strong from the south. They crossed the
line very nearly together, the Britannia
at 10:20:30 and the Aflsa at 1020:37, the
Britannia being to the leeward The
Britannia worked to windward and OBJ
tanned the weather berth of the Ailsa,
which she held at Skelmorlie, that mark
being rounded as follows ws:-Britannia
11N:55; Ailsa. 11:0850
From Skelmorlie it was dead heat
to Ascog. The wind was blowing strong
and the race at this point was close
and exciting.
The twenty-raters also started, the
Dakotah at 10:45:7, the Niagara at
1E0:45:15 and the Zinita at 10:45:53 The
Eueharis did not start. The Zinita fin
ished the first round about a minute
ahead CT the Niagara.
The Britannia rounded AscOg at n:45:O5
and the Ailsa at 11:4609 The boats were
now running free under lightened wind,
with spinnakers and jibtopsails set. The
Ailsa blanketed the Britannia astern, but
was not able to get past her. The Brit
ANNA continued to hold a lead of about
three clear lengths. The Britannia round
ed Kilcreggan at 12:52:20 and the Ailsa at
II 1896 It was now a dead beat for the
Commodore's boat, the Britannia hold
ing close to the Ailsas weather. The lat
ter gained trife on the way home and
the Commodore's boat was rounded as
follows:-Britannia. 1:12:21; Ailsa, 1:13:35.
The wind became stronger and a heavy
rain, accompanied by a thick haze, OBJ
seured the weather mark and finally
shut out the Britannia and the Ailsa
from view. AS the boats disappeared
they seemed to be about fifty-five sec
onds apart The heavy rain killed the
wind and the boats are becalmed. They
have now been invisible for a half hour
and there is no improvement in the
weather.
The Britannia rounded Skelmorlie at
2:1s:10 and the Ailsa at 2:20:45. Round
ing Ascog the Britannia was still fur
ther in the lead The rounding was
made at these Unconstitutional, 2:50:G;
Ailsa, 2:56:49. Both boats were be-
calmed for an hour after passing As
cog, when a light breeze sprang up and
they moved slowly up the channel, the
Britannia a long way in the lead.
The last part of the light was very
slow indeed Passing Cloch Light the
Britannia led by minutes and seconds
and shortly afterward the wind freshened
somewhat anu LIE OOilS iiAONSo @ 49,
tie faster. The Britannia got the best
of the wind and increased her lead
greatly, rounding KMcreggan light too far
in advance to be caught up with. The
times of rounding the Kilcreggan mark
were Britannia, 5:06:A. Ailsa, 5;29:lS.
The wind was still very light.
The twenty-raters finished the first
round in this order:-Zinita, 12:A:5S; Nj
agara, 12:25:4O Dakotah, 12:31:35. The Iii
nita had good lead over the Niagara
on the way to the weather mark on the
second round.
The Niagara gained the lead of the
twenty-raters on the beat to windward
on the second round and held it to the
finish, winning with ease.
The twenty-raters finished in this way:
Niagara. 2:26:S1; zinita, 2:27:4s; Dako-

DOINGS OF WAR SHIPS.

WASHINGTON, July II, 1S95-Secre-
tary Herbert received a cablegram last
night from Commander Davis, of the
cruiser Montgomery, which has been at
Colon since July 1, announcing that the
Nicaragua Canal Commission had COM
pleted it's examination of the Panama
Isthmus and that the ship would sail
in a few hours for home, via Key West.
Secretary Herbert thinks the Montgom-
cry will proceed to New York with the
commission, as he understands the Board
of Health at Key West will not allow the
party to land there, the quarantine
against Colon, which is considered an in
fected port, being very stringently en-
forced.
1t is possible that the commission may
be transferred to some merchant steam
er at Key West, but ynuch more prob
able that the Montgomery will continue
north with the members The ship has
been in tropical waters so long that it
is thought desirable to give her crew the
benefit of more invigorating latitudes
The coal tests in " hich the Montgomery
was engaged during the spring at Mo-
bile, can be continued during the au-
tumn and in the meantime the vessel

The Monitor Amphitrite went to sea
from Fort Monroe, Va, at ten o'clock
this morning to test the force of the
blast from her guns while firing. -Four
sheep were taken aboard which will be
used in the experiment.
The cruiser Marblehead, which has
been at Cronstadt, Russia, since the
Kiel celebration, arrived at Stockholm

Before the Grand Jury.

AS told exclusively in 1.-THE Jersey City
News yesterday, the Grand Jury had
before it the Mayors of Hobo
ken and Bayonne, the Police Commits
sioners in each municipality. in the
county and the Chiefs of Police and a
small host of captains.
The trouble which these officials had
got into was all caused by saloon keepers
selling liquor and beer on Sunday and the
Grand Jury wanted to know why the
officials had permitted the law in this
respect to be violated The first to testi-
fly was Mayor Pagan of FEobolSen.
The Grand Jury kept him on the stand
for half an hour. He was followed by
Police Commissioners Utz, Hayden and
Smith. Mayor Simon Kelly of Weehaw-
ken and host of others in turn were
called by the Grand Jury.
1t is said that when questioned all of
the officials said they had issued orders
to the police to keep saloons closed on
Sundays, and that if the law was gener-
ally violated they had no official infor-
nation of that fact
The Grand Jury did not complete the
investigation.

ATLANTIC CITY, July II, 1SS5.-t'ully
one hundred people were injured IN the
terrible disaster that brought the soclai
session rendered by the Atlantic CITY
lodge to visiting Elks at Baltic Avenue
Casino to disastrous conclusion soon
after its convening last night
The session was held on the seeohu
floor of the building, which has not peen
used for several years.
The master of ceremonies, Meade Bet
weller of Harrisburg had just introduced
Percy Williams of Brooklyn and the
speaker had ascended to the temporary
stage. when, without minutes warming
the building collapsed.
There were fully cne thousand people
in the hall, and the screams and heart-
rendine means filled the air as the M
mense throng were buried in the ruins
The electric lights went out suddenly,
and the scene was plunged in darkness.
Physicians were hurriedly sent for, and
the alarm of fire brought the cfty's force
of firemen to the rescue Every pollce
officer in the city was called to prevent
the crowd massing and breaking through
the board walk upon which the injured
were laid in rows as they were taken
out of the ruins. Many were pinioned
beneath heavy timbers, and their means
were pitiful.
The police patrol and scores of vehicles
were called into reouisition as ambulan-
ces. and the city hospital was soon filled
with the injured.
The meeting was on the second floor
of the pavilion. Without warning the
floor sank in the middle and the mass of
people were thrown down a funnel
shaped hole which was made by the
two sections of the upper floor falling in
the shape of a V, open at the apex. to
the lower floor, which fortunately stood
the shock.
Those sitting in the middle of the room
were at the bottom of the heap of hui
manly which filed the space. Cries Of
women and shouts of men added to the
confusion.
Men, women and children were jammed
together, trying to escape by the stair
way. while the victims of the crash were
screaming for aid to extricate them from
the fallen beams and tinbers.
When tthe first feeling of panic had
subsided, the surviving Elks gallantly
rushed to the rescue of the injured.
While the work was going On the lights
Oh the first floor became extinguished,
and plunged the place into darkness
Men ran to the car barn Of the trolley
road nearby, and obtained number of
headlights from the cars. These were
most useful in assisting the work of the
rescuers.
Of the fifty OF sixty persons who were
severely injured, all are reported this
morning to be doing fairly well. Those
seriously hurt are improving, excepting
Frederick Klaproth, the Camden musi-
c;an who was 50 fearfully crushed be-
tween the beams. He is still alive, but
in a critical condition.
