Then began the first interesting bit of racing
Of the day. Slowly. but surely the Shamrock
overhauled her rival. In one minute she had
gained an overlap. and in five minutes she had
passed clear through the lee Of the Reliance.
The latter. however. held the better windward
berth, for Barr. with his usual skill at pinch
ing, used every puff to place his boat further
to windward. At 1890 the Shamrock was
nearly eighth Of mile ahead OF the ReIi-
ance, but half the distance to leeward of her
Captain Wrnge took the initiative again at
2:45 by putting the Shamrock about 10 star
board. Barr followed suit just a minute later
placing the Shamrock about four lengths in the
wake Of the Reliance. Again the Shamrock
went through the lee of the American boat but
she lost ground every time by not holding her
lufr as well the Reliance for when the press
tug Edgar Luckenbach crossed the wakes Of
both yachts few minutes later, it was noticed
that the Reliance had a commanding windward
position that would be hard to overcome in such
a light breeze.
For thirteen minutes and ten seconds the
Shamrock was kept on this starboard tack then
she came about. followed by the Reliance in two
seconds 1t took her seven minutes 10 go
through the lee Of the Reliance this time. and
then they both settled down to a board of
twenty six minutes this tack.
When they next came around-Shamroct III
that the American boat had materially both out
footed and outpointed her rival. True she had
a little the best of the light breeze during the
tack. and soon after the Shamrock ran into a
calm streak. while the Reliance held a breeze
that by 1:50 had put the latter yacht more than
half mile in the lead

Both changed their 1ibtopsails at this time,

The House Passed the Assessment
Bills But They Will Not Re-
lieye This Year.

Pierre, Feb. Al. - The principal
business Of the. house Yesterday was
consideration of Carroll's bills. Great
ing a state board of assessment and
giving the state board of eaualiza.
tion unlimited powers to raise as
sessmlents to for the purposes of
equalization. The house wentSinto,
committee Of the whole for Thorough
discussion Of the subject Of revenue,
ID the course of which Chairman
Longstatf, of the committee on .ap-
preparations, made a statement that
the estimated revenue Of the CON-
ing biennial period was eleven humid
red and sixty Thousand. dollars, while
the schedule of appropriations asked
FOR SO far exceeded two millions, and
That as a member Of the committee
he would have to see where. the
revenue was coming from before he.
would consent to report in favor of
the appropriations asked for. andiall
of which seem reasonable.
This was considered as an ultimat-
um from the committee, and IN the
absence of any proposed solution the
committee dissolved and Carroll's
assessment bill was placed on final
passage. 1t contained an emergency
provision and failed to secure the
necessary two-thirds vote, butsupon
reconsideration it was Invested of
the emergency provision and was
passed, having me vote to spare.
The bill if passed by the senate in
its present form will not affect the
assessment for the present year and
thus offers no solution of the revenue
problem.
The equalization. measure was
passed ny Il similar vote and the
house will depend upon the senate to
provide Il remedy for what aiis the
state treasury.
The following bills passed the SEN
ate:
Appropriating 81, 800 for the prose
cution Of criminals in unorgunized
counties.
Relating to the license of ferries.
Appropriating s36 for paying Mary
Kidd for work of the Investigating
board.
Appropriating money for, public
printing.
Annulling the incorporation Of.
cities of less than $500 population.
The insurance measure will be re
ported voluntarily by the committee
today of the valued policy in the
senate and the anti-compacL bill in.
the house. Action will be had on.
both tomorrow. In the senate both.
sides claim votes enough to win.
There are five doubtful men on the
list and they hold the balance Of
power If they will WELD it.

The Local Option Bill.

Pierre, Feb. H. After being,
wrestled with in, committee for near;
a week Senator Closes local option.
bill with strong prohibition features
was sent back to the senate Monday
without recommendation. Three
members Of the committee favored
the bill and three opposed it., while
Williamson, Of Lake, would have
favored the bill except for a string
ent provision which in his estimation
would kill it's force if put in opera
Etion. Aside from containing a local
option feature the bill provides for
the arrest of any saloon keeper on
complaint OF violation Of the laws
and when arrested his goods and
furniture to be confscated without
giving a bond, and If convicted the
goods are to be destroyed. The as
sumption is that If he is not con-
yIcted the goods would be returned,
hut the objection Is urged that
after the man has paid his license
his goods should not be subject to
lc%oniscation until after be is con-
!, : yicted and that the provisions Of this
! sct would make 1T possible to close
4; Temporarily every saloon in the
state. The Rev. MI. Carhart, who
lis the maker of the bill, and also
its champion here, wouldnotconsent
ITO any change in the provision, and
hence the committee reported tito

Watertown special. - Two suits,
one in the sum OF $40, 0OOO and the
other in the sum OF, 1915, 900 have been
filed against Mrs. Sheldon, wife of
5. B. Sheldon, cashier of the First
National bank. The firs5 suit is by
Rev. q. j. Evans, rector Of Trinity

by Mrs. Fddington. wife of G. G..
Eddintgon, a prominent photog "a

The suits are for damages, it being
commended that Mrs. Sheldon wrote
anonymous letters s%landering the
minister and Mrs. Eddington. The
letters were written several months
ago and a handwriting expert in
Minneapolis says they were written
by Mrs. Sheldon without. a doubt,
hence the suits.
Both Mrs. Sheldon and Mrs. Ed

circles and both are vocalists and
have been rivals. They are mem.

rector has resigned, preaching his
last sermon Sunday morning. Both
