New York, Oct. 4.-With victory
flags fioating from her towering mast
heads and the ends of her s%preadcrs in
honor of her concluding triumph in the
cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop Co
lumbia returned to her anchorage to-
night under the escort of the entire
excursion fleet.
She to-day completed her defense of
the honored trophy in mother stirring
race with the Shamrock H., over n lee
ward and windward race of thirty
miles, crossing the finish line two sec
onds behind her antagonist, but win
ming on the time allowance conceded
by the Upton boat by forty-one sec
onds.
For the second time the Columbia
has now successfully folled the at
tempt of the Irish knight to wrest
from her possession the cup h n means
the yachting supremacy of the world.
And plucky Sir Thomas Upton, stand
ing on the bridge of the Erin, led his
guests in three hearty cheers for the
successful defender.
"She is the better boat" he said,
land she deserves to be cheered."
The series of races just closed will
always be memorable ms the closest
ever sailed for the cup, n Sir Thorn
ms, although defeated. will go home
with the satisfaction of knowing that
his golden yacht is the ahlest foreign
BOAT that ever crossed the western
ocean.
During both series of races not an
untoward incident has occurred and
Sir Thomas will return to England far
the most popular of all the foreigners
who have challenged for the Americas
trophy.

Its of the yachts it is not to he com
pared with the magnificent, truly run
and royalty fought battles of Saturday
and yesterday. The conditions of the
race at the start to-day were very sim
liar to those of yesterday.
The wind was strong and from the
shore, embroidering the sea with foam
and piling up no swell-ideal condi-
tons for the challenger.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Columbia beat the Shamrock before
the wind last Saturday. the challen-
ger to-day gained slowly. but steadily
all the way out and rounded fOrty-nine
seconds. Immediately after the yachts
actually gained one minute and four
seconds. Immediately after the wachts
turned their noses into the wine for
the beat home the breeze moderated
and turned fluky. The shippers split

} AUGUsTTN DALY's WAY

And by this time the management of the company had been reduced to a very complete routine. If there is any one word that can express Mir Daly's system, it is watchfulness. The French saying that, to insure success, s'the eye of the master" should be everywhere could be applied to him. From whatever source he got his play, whether it were one of his own, one one of his adaptations, Shakespearian or otherwise, or an original work of some other man, the first thing Mr Daily did was to read it to the com pany. He read very we'll, indeed, too. Then he gave out the parts, and re- hearsals began. He was not a severe rehearser, as far as long hours went. We were usually "called" for eleven in the morning in the early days, but later, when Miss Rehan was not so strong, and had to be spared, we would often not begin until after one -after MT Daly's own lunch--and then things would drag on, rather. Often, of course, rehearsals would be called for the general company only, and then we principals would not have to go.
 MT Daly was very exacting in his training of the subordinates and would not tolerate anyone standing about as if uninterested in the action of the piece. I have no wish to set myself up as a critic of his methods, but it sometimes seemed to me that he. had even too much movement in some of his scenes. With us principals he rarely interfered seriously, letting us work out our own ideas of our parts. although everything had to pass his final approval before it could stand, and he would cut out our pets lines at the last moment. if he saw fit. Then, too, he would have sudden inspira- tions. I remember once I had an en- trance to make, and, just as crossed the threshold, something pulled me back. Of course, I threw up my hands and flung back my head, and the effect was comic, and, las it happened, i'll keeping with the part. When turned round to see what had done it, there was the governor" holding on to my gown and laughing. Mrs Gilbert in Scribner's Magazine.

This is a period of evolution, but at present everything seems to be squiescent There are many questions to be looked into between now and the next national campaign" Having served as United States minister to Russia, Judge Tree is naturally much interested in the part Russia is play ing in the Chinese game and has some decidedly pointed opinions on the sub ject, but not for publication.
