BLACK ROCK, Conn. July All the
eight little yachts which are competing in
the Seawanhaka trial races left the Bridge
port Yacht Club float at IL o'clock today
and headed for the starting line. The crews
had apparently forgotten their differences
OF yesterday. when there were threats that
some OF the boats would be withdrawn al
together from the trials on account of the
postpOnement of yesterdays series, and
there was better feeling manifested today.
An hour before noon, the starting time,
the wind was blowing seven knots an hour
from the southwest and conditions general
ly gave promise of good racing day. The
committee laid the course two miles to
windward and return, the yachts to make
three rounds of the course to finish the
race.
Start Made on Time.
The start was made promptly. The pre-
paratory gun was fired at II O'clock and
five minutes later the starting gun sent
the little boats across the line. Crusader
crossed first. with the MassasoIt following
closely. Tecumseh and Seeress were hav-
ing a close contest for third place.
The boats were sent to windward in
breeze blowing about eight miles an hour.
The Tecumseh passed both Crusader and
Massasoit on the run out and turned the
outer mark at 12:i1 well ahead.
The TeCumseh reached the finish line first.
about two lengths ahead of the Massasoit.
and won the first round of the race. The
other yachts were punched considerable
distance behind.
The Second Race.
The second race was started at 1:4j. the
Massa soft crossing the line first with Fill
buster closely following A few minutes
after the start the Tecumseh forged ahead
OF the Filibuster. There was very little
breeze blowing at this time, and the water
was smooth
MaSsaSOis finished first in the second race
at 30. the Tecumseh coming in second
about twenty-three seconds later. The
other boats were well behind and seemed
to be having difficulty with the light wind
just as in the first race of the day.

Americans Searching Russian Ar

Americans Searching Russian Ar
chives at st. Petersburg.
A report from st. Petersburg to the ef-
feet that two agents of the United States
government have been at work in that capi-
tai. seeking Information from the Russian
archives respecting the AlaskanCanadi
boundary, has led the State Department to
make an investigation, for it had not sent
any agents on that errand to Russia It Is
now learned that two Americans. Edwin
and Thomas Baich of Philadelphia, have
been in st. Petersburg looking into the
boundary matter, but acting in a purely
private capacity. They are said to be In

tributed to the literature of the boundary
