Columbia Wins Again

New York, Oct. 1.-The Columbia won
the second race today, although it did not
prove such a BOAT race as the contest of
yesterday. The boats were off in almost
as good order as the day before and q
good breeze promised an interesting en-
test. When the boats left the starting
line everything was close and both boats
did the same jockeying for a windward
position. When forty minutes out and
the Columbia in the lead, a spare on the
Shamrock broke, which SO badly dis
abled the challenger that she was never
i'll the race from that time.
Although the British sailors re-riggel
the craft the handicap proved too much
to ever make up the loss in time. The
Columbia finished the race winning ',y
forty minutes.
By conditions drawn up before the race
it was specified that in case of a mishap
while in a race the damage to the injured
yacht should not call the race off. By this
ruling the Columbia wins the second
race.

Stewart and jackson II. Ralstop, at
torneys for the De Lamar, New, Gold

preme Court their brief in the case Of
their clients against James Nesbit.

title in himself and his ~cO-tenants to
the Fraction mine and mining claim
and also that the defendant was not en-
titled to United States patent to the

Prevention of Cruelty

There is talk among the humane peo-
pie of this city, especially the ladies, of
organizing a society for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals. AT the present
time there seems no one who can file a
complaint that will receive recogni ion
and the people interested in good treat
ment to mans best friends intend to err
ganize in order to be in position to take
up all matters that call for assistance in
this line.
No later than yesterday a drunken
scalawag drove into this city with a good
horse which was ringing with sweat and
tied the animal in front of a saloon in
the cold wind. The man loaded up to
the gunnels and falling into his buggy
proceeded to whip the animal up the
street. 1t is hoped the society will be in
working order by the time this indivld-
ual tries this game again.
