On the Last Leg.
The wind hauled more ahead and 1t was
a close reach back. Baby jibtopsails were
set. the Defender first sending hers up the
stay. The breeze was OF moderate strength
and the Columbia drew rapidly away. This
continued until there was another shift OF
wind, more to the southwark, which favor
ed the boat asterh, the Defender. and she
closed up much of the gap the new boat
had opened. Sheets were again eased with
the shifting wind, and later f1attened before
they crossed the home line. The Defender
beat the Columbia 25 seconds on the last

Columbia Makes an Error.

After a deal OF maneuvering to the
northward and westward of the lightship
and gybing over, both stood for the line
on the starboard tack the Columbia well
to windward. When within 800 yards of
the weather end the Defender went in
stays. Captain Rhodes had discovered that
he was ahead of time. The Columbia kept
on, and under the bow of the flagship went
about and crossed on the port tack.
She was too soon. The starting signal
had not been given, although two guns
had been fired. Barr returned, and the De-
fender, coming down at pretty gait. went
across, followed by the Columbia, with a
handicap of two seconds.
The old boat went into stays and planted
herself broad on the Columbia's weather
beam. Here was a fix for the new yacht
and she was inexpressibly bothered in con-
sequence the whole OF the windward leg.
For eleven minutes the yachts hung with
port tacks aboard. The Defender was
pointing fully as high as the new vessel
and she was footing quite as well, if not
slightly better. Then they stood offshore,
on the starboard tack, and did not reln-
quish il for eighteen minutes.
At III. 29m. 30s. the old aluminium dar-
ling went about to port, and fifteen seconds
later the Columbia did likewise. She was
still to the leeward Of the Defenders wake.
One veteran who had closely followed
every movement of the craft exclaimed:
"Hows Columbia's stock now. Would
you sell for ten cents on a dollar?"
The scene was not calculated at that
moment to make particularly buoyant be-
lievers in the new boat. They had not
forgotten her bad start, and the bothering
in consequence of il. and then her poor
club topsail was in full view, and as for
the strong breeze and the tumbling seas
they were apparently enough.
Standing in toward the shore, about
Seabright, the water was somewhat
smoothed, and the wind commenced to
drop. Here the Columbia woke up TO the
situation, and began to forereach on the
other ship in telling way. She worked out
TO the windward of the Defenders wake
in a jiffy. and her position was approved.
Columbia i'm the Lead.
They stood in toward the shore until
2h. 5m. 20s., when the Defender went
about, but the Columbia hung on to her
port tack until Oh. I'm. los. She was doing
well. In less than half an hour more the
Columbia had passed her rival to wind
ward, and the boat marking the end of the
weather leg was in full sight. Beside this
mark boat was the flagship Corsair, with
big red ball swung heavenward, as a
supplementary guide to the racing sisters
| 1t was just 2h. 35m. when the new yacht
placed the older boat we'll astern. The
mark was rounded, as follows:
II. NJ. S
Columbia ..-...--..--...-.......... 3S 8
Defender ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 80 II
That is only a difference of forty-fi
seconds, but then the Defenders early
start left the margin of I'm. 25s. in favor
of the new boat.

keYenue ON Tobacco.

Among the recent rulings of the rev.
enue department are the following:
AS the result of information received
from collector in one of the large to-
bacco- growing states where league or
company of tobacco growers has been
formed, ruling of Importance to farm
ers and growers has been made. An
investigation of this company has been
ordered, for the purpose of ascertainipg
whether it has been organized to sell leaf
tobacco owned by its members; and il. it
Is found that the latter have so organ
lied, the office holds that they must
qualify and pay special tax as dealers in
leaf tobacco, and can only sell their to-
bacco to other qualified dealers, or to
manufacturers of tobacco or cigars, or to
persons who are known to purchase to-
bacco in packages for export. 1t is also
held that farmer cannot deliver his to-
bacco to any other person, or to COM
bination of persons, for the purpose of
being resold directly to the consumer; he
must sell and deliver his tobacco, and
cannot employ others to sell and deliv r
the same for him. Ii the tobacco is sold
by an agent, the farmer or grower must
deliver the tobacco directly to the pur-
chaser.
In another case il was held that after
leaf dealer buys tobacco from the far
mer, which is uupacked and loose, he is
required to pack it in hogsheads, cases
or bales before delivery to another
person; and further, that all persons who
buy leaf tobacco from farmers, and who
afterwards offer such tobacco for sale at
auction in the name of the farmer. are
liable to special tax the same as other
dealers.

Senator Quay, who has been on trial
in the courts of Pennsylvania for several
weeks on charge OF using the peoples
funds for private and speculative pur-
poses, was acquitted by the jury but
convicted in the minds of the people Of
his state and the country. Quay was
renominated by the republican caucus
for senator, but sufficient number of
brave repub Jeans withheld their sup
port and the legislature was in a dead
lock on the question throughout the
session and adjourned without an cleo
tion. The governor of Pennsylvania
promptly appointed Quay to the va
canoy Notwithstanding the odium at
taching to the appointee. This is but
another of the manifest reasons why
United States senators should be elected
by the people precisely as other officials
are chosen.

cobb policy FOR THE PUBLIC
Probably the announcement OF pfd'
posed change in the office OF warden OF
the state prison atWaupun in the Sent
incl of yesterday was news to Warden
Roberts and in advance OF the plans of
the Board of Control. There are good
reasons for believing that the announ-
cement was correct. Without dispar-
agement of Mr.. Roberts the change is
to be commended.
The present warden, like almost all Of
his numerous predecessors, was selected
for the position with more respect for
the politicians than regard for the char
acter and responsibilities of the duties
of the office. Mr.. McClaughrey, who is
suggested as his successor, is described
as comparatively young man whose
education and experience have given
him recognition as an authority and eg-
pert in the care of criminals. His resi-
dence in another state is complete guar
aesee that there are no political consid-
erations involved, and the selection OF
such a man be taken as evidence
that the Board of Control is in earnest
in the work of relieving the state insti-
buttons of the spoils system. 1t will be
in line with the policy which placed a
specially qualified superintendent in
charge of the state home at Chippewa
Falls after a search which extended be-
yond the state boundaries to find him.
1t is policy which brought good re-
suits in that instance and in every other
where it has bsen pursued.
OF course such policy would not be
possible under McGillivray patronage
law, but the defeat OF that measure
leaves the governor and the Board OF
Control at liberty to consider the pu bile
welfare and to follow the dictates .oi
common sense in selecting subordinate
officials and employees of state institu-
tions. 1t is pleasant to note their dis
position to make use oftheir opportunity
in this important case Milwaukee
