IT'S STILL AMERICAS CUP.
First Race Won BY One Minute
y Seconds.
HAS BEEN OURS FIFTY YEARS.

New York. Oct. I'm the closest
and most soul-stirring race ever sailed
for the old Americas cup, the white
flyer Columbia beat the British chal-
lenger over a windward and leeward
course of thirty nautical miles by the
narrow, heart-breaking margin of 80
seconds. AS Lipton's latest aspirant
for cup honors must allow the defender
43 seconds on account of the extra S33
square of canvas in her sail area, the
official record, under the rules, gives
her the victory by one minute and %
seconds.
AS spectacle the contest was superb.
From the time the two slxy-scraping
racers crossed the starting line until
they fed across the finish line four and
half hours later, the result was in
doubt and the excitement aboard the
excursion feet increased until men be-
| came frenzied and women almost hys-
tericaf. So evenly matched were these
| two scientific racing machines that
never after they started were the rival
shippers out of reach of each others
hail, and more than three-quarters of
the time they were so close that Charlie
Barr, who had the tiller aboard the
Columbia, could have tossed a biscuit
to Captain Sycamore on the Shamrock.
For miles, as they beat their way to
the outer mark, the black shadow of
the Shamrock's topsail was painted on
the big mainsaiI of the Columbia, and
for an hour on the run home, with the
yachts flying like scared deer before
the wind, they ran almost beam to
beam, as if they had been harnessed
together.
AS result of the first race, though
faith in the Columbia still remained
In the hearts of the patriots, all the
experts admit that the British boat is
the ablest sloop ever sent to these
waters to lift the 100 guinea cup, which
the old schooner America brought
across the Atlantic fifty years ago, and
that the superiority of American sea-
| manship and American naval architect
ure, as represented by the Defender,
remains to be established

Collins Asks New Trial,

Topeka, Oct. 1.-Coram nobis pro-
ceedings are fled in the Shawnee coun-
ty district court to reopen the John
Henry Collins murder case. The fact
that Collins had no opportunity to
take an appeal at the close of his trial,
is the basis of his action. It was i'm
possible for stenographers to prepare
the transcript during the term of the
court in which he was tried. The trial
lasted month and closed at near the
end of the term. The law requires
that the papers shall be fled during
the term of court in which the trial
was had. Collins asserts that he now
has absolute evidence to show his in
nocence.
