with little better breeze and vencedor
showed a little gain.
So long as the wind lasted Vencedor
appeared to outfoot her black rival
but when the wind fell off, Canada
went faster. The wind on the second
leg of the course was south southwest,
which made the race close haul.
Nearly half way on the Canada found
it necessary to take in her balloon lib
and put out her jib topsail.
The wind as a whole on the second
leg was better than it was on the first.
Canada rounded the second turn at IA
and stood away ON the port tack, close
hauled for a beat to windward on the
third leg of the course. Ve11cedor took in
her balloon jib and put out her jib top
sail just before she rounded the stake
boat at 12:54:20, and stood away on the
port tack close hauled. Vencedor lost
about 8 minutes on the second leg. On
the last leg Of the first round the boats
sailed very evenly until they neared
the home turn. Then both went along
at something like a racinglEpeed, Vence-
dor being more than d mile behind.
Canada rounded at 2:06. The wind was
now blowing better than IL miles an
hour with a prospect of still better
breeze. Vencedor rounded at 2:14. She
had gained nearly a minute in the stiff
breeze on the last leg.
There was hours "a minutes in which
to finish within time limit of five and
a half hours. Canada sailed the first
round in hours and 6 minutes. Bet
ter sailing was therefore necessary to
make a race The wind blew steadily
about IL miles an hour and before Cana
da reached the stake boat, Vencedor
had made up about half mile on the
leg. Canada heeled over in the breeze
while Vencedor stood up stiff. Canada
turned the stake at 2:40 with her ball
Ii on jib out. Vencedor rounded at
2:49.
The wind now died down and Can
ada gained a little when she rounded
the next stake boat at $3.50. Vencedor
was about mile and a half away. The
wind had died away and unless it
freshened, there would probably be no
race Vencedor rounded at 3:44-four-
teen minutes behind the Canadian
boat close hauled on the pork tack,
having lost seven minutes on the spin
maker run.
The wind freshened little after
Vencedor rounded and 1T continued to
improve, greatly to athe advantage of
Vencedor. For a long time it was a
question which would cross the finish
line within the time limit but as the
breeze grew in force it became evident
that Canada would cross with small
margin of time. to spare. At 4:19 she
rounded the stake boat amid the
screaming of whistles. She had saved
the race with eleven minutes to spare.
When she neared the line there were
but two of her sailors in sight, but as
soon as she turned the sailors sprang
up out of the hold and ran to their sta
tions with the precision of clock work.
Vencedor rounded the final boat at
4:37, more than eighteen minutes be-
hind With the time allowance Ven
cedor was beaten more than twenty
three minutes.

20 Loss OF LIFE YET REPORTED,

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. 25-On-
tonagon, Mich, was destroyed by fire
this afternoon. Of the city of about
1000 population hardly a house is left
standing. Among the property de-
stroyed Is the extensive plant of the
Diamond Match company and 60,OO0,-
900 feet of lumber in it's yards. Con-
servative estimates place the loss at
81, 100000 No lives were lost at last
reports. Communication has been cut
off since p. M, and no further news
will be possible until morning
The fire had been burning in the
woods southwest Of the city for two
weeks. 1t was nearly out when a
southwest gale yesterday and today
swept In upon the town. At noon 1t
was seen that the city was doomed
A message was sent to Supt Minturn,
of the st, Paul road at Green Bay,
asking for a train to take the people
away The operator who sent the mes
sage was driven away from his instru-
ment by the burning of the building
A train was ordered there from Pori,
twenty-six miles south. The train
reached Ontonagon and took load of
people to Rockland, ten miles away
1t left again for Ontonagon for another
load, and since then nothing has been
heard from there.
At 5 o'clock the flames had swept
through the main part of the city, de-
stroying all the business houses, many
residences, the match company's mills,
the water works, electric light plant
court house, Jail, etc. The flames then
worked up the river to the rest of the
city. The operator who left the instru-
ment, which had been temporarily put
up, said nothing could save the city
from utter annihilation, that unless the
wind went down by dark every house
would be destroyed. The wind did not
subside. 1t is unlikely that the city
will be rebuilt
At midnight tonight the entire city
is practically In ashes, and two thou
sand people are homeless without
clothing or shelter. Of this number
1900 are in absolute want The fire
has swept away nearly every dwelling
house, all stores and other places of
business, and all the big mills and
other manufacturing plants. Whether
or not there has been loss of life can
not be learned tonight. If no one per-
ished in the wave of fire that swept
from woods to lake 1t is little short
Of miraculous. Later estimates Of the
loss place the amount at fully a mil
lion and a half, with very little in
surance. A call was issued tonight by
a relief committee for food, clothing
and shelter for 1,500 persons.

BAD MILL BLAZE.
Fire Started by Tramps Causes an
$4,000 Loss.

WAsECA, Mimi Aug. 25-Fire originating
in a building formerly occupied as a coffin
factory, at o'clock this morning, completely
destroyed the -four mill of Everett Aughen-
baugh Co., also their storehouse and two
carloads of flour. Excellent service by the
fremen saved the elevator filled with wheat.
The old mill destroyed by fire and rebuilt
in 1881 The loss is about $50, 600, and the
insurance is about $50, 00O. The proprietors
will rebuild. The fire is supposed to have
been set, probably unintentionally, by tramps.
The loss to the city is great, and citizens are
indignant and warm reception Is promised
for any tramps in future. This is the third
sfre in the week supposed to have been set
by tramps.

SPEAR GANG DEFIANT.
Troop of Cavalry Called Out to Sub

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-A tele-
gram received from the United States
marshal at Santa Fe, N. NJ, states that
the Spear gang of postoffice robbers
with other outlaws is fortified in Grant
county, N. NJ, and that owing to the
fact that many of the ranchers are in
sympathy with the robbers it is diff
cult to procure posse to effect their
arrest. About two weeks ago they
killed United States officer. The mar
shal at Santa Fe asks that troop of
cavalry from Fort Bayard be ordered
to assist, and the commanding general
has been directed to use his discretion
