 The entries for the 10O-yard dash were reconsidered today, with the result that c. D. Dupee, of Yale, and F. A. Blount, of Yale, will compete tomorrow to decide who shall assist F. J. Quinlan, of Harvard, in this race. All three men practiced hard to- day. The three mile and the mile runners jogged, while the men entered for the half-mile event were called on for several swift sprints. The jumpers will do light work from now on, excepting J. T. Roche and J. T. Harrington, both of Harvard, who will go up to the Queens Club grounds to compete with W. c. Daly. of Harvard, for the broad jump, which Is regarded with more apprehension now than any other event, as G. C. Vassall of Oxford, is re- garded as very formidable. Montague sherman, an old Oxford runner, has been chosen referee and Mir Wilkson starter for the Oxford-Cambridge team, both names being suggested by the Americans. The Americans will be announced tomorrow.

THE SHAMROCK WON
Cup Challenger Outran Britannia by
 Thirteen Minutes

Southampton, July 1S.-Thc Shamrock won an easy race from Britannia today, tie latter finishing thirteen minutes be- hind the challenger for the Americas cup. There was much excitement on the Soent over the race. From early morning crowds watched the preparations on board both yachts, while the whole fleet from South ampton, Cowes and other points made for Ryde. The scene at Ryde pier was most animated. Long before the start crowds of fashionable visitors had arrived.
 The Shamrock was lowed from South- ampton, the Erin following with Sir Thomas Lipton and distinguished com pany. The weather was hot and slightly hazy, with slight southeast breeze which promises to last through the day The course was from the Ryde pier head east ward around the Nab light ship, leaving 1t on the starboard hand; then back past Cowes to a buoy on the Solent bank, round- ing the buoy on the starboard and finishing at Cowes, opposite the railway station. The course was about forty miles. The Prince of Wales arrived from Southampton at Il o'clock and boarded the Shamrock.
 
 o'clock with a fresh southeast breeze blow ing. As the starting gun boomed, the Britannia immediately crossed the line, the Shamrock following in way to give the impression that she had no objection to giving the Britannia a slight lead. The latter, however, did not long maintain the advantage. It was a dead beat to wind ward and little distance was covered before the Shamrock, which started on the short leg to port, overhaued her and on the fol- lowing leg to starboard the Shamrock forged ahead rapidly. It was at once no- ticed that she was sailing nearly half a point north to the wind than the Britannia, The Shamrock was carrying her main sail ijb, headed, top sail, jib and foresail. The Britannia carried the same canvas, but in addition her club top sail. The Shamrock was half a mile ahead, passing Warner. She passed at 12:36:13 and the Britannia at 1243:1S. The Shamrock rounded the Nab light ship at 1;00:25; the Britannia at 1:06:20. On rounding the Nab light ship, both yachts set their spinnakers for the run back. The only mishap of the day was when the Shamrocks saii began to fill the top caught in the cross trees. The canvas Topped flat and then suddenly burst like a gun and made big rent along the inner filler.
 The wind freshened after passing Cowes and both took in their spinnakers and started on the back reach to the Solent buoy. After jibbing around they reached back with a short tack to make the home mark. Experts were satisfied that the Shamrock will be able to give good ac- count of herself in the contest for the American cup Both yachts were admira- bly handled but the Shamrock had the advantage throughout te race.

If you are contemplating the purchase of a writing machine and consider permanent alignment an essential feature, 1t would be we'll for you to investigate the typebar mechanism. If, in action, 1t executes a movement similar to the old-fashioned pump handle, you have not found the ma- chine you want. Then why pay s10o for what you don't want, when you can get jpz7 Chat you do want for the same moneyf To pre- serve perfect alignment the type characters must strike at the same spot with mathe- nautical exactness. As there is not much mathematical precision in wobbling pump, handle, so there is no more straight-Ine writing in machine constructed on similar principles after 1t has begun to wear.

ON THE RACE TRACK.
At Brighton Dcach

New York, July 1S.-The chief event on the card at Brighton today was the Peconic stakes for 9-year-olds at mile and a fur long in which Ethelbert and Martimas were the only starters of account, Ellerdale be- ing added simply to get third money. The start was quickly made and the pair went away together On the run to the first turn, which was little more than a gallop, Martimus took lead of length, which he sustained around the lower turn into the back stretch, when Ethelbert began to cut down the lead, and as they turned the upper curve they were running head and head. They hung together for few sec onds and then Ethelbert slid away and the race was over, for he made the gap wider with every stride, but pulled up at the end, winning the hollowest kind of a vic- tory in 1:55.

Shamrock Has No Cinch

Cowes, Island of Wight, July 1S-On the actual difference in the time of the Sham- rock and Britannia at the various points and the times at the finish of today's race it does not appear that the Shamrock has a great chance of winning the Americas cup.
 These signs, however may be deceptive. It was the opinion of those who closely watched the race from the steamer follow ing the yachts that the Shamrock was never pushed to her utmost in today's trial and that Mir. Fife, the designer of the yacht, who practically engineered the contest on behalf of Sir Thomas Lipton, merely de- sired to ascertain whether the Shamrock could show the Britannia a clean pair of heels. He had no desire however, to let everyone into the secret of the actual mer- it's or best speed of the challenger.
