Americas Cup Defender Meets with
Disaster on Her Trial Spin
No One Hurt.

Newport, r. l., June 5.-While dash
ing along in a good wholesale breeze
off Brentons Reef lightship Tuesday
afternoon, with three lower sails set,
the big hollow steel mast on the7Bel-
mont syndicate cup defender Consti-
tuition, collapsed like a. blowpipe,
through the sudden breaking of the
starboard and windward spreader.
The mast, broke off only a few feet be-
low the spreader, about three-ffths Of
the length of the mast above the deck,
and as the topmast was carried away
at the same time non of the spars ex-
cept the boom struck the deck, and the
latter only hitit light blows, which did
not injure 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 a lew
bruises.
The designer, Mr.. Nat Herreshof, was
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 a similar
accident; Rear Commodore G. T.. F.
Robinson, of the New York Yacht club,
and Nh. 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 refitted,
hut 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. s

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 lin
tied number Of spectators carried on
each boat were confined to the cabins,
and none were allowed on the decks.

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 a few
miles of the finish. The race demon
strated that both boats were evenly
matched. Zach 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 threelengths behind her
rival. From Fairport to Ashtabula
she made no perceptible gain, but final.
ly picked up and passed her rival. The
Tashmoo sailed by spurts, getting
ahead for awhile, then falling back
while the Erie maintained a steady
gait. When the victorious craft en-.
tered the Cleveland harbor Tuesday
evening on her return from the ace
she was greeted with a tremendous
ovation. Hundreds of steam whistles
along the lake front and river blew
continually for nearly half an hour
while thousands of people crowded
along the docks wildly cheering.

London correspondent of the Tage.

ton in London that the emperor OF
China, with the consent of the dow,

The Berliner Tageblatt comments
upon the London 1lmes dispatch re.
garding the intended annexation by
the French of Hai-Nan as follows:
st goes without saying that such a step
would be a direct breach Of the declaration
of the powers that they would respect the
integrity of the Chinese empire, and 1t
would force the other powers to demand
compensation, which would be the signal
for the partition of China"

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 & 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 rae 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 As seconds
elapsed time. It was pronounced by
old vesselmen to be the prettiest race
yer 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 a sea as calm as a mill
pond. These conditions were more es-
sential to the Tashmoo, as she is a 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

Weather Bureau Predictions.


LOUISVILLE, April "a The river here

inches an hour, with 268 feet in the
canal, "a feet on the falls and 81 feet be-
low the locks. The danger line is %
feet at the upper canal gauge, and the
local weather bureau forecasUer believes
this will be passed about noon to-
morrow. The water has reached the
business houses at the foot of Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets and is
several feet deep in many cellars. Goods
stored there were removed several days
ago and the only losses suffered by the
merchants will be the experience of
moving and consequent inconvenience.
With the forewarnings of the weather
bureau, the river banks were cleared of
everything movable and no owners of
property stored there temporarily were
caught mapping, as in past floods.

RICHMOND. April 24.-The coming of
James M. Barr as the first vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Sea-
board Air Line system May l will be an
event i'll the railroad world i'll Virginia.
Mr.. Barr is one of the foremost rail
road men III the country, and the Sea.
board system is considered very fortu-
nate to secure him. In fact, Mr.. Barr
has been much in the public eye during
the past few months, because of the
efforts and rumors of efforts to get him.
He resigned the third vice presidency
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railway to accept higher position with
the Seaboard system. He enters upon
his duties with the Seaboard on May /.
His coming is looked forward to with
interest by all connected with the Sea-
board, and with a degree of concern by
some. Mr.. Barr has earned the reputa-
tion of having most annoying mania
for purging the payrolls of a railroad he
is managing of all whose services can
possibly be dispensed with.
