Drying
OUT DAY
ON YACHTS
Constitution and Columbia Re.
main in HaTbOr--No More
Races for Independence.

This is drying day on the racing yachts
al Newport and both the Constitution and
Columbia leave all their sails spread out
to the sun. They were well soaked in
the rain of yesterday and will need all
OF a day 10 get back into shape again.
1t is doubtful II either boat takes
spin today rs there is only very light
breeze from the southeast Officers and
crews will get rest and prepare for to-
morrows contest
While there was nothing in the weight
of the wind yesterday TO try crew, still.
the men were kept on the jump pretty
much all the time, changing sails 10 meet
the constantly shifting breeses and so
day of rest is welcomed.
1t seems TO be now we'll settled that
the independence will get no more races
this season. She has not been invited
TO any OF the events in the sound and 1t
is probable that she will soon be taken
around the cape again to Boston without
having another test Of speed with the
other two boats. There is genuine disap-
pointment among yachtsmen here that
she will not be given another trial

A SWINDLER.
Deposition Cheats Chicago Bank
Out Of $4,000 in Cash.

Chicago. Aug. f3--It leaked out here to-
day. that one of the Chicago banks was
recently swindled out of $4,000 I'm cash in
a skilful manner. An effort is being made
to keep the natter secret and not even
the name OF the bank is given.
1t seems that depositor of several
years standing appeared a few days ago
in the bank presidents office with a
draft on London for esO0o which was per-
fectly good. The deposltor Informed the
president he desired To deposit this Lon
don draft and at the same time TO check
against Il. presenting his chech for sSG, 600
for the president TO O. X. The latter put
his initials on IL and thought nothing of
IL.
The depositor then went out into the
bank and deposited his London draft and
on the following day presented a check
for $4,000, which was paid, the teller
knowing that amount was 10 his credit on
the books. Later i'm the day he again ap-
peared al the window and presented the
check for $50 900 which had been initiated
BY the president. This check was also
paid. Nothing more has since been seen Of
the deposition.

was not sworn before proceeding with the
trial; lat the charges related to offences
between the time petitioner was dropped
and the hearing on mandamus before the
appellate court: that the alleged Of
fences were waived or condoned by the
respondents when the petitioner was not
charged with the same at the hearing on
mandamus. and also by the reinstate-
ment OF the petitioner after the hearing
