New York. Oct. 6-This has been a
day of rest OH board the international
racers. The Columbia was towed from
Sandy Hook TO lay Ridge to get her
out OIL any danger from the Northeast
er. The Shamrock remained at her an
chorase at theH Hook, her people willing
to take the chances. The Wind blew up
pretty fresh about 6 o'clock, but there
was nothing to threaten harm to a
yacht so well protected by tenders and
tugs, 10 say nothing of the powerful
Erin.
The feeling on both sides is one of
confidence. Mr.. 1sclin thinks he will
win. Sir Thomas Upton has q nice lit
tie corner in the Erin all ready for the
cup. The public lis in doubt, and il
must be said that there is q feeling of
indecision among expert yachlsmcn
The two days OF drifting have furnish
cd almost nothing on which to base
opinion. rhcy have, however, seemed
to strengthen the belief that the sham
rock is Il thoroughly dangerous prono-
sition. This is now well grounded
opinion, and if the two days of light
airs have done anything they have
shaken that confident feeling that has
prevailed among the hackers of the CO.
lumbia.
Those who have watched most closely
every movement OF the two yachts are
llrm in the belief that there is li.tlc 10

when IT is remembered that the Sham

she was Il drifter. il can readily he

Az 10 o'clock tonight reports were re-

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.
The president, ard several members of
the Cabinct delivered brief addresses
from the staiid. The President SAID IN
part:
This is an era OF patriotism, my
countrymen. The United states mas
never been lacking in gratitude to It's
soldiers and its sailors who have 1ous III
in It's cause, and the cause of the United
States has never lacked defenders In
every crisis OF It's history. From thu
revolutionary days TO the present, the
citizens of the United States have been
ever ready to uphold at any cost the
flag and the honor of the nation, and
then take all the responsibility which
comes from Il righteous cause. There
are responsibilities. born of duty, that
can never be reDudiated. Duty UNI
performed is dshonor. and dishonor
brings shame which is heavier to carry
than any burden which honor can inn
pose"
Secretaries Long. Root and Hay, At
torney General Griggs and Postmaster
General Smith also spoke.
AT OTHER POINTS.

stops We're made-3t Macomb. Canton

occasion. The entire population of
these towns appeared to have turned
out to greet the Chief Magistrate, and
he was invariably Welcomed with
boundless enthusiasm and applause
At NIacomb the President said:
THE PRESIDENT AGAIN.
"AIy Fellow Citizens:
II thank you for this cordial greet
ing and generous welcome. It is a
pleasure for me to look into your faces,
to feel your warm hearts. and to know
that you are Interested III the prosper
ity and honor of the Government of the
United States. These great assem-
blages of the people teach patriotism,
and patriotism is the mighty power
that sustafns the government in peace
and unites us all in war.
The patriot loves his home, his fam
lily. his profession, his farm, his books.
but he has n great love which includes
all these-he loves his country. (Great
applause). No more splendid eXhibi-
ton OF patriotism was ever shown than
was shown 4. few days ago in the dis
tant Philippines (Applause). That gal
liant Tennessee regiment from our
Southern border. that has been absent
from homo and family and friends for
moro than year was embarked on the
good ship Sherman, homeward bound.
When the enemy attacked our forces
remaining near Cebu these magnificent
soldiers discmbarled from their ship
and Joined their comrades on the firing
line and achieved Il glorious triumph
for American arms. Great npplause).
That is an example OF patriotism that
should be an inspiration to duty to all
Of us In every part of our common
country"
