After few moments delay at the post
they were sent away to a good start.
Before they had covered an eighth of

Water Boy being second and Heno in
third place.
This order was maintained passing
the stand for the first time. HermiS
was full OF running and fighting for his
head, but Odom had strong hold on
him. Around the paddock they swept,
with Hermis two lengths in front of
Water Boy, who was leading The Pick

Rounding the far turn O'Neil sent
Water Boy up to the leader. The pair
ran like team for a few strides, when
O'Neil gave his mount his head and
he shot forward and soon had a COM
handing lead. From the head of the
stretch to the wire Water Boy just gall
loped and won easily by two and half
lengths from The Picket, who in turn
was four lengths in front of Heno.
Hermis was fourth. six lengths back.

ing Money After Fight.

Jim Jeffries must have had quite time
in San Francisco the day after the fight,
according to the following story they tell
about his settlement with the Yosemite
club:
Jim Jeffries passed a few anxious
moments after the fight When he set
tied up with the Yosemite club he was
given large bunch of money and a
check for about S15,OO0 Some of his
friends told him that he was foolish to
accept such a large check for it was NOT
dead certain that the club had this
amount of money in the bank They said
ne should have insisted on cash and
nothlng else, but Jeffries, who does not
lose any sleep over business matters de-
cared that the hackers of the Yosemite
club We're honorable men, and he WouId
take their check for a great deal more
Jefl1eS repaired the next day to the
Western bank to draw his money. The
cashier examined the check very careful
~ ana then looked at some books All
thls time the champion was getting un-
easy, and you can imagine his feelings
when the cashier returned and broke the
news that the Yosemite club had no
money on deposit. Jeff insisted that II
had, but the cashier thought. he ought to
Know better, as he had access to the .ac-
counts. Finally Jeff. left feeling that the
warnings OF his friends had come true
and that the club had fleeced him out of
han his earnings. AS soon as his legs
could carry him he hunted up Jimmy Coff-
roth and demanded what he meant by
passing him such a phOny check.
Why, that check is good" said
Cofroth, asking to see 1t.
:. Well YOU go and cash it if you think
IT Is, replied Jeff. handing it back

continued COffroth. after running over the
document: 1T is a wonder you were not
arrested. but it was all my fault 1 don't
know how ! came to have that blank
Western bank check in my pocket. The
truth of the matter is all our money is in

sat down and wrote check for SIS. 900

Aerodrome Undergoes Disaster No. 8

Underwater, Va, Sept. 5. : The
prospective launching this afternoon of
Prof. Langley'ss aerodrome was aban-
doned at 4 o'clock after the port pro-
peller, revolving about 500 times a min
ute, had wrecked itself among the rods
and bars of the machine. Both blades
of the propeller were torn to small
pieces, and one of the main supporting
rods of the airship was bent to a right
angle. Other slight damage was done.
The accident was the result of a
change, occurring in some unexplained
manner in the orbit of the blades. But
Tor the prompt action of Prof. Manley,
who was in the nayigator's car, the
aerodrome might have been hurled
from the superstructure and wrecked.

Capt. Barr made his debut in this world
IN Scotland. but came to the United States

a wife, the sweetheart of days gone by in
me Scottish hills. His present home is
New. London. where he owns handsome
little cottage within the sound of the sea

zen. and Old Glory has no more stanch
Reliance.
Fifteen years ago Capt. Barr was q
sailor ON the Thistle when that craft chal-
lenged for the America cup. She was
sailed by John Barr. but it is a matter of
history that she failed in her mission and
Charies Barr spent several years in
smaller craft in the vicinity of Boston.
The next craft of International Importance
IN which he figured was the Navahoe,
built for Royal Phelps Carroll in 1898
capt Barr was selected to navigate her
trusted the task of sailing her in British
waters. The Navahoe Won back the Rren-
ton Reef cup under his skillful guidance.
Dnt he left her before the end of the sea

brother and had been built as a possible
defender for the America cup by Gen.
