CONSTITUTION BEATEN.
Old Columbia Walks Away From Il
New Defender.

OAO SOAu"Dl0 WI tke Away from the
New Defender.
The Columbia gave the Constitution a
good sound beating In Long Island sound
yesterday twice around the Seawanhaka
triangular course. On corrected time the
old boat won by two minutes and Ave Sec
onds. and on elapsed time by one minute
and thirty-nine seconds, but the figures do
not represent the decisiveness OF the CO.
lumbia's victory, for as a matter Of fact
she beat the new boat twice.
The first time around the triangle of
fourteen and three-quarter miles the CO.
lumbia gained over five minutes. Then a
shift Of wind on the short leg across the
sound put the Constitution upon even
terms. when. new race was practically
started, the breeze now coming true again.
This time the Columbia gained over min
ute and a half. 1t was a day of fiuky,
sound breezes, but II either boat got any
advantage from the frequent changes in
the wind it was the Constitution.
1t was at no time a whitecap breeze. and
the sea was smooth, conditions which have
heretofore always favored the Constitu-
ton. The new boat did not seem to have
any Of the speed she has shown in light
airs. She was sluggish on the starting
line, and although the two yachts crossed
almost at the same minute, with one-gun
start, the Columbia romped Off and took
a lead of an eighth of a mile while the
Constitution was getting away.
To be sure. the Constitution was trying a
new mainsail, and it set very badly during
the first round, but 1t kept getting better
and better, and for the last fifteen miles Of
the course was drawing well. Then, too,
the club topsail was almost useless in the
windward work. The club was badly bent
and the canvas did little work when the
Constitution was close hauled. But all this
does not account for her defeat. Even on
the last leg of the race. in close reach for
the home mark, while both boats had ex-
actly the same wind and the Constitutions
sails were apparently drawing for all they

contest less than a month away, yester-
days races reopens the whole cup defender
proposition, and the yachtsmen are guess
ing again.
Mr.. Duncan, on coming ashore to the
club house at Oyster Bay last night, said
that he had no explanations to make for
the defeat of the Constitution, except that

that the sail was almost useless

General Samuel Pearson, representative

consul with having slandered him In his al

The suit grows out Of the attempted blow

The day after the explosion had occurred
Mr.. Vansittart Is charged with having gone

Big Crowd Sees Him OuttrOt Lord
Derby and Charley Herr.
The attendance yesterday at Readviile,
Mass, eclipsed Wednesdays big crowd, not
less than 1900 persons being on the
grounds when the races were called.
Cresceus was the great drawing card.
While no one looked for Lord Derby or
Charley Herr to give him race. a fast
mile was generally expected. Whenever
the champion appeared on the track the
crowd applauded vigorously.
Except for quarter Of mile in the
second heat the race was uninteresting.
The first heat was simply a jog for the
with Lord Derby, trailing behind Cresceus
from two to four lengths the entire mile.
Until the rhree-Quarters was reached III
the second heat 1t looked as though there
would be no more of contest than In
the first mile, but at this point Geers
closed with Derby, and under hard drive
was on even terms with Cresceus upon en-
tering the stretch.
Ketchum was compelled to let his horse
loose, and the pair came on at better than
a 200 clip. 1t was all over In little more
than a sixteenth, however, for Lord Derby
outstepped himself and went to tangled
break Cresceus came home alone, with
undiminished speed. going the last quarter
in 2p% seconds, the fastest last quarter
ever trotted in race.
His mile In 200 reduced the Readville
track record Of 2.O6A, held by The Abbot,
as we'll as the tracks race record Of 2O7k,
made by Cresceus himself In the stallion
race.

Taylor. Mrs. Leizear and daughter and
Mrs. Cookson and daughter, accompanied
the rifemen on their trip. Some of the
more enthusiastic rifiemen proceeded to the
thousand-yard firing point before they had
even gotten the cinders out Of their eyes
and began to rolly Zip pulls-eyes with such
regularity that the Jerseymen were taken
by surprise.
Even a week before the meeting begins
the range presents an appearance almost
equal to that of the past meetings. SO far
as numbers and amount Of shooting arc
concerned.
: The team from the United States Marine
Corps Is already on the ground working
very hard, and bids fair to make hard
fight for the Hilton trophy.
Today has been spent by the District
rifemen In practictng at 500. 300 and LOCO
yards I'm preparation for the Palma team
competition, which begins tomorrow and
ends Saturday. From the scores made In
these two days shoots the ten highest
men will be selected for the team.
II the scores Of today may be taken as a
criterion the chances for the District to
have several men on this team are very
good.
The wind has been blowing a gale all
day, and. considering the fact that our men
have had no opportunity to practice in q
wind at Ordway range, the scores were
excellent. Maj. Young, who is in command
of the men until the arrival OF Maj. Bell

the chief event being a twenty-fve-mile
motor-paced team race. between Harry
Elkes and Jimmy Michael and Bobby Wal
thour and Albert Champion. Elkes and
Michael won. They took the lead at the
start, but Walthour went to the front in
the second mile.
From the fourth to the eleventh mile It
was q duel between him and Ekes: then
the clip became too fast for Walthour. He
lost his pace and was nearly two laps be-
hind when he regained 1t. An accident to
his motor in the seventeenth cost him an
other lap In the nineteenth Elkes lost his
pace and Michael moved up to the front,
maintaining a good lead to the finish
Champion cut no figure during the entire
race. Michael finished the twenty-five miles

The efforts to raise a ransom fund to
secure the release Of Miss Stone, the kid
mapped American missionary now in the
hands of Bulgarian brigands. have already
yielded some results. but not In the
necessary proportion to raise the full
sum in short order. The ransom de-
me nded Is very large, a fortune, in
deed. The first impulse Of every Christian
person is to give toward the rescue of the
imprisoned woman. At the same time the
reflection cannot be avoided that such a
step may be the means Of stimulating
brigandaSe enterprises In this and other
frontier countries. into which missionaries
are being sent. Yet the diplomatic and
physical obstacles in the way Of any other
solution of the problem seem insuperabie
and IN view of this fact it is difficult to
believe that the American people will sit
quietly by and see one of their country
women slain for the lack of the funds
necessary to secure her release. There
Is grave danger that the time is now
too short for effective collecting for the
fund, as the latest reports from Bulgaria
described the bandits as growing murder
ously impatient. In any case, whether
Miss Stone is released through ransom or
is rescued by an expedition for that pur-
pose. or is killed by her captors, 1t is i'm
portant that Immediately after the settle

LOw-Platt.

The mayoralty campaign in New York
has fairly opened, although TammanyS
candidate, Shepard, has not yet been for
mally notified. He has indicated his will
ingness to accept the nomination, and will
soon be in the full swing of the fight, which
contains so many possibilities Of bitter en-
barrassment for him The plans of the
Tammany leaders are just being disclosed
1t is said that as an offset against the we'll
known hostility which Shepard has shown
toward Tammany in the past. the city will
be placarded with the assertion that Seth
Low, now the creature of Platt, assailed
that leader four years ago as savagely as
Shepard ever assailed Tammany. Thus a
parallel will ostensibly be drawn between
the two candidates on the you're another
theory.
The intelligent voter In New York-and 1t
is the intelligent voter who must be relied
upon to awaken and turn the election to-
ward reform-will not be deceived by such
a confusion OF the issues. Seth Low Is not
anybody's Creature" He lost his election
In 1891 because he refused to bow to the
will of the republican leader, who there
upon threw another candidate into the field
in the name of the republican machine
and purposely split the anti-Tammany vote
to defeat Low. If Mr.. Platt's organization
has now named Low 1t is because that or
ganization. whatever may be Mr. Platts
wishes, no longer cares to assume such a
heavy responsibility as the second defeat
Of a good. clean candidate.
Low was chosen to head the fusion of re-
form elements this year because he was
the inevitable candidate, the strongest pos
sible man 10 put up. Shepard was chosen
to lead Tammanys fight because Tammany
wanted to hide behind a pretense of de-
cency. There Is no possible parallel be-
tween Shepard and Low. The former has
5eopardized his good name for the sake of
a candidacy which can bring him only
chagrin and ultimate moral surrender. in
the remote event of victory. The latter
has been chosen by the force of events in
a manner to require no yielding from the
high standards which have always guided
him In his public actions.
The issue In New York Is not between
Croker and Plat nor between Shepard and
Low. 1t Is between Croker and Low II
Shepard wins Croker will still dominate the
metropolis. II Low wins he will govern
the city. II IN order to win for the sake Of
reform his friends are aided by the repub-
lean organization that fact will rebound
TO the credit Of that organization, not pr,-
narily and inevitably to It's profit.
