RACE TUESDAY WAS CLOSE
The Shamrock II Defeated the Sham
rock | by Barely Half a Minute.
SAILED OVER So-MILE COURSE
Fifteen Miles to Windward and
Return.
THE RESULT is A DISAPPOINTMENT

Ryde, Isle OF Wight, May 21.-The
two Shamrocks started today over a
course as nearly as possible similar to
those OF the winuward and leeward
courses of the contests for the Americas
cup. Starting from No Man Fort, the
course was laid Is miles to windward
and return. A moderate, varying breeze
of eight to twelve knots was blowing,
and the water was smooth. S
The racers had preliminary bout as
they beat out from Cowes Roads for the
starting line. The Shamrock star ted
half a mile ahead, but the challenger,
after four long Jacks, closed up and
stayed broad to leeward, holding a
better wind and travelling the faster.
She luffed out to- windward in mag
nificent style; and when she met the
Shamrock /, some one had to give way,
in order to avoid foul. Capt. Wringe
of the Shamrock should have yielded,
but held on, and Capt. Sycsmo ore was
forced to round upSin the wind, to clear
her.
The Erin was awaiting the boats at
No Man Fort, and started them. The
Shamrock III came around ahead of
Fife's boat, and, Immediately after the
signal was given, led her out to fine
start, having au advantage OF probably
half minute. They went of beating
to windward on short tacks, with the
challenger pointing rather the better,
going fast and increasing her lead a
little on every tack. The wind bauled
round a little southerly, but held fair
and STEADY. and the racers slipped along
smoothly and fast The weather cou-
ditions were SUCH, however. as to raise
doubts If they could finish the 30.mile
course within the five and half hours
allowed in cup matches. The condi-
tions seemed TO admirably suit the
challenger. Sbe pointed higher and
footed faster than the other boat, and
gradually edged out to windwardl and
went ahead. Once clear of the island
point, they had a few GROSS taoks in
shore, and the Shamrock dropped into
the wake OF the leader as they fetched
off.
The times at mark off the end of
| the island were as followg.

Water Department Contemplates Negotiate
N ing for the Structure. 'ffh5
The officials of the Water Departm
contemplate negotiating with the
United States Government for the pur-
chase of the old Federal building. at
the southeast corner of Sixth and King
streets, which is directly opposite the
present quarters of the department. 1t
was learned Tuesday that the de-
par tment would rather have the build
ing than build an addition to the
present quarters, permission for which
was recently refused by City Council.
If the board sees fit to buy building
it can do so without the consent OF
Council.
The old Federal Building would be
an admirable place for the offices of the
department. 1t has not been in use, ex-
cent as a bonded warehouse, since it
was vacated by the postofficee officials,
Federal Court and collector OF customst
and it is believed it could be purchased
at reasonable figure. Some altera-
tions would be necessary.

marked increase in the number OF tran

The story which came from Della
ware City Monday to ths effect that
the head of Noah Benson, oolored, who
was murdered nine years ago, had been
found was the result of a joke. While
the trolley road to Delaware City was
being built soma bones were unearthed
from some old unmarked graves Just
outside the town and a skull which
was in good state OF preservation was
secured by George W. Reyhold and
some people who saw it started the re-
port that it was Benson's skull. TIE
skull, it is believed, is that of person
who has been dead much longer than
nine years. ,
