party which saw game Of baseball
Sunday in the vicinity of Gordon
Heights. The lads after the first game
amused themselves by placing ball
cartridges on the tracks and allowing
the cars to pass over them. Hammer
was one of the number to stay behind
the crowd that entered the cars and as
the rattle Of the exploding cartridges
sounded upon the air he jumped and
shouted. 81 am shot" An investi-
cation showed that portion of one OF
the cartridges had cut open small
portion of the flesh on the right wrist

For a Fair Trial - Raced
Over Twenty-mlle Tri-
angular Course.

conditions all favorable for fairstrihI,
with the wind fresh and steady, the
course clear of all obstf uotions and no
tides OF any consequence, the Shamrock
l today beat Sir Thomas Lipton's new
boat by five minutes and FIVE second
over a triangular course of about 20
miles. The only, possible DISADVANTAGE
to the challenger was in the fact that
she used her old mainsail, which sets
worse since its salt water bath Of
Thursday. There were no discoverable
holding back Of the challenger, although
once or twice she pointed such course
as left the suspicion that the steersman
was not taking advantage OF every
chance. There is no doubt the result
OF today's trial was distinctly disap-
II ointing to those who had PINNED their
faith to the new challenger. especially
az the Shamrock on the previous
spins had not showed even equality
with the new racer on any point of
sailing, with the exception OF running.
The yachts started from a line out
side Portland Breakwater. A triapgu-
lar course was set thence to the Sham
bles Lightship, to White Nose Point
ard home, about 20 miles.
The Shamrock / led out to good
start length ahead. Capt. Sycamore
hauled in his sheets and tried to reach
through to windward OF the leader, but
Capt Wringe saw the maneuvre and
luffed. and both yachts fetched high to
windward for about1a mile. Finding
1T impossible to pass the old boat on
sthe weather side, the challenger bore
away and crossed her stern. losing some
way. The boats then squared off and
ran right down on the mark, the new
boat leading and holding her distance
without improving 1t.
They rounded the SHAMELESS Light
ship as follows: The Shamrock I, IL

Shamrock ii, IL hours, II minutes,

bow OF her opponent, and every time
the challenger came about Capt.
Wringe hove around atop of her. For
over half the windward turn, be was
able to do this. The breeze held fairly
well. Every sail on the old boat was
drawing finely, and she went through
the water as fast as the challenger.
As the yachts squared away for the
run home. the Shamrock lied by
about minute. Jip topsails were set,
the boats ran back to the finish, and
the Shamrock gave fine display
down the wind. She drew OUT fast and
continuously, and on the run OF 81,
miles gained four minutes.

Beauty IL born in the blood. Beauty
ia more than skin Deep" it is hood
deep. When the blood is tainted by
disease the flesh will feel it and the
skin will show it. Sallow or muddy
complexion, pimples. blotches. and
eruptions are only the surface signs of

complexion powders. may palliate the
evils but they cannot cure the disease
The only cure is to cleanse the blood of
the poisonous matteri which is the
cause OF the outbreak in the flesh and
skin. Impure blood can be absolutely
purified by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Its effect

color. The eyes brighten and sparkle,

MCCORMICK BOY FOUND.
His Body Was Floating in a Creek Near
Ills Home.

His Body Was Floating in n Creek Near
His Home.
New York, May TO- The body Of r.
years old Willie Mccormick, who dis
appeared from his home at Highbridge
six weeks ago, was found today floating
on the surface of Crcmwell's Greek,
not far from the Mccormick home. The
father and sister of the boy identified
the body by the clothing.
Police Captain Titus tonight said !:
"At the present time | am OF the
opinion the boys denth was the result
of an accident There were no marks
of violence on the body, as probably
would have been the cass had the lad
met with foul play. Then, too, IL any
one had thrown the body into the
creek, he would have first weighted it
SO that it would have remained below
the surface of the water. My Theory 10
.that the boy had been playing alone on
the dock and fell into the water, and
there was no one there to save him or
give an alarm. The torn condition Of
zone of the pockets of the boys coat
would indicate that the garment had
caught on some Hnag or q like, under
the water, holding the body down, thus
causing, IL to escape observation. The
masses of senweeds and grasses in the
creek would also tend to keep the body
from coming to the surface. ~
The parents OF the boy and Father
Mullin of the Church OF the Sacred
Heart of Highbridge. who has ta6en
an active intereat 10 the case, said to-
night that they had abandoned the
idea Of foul play, and that they believe
the boy had been accidentally drowned.
Several weeks ago it was reported
that a bog. who louked like n picture
of Willie Mccormick, had been seen
with some men near Bellevue The
police made an investigation, but did
not find the boy.
