American Yacht Wins.

American Yacht Wins.
TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 12.-The dis
satisfaction evinced over the man
ner in which the American challenger
for the Canada cup had been sailed in
the first two races led to the summon
fng from New York of Mr.. A. Hannah
to take charge of the Irondequoit.
Mr.. Hannah went aboard the yacht.
and the I%rondequoit turned the tables
on the Strathcona. He was in full
command. Skipper James Barr acted
as helmSman.
All conditions favored her-a course
with fourteen miles of reaching in ii
and plenty of wind, less than
twelve miles an hour. 1t surprised no
one that the American boat should
show the way to the first buoy. After
her performance in a reach on Satur-
day it seemed the most natural thing in
the world that she should draw away
from the S~trathcOna. Skipper Jarvis
carried every possible sail and over
hauled Irondequoit just a trifie. but he
was at least ~three-quarters of a mile
astern at the finish.
The official times were as follows:
IrondequOit, start. 11:00:1S; finish,
2:15:O5. Strathcona, start, II :00:35; fin
ish, 2:2O:19.

Treatment of Cramp.

Many persons of both sexes are trou-
bled with cramps in one or both of the
legs. 1t usually comes on suddenly, and
while.it lasts the pain is acute. Most
people jump out OF bed-the cramp near
ly always comes on just after going to
bed or while undressing-and either rub
their legs themselves or get some one
else TO do it for them. There is nothing
easier than to overcome the spasms. and
the method suggested is as follows:
Provide a good strong cord-a long gar
ter will do if nothing else is handy.
When the cramp m on take the cord,
wind it round the leg, over the place in
which the pain is felt, and TAXI one end
in each hand and give it a sharp pull

that the Colombian congress realizes

SAVANNAH SOCIETY MEN
BUY SMUGGEEB TOBACCO
Made Purchases From Peddler Contrary
to Customs Laws.

Because some OF the prominent citi-
zens OF Savannah so far forgot them
selves as to patronize a cigar peddler
and his wife who were dealing in cigars
srnuggled from Cuba, there Will probably
be some vigorous prosecutions under
the customs law. Assistant United States
District Attorney Leaken.. Of Georgia,
has been in conference with the Acting
Secretary at the Treasury with reser-
ence to these cases.
1t appears the citizens involved are
of high social standing and a majority
OF them frankly admit they bought the
cigars without inquiry Of the peddler as
to how he obtained them. II was not
long until Mr.. Leaken was instructed
from Washington to begin action against
the purchasers. Indictments were return
ed which created sensation in Savan-
nah.
while here, Mr.. Leaken secured data
from the Treasury TO aid him in the
prosecutions and obtained permission to
summon as witnesses. certain Govern
msnt of1ciaIs. He also conferred with
Department of Justice officials. The
cases will be tried next winter. The
regular dealers in tobacco are aiding
the prosecutions.
