A cold gray dawn at length lighted
up the wreck, and as the chilly rays
ruddied and grew warmer the violence
of the gale began to moderate and the
crested seas lost their cruel whiteness.
The stern half of the galley had been
torn away by the heavy surf and crum-
pied up like a sea urchin's shell, and
with it most of the heavily armored
Spanish officers had disappeared. Per-
haps score, too. of the slaves had
I been washed away and drowned and

While the 2OO-Yard Straight
Away Goes to
Cohen.

Twenty-Five hundred people witnessed
the acquattc sports at Wildwood yester-
Gay afternoon.
The day was ideal for the occasion. The
water was in perfect condition, being -
smooth as glass. The professional races
which made up the greater part Of the
programme were applauded vigorously by
the enthusiastic crowd along the shore
and in the grand stand.
The entry list was much larger than
expected and included several prominent
Twin City athletes. Records were smash
ed right and left. In the fifty-yard
straight away backward contest Arthur
Lee of Midway, made the distance in one
minute fiat, which breaks the old record
for this distance. The race was never
in doubt, as Lee in a few strokes gained
lead OF FIVE yards, which he steadily in
creased to the end
In the long diving contest ]. w. Smith,
of Minneapolis, made an excellent dive,
going 1852 feet under water in the remark
able short time Of forty-one seconds
Charles Shoop, OF ST. Paul, also made a
good showing, covering 102 feet in thirty
five seconds.
The most exciting contest Of the after
noon was the 1O)-yard straight away rae.
Sloan, OF st. Paul and Lee swan a dead
heat for seyenty-five yards, then Lee, not
understanding the conditions under which
the race was teIng run, changed his
stroke to the backward overland move
ment and was declared out of the race
by Referee Hasten. Sloan, who was
some thirty feet in front Of the rest Of
the group, was declared the winner.
The boys race brought out the largest
number of contestants, twenty-five TAX
ing their places at the start. H. Ander-
son, of Lake Shore, won first, and c.
Christensen, of Wildwood. took second
place. The summary:

CLARKE IN GREAT FORM.
Old Man Gives the Matadors "a Touch
of High Life

"Old Man Clarke" put on his working
clothes at Nicollet park, Minneapolis,
yesterday, and for nine innings of base
ball, consuming one hour and forty-five
minutes, had some rare sport with the
Rourke family. Dads temper was not
just right, he being somewhat ruftied by
the baDbling of a number of grand stand
fanatics. But in spite of this the old
boy PITCHED great ball, and fairly made
the opposition look like small fry. MIR.
ID. Clarke not only won his game, but
administered a dose of clean whitewash
to the bull fighters.
The veteran was right up to snuff, be-
ing in magnificent form. Only six times
did the visitors connect with his benders,
but these hits were so scattered that
uhey failed to materialize. The Kidnap-
pers reached third just once, and three
times managed to reach second, but e.
forts to reach the home plate were fu-
tile. Dad" was very effective at critic
al stages. On the other hand the OPP
posing pitchers were batted -fiercely
Herman lasted half round and Payne
pitched good ball for six and one-half
innings. But in the eighth the latter
seemed to have succumbed from the heat
and went to pieces. Two sensational
catches by Belden were features

be as fast in the infield as Higgins or
Holly and is quite a sticker in the bar
gain. With his coming it is probable that
Holly will be sent to the bench to be
used as utility. and Lally will take the
short field.
1t is extremely probable that Higgins
will be seen in the game only at rare
shoulder is said to be III bad shape, and
nothing but a long rest will make 1t
right. Higgins win be greatly missed,
for he has made himself a name with
the fans, through his brillian fielding,
that will never be forgotten. There IS
no question but that Hug is the fast
est second baseman in the business, but
his inability to connect with the leather,
except at rare intervals, will keep him
out of faster company.

The test of the submarine boat Fulton,

scheduled to go down with the boat and
remain at the bottom of the bay fifteen

yet they took leave Of their friends as
though the journey would be a long one
and no one knew that it would not be.
They entered the boat, the man-hole was
closed, made air and water tight, and at
a given signal the spectators saw the
strange craft sink slowly until the dark
waters closed over her It was like low
ering casket into grave.
The success of the experiment was
reported in dispatches Monday. The
men were under water fifteen hours and
suffered no Inconvenience or unpleasant
