NEW YoRK's MILK CRUSADE.
The Health Board Working to Re
duce the Bacteria.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3-There is a fur
ther decrease shown in the weekly report
of the board of health for the week end
ing July q in the number of contag gious
diseases. The total recorded is only 69i
compared with 7S4 in the previous week.
Since the week of May IS, when the rec
ord was 1,S26 cases, the highest of the
year. the number has steadily decreased
to date.
The board of health is now making a
strong effort 10 decrease the danger from
infected milk. There are two kinds of
bacteria in milk. disease producing bac
terra and bacteria of decomposition. The
health department has been working sim
ply TO reduce the former, while the milk
commission is trying to get rid of both.
AS a result of number of recent con-
ferences, the greater part of the milk
used here is to be shipped in cars stocked
with a sufficient supply Of ice to keep the
temperature of the milk at or under 40
degrees while in transportation. This or
der is considered n long step in advance
by the medical and scientific men who are
interested in the Improvement of the
city's milk supply. The health board in
it's efforts to reduce the number of bac-
terra in the milk shipped into the city.
has now fixed the standard at 1000 00o
bacteria. This is reduction from 100000
or 100000. and IT is hoped 10 get 1t down
to 500. 600 during the next year.

THE VERMONT NOT DANGEROUS.
Criticism of the scheme 10 Destroy
the Receiving Ship.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3-In Brooklyn 1t is
now said that the plan to get rid of the
old receiving ship Vermont is due to &
desire to have shore barracks, not to any
thing harmful about the old ship. One of
the officers on the vessel is quoted as say
ing:
"A lot of alarmist microbe specialists
are buncoing the Government into dispos-
ing of vessel that is free from disease,
is just what is required for the purpose
and that cannot be replaced. the tim
bers of this ship are as free from mi
crobes as the plates of the Massachusetts.
and it is shame to destroy her. There
are a number of faddiSts in the navy who
cannot conceive of a human calamity
that is not up to the microbes to explain.
ana hence the ridiculous disposition that
is to be made of this excellent Old vessel.
There has not been a case of sickness
among the crew, not to mention death,
on the Vermont in fifteen years We are
the healthiest lot of men you ever saw.
The Vermont is just such ship is
wanted for the purpose that she is put to.
1t has taken years to get her into her
present shape, and if the Government
were to build a receiving ship It could not
improve on this vessel The substitution
of shore barracks for receiving ships is a
fad of Chief Crowninsheld. and disease
ard microbes are only Il pretext for de-
strUying the Vermont.

THE RACE FAST AND CLOSE
Celumbia's Headway Over the In
dependence Very Small.
Poor Sailing Alone Lost the Contest
to the Boston Nacht-tn Exciting
Match ia IA strong Breeze. Amid n
Sea Crested with white Cups.

NEWPORT. r. l.. Aug 3.-The yacht
race today between the Columbia and the
Independence was the hardest fought and
closest OF any seen between the big boats
in many years. In a breeze that varied
in strength from Is to 25 knots. and in a
tumblng sea, with the waves covered
with white caps the Columbia beat the
Independence. boat for boat, just 40 sec
onds, and. on corrected time, the Column
bia won by l minute and II seconds.
The race was over a triangular course,
ten miles to each leg. The first was to
windward the second a broad reach and
the third close reach. Running to wind
ward the Columbia gained minutes and
90 seconds. Reaching to the second mark,
with the wind over the starboard quar-
ter. the Independence gained L minute
and 35 seconds, and on the close reach
to the finish the Boston boat made a
further gain of So seconds. The last two
legs of the course. twenty-five miles in
all, the Independence sailed in 81 minutes
and seconds, which is a little better than
an average speed of 13 knots an hour.
The independence should have won the
race, but she lost through being poorly
handled. At the starting line she crossed
at the leeward end, but this position was
forced on her in measure through the
Columbia fouling her just as the two were
standing for the line. When near the
first mark, and while the boat was ap-
parently doing very well. Captain Half
gave the Independence a full, and while
the boat footed fast she lost more by sag
gins to leeward than she gained in foot
ing, and in the last mile of the windward
leg she dropped farther behind than she
dld over any part of the ten-nlile beat
ON the broad reach she did very well
but on the last leg she steered wild, and
yawed all over the course. A No. . lib
topsail was used on this leg 1t would
not draw at all. and then, after trying for
some time, it was taken in ana a few
minutes later set again 1t is said by
those on the Independence that their
compass was three points of on this leg
ana that that is the reason why this lib
topSail was used. This, however, will not
account for the wild steering.
The yacht luffed well to the south of
her course and then bore ff-aud, with the
wind abeam laid over so far that the
water was almost up to her mast 1t
looked as if she would carry it away be-
fore she righted, but Captain Half coaxed
the contrary yacht gently and after
awhile she settled down on her course
and then sailed very fast on this leg
The race throughout furnished lots of
material to figure on. In Thursdays race
on the second leg. but with the wind
further aft than ii was in today'S race,
the Columbia beat the independence bad
ly- Today the Independence gained on
the Columbia. In the last leg on Thurs
day the Independence made her big gain,
but today. with the direction of the wind
the same, the course the same, and the
wind stronger. she did not sail as fast as
she did on Thursday.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Aug 3.-Judge

gantic deal for corporate consolidation
which has been planr ed in many years to

He has granted an injunction against the
