walled, the Corsair and several other
yachts fired salutes and the crowds
on the side-wheelers cheered. The
Corsair hauled down her private sig
nails and set old glory at each mast
head and gaff and taft rail- The crew
of the Columbia gathered aft and hur-
rahed.
After the Columbia had lowered her
headsails and taken the tow line from
her tender. the crowd waited oven 10
minutes until the Shamrock had crossed
and the fleet had given her stem

the steamers scampered after the Col
umbia crowdng about her and cheer
ing her again and again, while the
bands played patriotic airs. They es-
corted her all the way to her anchor
age inside the Hook.
The official summary is: The elapsed
time of the Columbia from the outer
mark to the finish was hours minu-
ties 40 seconds: the Shamrock's 2 hours
minutes 2 seconds: showing that in
the fifteen mile run before the wind
the Columbia had gained 22 seconds.

onds handicap, which the Columbia
must concede to the challenger on ac-
count of her longer water line. It was
a magnificent race, skilfully sailed and
decisively won.
Opinion as to the merits of the two
boats had been somewhat divided as a
result of the lukes during the past
two weeks, but no nautical sharp
expected that the Shamrock would
be so Overwhelmingly vanquished as
she was. The Yankee out-generaled
her at the start and gained 90 seconds
in the run home before the wind.
No excuse can be offered for the
Shamrocks defeat. There was a good,
strong 10 to ~ knot breeze and it held
throughout the race true as the needle
to the pole. The regatta committee,
on the result of the showing made by
the defender are convinced that the
cup is safe. Blow high. blow low,

Mr.. 1selin, can take the measure of her

Sir Thomas Upton confessed after the
race that he had been fairly and

to make, saying that be would die
game and race the series.
The race was a magnificent duel and
made up for the repeated disappoint-
ments the sightseers have suffered. 1t
was anything but a comfortable day
on the water. A wet, grey veil of
pect was not very aluring. Still the
list wreaths were carried along by the
10 knot breeze from the east and the
old shellbacks said there was more
wind where that came from. But the
excurslonists who went down the bay
were not very hopeful until they got
outside. The low, leaden clouds over
head shut out the sky The wall of
vapor blotted out the horizon. The mist
made everything look ghost-like and in
distinct. The only color in the dull
scene was furnished by the ensigns and
the flags which adorned the excursion
fleet and the dash of red from the
big hulk of the lightship. Outside the
wind was fresher and whipped some
foam out of the waves.
Both yachts were towed out from the
anchorages and raised mainsalls before
casting off. The wind kept freshening
all the way out to the lightshlp and
the seas spit more froth.
No large assemblage was on hand
to witness the start. A few side wheel
ers, the regular fleet of Ccean-going
tugs and score or two of steam yachts
were about all. Many more, however
got out in time to see the finish.
There was a soul-stirring scene as
the Columbia approached the finish
with her bulglng balloons drawing.
The excursion boats had gathered there
and as she swept across the finish line
steam whistles shrieked, the sirens

DEFENSIVE EVIDENCE.
A Noted Case of Alleged Conspiracy and
Bribing Being Tried.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.-In the
trial of ex-United States District At
torney Ellery P. Ingham and his law
partner and former assistant, Harvey
X. hewitt, on the charge of conspiracy
and bribing a secret service operative,
the government rested Its case.
Former Judge Gordon was the first
witness for the defense. He testified
as to the reputation of the defendants
and said he had never heard anything
derogatOry to them.
A number of witnesses were called
to testify to the good character of the
defendants. Those included judges of
the superior court, county and local
courts, lawyers, clergymen and bust
ness from this and other cities. The
most prominent perhaps was former
Governor Beaver. The defense had at
tached great Importance to the testi-
mony of John Lynch, who was a clerk
In the United States district attorneys
office when Mr.. Ingham was the incum-
bent.
1t was expected that this witness
would refute much of Secret Service
Operative McManus testimony and tell
something of the Richards pension
waiver, which the defense hinted had
been forged at McManus' instigation.
The court, however ruled out all tes-
timony relating to this, but admitted
the papers as evidence.
Shortly before court adjourned for
the day Mr., Ingham was placed on the
stand, and after giving a brief sketch
of his career told of his first meeting
with William l.. Kending, the confessed
counterfeiter and William M. Jacobs,
the leader of the conspiracy, who mis-
represented their case to him. He said:
Kendig told him that he and Jacobs
were the victims of a conspiracy and
they were anxious to know if private
individuals could seize their plant for
debt. Ingham was still on the stand
when court adjourned.
