IN CONFERENCE.
SeVenfy-SecOnd Semi-Annua Session Com,
menced in the Tabernacle This Morning
Under AuspciOas Conditions.

The seyenty-second annual confer-
ence has brought to the city the Gus
tomay large crowds. People from
Canada on the north to Mexico on the
south have come to attend the annual
gathering and one Of the most satsfac-
tory features regarding their presence
Is that they report good prosperous
times, This condition seems to be
general and while the prosperity Is
very marked IN some portions Of the
country there Is no hard times In any
section. Such a combination therefore
viii doubtless serve TO make the pre-
sent conference a memorable one Al
though the attendance today was fairly
large, It would undoubtedly have been
much greater had It not been for the

GETTING 10 BE CLOSE.

GETTING TO BE CLOSE
II was getting to be the closest kind
Of race. AT 2:l5 IL wes evident that
the Ulster yacht had secured slight
lead. For the next fifteen minutes TIE
yachts continually'split tacks.
After a short while spent at this
game both yachts at 1880 went about
and stood on the starboard tack for
the Jersey shore In this game OF tack
ing the Shamrock had crawled up 70
wlndward and was ahead by narrow
margin. The wind was getting still
lighter but the finish mark was then
not more than five miles away.
At $40 Columbia went on short port
tack and shortly afterward again went
on the starboard tack, holding the same
course as the Shamrock. II was now
close race. At 2i5 the Shamrock went
around on the port tack and headed
north
Columbia soon followed. It was de-
veloping into a very exciting contest
despite the light wind, and as the
yachts stood In toward the shore the
Shamrock seemed TO be able to hold her
slight lead, her big sail spread seeming
TO give her a slight advantage At
that time, however II did not seem as
II the Ulster boat was sufficiently ahead
to place her out Of the handicap OF her
time allowance. Indeed, Il was any
body's race.
Al 2:4S Columbia went on the star
board tack, Immediately followed by
Shamrock The tack was short one
for within less than five minutes Barr
had swung Columbia to port tack again
and almost instantly the British skip
per followed his lead, The race had
reached a point where the slightest
favorable pun OF wind meant much
and where seamanshiD of the finest
kind was required.
At 3.05 the yachts were still holding
the long port tack and the finish mark
was not more than three miles away,
At 3.17 the Shamrock went on sthe
starboard tack. being then about a
mile and half from the light ship,
holding this tack toward the Jersey
shore until she met Columbia. Then
being TO the weather Of the latter. the
Shamrock forced her about and swing
ing around on the port tack headed
for the line. Columbia followed her
Immediately,
STRAIGHT FOR THE FINISH.
The boats we're now headed straight
for the finish. Shamrock had the wea-
Their and what looked like safe lead.
1t was then merely a question OF
whether or not the American boat
could get to the coveted finish line, not
ahead, but within her 4S seconds OF
time allowance from the other boat.
Both racers seemed TO know that the
goal was near at hand and they
slipped through the water faster than
II seemed possible for the light breeze
to drive them.
At $3.50 they both went on the star
board tack. Shamrock taking the lead.
AT that time Columbia was Just undei-
meath the shamrock's lee bow, As they
drew the line II was seen what had
seemed TO be the safe lead for tho
Shamrock had become doubtful propo-
sition. A second later and It developed
almost to a certainty that even II the
Shamrock should cross the line first the
Columbia was within her time allow
ance and had the race. Almost as one
boat they went across the line, sham
rock first but Columbia so few seconds
behind her that II made no difference.
