,ners awaiting trial and those awaiting the

oners awaiting trial and those awaiting the
execution of the death penalty.
When the day OF execution arrives, all
of the prisoners will be removed from the
north wing and taken into the southern
part Of the building SO that none of them
will be spectators of the execution. AS the
Jail is not full. this exchange can be ac-
comp!ished without difficulty.
On the Scanold.
Several days before the execution, the
rope with which the prisoners are to be
hanged will be removed from the safe In
the deputy warden's Office and carefully ex-
amined to see that there are no flaws in
any of the strands. II will then be creased
and tested with heavy weights before 1t is
placed in position on the scaffoId.
Some hours before the time for execu-
tion, the warden will go to the cell Of the
condemned man and tell him that the
time has arrived when the court has de-
creed that he shall die. He will then read
the death warrant that has been placed in
his hands Immediately and will tell the
prisoner to prepare for death.
At the time set for the execution the
warden will again go to the cell and sum-
mon the prisoners. Their arms will be
bound behind them. By this time, the ju-
ry which has been summoned by the war
den to see that the sentence OF the court
is carried out will be seated at the foot OF
the scaffold on a bench provided for it and
a double line of policemen will be formed
from the door leading into the corridor in
which the prisoners cell is situated across
the rotunda to the door leading down the
steps into the scaffold room.
The rotunda Of the Jail Is generally
crowded with people who gather there out
OF curiosity. These are kept back by the
policeman as the condemned man is
brought forth from the corridor. On each
side of the prisoner walks guard and be-
hind him come bis spiritual advisers. The
warden Of the jail walks a little in ad
vance OF the procession and leads the way
to the scaffold.
E The order Of the procession Is not chang
ed until the entire party have mounted the
steps OF the scaffold and the condemned
man is placed in the center of the trap.
Then his feet are bound tightly together
and he is asked il he has anything to say.
When he has finished speaking. il he de-
sres to say anything, the black cap Is
drawn over his head.
When everything is in readiness the
guards and ministers step back from the
trap and the warden slowly reaches to his
hip pocket and draws out a white handker-
chief by the corner and fiutters II in the
air This is the signal for the hidden exc
cutioner and with one stroke Of anSax the
rope is severed that binds the, trap
The body Of the man is left hanging
for about half an hour when II is exam
ined by the Jail physicians and life is pro-
nOunced extinct The body is then low
cred into q coffin and awaits the dsposi-
tion of the coroner who gives certificate
of death, and the remains are then turned
over to whoever may claim them for
burial

onds, showing the Columbia's gain from
the actual start had been nine minutes
flfty-two seconds. This was a great vic
tory for the Columbia, for both yachts
had covered the distance in steady
breeze, and at no time were they far
enough apart to benefit from puffs of
wind.
RUN FOR HOME.
Columbia's balloon lib topsail was set
Immediately after the spinnaker. and the
head sails were hauled down. She began
her fifteen mile run to the finish at eight
knots an hour. Shamrock's balloon jib
topsail was set soon after rounding the
outer mark, and for q time 1t seemed as
though she was overhauling Columbia.
At the time that appeared to be a rea-
sonable conclusion, 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 Columbia was
not only holding her own, but as figures
showed later she was actually gaining.
The finish line marked by the commit
tee boat at the Sandy Hook lightship was
not visible until the yachts We're within
two miles of it. Then there was a 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
spectacle the finish might be called d poor
one from a picturesque standpoint Both
in time ard distance the yachts were so
far apart that it w2s a rather poor finish
from a spCrtsman's view.
When the Columbia, her great yellow
mainsail broad off to starboard, swept
across the finish line. Shamrock was
scarcely visible astern, only the outlines
of her sails being seen. There was ten
minutes 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 at the finish was:

After the lace, while the yachts were
being lowed back to their mornings, Sir
Thomas LiptOn's steam yacht Erin rang
ed up alongside Columbia. The Erin S
officers and men, led by Sir Thomas Lip
ton, gave three hearty cheers. They
were quickly responded to with three
cheers by the Columhia's men, led b.
Oliver Iselin
A number of yachts fired guns as sa-
lutes to both yachts at the finish. The
flagship Corsair was among them, and
as soon as the American yacht had cross
ed the line Commodore J. Pierpopt Nor
gan ordered American ensigns to be
hoisted at each masthead.
Every steamer saluted with her whistle
and the Shamrock's wecome was quite as
noisy as Columbia's. The yachts and
the excursion fleet soon vanished in the
mist homeward bound.

CHEERS FOR COLUMBIA.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Partly owing to the
diminished interest after so many abor-
tive attempts, and partly to disappoint-
ment over the result of today's race for
the Americas cup, the demonstrations
this evening were rather tame. Crowds
had collected on the Thames embankment
and other places where the progress of
the race was pictured, and cheers were
alternately raised for Columbia and Sir
Thomas Upton, but disappointment at the
result was very keen At the Hotel Cecil.
where a crowd of Americans had col
lected to await the announcement on the
ticker, cheers resounded.
Yankee Doodle" was sung at all the
music halls. When the result was COM
municated to the audiences there was a
general manifestation of disappointment
but this speedily gave place to the heart
lest cheers, and the bands played Amer

BETTING Is LIGHT.
Columbia Is Strongly the Fayorite
for the Series.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE betting to-
night is about 10 to on Columbia for
the series, and some money is being of
fered at to 1. The betting has under
gone curious changes. Before the first
attempt at race the ruling odds were
about 10 to Z. After several flukes, on
account of the good showing Of the
Shamrock even money was offered in
some instances. Today.s race had the eff
feet, however, of making Columbia the
decided favorite, though little money is
being Wagered.
