Shamrock Defeats Britannia.
The Challenger is the Fastest Boat ever
Turned Out in England.

The Challenger is the Fastest Boat ever
Turned Out in England.
SOUTHAMPTON, July - The Sham
rock is decidedly the fastest boat ever
launched in these waters. No other craft
ever;gave the Britannia such beating on
fair sailing trial as did the Shamrock
to- day.
Both yachts were we'll handled, but the
Shamrock had clear advantage through
out. She gained on every tack to wind
ward.
The correct times at the finish were:
Shamrock. IS 43 80 Britannia 4o o.15
The times passing the buoy on the Solent
Bank were:
Shamrock. ...3 10 45 Britannia. ..3 25 Oh
There was considerable mannuvrine of
the yachts before the start and the opin
ion was freely expressed that the Sham
rock did not appear to be SO we'll handled
as the Britannia, which was in the hands
of the veteran Carter, who skippered her
so successfully against the Vigilant in
1894. The Britannia was sailed beauti-
fully and excited general admiration
among the immense crowds of fashionable
people who witnessed the return of the
boats from every point of vantage.
COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, July Is. On
the actual difference of the times of the
Shamrock and the Britannia at the various
points and the times lat the finish of to-
days race, it does not appear that the
Shamrock has great chance of winning
the Americas cup. Those signs, how
ever, may be deceptive. 1t was the opin.
ion of those who closely watched the race
from the steamer following the yachts,
that the Shamrock was never pushed to
her utmost, and that Mr.. Fife, the designer
of the yacht, who practically engineered
the contest on behalf of Sir Thomas Lip
ton. merely desired to ascertain whether
the Shamrock could show the Britannia
clean pair of heels. He had no desire.
however, to let everyone into the actual
merits or best speed of the challenger.
Confirmation of the foregoing opinion
is found in the fact that, while the Britain
MIA carried every possible inch of canvas,
the Shamrock WAS running before the
wind from Nab Lightship to the Solent
Bank buoy, and only had her jib-headed
topsaiI instead of the clubtopsail, like the
Britannia, and that on the broad reach
home from the Solent buoy the Shamrock
lowered her jibtopsail, which would
have been of material assistance had her
shippers really wished to show her at her
best

The E. II. c. Seminary.

The faculty of the East Maine Confer
ence Seminary for the coming year has
been completed by the election of Prof
Raymond Mcfarland of Lamoine as
teacher of mathematics, Greek and natur-
al sciences. Prof. Mcfarland graduated
at the seminary and later from Amherst
college. He has taught in the Lamoine
high school and has also served as super
intendent of schools in that town. Dur
ing the past year he has been sub mas
ter in the Harvard grammar school. The
faculty as it now stands consists of Presi-
dent j. F. Haley, A. NJ, mental and
moral philosophy, political science and
evidences; Miss Mary A. Mckay, 4. B. !,
preceptress, Latin and modern languages;
Raymond Mcfarland, A. B.. mathematics,
Greek and natural sciences; Miss Clara T.
Case, instrumental music; Miss Ellen NJ.

term opens Sept. and the present pros
poets indicate full term. The athletic
field will be completed and more atten-

intended for the crop. Then the field is

intended for the crop. Then the field il
lined out in rows four feet apart, and tn,
plants are set in the rows at regular dis
tances. The transplanting is done wher
the nursery trees are year old. Between
his coffee, the Cuban planter raises corn,
beans, potatoes, plantains, and shades ii
from the sun with cocoa and banana trees.
Soon as the coffee bush is four feet high
it is cut off at the top to give more hori-
zontal growth, and all the sprouts are
trimmed to force the strength into ber-
ries. About three thousand plants can
thus be grown to the acre. In the third
year the planter begins to pick his coffee
and in the fourth year he gets full crop.
Eighteen hundred pounds to the acre is
considered fair yield; but Of this, prob
ably ten per cent. will be unmarketable.
unless very carefully picked, because ali
the coffee in field does not ripen at once.
1t is estimated that the crop costs, from
start to finish, about ten cents the pound ::
and if the planter gets the average price
Of twenty cents for it, using little capital
and less labor, he may consider himself
well paid. Twenty acres in coffee is quite
enough to make man independent; and
the beauty of it is that once planted, it is
there for life time, without the necessity
of planting over again every year. At the
same time the ground is available for gar
den truck-at least for three or four years
until the coffee bushes grow too large; and
after that the shading row of cocoa trees
and bananas yield steady income

breath of air again. Camden harbor was the
next stopping place, and here visit to the

by taking her photograph. The anchor was

sUBIG BAY COMMANDMENT.


WAsuIyqroN. Sept. 17.-Acting Secre-
tarv Allen said this afternoon that he
had received no information from Rear
Admiral Watson respecting the re-
ported bombardment Of Subig Bay,
1t is presumed that the insurgents
are in force at that point and the Of
fcials would not be surprised If Adj
miral Watson desired todriye them into
the interior in order to consider the
desirability Of the point as site for
coaling station. Because Of its ad-
mirable natural defences, Admiral
Dewey. before the battle Of May l,
sent the Boston and Concord to recon-
noitre the bay. A thorough search
was made but the Spanish heetwas not
there, though letter afterward found
in the Cavite arsenal showed that it
was Admiral Montojos intention to
meet the American feet IN that water
way. There is a town at the eastward
end of the bay.
According to an official publication OF
the war department: Port Subig has
Grande Island at its entrance, to the
westward of which is the safe passage
into the port; the passage to the east
ward is intricate and lined with reefs
This port stretches seven miles inland
and forms two excellent harbors, one
on the east side named Port 0longapo
