LAST OF THE EClIPSES
Lima WIN he shsdo~ed Again This
Evening.


The last Of the quartet OF eclipses
in the year 1896. following closely on
the heels Of the total eclipse OF the
sun Aug. ., will occur tonight. None
of the others-two solar aud one
lunar-werc visible in North Amer
ics. but this lunar eclipse will be
visible in all its phases from Maine
10 California.
The various phases, which take
place at practically the same instsn.
wherever seen. given 10 central
standard Goth meridiap) time. are as
follows:
Time b'ginniug. tonight. llh,
2i.5m p. m.
Time of middle Of eclipse. sunday.
oh. 51.5m a. m.
Time Of ending. Sunday. 2h.
SO.im n. M.
The magnitude OF the eclipse and
its duration depend on the size OF
the earth's shadow cone at the place
where the moon enters il. the dis
tanee OF the moon from this axis as
IL passes through. and the distance
OF the moon from the earth.
Technically speaking. the moon
enters the ''penumbra"-the region
where IL is shaded by the earth from
apart OF the suns rays-over an
hour before the time given above.
but hardly any elimination in
brightness will be seen until ll:25
p. m. This will gradually in.
crease and move across the fs.e O,
the moon toward the west. and a,
1887 a. m. the middle Of the eclipse
will DO reached.

YACHTING EVENT.
The International Race Over the

vENCEDoR AND CANADA TO MEET
One . Center Boarder and the Other .
Keel Boat. Thus Giving Another Contest
Between the Two BuiIds-The Vencedor

Patchen Shows Himself tie King of
Stallion PAGERS.

| TOLEDO, Aug. 2a.-Strangers are already
arriving in the city to attend the interna-
! tional yacht race between the Vepcedor
and the Canada on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday next. Aside from its interest
as sporting event yachtsmen see in it a
renewal OF the old contest between the
| keel and center -board-the Canada being
n cutter of the latest type. and the Vence-
dor a Swimming dish" with fin. Hun
dreds visited both boats when docked and
the wise ones believe the weather will de
| eide the contest. 4 strong wind will
favor the Canada: light winds the Vcnce-
dor. Besides this the belief is current
that the Cana1Ss crew is composed of
better s1ilors than that of her rival. Tho
owners Of the respective boats have agreed
to divide the 81 800 in gold offered by tho
Toledo international Yachting associa-
ton. Like true sportsmen, they do not
like to race for gain. Each will do his
best to win the silver cup, but the cash
will be dividc6-60 per cent. to the winner
10 per cent. to the loser. The cup is on ex-
hibition in n store window and attracts
crowds of admirers.
Il on tIe Lakes.
This international race is doubtless tho
most pr-tcntiouS regatta ever scheduled
for the inland lakes. 1t marks the begin.
ming of an cr. in yachting which promises
to put the sport on the lakes on an equal
footing with sailing on the coast. Until
the EcncedUr and the Canada We're built
to sail an international race the yachts
men around the lakes have been content,
Tor the most part, to race in club regattaS
with good cruisers. Now. however al! Of
the great yachting associations promise to
have some racers in their fleet 1t needed
such Il contest between two modern built
yachts to bring about this feeling.
Yachts Are the Best of Their Glass.
No yacht races in this country have at
tractcd the attention given the coming
ones except the international salt water
contests for the Americas cup Now that
an international race on the lakes has
hacoinc a fixture its Importance will be
felt in every port that boasts II yacht club
People have been slow to recognize tho
quality OF the two boats that are to con.
test for the trophies off Toledo. They
have generally been regarded as good
boats, but the fact that they are probably
the best of their class ever built has not
been accepted without allowance. 1t Is
the fact. however. that these boats will
represent in u large degree the yachting
brains of Scotland and America backed
By plentiful supply of money.

the stallion Glass.
RIGBY PARK, Me-, Aug. 2.-The famous
pacing stallion, Joe Patchen, has lowered
the worlds stallion pacing record by one
quarter of second, going the mile in 2:03
fiat, on the Rigby track. Two of the judges
watches showed the time to be one-tifth Of
a second less than 2:O3. 1t was not a very
favorable day for going against records, as
strong westerly wind was blowing when
racing began. When the wind died down
n little Jack Curry drove Joe Patchen for
trial. After n mile of warming up the
black stallion was started down the track
at n lively gait with a runner known as
Little Friend, driven by Charles o. Brien.
A strong head wind was blowing. The
judges caught the quarter at 0:30If. and
with the wind at his back the famous
stallion reeled eff the second quarter in
O:291E The half was made in just one
minute. On the third quarter the time
was n:3Oll and at two-minutc clip, Joe
Patchen gathered himself for the last
quarter. But here he met the strong wind
again, against which he slowed down a bit,
but made it i'll 0:3.3..
The announcement Of the mile in 2:O3
hat, one-quartcr of second better than
the worlds stallion pacing record held by
John II. Gentry, set the crowd wild. They
lifted Curry, the driver, out of his sulky,
swarmed from the grand stand on to tho
track and cheered like mai men joe
Patchen on "Wednesday went an exhibit

DESIGNERS OF THE TWO BOATS.
Pupil of the HerrsschoT Made the Lines
of the Chicago Craft.

designer. had every reason to create u
yacht Of the first class. He had some rep
utation as chief draughtsman for the
Hcrrsschoffs and designer of a number of
fast yachts they had turned out. But this
reputation was shared with his employers
In his new position he could create a racer
which should he all his own iiea He
drew much of his inspiration from the
lines of the Defender and Niagara Add
ing some invention of his own he had the
theory of a craft which he fondly hoped
would sail away from anything of its class

The Canada is a Scotch boat built cx.
presSly FOR this race by Fife She was got
out on the other side and shipped in parts
to Oakvillc. Canada. where she was put
together. Her racing length is about forty
two feet. The Zclma WAS built by Fife to
beat anything in her class on the lakes
When the Canadians accepted the chal-
lcnCc for an international yacht race they
ordered boat 10 beat Xelnla. but so highly
was this boat thought of that they re-
served the right to race her in case they
wished 10 do so. The conditions of the
race gave them until a week before the
race to name the boat. When their new
boat the Canada beat the Lclma they were
thoroughly satisfied.
The two-thc NencedOr and the Canada
have both been seen racing or the lakes
during the post two weeks and the feeling
among yachtsmen is that the Vcncedor
will win the cup. The course over which
the rae will be sailed is known as the
Turtle Light course. The starting point
, is few miles from Turtle Light, where
the boats can have twenty-four feet of
water. On the first day a triangular course
of twelve knots will be sailed twice around
One Of the legs will be due to wind
ward The course for the second day will
he the same length. but il will be straight
away to leeward or to windward and re-
turI. the choice being given To the winner
necessary to sail a third race one of these
two courses will be selected the choice to
depend upon the toss of a coin.
The crews Of each boat are amateurs.

Walkin and Watergate. Some pecul-
