TITUSVILLE FLA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER Z, 1902.
Boat Race at Eau Gallie.

The yachting fraternity of Indian river
have been deeply interested for the past
two or three weeks In the contest that
came off at Eau Gallie on Saturday last
between the lnvincible fishbOat named
Thirty-six, owned by the Indian River d
Lake Worth Fish company, of Fort Pierce,
and the fast raceabout, Canvas Back,
owned by Capt. A. j. Conova, of West
Palm Beach.
The purse between these two boats was
$500, and in addition to this a sweepstake
prize of $50 was subscribed by the citizens
of Eau Gallie which was open to the new
fishboat, Black Diamond, recently built
by the Houstons, for Mr.. Healy, of West
Palm Beach. 1t was understood that
Black Diamond was to be started five
minutes after the other two contestants,
so as not TO interfere with them in their
sailing over the course, and III any
event to give way TO them.
The course was double triangular one
of ten miles with the starting buoy or
boat near the railroad wharf. \ north
easter blowing about thirty miles an hour
seemed to be just the kind of weather the
fish boats wanted, but it proved entirely
too much for the Canvas Back, which is
smooth water and light weather boat.
Then again We believe her rig of lug sail
was very much against her. Had the
weather been about the average eight
mile breeze the contest would have been
very exciting, but az it was Capt. Canova
gave up the race at the second buoy, nav
ing taken in water enough to swamp his
boat and fractured his spar His boat
was almost uncomfortable at times III the
heavy seas and caused him to foul the
north buoy. The race was then between
the two fishbOats for the swecpstake and
was won by Thirty-six in l:l3.
The time table is as follows:
START. FINISH. TINE.
Thirty Six 2l5:O9 3:5l:5O 1861
Canvas Back 216:1I Withdrew.
Black Diamond 2:2O:25 3:5S:I9 1:37:54
Thirty.Six wins swecpstake prize by lib.
The Thirty-six is withdrawn from fur
ther races to be converted into fishing
launch, but her sister, the Black Dia-
mOnd, almost identical in model except
with more dead rise, will probably con-
test against all cOmers and will probably
develop into faster boat She had the
advantage of Thirty-six except in wind
ward work, where the trained crew Ofthe
latter made fine showing.
Thirty-six was most ably handled by
| Frank Houston, one of the best yachts
men OH the east coast, while his brother
George held the helm of the Black Dia-
mond. There was large crowd from
points down the river To witness the race
and tisnhoat stock went high. Me>Sprs

WEATHER AND CROP
CONDITIONS IN WASHINGTON
Extracts From the Climate and Crop
Service Weather Bureau for the
Week Ending July z.

The week was quite cool, averaging
or degrees below normal, and almost
continuous rain fell on three to six days
in the week. 1t began on Tuesday, July
LIST, and continued raining, with
some cessation, until after the 4th, in
some localities until after the 9th. In
some districts it was the heaviest rain
ever known in July. 1t was very I'M
favorable weather for haying; some hay
was badly laid down by heavy rain, and
some that was caught in the windrow
was spoiled. The unprecedented heavy
rain in Whitman and the southeastern
counties badly beat down and lodged
heavy fall wheat and barley, and the in
jury will be considerable. Probably
much of what is down will spring up
again before cutting time, although that
is only about ten days distant. The in
jury to fall wheat and barley was more
than offset by the great benefit to spring
wheat and oats. A long dry spell. with
fresh winds, had seriously threatened
late wheat; indeed, some on light soils
and clay patches had been little in
jured by firing" 1t is thought that
all grain will fill well now, and most
farmers consider a fine wheat crop as
sured.
Another crop that was greatly bene
fitted is the potato crop. \ large yield is
now considered almost certain. Corn is
also improved. All vegetables are now
growing finely. The wet weather has
caused cherries to crack open and rot
badly. Hops are not doing as well as
two weeks ago.
Yakima Country-Siight showers and
cold for the season, retarding fruit, hops
and everything. Outlook for hops not
good. First cut of alfalfa safely stacked.
kittitas Country-Ellensburg-Good
growing week; meadows coming on
finely; alfalfa mostly cut; clover ready
to cut; grain and vegetables doing fairly
we'll.
Up to the first of July the general
weather conditions have contributed
toward a heavy wheat crop; a fine hay
crop; good crop of barley; a splendid
crop of oats; a good yield OF potatoes
a heavy yield OF peaches; a light crop
OF plums. pears, prunes and cherries a
good yield of apples; an ordinary hop
yield and fair general yield of veget-
ables.
