AMERICANS HAVE GOOD LEAD.
British Trap Shooters Fall Behind
the Yankee EXPERTS

LONDON June 12-The international
clay bird trap shooting match, which was
begun yesterday on the grounds of the
Middlesex Gun club. Hendon, was resum-
ed under entirely different weather condi-
lions today. Rain, with varying winds
fell during the early afternoon, making
shooting extremely difficult. The Ameri-
cans gathered confidence, however, from
their work of yesterday and their grow
ing familiarity with their surroundings
At the end of the siXtieth round, when
British gunners had broken 476 and the
Americans 473.
Out of the first sixty targets w. r.
Crosby broke So; Fred Gilbert Sc; John S.
flaming, IS, and r. o. Heikes, 81.
The match closed for the day in a driv-
ing rain, with the following totals:
Americans, ST.; British, 794.
When the contest closed this afternoon
it was believed that tomorrows shoot
would surely end the match in favor OF
the Americans. Their average today was
decidedly better than that of yesterday,
but the team will be disappointed if to-
morroW's average under anything like
favorable conditions, does not exceed 80
per cent.
Crosby led today's score with 95 per
cent of kills, Heikes and Gilbert SO per
cent each and Trip with 80 per cent. No
member of the American team secured
less than 81, whereas the highest British
score was 81 per cent. In view Of the
the contest a number Of sweepstakes have
been arranged for Friday and Saturday
and live bird contest for Monday, after
which the American team will go to GlaS-
gov, proceeding from that city to Ger
many and France.

MRS. A'KINLEY BETTER
PATIENTS IMPROVEMENT, HOW
EVER. IS VERY SLOW

WASHINGTON, June r. = After the
consultation of Mrs. McKinley's phys!-
clans this forenoon the following state
ment was issued
Mrs. McKinley's physician reports
that she continues to show improvement
and expects to spend part of the day IN
her rolling chair.
Dr. Rixey, on leaving the White house
tonight, after his usual late CALL said:
Mrs. Mckinley is getting along very
nicely Her Improvement continues
steadily. The heat is not affecting her
materially"
Dr. Rixey's visit occupied less than an
hour, shorter time than for many even
ings previously. He appeared more en-
couraged than usual, but was non-com-
initial when asked more particularly
about the case The intense heat is nat
uraIIy felt in the sick room, but had no
very appreciate effect upon the patents
condition. Mrs Mckinley is fond of
warm weather, and it is seldom that she
suffers from it. Yesterday it interfered
with the normal gain in condition, and
while she felt a little discomfort today
the temperature being in the nineties, it
did not prevent her from showing a 81 ght
according to the statement
of the physicians.
Surgeon General Sternberg, after his
evening visit, said Mrs. Mckinley was
making favorable progress. The predic-
ton in the bulletin Of the doctors this
morning that Mrs. Mckinley would be
able to sit up during the day was borne
out She sat in the rolling chair in the
room, but it was only for a very short
period. The change gave her some relief,
but her strength was not sufficient to
warrant her in remaining up for any
length of time.
The president sent his carriage to the
depot for Mr. and Mrs. Abner Mckinley,
who arrived this evening, and they spent
a half hour at the White house on their
way to their summer home at Somerset,

TRIAL OFF INDEPENDENCE.
Several Changes in Rigging Found
to He Advisable.

BOSTON, June 12.-The first of the ser
les of sail trials of the yacht Independ-
ence was finished today and the big
ninety footer will not go out again until
some changes have been made to cor
rect a few slight defects brought out dur
ing the five days of sailing. These
changes will be a shortening of the mast,
a reduction of the sail area due to tender
ness shown by the boat while on the
wind, and the substitution of stern
post rudder for the balance affair, which
has not proved satisfactory. The mast
will be shortened ten feet, four feet be-
ing taken off the foot of the mainmast,
and six feet from the foot of the top
mast. The reduction in the sails plan
made necessary will come through the
cutting off of two feet from the top of
the mainsail and some slight changes in
the head sails. or a total of some 100
square feet. This reduction will tighten
the top hamper and stiffen the yacht
without additional ballast
The independence sailed today for the
first time under racing canvas, mainsail,
foresail, jib, jib topsail and club topsail,
and in the light breeze seemed to slip
along very fast.
The Independence viii go into the navy
yard tomorrow, as soon as her mast has
been removed.
