Ulster Yacht club replying to a request
by the associated press for an expression
of opinion regarding the contest for the
Americas cup, telegraphed:
~ can only offer my warmest congratu-
lations to the yachting world of America
on the success of their ship"
The Ediuburg Scotsman, commenting
upon the result says:
mo expert explanations or excuses can
alter the broad fact. which impartial men
will recognize, that the Columbia has
proved herself to be the better boat by
winning three races off the reel. American
yacht builders and yachtSmen are enti-
tied to full credit for their success.
1.-The story of the contest seems to show
that. however fine a boat British de-
signers may produce, the Americans can
get one better"
The Glasgow Herald, after congra tu-
lation to American yachtsmen and thank
ing them for the courtesy and good viii
with which the race was conducted, says:
1.-The Shamrock had the chance yester-
day, but failed. Fife followed up the or
der of Watson with the Nalkyre III. He
will bring back many lessons. which will
be turned to good account in the future
The Glasgow Mail says:
1.-The Americans defended the cup fairly
and squarely and Great Britain need not
be ashamed to be called a nation of shop

New York Oct. 21.--Sandy Hook bay,
the scene of SO much Yachting interest
during the past month. is deserted to-
night save for few coasters and fish
ermen lying at anchor. The Emerald
hued yacht Shamrock, about which the
British hopes have been centered and
which has been fairly defeated in her
races for thR Americas cup, was towed
soon after noon. She now lies off the
statue of liberty in the upper bay. ready
to go into the Erie basin tomorrow.
there to be stripped and receive her rig
for her trip back to Glasgow, about a
week hence.
Early in the forenoon the victorious
Columbia was towed to Tompkinsvilie
and at II o'clock she was taken in tow
by the Corsair, the flagship of the New
York Yacht club, and towed up the
East river to New Rochelle, there to be
stripped and laid up in the near fu-
ture.
No victorious yacht ever received
such a demonstration as did the Co.
lumbia, and her consort as she passed
up the harbor. Every boat that had
steam, every vessel that had flag
saluted her from the battery to Har-
lem and to New Rochelle. The tender
st. Michaels, which accompanied the
yachts, also came in for her share of
applause.
Sir Thomas Upton. when seen by an
associated press representative on
board the steam yacht Erin, which an
chored off Tompkinsville, Staten ISL
and, soon after noon to-day, said:
IT hope to remain here for week or
10 days. during which I shall visit Chi
cago. I have not attempted to do any
business since my arrival, having given
all my time to the Shamrock. You may
not believe it, but I have more than
200 unopened letters which simply had
to wait until these races We're over. I
have nothing to say concerning the re-
suit of the races, except that my boat
was not fast enough and that she was
fairly and squarely beaten. The CO.
lumbia is wonderful yacht and have
been more than fairly treated by my
competitors. The Shamrock will be
taken to Erie basin, where her jury rig
will be put on her and We expect she
will be able to sail for the other side.
accompanied by the Erin, in about 10
days"
Sir Thomas was very much impressed
by the cordial manner in which he was
received on board the Corsair yester-
day by Commodore j. p Morgan and by
Mr.. Iselin and his party, who had sailed
on the Columbia
'"They are fine set of men and true
sportsmen," added Sir Thomas.

The rnrt.upnortunitx.

The late Colonel Robert G. Ingersoi1,
the famous skeptic, told many stories
of experiences which grew out of the
common knowledge of his skepticism.
One of these related to a visit which
he once made to Rev. Phillips Brooks
before DIR. Brooks became q bishop.
Calling on DR.. Brooks, he was re-
fused admission because, as the serv-
ant said, it was sermon day." and
some of DR.. Brooks own home people
had already been denied admission.
But DR.. Brooks learned that Ingersoll
was at the door and sent out word that
he should come in.
After the interview. and as Colonel
Ingersoll was about to leave. he said:
DR. Brooks, your man told me that
you had denied yourself to some of
your home people this morning. Now
how is it that you have admitted me,
a stranger"
''Oh. that's quite easy" said DIR.
Brooks. laughing. "They are my
church members, and 1 shall see them
again, here or in heaven, but isn't it
right for me TO consider your belief
and that 1 shall probably never meet
you again"'-Youth's Companion.

NOW COMES TH|SPLAN
Floating Dock Again Suggeste d
for Steamboat
Uses.
TO PROVIDE IT BY SUBSCRIPTION.

City to Own and Control 1t, and River
Traffic to Have the Benefit of 1t on Terms
Mutually Agreeable and Advantageous =
A Citizen Iuterested-Such a Plan Is
Now on Foot.
The city is pretty apt to get an
adjustment of that steamboat accom-
mediation question now" said a citi-
zen, who has become stirred by re-
opening of the discussion, this morn
ing. And from what 1 know" the
speaker continued, 1.-The solution i to
be lad in a floating dock. The plan
mat l am interested in. ard one that
the people will hear from shortly is
that a subscription be taken toward a
fund sufficient to provide the wharf,
and if in the end a small sum is need
ed to complete the cost the council be
asked to appropriate that amount.
Then when it is all raised the whole
to be turned over to the city, which
will be asked to provide the wharf
and own and control it and per-
nit all boats to land at it on terms
mutually agreeable to all interests in
vOlved. NV idea would be to have
such 4 wharf as teams could readily
drive on and off of, one large enough
and so designed as to meet all require
ments of the passenger and freight
interests of the river traffic. There
should be no opposition to his scheme
from any cause or upon any score"
May Furnish the Way Out.
If this plan is carried out it may
prove the happiest ana most advant-
ageors way out of the difficulty the
disposition of which it seems proper
should reach in some manner before
the opening of steamboat navi CATION

A MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.

Racket Early This Morning.

Racket Early This Morning.
Many Rock Island people were
awakened from their slum bers at 4
O'Clock this morning by disturb
ance that is generally supposed to
have been an explosion. Houses
trembled and windows ratified, and
there were fears that old terra firma
had wandered from the straight and
narrow path and had taken to sbak-
ing the dice again. Those who felt
the sensation have not recovered vet
from the attendant nervous shock
and are unable to describe the racket
beyond saying that it sounded as if
cannon had exploded across the
heads of their beds.
w. A. Crubaugh, night clerk at the
Harper house, states he heard the ex-
plosion. 1t came as one terrific belch.
Police Capt. w. A. Giles and other
mem bers of the night force and nu-
merous other citizens also heard it.
Inquiry has failed to develop any
explanation of the disturbance, and
some have gone so far as to express
the opinion that it was due to the
falling in the neighborhood of one of
the belated meteors Of the recently
promised display.
In Davenport the same shake is
reported to have been felt and to have
broken windows in the east
part of town. The cause is traceable
on the Davenport side to blasting on
the ID. OK E. railroad which is un-
der course of construction east of
Davenport.
At any rate, it is agreed that it
sounded like thunder.
