"Of course am delighted at the ont

thoroughly that in a strong breeze. the
Columbia is more than match for the
Shamrock. am glad that we had so
much wind for 1t gave us an opportunity
to dispel the Illusion that the Columbia

HOW 1T WAS SAILED.
Technical Description of the Final
Yacht Race.

New York. October 2O.-Out of the
northward with a rush came a good stiff
breeze clearing away what little mist and
fog thsrs was between seven and eight
O'Clock. giving the shippers and crews of
the Colum bia and the Shamrock the best
encouragement they had yet received for
a race.
By $50 both yachts vera passing
through the outer end of Gedney's chan
mel and few minutes later, after casting
of from their tugboats, they were stand
ing of and on, under mainsail and lib,
trying the breeze which was now from
about north by west, and increasing
with every minute. By 10 90 the wind
was blowing fully 90 miles an hour
churning up quite sea on the lIghtship
and 1t looked doubtful then whether the
yachts would be able to carry even work
ing topsails over their mainsails, much
less their big club sails.
The committee boat, which had an
chored east Of the lightship cables
length, set the course signals south by
west, soon after 1890. The preparatory
signal was given at 1915, the warning at
1888 and the one to start at II O'Clock.
just as the preparatory signal was given,
the Shamrock set her working topsail and
fore staysail. The Columb bias was not
yet set. Both yachts vera msnoeuyring
north Of the line, with booms to star
board, when the warning signal was
given.

this tack for 81 minutes they came about
to port. the Columbia having been steadi-
ly outpointing the other. at 1905 she
went about to starboard for short board
of five minutes. The Shamrock. having
made the short board to port, tackled to
starboard at i.24. 80.
During the next fifteen minutes the
Shamrock made three taeks and the CO.
lumbia two and at lao when the Column
bia tackled to port, the wind had fallen
light for "a short time. At Las the Sham
rock then ON the starboard tack sent IN
a small club topsail. The wind soon
freshened, eanting couple of points
westerly. The Shamrock, having "split
tacks" with the Columbia, was heading
in-shore on the starboard tack, when the
shift came. Hogarth at once put the
Shamrock about and took advantage of
this slant. 1t was noticed when the
Shamrock came about to port tack at /, 40.
that her position had been considerably
bsttered, partly perhaps by reason of her
carrying the club topsail, making her
foot faster but chiefly because Of the shift
OF the wind. which ahe apparently got q

delayed on account of the Judge going
back on his word.
When first 1 was taken before Judge
Dominguez 1 objected to stand trial be
| fore lin. He then told me that the
evidence would have to be taken down
before him, that then l could have my
trial before some other judge.
l have been taken before him several
times, and every time l have told him
| would not stand tr al before him.
On Sept. % 1 was told that if 1 wish
ed to have my case taken before some
other Judge l must have a lawyer, and
he must write to the governor of Q al
huahua and inform him of the fact. 1
then asked the Judge If he would give
me permission to write to the governor
and would explain the fact to him and
ask that the case be turned over to the
other Judge. He told me to write and
he would send the letter to chihuahua.
1 wrote the letter, but it was not call
ed for, and later on l gave it to an Off
Ger and asked him to give 1t to the
Judge to send to the governor. He
took the letter to him. Later on the
secretary came to the window and said
the Judge would not send the letter un-
less would mention the name Of the
lawyer who L had engaged at the time
I came here.
1 then told him If that letter did not
suit the Judge I would write another.
He saw the Judge and came back again
and told me that the Judge would men
ton the name of the lawyer and send
it.
Ever since then have been waiting,
but the letter I have longed for has
not come as yet. 1 asked the Judge If
he had received word and he said he
had not.
Monday, October 9, the Judge sent
for me, and the secretary told me he
that the judge would give
me 8 days from that time to get q
lawyer, and that if did not have one
by that time he would appoint one and
1 would have my trial.

stand trial before him.
Striking himself on the breast, he
declared that 1 must stand trial before
him; that there was no other judge but
him that could try me.
1 then asked him If the case could be
taken to chihuahua, but he gave me
no answer. asked him if he did not
tell me that after all evidence had been
taken down, I could have my case tax
en- before some other judge.
He declared again that must stand
trial before him and he got very angry
at me. 1 told him did not care about
that, for bad made up my mind not
to stand trial before him, as 1 have a
reason for doing so, and if it was salts
factory to him I would write my state

HAS WRITTEN
LETTER
Mrs. Rich Tells Why Her
Trial Has Been Delayed.
SHE FLATLY REFUSED
To be Tried by the Judge of Letters.
While on the Contrary, He De-
mands That She Submit t. His
Jurisdiction.

Nearly three months has expired
since Mrs. John D. Rich, the American
woman accused of numbering her hus-
band in Juarez, was surrendered to the
Mexican authorities to be tried and, if
found guilty, punished according to
law.
Since the day Of her surrender Mrs.
Rich has been confined in q cell close
by the old cathedral in the an
Client city on the southern bank of Rio
Graude and today che is apparently no
nearer to getting q trial than on July
"a, when she was taken across the
river with an American flag wound
about her person, as q token of de-
fiapce.
The woman may be guilty, or she
may be innocent. If innocent she is
entitled to her liberty and if not she is
at least entitled to trial.within rea-
sonable time.
It may not be the fault of the Mex
lean courts entirely that Mrs. Rich has
not been already tried. While q pri-
soner in Ell i'aso she earned a reputa-
ton for.obstinacy and fault finding that
was greatly to her detriment and, If
ports be true, she has pursued the same
tactics in dealing with the Juarez court
officials that she followed in this city,
and has succeeded in making herself
even more unpopular there than mere.
At her preliminary hearing held. in
that city three days after she was eur
rendered, Mrs. Rich was asked to name
the lawyer whom she had chosen to de-
fend her. She declined to do so and
asked for further time. She was also
asked If she was willing to be tried be
fore Judge Dominguez and replied that
she was not.
A HERALD reporter who attended
the Jusrez court that day was told that
since Mrs Rich objected to being tried
by Judge Domiuguez a judge would
come from the Getty of. chihuahua to
try her.
Since that time the woman has been
urged to retain a lawyer
for the defense and up the present time
she has failed to do so. This maybe
one reason that the trial has been de-
layed.
Mrs. Rich herself appears to think
that the court has entered into a con-
spiracy to delay the trial and deprive
her of her rights and she has written
the following letter to the HERALD de-
failing her views of the situation.
MRS. RICH'S LETTER.

MRS. j. D. RICH.
FORGOTTEN BY THE GOVERNMENT.
When Mrs. Rich was surrendered to
Mexico il was given out in Washing
ton that the United States government
had made provision to procure counsel
for the accused woman and had in
structed its official representatives in
Mexico to follow up the case and see
that the woman obtained fair and
speedy trial. This information was
given out in view OF the fact that the
executive received hundreds of letters
and kilograms from all parts of the
United States protesting against the
surrender of an American woman to
any foreign government.
The statement, however, must have
been based on error, for if the Ameri-
can government has done anything for
Mrs. Rich since she has been imprison-
ed in Juarez, no one has heard any
thing of it.
If she ia not given trial within
reasonable time it Is probable that the
newspapers of the United States will
again be heard from on the subject
and the government heard not be
perm tilted to forget.
