THE RELIANCE SAILS.
The American Cup Defender on
Her Trial Trip.

Bristol r. L, April 25.-The new cup
defender, the Reliance, was given her
first trial sail today. The weather was
not all that could have been desired,
there being only a light breeze from the
west. but as the run was mainly to give
her builders "a chance to look over their
finished workmanship, there was wind
enough for their needs and enough to
send the craft down the bay at moder-
ate speed. The crew of the Reliance were
on deck by sunrise and with the excep-
tion OF half an hours respite for break
fast they worked constantly until after
9 o'clock in an effort to have everything
in the best of shape for the yachts first
spin The decks had been washed
down, the main sail uncovered and both
head sails set up in steps before the
men went to breakfast. The sun rose
clear, but before it disa ppeared under d
dark cloud SO that for a time the pros
poets of fair weather were not particu-
larly favorable. a very light wind came
out of the northwest. This was favor
that before the middle of the forenoon it
would breeze up and give the yacht a
chance to show her speed from Mar
ragansett bay with started sheets.
The Reliance started at 9:35 o'clock
The breeze had shifted to the west and
was very light. The yacht swung away
from her moorings under three lower
sails and a working top sail. Designer
Herreshoff was at the wheel The
yachts tender, Sunbeam the steamer
Park City, the tender of the Old cup de-
fender Columbia, and the steam yacht
Corona with Commodore Bourne of the
New York Yacht club on board and a
press tug followed.
Quaker Hill, Portsmouth R. L, April
25-The trial sail of the Reliance was
observed from this point. When the
yacht finally swung away from her
moorings she was under mainsail. a
working top sail and jib and was head
ed towards Hog Island light. The stay
sail was soon broken out and later d
jib top sail was also set. The Reliance
seemed rather stiff, for with the heavy
main sail boom and gaf swung well off
on the port side, she had scarcely any
heel.
When the great sail was set for the
/ first time this morning it was evident
that Captain Barr did not like the set
of it exactly, so it was lowered and the
foot hauled a bit on the boom. Then
the sail was hauled up, the crew work
ing hard to get it taut on the luff That
part of the sail set fairly we'll but the
leach tapped badly.
The Reliance was an hour getting out
of harbor and while she was drifting
along the crew changed the working top
sail for a very small club top sail
At 10:40 the wind strengthened a bit
and trimming in her sheet the Reliance
headed out in the bay.

miles westward of Galadi. About 2.003
of the mullahs men were killed. The
British loss is not known.
The few details obtainable of the dis
aster to Col Plunkett's detachment
April II show the Mullah's forces con-
sisted of 1000 horsemen and 10000
spearmen. They surrounded Col. Plum
ketts force in the open, and the SomaIis
after a heavy rife fire charged repea t
edly with their horsemen and spearmen
on all sides. The British detachment
held out until its ammunition was ex-
hausted and then charged with the
bayonet. but it was ultimately over
whelmed by weight of numbers. The
British force fought until all of its Off
GERS and 170 men were killed. Most of
the handful of men who reached the
camp were wounded. The Somalis'
losses are reported to have been enor-
nous.
The Mullah's forces are estimated
from 5000 to 1000 mounted men and
about 5000 spearmen.

THEY'RE MARRIED.
w. X. Vanderbilt and Mrs.
Rutherford United.
Duchess of Marlborough Saw
Her Papa Through 1t.

London, April 25.-William X. Van
derbilt and Mrs. Anna. Rutherford were
married today at St Marks church,
North Audley street. The officiating
clergyman was Rev. w. r. Hadden.
The wedding took place just before
noon. Winfield Hoyt of New York was
the best man and Henry White gave
away the bride. The only other persons
m the church beside the verger, were
the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough.
Mrs. Rutherford wore a simple. gray
travelling dress and no jewels of any
kind. Mr.. Vanderbilt, Mr.. White and
the Duke of Marlborough wore the
usual frock coats.
There was no wedding breakfast or
reception. Immediately after the cere-
mony the couple started for the coun-
try. Their destination was not revealed
but it is known that they will remain
in the country for some weeks before
going to any city. 1t seems that Mr..
Vanderbilt personally secured the
licenses, managed the whole affair him
self. Three weeks ago he established q
residence in London and last Wednes-
4 day he personally applied for and Sc
cured a license from the bishop OF
London while the reporters were al
watching the archbishop of Canterbury :
/ diction applies to the diocese OF Londor
only. while that of the archbishop OF
Canterbury applies to the whole oi
England.
Mrs and Miss White are still staying
! at Mrs. Rutherford's fiat in Paris Mrs
White would have accompanied Mrs
Rutherford to London and have been
present at the wedding, but Mrs
i Rutherford asked her to stay with hel
children.
The license set forth all the details
( Of the Vanderbilt divorce and the prev
/ ious marriages of both parties. 1t is
