spanking breeze over a triangular

and at times had force of about 18
knots. The Shamrock was beaten
over the thirty mile course by two
minutes and fifty-two seconds actual
time, and three minutes and thirty
five seconds corrected time.
The fastest race ever saile1 in q

struggle from spectacular point OF
view, but it was absolutely decisive
as to the merits of the two racing
machines. There is not yachting

New York, Sept. 30.-The str,npe
story OF woman who preferred 70
pass Tor q man was revealed by the
death Of Miss Carolina Hall. Of Boz
ton, a cabin passenger on the steam
ship Citta Di Terino, which arrived
from Naples and other ports on Sun.
day. On the passenger list Miss
Hall appeared - "Mr. Chas Wind
low Hail." and with ahimn ON the
ship was Mrs. Hall. It was not un-
til the former was stricken with ,
mortal illness that the ships sur
geons made the discovery that the
supposed man was . women. Be-
fore that no one suspected that "Mr.
Hall" was not man and "he'' and
his wife were received as such. The
woman addressed her companion a.
''Miss Hall" and spoke Of her n
''my wife,"
The woman was 80 years of age
and is said to have been the only
daughter Of Col. Hall, a well-to-do
retired army officer living in Bos.
ton. She was of slender build, me.
dium height and with a short crop
Of light hair cut pompsdour. She
dressed well and carried hersslf with
the air of man. Her voice and
gestures were masculine. After
"Mr. Hall' was taken ill, the ships
surgeons were called in and then
the secret came out. The patient
begged that it be kept, but the sur
geOns were forced to tell it to the
captain, who, however, did not dis
close it to the ssventy-five cabin
passengers. The surgeons said the
patient was suffering with consump-
tion.
The vessel docked at this port
Sunday and the young woman died
at 2:33 a. M, today. During the
day the coroner's office was notified
and a coroner's physician visited
the ship and held an autopsy on the
body. After this the other woman
telegraphed to Col. Hall, in Bos.
ton. All day long in the saloon OF
the steamer, "Mrs. Hall" sat by the
dead. She was there tonight wait
ing for the dead woman's relatives
to come for the body, She is an
italian of about So years and rather
good-looking. She cannot speak
English and did not seem willing
to tell all the strange story. It was
learned, however, that she had
known "Mr. Hall" for some years
and was we'll aware that her COM
paniOn was woman.
This evening telegram from AL
bert J. Hall was received abroad the
steamship for Miss Carolina Hall,
saying the sender would come to
New York. 1t was dated Boston
Highlands. It was learned tonight
through the Italian woman that
Miss Hall had resided abroad about
ten years and that her companion;
Guisseppina Poriania, had known
her about three years. She thought
men could get along in the world
better than women and therefore
adopted male attire She Travelled
thus with the other for two years
and as she was an artist, went about
the art centres painting and work
ing at her profession. Being a gooe
rifle shot Miss Hall is said to hav,
entered several tournaments anC
won prizes. When she decided t,
come home she asked the ItaliaI
woman to accompany her.
