Not long after our winning of the

miles back. The America covered the
eighty miles in six hours and twelve
minutes; the Titania in sevS hours
and three minutes. We had some
other races over there. too, and We
wen every race we entered.
THE old America is still afloat, and
is owned now, l believe, by Paul But.
Ter, son of the late Gen. Benjamin
+. Butler. But she is very different
craft nowadays from what she was
when she won the cup. She has been
entirely rebuilt and resembles the old
America very little. She is one of the

the starting point. The wind was blow
ing very light as the signal gun was
fired The Aurora crossed the line first
and got away well in the lead. We had
hard luck in getting away, and every
other boat preceded us. The light
winds seemed to favor the English
boats. We were disheartened a bit
at first, l remember. But pretty soon
a good breeze sprang up. We spread
all the canvas We could, and at once
commenced to pick up.
Before we reached the station

we were four minutes and six seconds
ahead of the nearest one of our com
petitors.
AT the finish we were way in the
lead. There wasn't any second, at
least so the story goes. But of course
you've heard that story" The writer

second?" There was no second, your
majesty was the reply. To tell the
truth, the second boat was so far in
the rear that we really could not make
out which one it was when we crossed
the finish line.
Our boat was very much the best
craft in the r1ce. There is no doubt
about that. When we crossed the line
there was mighty little cheering from
anyone save the men on the America.
Our crew went daft over the win.
They cheered and cheered and cheered
and they danced around like Inians.
The owners of the America gave
every member of the crew a han
some money present for winning the
cup. Nothing of the sort had been
promised to us as an incentive for
supreme effort. but the owners were

In an entire year only one person

DECIDES AGAINST
SHIPBUILDING COMPANY
Circuit Court Makes the Order for the
Receivership Permanent.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 2S.-The
appeal of the United States Shipbuild-
ing company against the decision OF
Judge Kirkpatrick appointing James
Smith Jr. receiver for the corporation
was today decided against the COM
pany. The opinion was rendered by
Circuit Court Judges Acheson, Dallas
and Gray. The order for the receiver
ship is made permanent, or until the
further order of the court. The opin-
ion says:
I'VE are of the opinion that the bill
presented case of which the circuit
court had Jurisdiction and that the ap-
pointment of receiver was within the
authority of the court. We also think
there was evidence to sustain the find
ings of the lower court and to justify
the order appointing a receiver. Wheth-
er receiver should be appointed was
matter largely within the discretion
of the court, in view of the special cir
cumStances of the case
1t was urged at the argument that
the decision appealed from was equiv
alent to final decree. Although there
is no assignment or error 20 bring this
question before us, still 1t deserves
present consideration. AS we read the
order it was not intended to be final
ity and is not so in legal effect. But "
remove any possible doubt on this
point,we will amend the order by strik-
ing from the fifth paragraph the con-
Guiding words, and especially by the
act Of the legislature of the state Of
New Jersey entitled can act concerning
corporations, revision 1867 and SUBJ
stitute therefor the words the receiver
to be subject at all times to the orders
and directions of this court and we
will add the foregoing order to stand
until the further order of this court"

For ten days or two weeks this per-

time to time confederate energies
from the Stock Exchange across the

lay station takes up and passes on to
the bucket shop watcher. At first per-
sons who observed the antics thought
that the individual was an unfortunate
victim of st. Vitus' dance or locomotor
ataxia. Men have watched him pity
ingly, and some have been observed to

grows nervous when stranger looks
on or asks question. When pressed
he hops to the Henry CIews side of the
entrance and eXpectorates into an area
way, or over to the HOLSTER & Bah

peared for time, his place being TAX

to break up this performance, but so
many in Broad street are now ION to

lieved that the signals conveyed the in
