A RUNNING, PETTlNG TIME

It seems as if all my vacation days have
been short, but one especially was shorter than
all the others. It was very warm, but
beautiful day. AS soon as I had had my
breakfast ran to the pasture, petted the
calves once twice and then I ran to pet
the kitten which was only a couple of days old.
When I was thru with that ran to the field
where the men were working, rode once or
twice around the field the binder. Then
ran home again. When arrived at home it
was time to take lunch to the men, so started
off once more I sat there while they ate
and gave the horses some grass By that
time the men were ready for work again. I
had a few more rides, and I started for home,
this time going another and longer way, in
order to get some flowers that had seen. It
was soon time for supper, and after that the
cows were MIXED.

RACING YACHTS DRIFT
ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING DAY
AT SANDY HOOK.
Merits Of Cup Defenders Unknown
for Lack Of Stiff
Breeze.

NEW YORK, June 10.--At $50 o'clock
this morning it looked as If the weather
would clear completely at any minute and
give the yachts Reliance, Constitution and
Columbia an opportunity to race today,
but within fifteen minutes slight breeze
sprang up from the northeast and back
came the fog, thicker than ever. In fact,
at $50 o'clock 1t was impossible to see
more than fifty yards from the tower at
the Highlands.
Up to today the yachts have been racing
under the management of the regatta COM
mittee of the New York Yacht Club, and
for prizes offered by that club. An invita-
ton Of the Atlantic Yacht Club was ac-
cepted for today, this being the first Of
four races arranged by other yacht clubs
ticipate this season.
The conditions to govern today's race,
however, were similar to those arranged
by the New York Yacht Club, the start
and finish being at Sandy Hook lightship,
the first gun to be fired at IL 80 am, and
the course the same arranged for the
regular cup contests.
NEW YORK, June 10.-At II 80 Sandy
Hook reported that the sun was dispellinG
the fog, while the wind was fresh, east
northeast, and indicating an ideal condi-
ton for the trial. Shortly afterward the
Reliance left for the starting line in tow
Of a tug and the Constitution and Columbia
were preparing to follow.
NEW YORK, June 10.-By noon all three
racers were under way for the starting
point at Sandy Hook lightship. The fog
had lifted to great extent and the wind
was blowing twelve miles an hour.
NEW YORK, June 10-Commodore Kane
of the New York Yacht Club announc as
that race between the Reliance, the Con-
stitution and the Columbia will be sailed on
the ocean course tomorrow under the au-
spices of the New York Yacht Club.
NEW YORK, June 10.-The yachts had
all reached the lightship by 80, but the
wind had decreased that they moved
very slowly under sail. The light wind
and the approaching rain storm made it
doubtful that race would be sailed today.
Todays race has been postponed.

A CLOSED INCIDENT.
Minister Conger's Protest Regarding
the Russian Ambassador.

Minister Congers protest to the State De-
partment relative to an interview of Count
Cassni, the Russian ambassador, in which
the ambassador expressed regret that the
minister had been misinformed about Rus
sian negotiations with the Peking govern
ment, is regarded by the State Department
as closed incident. No representations
have been made to the Russian ambassador
on the subject and none will be made.
The ambassador prefers not to discuss the
matter although he has high regard for
Mr. .Congers abilities. 'It is my duty he
said las Russian ambassador to correct
statements about my government which are
incorrect. 1t was very far from my mind
ciaI."
