NEW ORLEANS, LA, September T.
The States and the people Of this city
congratulate the Southern Associated
Press and the United Press on their most
unqualified and successful scoop OF the
Associated or Western concern, in the
telegraph reports Of the great interna-
ti0nal event.
The two morning dallles in this city
receiving the Chicago or Western con-
Germs reports were throughout to-day
active in posting upon the fronts OF their
respective buildings bulletins Of the race
before a very excited and large crowd
Of enthusiastic citizens and from the
first TO almost the finish announced the
British boat 10 be from half mile to a
mile in the lead. and not until the issu-
ance of the o'clock edition OF the states
did they awake to the fact and realize
that the great American yacht Defender
was the victor, and that the cup would
still probably remain In America.
The States, as well as the Cotton EX-
change and the pOol-rooms OF this city,
gave hourly the true status OF the race,
as gathered and sent out TO the world
By the United Press.
This evening. the Times-Democrat, re-
ceiving the service OF the Western con-
Germ. makes an apology for the mistake
made by that press association, saying
that instead Of the Brtisher. the Amer!-
can was always in the lead.
