A FAIR RACE.
Sir Thomas Upton Has no Fault to Find
and no Complaint TO Make.

Sir Thomas Upton Has no Fault to Find
and no Complaint TO Make.
NEW YORK, October 16.-Sir
Thomas Upton took his defeat with the
spirit of a true sportsman.
1T was fair and square race" said
he to an Associated Press representative
who saw him on board the Erin. I'VE
we're beaten fairly. No two boats ever
sailed q better race sud they were
equally well handled as far as I could
see"
Speaking of the Columbia, he said:
'fShe is fine. fast boat and she was
splendidly sailed. We gave her three
rousing cheers and her people responded
right heartily Mr.. Iselin and those
associated with him on board are hon
orable gentlemen and l wish to say that
it is a pleasure to sail against such
competitors"
Asked if he wished to say something
about the Shamrock, Sir Thomas said:
my boat was well sailed and the
sails were well handled. I have no
complaint to make at all. AS l said
before, it was a square race and we
were fairly beaten. We shall have an
other race tomorrow, l hope, and I
think there will be plenty of wind for
both yachts"
All those on board the Erin who saw
the race agreed that there were no
fiukes and that both yachts were sailed
on the merits.

others, think, will admit it. We are
ready to race tomorrow, and as for
wind and sea we are prepared to take
our chances with both. The boat
sailed well to-day. During the race we
did not have hitch or accident OF any
sort. Everything stood the strain in a

closed for the night, espied hanging in
front of a store q ham. One of them

Preparations all finished, one Of them

see, a thin stream Of sand trickled out.

HER MAYNARD BOY,

In Launceston (Tasmania) a mother OF
80 years brought her SON of 70 to the Bene-
violent Asylum to be looked after. The
poor lad had apparently taken up with bad
companions and fallen into bad habits. The
other day his speech was certainly thick.
while from the odor of his clothes and
breath her worst fears were aroused-gne' d
every reason to suspect that he'd begun
smoking. The asylum superintendent took
charge of the BARN, and promised to let
his mother know if he misconducted HIM
self so she might come and correct him.
Tasmania has always been reckoned
healthy but this Launceston example
points to the profound clairvoyance of
Swift in imagining a land of Strulburgs.-

knots an hour. Shamrock's balloon jib
top sail was set seven minutes after
rounding the outer mark and for a time
it seemed as though she was overhaul
ing Columbia. At the time that
appeared to be a reasonable conclus-
ion because she being the stern boat,
was in position to take advantage OF
any squalls that might come along. 1t
soon became evident, however, that her
apparent gain was only imaginary and
that the Columbia was rot only holding
her own, but as the figures showed later,
she was really gaining.
The finish line, marked by the COM
mittee boat and the Sandy Hook light
was not visible until the yachts were
within a couple of miles of it. Then
there was rush OF steamers to reach
the goal ahead of the yachts.
1t could not be called an exciting
finish, nor was it tame one, altogether.
So few boats were present to witness it
and the weather was so depressing that
as a spectacle the finish might be
called a poor one from a picturesque
standpoint. Both in time and distance
the yachts were so far apart that it
was rather poor finish from sports
mans view.
When the Columbia with her great
yellow main sail broad of starboard
swept across the finish line Shamrock
was hardly visible astern, only the out
lines of her sails being seen. Ten min
utes and eleven seconds in time elapsed
between the finishing of Columbia and
Shamrock, which meant in distance
about a mile and half. The official
time was: Columbia, 3:54:59; Sham
rock, 4:05:10.
THE OFFICIAL SUMMARY IS:
Start-Columbia, 11:01:06; Sham
rock. 11:01:0S.
Finish-Columbia 3:54:5S; Sham
rock, 4:05:1O.
Elapsed time Columbia, 1858;
Shamrock, 5:04:O7.
Corrected time-Columbia 453:5 SO;
Shamrock, 5:04:01.
Thus the Columbia wins by 10 min
utes actual and 10 minutes seconds
corrected time The elapsed time of the
Columbia from the outer mark to the
finish was hours and six minutes and
40 seconds; Shamrock, hours min
utes 2 seconds; showing that in the ff-
teen mile run before the wind the Co.
lumbia had gained % seconds.
After the race, while the yachts were
being towed back to their moorings
Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin
ranged up alongside Columbia. The
Erin's officers and men, led by Sir
Thomas Upton, gave three hearty
cheers. They were quickly responded
to with three cheers from the Colum-
bias men, led by Oliver Iselin.
A number of yachts fred guns as sa-
lutes to both yachts at the finish. The
flagship Corsair was among them and
as soon as the American yacht had
crossed the line, Commodore ]. Pier
po8t Morgan ordered American en-
signs to be hoisted at each masthead.
Every steamer saluted with her whistle,
and the Shamrocks welcome was quite
as noisy as that of the Columbia. The
yachts and the excursion feet soon
vanished in the mist, homeward bound.

kEEN DISAPPOINTMENT
Felt in London Over the Result of Yes;er,

LONDON, October l6.-Partly owing 10
the diminished interest after so many abor-

over the result OF to-day's race for the

were rather tame. Great crowds had gath

was exhibited, and cheers were frequently

over the result was very keen

WISE IND TACTFUL WTLLIIM.

Emperor William has been making
friends in France lately. M. j. Cor
nelly, writing in the Paris Matin, says
of him: If William IL could hear the
he would feel battered We do him
justice. We have watched him and
know that he can be firm and yielding
as occasion demands. He resembles
the skillful mariner who, while going
ahead full steam is ever alert and
ready to reverse the engines in case of
danger. He takes great pains to tell
us that Germany does not want war;
her prosperity is due to the arts of
peace. After the war of 1870 we used
to console ourselves with the idea that
Germany was poor country, and that
our wealth would soon give us an adj
vantage. That Is no longer true. Ger
many is to-day a rich country; we are
neither in men nor in money superior
to her. But Germany does not intend
to risk her wealth in a destructive
war The emperor's manifestations are
perfect. and should cause us to think.
If neither we nor the Germans want
war, it is time that we should behave
like polite neighbors who me at peace
with each other.
On Thursday of this week Emperor
William unveiled monument to the
dead of the regiment of the First
Guards on the st. Privat battlefield, in
the vicinity of Metz. The Emperor
said: The design of this monument

The value of good roads is at last
finding appreciation in many States
Eleven good roads district conventions
and one Stale convention are to be held
in Illinois in the month of September,
beginning on the fifth. These district
conventions will cover the entire State,
and it is expected that much interest
will be aroused among farmers, so that
when the State convention shall be held
at Springfield on the 23rd there will be
a general representation from every
part of the State.
Illinois farmers have been great los
ers from the terrible condition of their
highways about the time they wished
to market their big harvests While
farmers in those sections where there
were good, hard roads, We're carrying
their grain to market in full loads
hauled by a single team to each
wagon, many of the farmers in the
prairie States were obliged to put four
horses on their wagon and then draw
only half or one-third Of a load. That,
of course, meant a deplorable loss of
time and money. One Of the reasons
why nothing much has been done for
the roads is that good materials for
building are not plenty or easily access
ible in Illinois. Another reason is that
just about the time the farmers We're
beginning to wake up on the subject
the bicyclists began their agitation for
good roads, and the farmers foolishly
got the impression that good roads
were wanted simply to accommodate
the wheelmen, and they didn't want to
go to the expense and trouble of con-
roads just to please a lot of
fellows who wanted to ride around the
country on bicycles.

WONDERFUL.

These are the days of wonderful dis
eoVerles. A Poughkeepsie doctor has
discovered that it is dangerous for chill
dren to eat fruit, tomatoes and water
melons. This declaration followed the
death from nfantie paralysis of a four
year-old child whom he had been called
to attend, The child had eaten water
melon, had then had commissions and
had then died of paralysis
Poor child! Also poor child who can
not get enough fruit, tomatoes and wa
termelons to eat. Many a man who
reads about this new and wonderful
discovery will look with longing back
to the days when he ate cherries till he
could hardly walk and swallowed the
stones besides; when he ate pears by
the peck and apples ditto; and when he
ate watermelon till he was unable to
eat any more. The chief fear a child
has about eating fruit is the fear that
he can't get enough of it, but wide
awake and skillful child will usually
manage to get almost enough. That's
queer doctor who is afraid to let chill
dren eat what children have joyfully
and safely eaten since Cain and Abel
peacefully and pleasantly ate apples to-
gether when they were little boys.

CRIMLN.1LLY AND VERY.

The motorman was "criminally care
less" because he ran his car so fast on
a poor road that the car jumped the
track. The company that provided the
poor road for the motorman to be Grim
inally careless on and then didn't look
sharply after the work done on it was
very negligent" The motorman is go
ing to be tried for manslaughter, as he
evidently ought to be. The Bridgeport
standard thinks that the finding of the
motorman guilty of criminal careless
ness will be criticised. We do not think
that is the part of the finding that will
be criticised.

was beaded by crystal embroidery. The
bodice was tucked below a square black
velvet collar and a cut-out filled with
white tulle, from which draped ruff
file of lace ran to the fan flounce of the
skirt.
A summer hat worth reproduction had
a fiounce of rich Irish crochet lace curry
ing saucer-like about the face. A soft
gray sea gull was set in front. a little
putting of chiffon marking the low
crown and under the lace at one side

buds. Lovely rose pink ribbons tisd in
a big soft bow under the chin. If one
has the lace such a hat is easily made
on the foundation of any narrow brim-
med low crowned soft straw, or on a
wire foundation. Also, the idea may be
copied in Hamburg embroidery, with
lawn for the top of the hat and for
strings baw of lawn taking the place
of the sea gull The bird was the orig
mails least attractive feature.
For late summer wheeling an all

duck skirt of ankle length, white duck
shrtwaist and a soft duck stock, with
white tie, or scarlet ascot If you want
a touch of color. Then have white
stockings, low white rubber-soled shoes
and a rough rider hat either of duck or
white felt, with white and gray quill.
The same idea can be carried out in
linen or crash, only be sure that the
skirt is a double one stitched heavily,
for crash shows through in a dreadful
way when a light is opposed to it.
