A FAST FAIR WEATHER YACHT.
Constitution DemOnstrated This
Completely i'm New York Yacht
Club Cruise.

Completely In New York Yacht
Club Cruise.
New York July 22.-The race be-
tween the Constitution and the Column
bia on Long Island Sound to-day again
demonstrated that the Constitution is
the faster fair weather craft. In a
light breeze and smooth water over a
twenty-one mile course the Columbia
was defeated four minutes and eigh-
teen seconds elapsed time.
The cruise of the New York Yacht
Club opened brilliantly to-day. with the
race for three valuable cups presented
by Commodore Ledyard. Naturally the
principal interest was focused on the
cup defenders, Constitution and Column
bia, which came to the encounter in
thoroughly fit condition.
The water was smooth and the wind
fairly steady from start to finish. The
Constitution started absolutely last of
all the competitors. She overhauled
the hindmost vessel very rapidly AMI
several minutes before the outward
mark was reached lshe held a proud
position in the van. beating the Column
bia four minutes and seven
seconds. Luffins beautifully
round the mark she buckled down to a
pretty thresh to windward and in this
short leg she gained Sc seconds on her
rival. In the last leg she gained six
seconds and romped past the stake
boat a winner of the Commodore's cup.
The extension of the bowsprit of the
Constitution will necessitate a remeas-
urement of the yacht for time allow
ance. Roughly estimated, the Constitu-
ton should allow the Columbia 81 sec
onds over a 21-mile course, so on cor
rected time the Constitution is a win
ner by 3 minutes 27 seconds. 1t should
be also borne in mind that in the run
before the wind the Columbia was IA
vored with a freshefiing breeze which
| helped her to materially lessen the gap
| once nearly a mile wide which separ-
| ated her from her antagonist Had it
not been for this the victory of the
Constitution would have been far more
decisive and convincing.

ply to the Navy Departments inquiry
concerning the use of Maclays his
tory:
Having seen so much in the papers
in regard to the third volume of Ma
clays naval history, and having re-
ceiyed also an official letter from you
on the subject. 1 think. right to put
you in possession of full knowledge
of the case as existing at the Naval
Academy.
There has been no proposition to
adopt the third volume as text book
Or reference book, either from the head
Of Department of English. the Acade-
me Board or any person within my
knowledge.
There is no intention here of re-
curing the cadets to study the history
OF such recent events as in the Span
Eh-American war, and their time is
100 united to require them to study
Iull volume on any one war.
Maclay's naval history was adopted
WIN the consent of the department in
ISS when the English course here was
extended beyond it's former limits.
Ihis Intention not to adopt the third
Yoiume of Maclay's history is entirely
apart from any consideration of it's
salue as history of the war, or of the
knowledge of the facts and criticisms
contained therein. l do not know of

A CALIFORNIA MAYOR SHOT.
Great Excitement mt santa Paula ana
Lynching Threatened.

Santa Paula, Cal, July 22-Mayor
Hugh O'Hara of this place was shot
and probably fatally wounded Sunday
by Charles Waxsmith, an employe of
the Union Oil Well Supply Company.
Since the shooting the town has been
in a state of turmoil, and for time
there was prospect of lynching. A
meeting of 300 angry citizens was held.
and the greatest excitement prevailed,
The crime was vigorously denounced
and measures were taken to rid the
town of Objectionable characters.
The shooting was the result of the
mayors efforts to preserve order among
persons who insisted on fighting in the
streets. Four machinists, Charles
Waxsmith, George Gregg, II. A. Wok-
ley and John Bottoms, are under ar
rest. The mayor ordered the four men
arrested for fighting with a Mexican,
but before they were apprehended
Waxsmith secured a pistol and delib-
erately shot the mayor who was sit
ting in front of his house.
