FAST WORK BY SHAMROCK
TRIAL YESTERDA AGAIN DEMON
 STRATES HER SPEED.
Chc:ienger's Great Spinnaker Set Probably the Largest Ever Put Up by n Ninety ty-FOoter-Yacht Once More Shows Her Ability to Sail Very Fast on Rearh-NIakes Excellent Time in Light Breezes,

New York, Aug. 30.-The Shamrock II went farther to sea to-day than on any of her previous trials in these wa ters, but she did not sail over one of tfe America's cup courses as expected chiefly because there was not enough wind and incidentally because Mr. Jameson. .who is to be the yachts man. ager, had not arrived. Besides there was plenty of sail stretching to do, in- cluding the setting of what is perhaps the biggest splnnaker ever seen on a ninety footer It certainly was a beauty, but there was hardly enough wind to blow the wrinkles out
 During the last hour of the four the yacht was out she again demonstrated her ability to sail very fast on reach; for with a good fresh breeze over her port quarter she travelled for a few miles at the rate of twelve to thirteen knots an hour. In the light breezes during the early part of the spin she made excellent time. He sails, it was noted, fitted much better than on form CT trials. There was hardly wrinkle in the main sail while the club topsail seemed perfection itself.
 Sir Thomas Lipton with Designer Watson and Commodore Hillyard went on board the Shamrock a few minutes before she was ready to sail, and there was a large party on board the Erin.
 Slipping her moorings at il o'clock the Shamrock, under mainsail, club topsail, staysail jib and jib topsail fill ed away on the starboard tack. Round- ing the point of the Hook Captain Syc- amore hauled her close to the wind, which was from the southeast and she fetched to the entrance to Gedney's channel in one tack. There was strong ebb tide running and when at Il 23 she made two tacks of one min ute each she was able to fetch out by the outer buoy of Gedneys and so on out to sea on the starboard tack.

SOME INTER ESTING FACTS JUST
 BROUGHT OUT.
Scheeper's Com undo in Part of Cape Colony Previously Undisturbed by Boers--The Colony Said to be n "Seeth- Complains of Being Heckied by the Government.

| London, Aug. 31.-Some interesting sidelights are thrown on the South
 African war by advices published to- day A dispatch from Cape Town to
 the Daily Mail indicates that Scheep- CTS comamndo has now moved to the southwest and invaded part of Cape Colony previously undisturbed by the Boers, while more severe restrictions have been imposed with the object of preventing communication between Cape Town and the .9wly disturbed areas.
 The Cologne Gazettes correspondent in Cape Town declares that the entire Cape Colony is "seething mass of dis order and alarm" He assert also that
 the Boers are receiving support from
 all sidas Edgar Wallace, writing to the Daily
 Mail, expresses a decided opinion that Lord Kitchener's punishment procla-
 nation will not result in the surrender of a single important commandant, and that much severer penalties are need ed, the only useful policy being vigor- ous military measures.
 In the early part of August corre- spondent of the Morning Post had a long talk with Lord Kitchener, from which he gathered that "it is not Lord Kitchener but the government that is to blame for many of the present evils"
 Lord Kitchener, it seems, complained that the home government continually tA1 hi n1 t,~ttr rio1 lnfn He merely to reply to parliamentary heckling" and that htis compelled him to enforce strict censorship over tele- grams, although personally he objected to the present system. He said he thought correspondents ought to be given greater liberty and to be made responsible for their statements. He avoided expressing any opinion about the Approaching end of the war and dissuaded the correspondent from speaking concerning it.
 Both the Morning Post and the Stan dard give information as to the concen- tration camps and confirm the reports of very heavy mortality there, espe- cially among the children in July. This is said to be largely due to the ig- norance and insanitary habits of the Boers," but conditions are rapidly inn proving At the beginning of August there were 100000 persons in the con- centration camps.
 A correspondent of the Morning Post asserts that the Boer refugees get eighteen pounds in rations per head, as against twelve pounds per head given to British lOyaliStS and he rec ommends as politically and economic ally advisable that the Boers be re moved to the coast.

Record Not Lowered Hubinger's Frn-
 zfer Takes Another Race.

zfer Takes Another Race. Providence, R. T., Aug. 3.-Cresceus failed to lower the worlds trotting rec- ord in his start against time at Mar ragansett Park this afternoon. His time was 2:05 fiat. The attempt to break the record was not made until af- ter o'clock when the wind had died down. The track was smoothed over and was in the best of shape for the champions footing. He scored down once but did not get a good start. The second time down George Ketcham nodded for the word, but Cresceus went off his feet in the stretch and they came down once more. A runner for ward and a hundred watches were snapped on the great chestnut stallion as he shot under the wire He got to the quarter in 31 1-2 seconds, where second runner joined and took up po- sition a length behind the first. The half was reached in 1.02 IA and the quarters in 1884 1-2 and hope of breaking the record was gone, but Cres- ceus came home strong between the two runners, making the last quarter in 30 1-2 seconds and the mile in 2:05 flat
 Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, saw the great mile from the judges stand and he was an interested and en- thusiastic spectator at the races, which he witnessed from box, where he was the guest of Dr. J. F. Sullivan of this city. Summaries:

A NEW CANDIDATE.
COY, SHAW OF IOWA WILL RUN
 FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
Announcement Made by Senator Dolli- yer tn Chicago-RooseveIta Popular Man and Has Hosts of Friends but It Is Not Certain That He is Launching

Boom.
 Chicago, Aug 30,-Senator Deliver, of Iowa, while in Chicago to-day announc- ed that Governor Shaw, of Iowa, will be a candidate for the presidency. The senator also said that Iowa and con- siderable portion of the middle west would be back of Iowas favorite son.
 Senator Delivers announcement was precipitated to-day by the fact that his presence in Chicago was reported to be for the purpose of meeting Vice Presi- dent Roosevelt. Senator Deliver said: "Vice President Roosevelt is a popular man and has hosts of friends, but l do not know whether he is launching any boom for 1904 at this time.
 Iowa has a candidate in the person of Leslie M. Shaw, and my state is back of him solid. I believe we can count upon other support, but the date of the next convention is far off and many things may happen between now and then. Governor Shaw has a strong hold on Iowa and upon the nation. He is a safe, conservative man and man of ability. His reputation is not con- fined to the borders of his own state, and his term of governor of Iowa has been one of the most successful in the history of the commonwealth.

iness- Companies @. and n. Leave on
Saturday.
The arrangements tor the camp of the
State militia are rapidly nearing compile
ton. The camp which is located al
Queenstown, in Queen Anne's county on
the Chester riveT has been officially
named for the Governor and will be
known as camp John Walter Smith
Many tents have been erected at
Queenstown. and temporary sheds for
the company messes and stables for Off
GERS horses and the horses OF Troop A OF
cavalry have been put up. The camp
viii be officially opened next Saturday.
Orders have been issued for the de-
parture of the various troops OF the ma
tional guard for the camp grounds.
The First Regiment. Col Charl,
Mclean, will arrive at the camp IN sec
tons All the companies will reach
camp on Saturday. The two companies
from Annapolis will be carried across the
bay by the Maryland Naval Battalion on
the converted acht SYLVIA.
July II has been officially designated
as Governor day, when Gov. John Wal
ter Smith and members OF his staff will
visit the encampment. There will be
review in honor OF the chief executive OF
the state.
The general feeling among members OF
the guard is that the coming encamp-
menl will be one OF the most instructive
ever held in the state. Many members
OF the militia went South with the volun-
teers and there learned much about camp
life that will stand them in good stead
now. They should not have lost their
knowledge and should be able TO instruct
the new men quickly.
The principal difficulty with the Queens
town encampment will be the lack OF a
proper rife range, where members OF the
various commands can receive insiruc-
ton in small arms practice. Maryland
needs more than anything for her troops
well equipped and accessible rife
range. The range at Queenstown will
allow OF shooting from 200 yards. The
men will have rife practise daily.
The Naval Brigade will practically be
on cruise while the land forces are IN
camp. Both the antiquated Dale and the
converted yacht Sylvia will be anchored
in the Chester river eff Queenstown. and
the sailors will be drilled in firing and
handling their vessels, as well as in land
maneuveTs.
