with the Shamrock in the
international Contest.

New York, Oct. 17.-The Columbia
Yesterday won the first of the series of
races with the Shamrock for the inter-
national championship and the Ameri-
cas- cup. In a glorious breeze, over a
windward and leeward course of 80
miles, the Columbia bounded across the
finish line fully mile and a half ahead
of the challenger, defeating her by ten
minutes and fourteen seconds actual
time, or ten minutes and eight seconds
corrected time, after allowing the six
seconds handicap which the Columbia
must concede to the challenger on ac-
count of her longer water line. 1t was
a decisive contest, a magnificent race,
magnificently sailed and magnificently
won.
New York, Oct. 1S.-The Columbia
won the second of the international

STEAMER BURNED.
The Nutmeg State Destroyed In Long
Island sound and Twelve Per-
sons Lose Their Lives.


New York. Oct. 16.-The Bridgeport
line steamer Nutmeg State was burned
in Long Island sound. off Sands point,
L. l.. at sunrise Saturday morning, and
twelve persons were burned to death or
drowned. The dead are: Samuel
Jaynes, baggage master; Nils Nilsen,
Charles Anderson, Patrick Coffee,
Bernard Hendry, Thomas Murphy and
John Connors, members of the crew,
and five unknown passengers.
The burning of the steamer was re-
plete with horror, heroism, brutality
and self-sacrifice. Few if any lives
would have been lost had not swarm
of maddened freight handlers darted
up from the furnace below, decks and
swept women and children into the
water in their mad rush for safety.
These men, great, rough. brawny fell
lows, whose stock in trade was their
strength, spared nobody They fought
their way to the steamers bow, which
was not on fire, and swept into the hud-
died crowd there, pushing many over
the side into the sea. Until their adj
vent the crew had behaved fairly well,
the captains orders were being obeyed
and the boats were being filled with
women and children. But the rush OF
the freight handlers upset all plans.
