best of the day, the challenger set a
No; jib and staysan under her big
ballOOOner.
Her mainsa1 set stiff. while that of
the Columbia seemed to be doing little
work At 1:30 both boats struck
light streak, each being affected about
the same. The Columbia, however, got
the first freshening breeze and pulled
up on her rival. It was a grand race.
AT half a mile from the mark it was
anybody's fight.
At 1913 down came Shamrock's balloon
jib. Two minutes later Columbia fol-
lowed suit. Both boats were now stand
ing for the mark, the Columbia creep
ing up on her rival.
Just as the Shamrock was about to
round, it looked from the Associated
Press boat as though Capt. Barr of the
Columbia had established an overlap
lie certainly called for room, for the
Shamrock bore away and only rounded
nine seconds ahead of the Columbia.
The official time of rounding the outer
Shamrock, 1:36:25.
Columbia, 1864
The surprise of the run out was the
remarkable speed shown by the Colum-
b1a during the last half mile before the
turn She kept her balloon lib a few
minutes longer than the Shamrock but
even after this was in she seemed to
be gaining fast Captain Barr of the
Columbia certainly got the better of the
turn, and when both were away on the
starboard tack, close hauled, she had
the windward position.
Both boats are now evidently running
for the mark and with the wind at
present rate and direction it ap-
appears, from here, that the boats
can not finish within time limit
AS the boats turned the outer mark
at 1876 the Shamrock seemed to be a
length or two in the lead with both
boats sailing seemingly for home At
1:56 the Shamrock is slightly in the
lead
At 2:1O p. m, the Shamrock appears
to be increasing her lead. The yachts
are now about four miles from turning
point and both are on port tack, head
ing out to sea. where they are ap-
parently getting better breeze. The
relative position seems unchanged, but
Columbia appears to be getting the
best breeze.
The Associated Press dispatch boat
Wanda, which is nearing shore here
signals that the Shamrock is ahead at
3:O5.
WILL NOT BE A RACE.
The Columbia is off shore on the
port tack at 3:O7 and Shamrock star
board. Both making slow tacks, the
wind evidently being too light for long
reaches. Yachts fully II miles from
finish. Wind light, about three knots.
At 1888 p. m, a dispatch boat of the
Associated Press has just signalled
Columbia is now ahead. The yachts
nearly s miles to go at 3:43. It is very
doubtful if they can cover the distance
in time to make it a race.

JUST AS THEY FOUGHT
The Twentieth Will Appear On
TOpeka's Streets.

The people of Kansas who come to
Topeka for the reception to the Twen-
tieth Kansas will have the satisfaction
and the privilege of seeing the fighters
march in the uniform and with the guns
which they used in the Philippine cam
paign.
Permission for the regiment to retain
the arms and equipment has been re-
ceived by Governor Stanley from the
chief of ordnance at Washington.
This is in response to a request made
by the governor at the suggestion of
the general committee.
The governor becomes responsible for
government and upon this condition the
members of the regiment are permitted
to come home in all the regalia of war.
This means that the regiment will
have additional inducement to remain
intact after the demonstration of honor
and welcome in this city.

Mr.. NILES KILLED.
Wealthy Topeka Citizen Meets
a Violent Death.

Byron B. Niles, one of the pioneers of
Topeka, was found dead in his buggy
near Gordon and Taylor streets in
North Topeka Friday evening shortly
after z o'clock. The body was leaning
over one side of the buggy with the
head between the wheel and shaft, and
blood was flowing from an ugly wound
over the ear, caused, apparently, by
the head striking the wheel.
The buggy was first noticed by sew
eral men standing in front of the gro
Gerry store at the corner of Gordon and
Taylor streets. The horse was walking
slowly and it was seen that the seat
was vacant. Asher Hunter, one of the
men, stepped into the road and caught
the horse by the bride, and then it was
discovered that the body of a man was
pitched forward across the side OF the
buggy. Hunter called a colored man
named Mcdonald, and together they
placed the body in an upright position.
The flesh was still warm, but life was
extinct.
It is believed that death resulted ac-
cldentally, although it was at first
thought that atapOplexy was the cause. The
coroner'S jury this morning returned a
verdict of accidental death on the the
Ory that Mr.. Niles was thrown forward
on the wheel by the sudden lurching of
the buggy Sheriff Cook was informed
by a man living about two miles west
of North Topeka that when Mr. Niles
passed his place the horse he was driv-
ing was to all appearances endeayorine
from this information and decided that
Mr. Niles fell with sufficient force
against the wheel to cause his death.
The body was taken to Stoker's under
undertaking rooms last night and Mrs
Niles and her daughter sent for 1t
was then thought that possibly the
wound over the ear was caused by a
blow or bullet, and later a careful
examination was made by Drs. Stewart,
McCHntOck and Lindsay and Coroner
Westerfield. It was the opinion of each
of the physicians that the wound was
the result of Mr.. Niles falling forward
and striking his head on the wheel
Mr.. Niles was ~ years of age and
lived at the corner of Sixth and TAYLOR
streets for 80 years. He was quite
wealthy, and owned the farm at Me-
noken in addition to his homestead on
West Sixth street. At the time of the
boom Mr.. Niles was offered an enor-
nous sum for his homestead property
by parties who desired to erect resi-
dence flats at that corner, but he re-
fused it
The funeral will be held from the
residence at Sixth and Taylor streets
Sunday afternoon.

SANTA FE TO PAY.
The Company Will Furnish Meals to
the Twentieth.

The Santa Fe Railway company will
pay the Harvey eating house people for
furnishing the meals to members of the
Twentieth Kansas regiment on the trip
from San Francisco to Topeka, and
wait for reimbursement until the next
session of the legislature.
General Passenger Agent Black OF
the Santa F'e says the regiment will be
on the road three days, as considerable
time will necessarily have to be spent
at the various meal stations The bill
of the Harvey people will be paid in
cash by the road, as will also the bill of
the Pullman company for furnishing
SleeperS for the troops.
The action of the road is very crafty
ing, as the meals for the entire regi-
ment on the road three days will amount
to 6, considerable sum.

lies they fought here. and hanging 10
the belt of Chief Jake Wells are three
new scalps labelled "Wnkesbarre."
Richmond made il three straights from
the club that before The season started
was going 10 win the pennant without
half trying. The Barons put in their best
pitcher. Chase Patton the young man
Washington is after, and the rooters ex-
pected there would be some excitement,
hut there was very little. Pat wasn't as
strong as usual. and the bunch support
ing him seemed to think they were going
20 drop another game so played like
monkeys TO start. The result was that
when the Champions had finished swing
ing bats three runs were piled up against
the visitors.
