INJURY. Plus insult
Wind Refuses to Blow, as on
Six Previous DAYS.
THEN WHEN IT'S ALL OFF
1t Whoops Up Half a Gale for
the Rest of the Day.
THEN WHEN IT'S ALL OFF

New York, Oct 1.-THE Columbia and
the Shamrock got as far as the starting
line today but did not cross it. There was
not enough wind to blow out the signal
flags when the time came to send them
away and after waiting an hour in the
hope that a breeze might spring up from
somewhere the committee boat hoisted
the now familiar blue flag, crossed by
white bar, denoting that the race was
off for the day. The usual fleet of ex-
cursion boats, yachts and tugs was on
hand to witness the melancholy announce
ment. After the yachts had returned to
their anchorage inside the Horseshe and
the tail of the excursion feet had dis
appeared through the Narrows, a good
strong breeze blew in from the sea and
held throughout the afternoon. With such
a wind the boats could have covered the
course in four hours. The yachts will
try again Monday, but the old barnacles
are now saying that unless storm comes
along to stir up the stagnant atmosphere
there is not chance of change in the
weather conditions until the moon chang
es Monday.
The Shamrock with her sail up, left her
mornings in tow Of tug at $50 q. m,
the Columbia following at 9 o'clock. Both
arrived at the lightship about 10 O'Clock.
They sent up club topsails, the Sham
rock setting her largest one with alumni
mum spars, the Columbia hosting the
same one she had set on Friday Jibs
and staysaiIs were sent up in stops on
the stays but they never broken out.
what little sailing the yachts did about
the 1ightship being done under mainsail
and club topsail only. The same persons
were on board the yachts as on the pre-
vious days.
The yachts returned to Their moorings
at half-past one. The Shamrock's crew
swung the main boom off to starboard,
and eleven men climbed out on its end
and sat there to give the yacht heel
while several of the crew scrubbed off
one Of the plates on the. port side below
the waterline. This operation was re-
peated, the boom being swung to port
and the men cleaning the starboard side.
1t was reported after the race that
there has been talk of docking both
yachts early on Sunday morning, but the
Tumor was not confirmed. The fact that
Captain Charles Barr, of the Columbia,
obtained leave from Mr. Iselin to go to
the city to meet his wife, who arrived
today from England by the steamer st.
Paul, and to remain in town until Mon
day morning, is pretty good evidence that
the Columbia will not be locked.
Charles Robley D. Evans, visited the
Erin this morning and Fighting Bob
and Lord Charles Bereford shook hands.
Notice was issued today by the local
board of steamboat inspectors that the
license of Captain Thompson, master Of
the steamboat Glen Island, had been re-
voked He is charged With being in COM
mand Of the steamers that interfered
with the yacht races early in the series.
Charges similar to those against Thomp-
son are pending against masters of the
steamboat Idlewild and Aurus and the
steam yachts Cores and Chetolah.

GOT TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
Train Robbery in Illinois Was an
Extraordinary Affair.


Chicago, Oct 14.-It is estimated that
the robbers who held up train No. 3. on
the Northwestern railway, near DeKalb.
ILL.,. last night. secured $4,000 Following
is the official report of the robbery re-
ceived at the Northwestern dispatcher's
office: Three or four men. masked and
heavily armed, came TO the office at
Tower W., a block station located half
way between Elburn and Maple Park.
They told the operator to hold up his
hands. This was about 1850 p m. He
thought they were fooling, but they then
tied him down with a buckskin. There
was a train coming, and the operator
told the men it was fourth 49, and the
men cleared the block. But when No.
was approaching close the men saw it
was that train and dropped the train or
der signal, stopping the train. Immedi-
ately they blew open the safe in the
American express car, looted its contents.
then cut off the engine and run to point
two miles west of Maple Park and es-
capped. The express train was badly dam

Three suspects were arrested at day.
break and taken to the South Elmhurst
station. The men were caught in a
freight car, but the police were not at all
confident that they had the right ment.
A bundle of bills aggregating 5000 was
recovered by attaches of the express com
pany. 1t had been blown through the
bottom of the car and was found imbed-
ded in the earth between the railroad
ties. The bills were so badly mutilated
that they will have to be exchanged for
new notes. 1t is believed by the railroad
people that the booty secured by the rob-
bers was rendered worthless by the heavy
charge of dynamite used to blow open
the safe. The express company officials
declare that the first reports of the
amount obtained by the robbers were
greatly exaggerated and claim it was
considerably less than $4,000.
