and farther astern. The pace was so
fast that many of the tugs and not a
few of the steam yachts were left be-

The scene at the finish was soul-stir-

canvas, rolling rythmically in the swell,
the Reliance bounded across the view

excursion boats gathered there fairly

Berlin, Aug. 22.-It is announced that
Baron Won Stengel, the Bavarian plen-
ipotentiary in the Bundesrath, has
been appointed secretary of the treas
ury, in succession to Baron Thielmann,
who has resigned owing to the diff
culties connected with carrying out the
reforms in the imperial finances.
Won Thielmanns retirement appears
to have been due to his lack Of in
genuity in finding fresh sources Of reve-
nue. and ways to economize. His usual
expedient was to place fresh loan,
in order to balance the budget.
Imperial 3s rose fractionally to-day,
which was attributed by some news
papers TO the Thielmann's leaving the
finance ministry. His budget state

would be necessary to lay an imperial

various states, was badly received

when the wind suddenly shifted from
south-southwest to south by west,
three points. This placed Reliance in
windward position. 1t was clear
luck and gave the defender a distinct
advantage. Shamrock III held on her
course toward the Jersey shore and
Reliance crossed her bow quarter of
a mile to the windward of her.
Both boats then made short bitches
to the turning mark and Reliance
rounded il three minutes and twenty
seconds in advance of the challenger.
This, with the four seconds loss at
the start, gave Reliance three min
utes and twenty-four seconds clear
gain.
Once around the mark, Reliance
broke out her balloon jb topsail, swung
out her spinnaker pole and broke out
her spinnaker for a run dead before
the wind to the finish line. The spin
maker pole swung out ahead of her
high in the air and the big sail hung
in loose folds across her jib topsail
stay. For a minute it looked as
though she were in serious difficulty.
The pole was hauled aft to its proper
position and the spinnaker began to
do it's work.
Reliance was three-quarters of a mile
ahead when Shamrock III turned the
mark. and broke out her balloon jlb
topsail. The upper part of 1t refused
to break out and still hung in stops,
but only for a few seconds.
During an of the fifteen-mile run
which the yachts covered at a twelve
knot clip, Reliance steadily and per-
sistently crawled away from the now
hopelessly beaten challenger.
Eight minutes and fifty-six seconds
later the plucky challenger followed
her across the line and received the sa-
lutte of the entire fleet. The summary,

The nautical sharps, who had already
made up their minds on Thursday
that the Reliance could take the meas
ure of the challenger in any kind of
weather, regard to-day's test as con-
elusive, although they hardly antici-
pated so overwhelming a victory. The
race even dampened the ardor of Sir
Thomas, who insisted, after Thursdays

Still, like a true sportsman, he does
not acknowledge defeat, and hopes for
better luck next time. The single crit

vantage of the defending yacht. As
this shift of the wind occurred on the
windward beat, even granting that it
accounted for Reliance's lead at the
turn, the time the defender gained on

have given her the race. II must be

The men had a desperate fight on
