YACHT RACE
DECLARED OFF
HIGH SEA MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO
ATTEMPT THE RAcE.-cRoWD
GREATLY DISAPPOINTED.
Sir Thomas Is stnl Hopeful and Believes
the Fluke Was. Good Omen for Him.
Gloomy Weather Has Bad Effect.

Highlands. y. j., August 29.-The
yacht race was declared of today and
bulletins were posted to that effect. The
large crowd in attendance anxious to sec
the Reliance beat the Shamrock for the
third and end the series was greatly dis
appointed. but the change in the pro
gram was unavoidable. The reason as
signed for declaring the race oil was a
high sea.
The Reliance and Shamrock III lay
in Sandy Hook bay all day yesterday
while driving southensterIy with buck
etsful OF rain ratified and hammered in
the rigging.
Euddlcd under the canvas tents swung
from one OF the main booms Of the
yacths were the anchor watches, the only
sign Of life on the racers.
The Gloomy weather was not calcu-
lated to inspire cheerful frames of mind
among @our friends, the enemy" who
realized that the luky wind saved
the Shamrock from a terrible drubbing
Yesterday. There is still hope in Sir
Thomas's breast that he may win race
and he said that the calling Off of Thurs-
days contest. when defeat was certain
was an omen Of good luck to him. Sir
Thomas disappointment over his pres
ent failure to lift the cup is intense
and those close to him say he viii prob
ably never challenge again.
The Irish knight was profuse in his
praises of the Reliance's work of Thurs
day. z. Oliver Iselin had little TO say
about the fiukc beyond regrettinG that
the Reliance should have been deprived OF
a magnificent victory when so close to
the line by the time limit.

from under the scheme that has been
so we'll planned and defeat both Mr..
Longino and Mr.. Fox. The other
candidates for governor could throw
heads and tails, the winning party to
take the support of all the losers and
take the field against Mr.. Fox. If
this insured Mr. Fox's defeat then Mr..
Longino would go down with him.
1t is not TO be presumed that Mr.. Fox
is stronger than all the others com
bined and the support of the Others
would naturally go to Mr.. Money.
We say that such scheme could be
worked, but it will not be. All the
candidates for governor will not come
down, for each one believes he stands
fair SHOWING of being elected and
he is willing to take the chances.
Besides it is not yet fully decided
whether or not that the people want
Mr. LoDgino for senator and Mr.. Fox
for governor or that they will desire
to support the McLaurins. Again, as
stated by Mr.. George, doubtless either
of the other candidates for governor
would not object to the support of the
McLaurins or any other faction with
in the line of the democratic party,
and the people knowing this they
would not run over each other for an
opportunity to vote for the man the
combination should see fit to put up
against Mr.. Fox. But when Mr.. Fox
secured the support of the McLaurins
he scooped a good thing and if Mr.,
Longine is successful in the same
kind of scoop he may be the next sena-
tor, for the McLaurin faction is a
powerful one in the state and doubt
less. in this relation, Mr.. Fox knew
what he was doing when hewas max
ing such great sacrifice by yielding
to the solicitations of his friends all
over the state to become candidate
for governor.

Kiger, candidate for lieutenant-gOy-

will continue to run unpaced. The
possibility of succeeding to the office
of governor through the death or

never sufficiently alluring to tempt
more than two men in Mississippi to

ONLY TWO COUNTIES
Thus Far Have Adopted Suggestion
By Prohibition Convention to
Organize Civic Leagues. etc.

vi S0lIILO SlNiN L(oSOOSe w.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, March THUS far only
two COUNTIES IN Mississippi have
adopted the suggestion Of the recent
prohibition state convention that
county executive committees and
civic leagues should be organized in
each county to assist in the cam
paign for constitutional prohibition.
Interest in the movement has been
on the wane since the convention
adjourned, many of the leaders OF
the cause being weaked in en-
thusiasm and dampened IN ardor by
the recommendation of the constitu-
tional instead of the statutory form,
while many of the faint-hearted
seem to think that it would be con-
Quoting a hopeless fight along the
plan suggested by theconvention.
In the counties where meetings
have been held the platform enun-
ciated by the state convention has
been ratified as matter of form,
but the decided lack of interest at
present to augur i'll for the success of
the cause, especially since political
contests of greater moment to the
masses have commenced to shadow
the prohibition issue.
