CONSTITUTION WINS.
Defeats Columbia In the First Larch-
mont Race

LARCHMONT, n. Y, Aug. 17-The
Constitution drifted across the finish lire
yesterday afternoon a winner by 31m
OBS. This seemingly vast difference in
time, however, does not represent the
difference in speed between the two
yachts, for a very large part of the big
margin was entirely due to a fuke in the
light airs while the boats were sailing
the second round of the triangular course
of 15 miles. 1t occurred just as the Con-
stitution was rounding the first mark.
Both yachts had come up from the home
mark on a broad reach with a southwest
Wild, the Constitution leading by about
two minutes.
As they approached the stake boat
black clouds which had been gathering
in the northwest brought with them
small rain squall and sudden change of
wind. The Constitution was able to turn
or. the southwest wind and Immediately
after take the Northwestern, which lifted
her out into the middle of the sound,
while the Columbia was making for the
mark close hauled on the port tack in the
last wind of the first i<rthwest squat.
This gave the Constitution an oppor-
tunity to take advantage of the westerly
wind which followAl out in the sound,
while the Columbia ley almost becalmed
at the mark. This settled the race, for
thereafter the Columbia was hopelessly
out of it. The contest of speed was alto
gether In the first leg. while the wind,
which was at all times light, held true.
On every leg the new boat gained and
maintained her reputation as a won
derfully fast yacht in soft airs.
But the Columbia, with her perfect
sails, was also going fast. and lin the
first Is miles the flew boat only made up
q seconds over her time allowance. The
most noteworthy spectator of the race
was Captain Sycamore of the Shamrock
III, who came down from New York on
the Upton tug Lawrence and followed
the racers over the course. 1t was his
first view of the American boats. and he
got very valuable line on the light
weather qualities Of his rival.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 16.-The
Democratic state convention has nomi-
mated Judge Hartman Yerkes of Doyles-
town for supreme court judge and Rep
resentative Andrew j. PALM of Mead
vile for state treasurer. The platform
makes no reference to William J. Bryan
or national affairs, being confined en-
tirely to state issues. In the closing mo-
ments of the convention resolutions were
adopted without debate and by prac-
tically unanimous vote which will have
the effect of blocking any effort that may
be contemplated looking to the withdraw
al of the candidate for state treasurer
and the substitution of an anti-Quay
Republican on a fusion ticket.
The contest between the rival Phila-
delphia factions for recognition by the

ment between the recognized leaders of

ignated to cooperate with Ex-Governor

speeches by Mr.. Pattison and ex-Judge

WIRELESS MESSAGES.
Gucania Sends and Receives Man!
by Marconi System,

by MarcOnf System.
SIASCONSET, Mass, Aug. 17.-That
communication by wireless telegraphy il
| now established permanently between
Nantucket South Shoals lightship and
she station here was proved early last
evening when messages were received
announcing the arrival in American wa
tiers of the Cunard line steamship Lu-
cania.
The message telling of the approach of
the Lucania marks new era in the
maritime world by the establishment of
this system. Friends of those ON board
incoming passenger steamers may get
news of their approach more than u
hours sooner than they could from the
observer at Fire Island. Farewell mes
sages may be transmitted from outgoing
vessels a similar length of time after
passing Fire Island.
The Lucania was expected to send
word to the Nantucket lightship of her
passing some miles south of that point
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
There was a crowd of newspaper men
and operators at the little station here,
and as the afternoon wore ON and no
word was received the watchers began to
fear that something had happened to the
apparatus on the steamship. Just about
& O'Clock the sudden ringing of the call
bell on the operators desk awoke every.
body to realization that the ship was
within signaling distance.
w. w. Bradfeld, the Marcon oper-
ator, sat down at his instrument and re-
ceived notice that the Lucana had sig
nailed the lightship and that messages
were to follow. Then the messages began
to be recorded upon the tape at the rate
of ten words minute in dots and dashes
which only the skilled operators could I'M
derstand. The messages from the people
on the steamer were quickly translated
and telephoned to the telegraph station
at Nantucket and thence were telegraph
ed to the mainland and their ultimate
destination. The Lucania evidently slow
ed down to allow the messages to be
transmitted, for the instruments were
still ticking at $3.50 o'clock last night.
The system worked perfectly, and there
seems to be no reason for supposing that
wireless telegraphy as applied here is not
q success
