AMERICA CUP RACES.
A History of Which Americans Have
Reason to Be Proud.
Trophy Which Was Won in 1851 Has
Never Since Left New York
This Years Contest to
BE n Hot One.
Especial New York Letter.l

THE great international yacht
race, of 1908, it is now believed,
will be a contest between Sham
rock ILL, Sir Thomas Lipton's beau
tiful new boat, and the Reliance, new
Herreshoff creation, built for c. Oliver
lselln and other members of the New
York Yacht club syndicate. The race
will be for the Americas cup-a sill
yer trophy worth about $500, but upon
which not less than $4,000 has been
expended by challengers and defend
ers during the past SO years.
A short review of the struggles for
the cup cannot fail to be of interest to
every patriotic American. 1t is just
So years since the Queens cup, of the
Royal Yacht Squadron regatta, was
borne off across the Atlantic. In the
summer of 1851 an odd-looking schoon-
er, with a pole foremost and low, over
hanging bow, entered the Solent and
anchored off Cowes. English yachts
men viewed her with curiosity. The
stranger proved to be the America.
She was vessel of TO tons, built upon
the lines of a New England pilot
schooner, and her owner was G. L..
Schuyler, who flew the burgee of the
New York Yacht club.
The famous race took place on Au-
gust %. The course was from Cowes.
right around the Isle of Wight, back to
the starting point. America took the
lead almost from the outset, and stead
lily increased her distance from her
competitors. But one vessel stuck to
her heels in such fashion as to leave
ray of hope for the Britishcrs, and
this was little Alton cutter, the Au-
rora. In the tumbling waters out
side the Needles the America had it all
her own way, her superior weight and
size entirely breaking down her plucky
little adversary. The race was long
one, and when at s:37 in the evening
the gun from the mark boat pealed
forth again, it was to announce the
victory of the America, which had
crossed the home line is minutes ahead
of the Aurora.
Americas surprising triumph gave
great setback to yachting in Eng
land, and it was 10 years before the
first attempt to recover the lost lau-
rels was made. In 1870 Mr.. Ashbury
crossed the Atlantic in the schooner
Cambria, vessel of 22s tons, and chal-
lenged the New York Yacht club Mr..
Franklin Osgood took up the gaunt-
let, and on the sth of August came out
to defend the cup in the little schoon-
er Magic, of 81 tons. The course sailed
was over the regular racing track of
the New York Yacht club, and in the is
sue the Cambria was vanquished by
nearly 40 minutes-the worst defeat
of the half century's contests.
Mr.. Ashbury was beaten, but not
crushed, and challenged again. Mr.. Os-
good once more consented to defend
the trophy. The programme of the
1871 races was considerably altered by
the New York Yacht club committee,
so as to give the two boats an oppor-
tunity of showing their respective mer-
its under varying conditions. Instead
of one match, as heretofore, five were
arranged for. The English boat was

crossed the Atlantic and challenged
the New York Yacht club. He was met
by Mr.. j. S. Dickerson, in the schoon-
er Madeline, a vessel of 151 tons.
Again the programme of the races was
altered. This time the issue of the
contests was to be settled by either
vessel winning two matches out of
three. The Madeline was victorious in
two heats.
The contests of 1876 were the last
in which "two stickers" took part. Dur
ing all this time the racing yacht had
been gradually but steadily dimin-
ishing in size, the chief cause
which contributed to this result
being the increased cost of con-
struction. When, therefore, in 1881,
Alexander Cuthbert challenged the
New York Yacht club to sail for the
America cup, it was with the cutter

LAFAYETTE. Ind, Sept. with the
return of Purdue students and the prospect
of a marked increase in attendance comes
a great demand for rooms. which has
caused rents TO soar, and which will result
in many students taking rooms in the city
instead of in West Lafayette. The present
supply OF furnished quarters on the West
Side is not sufficient to meet the demand.
Nearly every family on the West Side takes
roomers. but in a majority of cases the
rooms were engaged by their last years
lem of caring for 1,40 tudents has become
Il serious one, and now that all dormitory
space has been converted into class rooms,
there is even a greater demand for apart
ments.
The average price for rooms heretofore
has been IS for two students living in a
single room with double bed. Now $40 is
charged for the same rooms, and no i'm
provements have been made TO warrant the
increase. Last year there was strong talk
of a general indignation meeting by stu
dents 10 protest against the excessive
prices, but no such movement materialized.
However, the matter was brought to the
attention of President Stone, who has been
Investigating, but who, of course, cannot
regulate the charges for private rooms.
The university authorities interviewed
many of the proprietors, and they all as
serted that il was necessary TO raise prices
on account of the increase in house rent
and the price of fuel. Room rent I'm the
city is not so high, and this year il is prob
able that hundreds of students will live on

MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 4.-Twenty switch
men in the employ of the Lake Erie &
Western Railroad in the local yards went
on strike this afternoon, and as a conse-
quence all freight i'm the yards was
tied up. Only one switching engine was in
use this afternoon, and that was run alone
by Yardmaster Oliver. Tonight, however,
the strike was settled and the men returned
to work.
The removal by the company of j. b.
Saxon was the immediate cause of the
walkout. Last June he represented the
local union AT a meeting of committeeman
at Indianapolis. where IL was agreed to ask
the company for a raise in wages. This
has been denied, and since that time four
of the six committeemen have been dis
charged. When the company resfused to-
day 10 reinstate Saxon the men quit work.
The three things the local men asked
are: The reinstatement of Saxon. the

WARSAW, Ind, Sept. Mob law and
riot were almost precipitated last night
at North Webster, when Arthur Barth, of
Pendleton, a summer tourist in camp with
relatives on Tippecanoe lake, stabbed a
young man named George Willard, who is
now at the point of death from the knife
wound received.
After becoming intoxicated, Barth and
Frank Baker, a barkeeper at Adolph An
Thesis saloon in North Webster, started
out with knife and revolver to intimidate
the people of the town. They came across
George Willard. eighteen years of age. and
as he en~deavored TO get away from Baker
and Barth the latter plunged a knife into
his back, the blade penetrating to a point
near the heart. AS Willard fell Barth fell
over his body and was preparing TO strike
again with his knife. when w. f. Willard.
a young MAI injured recently at Ander-
son in a wreck on the Big Four Railroad,
struck Barth with one of his crutches, and
this act probably saved Wizards life. The
wounded man was conveyed To his home in
a precarious condition.
Barth and Baker continued to march UP
and down the street. shooting promiScuously
at people and buildings. but their aim was
too unsteady to do further damage to i'm
dividuals- The town was thrown into a
Juror. Women and children were sent to
their homes to avoid the bullets of the
drunken men, who seemed TO have an in
exhausiible supply of cartridges. A score

armed themselves. Barth and Baker were
surrounded, and gave up their weapons, and

LOGANSPORT, Ind, Sept. 4.-Harry

ter was murdered, and who was arrested
on a charge of assault and battery on the
murdered boys father, Had a hearing in
Police Court this morning on the assault
and battery charge, and, after being fined
81 and costs, which he paid, was released.
This action on the part of the authorities
seems to indicate that they do not hold him
in any manner responsible for the death of
young Unkefer, in spite of the assertion of
the elder Unkefer that Grace had killed him.
Unkefer had claimed that his son was killed
by the rock which Grace threw at him the
elder Unkefer), and which he claimed
bounced off his head and struck his son.
This statement of Unkefer's was given no
credence from the start by the authorities
Despite the fact that tine authorities have
been unable to complete their chain of evil
dence sufficiently to warrant them making
an arrest on the charge of murder, they
nave not given up the investigation, and say
they nave not lost hope of bringing the MUIR
derer into court. During the last few days
they have spent little time on the investiga-
ton.

TO bring her within the 9-foot limit, she did
a great deal better than after the change.
Both Shamrocks were tOwed to Erie Basin

for England in tow in about ten days. Sir
Thomas said to-day that he would not sell
either of them.
