braska horse was not heavily played by
the crowd with the exception of the
Western contingent, who banked Oh him

his record Of 2:1O, made last week at
Peoria. but he showed good staying quail
tiles through four exciting heats.
Coney, the we'll backed fayorite made Il
splendid appearance on the track and
kept near the front all through the race,
except in the second heat, when he went
into the air badly when passed by Shade

scoring for the first heat he reared and

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE
ATHLETIC CONTESTS
Advisory Committee Agrees Upon
Rules for the Anglo-American
Track Events

LONDON July 1S.-Messrs. Jackson,
Wendell, Morrison and Brooks of the In
ternatonal university advisory committee
held a final meeting at the Queens Club
Brighton, this afternon to complete ar
rangements and decide upon the order of
Sa rday's events in the athletic contests
between Yale and Harvard and Oxford
and Cambridge. 1T was agreed that the
programme should open at 4 p. with
the long Jump and hammer-throwing con-
currently, closing with the three-mile and
high jump.
The question as to the number of trials
to be allowed in the hammer-t throwing
and long jump was the occasion of con-
siderable discussion. the English rule be-
ing four trials each and the American rule
six trials. A compromise will be reached
on six tries for hammer and five tries for
jump. For the high jump the usual Gus
tom Of both sides IS three trials al each
bar Runs under the bar do not count as
tries
Information gathered at all the training
quarters gives promise of close contests,
especially in the 100-yard hurdles, the
quarter-mile and the long jump. The ques-
ton of selecting a mate for G. D. DAILY,
Harvard. for the long. jump will be de-
cided between ]. T. Harrington of Har-
ward, Morse of Yale and Roche of Har-
ward tomorrow. G.. G.. Vassal of Oxford
who, with K. O. Bevan OF Cambridge will
represent the English universities. has the
top record and continues in splendid form.

FASTEST OF BRITISH YACHTS.
The Shamrock Does Not Show Her
Actual Speed.

COWES, Isle Of Wight, July 1S-On the
actual difference in, the times Of the
Shamrock and BritGnnia at the various
points and the times at the finish of to-
days races it does not appear that the
Shamrock has a great chance to win the
Americas cup. These signs, however
may be deceptive. 1t was the opinion Of
those who closely wstched the race from
the steamer following the yachts that the
Shamrock was never pushed to her ut
most in to-days trial, and that Mr.. Fife
the designer of the. yacht. who practi-
cally engineered the$ contest on behalf of
Sir Thomas Upton, merely desired to as
certain whether the shamrock could show
the Britannia a clean pair Of heels. He
had no desire, he sid, to let everybody
into the secret of ths actual merit or best
speed of the challe3ger.
Confirmation of thN foregoing opinion is
found in the fact that while the Britain
mia carried every possible stitch Of can
vas, the Shamrock was running before the
wind from the Nab. lightship to the So
lent bank buoy, anG only her jib headed
with the topsail instead Of the club top
sail, like the Britannia. and that on the
broad reach home from the Solent buoy
the Shamrock lowered her jib topsaii,
which would have been of material as
sistance had her skipper really wished to
show her at her besc.
Mr.. Fife and Mr.. Jamison were on
board the Shamrock, but Sir Thomas Lip
ton followed on board the Erin, which.
with few yachts and one solitary but

crowded excursion steamer, escorted the
racers around the course.
The fresh breeze that was blowing at
the start dropped somewhat, but revived
sufficiently to bring the racers home at a
spanking pace and proved an excellent
wind from the racing point of view as
three points, namely-beating to wind
rock showed to the best advantage beat
ing to windward. and gained six min
utes on the Britannia on the eight miles
beat to the Nab lightship from the start,
although beating is considered one of the
Britannia s strong points. On the run
back to Cowes the Shamrock's gain was
less perceptible, but she did not set her
club tOpSail. and so did not do her best.
On the reach home the Shamrock did bet
ter and could evidently have done the
distance in much shorter time If she had
been put on her mettle.
The Shamrock is decidedly the fastest
boat ever launched in these waters. No
other craft ever gave the Britannia such
a beating on a fair sailing trial. There
was considerable maneuvering of the
yachts before, the start. and the opinion
was freely expressed that the Shamrock
did not appear to be so well handled as
the Britannia, which was in the hands
of the veteran Carter. who skippered her
successfully against the Vigilant in 1894.
The Britannia was sailed beautifully and
excited general admiration among the i'm
mense crowds of fashionable people who
witnessed the return of the boats from
every point of vantage.

NEEL WINS AT TENNIS.

CHICAGO. July 1S-Carr Neel defeated
Allen of Yale in the final singles in the
Western tennis tournament to-day. and
will tomorrow meet Kreigh Collins for
the championship. Neel is looked upon as
almost a sure winner in the game with
Collins. as the latter has not this year
been putting up any such game as Neel
has played throughout the tournament.
The game between Neel and Allen to-
day was long and hard fought some of
the sets running up to twelve and four
teen before a winner was shown. Allen
played with desperation but Neel put up
the same steady, careful game that has
carried him to victory so many times, and
Allen. although he made a good showing
at all times, did not look like winner at
any time The score was: Ga, Ga, 2-6.

New Consul From Guatemala.

The new appointee to the consulship OF
Guatemala in this city is not Manuel
Morales Saemz, as has been erroneously
stated in a morning paper.
The appointment has not been officially
made as yet, but it is almost a certainty
that the honor will fall to the lot either of
Don Domingo Morales, Minister of Public
instruction, or Gabriel Estrada Monson, a.
wealthy coffee planter and near relative
of the President. The secretary will be
Pedro Ocosta! The reason for the re-
moval of the present Consul, PHILIPPE Gall
cia, is not on account of any unfitness he
quainted with the English language.
