Where 1t Stopped.


Where 1t Stopped.
New York, Oct. 9.-FolIowing is the
official time of the race Saturday be-
tween the Columbia and Shamrock,
when it was called off after sailing
twenty-five miles of the thirty in the
course: Start-Columbia, 11:21:O2;
Shamrock, 11:21:19 Finish-Colum-
bia, 4:31 100; Shamrock 4 81 10. Elapsed
time-Columbia, 5:09:5S; Shamrock,
5:09:51. Corrected time-COlumbia,
5:09:5S; Shamrock, 5:09:46 According
to this Shamrock would have wen by
seven seconds actual time and by
twelve seconds corrected time, suppos-
ing, of course, that the Columbia al
lowed her five seconds for twenty-five
miles, instead of the six seconds al
lowed for thirty miles.
After three trials the experts are
about as much mystifieG as they were
at the beginning concerning the merits
of the two boats. Nothing but a spank
ing WHOLESALE breeze will furnish a
true test Saturday, as on the two pre-
viOus days, the course was laid fifteen
miles dead before the wind and return.
So evenly matched were the racers
that they rounded the outer mark al
most neck and neck and finished after
a three-hOur thresh to WindWard with
the Columbia's nose half a length in
front and in the weather position but
SO close to the Shamrock that the
shadow of the ShamrOck's sails was
silhouetted against the Yankees canvas.
After Thursday next it has been agreed
to sail every day

Uniform Milking.

Cows are very sensitive to sudden
changes. It is a mistake to change
mixers if it can be avoided. Each
mixer has a magnetism peculiar to
himself. The cow knows as quickly as
a strange hand takes hold Of ser teats
that the accustomed mixer is not pres
emit and will hold up her milk. Quite
often she will not allow strange milk
er to approach her. Where the persons
who do the milking are changed often
it is impossible to keep up the flow of
milk that the cow should be able to
give-Boston Cultivator.

One OF Mark Twain's Early Jokes.

The late TimoIhy d. Croker, who
was always dignihed, self-possessed
and somewhat arrogant in appearance
was once neatly taken down. by
Mark Twain. 1t happened n . ly
thirty years ago, when Mr.. Croker
was president of lecture course as
ISOLATION, and on the list of enter
tainers was Mark Twain.
II was the custom for the president
to introduce the speakers, and then
to announce the programme for tho
next entertainment in the course. On
this particular evening Mr., Croker
and Mark came upon the platform
and took their seats before hall full
Of people. Twain waited for his op,
portunity and stole a march on the
dignified president by stepping to tho
front Of the platform and saying:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next
lecture in the course will be delivered
two weeks from tonight by Blankety
Blank. have the great pleasure tina
evening of introducing to you Mark
Twain"
Then Mark paused moment before
he addets

Mr.. Croker, rather embarrassed,
was still sitting back in his chair,
And it can be imagined that the au.
dience enjoyed the joke much better
than he did.
