YACHT RACE TODAY.

yacht race between "Columbia' -
and "Shamrock H." which will be
sailed today. Last week the two
great single-stickers were put in
dry dock and thoroughly over
hauled. They we're officially
measured Tuesday morning by the
representatives of the New York
Yacht club and Sir Thomas Upton
and we're towed to Sandy Hook in
the afternoon.
Expert opinion is about evenly
divided regarding the winner Of
the race, but satisfaction is univer.
sally expressed that "Constitution'
was abandoned in favor of "Colum.
bia." The latter has been tried
and not found wanting and is
considered a better craft today
than when she defeated the first
shamrock" two years ago. From
five to three on the American boat
the betting has come down to even
money and with plenty of takers
on both sides.

NOT so DEAD AS HE LOOKED.
A corpse sitting up in bed
smoking a cigar was the unusual
sight that greeted an undertaken
of Guthrie, 0. T., last week. The
supposed dead one" was R. D.
Goree, who was shot by Col. H.
B. Howell and his son week pre-
vious. Goree's friends we're salts
fed that he was dead and en-
ployed an undertaken, who hurried
to Mcknight to prepare the
corpse, taking with him embalm-
ing fluids.
The body had been prepared for
him. Goree began to show signs
of life and rapidly recovered. The
undertaken decided that he was not
needed when, instead of corpse,
he left his man sitting up in bed
smoking a cigar.

take surprisingly hopeful view of a
grave situation and of revelations of
an enormously wide field of Boer ac-
tivity. General Dewet is still at
large. Kimberley is isolated. The
Beers are in force enough to have
captured strong position at Helve-
tia, in the Lydenburg district, while
judging from Lord Kitcheners very
recent dispatch, no progress is being
made against the Boer invaders in
Cape Colony.
According to further kilograms re-
ceived yesterday, Zeerust is practic-
ally beseiged, but has provisions
sufficient for five months. The gar
rison at Ottoshoop has been with
drawn to Leightburg.
A dispatch from Carnovan dated
yesterday, reports that the Beers
who have been threatening that point
were driven of and are being pur-
sued.
The past two or three weeks has
seen much trouble for the English
forces and the Beers IN small deter
mined bands are spread over coun-
try hundreds of miles in extent.
From the gates of Pretoria clear
down almost to Cape Town there
have been constant small encounters
with loss of life. Several supply
trains have been captured by the
Beers, and for the first time since
the war the conflict has overflowed
into Cape Colony, which has beer
invaded by numerous bands of Boerl
intent upon causing an uprising d
the Dutch there. *
English papers are calling upor
the government to send so, 900 more
troops.
