TACK AFTER TACK.
The Two Shamrocks Have a
Lively Dodging Match.
Two Clever Men Matched Against
Eachother in Two Clever Boats.
Challenger Finally Succeeds in Making
Handsome Win.

Atlantic Highlands, N. j., Aug. A.
Capt. Bevis of Shamrock I, got into a
hot contest in today's race of the twin
boats off Scotland lightship and the
masteyly fashion in which the clever
shippers handled the big racers de-
lighted Sir Thomas Upton and Capt
McKinstry of the Teutonic and Capt.
Bertram of the Arabia, his guests, as
well as all the Erin's company.
Capt. Wringe sent the challenger
over the line with the old boat under
her lee for 10-mile beat to southeast.
The conditions were the old boats best
chance and Capt. Bevis fretted for Is
minutes while his craft was blanketed
by the fieeter footed challenger. Then
he whir]ed Shamrock I about on the
other tack. Capt Wringe followed and
again blanketed the Bevis craft. The
Shamrock promptly tackled again and
just as promptly the challenger whirled
about.
Seven tacks they made in three min
utes, each time Shamrock III holdig the
old boat under her lee. At the seventh,
Capt. Beyis got Roadway on his boat
while the challenger was filling away
and Shamrock I slipped through the
challenger's lee and got her wind clear,
but she had not the heels to hold it.
Shamrock III was still to windward
and soon overhauled her pacemaker,
so that the latter had to tack again.
Capt. Wringe did not follow, but gave
his attentiQnto getting to the turning
mark. ] UnSto that time the old boat
had held her own well, but afterwards
she rapidly dropped astern and was
beaten by 2 minutes, II seconds elaps-
ed time, atfthe turn.
Running home to the finish line in
such a breeze as the old boat ought to
be at her best. the cup hunter added
almost five minutes to her victory, and

Eymts Throughout Indana Choud BY Journal Correspondents
TO DISCONTINUE THE
LIMITED SERVICE"
Anderson and Marion Must Get
Along with Ordinary Schedule
of Traction Trains.
TRAFFIC IS VERY HEAVY

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. Dec. 13-The limited
train service" between Anderson and Ma
rion. which has proved so popular between
Muncie, Anderson and Indianapolis, and
and Marion, was discontinued by order Of
the traffic manager of the Indiana Union
Traction Company and became effective to-
day. The limited" service between Marion
and Anderson had become regarded as a
necessity to relieve the congestion which
this line Is subject TO, as almost every
hourly-service train is required to carry a
trailer TO accommodate the passengers.
The promoters of the limited service were
prevented from adding to the effectiveness
of the through service by charging an in
crease In the fare on account of the opposi-
ton Of the County Commissioners of Grant
county. Under the terms of the franchise
granted in Grant, the traction company can
charge but l cent mile for passenger
service. The Limited" trains could not be
maintained without an increase in trans
portation rates and this the commissioners
would not permit. The limited trains were
taken possession of by passengers that
could not be controlled and for these two
reasons the service is discontinued. In the
meantime the traffic continues to be IN
usually heavy.
The extent to which the traction company
has interfered with the local way traffic of
the Big Four is readily seen in the state
ment of the local office here. On Friday of
this week ticket was sold over the Big
Four for Linwood and it was the second
ticket called for in a years time. The
company officials of the traction line re-
would be renewed In case the Grant County
Commissioners relented or not.

county, and it was on the complaint of q
bank In Upton that Johnson was hunted
down and finally located at Hot Springs

meantime Johnson has been making a good

witness at the trial tomorrow, as he be-
came creditor for Johnson to a large
amount. taking forged paper as collateral

RICHMOND, Ind, Dec. Bone Of the
interesting spots at Earlham College, about
which little is ever said and which from its
unpretentious nature attracts little atten-
ton from the passer-by. is the observatory.
1t has a history that is of much interest
and contains instruments that are of much
more value than their mere commercial
quotation. William Haughton, an early
teacher and officer of the school, was the
means of securing the equatorial. 1t was
bought of r. b. Rutherford, a prominent
Eastern astronomer. who at the time, was
fitting himself with larger instruments. At
that time 1t was the best piece in the State
of Indiana.
At that time there was in existence a So
ciety of young people which took upon
itself the name of THE Philosophical and

torial and other instruments then at hand.
1t was completed IN 1861 The equatorial
was placed on the same pedestal on which
the present instrument stands. Ii was of
service until 1870, when all the lenses were
stolen. They were replaced in 1872 by those
now In use. They were made by Herman
Fritz, a noted German optician, at a cost of
$500. The wooden tube. which was part
of the original, was at that time replaced
by the present metal one.
The transit is of considerable value. 1t
is a three-inch instrument OF the type used
by the United States geodetic survey. The
instrument was at first mounted at Fort
Sumter. but at the breaking out of the
war was removed to this city. 1t Is val

some very efficient work. The clock was
