THE INTERN TIONAL
YACHT RACES.

After two weeks of fukes the Sham
rock and Columbia got down to bust
ness last Monday and sailed race.
The Yankee boat won by handsome
margin, something more than 10 min
utes of time and mile of distance sep
arating the two boats ut the finish. Pub
lie interest al over the country, which
had waned on account of the many fail
ures, immediately revived when it was
known that apparently the Britishers
We're not quite fast enough yet. The
weather conditions Monday We're very
disaouraging rain and mist prevailing
nearly all day. Notwithstanding this
both boats appeared at the starting
point ON time and were sent away, the
Columbia getting TO windward of the
challenger by good management. Once
! having the weather berth she never lost
ii on the beat ont, though Captain Ho-
garth tried to get the Shamrock past
! the defender on several occasions. The
Columbia was held close to the wind
with every sail flat, while the Shamrock
was kept away somewhat. The result
was a steady gain by the American boat
which rounded the stake over 8 minutes
ahead On the run home the race was
more even, but still the Columbia gain
ed slightly. The experts seem to agree
that the Yankee skipper handled his
boat better than the Englishman and
thereby added many minutes to his lead.
But most of the yachtsmen maintain
the American yacht is also somewhat
faster in getting through the water, and
that Sir Thomas Upton will be unable
to lift the America $ cup this year
Tuesdays race was disappointing be-
cause the British yacht was disabled
after sailing five miles out, and the Am
orleans sailed around the course alone.
The Shamrock topmast broke short off
and fell bringing with ii the club-top-
sail. 1t was useless to attempt to make
repairs and finish the race, SO Capt. Ho-
garth went back to his anchorage, while
the Columbia marked up second win
ming to her credit. 1t is unfortunate
that the defender should have been the
beneficiary of an accident as there is lit
tie glory in beating cripple, but the
rule Is iron-clad. If crippled before the
start, time for repairs is allowed, but
once over the line if anything carries
away the sufferer must make such re-
pairs as he cen or if rendered hors de !
combat as the Shamrock was, he must |
take the consequences. There is good |
sense and logic behind the rule The |
races are test of construction as we'll |
as of design and sea,nanship. Had the !
accident not occurred. however, it is |
believed the Yankee boat would have re-
peated the beating she gave the chal- |
lenger Monday During the twenty-five !
minutes the yacht sailed she had gone
through the Shamrocl-'s lead like a streak !
and had established lead Of more than
300 yards on the weather bow. The |
course was triangular, and the Column |
bia easily sailed round it within the
time limit This leaves only one more !
race to be won by Mr. Iselin's boat to |
insure the retention of the cup. The |
third of the series will be sailed to-day, |
Thursday, weather permitting, and the
experts look for another American vic
tory.

The great danger to the republican

known will not mix with water. Roads
that are oiled retain the water III pools

from forming dust In sand frequent

oil is poured on hot, three applications
being necessary. The surface through
