The San Francisco call., 1899-10-08

There was hardly a seconds difference
between the two and to an unofficial OBJ
server of the race the contest might yet
be in doubt. SO close were the yachts to-
gether when they made the turn.
The manner in which they approached
the mark was almost as exciting as the
way in which they rounded it. The Sham
rock, which had stood a few hundred
yards to the westward of the line, gybed
around to the starboard tack and headed
straight for the mark, intending to keep
1t on her starboard hand in turning and
intending, moreover, to get around 1t
first That well laid plan of hers went
all aglee through a clever maneuver OF
the Columbia's captain. That vessel, hur-
rying to the mark, managed by a fine
bit of seamanship and quick shift of
the helm to interpose between the Sham
rock and the stake boat just at the mo-
ment when that point was bobbing past
the Shamrocks bow.
Round went the wheel Of the Columbia
up went the tiller of the Shamrock and
turning on their heels, the two boats
swung around the stake, beam to beam,
and so close together that a penny might
have been tipped from one deck to the
other Around they came with the Co
lumbia's bowsprit slightly overlapping
that of the Shamrock. But so slight was
margin of inches or of seconds that no
one could tell by what distance she led.
Trimming the sheets fiat aft as they came
into the wind the two headed back to the
finish line, close hauled and with booms
to port.
Then followed a series of tacking and
reaching in search of the wind or in an
effort to blanket each other or to get the
best position. AS far as one could see
there was nothing to criticize in the
handling of either boat, both being man
aged with a skill that compelled the ad-
miration of all who followed the contest.
The wind grew steadily lighter, and
owing to it's fuky character, which
worked alternately to the advantage of
one and then to the other. first one yacht
had the lead and then its rival. And as
the hours wore on it began to look as
though the history of the two preceding
races would be again repeated.
This feeling became conviction when, at
4 o'clock, the finish was still three or
four miles away and the yachts were
bobbing about in a breeze that was not
very far removed from no breeze at all.
Then boomeu a gun announcing that the
race was off, the Columbia then being ap-
parently about $50 yards nearer the goal
than was her rival.
The excursion fleet was out in as great
a force as in any of the preceding days,
and in the drunken beam-sea roll many
of the excursionists discovered what sea-
sickness is, If perchance they had not
made the discovery before the boats did
some wild reeling in the sea that surged
about the lightship while waiting for the
start of the race,
Dipping their noses deep in the sea,
Racking their stays and stanchions free;
In the wash Of the wind-whipped tide
The wallowing as exceedingly uncom-
Portable and the rolling was but little
lessened when the fleet got under way
and stood down the course in company
with the racers. The run back was not so
disquieting, the sea then having moder-
ated so much that but little motion was
felt on the larger craft.

BOERS REPORTED TO
BE ABOUT TO YIELD

- LONDON, Oct. THE most important
news comes from the Transvaal tonight,
which, If true, probably indicates that the
South African republic is about to yield,
or in any case that the Beers have aban-
doned all ideas of invading Natal.
The news is comprised in a cablegram
from Newcastle. Natal, which says that
the farmers who arrived there to-day
from the Buffalo River state that the
Beers are returning to their homes, leav-
ing patrols along the river. The comman-
ders still remain on the Free State bor-
der.
The dispatch also says that the feeling
at Newcastle now is that the Beers do not
intend to attack that place and that the
evacuation Of the town was premature
A dispatch from Durham also states that
the excitement there has abated, owing to
the Beers holding back from the frontier
This retirement Of the Beers is what the
British war authorities have expected, as
their defective commiSsariat would pre-
vent them from long remaining massed
along the border kilograms received here
lately have made frequent reference to the
scarcity of forage and supplies in the Boer
laagers and have stated that many of
those in the camps were inclined to strike
for their homes unless active operations
were undertaken Immediately
The dispatch from Newcastle looks as
though they had done as they threatened
and had abandoned the idea Of fighting.
Meanwhile further transports from India.
with two field hospitals and hussars, have
arrived at Durham and the men and ma
terial were forwarded to Ladysmith in

White, V. c., who will command the Brit
ish forces in Natal, has also arrived and
landed. He was greeted by a large crowd.

ANTI-BRITISH SPIRIT
OF THE GERMAN PRESS

BERLIN, Oct. AFFAIRS in South At
rica are still commented upon in the press
here and elsewhere In the same anti
British spirit Even the Liberal press is
now hostile to England. The Frankfort
Zeitung says:
1T is a regrettabe face that even in
constitutional country like England the
Cabinet is enabled to put Parliament in
the presence of accomplished facts In
way that makes 1t almost impossible for
Parliament to do anything but consent to
warlike measures"
The Cologne Gazette calls the coming
struggle Of the Beers heroic. with the
same heroic thought as inspired their
struggle in 1851
They go into the fight fearlessly," says
the Rhenish organ. "and the world may
hear of their losing battles, but never of
their losing courage or hope"
The influential Hanover Courier consid-
ers that Germany's chances will be very
poor If England vanQuishes the Beers as
then German Southwest Africa will be
lost
military probabilities, the general opinion
being that England will not be ready TO
take the offensive until November In
the meantime, it is believed the Beers
will do England real damage The milf
tary expert of the Cologne Gazette's star
says: German and French artillery and
the Mauser will be opposed to English
weapons. Both sides are good shots and
military experts will follow the duel
which will be mainly decided by the rifle
with keen interest"
Some of the papers discuss the eco
nomic consequences Of the war The Rar-
liner Tageblatt believes that a dimjnu-
ton of the gold output would seriously
affect business. The Government press
remains mute. with the exception of the
North German Gazette, which recalls the
fact that the Transvaal has no right to
expect German Outlanders to render mill
tary service.

TREATED THE POLICE.
And They Reciprocated With an Invitation
to Police Headquarters.

John Lofsren, who lives at 123 Main
street. was arraigned in the central
district court yesterday morning,
charged with illegal liquor selling. A
raiding party visited the house yes
terday, and was admitted to the room
where the stimulant was on sale, I'M
der the supposition that they We're
customers.
Officers Condy and Keyes made Up
the first detail, and as they were in
citizens clothing, nothing was suS- d
pected. They were provided with bot
tie of beer each, and in the eyes OF
Lofgren were merely new customers.
A little later, Officer Brady, also in
citizens clothes, entered the room and
called for whiskey which was provid-
ed with as much alacrity as the weak
er fluid.
There We're a half dozen men sitting
about the room, drinking and smoking
and when the officers announced that
the proprietor would have to accom-
pany them to the Waldo street station
house, sort of stampede seemed en-
inent.
Lofgren was ordered to pay a fine OF
$50, as it was his first offense.
Eta Hardie, the young woman who
was taken out of John b. Quinton ;
tenement at SIS Main street, Saturday
night, was arraigned on the charge of
Vagrancy. Her sister appeared in
court and said the defendant came from
Nova Scotia. She has been little wild
but if the court would give her another
chance, she would do what she could
to reform her
The police introduced testimony to
show that the girls record is bad, and
that she served a term in the Ian
caster industrial school a few years
| ago. Miss Hardie was sentenced to
one year in the woman's prison at
| Sherborn.
John Burns was charged with receiv-
ing stolen property and with embez-
element. He was sentenced to the
house of correction on the first charge
| but as the witnesses in the embezzie-
ment case were not present, it was
| continued until this morning.
Thomas f. Philbrick, charged with
| assault had his case placed on file as
| the complainant could not be found
George Nugent, who, previous to his
enlistment in the army, was we'll
known to the police, was charged with
drunkenness and had his case placed
on file.
Charles King, 10 years cid was
charged with drunkenness. His mother
asked that he be given another chance
and the case was placed on file
Other drunk cases met with the fol.
lowing disposition: Michael ]. Flaher-
ty and Thomas Wickoff, fined SIC each;
Charles Carlson, continued.

THE NEW HOSIERY.

Novel In Design and Gay in Color
Perhaps in no line Of wearing apparel
has there been SO marked a departure
within two years as in hosiery. The uni-
versally worn black stockings. In spite Of
their many points of excellence, have no
place in the modern wardrobe.
In the place Of the sober black articles
there have come the tartan SILK ribbed
hose and fancy stripes in Isle thread with
woolly finish and they might at first
sight be mistaken for heavy weight arti-
Gle. These come I'm such combina tons as
yellow. blue and black. and green, coral
and black, the most brilliant color In each
being made of SILK which is interviewer
with the Isle thread.
The prettiest novelties in Isle thread
are the checks, composed of two shades
of one color and one Of white. The
checks are perhaps one-third of an inch
square. and are continued quite to the
tip of the toe. One very beautiful check
is shown of gray, green and white. with
toe and hem at the top of black, says
Harper's Bazaar.
The French quadrille Is another very
pretty conceit, and Is formed by a sue
cession Of narrow stripes Of green and
white upon black background.
There Is a bewilderlng variety Of eX-
quiste Weayes for evening wear. which
embrace every imaginable color and de-
sign. One Of the novelties is the boot,
top design OF embroidery reaching from
the toe TO one-third the length Of the
hose, where II is finished In the form OF a
