YACHT CLUB CRUISE ENDS.
Columbia Defeats Defender On Last
Days Racing.


Days Racing.
Newport, r. l., Aug. 12.-The New
York Yacht club squadron rides at an
Choir in the harbor tonight, and the
cruise of 1899 is at an end. During the
cruise today of twenty-five miles from
New Bedford the wind held on longer
than yesterday, but the yachts run into
soft spots. and five miles from the fin
ish the entire fleet was becalmed for
half an hour. The Columbia kept up
her record of victories this week. not
only leading al! the yachts over the
line, but defeating the Defender nine
teen minutes and four seconds, elapsed
time.
The actual distance, however, be-
tween the boats was less than two
miles, for the old boat came up very
slowly in the light air, besides being
somewhat delayed by short luffing
match with the schooner Colonia. which
finished about the same time. The Co
lumbia's victory was nevertheless per-
fectly legitimate, and she showed her
self a marvel in light weather.
The wind was light throughout, and
at one time failed altogether, but it
treated both boats alike, barring a
short spell jus; before the finish, when
the Columbia caught the breeze a few
minutes before her rival.

Refuse to Ride at Salt Palace Fol-
Present Prizes.
DEMAND MORE MONEY

AMONG THE STRIKERS.
Palace Officials Refuse to Give Larger
Prizes and Meets May Be Called

Should Be Graded-other Cycling
News.

The cycle riders are on strike, and
Thursdays meet at the Salt Palace may
be called off.
Yesterday. when Manager Schefski
presented the entry blanks for Thurs
day, the leading professional riders re-
fused to ride, alleging that the prizes
offered were not large enough, and that
they were not able to make their eX-
penses. Mr.. Schefski consulted with
President Nelden of the Salt Palace as
ISOLATION, and Mr.. Nelden refused to
accede to the demands of the racing
men, and now the most prominent OF
them have refused to ride at all on
Thursday.
Chapman, Cotter. Julius. Gum. Caine
and Sharman are the insurgents. all Of
the fastest riders who have been ap-
pearing on the track during the past
six weeks. They claim that their eX-
penses, with the employment of train
ers, repairs TO their wheels. ointmentS
and liniments for the bruises they are
all suffering with, eat up all they can
make on the track. and they feel that
as long as the Salt Palace people are
making so much money at the track,
they ought to offer larger prizes.
Last week 5000 was offered for the
three professional races, but $50 of this
was offered in d championship race,
open to Utah riders only. This week
the prizes for professionals aggregate
i210, but again there is one race open
% state riders only, and $65 is given
:or the three prizes.
The speedy men who have come here
from other states to ride think that a
1900 prize list would be about satisfac-
tory, but 10 this the Salt Palace people
will not agree. and as the parties in in
terest have locked horns on this one
point. ii may result in a temporary
closing of the track.
Manager Schefski stated last even
ing that steps would be taken at once
to bring to Salt Lake several Colorado
riders. notably Hackenburger and W.
W. Hamilton, and he is also commune
eating with some of the we'll known
men on the y. c. A circuit, endeavor-
ing to get them to come here and race.
Mcfarland and Stevens, the California
men, are TO be here later in the year,
and if the Salt Palace track closes, it
will only be temporarily.
Johnny Chapman is planning a big
meet at Calder'S park. with a match
race between himself and John Lawson,
and he thinks he can make big money
out there.
The entries for Thursdays races do
not close until tomorrow night. and it
is barely possible that the racing men
may change their minds at the last
moment and consent to ride.
The programme, as announced for
Thursday night. includes the following
races:
One-mile novice.
Two-mile amateur.
One-mile handicap amateur
One-mile professional lap race.
One-mile invitation handicap.
rwo-mile tandem handicap.

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid Of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is a disordered state Of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy Swift's Specific Is.
s. 81 goes down to the very bottom OF
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr.. E. K. S. Clinkenbeard, promi-
nent attorney of Mt Sterling, Ky,
writes:
"Two years ago was great sufferer
from Rheumatism. / had tried every
remedy | could hear of except S. S. S.

found themselves after San Juan ridge

The reasons given why the idea
Of retiring to a shorter line nearer

show that the idea was natural one.

cause Of the repulsa Of the Spaniards

real danger was a Spanish sortie
Some time after midnight on the Cd
decision was made at headquarters to
hold the line on san Juan ridge. 1t has
been stated that : natter demand for the
surrender Of Santiago was drafted that

was dated $3.50 a. M, and Toral accept
