RELIANCE WINS AGAIN.
In Cup Series S-lIard-FOught
Contest.


Now York, August 25.-Today, in
in glorious whole sail breeze, over
a triangular course, ten miles to a
log, the fleet. footed cup defender,
Reliance, again showed her heels to
Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger,
taking the second race of the cup
series Of 1903 by the narrow margin
of one minute and nineteen seconds.
1t was as pretty and as hard fought
contest as has ever been sailed off
Sandy Hook, and had the wind not
fallen during the last ten minutes,
the record for the course, 3 hours,
IL minutes and Is seconds, made by
Columbia two years ago in her
memorable race against Shamrock
II, would have been broken. AS it
WAS Reliance sailed the thirty miles
within two minutes and thirty nine
seconds of the record, which speaks
wonders for her speed in the wind
that WAS blowing. Reliance's' vic
tory, narrow as it waa, would have
been even smaller, had not Capt.
Wringe, the skipper of the british
ship,
BUNGLED AT TIE START,
sending his craft over the line nine
teen seconds after the last gun and
handicepping her to that extent. At
every point of sailing The defender's
superiority was demonstrated. She
gained one minute and fifty one
seconds in windward work, forty
seconds on the run to the second
mark, and forty five seconds on the
close reach for homo.
Just before the finish the wind
died down, but Reliance went across
in ample time to win, having cover
cd the ten miles in 81 minutes, 40
seconds. Then followed the usual
riot of whistles, mingling the wall of
sirens, the clamor of bells, the exul-
tant shouts of patriots and the boom
ing Of cannon. Shamrock WAS about
mile astern, and crossed 4 minutes
and 10 seconds later to repetition
Of the riot which had welcomed
Reliance's victory. The great
observation fleet headed back to New
York at top speed, not waiting to
follow the racers ill.,

SESSIONS GROW INTERESTING.
ihe work OF the State Sunday School
convention at Greenyille-The
Officers Elected.

ho oSoto.
dreenville, August 26.-The Stat a
Sunday school convention has been
at high tide today, and members saw
it is getting better all the time.
After the encouraging reports from
the officers this morning, Mrs. Mary
Foster Bryner Of Illinois made a
very suggestive talk on "How Pre-
pare My LESSON" wh,oh was fol.
lowed by an interesting report from
the Rev. j. w. She'll of Reidville
upon the international convention at
Denver.
This afternoon the election of Off
GERS was held, resulting in the uuani
nous choice of Prof. e. L. Hughes
OF this CITY for president, j. T.. Tol
bert of Laurens for vice president,
b. W. aetsinger of spartanburg for
secretary, Walter Herbert of Colum.
bla for treasurer, Mrs, M. A. Carlisle
OF Newberry for primary superinten
dent.
Yesterday as chairman of the exc.
cntlve committee, William E. Pei
ham, of Newberry, gave review of
the work of the association during
the past year. He first explained
the extent and character of the organ
'zation; that it was not only inter
denominationaI, but also lnterna.
tlonal, extending over the United
States and all foreign countries. The
South Carolina Association, although
in It's twenty. sixth year, is in it's in
fancy. There are ten counties or
ganlzed in the State. Spartauburg,
Greenville, Lsurens, 'Newberry,
Union, Saluda, Edgefeld, Richland
and Marion counties have held con-
Ventlons. This year there has also
been convention held in Georgetown,
its organization having been per-
tected through the efforts of one man
Marion is the only county organized
according to township associations.
MIR. Pelham spoke of the Importance
Of the International Association, and
said tha every progress made in
Sunday school work was result OF
the work accomplished by the lntor
national Association.
An interesting talk on "The Child
we Teach" by Mrs. Foster Bryner
Of Illinois, field worker of the Inter.
national Association, concluded the
| programme for the first session. Mrs
Bryner ls q very attractive woman
and seems at ease on the rostrum
possesses a pleasing face, clear dis
tiuct voice and whom talking has &
happy expression that at once secures
for her the symathy and close atten.
tion of her hearers.

NEGROES ATE, SENATOR DIDN'T.
Booker Washington Served While Georgi;
Statesmen Looked On.

Atlanta, Ga, August 24.-Booker
Washington and party of forty
negro men and women dined in tue
main dining room of the restaurant
at Hamlet, N. G., yesterday, while
United States Senator A. O. Bacon,
Representative Shackleford, of Clark
County, Joel Hurt and other white
men were invited to get what they
could to eat i'll an improvised dinin <
room arranged III Il side apartment.
They declined.
The negroes were mostly Northern
and women returning home from
the negro convention in Nashville.
The eating house at Hamlet has
the reputation of being one of the
best places along the lines of South
ern railroads, and travelling men say
they never before heard of negroes
being served there.
Hamlet is the regular station
where the Seabonrd Air Line trains
stop for dinner. Just before the
train reached Hamlet q man went
through the coaches and received
the orders
Senator Bacon and others ordered
their meal and when the station was
reached walked leisurely to the din
ing room, which, they found to their
astonishment, was occupied exclu-
slVely by Booker Washington and
his friends. The Senator and others
were invited to be seated in a little
reading room which had been tenn
porarily cleared.
During the meal a number of the
local negroes of Hamlet gathered
around the windows and watched
with delight the movements of Wash
lngton and his friendss as they ate.
When they had finished the negroes
walked out, seated themselves, light
cd cigars and cigarettes and waited
for the train to depart.
