II is very pleasant to be apprecia-
ted, especially when ones efforts
arise above the plane Of the almighty
dollar. Our souvenir edition, so far
as we can learn was everywhere we'll
received. We hear nothing but praise
for it. 1t would seem that it proved
more satisfactory to our subscribers
than to ourselves. 1t was not near
so good as we desired. The condi-
tions.of country printing office are
not favorable for such work, besides
it was first effort. Printing half
tone cuts is the most difficult work
the ordinary printer meets with. And
in the first place good cut is indis-
pensable, and to get it is absolutely
necessary that you have good pho
tograph, the process being a direct
reproduction. In this case, having
no local photographer we were obliged
to take such as we could find, some
good and some poor. We are in
debted to Mr.. Richardson of Chester,
who some two years ago took some
Londonderry views, for some very
good ones and to Frank Tyler, an
amatuer, who took some specially
for US. We are also indebted to Rev.
Geo. II. Sisson, Dea. E F. Rugg,
A. A. Curtis aud W. L. Gibson for
their kindly interest and valuable
assistance. The following reaches
us from Boston dated the 18th:

tinction of reaching homo in advance of
tho American boat the hrst time in
quarter of a century.
Only one other boat finished closer to
the winner than did Defender today,
and that was Valkyrie III IN her race with
Vigilant in 1898, when
ONLY FORTY SECONDS
separated them. 1t had been the gen.
orally expressed wish that Lord Dun
raven would win one race uf the series,
and some kindly disposed people even
extended their good wishes to the hope
that he might get two, so that, as they
explained, he would bs influenced in
coming again for try for the cup. The
good wish has come to pass. unless the
cup committee entertains Defenders pro
test and declares against the English man,
and so good citizens on thsir way to theiI
respective homes after the contest today
congratulate themselves that Dunraven
and his gallant boat had gained what
they had hoped he would gain, winning
bracket and Defender had gained veri-
table victory.
Pointing their noses inward, the feet
moved quickly along, forming protect
ing line around the yachts as they were
towed to their boat houses at Bay Ridge.

been before at fault, consoled each other

1t cheered anxious hearts on the floating
city, for it is no exaggeraton to say that
ninety ety-nine-hundredths OF those atioat
were Defender men. The last leg was
run home with the wind abeam, and
there was rush of steamers in the direc-
tion of the lightship. a ten-knot breeze
lifted the top of chance wave and the
wash OF the steamers tumbled the little
craft about bit but far back tha two
single sticksrs. Defenders sails only
showing, were skimming over mill
pond, with their lee rails awash, and both
rapidly overhauling the fiotila. Just be-
fore reaching the line. when Valkyrie was
still to windward and Defender to lee
ward, length astern, but still overhaul
ing her, the American boat was blanketed
so much that her baby jib topssil shook
and Captain Haff seeing this luffed up
little, evidently intending to let the
other boat go ahead for the purpose of
enabling hm to pass under her stern and
] to windward. Captain Sycamore. at the
Valkyrie's tiller, noted this move and
'uffed up also. 1t was then that the thou
sands gof watchers on the surrounding
boats noticed now dangerously close TO

that moment, too, n snap and rending
sound was heard and it was seen that De-

To those who had witnessed the acci-

groan went up as though the bra-e boat.

The Husband and Father Discovers the Dead
Body of His Wife, Child and
Father-in-Law

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 10.-News has Just
been received that shocking triple mur-
der was committed near Oceanside, this
county, about IL o'clock this morning.
Only m eager details of the affair can be
r. Stiles of Fallbrook, his wife and
child and his wife's father, ]. D. Borden,
were encamped at what is known as the
mussel beds. on the ocean beach, about
two miles north OF Las Flores, the latter
place being some twelve miles from
Oceanside. Advlces are to the effect that
Stiles, on returning to camp after short
absence. found his wife, child and father
in-law dead. When the news reached
Oceanside word was sent to Justice of the
Peache Kutz at San Luis Rey, and the
latter went to Oceanside and empannelled
q Jury preparatory to going to the scene
of the tragedy to hold an inquest. He,
however. abandoned the purpose on re.
ceiving word from San Diego that the
train from this city. Constable Book
man sent men to Las Flores to take charge
of the bodies pending the inquest.
Nothing is known at Oceanside as to
how the murder was committed, only
the bare fact that the three victims were
dead and that they died from violence
having been reported there. The mussel
beds are favorite resort for Fallbrook
people, who often go there to camp out
and fish for week at a time. and it is sup
posed that the Stiles family is one of
these parties. Las Flores the nearest
village, is the merest hamlet, rot more
than a score of people living there. The
only news of the tragedy received by the
officials in San Diego is brief dispatch
to the district attorney, saying that two
persons had been murdered.
1t is impossible to obtain further par
ticulars tonight.

TO DUNRAVEN, THE THOROUGHBRED

with her progress. Still she went on her
journey, very much worsted by the col
lision, but still gaining. After crossing
the line she came around in about min
ute and q half before the accident, and
something to leeward, so far because of
Captain Haff's apprehension that her
upper starboard rigging would not hold
that a good many people said she was
out of the race; that she had given ur.
Others, who knew better. remarked that
the Defender people would be towards if
they dropped out before they got decIs-
ION from the committee in charge, and
it provsd that they were right.
But Defender was in for race, and
during the progress of the first few miles
sufficient repairs were made to enable
her to set baby iib topsail after round-
ing the first leg. In the beat 20 windward
the watches marked ValkyrIe 3 minutes
and 50 seconds IN advance of Defender.
The second leg was expected to try the
nerves Of those who had set their hearts
on victory for the cup defender, for
her little jib topsail looked like speck
compared WITH the great belyinG balloon
jib topsal set by Valkvrie, which was
drawing tremendously But this second
ten miles was veritable victory for the
Yankee. She gained slowly but steadily
and turned the second mark not far be-
hind her rival. she now having better
chance by long odds to win than few
miles back in the journey.
