THE YACHT CRUISE ENDED.
Closing Races of the New York Club
Squadron.

NEWPORT, r. l., July 30-With the
race this morning for the Owl and Game
Cock colors. and for launches. the events
of the New York Yacht Club cruise came
to an end. The squadron, however. will
not disbapd until tomorrow morning. hay-
ing been invited TO participate in the
Newport fete. The part which the squad
ron will play will be at night, when they
begin to illuminate the harbor. Launches
laden with fireworks and red fire and the
like were flying from the New York Yacht
Club station to the yachts all morning.
There was a heavy sea fog making in,
however, and this, with a light drizzlIng
rain tended to dampen the enthusiasm
which was SO rampant last night
Columbias S defeat OF the Constitution is
the one topic of conversation among
yachting men in Newport today. 1t is not
easy for friends of the Constitution to
make excuses for her defeat She was
beaten fairly and squarely in good top
sail breeze and there is little to say be-
yond that. AT the start in the run before
the wind the Constitution at first ran
away from the Columbia. but when the
wind freshened of Point Judith. the Co
Iuuibia brought it up with her and slowly,
but surely. overhauled the new defender.
After the race Mr.. Duncan said that he
had no excuse to offer. On windward
work. he said, the yacht did poorly. and
there was some trouble with the mainsail
that prevented the yacht from pointing
or footing He -said-the new yacht would
not sail another race until her rig has
been changed She will leave for Bristol
today. The sail pEan will not be changed.
but the mast will be heightened five feet
and the toprnast shortened. There will
but by lengthening the mast it Is thought
that the peak halliards will be given a
better lead and the gam thus kept in
board. The trouble with the mainsail is
thought to be due to the gaff swinging
too far out board. The change will take
from one week to ten days The Colum-
bla and Independence will thus have the
struggle to themselves in next Thursdays
and Saturdays races.
The Columbia is sailing wonderfully well
now. and after yesterdays race the gen.
eral opinion was that in stiff wind the
Columbia at present is the swiftest yacht
anoat.

HENLEY RACERS RETURN.
Members of the Pennsylvania Crew
Arriye- From England.

NEW YORK, July 3a.--Four representa-
tives of the University of Pennsylvania,
whose crew beat two English eighes at
Henley-on-the-Thaune and were only
narrowly beaten by the Leanders arrived
here today on thet steamship Yaderiand
from Southampton.
Those. who returned Were f. F. Ward.
coach; A. II. Fiickwir. captain; R. l..
Hart, graduate manager, and II. A
Fuller, who acted as advance agent.
We had very, successful trip said
Mr.. Ward, and were well treated all the
way. We think we made the best show
ing of any crew that has been across.
We won two straight heats and all We
have to regret is that We didn't get that
extra boats length against Leander.'
What did you learn over there that
will help you in future?"
Well. really nothing. I am better sat
isfed than ever with our methods and see
no reason for any changes. The difficult
ty was that we were against better men,
who beat us fairly and squarely, that's
ALL What we want to have to win over
there is a graduate crew. That's what
Leander is and it means practically a pick
of English oarsmen. The average age of
the Leander crew is tyenty-seven or
crew could be organized at Pennsylvania
and then we would stand a good chance
of winning"
Speaking of the stroke used by the Eng
lish oarsmen, Mr.. Ward said: The Eng
lish stroke. as l saw it at Henley. is par
tfcular rly hard on the oarSmen using it,
and the crews In every instance finished
in much more exhausted condition than
the Americans. And while under certain
circumstances 1t may be faster than the
various American strokes. it would never
do for a four-mile course. such as the
American colleges are accustomed to row.
English oarsmen begin as boys to develop
the special muscles used in this stroke,
and that in view Of the fact that the
Henley course is only one mile and $50
yards.
I'm our first two heats we met the Lon
don Rowing Club and the Thames Row
ing Club. both of which we defeated east
ly In the final heat we We're beaten by
the Leander crew by a little more than
length because they were better crew
I'm a number Of respects for the short dis
tance.'
Mr. Ward said that the English climate
did not interfere with the condition of
his men in the least and that, in spite
of reports to the contrary. they were in
good shape for all the races.
Il don't know that | can add anything
to what Mr. Ward has told you" replied
Captain F'Hckwir, when asked about his
experience We had fine time and the
rest Of the boys are still abroad. Most
of them won't be back until college opens

MAY BE SETTLED BY PAY DAY
The Trouble at "a Local Factory Re
Iieycd 10 BE Nearly mt an End.

It is expected that the trouble between
the Cahnl Writing Machine Company and
the machinists and helpers in its en-
ploy will be in part settled today when
the employees are paid what wages are
due them. Some misapprehension has ex-
listed regarding the trouble. The report
has become current that a strike was on.
Such. however. is not the case. The en-
ployes were laid of because Of the in
ability of the Grm 10 pay their wages.
This fact was announced to them on Sat
urday last. Monday afternoon a meeting
Of the board OF directors was held. and
the meeting continued yesterday after
noon.
A member of the firm stated last night
that all the employees would receive their
pay today. Whether or not they would
go back to work has not yet been fully
determined. but a definite announcement
regarding that point may be made to-
day
About forty machinists and helpers are
affected. Some time ago. when the great
machinsts' strike went into effect the
Cnhiil machinists were out. They gained
the concession of a nine-hour day scale,
and returned to work.

Strange story Told in "A suit to An
null Marriage.

PHILADELPHIA. July Ga sensa-
tional story of a forced marriage which
the youthful bride is now endeavoring to
have annuled so that she can marry the
young man she loves is unfolded in pa
pers prepared by Prosecutor Frank T.
Lloyd, of Camden. counsel for Mrs Caro-
line Haas. nee Thomas, who says she un-
willingly became the bride of George
Haas. a well-to-do Philadelphian. a Sun
day school teacher. and member of the
Scotch Presbyterian Church.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Haas. who
lived at 1917 South Eleventh Street. this
city, informally adopted Caroline Thorn
as, who was then four years old After
living with them for some time. the child
was known as Mamie Haas and called
her foster parents father and mother.
About two months ago Mrs. Haas died
and two days after her death Haas pro-
posed marriage to the young girl She
Indignantly spurned his offer and told
her foster father she was engaged to be
married to Robert Van Blunk. of Pitt
man Grove, and could not think of mar
rying a man whom she looked upon as
her father.
The foster father did not press the suit,
but on July he asked Mamie to go on
visit to his sister. Mrs. Barbara Drexler.
of 3Sl East Seventy-seventh Street, New
York. He also persuaded a young lady
named Bessie Brown, who boarded with
them, to accompany them on the trip
The young girls asseEted, and dressing
cases and grips were purchased They
reached New York City on July l, and
proceeded Immediately to the house of
Mrs. Drexler. After being in the house
some time, Mrs. Drexler, it is claimed,
said to Mamie:
Why don't you get married right
here?"
''Oh, no; am going to be married on
July 16," replied Mamie, and. displayed her
engagement ring.
We'll. l guess not" Mrs. Drexler is
alleged to have remarked. You are going
to marry my brother right in this house"
At this iuncture Haas came in and
Mamie AYERS he had said:
Eve will have no more business like
that l have got a pistol in my pocket.
and l will kill you on the spot if you do
not consent to Re married"
Mamie then consented to the ceremony,
and during the day wrote a despatch to
Robert Van Blunk, telling him of her
predfcanent. The message was sent by
Bessie. her friend. This was on July 4.
Van Bunk receiyed1Ihe message early in
the morning and proceeded at once to
New York. He at,once went to the house
and informed HaasTef his mission. Haas
came to him with-a ring and told Van
Bunk that Mamieyhad given him up and
that the engagement was broken.
1t is further recited that on July Haas
and Mrs. Drexler told Mamie that she
must be married that night, and they
took her to a church on East Seventy
second Street. Before going into the
church Haas told Mamie. she says, that
if she refused TO answer the short re-
sponses he would shoot her at the altar
The ceremony was performed.
Three days later the girl made her es-
cape and came to Pittman Grove, where
she narrated the circumstances to Van
Bunk, which resulted in the above pro-
ceedings.
AS soon as the case is decided by the
Court of Common Pleas in this city,
where the suit was entered, Van Bunk
will marry his sweetheart.
