Great Interest In Trial Spin of
the Reliance and the Col
umbia Today
THE WIND WAS uNFAvoRABLE
New Cup Defender Apparently Slower
in Light Breeze Than the Old Col
umba-Today's Race Not Likely to
Be Fair Test on Account of the
"Streaky' Wind.

Glencove, N. Y, May 21.-Early prep
arations were made today on board the
two American 90-foot sloops, Columbia
twice defender of the American cup and
the Reliance the latest aspirant, for
Il test of their relative fitness to meet
Sir Thomas Lipton's third venture
Shamrock III. They were to sail over
a measured course in the sound. AL
tho the absence of constitution, which IS
undergoing repairs somewhat marred
interest in today's race, still there were
plenty OF yachting enthusiasts who
came down from New York to see the
other boats Early arrivals, however,
did not find yachting conditions par
ticularly favorable. At o'clock, four
hours before the time fixed for starting
the race, nowhere was there the slight
est trace of n breeze. By nine a little
breeze sprang, up and indications We're
more favorable for n contest. The re-
getta committee OF the New York
Yacht Club, under whose auspices the
yachts will meet in majority of the
races this year, had laid out three tri-
angular courses for the yachts off
Glencove, with the start in all of them
from buoy off Matinicock point. The
first course was q small, almost equil-
ateoral triangle, about five miles to
a side. to be sailed twice around, or
thirty miles in all. The other two
courses were obtruse triangles, one of
them having a long leg, eleven miles
down the sound almost to Eaton's Neck
light, thence over to the Connecticut
shore and back to the finish, While the
other had the same long leg down the
sound, but with another long leg up
the sound to a buoy off Rye, then back
to the finish. The obtruse triangles are

would lit the prevailing direction of the
wind and give the yachts a good test
on ali points OF sailing. reaching, run
ming and beating.
AT 1880 both yachts reached the
starting point, with three lower sails
and large club topsails set. The pre-
paratory gun was fired and after con-
siderable jockeying the committee de-
cided the wind was too streaky and 1t
would wait for steadier breeze.
AS the two yachts stood together the
Reliance, with her immense rig, tow
cred far above the Columbia. AT 12:45
the boats were still waiting for wind. of
which there seemed lir.le prospects.
During the preliminary movements the
Columbia seemed to move more brskly
than the Reliance, as they moved about
in the light wind.
The yachts started at 2:20, the Reli-
ance in the lead.
The Reliance had increased her lead
to half mile by $40. A few minutes
later a five-knot breeze came off shore
and the yachts began to move more
swiftly. Columbia was the first to feel

There is now belief among the Cath
olics of Des Moines that there will GER
tainly be a division of the Davenport
diocese of the church and that Des
Moiaes will be made headquarters of
the new see for the southwestern part
of the state. The news from Rome
indicates that the proper papal Off
cials are giving the matter considera-
ton and if this is true it is because
Bishop Hennessy has given his con
sent to the division Des Moines al
ready has a magnificent church edi-
flee which can be used by the new
bishop The Catholic congregations
here are large and the church is III
excellent financial condition. A good
many years ago there was much re-
sentiment among the members of the
church over the action of the then arch
bishop in taking from the city the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the valuable church
property in down town district which
had been purchased by the faithful
priest, Father BRAZIL, at time when
property was cheap in Des Moines.
There was bitter feeling against
Davenport and against the bishop for
a long time, and it has not entirely
passed away.

RELIGIOUS WAR ON DIVORCE.
Protestant and Catholic May Join in
the CruSace

| the Crusace.
| New York, May 2l.-Steps have been
taken here by number of Protestant
| clergymen looking to q coalition be-
tween the Roman Catholic church and
"a number of Protestant sects in the
| fight against the growing evil of di-
vorce. With this end in view, the rep
lresentatives of the Protestant churches
have approached Archbishop Farley. 81
New York. and have sought his support
in the project.
These facts We're revealed by the Rev.
Father Pardow, the wehknown Jesuit
preacher in address delivered yester-
day before the annual meeting of the
!Manhattanville Pupils Association.
The preacher said that the movement
had been on foot for scme time. but
that no serious step had been taken un-
til Archbishop Farley wos approached.
The exact plans of the Protestant
clergymen are not known. These will
be definitely laid. if Archbishop Farley
agrees to give his support to the project
and aid in fostering the coalition.
While the Protestant ministers inter-
ested represent nearly every sect, most
of them are Episcopalians. They eS
press the belief that divorce in general
should be unswervingly opposed. and
should be allowed only in rare cases.
They desire to reach common ground
with the Catholics, who believe that
absolute divorce is never permissible.
The Protestant ministers decline to
state what progress has been made

CANADIANS DISCUSS SPEECH.
Cabinet Ministers Silent on Merits o
the Same

the Same.
Quebec May 21.-Canadians of every
class are discussing Joseph Chamber
lain's recent speech at Birmingham in
favor of trade reciprocity within the
British empire. The preferential trade
idea is generally popular, but the pref
udice against further Canadian assist
ance to Britain in her foreign wars is
very strong in French Canada.
The cabinet ministers at Ottawa will
not discuss the speech.
The members and supporters Of the
government affect to believe that this
threat of the Canadian administration
has had much to do with Mr.. Chamber
lain's recent utterances.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's personal news
paper, The Canada, makes a positive
statement to the effect that Premier
Parent of Quebec and William Price,
president of the Quebec board of trade,
strongly approve the preferential trade
principle, and Mr.. Price also believes in
colonial contributions to the British
army and navy"
