PRIZE FOR BRITISH CREW
  schooner Carrie Lane Safely Anchored After Being Abandoned

Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 13.-A special from Beaufort says the large three masted schooner Carrie Lane, lumber laden, from Apallachcola for Noank, Conn.,, drifted in-shore yesterday. II the recent gale the vessel sprang aleak, her cargo shifted and her masts were cut away by the crew, which finally abandoned her. They were rescued by the British steamer Rhodesia on Sep- tember 26 seventy miles east-southeast of Cape Fear As soon as the schooner drifted in-shore yesterday she was sighted, boarded and safely anchored three miles off Browns Inlet by Cap tan Scott's crew, who were seine fishing on the beach. Only part of the deck load is gone. The cabin is burned; oth- erwise the cargo and hull of the vessel are in good condition. They have wired for a tug and will tow her into the har- bar, the weather being fine. The find is valuable one and the fishing season being the poorest in years, and Captain Scott's crew poor men, it is quite a windfall to them.

Y,SRICE FLUKE.
Crews, Spectators and Committee Ois-
 gustcd-To Try Again To-day.

New York, Oct 13.-A dense fog and the lack of a breeze to-day heightened
 tbo unprecedented record of flukes in
 a cup contest to six. The Columbia
 and the Shamrock did not leave their
 anchorages inside of Sandy Hook. It
 is useless to make another attempt ill such weather So at the hour set for the start the regatta committee boat poked out to sea and announced to the vessels assembled that there would be no race to-day Everybody Is thorough
 ly disgusted. From 10000 people who went out on the first day the crowds have dwindled until less than 5000 per
 sons were afloat to-day. Some of the excursion boats which sold tickets for the series of races were trying to-day to redeem with the intention of aban doning their excursions altogether. The repeated postponements have also worn out the patience of the committee and the owners of the two yachts.
 The delays have been equally trying upon the crews of the two rival yachts For over ten days the tars have been keyed up to racing pitch and they are beginning to feel the effect of the strain Wind is what everybody is praying for. The experts estimate that the big club topsail the Shamrock showed yesterday for the first time contains about eight hundred more square feet of canvas than the similar sail on the Yankee boat. The Shamrock is capable of spreading some twelve hundred square feet of canvas more than the Columbia. This would give the Shamrock an ad- vantage in light winds Another at- tempt will be made to race tomorrow. Although no attempt was made by the captains of the Columbia and the Shamrock to put sail on the yach,s. were ordered on board both yachts everything was got ready to begin work at a moments notice. All hands were ordered on board both yachts soon after breakfast and a sharp watch was kept on the weather. If anything, the fog was thicker than on yesterday and it was with the greatest difficulty that excursion steamers and committee boats found their way to Sandy Hook

THE PARK COMMISSION.
Condition of Sen Wall nt Water Street
 Park Discussed Last Night.

The park commissioners last night held a regular meeting which was de- voted almost entirely to discussion of the bulging out of the sea wall at Wa
 ter street park. This wall is built on
 piles driven thirty feet into the mud. The filling-in behind the wall has push ed the wall out, and this continued steadily until some time ago, when the park commission began having stone dumped against the outer side of the wall. Considerable stone has been dumped there and has stopped the bulging out, so that there is no imne- diate danger of the wall going out fur ther at present. Something permanent, however, must be done to stay the wall, and President Blake of the park com- mission has asked the board of finance to appropriate to the park board $2,O0u next year to pay the necessary expense The board asked for money last year to pay for the work, but the estimates were cut down $2,000. The city engi- neer has estimated that at least $2,00O will be needed to pay for the strength ening of the wall. Wheat means will be adopted to hold the wall has not yet been decided upon. The matter is one for the city engineer to look into. It has been suggested that tie rods be put through the wall and secured back in the ground, while it has also been sug- gested that more stone be dumped on the face of the wall

THE SCHLEY- HOME SCHEME
WOMEN PROMOTERS CALL ON THE
 ADMIRAL.
Willing to Leave Matter i'm Their Hands But Asks Them to Consider It's Desirability-Wou1 Like the Move-
 ment Deferred Until the Winter Is
Ovei'.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Members of the Woman's National Industrial league called upon Admiral Schley to- night and presented the resolutions re- gently adopted by that body calling for subscriptions to purchase a home for the admiral. He expressed his appre- ciation of the motives which actuated the league and his willingness to leave the matter in it's hands, but suggested that before undertaking the scheme it might be well to consider the advsa- bility of beginning such movement at a time when some embarrassment might occur to large and worthy class whose generous motives would prompt them to contribute. While touched by the desires of the committee the ad- miral said he felt that he ought to ask them to defer the matter until the wants and needs of a cold winter now coming on have passed and it's demands on the households of some of the great industrial workers have been met be- fore any provision is made for him. The work of raising subscriptions will be started at once. The plan adopted is to have every contributor give dollar

Philadelphia, Oct. 13-George Dixon of Boston and Tim Callahan of this city fought six fast rounds at Industrial hall here tonight, and if a decision had been given Dixon would have received it. Owing to local law decisions in fistic contests are not given. Dixon was as clever as usual and easily outpointed Callahan, although the latter put up good fight. The blow with which Calla- han could reach Dixon was a straight right-hand counter, but it never did any damage. Dixon did most of the leading throughout the bout.
