Shamrock hoisted a tiny jib topsail,
perhaps the smallest ever carried by a
cup yacht 1t answered the purpose
capitally as a steering rail and proved
of great advantage in day SO prolific
of flukes and doldrums.
The preparatory gun was fired at
10:45. At that time both yachts were
on the port tack standing to the south
ward with Shamrock in the lead and
Columbia following in her wake. Ten
minutes later the bang of warning
gong was heard and Columbia, wear
ing sharply round, trimmed her sails
on the other tack, Shamrock crossing
her bow. The Columbia took good care
to secure the weather berth and ten
seconds after the starting gun which
was fired at the dot of eleven. she
crossed the line on the starboard tack
ahead and we'll to the windward. The
Shamrock luffed over the line few
seconds before the gun was hred ana

The official time of the start was:

HANDS OF FOUR COMPANIES
THE CLARKSBURG FUEL COMPANY
CAPITALIZED At THREE
MILLIONS.

Specia, to the Register.
NEW YORk, October 1.-The Clarks-
burg Fuel Company assumed to-day the
ownership and control of the follow
ing mining property in the vicinity of
Ciarksburg, w. Va:
Pinnickinnick Coal Co., Colonial Coal
Co., Purseglove Coal Co.. Park Coal
Co., O'Neil Coal g. Coke Co., Clarks-
burg Coal & Coke Co., Interstate Coal
Co, Dixie Coal Co. and Two Lick Co..
together with thirteen mines and all
the undeveloped coal lands formerly
belonging to these several companies.
The new company is capitalized at
So, o0O, 600, and is Differed as follows:
President James T. Gardiner, New

T. Moore Jackson, Clarksburg; direc-
tors in addition to above, w. II. Bald
win Jr.. walter G. Oakman, Charles

August Belmont. New York, and Q. w.
Wabonm, Fairmont
The tonnage or the present capacity
of the mines approximate a million
gross tons, but new mines VIII be OPP
ened on undeveloped properties.
Most of the mines are along the line
of the Monongahela River Railroad,
lately acquired by the Baltimore

]. n. Camden and the coal Is what Is
known as the Fairmont variety-real-
" an extension across State lines

suits.
The company will work in harmony
with the Fairmont Coal Company,
which is the title of the federated
company, which within the year took
over the mines about Farmont AMI
which is capitalized at five million dol
lars and of which the Watsons of Fair
mont, are the leading spirits.
The latest federation brings all the
coal lands that are developed in the
Monongahela valley practically under
control of the four great corporations
that have been organized during the
last two years. namely:
The Pittsburg Coal Company, capital
lied at $64 900, 600; Monongahela Coal
& Coke Company, capitalized at s40.-
900, 000; the Fairmont Coal Company,
and the Clarksburg Fuel Company.
Apart from these four companies
there are six small independent COM
panies that operate on the river in
Pennsylvania, and the steel manufac-
turing firm of Jones & Laughlins. Lin
tied, and the constituent companies Of
the United States Steel Corporation,
which manufacture coke only and
largely some distance from the river.
