New York, July s.-The Evening Post

This morning a statement was au-
thorized that a general consolidation

Chief BRENNAN ISSUES ORDER.
The Lake Is Also Under the
Jurisdiction OF the Police
Department.
Chief BRENNAN ISSUES ORDER.

Today will be the first day Of resur-
rection of the blue laws. Chief of
Police James M. brennan has issued
an order compelling all druggists, pro-
prietors Of cigar counters and dealers
in tobacco in any form, to sell no goods
between II o'clock Saturday night and
Monday morning. In other words, the
smoker must buy by the wholesale
Saturday night or go without on Sun
day, unless he can touch friend.
Chief brennan says that the edict
will be enforced without reserve. He
also announces that the lake will be
under the jurisdiction of the police de-
partment in the matter of stopping
Sunday selling of cigars and tobacco.
Not even a dainty little cigaret can
pass over the counter today.
Main street druggists stagger under
the blow. 1t has been the coin-pro-
ducing feature of their business to be
allowed to sci cigars on Sunday. Many
OF them look upon the order as one
of short life. Others see a picture of
business depression before their eyes.
One Main street druggist covered his
cigar counter with paper at IL O'Clock
last night and removed every cigar
"ad." from sight. One of the show
windows is piled full Of choice brands

New York, July Sat last the big
sloop yachts, Columbia and Defender.
have met in battle royal that has
been satisfactory to all concerned. In
a strong and fairly steady breeze and
smooth water, they sailed over a course
Of about 26 miles today, and in cover
ing that distance the Columbia fairly
and squarely outsailed the Defender by
31n. 1885,, actual time.
/ If Columbia, after measurement, is
found to allow the Defender two min
utes, she will still have beaten her by
I'm. 13s. That means that she can beat
her now over a full 3O-mile course, the
experts say, by at least two minutes,
corrected time, and that when she is
tuned up, say by the September races,
she will easily beat her five minutes,
which is required of her.
Todays race was as fine a smooth
water test as the yacht may ever expect
to get.
Here are the official figures, showing
times of each yacht at all points:

Columbia beats defender minutes IL
seconds actual time.
The only unfortunate part of today's
event was the fact that both yachts
sailed the wrong course. The first leg
OF the course was to be eight miles long
the turning point being off Stamford
Conn. The yachtsnen of the Riverside
club were having race on the Sound
They set their turning mark right on
the course that the Columbia and De-
fender were to sail over, but only four
miles from their starting point.
When, after an exciting iuffing match
Capt. Rhodes saw this mark, he
promptly kept the Defender off and
rounded 1t, and for while no one knew
whether 1t was a real race or not.
c. Oliver Iselin explained matters
when seen at his house, "All View"
after the race, by an Associated Press
representative. He said: "The Defender
made the mistake and we simply fol-
lowed her to make a race. It has turned
out good one. We are very we'll salts
field with 1t. We both made mistake,
but 1t has been the best all around race
we have yet had am satisfied that the
Columbia is the better boat, but she will
go to Bristol and have her sails recut
before she races again"
Not one yachtsman in hundred when
he arose this morning would have pre-
dicted good weather for the race today.
There was little or no wind. Mainsails
had been hoisted, and club topsail
mast-headed, when eight bells struck,
and a few minutes afterwards the
yachts slipped their mornings, and,
breaking out their jibs, they came slip

mile southeast of Flagler's Point just
in nice time to see the preparatory sig
nal hoisted on the committee boat Pull

Half a hundred steam and sailing
yachts, each with it's quota of guests
on board were out there. Black clouds
were then rising to the southland and
the breeze was gaining strength every
minute.
Seven minutes had passed since the
preparatory signal. Both yachts had
set their forestaysails. Defender, on the
port tack, was heading towards Larch-
mont. Columbia was in her wake, a few
lengths away. Another minute passed.
Capt. Rhodes rolled Defenders wheel
hard up. and the sloop swinging smart

the Deed.

New York, July S.-Joseph Mcintyre,
James McMann and James Hannigan,
the boys accused of trying to wreck
the congressional express, on the New

church, retorted: 1.-THE pair o'yez is
no good
The police allege that the other two
connected with the attempt to wreck
the train are R. Schlotzberg, said to be
deserter from the army, and Joseph
Flynn. They are said to have run away
to Philadelphia.

to cross the line. The official start was
Defender 12.40:41; Columbia, 12.40:53. So
the Columbia started twelve seconds
after the Defender.
From the moment of the start it was
a battle royal between the shippers, and
one of the finest exhibitions Of luffing
that have been seen between cup de-
tenders.
The excitement was intense. For FIVE
minutes Barr, by luf1ing, tried to get
out on the Defenders weather quarter.
Rhodes Just as often luffed out him,
! until they were miles out of their
course.
Finally, Barr squared the Columbia
off, and Rhodes followed suit, without
being able to pass his rival. A second
lufting match was then begun, and it
only ended when both yachts found
themselves prevented from luffing any
more by tow Of barges.
With their lee rails well down and
each turning up big bow wave. they
fairly tore along with the wind abeanl,
Defender carrying baby jib topsail
and Columbia one size larger.
No sooner had Defenders bowsprit
passed the tug which was towing the
barges east, than Rhodes gave her
another sharp luff, making it impos-
slble for the Columbia to get on his
| weather.
| Soon after both shippers sighted the
Riverside Yacht clubs mark boat--a
dory anchored in the middle Of the
sound, and without taking their hear
ings they kept off for 1t. The mark was
off Captains island. Its bail, at the
top of pole, did not bear the I.arch-
mont colors, and it was good four
miles west Of the real mark, but
Rhodes sent the Defender straight for

part OF the committee boat, could make
him change his course.
Just before reaching this mark, the
wind shifted from south to east by
south, giving the Defender an even
better chance. She reached the mark
first, and after gybing, luffed around it
at 1.19, the Columbia following 10 SIC
onds later.

fender about for hitch inshore, Barr

Defender, 1862 So here the new
beat was two minutes three seconds in
the lead
1t was nearly three minutes after
the Columbia had rounded the Hemp
stead mark before her spinnaker was
broken out, and soon after the boom
topped lrp and got over the headstays
Defenders was set in less than a min
ute after rounding. 1t was generally
remarked during the race that the De-
lenders sails were handled more
smartly than Columbia's.
Spinnakers came in lively a couple
of minutes before the home mark was
reached. Hauling in mainsheets
smartly, both boats made good gybes
and rounded as follows:

passed.
Away they went for what every one
supposed would be the right mark, but

no idea of losing such a. fine lead as
they had gained, and they simply point
