r New York, Aug. 24.-In a splendid
twelve to ffteen;knot5 breeze over a
Windward and leeward course Of thirty
miles, the gallant sloop Reliance Sat,

1t was royal water fight for the :an-
cient trophy which carries with it the
yachting supremacy of the world, and
by strange coincidence the first vic
tory in the cup series of 1903 occurred
on the ffty-second anniversary Of the
day on which the old schooner Ameri-
ca captured it in her famous race
around the Isle of Wight. Reliance
beat the British boat three minutes
and twenty-four seconds In the thresh
to WindWard and five minutes and
thirty-six seconds in the run down the
wind. s.r 81 .,# ST.,
The nautical sharps who had already
made up their minds on Thursday that
Reliance could take the measure OF
the challenger in any kind of weather;
regard Saturdays test as conclusive,
although they hardly anticipated SO
overwhelming victory. f:
Dampened Lipton's Ardor. !. Il #s #ss
The race even dampened the #ardor
OF Sir Thomas, who insisted after
Thursdays fuke that his confidence in
the beautiful craft designed by Fife
was greater than ever. Still, like a
true sportsman, he does not acknowl-
edge defeat and hopes for better luck
next time. -.5S, za
1t must be conceded, however, that
Shamrock showed herself a wonderful
boat in the beat to windward, perhaps
the ablest craft in this respect ever
sent across the Atlantic on a cup
hunting expedition. For twelve miles
the great single-stickers raced like a
team of horses, and during that por-
tion OF the duel the patriots made no
attempt to conceal their nervousness.
The scene at the finish was soul
stirring.
Under her towering cloud of can
vas, rolling rhythmically in the sway,
Reliance bounded across the viewless
finish line. Excursion boats gathered
there fairly awakened the echoes with
the terrific din which they let loose
Such pandemonium can only be heard
when an American yacht is victorious
in cup race. Then the immense
concourse of vessels waited until
Shamrock, majestic even in defeat,
swept by between the stakeboats. The
reception she received was, if any
thing, more hearty than that accorded
to her successful rival. Such tribute
Americans gladly paid to the true
British sportsman who is so valiantlys
trying to win back the trophy which
the old schooner America captured
from fleet of English yachts fifty-two
years ago Saturday. $ II -.

Sir: AS you know, the charges in
connection with the pOstoffice DEPART

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, who has had placed at his dis
posal by the postmaster general every
resource Of the department. including
the services of Mr.. Robb whom YOU de-
tailed from the department Of Justice to
the postoff1ce department. Immediately
after the removal of Mr. Tyner. AS a
result of this investigation, a number
of indictments have already been had
and it is probable that other indict-
ments Will hereafter be asked for There
can be no greater offence against the
government than a breach of trust on
the part of a public official or the dis
honest management of his Office and of
course, every effort must be exerted to
bring such offenders to punishment by
the utmost rigOr of the law The dis
trict attorneys office of the District of

| amount of work in the office is such as
to make it difficult, without neglectlng
| other important public duties, to de-
| vote all the time necessary to the
| prosecution of these cases. I suggest
| therefore, that if you cannot detail
| some Of your present staff, you appoint
! special assistants in these postoffice
| cases, not only to take up the cases in
| which indictments have been found, or
| hereafter may be found but to examine

and the prosecution of guilty men.
