by Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger in a
race with Shamrock in the waters of the
international race course off Sandy Hook
lightship to-day. The challengers exact
time for thirty miles was 2:59:20, very near
ly record time for cup event and on par
with Reliance's splendid performance off
Newport in June when the American yacht
covered thirty miles in less than three
hours. Shamrock ITS windward leg to-
day was. however, not beat to windward
A shift in the wind after a start made it
possible for her to fetch from the starting
line TO within two miles of the turn in
quicker than if she had to beat all the way
Her reach of fifteen miles in 1:09:0S, at an
average of rising thirteen knots, is near the
record for a cup race. Despite her splendid
performance she beat Shamrock L by only
one minute and twenty seconds elapsed
time, but the new boat had lost at least
two minutes by the parting of her lib
topsail sheet " hen she was four miles from
the finish 'in.. The race was sailed in a
splendid wind. rising from ten knots at
the start 10 fifteen at the finish. and good
part of the time the yachts were dragging
their lee rails through the froth from un-
der their bows. The summary:

Illinois Central to put in Mod
ern Cinder Pit.
1t Will Cost $4,000 and Be q Great
Aid-Belt System to Be
Changed.
NOTES FROM THE RAILROAD

The Illinois Central road has decid-
ed to build a new $4,000 cinder pit
here and this morning a large force Of
laborers was put to work making the
necessary excavations. The new pit
will be much larger and more conven-
lent and will be . great improvement
to the shops.
At present the old cinder pit is To-
Gated in front of the boiler house and
is single track affair, the cinders
being loaded into the cars by means of
compressed air derrick. The new
pit will be located between the round
house, west end, and the cattle pen, a
distance of several hundred feet and
will be q double tracked affair with
depressed tracks into which the empty
cars will be run for loading. The en-
gines will be run over the pits, the
ashes dumped into the cars, doing
away with much labor and inconven-
fence, and will be large enough for
more than dozen engines to be
cleaned of ashes at the same time.
At present only two engines can be
accommodated at the same time.
The Illinois Central is continually
making improvements here and has
spent many thousands dollars here
within the past two years in improve
ments. A new engine and battery Of
four new boilers have been installed
and many new machines placed in the
shops which are now % complete a.
any to be found and are second to
none except the Burnside shops in
Chicago.
The Illinois Central shops were idle
this morning for some time, the result
of the breaking of . belt leading from
the engine to the shops. The belt was
newly laced yesterday and broke
where put together twice.
Maohinists are today finishing an
arrangement of cables and pulleys to
be usec in transmitting power to the
shops instead of the old time belt sys-
tenn. The belt system has been used
since the shops we're built but since
the new engine was ins tailed and the
wire cable arrangement put in, such
great satisfaction has been given that
was decided to run the whole shops
by the wire cable transmition.
