rules the first race is now postponed for
two days or until Thursday.
The day promised well at first. The
sky was smrched with few dirty
clouds, but clear enough so that the thou
sands of spectators who lined the Jersey
shore could see almost every foot of the
course. The waves were crested with
whtecaps here and there. and n fairly
fresh breeze blew out of the north north
east, but after the American defender
Columbia and the challenger Shamrock
had crossed the line the wind turned
huky and variable, and the race was

fuke gave the yachting sharps and the
spectators much to think about and some
surprises.
The Columbia is undeniably the pret-
tier boat. She is tall. stately, with grace
full lines and towering mast. The Irish
boat, with her broader beam and longer
base line, looked slower and heavier. Per-
haps her green color makes her look clum-

Tended against the world.

THE VENEZUELA AWARD.
The Long Standing Dispute Settled
by Arbitration,

PARIS, Oct. 4.-The Venezuelan award
unanimously gives Venezuela the mouth
of the Orinoco.
The courts decision fixes the Venezu-
elan boundary line as n straight line from
Point Playa to the river Barimas at its
junction with the river Mururuma and
thence along midstream to the junction
sf the rivers Howa and Amakuru.
The decision displaces Great Britain
ten miles back from the mouth of the
Orinoco, and thus gives the victory to
Venezuela on her chief point of conten-
ton. The territory accorded to Venezu-
ella aggregates 10000 square miles.
Great Britain is accorded equality in
navigating the rivers and is given some
other advantages as partial compensa
ton.
All the trouble has been caused by
disagreement as to where Venezuela left
off and British Guiana began. The terri
tory in dispute includes Il number of val.
liable gold mines, in which British capital

billy Mason Tales.

The latest story about Senator Billy
Mason concerns the energetic Senator
Chandler of the Granite State. Long
ago the arge-hearted Illinois lawmaker
had friend whom he has, in recent
years. loet sight Of The friend lived
for a time in Illinois, and later tried
his fortunes farther West, in the State
of Colorado. There ne participated in
Republican politics, won the esteem on
his fellow-workers, and early in the
present session of congress was named
by Major Mckinley as Postmaster of
his town. He had been here more than
a week before the session, attempting
to secure the appointment, and, being
a poor man, was running very low in
purse before his name reached the Sem
ate. Then there was a long wait for
confirmation, and he was on the verge
of despair. Thus runs the preface in
the Washington Post.
At last he came across the friend of
his boyhood, Senator Mason, and to
him he poured out the story of his
trials. He had purchased round-trip
railroad ticket, the limit of which had
nearly expired, and his nomination was
still buried with heap of similar other
papers, and little chance of being
reached
Just stay here for a minute" said
Senator Mason, after listening patiently
to his story. The meeting was in the

tion confirmed then and there.

Senator Mason to Senator Chandler a
few minutes later, but you didn't al
