The race was by no means one sided.

well in the thrash to windward. She not
only held the lead for nearly an hour
but for time 1t looked as though she
would beat the Reliance to the outer
mark.
Unfortunately for the Shamrock III.
as they neared the Mosquito or Jersey
coast the wind headed the Upton boat
of and the Reliance rounded the outer
mark with lead of three n4nutes and
twenty-one seconds. most Of which was
gained during the last four or five

Premiums for the Ladies'.

The management of the State Fair
has not forgotten the ladies this year
by any means. A review of the pre-
MUM list shows quite the reverse to
be true and In fact great many pre-
miums have been added to last years
kst in the ladies' departments. The
colorado women have displayed such
an interest in the fair ever since its
inception and the exhibits made by
them have been such feature of the
fair that this year the management
has endeavored to give further encour-
agement and a wider field for their
handiworlA The department Of nee
die and fancy work has been carefully
revised and enlarged as has also the
pantry stores and cereal foods depart
ment.
The date of the fair this year is
September 14th to 18th and there will
be reduced rates to Pueblo on all rail-
roads during fair week.

possible. The limit of the storm in
the canon seemed to be Cassell's. and
it did very little damage beyond
there.
Locally the storm was most severe
in East Denver and South Denver.
where considerable damage was done
to the streets. Cellars were flooded
in many instances. Outlying towns
reported a comparatively light rainfall.
There was much thunder and light

GREAT ENGLISH
EX-PREMIER DEAD

London, Aug. 22-Lord Salisbury
died peacefully at 9:O5 O'Clock last
night. Soon after the shadows had
crept up from the valley and enshroud-
ed the dull red walls OF Hatfield house.
the distinguished statesman. making
the last effort of his life, turned slight
ly toward his favorite daughter. Lady
Gwendoline Cecil. who was kneeling
beside him, and then quietly breathed
his last.
Viscount Cranborne, who now as
sumes the title OF marquis of Sails
bury, Immediately notified King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandria. the prince
and princess of Wales and others, in
GLIDING Lord Edward Cecil. the SOL
siIer aon of Lord Salisbury. who is now
in Egypt, and who was the only child
of the marquis absent from the death
bed.
Soon the messages of coincidence be-
gan coming in. and the little telegraph
ONCE at HATFIELD was swamped with

The death of Lord Salisbury
occurred on the fiftieth, anniversary of
his entry into public life as member
pf the House OF Commons for Stan
ford.
The elevation of Lord Cranborne to
the House Of Lords creates vacancy
in the Rochester district and probably
will entail the selection of new under
secretary of foreign affairs.
The ex-premier, though retired from
political life. was an important
figure in many public ways.
He was warden Of the Cirque ports.
high steward of Westminster and
chancellor of Oxford university. His
death places an order of Knight Of the

was one of the most popular OF Ro-

played the greatest emotion.
Menotti Garibaldi. like his father,
died poor. leaving his family almost
without means. Everything he had
