New York, August 21.-After days

The big event of the card was the $4,000

betting was very heavy, Billy Buck selling
for 1000 to 500 for the field. The fa-
vorite won the first heat by half length
from jim Ferry, but in the second heat
he was beaten in a close and exciting finish
by the rank outsider, Hawthorne. In the
third heat at the first turn Swift STUN

both went down.

time Kinney Lou had got the lead and

THE YACHTS RACE AGAIN TODAY.
Sir Thomas Upton Doesn't Feel in the Least
Discouraged
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Aug 21.-Sir Thomas Upton,
his captains and the crews of his fleet at
Sandy Hook were by no means disheart-
ened today. Sir Thomas was as optimls
tic as usual and as cheerfully explained
that yesterdays race was not conclusive,
while Captain Wringe, of Shamrock III,
was as good natured and hopeful as ever.
All appeared to believe that there would
be different story to tell if the next race
were sailed in fair racing wind 1t was
pointed out by an officer of the Erin to-
day that Shamrock III had never been
exceedingly fast in drifting. The only
race in which Shamrock l ever beat her
was sailed in little better than a calm in
many cases under similar conditions Sham
rock III had been unable to drop her
pacemaked until the wind increased to
five knots or better, after which she
showed a remarkable increase in speed.
Tonight the ends of Shamrock III were
hoping for wind that will enable the
boats to sail the race an hour within the
time limit.
Forecaster Emery, of the Weather Bu-
reau, today sent out the following special
forecast for the vicinity of the yacht race
course for tomorrow:
THE weather Saturday over the inter
national yacht race course will be fair
to partly cloudy, with fresh southerly
winds, probably shifting to southwest
erly.''
Sir Thomas Upton said today:
Il have not lost hope in the slightest.
The conditions yesterday were the worst
[ have ever seen off Sandy Hook. l have
been here now since June, and we never
had anything so bad. 1t was purely a
matter of luck. The Shamrock got no
show from the wind. The Reliance was
getting all the wind she wanted to foot
away from us with, while the Shamrock
was lying without breath. Whenever we
did get a breeze we lost no time in making
up the Reliances gain, but the luck never
lasted with us
'As a matter of fact, the Shamrock
came about to come home, seeing it was
hopeless to continue when she was getting
no wind. The Reliance's sails were full.
when our sails were lying limp.
The Shamrock while the wind lasted
did better work yesterday than the Re-
lance. Others may say what they like
on this matter, but this is my positive be-
lief"
Sir Thomas passed the day in entertain
ing the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury,
Colonel and Mrs. Shaman- Crawford, and
Adjutant- General and Mrs. Corbin.
After the Shamrock III and Reliance
had little spin about the bay, Captain
Wringe and Captain Bevls, of Shamrock
|, spent the day amusing themselves.
On board the challenger there were few
signs of activity. Her crew were taking
a rest but on board the Reliance her men
were busy stretching out the head of the
mainsail along the gaf and oVerhaullng
her spars and sails.

How's THIS BUR-R-UD, MR.. D0oLEY.
The Public Get Glimpse of Langley's Com
plicated Flyer.
(By the Associated Press.

Tidewater Va. August 21.-Langley' S
big aerOdrome was placed in position on
the superstructure of the houseboat this
afternoon. The force on the airship
worked on the body, arranging machinery
and adjusting the wings, until sundown.
The flying machine then was returned to
the interior. 1t was the first time that
it had been exposed to the press repre-
sentatives. Her machinery and dimen-
sions were plainly visible.
Amidships is a great mass of wheels,
rods, boilers, pistons and various other
mechanical devices. 1t is exceedingly COM
plicated. The body consists of several
long steel bars centrally located. With
bowsprit and rudder it will measure sixty
feet. Close to the motor is the navigator 5
car. This is built for a weight OF $50
pounds. 1t probably will carry Prof.
Manly who was in it repeatedly this az
ternoon.
The gasoline motor, which weighs 200
pounds, generates something in excess of
s7-horse power. 1t is connected by bars
with the propellers, about six feet IN
diameter, capable of revolving 200 times
per minute The motive power is suffi
cient to produce velocity of forty miles
per hour Placed equally about the ship
are five empty cOnical bodies designed as
floats to keep the airship up when she
strikes the water. Fore and aft are two
strong platforms on each side to support
the wings These are of delicate but rigid
construction, twenty by ten feet, allowing
a sustaining capacity of 800 square feet.
During the work repeated photographs of
the machine were made. The wings were
placed in compartments on the super
structure and repeatedly adjusted. With
good weather conditions test is expected
Saturday.

Crops are Not Moving as
Freely as Usual.
A CAR FAMINE CERTAIN
Labor Controversies Continue CurtaiIirg the
Output of Few Products and the Con-
sumption of All the kecessaries
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Aug. 21.-R. G.. Dun's week
ly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Business is we'll maintained, aside from
the quieting influence of the vacation
season which somewhat restricts trade and
retards collections Making due allowance
for the period there is no cause for COM
plant. The adverse factors that have
been operating against prosperity in re-
cent preceding weeks are no longer as
potent, normal influences gradually pre-
vailing. Labor controversies still exist,
curtallng the output of few products
and the consumption of all the necessaries
of life. Crops are not going to market
as usual, although the agricultural out
look is distinctly favorable. In spite OF
several obvious reasons for expecting a
check to freight traffic, earnings of rail
ways thus far reported in August show an
average gain of 9.6 per cent over last year
and 1872 per cent over 1901. Complaints
are beginning to be heard regarding the
inadequate facilities of the railways, and
it now appears that inconvenience and loss
must again be experienced, notwithstand-
ing the extensive improvements. Sensa-
tional stories of the large number of buy
ers now at this centre and the fabulous
sums that they spend cannot be accept
ed as statistically accurate, but it is prob
able that an increase over all previous
years is actually occurring despite the de-
moralization in cotton goods, caused by
speculation in the raw material
nf ba cfo opfn ioIN
bing trade that is reported in drygoods,
it IS surprising that no reflections of the
activity is seen in the primary market.
Makers of cotton goods find no business
offering except such small orders for i'm
mediate requirements as emanate from
urgent dealers.
Failures this week numbered 23s
against 2O7 last year"
