 CHEER CROKER
WHEN NAME OF SHEPHERD IS PRESENTED AS MAYoRALTY CANDIDATE HE IS KISSED. CALLS FOR CoLER.

New York, October 3.-Richard Croker received an ovation in the Democratic city convention at Grand Central Palace tonight. Ns.
 On taking the chair George B. Mc- Cleland praised Mayor VanWyck, said the party had no apologies to offer; de- clared partisanship could not be divorced from municipal government; asserted that on the success of this campaign de- pended the election of Democratic gov ernor and a Democratic president and attacked "so- called reform"
 In preamble and resolution the conven- tion placed upon record It's abhorrence of the crime by which President Mckinley was stricken down and its ''detestation of the disgraceful and outrageous attack upon our institutions and our civilization and its respectful and sincere sympathy with the bereaved family"
 When Assistant District Attorney Lit tleton of Brooklyn, placed the name of Edward M. Shepard before the conven- tion as the candidate for mayor cheers for Bird s. Coler came from the gallery and some of the delegates. The Brook lyn delegation was especially vehement for Coler The Shepherd nominating speeches were interrupted and the roll call was perforce abandoned. Chairman McCleland finally announced the nomina- ton of MT. Shepherd and many delegates arose and left the hall
 Wm. J. Ladd, Jr., was then made the nominee for comptroller and Judge Geo M. VanHoesen for president of the Board of Aldermen.
 The platform adopted by the convention declares for Democratic administration of the city; charges the Republican party with a brutal indifference to the interests of the city by denying to it any legislation the right of self government, thus minimizing home rule In the city.
 It denounces "as a sham the pretense at reform which characterizes the com bination made up of Republican partisans and so-called Democrats notorious for their greed for office and embittered against the regular Democratic organiza- tion because of their failures and disap- pointments.''

But gradually it became apparent that the Columbia was overhauling the flying challenger. Slowly, inch by inch and foot by foot, the white boat gained. Both were going at a terrific pace. The patrol feet to leeward steaming ahead at in- tervals of four hundred yards, had no difficulty in keeping the excursion fleet clear of the winged flyers. Everything in the fleet had to crowd on steam to keep the racers in sight, and the gait at which they were going left the tugboats and some of the steam yachts astern.

New York, October 3.-In glorious breeze which heeled the big cup con- testants down until their lee rails were awash, Herreshoffs white wonder, Co lumbia, today beat Watson's British creation over a triangular course of thirty miles by 2 minutes and 52 sec onds actual time. With the 43 seconds which the Irisn sloop must allow the American boat on account of her larger sail plan, the Columbia won the sec onn race of the series by 3 minutes 35 seconds.
 The fastest race ever sailed in cup contest, it was not only royal strug- gle from a spectacular point of view, but 1t was absolutely decisive as to lne merits of the two racing machines. There is not yachting sharp who wit messed the race today who is not firm ly convinced that the defender Is the abler boat, blow high or blow low, beating, reaching or running, and that Sir Thomas and his merry British tars are doomed to return home empty handed.
 Again the ancient piece of silver ware brought across the western ocean fifty years ago is safe. Again Ameri- can supremacy in marine architecture has been vindicated. Sir Thomas has been wishing for a breeze that would bury Shamrock's lee rail, and today he had it, just as he had similar breeze in the concluding race two years ago, when the Columbia, in driving fin- fish. beat the first Shamrock over six minutes.
 WIND STRONG
 AND TRUE.
 The wind today was strong and true, blowing around IS knots out of the northwest and at every point of sail ing. except, perhaps, running before the wind, in which the defender has already taken the measure of the chal- lenger, the Yankee sloop proved herself better than the Watson model. From the time she crossed the starting line one minute and thirty-four seconds behind the cup hunter, until she picked up and passed the Irish boat three miles after rounding the second mark, Columbia s pace was faster and she behaved better than her rival.
 Reaching for the first mark ten miles down tho Long Island shore with the wind abaft tho beam she gained twenty two seconds. In the closer reach for the second stake she gained thirty seconds, and in the thresh to windward on the leg home she gained exactly two minutes.
 The Yankee victory began with the start, when the crafty Barr, by system of maneuvering, convinced his adversary that he was trying to cross the line first. Captain Sycamore promptly took the bait and rushing his boat into position sent her away almost in the smoke of the gun. BARR'S LITTLE
 TRICK WON.
 Thereupon Captain Barr, who had ac- complished his purpose, tackled about back of the line and held off for more than a minute. Then with flying start he went over just before the handicap given was out. Some of the patriots were disappointed until the experts explained that there was no windward berth in a reach where the boats could lay their course straight for the mark and that the position astern, where Barr could keep his eye on every move of his adver- sary, was the commanding one.

WHITE WONDER
 GAINS SLOWLY.

Leaving the first mark on the starboard hand the racers gibed over their big booms and went careening for the second mark, the Columbia gaining slowly, but surely. They had covered the first ten miles in a little over fifty minutes When they swung around the second stake they their wind for the beat home. Both yachts heeled until their underbodies were lifted high over the water and their lee rails dipped foot into the swirling pillows. y
 In five minutes after rounding the sec ond mark it was apparen, that the Co., lumbia was footing faster and pointing higher. She went through Shamrocks lee like a quarter horse. The rush of the Le- viathians on the final tack was magnifl- cent. The excursion boats, black with people from gunwale to pilot house, gath cred about the finish in a great horsehoe. As the white flyer came on with a big bone in her teeth, well In the lead the pa- triotic shippers, with their hands on the whistle cords, could hardly restrain them selves As she swept across the finish the din was deafening. Whistles split the ear and steam sirens walled, drowning the crash of the bands and the cheers of the Until after the gallant Shamrock, beaten but not disgraced, crossed a minute and eighteen seconds later, whistles and sirens were kept going. When they died away the bands could be heard playing "Colum- bia, Gem of the Ocean, Yankee Doodle,'', and other patriotic airs.

LIP SAW
HOPES BLASTED.

Sir Thomas on the Erin did not ap- proach within half a mile of the finish line. He had seen his high hopes blasted and presumably did not care to be in at the jubilation over the defeat of his champion. But like a good game sports man, after the Columbia went over the line, he ran the American flag up to the forepeak and fired a salute in its honor.
 Within half an hour after the conclu- sion of the race, the committee boat. in accordance with the race agreement to daily from now on set a signal for a race tomorrow.
 Sir Thomas was plainly depressed at the result of the race. but stood bravely at the gangway of the Erin and bade cor dial adieu to his guests. When asked what he thought of the race, he said:
 T admit frankly that I got licked by the best boat, in a fair and square race. and maintain and believe that there is not better skipper afioat than Captain Sycamore nor a better crew than mine. and crew as when I came to this side. but they can't do impossibilities.
 1T am very much disappointed at the result, and the only consolation Is that I know that I've been licked by a good, honorable opponent. I know that the wind was true and that the Columbia won without any fiuke.
 "As long as Shamrock's flag flies there is just as much fight in me. and until I'm beaten in the third race, I'm just as hope full
 Captain Sycamore of the Shamrock said:
 We did our best and were fairly beat en by a better boat"

THE RACE
 IN DETAIL.

With the wind forward on the port beam, and with tiny jib topsail set on the Shamrock and a much larger and better pulling sail on the Columbia, the yachts started out on the rirst leg of the triangle of todays race. The gain of the Columbia, which the turn of the first mark proved she had made was almost imperceptible. Toward the mark the wind freshened. The Columbia with a lesser said spread seemed to stand stfffer than her rival. but there was little to choose between them. They smothered along to- ward the mark. and when they rounded 1t. Columbia had gained only 22 seconds. The gybe on both craft was we'll down. Under the same sail as they started, they both stood for the second mark It be- came apparent at the time that the Co., lumbia had sailed over one-half of the second leg, that she had saved her time ana was. barring accidents, a winner.
 Her skipper insisting on nursing her through the squalls, let sher feel the strength of them while the Shamroclx's q larger spread of sail caused her to make imperative luffs or else carry away some- thing. In reaching breeze closer and finer sailing perhaps was never seen
