Mantle, Oct 2.-The Second regiment to-day won the annual shoot of the Connecticut National Guard in one of the most exciting contests ever seen at the state range From the first it was a duel between the Second and Third regiments, first one team leading, then the other. The latter at the close of the short-range shooting led the Second by nine points, but were overtaken and defeated by eleven points in the long range firing. Tn this latter event Cap tain Isbel, of the Blues Second regi- sment, easily outpointed all other com petitors, scoring a total of 34, while the best individual score on the short range was that of Captain Carver, of the Third, who scored 31 points. The best total score was 61 points, made by Ser geant Olcott, of the First regiment.

Defeat UnusuaIly Bitter asa Shamrock
 Victory Was Expected.

London, Oct. 3.-The extent of Great
 Britain's disappointment at the defeat to-day of the Shamrock IT can be thor
 oughly appreciated only by those who
 saw the thousands of spectators lining
 the embankment Almost to a man
 they were expectant of victory. The early editions of the afternoon papers announcing that it was Shamrock IFS
 weather had keyed up hopes here al- most to a pitch of certainty and many people entert aimed the idea that the depression over South African affairs might be relieved by a victory of Sir Thomas yacht The vesesls lead In the early part of the race so strength ened the impression that London threatened a. repetition of Mafeking night. The crowds greeted the green lights on the towers and on the launches which paraded the Thames, with wild delight. But, Columbia's red slowly crept up, and motor cars, with megaphones, dashed up and down the embankment proclaiming Columbias lead The yachts in the Thames re- versed the position of their lights and those on the signal towers were changed. The crowds stood mute, awaiting the final messages. American cup dinners were advertised at the em- bankment hotels and, overlooking the river, many fashionable people dined, watching the moving lights until red, from all sides, was flashed out.
 If we are to be thrashed again." says the Daily Chronicle to-day, i've had rather take our gruel at once and with all the good humor at our command"
 In short, the editorials published this morning do not make the slightest at tempt to explain the defeat.
 AS matter of fact" remarks the Daily Graphic to-day, lon none of the four occasions when the boats have met has the Shamrock II. even been so near the Columbia as to take the time allowance"
 The Standard to-day says: "Appar- ently there was nothing to choose be- tween the contending captains and men in point of judgment and smartness. Therefore, when the result is decided solely by the intrinsic capacities of the yachts, Shamrock II. is a very fine boat | but not quite fine enough for the de- | fender. Yet the interval between them was not great enough for despair" ]

ADMITS A FAIR BEATING.
LIPTON FRANKLY CONFESSES CO.,
 LUMBIA IS THE ABLER BOAT.
Declares Captain sycamore and Ills Crew Took as Much Out of the Sham rock as Possible-No Fault to Find
 With Them-StilI HOpefui-Fee1s for Designer Watson-OpiniOns of the Captains.

| New York; Oct. 3-Sir Thomas Lip 1 ton, although plainly depressed at the | result of the race to-day stood bravely | at the gangway of the Erin and bid a entertained large party of yachtsmen
 and ladies who visited the Erin after
 the days guests had departed.
 When asked what he thought of the race he said: 'I admit frankly that I got licked by the best boat, in a fair and square race, and I maintain and believe that there is not better skip per atloat than Captain Sycamore nor a better crew than mine. l have as much esteem for my captain and crew as when I came to this side, but they cant do impossbilities They took as much out of the boat as could be taken.
 T am very much disappointed at the result" continued Sir Thomas, and the only consolation I have is that I know I've been licked by a good, hon. orable opponent. know that the wind was true and that the Columbia won without any f1uke."
 When asked by visiting yachtsman If he felt Respondent Sir Thomas plucklly replied: As long as the Sham rock flag flies there is just as much fight In me and until I am beaten in the third race I'm just as hopeful"
 Speaking of Designer Watson, Sir Thomas said: ''I feel very much for MT. Watson. He has done his best, and if he does not succeed it is simply because he has a more able man to meet on this side in MT. Herreshoff, He has worked hard for two years on this boat and he has neglected nothing that he thought would help her"
 Sir Thomas said that what he was most disappointed over the defeat of the Shamrock in the windward work. We were all so sure she would do well in that and in such a breeze but she seemed to pound too much, He added that there would be no changes in the trim or the sails of the Shamrock.
 Edwin D. Morgan the Coumbia's manager when seen on board the Park City after the race said: We won against an excellent foe always thought such a day as this would be a Columbia day. Both boats were su- perbly handled. We have now two races against Shamrock, sailed in what was supposed to be Shamrock's weath- CT There was no reason why Sham rock should not win. Therefore I be- lieve the Columbia is the best racing yacht in the world" MT. Morgan said the combination of Jameson and Syca more had been a hard one to beat
 Captain Charles Barr who steered the l Columbia to victory had only this to say: We won the race against very | powerful adversary"
 Captain Sycamore of the Shamrock | simply said: We did our best and were | fairly beaten by better boat"
 Captain Bob Wringe, who sailed l the Shamrock I, in her race against the | Columbia in 1899, said: 'The great sur prise to me was the wonderful wind- ward work of the Columbia I was sure the Shamrock was able to outsail | her in that breeze, but she did not"

and stsered in n Line Parallel With
 the Other Vessels but sHtrting tn. 1 Column-Lteutenant Doyle Tcst.iies tG schiey's Goodness Under Fire. Washington, Oct. 3.--After Lieuten- ant Doyle, formerly of Commodore schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, had completed his testimony before the Schley court of inquiry to-day Captain | William c. Dawson of the marine corps was called and was followed by Lieu tenant Charles w. Dyson of the bureau of steam engineering of the navy de- partment.
 Captain Dawson was signal officer on board the battleship Indiana during the naval enga cement off Santiago and he gave an account from recollection of the behavior of the various ships of the American fleet during the battle. He said the Brooklyn had gone about 1000 yards to the southward before joining in the pursuit of Cervera's ships.
 Lieutenant Dyson was introduced to testify concerning the coal supply of the flying suadron but the court ad journed for the day before he could be heard to any extent.
 Lieutenant Doyle in resuming his tes- timony to-day continued in reply to ques lions by MT. Rayner to give nar- rative of the campaign. MT. Rayner asked whether the Brooklyn had en- gagged in any bombardments during the month of June, 1898, but Judge AdvO- cate Lemly and MT. Hanna objected, on the ground that the question was similar to the question asked yesterday concerning the blockade after the ar rival of Admiral Sampson MT. Rayner said that his purpose was to show only what the Brooklyn had done, and that it did not in any way concern what the New York had done. His purpose, he said, was to show what had been done toward developing the strength of the shore batteries. "I know what the rul- ing of the court means" he said, and bow respectfully to it.
 Admiral Dewey said that if the ques- tion was confined to the Brooklyn there could be no objection. The question was then asked as to what the Brook lyn had learned concerning the shore batteries as a result of any lombard ments in which she had participated in June.
 Before a reply could be given the court retired for consultation. At the conclusion of the conference MT. Ray ner changed his question so as to read as follows:
 What do you know from your own observation in reference to the strength
