SHAMROCK
WAS LEADING WHEN THE
JUDGES CALLED YACHT RACE
OFF THIS AFTERNOON.
Furious Gale Last Night, But the Boats
Started With Hardly Enough
Breeze 10 Fill Their Sails, and
When the Race Was Stopped They
Were Fifteen Miles from Home.

New York, Oct. 1.-(Special.)-The
absence of a breeze on Long Island
sound this afternoon probably saved
the Columbia from a %drubbing by the
Shamrock. When the race was declar,
ed OFF at 3:42 the Irish challenger was
leading the Americn yacht a long dis
lance.
Last night a perfect gale blew. which
had spent its fury by morning, and
and when the boats started al 9:45.
there was hardly enough wind to fill
the sails. They ran before what little
wind there was until 3:42, when the
race was declared off. At that time
the boats were fifteen miles away and
had only an hours time to finish with
in the time limit, and the managers de
cided hat they could not finish in thai
time, SO they signaled to quit.
The Shamrock was leading so far
that it would have Deer impossible for
the Columbia to have overtaken her.
The dying out of the wind was a
great disappointment to the people
who had gathered to see the finish, and
particularly to Sir Thomas Upton,
whose gallant ship was carrying his
Colors to a well earned victory.

LINE WILL BUILD FROM LYONS
THROUGH LARAMIE TO
GUERNSEY.
Two Lines Surveyed for the Bur!ing-
ton. and Work Expected to Begin
in the Spring-Cheyenne Paper
Gives the Latest Concerning the
Extensions.

Private advices to Denver men state
that the Burlington has completed the
survey of its extension west from
Guernsey to Salt Lake, and from Ly.
ons. Colo. to a junction with the
Cue nsey extension in Wyoming. says
this mornings Cheyenne Tribune. 1t
Is said that work Oh the two eXten,
sions will m early in the
nouncement it is said that the Burling,
ton will not continue its Big Horn ba.
sin line beyond Cody.
So many statements have been made
of the intention of the Burlington to
build to Salt Lake, and from Lyons
on, that the people have begun to con,
slider it a wolf" cry. However, the
surveyors have completely their work.
and it is expected the official announce,
ment of the extensions will be made
this week.
According to the best information,
the Guernsey line will run almost di.
rectly west to a crossing over the con,
tinental divide in the vicinity of South
Pass, probably using the pass as an
outlet TO the Pacific coast. From that
point the direction will be southwest
to "A crossing of Union Pacific at
Granger. thence southwest through
southern Uinta county into Utah and
to Salt Lake. The Lyons extension
will pass north through Estes park,
thence north northwest through Al.
bany county and Laramie to the
Guernsey extension.
The Lyons extension through Estes
park will open that park to direct rail.
road and will be, it is believed. the
cause of making the park one of the
great tourist resorts of Colorado. The
road. as near as can be learned. will
traverse the park from south to north.
1t is said that the reason why the
Cody line will not be extended to the
Yellowstone park is that the Northern
Pacific. nov heavily interested in the
Burlington. refuses to have the road
built on. as it now has a line to the
Yellowstone via Cinnamon.
The line from Guernsey to Salt Lake
will open a vast tract of territory not
contiguous to a railroad at present.
