breeding associations of the United

Cleveland, June 5-The hundred
mile race from Cleveland to Erie yes
terday between the passenger steamer
Erie, owned by the Buffalo Transit
company, and Tashmoo. Detroit's
crack passenger boat. owned by the
White Star company, was in many re-
spects the most noteworthy race ever
sailed on fresh water. The Erie COW
cred the distance in hours. 10 min
utes and 9 seconds, passing the stake
boat at Erie forty five seconds ahead
of the Tashmoo, beating the latter ~
As seconds. 1t was pronounced by
old vesselmen the prettiest race ever
witnessed.
Aside from winning the speed
championship of the great lakes, the
Erie won 100000 for those who bet
en- her. The conditions under which
the race was sailed were ideal. There
was a fair sky, the sea calm as a pond,
the course lined from start to finish
with excursion boats CT all kinds and
the shores crowded at points with
people The noisy departure Of the
racers at Cleveland was duplicated at
the finish. Whistles footed and peo-
pie cheered both the victor and the
vanquished. Both boats were
stripped to fighting trim. The decks
had been cleared of everything that
would catch wind and on board the
Erie even the life-boats had been
slowed away between the decks. The
limited number of spectators carried
on each boat were confined to the
cabins, none being allowed on the
decks.
Both racers were made as light as
possible. The Erie made no prepare
lions for the race except to unload her
freight after coming to her dock in the
morning. The Tashmoo had been
scraped thoroughly and everything
done to facilitate her speed. From
the start the result was in doubt IN
til few miles of the finish. Each was
surprised at the speed of the other.
The boats approximately made nearly
tWenty-three miles per hour. 1t was
neck and neck from the starting point
until just abreast of Fairport, where
the Erie encountered shore water and
fell three lengths behind her rival.
From Fairport to Ashtabula she made
no perceptible gain but finally picked
up and passed her rival. Tashmoo
sailed by spurts. getting ahead for a
while, then falling back. while the
Erie maintained steady gain,
When the victorious craft entered the
Cleveland harbor last evening on the
return from the race. she was greeted
with a tremendous ovation. Hundreds
of steam whistles along the lake front
and river blew continually for nearly
half an hour while thousands crowded
along the docks wildly cheering.

FARMERS PUBLICATIONS.
Most Popular Matter Furnished by
Uncle Sam.

Washington, June 5.-The new year
book of the department of agriculture,
he most popular publication of this
department of the government, is out.
It is edited by George w. Hill chief
of the division of publication, who, in
a recent talk about the year book and
other government publications of
especial interest to the farmers, has
this to say:
1--WE will now be engaged in fur
nishing our own list with Yearbooks,
while the 100000 remaining will be
sent to the senators and representa-
tives In the appendix to the Year
book may be found all the general in
formation which the farmer would
like to have near at hand; crop re-
ports, statistics of scrop growing,
names of officers of agricultural for
estry. and Bookkeeping societies, of
experiment stations, and vast
amount of information which is valu-
able. During the last fiscal year we
published about 100000 copies of our
various publications; this is an in
crease of 100000 over last year. The
congressional appropriation for the
forthcoming year has stipulated that
each congressman shall receive $4,000
copies of each farmers bulletin In
stead of the 5000 he is now receiving.
For next year my lowest estimate Of
our publications is about 100000.
We have mailing list of about ESQ,
900 persons, which, together with
others receiving copies outside of our
aid-through their senators and repre-
sentatives-and making a low esti-
mate, will bring the number up to
100000 At the present time many of
our documents are wasted; carelessly
thrown aside or misplaced. If paid
for, even at cents apiece, they would
receive more care. The money re-
ceived from the Sale ofythe documents
should be placed in a regular printing
fund to be expended for printing new
bulletins I have also suggested that
each of our publications be sent to a
library to be established at all fourth
class postoffices. There are 10000 Of
these, so that even by that means,
counting the increase which is bound
to come, our books you'd receive a
wide dissemination"

night he had steadfastly refused to be
interviewed. Resuming the topic of
Anglo-American relations, Mr.. Carne-
gle said:
II believe in the community of the
English speaking races by which
means Americans and British are now
closer than ever before. Gould you
get a better instance than the visit of
the delegates of the New York cham
Der of commerce to Windsor last Sat
urday? I suggested it, and King Ed
ward took up the idea thoroughly. 1t
was a fitting commencement of the
new reign. The idea that the visit of
four delegates to Windsor can be in
any way construed as King Edwards
recognition of American commercial
superiority is all nonsense. The king
is full of tact and friendship for our
country"
