overlooked somewhat in these days, when
the more rapid method of transportation by

well as building material and other sup

less expenditure for freight charges than

In the casesof Guy Johnston. bartender.

tention was made that Johnston should be
granted a new trial upon the ground that
the section of the Mann law providing for
the punishment and, revocation of the license

tutional, because the title of law is de-

Judge Hanckel held that while provision

cent decisions of the supreme court that the

Of Johnston's employer is revoked. - 80. b.
Judge Hanckel bases his decision in this
case upon the language Of the supreme

congruous and have natural connection

the title. The constitution is to be literally
construed SO as to uphold the law il prac-
ticable." The case will go to the supreme

Graphic Description by One on an Ac-
companying Tug.
NEW YORK. August 25.-Capt. Barr out
generated his rival, Capt. Wringe. at the
outset. He sent the Reliance across the
starting line one minute and twenty.four
seconds ahead Of Shamrock III.
More than that. the American was full
quarter of a mile to the windward OF the
British boat.
The start of today's race accordingly
lacked all of the thrilling features which
made the beginning Of Saturdays contest
a sight long to be remembered. A few
minutes before the starting gun WAS fired
Shamrock III seemed to go awry. For the
moment 1t appeared that something had
gone wrong aboard.
She overran the committee boat at the
leeward end OF the line. and when the
was away to leeward of the line, and the
handicap gun doomed as the cup hunter
bore down across the line and got away

Official Starting Time.
The official time of the start was:
Renance. uOO:36
Shamrock II......................... 11:O2:0O
The wind at this time was puffy from the
south-southeast, and had not exceeded four
miles.
1t hauled around more to southeast. and
half an hour later had freshened to six
krots.
The excursion fleet was hardly as large as
on Saturday, but the spectacle was imp res
sive.
The patrol feet succeeded, except for a
brief interval, in giving the yachts wide
sea room. Between the first two guns, as
the boats were running along to the lee
ward Of the line, a tank steamer tnterfered
somewhat with the movements Of the
racers.
Capt. Barr Followed Closely.
Four minutes before the start the skipper
of the Irish boat headed for the light ship
and rounded It to port. Captain Barr al
lowed his opponent to go around and then
followed closely. The two yachts ran the
length Of the line close hauled on port
tack.
Barr now and then held his boat Off and
was in position to get over the line in
short order. Meanwhile Shamrock overran
the committee boat Navigator, making the
leeward end of the line.
The starting gun was fired. Reliance
headed for the line, and thirty-six seconds
later was Off on the thrash of the first leg.
shamrock went on away from the line,
and the spectators wondered what 1t all
meant.
Finally the challenger came about and
crossed the line being timed at IL :O2 100 as
she crossed after the handicap gun. The
wind was now out OF the south five to seven
knots. Reliance was a quarter of a mile
to the windward of Shamrock, and appar-

Developed Excitement.
This tack proved to be fully as long as
the first one, and the race was developing
into an exciting contest.
Neither boat seemed to be abfe TO secure
any decided advantage. although the Re-
lance was leading: Shamrock held the
windward position.
At 12:21O5 Reliance went about ON the

weather was thick and 1t was difficult to
