NEWPORT. r. l., July 1.-THE Coz
lumbia won today's race IN fine shape.
with the Constitution second AMI the
Independence a remarkably good third.
The Boston boat sailed an exciting race
with the two Herreshoffs and led the
Constitution at the outer mark only to
b. beaten by her a little over two min
utes on the run to the finish before the
wind.
The breeze today was much stronger
than on the previous days. and the In
dependence sailed fifteen miles to wind
ward without her jlb topsail and SEEM
el to hold higher and 4, the same time
footing just as fast.
The result OF today's race leaves the
question Of supremacy Of three 9O-foot-
ers uncertain the Independence being
not so slow after all, while the constl-
tuition has yet to prove her unquestion-
ed superiority to the other two yachts
in anything except very light winds.
The hopes OF the Boston contingent
have therefore gone upward with a
bound, and tonight experts are trying
to figure what the Independence will do
when il blows a little harder.
The Columbia on corrected time beat
the Constitution four minutes and thir-
ty-seven seconds and the Independence
six minutes and fifty-two seconds cor
rected time. The Constitution beat the
Independence over the course two min
utes and fifteen seconds corrected time.

TO INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK.
Virginia Carolina Company Will Go In.
to Cotton Oil Business.

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE Journal
OF Commerce says:
A special meeting Of the stockholders
OF the Virginia Carolina Chemical Co.
has BEEN called tor the near future al
Jersey City to act upon a resolution Of
the directors providing FOR an increase
OF s26.OOO,OO0 in the authorized capital
Of that corporation, thus making the
total capital $4,000, 900. This action is a
result Of the current plans Of the COM
pany in securing cotton oil properties
with a view TO securing supplies Of cot
ton seed meal rom which amm0nia;es
ara derived.
A circular sent to the stockh )ldsrs
by the directors set forth that the COM
pany has been figuring a long time on
some plan by which it could secure the
ammoniates, Of which it consumes about
$s,0OO,O00 worth annually, in the most
economical manner. 1t is pointed out
thar the quantity Of ammoniates alone
would justify the company in going in
10 the cotton seed oil business, but aside
from that it is when properly conduct
ed, intrinsically a profitable business
and would have the further advantage
Of placing the company more closely in
touch with the fertilizer trade.
1t is for the purpose Of buying up es-
tablished mills, or establishing new
ones, that the capital stock Of the COM
pany is to be increased to fifty mil
lions.
The United Cotton Oil Company was
recently Incorporated under New Jersey
laws with Sl2,OO0,OOO capital stock. Pre-
sumably this concern will Je turned
over 10 the Virginia Carolina Chemical
Company.
The cotton oil plants, which, so far
as known, have been acquired by the
Virginia Chemical Company,
include the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany, a S2.OOO,OO0 concern; the Atlantic
Refining Company and the Intsrs; ate
Refining Company. Several crude oil
mills are also said to have been pur-
chased. 1t is so understood that the
company has options on several other
concerns but formal announcement OF
purchase has not been made. The To-
cal representatives of the United Cot
ton Oil Company are not prepared yet
to make any statement about that or
ganiZation.
