DEFENDER DEFE4TED IG4IN.
Columbia Outsails the Old Bont by II
Wide Marafn,

Newport, r. l., Sept. An to-day
race, the second and last of the official
trial races for the settlement of a de-
fender of the Americas cup, the CO.
lumbia again demonstrated that she is
the peer of the Defender, the 1895
champion, by defeating her ten minutes
and seven seconds, over a triangular
course in an eight knot breeze and a
smooth sea. The contest was process
sion throughout with the Columbia
leading at the start by thirteen seconds
and gaining on every leg Of the course.
The first leg was a reach from the
starting line at Bretons Reef lightship,
southeast one-half east of a flag mark,
distance of ten miles and from the
moment from Columbia crossed the
line she steadily sailed away from her
rival going round the first mark three
minutes and 36 seconds ahead The
second leg was also a reach a little
broader than the first. Defender lost in
this stretch. The third leg of the tri-
angle was almost dead beat to the fin
ish, the two boats making a long hitch
clear up to the Narragansett shore
There will be no more official races,
that of to-day settling conclusively in
the minds of the committee that the
Columbia is the faster boat There is
not the slightest doubt but that the Co.
lumbia will be the craft chosen to meet
the Brtisher, for she has shown over
since her maiden trip down Narrangan-
sett bay last June, that she is faster
boat than the staunch and speedy De
fender. In Saturdays race the Co.
lumbia made a good gain on the De-
fender, running down the wind, with
spinnakers and ballooners set, despite
the fact that the Defender had the
breeze longer than her rival, while in
the windward work that day the Co.
lumba made minutes over her rival.
To-day the boats were tests with
sheets lifted and at this kind of sailing,
the Columbia proved that she is Won
der So satisfying the public at all
points of sailing in moderate breezes,
the committee did not deem it advisable
to hold any more races. What all the
yachtsmen would like to see is con-
test between the boats when they car
ry only their lower sails. On the run of
the New York Yacht club to Vineyard
Haven during the recent cruise in a
half gale the Defender pra cticaly de-
feated Columbia. There will race be-
tween the Columbia and Defender to-
day for cup offered by William Cod

in-law. The contest will be over a

Gets Place in Two of the Races in
Waterbury.

Waterbury, Sept. 4.-The feature Of
the bicycle races at Athletic field this
afternoon under the auspices of the
Waterbury Wheel club was the appear
ance of Ludwig of Chicopee who made
his first appearance at N. C. A. meet
this year. The time in the different
events might have been better with less
wind, but, nevertheless, the sport was
excellent. The most interesting event
was the Australian pursuit race, in
which there were eight starters and
Ludwig ran the last man off the track
after covering 6 10 miles in 14,57. 1t
was demonstrated this afternoon that
night meets are more successful in this
city The finishes in the different
heats were close and exciting. e. G.
Colett, brother of George Collett, was
third in 2:4O class racee and in the two
thirds miles open. Ludwig was first
and Sparadowski second in each event.

The Beers have the fullest confidence
in their magazine rifle and their skill in
craftsmanship State Attorney Smuts,

Thirty thousand men in the Transyaal
and 10000 in the Orange Free State will
take the field.

ty has an entirely different mission.
saving the Platform OF 1896. 4.
Here in this great state of New
York you have formed an organization
for the same purpose. And let me say
that no man ever embarked in nobler
work. Recent events have indicated
that the people are standing firm
throughout the land and very recent
events indicate that some of the poll
ticians have noticed this fact and are
preparing to accept the situation.
Whether the conspiracy to overthrow
the Chicago platform will be aban-
doned, or whether it will so on, dc
not know; but, my friends, we must
take no chances. The people of
America are with us and they are in
earnest, and we must see to it that
they are not betrayed. We welcome
all men to our ranks who believe in
the great mission of the democratic
party and who are ready to help it
carry out that mission. And, on the
other hand. we say to all men who do
not believe in the mission of the
party, who are not willing to help es-
tablish the mighty reforms for which

is not in the democratic party and the
manly thing for you to do is to seek
these councils and that party that are
in harmony with your idea. We look
not to the past We harbor no malice
Our face Is toward the sun, we are
holding out uor hands. If you love
your country, then come with us.
Let me now say in conclusion that
our skies are Frightening. We have
not lost single devotee, while all
over the land men are rallying to our
standards who fought us in SO and
who are now determined to overthrow
the iniquity they helped to create.
They are weary of duplicity in the
White house, they see that the re-
public is being destroyed and they
look with hope to the Jefferson of Ne
braska. We live in momentous times;
the aeg is pregnant with mighty issues.
Let us stand firm, let us rise to the
occasion and great will be the joy of an
people.
