CHEERS FOR COLUMBIA.
The Defender Given Grand Ovation
Yesterday.

The Defender Given Grand Ovation
Yesterday.
New York, October Ia Not since the
victorious yacht Defender was towsd
home from sandy Hook nghtship after
the final race against Valkyrie ILL.,, has
there been such popular demonstration
as was rendered the Columbia today ON
her way from the lightship to the en-
trance to the Swash channel. In tow of
the tug Wallace z. Flint, the Columbia
took the lead after the ace was declared
of, the Shamrock following halr q mile
astern. The feet of excursion steamers
and fast private yachts closed In on the
racers, dividing themselves upon their
starboard and port sides. The Fall River
liner Plymouth. her upper decks black
with people. caught up with the Y ankse
boat and set liz motion the wave of pa.
triotism that seemed TO have been lacking
sincs the races had been inaugurated. The
band.on the Plymouth, when alongside the
American yacht struck "Hail Column ia "
The refrain was echoed by a thousand
voices on board, amid cheers and shaking
of handksrchiefs and waving of hats.
Mr. and Mrs. Iselin were sitting on
spa rs near the companionway. This out.
burst of good feeling and fellowship must
have warmed their hearts, not to mention
the crew which WAS ranged forward. No
demonstration came from those on board
the Columbia, the tribute being received
in silent qualification.
A parting salute was given from the
whistle Of the Plymouth as she forged
ahead of the tow. Following her came
the excursion stea mer Republic. then the
Glen Island and the Sound steamer Rich
ard Peck. tbs latter's band playing ma
tional airs, while all the people on these
vessels heartily cheered the cup defender.
One Of the moot thrilling incidents of
the day was the collision between the
revenue cutter. Manning and the English
yacht "Whyte Ladye," which occurred In
full sight of the excursion fleet within
few minutes after the gun was fired
from the committee boat announcing no
race. The English boat was lying at the
extreme outer edge OF the feet and ap-
parently mad no Roadway. The Manning
which was streaming slowly to the east
ward, attempted to cross the bow Of the
Whyte Ladys and had almost accom-
plished that purpose when those on the
adjacent steamers heard crash followed
by the miss of splintsring wood as the
nose Of the yacht raked the port side of
the cruiser from midships to stern, tear
Ing boat from the after dayits nj the
revenue boat and swapping of the bow
spirit of the yacht close up to the bow. : 1t
all happened In full view of the people
on the Erin who set up great shout of
CONSERVATION as they recalled their own
experience of the early morning In the
fog off Castle Willism. A launch was at
once put off from the Erin TO render as
sistance If necessary, but none was re-

latter's parents at Saluda. They
intended leaving for Jefferson the

Mary Angelina, aged about 81
months, took sick and they re
manned over the guests of Mrs.
Lou Plyler. Every attention was

recalls the fact that two years

were returning home from a visit
to SaIuda, they lost their then
youngest child, it dying in its
mothers arms about two miles
this side of Tradesyille. The
fond parents have the deepest

for "Pitcher's Castoria." MIR
Cherry told his little daughter to
hand him the bottle of Castoria
from the nantel and he measured
out a teaspoonful. He noticed
that the child made terrible
face after drinking the dose,
something he had never seen him
do before, for he had always
smiled after taking Castoria, so
he had the bottle handed back to
him and discovered that he had
given the child laudamun instead
OF Castoria-his little daughter
having given him the wrong bot.
tie by mistake. DR.. Poovey, who
lives across the street, was sum-
