END OF CUP RACES.
The American Boat Won Out In
Every Test.
She SHOWED HER SUPERIORITY.
The Final Race Was Hade on
Thursday-Sir Thomas Makes q
Speech.

The international cup contest that
has been in progress for the past two
weeks came to a close on Thursday
when the American boat, the Reliance,
won third time The racing this year
was peculiar in that the British chal-
lenger, Shamrock III failed to score
a single victory, losing in every sort
of weather. Sir Thomas Upton has
made a brave fight for the cup, but has
failed three times in succession.
The events of the present season
have been about as follows:
The first race was a failure, both
boats failing to cross the line within
the time limit.
The second race showed signal
victory for the Reliance.
The third race was closer, the Reli-
ance winning by a. very narrow mar
gin-less than two minutes.
The fourth and fifth races were both
failures on account Of the slow breeze
blowing. The yachts failed to make ar
effort on Saturday because of the
stormy weather.
On Monday the wind was stationsr!
| and no race was run On Tuesday thu
conditions were the same, and Wed

The Abstruse tisusa Tongue.

Arabic scholars are devoting atten-
ton 10 the Hausa language and litera-
ture. This language is spoken by b.
0oO. 900 Africans in the vast regions
between the Niger and Lake Tchad.
With the exception of Egypt and
Abyssinia. no other African nation
save the Hausa has reduced its
tongue to writing and created a liter
ature.
Adopting a modified form OF the
Arabic alphabet, the Hausas have pro
duced national poems and songs. his
torical annals and legal documents.
Recently a committee was formed
in London to make scientific study
of the Hausa language. and lee
turer in Hausa was appointed at Cam
bridge university. So far as they
have gone, the researches indicate
that the language is Semetic in its
origin.
