THE PRESIDENTS cur.

Newport. r. l., September 2.-Once
again Boston go lfer has won the great
annual open event at the Newport Golf
club. Last year Gardner q. Hubbard of
Harvard went through the contest sue
cessfully, and today Quincy A. Shaw,
Jr., of the Myopia Hunt club, defeated
Harry b. Rollins Of the Westbrook Hunt
club, and took the much coveted Presi-
dents cup. Shaw's victory, however, was
well earned and better contest has nevsr
been played on the local links, for, when
OF last. ne won by a score of up, the
two players had driven, approached and
putted at 81 holes over twelve thousand
yards Of golfing country.
Shaw outdrove and cutputted his oppo-
nent but Hollins was the better man with
his irons. Such grand work has never be-
fore been shown here, either by profess
sionsl or an amateur and If he could only
have run down his little two and three
yard puts, the victory would have bean
his, beyond doubt.

nal this afternoon publishes q story from
its special correspondent, who has recent
'ly been in North Carolina on the CAM
paign commenced there by the white
people, both Democrats and Republi-
cans, to disfranchise 100000 negro voters
In that state.
The journal says: "North Carolina
has just entered upon one of the most
eventful campaigns In her history. 1t Is
O death struggle between the Angles AK
on and the African. This campaign Is
wagcd on proposed suffrage am end
ment to the constitution submitted to the

Every person OF eligible age, who ap.
plies for registration, for instance, must
be, able to read and write any section OIL
sections of the Federal Constitution.
Under this clause, 100, 900 incompe

be forever barred from the polls.
"But the ignorant white vouers-and
there are perhaps thousands of them-can

that Congressman Reed and his private
secretary, Mr.. Allen. had dined with the
Hon. Henry b. Cleaves, former Governor,
and the Hon. George p. Wescott, the
well known party leader and that mat
tiers had been ''hxed up for delivery
of Cumbsrland's support to MIR. Aliens
congressional candidacy. caused more
talk in Portland than anything else that
has happened since 1t first became known
that Mr.. Reed was to resign.
The Boston Herald correspondent, how
ever, has 1t from the lips of Candidate
Allen that he hasn't dined with the gen.
tlemen named, and that ON the evening
that the dinner is alleged to have taken
place in Portland hotel. Mr. Read was
in railway train en- routa to New York,
here he put in most of this week in pre-
paration for his entrance upon the prac-
tice Of law there.
Mr. Allen further states that Mr.. Reed
Is taking no part whatever in ths con
gressionai contest, and 50 fa- as be

COLUMBIA THE FASTER.
No Doubt of Her Superiority To Old
Defender.

Newport, r. l.. Septembre 2.-The first
of the formal trial races between the CO.
lumbia and the Defender today for the
purpose of selecting yacht to sail
against the Shamrock in the defense of
Americas cup resulted in SO decisive a
victory for the new boat that were 1t not
for the fact that 1t Is desirable to have
her raoe.as much as possible, other con-
tests would seem almost useless. The
yachts sailed one of the regulation fifteen
mile wjndward and leeward courses in an
eight knot breeZe that increased on the
beat out and tiattened at the finish. and
it took the Columbia just six minutes
and 40 seconds less time to cover the dis.
lance than 1t did the Defender.
Nearly everyone seemed fully satisfied
with the result of the race especially the
owners of the new boat for the steel mast,
which was carried through a race for t he
first time, certainly improved her wonder
fully, enabling her to stand straighter
than the Defender, and therefore to out
point l., In fact. the Columbia sailed
all ar0Gnu the old boat and only for the
softeuing of the wind as she neared the
line and the subsequent freshening as her
rival came up to the finish, the difference
between the two boats would have been at
least two, If not three minutes. greater.
