Volodyovski seemed to have the race

use of his whip. managed to regain the
lead and won by quarter OF length.
The crowd had too much of scare

Hardy Payne Whitney, beaming
with delight, led the horse in, alternate

Mr. Whitney subsequently, said to a

of an explosion. The magazine is a

REPAIRING THE CONSTITUTION.

BRISTOL, r. L., June 5.-rhe Consti-
tuition was brought to the Herreshoff
pier here to-day. The large main sail
is torn but slightly and can be easily
repaired. The masthead strut over
which the jumper stay passes remains
intact. The spreaders were all broken
off short.
The hull of the Constitution was un-
injured, the one scratch it received be-
ing slight chatting of some paint from
the top side of the top hamper when it
fell.
The steel mainmast was unstepped
and the work of repairing it, which can
be done more speedily than a new one
can be made, will be vigorously prose-
cuted. 1t is thought the repairs OF the
Constitution can be completed in two
weeks.

Of the river, where he is so we'll known
Before his departure, White called at
the Register Office, and stated that he
had wired Barber and Hart, who desert
ed the Grand Rapids team. to join
Wheeling at Louisville.
The local lovers Of the game will,
of course, withhold their judgment I'M
til matters are in a settled condition, :"
he said. 'The fiasco at Grand Rapids
naturally had a demoraEzing effect, and
the assertions broke up the team, but
the boys will settle down and play

league in hitting, and / have certainly
not given up the hope that we will get
him back He is a crack-a-jack and

White certaiily has the best wishes
of adj the local fans" and they expect
much of him when he assumes the man
agerial reins.
The officials of the club yesterday
succeeded in collecting nearly all the
stock subscriptions, but devoted the
major portion of their time to getting

al unfinished shape when they went to
bed last night, but it is expected that
everything will be closed up this morn

shown In the Condition of Mrs. Nc
kinley - Resting Very Comfort
ably.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Dr. Rixey
made his usual nightly visit to the
White House shortly after O'Clock
and remained about an hour and a
half. On leaving, he said:
Mrs. Mckinley is resting comfort
ably now. She has gained a little this
evening, but there is no marked change.
She is doing very WE'LL
While the improvement in Mrs. Nc
kiniey's condition is slight, the fact
that there had been no setback during
the day, but on the contrary a very lit
tie gain was very gratifying to the
White House household and the Presi-
dent expressed his pleasure several
times during the evening. In view,
however, of the gravity of the condition
of the stricken mistress of the White
House, too much significance is not at
tached to the slight improvement
shown. Both ups and downs have
marked the progress of her Illness and
1T is realized that whatever gain or i'm
provement is shown may prove but
temporary For this reason, the bulle-
tins as officially announced by the ply
sicians once a day refer to the gain
in condition in guarded language.
President Mckinley is spending a
large part of his time at his wife's
bedside. He was out driving for an
hour, however, just before supper, with
Mr.. L. L. MMler, of Canton, Ohio. and
returned refreshed. With the exception
of the time spent in the early evening
with a few callers and short time in
the cabinet room about IL O'Clock, most
of the evening was spent within call OF
his wife.
There was deluge of callers, who
gave expression to their sympathy.
Most of the callers merely made per-
sonal inquiries and left their cards.
