Captain Wringe Defeated.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27-Not only Sham
rock III, but Captain Wringe, whom Sir
Thomas Upton had pronounced the best
racing skipper in Great Britain at getting
his boat over the starting line, was de-
feated to-day. The preliminary jockeying
and start was the prettiest exhibition of
skill and seamanship In the series. 1t
was contest for the windward position.
Only once did Captain Barr lose it and
then he promptly regained it. For fifteen
minutes preceding the start he held the
British boat tucked neatly under the lee
wing of the defender, despite Captain
wringe's best efforts to clear his boat, and
when Ii was over and the boats slipped
across the line Barr had splendid victory

with Reliance to windward. At the end of
the line Shamrock III luffed and tried to
force Barr about but the Yankee would not
yield and Wringe had to give it up and fill
away again. They recrossed to the oppo-
site end of the line outside of the line,
Shamrock III dropping back and luffine to
windward of Reliance on the way. That
was the only time Barr was caught to lee
ward Luffing hard, he sailed a. circle
around the challenger and blanketed it as
the starting gun flashed, bore off around
under the stern of the lightship and luffed
across the line with handicap of forty
one seconds. Shamrock III followed, handi-
capped by one minute and forty-two sec
ons, one minute and one second of which
was dead loss. The official starting time
for both boats was 1l:02, but their actual
start. as timed by the regatta committee,
was:

Reliance was leading by 800 yards. Once
across the line the yachts held the port
tack a few minutes and then went about

windward position. while Shamrock III
tried to foot faster. At the next tack, %
minutes after the start, Shamrock had lost

BLOW Up THE
BAST|LE
Heavy Explosives Found in
Valise Addressed to

dynamite plot to blow the county iail
to smithereens, plotted several months ago
and which miscarried with the death OF
the highwayman, Frank Ortoff, was dis
covered today through the opening of an
innocent looking valse at the Pacific ex
press office in this city.
The valise was opened by the officials
OF the express Office because it had never
been called for. 1t was directed to Frank
Ortoif, the dead highwayman, and had
been shipped in here from Lemairc, Wyo.
When the yalise was unlocked and
spread open, as fine an assortment of cx-
plosves as ever was seen lay revealed to
the eyes of the startled express officials,
six sticks OF dynamite in fine condition
heading the collection.
Besides the sticks of dynamite the va
lisc held IS giant powder caps for use on a
fuse, IS feet of fuse, one pound of black
pepper, two one-quarter cans of cayenne
pepper and other immaterial things.
The express clerks were astounded at
their discovery, and felt themselves lucky
i'll not having been blown to pieces long
before by the dynamite. They called the
sheriff's Office by telephone and an officer
took charge of the grip and its contents.
The Imprisonment and death OF Ortorf
at the county Jail will be recalled by the
discovery. 1t is evident that some friend
of his in Wyoming shipped the valise to
him, and that his purpose was to blow up
the county bastile and thereby escape.
