The yachts heeled to a scupper
breeze when the preparatory gun was
fred at 1915. The Columbia far to the
eastward stood down before the wind
for the line. Meanwhile the Shamrock
was circling round the lightship. Be

lunnbia was ahead and not wanting to
cross the line too eagerly, luffed up
with her headsails striking until she

almost with the gun while the COLUMBIA
elected to cross considerably more than
one minute behind. Many experts
thought that the Columbia would be
handicapped but Barr was on the alert
and sent her across in time to save
himself.
With the wind forward on the port
beam and with tiny jibtopsail set on
the Shamrock and a much larger ana
better pulling sail on the Columbia, the
yachts started out on the first leg Oh

the Columbia was gaining or not. m

over less than the challenger and also
appeared to steer a slightly higher
course. The wind though holding true
from north northwest varied in vio-
Ience. Occasionally a heavy squat
would strike one of the racers, caus-

contrary, was allowed to feel the full

ahead. In spite of the larger sail

IT was now a dead beat to windward
to the finish line. The Columbia was
now the leading craft from the mathe-
NAUTICAL point of view. She had gained
on both legs and also had her time al
loWance of AZ seconds to help her. Thus
If she could hold her own to the finish
line the race was hers. In rounding
the mark the boats split tacks, Sham-
rock standing on the starboard tack Tor
a few hundred yards. Columbia went
on the port tack for a while and then
at LOG both were on the starboard
tack Then began a splendid thrash to
windward. The Columbia outpolnted
the Shamrock, but the challenger
seemed to be going a little faster. AT
LIS the Columbia ran like streak OF
lightning through the lee of the Sham
rock luffed out across her bow and for
the first time in the race she was the
leading boat and to WindWard.
At 1.20 both yachts went on the port
tack, standing toward the Long Island
shore. There was little or no difference
between them on this board. At 1.57
both went on the starboard tack for
the finish line. Then came the biggest
puff of all. The Shamrock had three or
four strakes of the deck under water,
but ran risks, hoping to diminish her
defeat or even to win. But it was vain.
She made up little of her leeway, but
the Columbia crossed the line a winner
and to spare.
LONDON, Oct. 9, 10 p. m.-The ex-
tent of Great Britain's disappointment
at the defeat today of the Shamrock

by those who saw the thousands of
spectators lining the Embankment AL
most to a man they were eXpectant of

hopes here almost to pitch of GER
tainty, and many people entertained
the idea that the depression over South
African affairs might be relieved by a
victory of Sir Thomas yacht. The

race so strengthened the impression
that London threatened repetition Of

The crowds greeted the green lights

lead. The crowds stood mute, await
ing the final messages. Americas cup

bankments, and, overlooking the river,

PRESIDENT M'klNLEY.
Birmingham Man Writes Impressions
 of the Late President.

The assassination of President McKin- ley was cruel and dastardly deed; no American will deny this proposition President Mckinley was regarded by q large portion of his countrymen as an exceedingly wise and pure man, and by all as very lovable character. No chief magistrate since George Washington Is SD deeply impressed upon the hearts of the American people. Not because of his imperialism, not because he, more than all other Presidents, destroyed the great fundamental principle of mo taxation without representation" the very ground work of human liberties, for which our ancestors willingly died, nor yet because he tolerated and encouraged the enact ment of legislation by which trusts and monopolies were created and nourished into power so great as to endanger the life of the republic. In spite of these baneful peculiarities he has grown into the hearts of the people Under the spell of Mckinley the American people were slowly but surely learning to disregard the liberty preserving principles that our revered forefathers wrote with their life blood on the throne of George H., and transmitted to their posterity as a preci- ous inheritance.
 He seemed to possess in a wonderful measure the charmed qualities of the syren that sung the unwary watcher into a dangerous sleep, or the beautiful phan- tom that lured the infatuated mariner on to the hidden rocks. President McKin- ley was loved in spite of his politics, solely by reason of his very gracious personality, his ever gentle and generous expressions. Politics out of considera- tion the nineteenth century did not pro- 1 duce a sweeter character.
 Having paid just and sincere tribute to the character of President Mckinley, having uttered the lamentations that were irrepressible, 1t does not seem amiss to draw hat consolation Is possible from the terrible calamity The good and the brave are not without hope even in the darkest hour of diversity. The most ter rible storms that have dragged their dis asters over the fact of the earth leave in their tracks some evidences of the mercy of God When we gaze at the horrid wreck we behold here and there tokens by which we are assured that we are not providential orphans. but are still children of a protecting heavenly Father. In the present instance the patriotic eye eagerly recognizes the providential token in the fact that the cruel ball that slew | our beloved President as effectually slaughtered the authority and political influence of Mark Hanna
 | The writer has great confidence in the ability and determination of President Roosevelt to give the country splendid administration. He may be cratic and impulsive, but if his record is exaimed 1t will be found that he is always guided and guarded by high and patriotic mo- lives. He never joins with the political sang for the accomplishment of question: able results. Unless the exalted position which President Roosevelt unexpectedly finds himself destroys his fine moral mold there will be no baneful influences forcing him.into measures condemned by | his we'll trained conscience.

The Gay Mir. Goldstein.

'sTbe Gay MT Goldstein" will be pre- sented at the Jefferson Theater Satur- day night and the importance of the players who will interpret the farce in which Manager Greenwall introduces three stars, Mary Hampton, Thomas J. Keogh and George C. Boniface. Jr., has caused comment as to the character of the play. Authors treating the Hebrew character for dramatic purposes have al- ways with very few exceptions used the ignorant type, and for this reason many have the idea that ''The Gay MT. Gold stein" is one of the exaggerated. But one cannot harmonize this with the player who interpret the different tales. How ever, while 1t is a stage picture of the humorous Hebrew, 1t does not necessarily have to be of the type that is depicted so much in musical comedies and variety farce. This Mir. Goldstein, while possess ing the dialect and comical propensities in business and In pleasure, Is in an at- mosphere of refined surroundings in which 1t is said the author has seen many possibilities for Imaginable scenes and hap penings. He has materialized his ideas and the management have given him every possibility for the enhancement of the play. Besides the three stars, slch artists as Leonora Gnito, Frances Brooke, Claire Armstrong, Barry Maxwell, Fran cis M. Ball, S. J. Broughton and others will interpret the different characters Every thing in the way of scenic environ ment and properties will be carried by the company.

School Girls Outfit.

Getting the children ready for school in the autumn is not an easy thing to do, particularly if the house mother has her hands and head full of other things, A young woman who strayed Into the resi- dence of a friend yesterday afternoon looked about her in astonishment In the library stood large packing box and trunk, and in small piles beside these lay blankets, curtains, gowns, silver spoons forks and knives: ornaments, musical in- struments, boxes of soap and so on ad indnitum.
 "What fin the world is the matter? Is anyone being married?" asked the vis- itor, breathlessly,
 "Oh, no. I'm only packing Mary's school trousseau," replied the tired-look- ing mother of Mary. as she put mando- lin in the box and then took 1t out to substitute for fl brass andiron.
 Some of the boarding schools of today require a very elaborate outfit. This one asks It's pupils to bring with them even pillows, and a mattress. while in dress everything as recommended'-a pretty standardization a plain black uniform to an elaborate evening toilette for re- captions"
 The mother sighed heavily when the last picture had been packed. and the last vase stored away. T don't wonder you thought this was wedding outfit" she said. '1 honestly believe a marriage wouldn't be any more trouble in a house than getting ones offspring ready to go to Madame F-'s school The other girls shall not go away from home to study. On that point I'm determined. I had al- most rather they go uneducated alto- gether," and she looked so determined that two of the small fry who had wan dered into the room went out and danced an ecstatic war dance at the idea that they were going to be permitted to grow up in complete and perfect ignorance of books.
 However, boarding schools may have improved in curriculum, 1t is pretty ob- vious to the casual reader of their cata- 1ogues that the supplies their pupils are asked to bring with them have not grown less elaborate with the years, nor less expensive.
