CLOSE RACE OF HALF-RATERS
The Ethelwynn Did Better Than satur-
day.
Wind blowing Five Miles an Hour al
the Start-A Rum to Leeward
and q Beat Back.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., September 8.-The
Indications Of the early morning for the
International half-rater race were much
the same es were those of Saturday. and
the yachtsmen who waited over for the
purpose of seeing the first race of the
match looked worried. The waters Of the
bay were unruffled and the leaves Of the
trees On land were motionless There were
few optimists in the Sewanhaka-Co-
rinthian Club house who said that a
breeze would come with the change In
tide. The yachts and crews were ready to
race, and all hands were praying for
wind to come along before the starting
hour.
Before 10 o'clock the hopes of the anxious
were raised by the appearance Of ripple
coming over the sound from the north
west and the prospect of a race doomed up
into quite respectable proportions.
The course will be the same, three miles
out and back and repeat making total OF
twelve miles.
The preliminary signal was given at 1890.
the preparatory signal at 1240 and the
starting signal at 12:45. Ethelwynn got
over tn. line first and started away on the
run before the wind. Spruce ~ followed,
eight seconds later. Both set spinnakers
Immediately.
The English boat succeeded in blanketing
the Yankee, and at :05 she had run by the
Ethelwynn. The course was northeast by
east and the wind was blowing five miles
an hour.
The run out was a remarkably close and
interesting lace, as seen from the Seawan-
haka club house on Centre Island. The
Ethelwynn overhauled her opponent and
the yachts stood on almost even terms for
a long time, This was more noteworthy
because Spruce did such fast work off the
wind on SatuI day.
Who rounded the outer mark first could
not be seen perfectly from the observatory
OH the club house. but 1t looked like Spruce
first, with small difference between the con-
testants. After rounding they stood in on
the starboard tack for the Long Island
shore. and Ethelwynn appeared to gain
on the first tack for home.
Ethelwynn Well Ahead.
Coming out from behind Lloyds Neck
the port tack.
Ethelwynn stood out further from shore
than her antagonist and came about first
at 2:15. Spruce followed suit, and when
both headed back for Lloyds Neck Ethel
wynn was we'll ahead.
Ethelwynn came about again at 2:2O
and stood off shore. Spruce made long
board in under Lloyds Neck.
When she came about and headed of
shore Spruce was unable to cross Ethel
wynn's bow. On the contrary she passed
stern. This was at 2:23.
Ethelwynn displayed excellent windward
work. and continued to gain on the En-
glish boat.
At 2:3s Ethelwynn led, it was estimated.
by three-eighths OF mile. They were
then both on the port tack. and would
pl c bably make the first round in three
mere tacks.

In e report to the Department of State
Consul Hammond states that the Turkish
government has farmed out for a large
sum Of money the monopoly of the tobacco
trade in Turkey to an English company.
The body of Mr.. Hammond's report is de-
voted to the tobacco industry Of Hun
gary, where the government takes entire
control of the business Of tobacco growing.
Mr.. Hammond says that while there was
an increase in the production amounting
to about so Per cent from 1883 to 1898. the
increase has not continued for the past
two years, showing that the production
has probably reached a eliminating point
Remarking upon the system, Mr.. Ham

cannot for his own use raise an ounce of
tobacco but that 1t must be turned over

Post Women at Aix-la-Chapelle.

Upon the continent there are far
more openings for women seeking emr
ployment than there are in this coun-
try. On most Of the railways women
wearing uniform hats are seen every
10y and then at little stations, waving
q flag to signify that all goes well or
to confirm the signals showing that
there is danger on the line. At Aix-la-
Chapelle, ur, as the Germans themselves
prefer to call it, Aachen, an entirely
new departure has now been made.
Women postmen have been appointed in
