America's Cup Defender Meets with
Disaster on Her Trial Spin
No One Hurt.

Newport, II. l.. June 5.-While dash
ing along in good wholesale breeze
off Brentons Reef lightship Tuesday
afternoon, with three lower sails set,
the big hollow steel mast on the Bel
mont syndicate cup defender Constr
tuition, collapsed like a blowpipe,
through the sudden breaking OF the
starboard and windward spreader
The mast broke off only few feet be-
low the spreader, about three-tifths OF
the length of the mast above the deck,
and as the topmast was carried away
at the same time none of the spars eN-
cept the boom struck the deck. and the
latter only hit it light blows. which did
not iniure the hull at all. None OF the
sails was torn and all can be used
again. Fortunately three seamen had
Just come down from the masthead
after taking in the club topsail, but
the wreckage swept overheard Second
Mate Edward Nelson. He was prompt
ly hauled on board, however, without
sustaining anything more than few
bruises.

ON the deck when the mast collapsed,
and with him were w. Butler Duncan,
the manager of the yacht; Mr.. c. Oliver
Iselin, who managed the Columbia two
years ago when she sustained similar
accident; Rear Commodore G. L. F.
Robinson, of the New York Yacht club
and Mr.. Newbury Thorne. and all es-
capped injury. The Constitution will be
taken to Bristol this morning, where
another steel mast is nearly finished.
The yacht will be Immediately reftted,
but it will probably be ten days or two
weeks before she is in shape to sail
again, so that the races off this port
scheduled for June Is and II will have
to be postponed.

a constant reader of the Dayton Folks
zeltuag. He knows that this paper
aims to advertise only the best in its

buying bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says. aAfter
using the Pain Balm for a few days
my wife said to me, I feel as though
born anew and before using the en-
tire contents of thebottle the unbear-
able pains had entirely vanished and
She could again take up her household

NOT VERY ENCOURAGING.
Report from Mrs. Mckinley Is That

since Yesterday"
Dr.. Rixey called at the white house
at s:i5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
and remained about five minutes. He
reported that Mrs Mckinley was rest.
ing easily.
DR.. Rixey was at the white house
an hour and half Tuesday evening,
and on leaving at half-past ten, in an
swer to inquiries concerning Mrs. Nc
Kinley's condition, said:
There has been no important change
in Mrs. Mckinleys condition since we
gave out our bulletin this morning. She
Is resting very comfortably. OF course
there are fluctuations in her condition; a,
times she Is better and at times worse, bu
she is certainly not losing any ground. II
fact, she is positively gaining very slowly
There Is no more immediate danger nov
than there has been for some time"
While DR.. Rixsy was slightly more
hopeful in his talk, the patients con
dition cannot be said to show any
material change. 1t has been decided
not to hold consultations more thar
once day unless a material change
for the worse should occur, and tina
The only bulletin to be issued shall
be one following the usual forenoon
consultation. One of the president:

CITY OF ERIE WINS.
An Exciting Trial of Speed on
Lake Erie.
COURSE ONE HUNDRED MILES LONG,
The Tashnnoo Is Defeated by About
40 SecOnds-The Contest Declared
to he the Prettiest Ever
Witnessed.

Cleveland, o., June 5.-The hundred
mile race from Cleveland to Erie Tues
day between the Cleveland passenger
steamer City of Erie, owned by the
Cleveland q Buffalo Transit company,
and the Tashmoo, Detroit's crack pas
senger boat, owned by the White Star
company, was in many respects the
most noteworthy race ever sailed on
fresh water. The Erie covered the
distance in four hours, 10 minutes and
nine seconds, passing the stake boat at
Erie one minute and thirty-eight sec
| onds ahead of the Tashmoo,
beating the latter by 45 seconds
elapsed time. 1t was pronounced by
old vesselmen to be the prettiest race
ever witnessed. Aside from winning
the speed championship of the great
lakes, the Erie won about 100000 for
those who bet on her.
Raced Under Fine Conditions.
The conditions under which the race
was sailed were ideal. There was a
fair sky and sea as calm as a mill
pond. These conditions were more es-
sential to the Tashmoo, as she is light
draught river boat, and would have
been severely hampered by wind and
sea. While the Erie was, made to
travel fast under all conditions. The
| course was lined from start to finish
with excursion boats of all kinds, and
the shores were crowded at points
with people. The noisy departure OF
the racers at Cleveland was duplicated
at the finish. Whistles footed and peo-
pie cheered both victor and van
quished. 1t was the prettiest race ever
seen on the great lakes. Both boats
were stripped to fighting trim. The
decks were cleared of everything that
would catch the wind on board the
Erie, even the life boats had been
slowed away between decks. The linn
tied number of spectators carried on
each boat We're confined to the cabins
| and none were allowed on the decks
| Both racers were made as light as pos.
sible.
Neck and Neck.
The Erie made no preparations for
the race except to unload her freight
after coming to her dock in the morn
ing. The Tashmoo had been scraped
thoroughly, and everything done to ia
cilitate her speed. From the start the
result was in doubt until within few
miles of the finish. The race demon
strated that both boats were evenly
matched. Each was surprised at the
speed of the other. The boats approx
imately made nearly % miles an hour.
1t was neck and neck from the start
ing point until just about Fairport,
where the Erie encountered shore
water and fell three lengths behind her
rival From Fairport to Ashtabula
she made no perceptible gain, but final.
| ~ picked up and passed her rival The
Tashmoo sailed by spurts, getting
ahead for awhile, then falling back
while the Erie maintained stead,
| gait. When the victorious craft en-
tered the Cleveland harbor Tuesday
evening on her return from the race
she was greeted with a tremendous
ovation. Hundreds of steam whistles
along the lake front and river blew
continually Tor nearly half an hour
while thousands of people crowded
along the docks wildly cheering.
