine rain which set in just before
the finish was followed lay mist which hid
the yacht from view. AT : O'Clock she
had not reached the Horseshoe, and her
tender, the City Of Bridgeport, went out,
and after considerable trouble found her
and t0wed her in.

nautical ones. They were comfortable on

On the steamers TO which the everyday
public were admitted, provided they had
the fee, there were yachting sharps galore.
They were the centers Of groups Of anx-
ious land d-lubbers who wanted to know
what all the queer nautical names meant
and wanted to know most of all who
was going to win. Those of sporting pro-
clivities got tips from the yacht sharps
and then made bets with others who had

BEFORE THE START.
Patrol Boats Kept Busy Protecting
the Racers.

Sandy Hook. sept The Defender VIZ
the first TO make san this morning. Her
mainsail was sent up at $50, and at
o'clock she started in tow OF the Wallace
B Flint for the lightship, Her Jib and stay
sail were up in stops.
The ValkyTie sent up her mainsail at
9 O5. and started out in tow OF the tug
Pulver at $40, pcakng mainsail as she
rounded tie point Of sandy Hook. At $50
both yachts shook out their jibs outside OF
the Hook, but continued in tow out toward
the starting line.
The patrol division gathered at their rem
devious al the Sandy Hook hghtship at 10
O'Clock and formed around the starting
line. intending 10 stop all craft half mile
off from the racers.
The patrols found they had undertaken
a hurculean task. They kept under steam
continuously, rushing hither and thither,
giving orders here and there. Now and
then a craft would stick her nose inside
the dead line as it were, and instantly
q patrol would bc after her TO warn her off
the course.
The captains OF the different boats
generally showed an evident disposition
Z
occasionally q boat would unconsciously
wander beyound The patrols, looking for
position OF vantage. There were many
close shaves from collisions, and many
hard words were passed between the men
at the different wheels.
When The big boats came To anchorabout
the starting line. they tossed and rolled
with Their heavy load Of human freight
like so many oorks The landlubbcrs
soon began 10 lose interest, not alone in
the great International yacht race, but in
all things worldly.
The starting point was then shifted from
the Sandy Hook lightship.
Knowing captains of steam yachts and
excursion boats caught the signal and fol-
lowed the Defender, which stood off to-
wards the jersey shore in a southwesterly
direction, but the majority for some time
continued to lay near helightship, in blissful
Ignorance Of the change.
Finally they took up the tran, as Val
kyrie was seen following in the direction
OF Defender. When the change Of start was
made the wind was from a northeast
erly direction, and the change was evi-
dently made to get fiftccn-mile course
to windward toward Long Island.
Since then the wind has hauled about
to the eastward. and at II O'Clock is very
light from east to south half south.
The Judges boat shortly before noon dis
played the signal letters I'D. C. G., indicat-
ing that the course would be east by south.
The course Will give the yachts beat Of
fifteen miles straight out 10 sea. The wind
is six knots and is a little south OF east.
