The varied experiences Of the new Cup
defender, the Constitution, and the former
defender. the Columbia. have been most
remarkable The latest race between the
TWO boats was for the Astor Cup, and
resulted in decisive victory for the Col
Umbia. The conditions were those under
which the Constitution was supposed to
be capable Of doing her very best work;
and yet she was not only beaten in the
race as whole, but beaten on every sep
arate leg of the race. So far as one event
can do so, this contest seems to have
demonstrated the Columbia's superiority
II the earlier races the Constitution
showed to better advantage, from which
il is to be inferred either thac she has
lost in form OF that the Columbia has
gained. 1t is now stated that the Con

Cripple Creek, May 15.-The greatest

Albany, N. Y, May 15-So serious is
the condition here tonight over the

returned to the executive maosion.
Two thousand arme1 soldiers are now
within the city limits, more are coming
and $500 are in readiness to move to
Troy when Governor Odell so orders.
The streets are thronged with excited
men and women and the otherwise quiet
day terminated in bloodshed.
A dramatic element was added to the
days features by the sudden death Of
Adjutant General Hoffman.
AS long as the Traction company does
not attempt to move cars or bring IN
non union men, the crowds on the street
remain good natured. EXCEPT for taunt-
ing the soldiers and the police, but the
instant an attempt is made to work on
the lines or bring non-unioD men in the
crowd becomes frenzied and bloods he'd

Citizens sabre-slashed, non. union men
with broken limbs and bloody faces,
women and children trampled under

and leaders IN the crowd beaten with
muskets were come of the results OF the
