THE YACHTS.

AS stated in the Gazette of that date,
the Columbia yesterday won the third
international yacht race with the
Shamrock for the challenge cup, thus
bringing the races to close. Although
there were but two actual races, the
Columbia conclusively demonstrated
her superiority and proved that she
could have won five as easily as three.
For the eleventh time the attempt of
foreigner to wrest from America the
yachting supremacy of the world has
failed. The trophy won by the old
schooner An erica forty-eight years ago
will still remain in this country. The
intrinsic value of the reward which
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been expended to secure is small-sim-
ply an antjquated piece of silverware,
which Queen Victoria offered to the
best sailing ship in the world in the
early days of her reign. To Sir Thomas
Upton, whose name is now added to
the list of defeated aspirants Tor the
honor of carrying the cup back across
the Atlantic, failure was crushing
nlow. His hope had been high. But,
like the true sportsman that he is, the
sting of defeat has left no bitterness,
and, with nndaunted coursge, he init
mates that he may be back with bet
ter boat to try again. During his stay
Sir Thomas has made himself more
popular than any previous challenger.
Sir Thomas yesterday acknowledged
that the Columbia was the better boat
long before the race was finished. He
said that she had beaten the Shamrock
10 weather just suited to his yacht, and
be was one OF the first on the Erin TO
admit the defeat of the challenger. He
said that he was pleased that there had
been a good breeze for the last contest,
because it preciuded the possibility Of
any excuse for the Shamrock. He paid
graceful compliments to the Colum bia,
her owner and designer, and declared
that be had received the best and fair
est treatment that could have been &C.
corded. As soon as the Columbia had
crossed the finishing line Sir Thomas
ordered that the Stars and Stripes
should be run to the masthead, and
then when the Erin ran alongside the
victorious yacht be called for "three
British cheers" for her. These were
given and were heartily responded to
by the crew of the Columbia.

as Upton a handsome loving cup, the
gift of the whole American people, has

In THE battle of Glenco yesterday,
where the Eoglish are reported to have
gained great victory, the chief credit
of that victory is attributed to the Irish
Fusilleers, and yet Mr.. Michael Davitt,
in the British Parliament last night
characterized the war upon the Beers as
'hideous and damnable massacre, "
and Mr.. William Redmond and othe-
Irish leaders in that body also de-
nounced the war and opposed the bill
making an appropriation for its prose,
cution. Indeed, it seems that the Irish
will fight gallau,ly Tor any cause except
for that of their own country. In the
war between the States, here, the most
efficient soldiers the Confederate5 had
to fight, were the Irish regiments and
brigades from the North

was made for the repairs. Under this
appropriation piers Nos. 2, 3, 5, 6. Z, aud
were repaired by means of Portland
cement concrete in bags, placed by a
diver, and hp repair per No. 4, was
made by means o! cofferdam within
which new masonry wa5 laid 10 large
eroded c.viiy at the upstream end OF

August, 1895
"As The work Of repairs proceeded
it Was found that the old masonry
OF the pier, which was built about
1888, had not been started from solid
rock. ard that part of it was of
poor quality. There was also q
crack in the masonry extending nearly
throughout the entire height Of the
pier. 1t was decided that it would be
necessary before long to remove the de-
fective masonry in .he remainder of the
pier al, d replsce it by masonry of
proper quality founded on the solid
rock. Tie existing appropriation
was insufficient Tor this purpose, and
it was therefore necessary to ask 8
further approx ration. As the Golfer
dam would be needed for the pro-
posed work. it was purchased from the
contractors upon completion by them
of their work in 1895.
The unexDended balance of the ap
preparation, amounting to 1880 30,
was covered in tbs Treasury.
"a full report and estimate Of the
cost OF removing ali the old masonry
OF the pier from the coping down to the
bottom and rebuilding from the bototm

priated for reconstruction OF pier No. I

"a contract for the work of recon-
struction of that pier was made with
the Houston Construction Company, of
Philadelphia, May 81 and approved May

of the con ract was $4,000.
"The contract work was to have been
completed by November l, 1897, but the

Every few days a dispatch from Manila

elected elected to the United States Senate from
mentions taken together show that Mr.. .Bev-

rews sets forth that. he Is presently going

Early in the spring when the whole coun-
try. was still talking. of young Beverage
value of hard, earnest conscientious work
which his rise to fame and high office at
forded. the news came that he was leaving
tie country for q. long stay. that he was
taking a trip for health and pleasure to the
far East.
Few of those who read this casual para
graph In the news grasped its full meaning.
Few then saw what a special to the World
from Washington last week made clear.
Senator Beverage needed rest and a change
purpose must always take vacation. He
went where he could best improve his mind
for his career. for the service of his coun-
try. So while other public men were wrang-
ling over generalities and discussing rumors
and scraps of news from the far East, Sen
ator Beveridge was on his way TO get the
facts.
AS the Worlds special suggested the ad-
ministration is watching his movements
with keen anxiety. For all the politicians
now realize that when this young senator
from Indiana takes his seat next fall in the
north wing of the Capitol he alone of all
the public men assembled at Washington
TO talk and act for the Nation will be able
to speak from knowledge gained by his own
eyes, his own ears, his own acute brain
on the very spot
This latest evidence Of the sagacity anG
public spirit OF a young man whoA has al
ready interested the entire county Is an
keeping with his career thus far and Is in
harmony with what that career promises
for the future.
The country does we'll in watching hope

man from Indiana. The young men OF the
country will do we'll to study him as a
model
