COLUMBIA WINS THIRD RACE
AND RETAINS AMERICAS CUP

New York, Oct. l.-With victory
flags floating from her towering mast
heads and the ends of her spreaders in
honor of her concluding triumph in the
cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop CO.
lumbia returned 10 her anchorage to-
night under the escort of the entire
excursion fleet.
She to-day completed her defense OF
the honored trophy in another stirring
race with the Shamrock H., over a lee
ward and windward race of thirty
miles, crossing the finish line two sec
onds behind her antagonist, but win

by the Upton boat by forty-one Sec

For the second time the Columbia

from her possession the cup that means

"and she deserves to be cheered."

The wind was strong and from the

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Columbia beat the Shamrock before

all the way out and rounded forty-nine
seconds. Immediately after the yachts
actually gained one minute and four

1t was apparently as much to the in
terests of the state as TO the attorneys
Tor the corporations to have the matter
held In that state until a final decision
was rendered
1t Is stated on good authority that
the next step to be taken by the corpor-

injunction restraining county treas

Whether the writ will. be asked of the
supreme Court or from each of the
district judges in the state could not
be ascertained.
Attorney General Post denied yester-
day that he instructed the members of
the State Board of Assessors to certi-
fy out their corporate property alb
stracts of assessments. He said he
went before the board, explained the
status of the case and said that while
1t might be contempt of court to act
as they finally did, that the exigencies
of the states financial condition were
mitigating circumstances sufficient to
counterbalance any disrespect which
the court might think had been shown

that; that confinement in the county
jail would probably not be resorted to
by the judge.
Assessors Alexander and Thompson
stated yesterday afternoon that At

wise them to do as they did; that they
did 1t solely upon his recommendation.

A sensational elopement after the
fashion set by the Princess Chimay
has occurred at Balaton Fuered, a
summer resort in the Carpathians
Among the visitors were Prince Ivan
Semonoffski, described as a descend
ant of the former kings of Lithuania,
with his two sons and a daughter, aged
19. Their Highnesses were in the hab-
1t OF visiting garden restaurant,
where Magyar gypsy orchestra
played. One evening Princess Olga
Semonoffski eloped with one of these
musicians. an ugly, repulsive man, 49
years of age. Prince Semonoffski and
his two sons gave chase, but did not
overtake the fugitives till next even
ing. They administered chastisement
to the man, which he is likely to re-
member for his life. and gave the prin-
cess loaded revolver, telling her she
had dishonored their name. She COM
mitted suicide Immediately, and was
buried without much ceremony in the
remote village where she was overtak-

While a number of workmen were
executing repairs at the Palais du Lux
embourg they discovered number of
valuable paintings concealed behind
tapestry. The quaestor of the senate
had them examined. and it was found
that they are portraits of the three
first presidents Of the old Parliament
of Paris and Of De Thou, the famous
judge who lived century and half
ago. 1t is thought that these portraits
were placed behind the tapestry during
the Revolution in order to preserve
them, and that they have remained
there ever since.

4 Big Pie Display.

The greatest pie display of which
history tells us took place in 1909, at
dinner given after the funeral of AL
brecht w., king of Bavaria, at the roy
al palace in Munich. There were seven
great pies upon the table, representing
the seven ages of the world The first
pie was made of apples. 1t represented
Adam and Eve, the tree of knowledge,
the snake and the apple. The pictures
were made upon the crust with confec-
tions of sugar and almonds.
Another pie was made of doves and
bore II wonderful representation of
Noah's ark in its center, while round
the edge We're placed figures of every
created thing. A key went with this
pie i'll order that it might be determin-
ed what these figures We're intended to
represent.
Upon the crust of these wonderful
pastries appeared the tableaux of Abra-
ham sacrificing Isaac, David Staying
Goliath, the ravens feeding Elijah, Sam
son tearing open the jaws of the lion,
and the last and most wonderful of all
the pies when opened was found to
contain four living birds, which all be-
gan to sing.
