The success of the merchants excursion

to the efforts of City Ticket and Passenger
Agent Frank Lewis of the Union Pacific.
He accompanied the train to Topeka from
Mania ttan and looked after the selling of

1t might be added in this connection that
it is hardly necessary for the merchants Of
Kansas City to run trade excursion trains

BRISTOL, Aug. 14.-Yachtsmen who have Wis
tied Bristol since the prospects Of the Upton
challenge became known think that from
present appearances two. II not three, boats
will be built by as many syndicates. and there
is good reason to suppose that there will be
not more than one yacht built at any one boat
establishment. 1t seems to be a foregone con-
clusion that il everything In regard to tho
challenge works, smoothly an order is pretty
sure to be placed at Bristol for q craft that will
surpass the Defender In speed.
80 far as an order being placed for Q boat, at
Bristol is concerned there 10 no real founda-
ton to assume that such e the CAGE. and the
belief Is that only one possible defender OF the
cup will be built at Bristol this, time. This
theory seems all the more reasonable from the
tactics that were adopted In 1894 and In 1895.
when the Defender syndicate got the sigma
ture of the Bristol firm on an agreement to
build only one boat at that time for the defence
OF the renowned cup. The experience 9f two
placed orders at Bristol for two boats, the
Yigilant and Colonia. is apt to put men like c:
Oliver Iselin and other prominent managers Of
cup defence boats on their guard.
