New York, June 25-The stock market
was again extremely irregular in to-
days early dealings Nothing whatever
of any moment had occurred over night
bearing upon the financial situation of
particular stocks, so the market derived
its initial tendency from London, where
declining prices prevailed. The declines
were in no instance severe. and further
more, there were a number of consplc-
uous exceptions to the general tendency
Sugar was notably strong. St. Paul con-
tinued heavy, and Union Pacific was
steady. Nothing confirmatory OF recent
reports bearing upon particular stock
came to light to-day. Rumors that Man
haitian would be leased by another cor
poration continued current, but were
wanting in substantiation.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

The important committee of the
Protestant Episcopal general conven'
ton, now 10 session 10 San Francisco
appointed to arrange an order for the
consideration of proposed legislation,
made its report yesterday morning and
both houses adopted it's schedule.
This will bring the question Of the

canon on marriage and divorce. OO

SATURDAY EVENING. OCT. 8. 1901

TIE RACES between OoiuWDi" NJ"
Shamrock have been won By the Amer
lean boat and the Americas cup, wor
finy years ago, will still remain on thii
side of the water. There were three
races for the cup this yesr-one on last
Saturday, one on Thursday and one OF
Friday. Ga Saturday the Columbis
won By 1 minute and % seconds, OF
Thursday by minutes and 30 seconds
and on Friday by Al seconds. The las
of the three races sailed yesterday
proved the poorest OF the series, for al
tbe wav from the stskebost home u
was a struggle for capful Of wind, snd
what promised at the start to be o Zoe
contest wound up with slow 1nisn'
the Shamrock crossing the line two
seconds ahead OF the defender. AS the
Columbia had time allowance offorty-
seven seconds on account OF the chal-
lenger's greater sail area, the Amerl-
can yacht won the race by forty'one
seconds. Never we're races more close
ly contested and never before was 80
fine a boat as Shamrock II sent over
from England to win the trophy. while
her owner, Sir Thomas Upton, by bis
true, manly ard generous sportsmsnlike
conduot has thatwon admiration from oil
lovers OF sport and caused manyto re-
oret that he was not winner. The
races have hardly shown the Columbia
is faster boat than Shamrock, and as
both boats are practically Of the same
type, the former question of the su-
periority OF the English cutter or OF
the American center-board boat re-
mains unsettled. The Americans Till
within the past few years contended
that the ceuter.bosrd boat had much
the advantage over the cutter build. be-
cause 10 running with the wind the
oepter.board could be raised and thus
much resistance overcome, but recently
they have abandoned this style OF boat
and built their racing yachts more after
the English style, thus abandoning
their ideas on this question. The &C.
ries OF races just closed will always be
memorable as the closest ever sailed for
the cup, aad Sir Thomas, although de-
feated, will 90 home with the satisfac
ton of knowing that his yacht Is thu
abIest foreign boat that ever crossed the
Alta lilo ocean.
