c. Waterman finished her TOO mile bicycle
run at O'Clock this morning at Valley
Stream, l.. I. The distance was covered in
81 hours and minutes, during which she
slept 1 hour and 45 minutes At the con-
clusion of the task Miss Waterman was in
good physical condition, but so sleepy that
she could make only an illegible scrawl on
the register when she tried to sign her
name to complete the record of her achieve
ment. She was given a warm bath and an
alcohol rub and put to bed. The best pre-
vous record of continuous riding by a wo-
man was made by Mrs. Lindsey of Brook
Ign, who rode 800 miles consecutively.
Miss Waterman completed 600 miles of her
ride over triangular road course in Long
Island at u minutes past 3 o clock yesterday

established by the only other woman who
had ever ridden so far in a continuous
journey by nearly three hours and one-half.
Instead of hating then she completed the
circuit of the triangle, and with a cavalcade
of pacemakerS and escorts around her drew
up at her headquarters in Valley Stream at
10 minutes of , o'clock, having d total of
Go miles to her credit. Jumping nimby
from her wheel and evading the questions
of intervewers, the record rider bounced
like a sprightly school girl into hotel,
where a group of friends awaiting her.
Here she chatted gibly for half an hour,
told how easy 1t is to ride sextupie CEN
fury when one is in condition for It, and
Incidentally consumed quart of ice cream
Then, with only the rest obtained by sitting
upright in a hardwood chair and without
even having refreshed herself by bathing
her face and hands. this wonderful little
woman was away with skip and jump
to complete her seventh century.
At . o'clock last night slight shower Of
rain fell. but this did not deter Miss Yate-
man. At % minutes of 10 o'clock she took
a short rest at Valley Stream. having then
completed G55 miles. At a few minutes
past 10 o'clock she was again speeding on
her journey and hoped to complete her sew
enth century between and o'clock in the
morning.

YACHTING.
Work of the Big Single Stickers OF
Snndy Hook and Newport.


Sandy Hook and Newport.
Starting at II AZ yesterday from Scotland
lghtshp, off Sandy Hook, the Shamrock
sailed over a triangular course ten miles
each to the first and second legs and AZ
miles to the third leg. a course of about
251a miles, allowing for windward work, in
3 hours and minutes
The wind was light, from east-southeast,
varying from to II miles an hour during
the trial. At 12:45 the yacht was off sea-
bright on the starboard tack, carrying
mainsail, jib, staysail and club topsail.
The Shamrock rounded the outer mark,
laid down by the tug Lawrence at 10,
and then, with sheets eased to port she
made fast time to the finish, changing her
club topsail to one size larger on the way
in. Two minutes after rounding the mark
the head sails were taken in and a big
balloon jib topsail was set which made
considerable difference in her speed. 1t
was estimated that the yacht travelled dur
ing the trip at an average of nine knots an
hour.
Defender and Columbia, after an interest
ing set-to yesterday off Newport and down
the bay, returned to Bristol last night.
Early yesterday morning Columbia went
out on another sail-stretching trip. Short
ly before 8 O'Clock her new mainsail was
raised, new topsail set and headsails set
up in stops. Then she was boarded by
AIessrs. Iselin. Leeds and Kane. and few
minutes after o'clock tripped anchor and
started out of the harbor.
When a short distance out her head
sails were broken out and she made fast
time toward Newport in a fairly strong
breeze. The new sails appeared to draw
well, catching every breath of air and get,
ting all the speed possible out of it, De-
fender joined her an hour after leaving
Bristol and the two champions had lively
crush They came up the bay about noon.
Later they went down below Hogs Island
and had another trial. chiefly in fine maneu-
vering. then returned to the harbor. De-
fender leading the way. Today the last
touches will be put on the new mainsail.

Differences Arise Between Local Con-
tractors ind Their Suretfes.
It is reumored at the District building
that trouble has arisen between Messrs.
Daggett & Dugan, who are under con-
tract with the District to clean the
streets and avenues by the hand sys-
tenn during the present fiscal year, and
their surety, the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany of Maryland!' 1ttds stated that rep
resentative of thS Maryland company has
called upon the District authorities and in
quired whether, in THE event of the con-
tractors failing Of Refusing to continue the
work, it would be done by the District for
the company. III
Messrs. Daggett& Dugan are not only the
contractors unders the hand-cleaning sys-
TEN, but they have also been awarded the
contract for cleah fng the improved alleys.
For cleaning the streets and avenues they
receive 2lA centsl pefi LOCO square yards.
and for cleanin9ntteB improved alleys 81
cents per 1000 square yards. 1t will be re-
called that they We're required by the Com
missioners severa4fweeks ago to show cause
why the contracta With them for cleaning
the streets and avenues should not be can
ceied. They promised then to do better
work. and Mr. Warner Stutler, the super
tntendent Of the street cleaning depart
ment. states that they have since then done
this work in very satisfactory manner.
According to the rumor prevalent at the
District building this afternoon. the con-
tractors have failed to keep an agreement
with their surety. the Maryland company,
and in view of the inquiry of the company s
representative it is supposed the contrac-
tors have intimated that they propose re-
linquishing the contract. 1t is stated that
the contractors have said that they have
been losing money on the contract for
cleaning the streets and avenues by hand,
although Mr.. Stutler showed by reports to
the Commissioners that last year the Dis
trict cleaned these thoroughfares by hand
for about Is cents per 1000 square yards.

WAVE POWER PLANT.
Contract Signed for Machinery
which Will Harness the Wave
Force of the Ocean

A contract has been signed for $780,
600 plant to furnish 1000 horsepower
to be developed from the waves of the
ocean, the first of the kind ever made.
This power is for million-dollar sani-
tarium to be built at Seagate, ad joining
Coney Island.
This power is to be converted into
electricity, which will do all the work,
heating, lighting, operating carriages
and steamboats,. Even the cooking will
be done by electricity.
The contract shows that machinery
has at last been desi led which can bot
tie up the energy On the sea and make
it work. This device takes no account
Of the rise and fall of tides, but it does
make use of the wave motion.
The principle is like that Of a toy pop
gun. The cylinder is placed vertically.
The piston is made to rise and fall by
the waves. 1t is really nothing more
than buoy. When wave comes along
it Is bound to rise, and when the wave
passes it falls. Every time it rises it
congresses so much air.

General REORGANIZATION Has Bees
Completed - More and
Faster Traias.

The general reorganization of
through mail facilities. which has been
under consideration some months by
the post Office department, has been
completed. and the new schedules will
60 into effect at once. Some 1850 miles
of road are affected by the change. and
the result is substantial saving of
time in the transit of mails for all parts
of the country.
Between Chicago and New York TIE
time Is reduced an hour and quarter.
The fast mail. leaving Chicago at 1905
a. m. will reach New York at four in
stead of 5:15 a. m. insuring delivery by
the first carriers for the city, including
the borough of Brooklyn and vicinity.
Closer connections will also be assured
for lower New England by way of the
Shore line route. Al Albany the train
will connect with the midnight mail for
Boston. thereby looping off half an
hour in the time TO the latter city. and
connecting there with the early morn
ing trains for New England.
a fast mail train whl be put in service
by the Pennsylvania road. leaving Chi
cago at 2:45 a. m. arriving in Pitts
buTgh to meet the fast mail dispatched
from st. Louis at Sis p. m, and to-
gether reaching New York at four a. m.
This mail will reach Washington at the
same hour, and will by connecting with
early southern trains. expedite north

ate points
Additional service between New York
and St. Louis has been secured by at
taching mail cars to the fast train leav-
ing New York at two p. m, and reaching
st. Louis at 7:l5 the following evening.
One of the most important results of the
reorganization is the doubling of the
