NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The Shamrock was
out again for a spin to-day. She spread the
same sails that she had in Mondays trial,
with the exception of jib topsail of moder-
ate size. During the afternoon she logged
twelve miles over moderately rough sea.
The rough weather did not appear to check
the speed Of the Shamrock, which rode over
the water easily. The Shamrock started
from lightship at 11:3s. Her compass course
was southeast by east. and she behaved
beautifully in the strong breeze and heavy
sea. AT 1910 o'clock she went about and
stood on the starboard tack with sheets
eased away little. Forty minutes later
she gibed, and settling a big spinnaker to
port, ran to the Scotland lightship. The
operation of the breaking out the spinnaker
was done rapidly, but three minutes having
elapsed from the time the pole was lowered
until the big sail was sheeted home and
drawing full. She lowered this sail as che
was approaching Scotland lightship at 1:35,
and trimming sheets luffed around the old
hulk five minutes later. AT LAB the Sham
rock doused her jib topsail and shot past the
red light vessel with her rail awash, having
covered the distance In nineteen minutes
and ten seconds. She luffed around the
Sandy Hook lightship, passing IL to the
northwest at 2:lS, and ran for home under
lib and mainsail She covered the distance
between the two ships the second time in
nineteen minutes and forty seconds.

DEFENDER LOSES AGAIN
COLUMBIA WINS BY OVER THREE
MINUTES in A 2O.MILE RACE.
She Also Tries a New Mainsail of
Light-Weight Canvas and Finds
1t Works Successfully.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. SIN the finest
kind of sailing breeze to-day the cup de-
fender Columbia defeated Defender by three
minutes eleven seconds over a twenty-mile
course, ten miles to windward and return
She rounded the windward mark two min
utes thirty-three sseconds ahead of the De-
fender. besides making up handicap at
the start of thirty-one seconds. On the run
home, with spinnakers set, she gained thir-
ty-eight seconds over her rival. The wind
was about eight knots, from southeast by
south at the start, and freshened steadily
as the afternoon wore on, so that the boats
finished in twelve-knot breeze.
The race was for a cup offered by Colonel
VIM. Goddard, of Providence. The Columbia
this morning put on a new mainsail of
lighter weight canvas than she has prev
iously used and it was to test the new
had new fore staysail of the same weight
duck as the mainsail. The new mainsail
was the finest fit Columbia ever had. 1t is
a little longer at the hoist than the one
used on Monday, but is not any longer on
the boom or gaff than the other. On the
windward work the canvas set like board.
The staysail stood the test thoroughly also
and seemed little larger than the old one.
The topsail and jib topsail were the same
as used in Mondays race, but there was a
noticeable Improvement in the set of the
former.
The Columbia will go to New Rochelle to-
the sound for "a few days. Plans Tor her
movements just previous to the cup races
have not been made.

DON'T WANT BERETANIA SCHOOL
CONTRACT.
Victor Hoffman, the San Francisco
Builder. Asks to be Released-Con-
tract May Now be Let Here.

Victor Hoffman, the San Francisco
contractor, who was the successful bid
der for the Beretania street school, is
sick of his job and wants to back out
of it.
BY the Rio today he wrote the gov
ernment that he does not want the
contract: that, on account of the ad-
vance in the price of lumber and other
material, he cannot put up the build
ing for $17,999, as first proposed. He
asks that his bond be cancelled and
the contract be given to somebody
else.
There was quite a debate in the cab
inent meeting this morning over the
matter. President Dole and members
of the cabinet were quite positive that
the contractor had not acted fair. It
was decided that Mr. Hoffman shall
be held up to the mark. If he still re-
fuses to build the house for the amount
named in his tender, his bonds, in the
sum of 81 10000 will be declared forfeit
ed to the government.
If Hoffman still refuses to carry out
his contract the building will have 70
be given to someone else. Three 9th
err San FRANCISCO men are below the
lowest local bidder, but not very much.
1t is believed that if Mr.. Ouderkirk
will still put up the house for his oli-
ginal figure he will be given the con-
tract.
Another San Francisco man has fail
ed to come up on a contract. Fred p
Jones, who took $4,000 of the sewerage
bonds recently opened, writes that his
money is so tied up in other invest
ments that he wishes to withdraw from
the bond contract. Mr.. Jones will be
released, for the principal reason that
the bonds can be readily disposed of
here to equal advantage. Minister Da-
N nGtr cd

the bonds.
