Clubs Cruise Brings Out
the Big Racer.

BATEMAN's POINT, R. T., Aug. IS,
1899 last race of the New York
Yacht Club cruise. today, off Brentons
Reef Lightship, for the Wind-up cups
offered by Commodore Morgan, did not
prove quite as attractive as yesterdays S
Astor cup event or the squadron runs of
last week
This was attributed to surfeit Of
racing. Still there were dozen or more
entries for today's event. with Columbia
and Defender as the chief attraction, al
though considerable interest in the
Amorlta-Quisetta contest was felt. In adj
dition to their race for the wind-up cup,
they had to decide a tie for the Vice
Commodore's cup, given for schooners
winning the most squadron runs.
Commodore Morgan also had offered
cup for 30-footers belonging to members
of the club.
Nearly all these yachts are now In New
port and half dozen OF them came out
this morning to take part In the race
The course today as laid out by the
committee was short one of 21 miles,
triangular. seven miles to a leg. The
starting point was from Brentons Reef
Lightship with the WhistHng Buoy at
Point Judith as one mark and another
anchored seven miles east southeast of
that point, and south by east of the
lightship.
The yachts entered for todays race in
cluded the following. SIoops. Columbia,
Defender, Gloriana, Syce, Hussar, Kat
onah, Petrol, Mira and Sayonara;
ehooners-Amorita, Quisetta, ConstelIa-
tion Marguerite. Uncas and Hildegarde.
The boats were slow in getting out
Columbia. as usual, came down first. The
flagship Corsair reached the starting line
about half past ten, followed by all the
racers.
When the course signal was hoisted it
was seen that the yachts would go to
Point Judith first. The wind at that time
was a little east of North, blowing about
the boats a run before it to the Point.
a reach to the outer mark and another
reach to the finish.
The starting gun for schooners was
fired at 11:15, with the Amorita and Quis-
eta right on the line From this point it
looked as if Quisetta had the better of
the start
The starting signal for the big sloops
was fired at 1875. Both were close to-
gether, very near the line From this
point 1t looked as if Defender crossed
first. but Columbia was on her weather
quarter and minute after the start went
by her to windward. The wind was about
east blowing about six knots.
Columbia rounded the first mark at
gain for Columbia in the seven mile
run of three minutes 81 seconds.

RENNEs. France, Aug. IS, 1899 -Maitre
Labori, counsel for Captain Alfred Drey-
fus, who was shot from ambush here
yesterday, while on his way from his resi-
dence to attend the court-martial. after
night of terrible agony is somewhat bet
ter this morning. The attending doctors,
however. are still unable to sound the
wound.
M. Labori's assailant has not yet been
arrested.
M. Labori is now going on SO well that
the doctors consider him out of danger.
He lies on his back, unable to move. but
life is returning to the leg which was
thought, yesterday, to be paralyzed. He
has no fever and continues to discuss the
trial His wife has remained at his bed
side practically ever since he was wound
ed. Naturally she is much relieved at the
hope to see the distinguished lawyer on
his feet before the trial is ended
The correspondent Of The Associated
Press here obtained today complete corr
roboration of the statement, exclusively
cab1ed to The Associated Press yesterday,
that the pockets of Labori's coat were
rifled yesterday while he was lying on the
ground. Not only we're the pockets Of
his coat emptied. but an attempt to steal
the wallet in which were important
papers referring to the Court martial, in
GLIDING his notes for the cross-examina-
ton of General Mercier. NJ. Labori has
himself related. the incident. He had just
fallen and saw one of two men run to his
side. One of these said
His coat must be taken off. He will be
too hot.''
The speaker then took the wounded
lawyers coat off and another man seized
the wallet NJ Labori. however, retained
his presence of mind and refused to allow
the wallet to be taken out of his hands,
putting it under his head for pillow and
holding 1t with one hand. The coat was
shortly afterwards put on again. On ar
irving at his residence M. Labori asked
his wife to look in his pockets and see if
their contents were safe. Nine. Labori
found the pockets completely emptied.
Luckily no papers of Importance were in
the pockets, which only contained per-
sonaI letters, including menacing letters
received on the previous day The rifiing
Of the lawyers pockets of the papers and
the attempt to steal his wallet while no
effort was made to appropriate his watch
or money, are regarded as clear evidence
of a plot in which several men were im-
plfcated
The man who actually fired the shot, it
appears, was only one part of the ma
chinery of the conspirators, In spite of
the extensive search for the would-be
assassin he is still at large and the inn
preston Is gaining ground that he is
being aided by the anti-Dreyfus country
