Latest scheme to Rob Farmers.

A man calls on farmer and says he wants
to buy potatoes. fruit. or some other crop or
product of the farm that is not quite ready to
be marketed. The man is apparently eager to
purchase and TO pay good price. In order
that he may not be disappointed, he proposes
to draw up little contract. mere memoran-
dunn, he says, by which be can be sure OF his
bargain. He produces fountain pen and
writes out contract on the spot. 1t seems
and is all right SO far as it, wording is con-
cerned, hut it is written with ink that will
fade out entirely In Il short time. While the
farmer is reading the contract, the swindler
deity changes the fountain pen for another
filled with good ink. The farmer signs his
name with this. and when the writing above
it has disappeared. promissory note is writ
ten and, in due time negotiated.

COLUMBIA WINS SECOND
RACE FOB AMERICA CUP.
AGAIN ONE or THE MOST
EXCITING CONTESTS EVER KNOWN
1t Was Sailed In wind Approaching
Gsle-Proves Herso.f the Better Boat
In Both High and Lig mt BreeZe.

1t Was Sailed In wind Approaching
! a Gsle-Proves Herself the Better Boat
In Both High and Light Breszs.
| New York, Oct 3.-'rhe Columbia to.
dav won the second race OF the cup series
crossing the line at 2.15.05 while her
British rival did not cruss till 2.lG.23.
The race was one of the most exciting
ever sailed over any course. On the first
two legs, the Shamrock seemed almost
sure winner. But when the yachts
came to beat to windward the superiority
of the Columbia was clearly shown.
The Shamrock rounded it first and
with the fattening sheets. she held
towards the Jersey shore on the star
board tack for an eighth of mile.
The Columbia, however, lutfed around
the mark and stood off on the port tack.
AS soon as the Columbia had rounded,
the Shamrock also went on the port
tack and in this position the yachts
stood nearly two miles north for more
than 20 minutes. " was the first wind
ward work of the race and the result Of
the contest depended on the respective
merits of the two boats in thrashing TO
windward
at 90 both yachts went about on
the stHrboard tack and stood for the,
Jersey shore, the Columbia lacking
first. The race was as close as ever,
both yachts having taken in their jib
top sails before reaching the second
mark, the preparatory beating up to
the last leg being under three large
sails and their club topsslls. Working
10 the wind the Shamrock was appHr
emily footing very fast. but the Colum-
bia seemed to outpoint her.
The race was sailed In wind that at
times almost approached gale, just
the kind OF breeze that Sir Thomas
had prayed for. Indeed the challenger !
could not have asked for more favorable |
conditions, her skipper having secured
decided advantage in crossing the start |
ing line and there can be no question
that the Columbia is the better boat In
wndward work and seems likely to bold |
her own in what has been considered
Shamrock weather. Another race will
be sailed to day.
1t was with an Is knot breeze not only the
fastest race ever sailed in a cup contest, il
was not only "A royal struggle from a spectac-
u lar point OF view. but it was absolutely de-
cisive as to the merits of the two racing
There WAS not a yachting sharp
who witnessed today's race who is not fully
that the defender is the best boat.
