TODAY'S YACHT RACE.
The Wind Very Light-Lipton Keeps
Up His Courage.

New York Aug. 26-Sir Thomas Lip
ton said, this afternoon, in response to
q telegram hoping that he would win
tomorrow:
Il have not lost hope and shall fight
and die hard. If | cannot win 1 will
take defeat in the proper spirit"
Sir Thomas said in response to
querry as to whether he had asked to
have Il four cornered race between the
Shamrock III, Reliance, Columbia and
Constitution that he had not made any
such suggestion, but if such a PROPOSE
ton was made he would undoubtedly
consider. He did not care to have it
understood that he was taking the in
itiative.
He was very much surprised, this
morning, to learn for the first time
that Shamrock III was Handicapped 10
seconds at the start of yesterdays
race. Being some distance away from
the lightship and seeing nothing but
the official times. last night, he believed
that the Shamrock crossed with the
handicap gun. That's very bad" he
said, but made no other criticism.

ALL HANDS LOST.
Schooner Willie [. Newton
Capsized, tuesday Night.
Crew of Seven Missing--0nly One
Body So Far Recovered.
Owned in lslesboro and Valued AZ
About $4,000.

| South Norwalk Conn, Aug. 26.-The
two-masted coasting schooner Willie
| l.. Newton of Bangor, Me-, was can
| sized six miles east southeast OF
! Green's Reef light, in Long Island
sound, during the storm of last night
AS the craft was completely over
| turned while the sails were being low
cred, it is believed that the entire
crew, numbering probably seven men,
was drowned. One body. that of Capt.
Ward Coombs of North Islesboro. Me-,
has been secured, it having noated out
| of the cabin.
The wreck was sighted by Captain
Walter Miner of the tug Patience of
New York, While towing barges from
New York to Providence. He first saw
a schooner's keel above the water and
being convinced that some craft had
met disaster, anchored his tow and
steamed around the derelict. On de-
termining the fact that a good-sized
schooner had been wrecked, he at
tached line to the keel and brought
the vessel into Wilson's Cove, today.
After the schooner had been an
chored, the tug steamed into NorwaIk.
from which place Captain Miner sent
q message to the owners of the New
ton. The tug then returned to the
schooner and found the body of a man
that had iloated out of the cabin In
the clothing was II letter addressed to
Edward Coombs, at New London. CT.
The postmark showed that the letter
was from North Islesboro. Me. The
body was brought here and viewed by
the medical examiner
Field S. Perdeton and w. S. Pendleton.
Jr., of the firm of Pendleton Brothers of
New York, owners of the schooner ar
rived here, tonight, and identified the body
which Roated out of the cabin of the cap
sized vessel as that of Captain Ward
Coombs of North Islcsboro. Me. Arrange
ments We're made to ship the body by
the midnight train to Captain COMBS
home.
The Pendletons visited the wreck in
Wilson's cove and will make an effort to
raise the vessel and have her towed to
New York for repairs.
No bodies have been recovered EXCEPT
that of the captain.
The condition of the wreck indicates
that the head sails had been blown
away and that the lower sails were
being furled at the time the schooner
was capSized.
The Willie L. Newton was built at
Bangor in 1881, and that was her home
port. She was of S26 net tonnage. She
put into New London on the 22d for
q harbor and sailed from there two
days later for New York.

| All the way down the line it was snap
and go, today, on the fair grounds
| There was life and pleasure to be found
| in every avenue and part of the place.
! Smiles were to be seen on every hand
and there wasn't so much as the sus-
piciOn of moisture in the air to make
persons feel disagreeable. 1t was a
most agreeable change from yester-
day and everyone appreciated and took
advantage OF it. Folks began to pour
into the grounds as soon at the gates
were opened in the morning and they
dldnt stop coming until just before
the close of the show this evening.
There was big crowd here. how many
would be hard to say until the re-
turns have been counted up, which
wont be until late tonight on the first
flling in the morning. 1t was a much
larger attendance than is usual on first
days, as this is but that was due, in
al probabilities, to the fact that all
who had planned to come on the second
days came just the same,
Everything has been booming, to-
day. The@side shows have been doing
land Office business, as have the
retaurantSs and booths where other
kinds of refreshments were disposed of.
The cane boards and other games have
had a good patronage and the pro-
p.ietors OF them have no reason to
complain as to the profits of the day.
e'far The police have not had much
work to do, other than see that people
in fhe crowd didn't get injured and
tosprevent accidents.
No cases of pockctpicking were re-
ported during the day, which was
unusual, where there is so
large a crowd of people gathered and
whore there were such opportunities
for doing tn" work. AS one strolls
about the grounds and sees the women
who have their watches pinned upon
their dresses. in plain sight of every
one, furnishing the easiest kind of u
snap for q man who wished to pinch
one in a crowd and get away scot free,
he can't helping thinking what fools
there are in the world Said u police
officer to the Journal correspondent:
I'D like 10 take about half OF these

the height of folly and they ought to

SUGGESTS ANOTHER
LOCATION FOR MILL.

II Ia pointed out by Cable Cove
property owners that better aud
more convenient location might he
selected for the custom mill which
Ia going to be butt near the Baby
Mckee, mentioned Il day or 80 ago
In The Miner.
A Cable Cove operator has this to
say In regard to the matter:
"While there is no doubt but that
a custom mill, or several for that
matter, In the Cove would not only
pay big returns to the owner, and
greatly aid In the development Of
the district. but II Ia to be questioned
II the location mentined Ia the best
that could be selected, with a view
to accommodating the greatest
number Of properties. II occurs to
me that II the mill were placed
either on the John Day river, at its
confluence with Lake creek, or at
the junction Of Bull and Lake
creeks In the Big Timber Rulch, a
great many more properties could be
more conveniently accommodated.
This would prove. l think, to be
vastly better than the Baby Mckee
location mentioned, for all concerned.
