The Sierra which left San Francisco
at about II o'clock in the morning
Thursday. october 3. and was sighted
off Koko Head about o'clock this
morning brought complete accounts of
the America cup races of September 2S,

tempts in the contest, and some meager
details of the race of October 3, the

within which the course must be sailed
SO that every attempt to sail the course
does not result in a contest The first
attempt, that of September 26, resulted
in no contest. SO did the third, that of
October /. The second, that of Septem-

THE SECOND ATTEMPT.

Both yachts were handled with consum-
mate skill by their clever and daring
shippers. Never in the history OF cup
races have the contending yachts been
so "close aboard" each other during the
duels. There was scarcely time dur
ing the entire race when the yachts
were on the same tack that they were
not within hail of each other.
Through the long, gentle crestless
sweIls on the fifteen-mile stretch 10
Windward the Shamrock proved con-
cluslVely that she was a trlne the DeI-
ter ship. Her advocates have declared
from the start that in smooth water
and with the breeze at eight knots on
more she would surprise TIE Yankee
talent and she did. In weather Worh
she vanquished the Columbia by 81
seconds which is only four seconds less
than the time she allowed the
white sloop. In running, notwithstand-

ALMA ESTATE IN THE SUPREME
COURT.
only $500 Left in the r. ate but the
Lawyers Are Arguing over Fees
Due

The Supreme Court this morning
heard argument H. the matter OF the at
torneys' fees and allowances in the es-
tate Of Alma, which at present amounts
To $3.50. The estate has been I'm court
for some time, and various decisions
have been given. IL has been in the
Supreme Court before. though it was
originally only $30i9. The balance has
been distributed.
Some time ago attorney Thayer
brought the matter into court by mo-
tion asking that guardian MaEoon be
compelled to give an accounting alleg-
ing that he had not done so for "A long
time. Magoon duly accounted and the
accounts were examined and approved
by the court. Then Thayer asked that
the usual commissions be not allowed
to Magoon, because he had failed to
account before, and Judge Humphreys
approved the motion and refused to al
low Magoon any commissions.
The case was at once taken to the
Supreme Court, Magoon appealing, and
there il was held that the forfeiture
was too heavy. The higher court decid-
ed that Magoon's commissions should
be deducted only to the extent of $50,
and ordered the rest of the S243 due paid
out of the estate.
The next move was motion by
Thaycr for attorney fees for the work
he had done. He was allowed $40, and
again Magoon appealed. This morning
the case came up for argument, and
was submitted. Attorney Frank
Thompson appeared for his partner Ma
goon and argued the case, contending
that the allowance of $40 to Thayer was
contrary to the Supreme court decision
deducting only $50 from MagOons COM
