YACHT RACING.
Potomac Boats Sail an Interesting
Contest.

The annual fall yacht race Of boats kept
at Cumberland's boat house was held Sun
day afternoon. The preparatory gun was
fired at 1:55 o'clock. and the six yachts got
over the line five minutes later in one of
the prettiest starts possible, but few feet
separating the contesting craft.
The course was from the boat house,
around the last channel buoy toward the
Long bridge and return, distance Of a
little over four miles. The breeze was
light, but held fairly steady, and the dis
lance was covered in an hour and ten min
utes. Upon the third tack from the starting
line, the Janet took the lead and continued
to widen the gap of water separating her
from the nearest boat, finishing twelve min
utes ahead of the Scat. and twelve and one
quarter minutes ahead of the Startle.
The race was unmarried by single acct
dent or foul. and the handling of the vari-
Gus boats was excellent, no vital errors be-
ing apparent. Perhaps the prettiest con-
test was between the Startle and Scat,
which sailed almost within stones throw of
each other during the entire time, rounded
the lower buoy almost together, the Scat
finishing only fifteen seconds ahead of the
Startle.
The yachts contesting. and their crews,
were as follows:
Scat, H. A Mattill, B. T. Rollins.
Startle, Thos. P. Chapman, Ernest Freese.
Shipjack, Dick Davenport, Guy Glascoe.
Lucy, w. A. Kirkpatrick, Edwin David

This is the first event Of this kind which

Astarita, favorite for the Casanova stakes,
was the victim of such a poor ride at the
hands of Redfern that fourth was the best
she could do, while Cameron and Moon

a bad lot of three-year-old maidens, got so
much the worst Of the starts that they had

up. Redfern had the mount on Moon Daisy.
too, but it appeared that the bad start was
due neither to the boy nor to the starter,
but to the FLY herself, who jumped to the
rail as the barrier rose and refused to run
until Redfern took the whip to her. Then
she ran so fast that, although twenty
lengths behind the last horse when she
started, she finished second to Patronymic
Astarita was supported by her stable
mate Daisy Green in the Casanova, and
the two were heavily backed, but defiant
made the running most of the way, and
gave way only to Wild Thyme, who came
with a good rush from second place and
beat defiant a length. Lyme had a bad
day, and gave Lux Casta such poor ride
that it was wonder she was able to do
as well as third. Lyme had his mount all
over the track. came around on the outside
and finished on the rail. Redfern's ride on
Astarita was sluggish indeed.
Cochran rode Slipthrift so badly in his
last two starts that ]. E. Madden put Red
fern up yesterday. The results reflect
most unpleasantly on Cochran's riding, for
in Redfern's hands the Spendthrift colt ran
a remarkable race, and coming up from
fourth position in the backstretch, he
passed Honolulu, the pacemaker, and col
Jared Royal, who had also beaten Mr.. Mil
lers geldng. The two fought it out under
the whip down the homestretch, but the
pace was terrific, the time showed. and
though Odom rode him hard, Royal weak
ened, and Slipthrift, drawing away in the
last sixteenth, won by a length in the light
ming time of 1:34, which knocks off a full
second and a half from the track record
for seven and half furlongs. Slfpthrift
was backed down from to 1 to to 2.
The steeplechase handicap was easy for
Tip Gallant, newcomer on eastern tracks,
and he won by a length and a half as his
rider pleased. The last race was a gift for
Runnels. who was at a prohibitive price in
the betting.
The stewards have suspended L.. Smith,
alleging dissatisfaction with his ride on
Merry Acrobat in the Rancho del Paso
Handicap last week. and have referred his
case to the Jockey Club for further action.
1t is likely that the stewards have other
offenses against Smith than the one men
toned, for it would be a little harsh to
suspend the boy for any unsatisfactory
showing made by such VIGOROUSLY incon
sistent brute as Merry Acrobat. There have
been several much more fragrant doings by

WAGES OF 100000 RAISED.
Employees of United States Steel Com
pany Get an Advance.

Pittsburg, June 2S.-The largest
voluntary increase ever known in the
wages of 100000 men has been de-
cided upon by the United States Steel
corporation. They will receive an ad-
vance of 10 per cent, which will in
crease the annual pay roll of the steel
corporation by s4.000.o00. The ad-
vance applies to union as well as non
union men. Strictly speaking, the ad-
vance applies to nontonnage men OF
every constituent company Of the cor
poration. This decision has just been
reached by the executive committee of
the United States Steel corporation
after numerous conferences with the
highest officials of the underlying con-
Germs. The first men here to profit
by the increase were those of the
Carnegie company. who were already
working on a private scale. The
next advance will come to the en-
ployes of the American Steel and Wire
plants. The advance has already gone
into effect in the Chicago and Joliet.

EIGHTH WEEK OF MINE STRIKE.
Operators Talk of Break but Men
Remain Confident.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. June 30.-The be.
ginning of the eighth week of the
anthracite miners strike shows no
change in the situation. At President
Mitchell's headquarters, John Fallon
is in charge during Mr.. Mitchell's alb
sence in the west. Mr.. Fallon said
that the miners were just as deter
mined as ever and unless there was
arbitration the strike is destined to
go on. He also denied that there was
any suffering among the strikers. He
said so far there was no privation
and not likely to be any for long
time to come. The local operators
seem to be a unit in saying that a
break in the miners ranks may come
any time now. This belief is based
on reports which the operators claim
to have received from many sources
that the families of many strikers are
In want. An attempt will probably
be made to start at least three wash
cries in the Wyoming district today.
