SHIPS IN 13,000-MILE
RACE ACROSS TWO OCEANS
American Sailing Vessel Ex-
poets to Beat British
Rival to Japan

with the departure of the American
sailing ship Kenilworth, Captain St.
Clair, from Philadelphia yesterday, with
5000 cases of oil for Hiogo. Japan, be-
gins an ocean race covering a distance
Of approximately 1900 miles. with the
British sailing ship Lyndhurst, Captain
Parnoll, as the competitor. The latter left
the Breakwater one week ago for the
same port ana a similar cargo. The wager
is vine supper in Hiogo and a tidy purse
OF money.
Despite the heavy handicap Captain
ST. Clair was confident. when he sailed
yesterday that he would overtake the
Lyndhurst before the ship had covered
many miles on the Pacific Ocean. 1t is
expected that the voyage will take about
$50 days, or perhaps less, if the customary
trade winds prevail in the gulf stream
and ON the Pacific Ocean.
In point Of rig, length and general sea-
worth.ness. neither ship has much ad-
vantage. In the shapely lines of her hull
however. the Kenilworth is almost an
ideal sailing vessel. She has lowered rec
.ords between sailing ports in various
quarters of the globe.

JOHN F. NEARY
MAY RESIGN JOB
City Court Judge Edwin R.
Cochran, 1t Is Said, Will
Request 1t
HARRY SMITH MAY SUCCEED HIM
Story is Causing Considerable Com
ment Among Democrats, the Majority
Of Whom do Not Favor Change in
the City Court Office.

There Is rumor current that Judge
Edwin r. Cochran, Jr., Of City Court,
will in the near future request the resig-
nation Of Clerk of Court John r. Neary.
II Is then the intention Of the judge, so it
is said, to appoint former Councilman
Harry r. Smith, of the Eleventh ward,
to the position.
Judge Cochran was seen by a reporter
or The Evening Journal this morning and
was told of the rumor He Immediately
wanted TO know where the news came
from.
do you intend to ask Mr.. Neary for
his resignation?" asked the newspaper
man.
Il have not made up my mind yet" re-
piled the judge.
Would you appoint Mr.. Smith TO the
position in case you did?" was the next
question.
Il have nothing durther to say" re-
marked the judge. as he walked away.
The story is agilating the Democrats
and is being freely discussed by those
who have heard rhe rumor. 1t may be
possible that such change may not
take place, but it is said that a close
friendship exists between Judge Cochran
anu AAAt ANiAANA kbAAlAAlAdAf which iduHtr
some TO believe there is truth in the
story.
Mr.. Neary informed the Journal re-
porter that he had heard the story, but
had not been asked to resign. lie would
do so, however, if requested to. as the
position is within the gift of the City
Court judge, by whom he was appointed.
In the opinion of many, Mr.. Neary has.
since assuming the duties Of the office.
made. a faithful official and in the event
OF his removal there promises to be a
storm OF protest. He is the sun OF q
staunch Democrat, Patrick Neary. ano
the friends of the latter. il IS believed,
would strenuously object to such pro-
ceedngs, if carried out.
There are many Democrats who believe
Smith has had enough for a while at
least. lie has. until recently been in po-
litloal office for many years, and If the
wishes Of the majority of the men in his
own party were followed out, he would be
allowed to remain in the background for
a few years and give somebody else a
chance.

PROTEST AGAINST NUISANCE
South Wilmington Residents Object to
Stasnant Pools Of Water.

On Tuesday next petition will be
presented to the Board of Health from
residents of South Wilmington, re-
questing. that body to cause the re-
moval of a number of pools of stagnant
water beyond Third street bridge. Eff
forts to find the owners of the land
upon which the nuisance exists were
futile and the health authorities
were consequently appealed to.
According to alnumber of people re-
siding in that section of the city the
conditions as they now exist produce
malarial atmosphere, resulting in
much sickness and it is to abate this
that every effort will be made to abol-
ish the nuisance. The water for the
most part flows i'm from a break along
the Christiana above the Enoch Moore
& Sons shipyard and being unable to
run out with the tide forms pools

opened for travel for the first time on

persons. including Municipal Judge
Edwin Cochran of this city, who is an
official Of the road, and about forty OF
his friends. This was merely a trial
trip for some of the officials and their
friends and no fares were collected. So
anxious were the people to have the
honor Of making the first trip that i46
persons crowded on the cars, and the
heavy load caused several hot boxes.
AS the car left Middletown Miss
Blanche b. Cochran, a sister Of Judge
Cochran, broke a bottle of champagne
over the car. christening it Edgar A.

the road, and declared the odessa and

made to the car caused by the hot
boxes, It was IL o'clock yesterday

PUSHING WORK
ON THE ELEVATED
Overhead Road Being
Rushed in All Sections
of the City
RAILROAD SHOPS MAY MOVE SOON
But Two Places Necessary TO Join the
Road From Landlith to West Yard
Will Work Day and Night to Com
Plete the Work.

Much work has been done on the ele-
waited railroad during the past two
weeks, and IL is now assuming shape
and those who thought II would be sew
oral years before IL was completed have
changed their minds
Already the foundations are complet-
ed from Brandywine bridge 70 Landlith,
and it is only necessary to lay the rails
and MI in with dirt to have the road
completed there. From Fourth street
to Brandywine bridge the abutments
are also finished, as they are between
French ana West streets. This leaves
only the space between Fourth street
and French and from West TO Liberty
to be completed.
AT Liberty street the operations be-
gan last week and Ryan & Kelly, the
contractors, contemplate working a
double shift there. There viii beia day
and night force and the work will be
pushed continuously through the west
yard and graded down TO the level be-
yond.
II win not take a great while TO COM
plete the remaining portions necessary
to join the roads, although Il will not
be possible TO start work between
Fourth and French streets until the re-
moval Of the round house TO Todd's Cut
as the elevated system viii run over the
spot now occupied by the round house
The removal Of the machine shops and
the yardmaster's office will also have
to take place before abutments can be
erected on those sites.
The new Office for the yardmaste,
and his stan at Landlith is almost com.
pleted, but until the removal of the
round house they will not occupy It
fThe burning viii be big improvement
over the present structure and win hav,
all the sanitary improvements.
The building of the double wall from
Eighth street 10 Fourth was a matter
that could not be understood by many
watching the operations. The idea is
to make n gradual decline alongside OF
the elevated between these streets. II
will start at Eighth street and the sur
face viii be gained at Fourth. This is
done so that trains may be transferred
from the high tracks to the freight sta
ton.
Much of the machinery for the new
mill and machine shops Of the company
is now arriving. and that which has
been stored in the passenger car shops
is being removed and placed in position
today.
November 1st Will find the passenger
shops in full operation at Todd's Cut.
The freight repair department is in full
swing at the new location and 40 men
are now employed repairing the dam
aged and broken cars.
In the passenger shops many of the
men are laid off, which is customary at
this season, as the passenger coaches
are all utilized by the excursion busi-
ness during the summer and are not
taken of FOR repairs until the fall. The
shops are building five passenger coach
es, however, for the p, b. & w. road.
