PRESS BOAT NO TRESPASSER.
Luokenbach warned by the Gresham BE-
cause OF q Nlisundersl anding.

After the start of the race, Mr.. George
Pease. representing the New York Yacht
Club aboard the press tug Edgar F. Lucken-
bach, asked permissi ion Of Commodore
S. Nicholson Kane OF the Regatta Com
mttee to proceed while the Committee tug
Navigator was getting up anchor. Kane
answered:
"Yes, go on. Use your own judgment,
but don't interfere with the yachts
Later Capt. Walker, commodore OF the
revenue cutter fleet, warned the Lucken-
bach to return to her usual place astern of
the Navigator, not knowing that Com
modore Kane had allowed the press boat
any extra privilege.
The Luckenbach did not interfere in any
manner with the yachts or the view of the
Regatta Committee, and when the Navi
gator got under way the Luckenbach
dropped astern.

None Of the big y tohts waited for Sham

for a minute or so at a l2-mie rate, and
occasionally 1t blew so lightly that smoke
from tunnels went skyward to mingle
with the gloom aloft in unbroken columns.
There were shifts of air to the southwark,
but during most OF the contest the wind
blew-or tried to blow--from southeast
to south southeast
THE CLOCK WON OUT.
Nearly all the throng OF watchers wanted
Reliance to make race OF IL. Whenever
the breeze assumed vigor enough to start
tho yachts going at a five-mile pace watches
were taken out and bets were made as to
whether the Yankee would OF would not
get in ahead Of the time limit. The gun
denoting its expiration, fred at 4:s3, caused
a wall among the patriots who had wagered
that Reliance would get 'three straight.
As she crossed the finish line she got the
usual strenuous plaudits, but not in such
volume as on other days.
At the booming OF the time-limit gun
Shamrock's active tars gathered in her
spinnaker. She was hopelessly astern,
and didn't care about making mere exhi-
bition sail
A squadron OF steam yachts and a few
excursion craft courteously waited for the
Briton to reach the lghtship and gave her
greeting And then they steamed on

And now for piping brecze. with the
giant sloops carrying only working topsails,
or no topsails at all! Perhaps that is the
weather that the gallant Brton needs.

There was thrilling brush between
three steam yachts on the way home from
the Reliance Shamrock huke yesterday.
The principals in the tllssle were n. Fl.
Rogers's Kanawha, holder Of the Lvsistrata
cup, emblematic of the championship for
steam vessels; Frank NJ. Smiths Haaoi
and the Mona. owned by William B. Leeds,
all members of the New York Yacht Club.
The course covered by the flying boats
was from Hoffman Island to Governors
Island, and the time was exactly 20
minutes.
The Mona was left about 500 yards be-
hind Each Of the other two boats claims
a victory. The Kanawha folks say they
had a minute ana half the better Of tho
sailing, and those on the Hauoli are quite
sure they gained half a length on the Kama
wha. One of the most earnest rooters on
the Kanawha was Mark Twain.
A strict decision could not be rendered.
because the boats did not start side by side,
nor did they finish on parallel courses
From the tiff the Kanawha and the Hauoli
had on Tuesday the lawful conclusion was
that there would be another yesterday. In
fact word was passed around that II the
Kanawha went down to the course with q
chip on her shoulder. she would find the
Hauol ready for the fray.
Early in the day the boats came toge Their

VIVA asked Capt. Read of the Hauoli if he

master said his party wanted to see the
big sloops finish their race.
The kanawha was stripped and ready
for action. Her boats were swung on the
davits in deck and she was bursting under
n high steam pressure. When she found
that the Huoli would not race she steamed
away in the direction OF Sandy Hook
As the Kanawha sung out her def the

do It,
When the time had elapsed all but five
minutes and she was still nearly mile
away it was plain that II would be no rnce.
At 432 gun was fired on the Navigator
and the flag letter NJ was run up on the
stay. This signified that the time limit had
expired and the race was of for the day.
The Reliance kept on and as she neared
the line the balloon jib topsail was lowered.
She crossed the line at 1880 and received
as much applause from the feet az if she
had won the contest which she had fought
40 hard to win during the five and a half
hours she had been sailing.
just about the time the Reliance finished
the Shamrock lowered her spinnaker.
The tide had set her to the eastward, and
she hauled up somewhat and reached along
with her balloon drawing well, She was
mile and n half astern of the Reliance
when that yacht reached the lightship.
The Shamrock held on for some distance
and then lowered her club tOpsail, and
soon after she reached the lightship she
was taken in tow by the tug Cruiser and
lowed 10 her moorings The Reliance was
lowed in by the Guiding Star.
This race will be sailed again tomorrow
The course will be to windward and return
and those who love the sport of yachting
are wishing for good breeze.

1903, aged sixty-three years, one
month and eighteen days.
His mother died In 1853, and his
father in 1854. He was the ninth of
ten children, Ave of whom were
boys and FIVE girls.
He attended the common schools,
and at the age of 1S years himself
became a teacher in the public
schools.
At the age of 10, In the year 1850,
he came to Kansas, returning East
the same year.
At the breaking out of the war he
enlisted in Co. E, Fifth Ohio Caval'
ry, on October IL, 1861, serving three
years and two months. He again
enlisted In the 18th Ohio Infantry,
March 16, 1895. serving eight
months.
He was in the railway service
from 1865 to 1884. Came to Keelville,
Cherokee county, in December, 1884,
returned to Ohio in 1885, and came
back to Kansas in 1887. He was en-
gagged in farming from 1888 to 1885.

He wac never without a strong
faith in the ultimate redemption OF

ments. He selected the pallbearers
several days before his death, and
they were all members of the Spav.
inaw club, with which he had had
several enjoyable hunts.
Capt. Boyer fought the grim mon
ster about nine months, and al
though the very best of medical
skill wus employed his case was a
hopeless one from the start. Al
times he seemed much better, and
the fore part of last week he was in
better spirits and looked better
than for several weeks.
Capt. Boyer was a man whom all
respected and admired. He was
pleasant, kind and sociable to a de-
gree with everybody. As a hus'
band he was affectionate and solici'
tous; as a neighbor he was a model
Only few days before his death
he was re-appointed postmaster.
