TEDDYs DEPARTURE.
Band Played "a Hot Time" as the
Train Pulled Out.

Las Vegas. n. M, June Ex-Governor
Roosevelt was given a royal speeding
at 80 o'clock this morning on his de-
parture for New York city. Roosevelt
and party were accompanied to their
car by prominent citizens of the south
west among whom were Governor Otero
of New Mexico and Governor Murphy of
Arizona.
The mail train to which the special
car was attached was a half hour late.
RoOsevelt's appearance on the car
platform was the signal for enthusiastic
cheering by the large crowd that had
assembled. In fact whenever he ap-
peared during his stay here the en-
thusiasm was almost unbounded. When
the train finally pulled out of the depot
on it's journey northward and eastward,
the bands struck up the strains of "A

Roosevelt bid farewell to those who had
delighted to do him honor.
During his stay here Roosevelt re-

VARSITY RACE.
Four Great College Teams Line
Up at POughkeepsie.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 26.-If the
day had been made for the occasion it
could not have been more favorable for
the four cared race between crews of
Cornell university and the University
of Pennsylvania and the eight Dared
and Pennsylvania which were scheduled
to be rowed at and o'clock p. m,
respectively, both for two miles.
Clear skies, still water and just the
suspicion of a breeze to temper the
brightly shining gun greeted the college
men when they rose this morning and
there was every indication that it would
last. The trains arriving during the
forenoon brought a good many people,
and especially college men, but the in
dicatiOnS are that the attendance today
will not be large, the greater crowd be-
ing expected for the university race to-
morrow, in which Wisconsin will make
a fourth contestant.
The interest of the morning centered
in the rawing for positions. The Cor
nell got first choice and was given the
outside course nearest the channel of
the river, a course which westward of
Pennsylvania has distinct advantage in
an ebb tide. Wisconsin got the inside
course which has usually been so dis
astrous to Pennsylvania and which is so
near the bank that there is some times
a back set Pennsylvania got the course
next to Wisconsin and Columbia next
to Cornell.
The courses number from the shore
the inside crew being 325 feet from the
shore. Numbering in that way to the
east the crews drew as follows: No 1.
Wisconsin; No. 2, Pennsylvania; No. 3.
Columbia; No. 4. Cornell The positions
hold for the races of both days. The
four Dared crews of Pennsylvania and
Cornell will row with Pennsylvania
nearest the west shore and Cornell in
the channel. There is little advantage
in this, as both crews will get the ben
eft of the tide. In the four cornered
race today PENNSYLVANIA will be near
est the west shore in the slack water
with Columbia next and Cornell again
on the outside. 1t is a curious fact
that Cornell has always had the luck
to draw the outside course, upon which
they have invariably won.
Coach McConville took his bad luck
in getting the inside course quite phil
osophically, saying: well, we will do
our best wherever we are and L hope
there is not much difference -
The drawings were followed by dis
cussion over the tide and the benefit
the outside would get if the race was

flags, was erected opposite the yacht,

no chance of seeing anything out of the
ordinary assembled during the morning
in the vicinity of the yard and detach-
ments of police appeared to preserve
order.
From the river little is seen except
the stern of the yacht where in bright,
golden letters, shone the name Sham

mayor Of London, and Lady Phillips,
Herbert Gladstone, Major Sherman
Crawford. the Hon. w. Walsh and H.
NJ. McGilldOwny, the last three repre-
senting the Royal Ulster Yacht club.
After the usual loyal toasts, Admiral
Beresford proposed the success of the
Shamrock and briefly sketched the
struggle of times gone by and Sir
Thomas IiptOn'S gallant entry into the
breach and challenge for the cup. Then,
the admiral raised his glass and said:
Now we come to the last scene but
one. May the Shamrock win a fair.
square race and may she have the ad-
dftional ballast of the Americas cup
when she returns.
The guests heartily raised their glass
es in response and the owner of the
Shamrock modestly replied with a few
words of thanks.
After lunch the party drove to Sa-
muda's yard in two coaches Admiral
the object of much attention while pro-
ceeding down the Thames embankment
and through the city and White chapel.
Lady Russell christened the yacht
pagne, saying:
Il christen you Shamrock. God bless
you; good luck to you; may you bring
back the cup"
a signal from Lady Russell, the boat
and the cradle glided safely into the
water.
After the launch the party assembled
in the adjoining tent and had tea. The
health of the Shamrock was drunk and
congratuIatorY speeches were made.
AS the Shamrock reached midStream,
from the slips, a barge collided with
her, striking the yachts bow above the
water line and making a big dent. The

San Francisco, Gala, June 26-Private
Wesley Kirby, of Company H, Twenty
fourth infantry, was shot through the
leg by Private Frank WigfaIl. of the

backing his shoes when WigfaH loaded
his rifle and fired. Seeing that the shot
had not proved fatal he was reloading
his gun when it was taken from him by
