TO run as suits him best, according to MS
trainers theories. Both horses will be At,
and the conditions call for the track and
weather to be likewise.
In saying this is the East against the West
is not overlooked that Waterboy is a
Californian born and bred. But this is his
nome; here is the scene Of his triumphs;
ne has never seen Western track The
opposite is true Of McChesney. Never
before has he ventured in this direction.
The West is his place OF abode; he is the
western horse above all others, and the
IDOL OF the Western race goers from New
Orleans to Washington Park And de-
servedly 80; for gamer horse never carried

As to the question Of gameness there is a
prevalent idea that the get of Watercress
have the yellow streak" somewhere, and
instances of it have been pointed out in
the running OF Nasturtium Watercolor
and Yellow Tail, three of his most prominent
sons, aside from Waterboy. But, as he
himself has shown no evidence Of it, that
phase OF comparison need hardly be dis
cussed. AS for McChesney, he has proved
his gameness time and time again under
the most adverse circumstances
Both horses are unusually large, both
built for carrying weight, and in Waterboy's
case 1t is presumed that as he has done it
once and won he can do it again. McChes-
ney has done it dozen times, and won.
As for speed-well, the race is not always
to the swift. Waterboy has run the fastest
mile and quarter ever clooked, officially.
McChesney is a horse of phenomenal speed,
and Of him 1t is said he can run the fastest
last quarter OF mile in race that ever
was seen. That is where the judges hang
up the numbers. at the end of the last
quarter.
Still, il Waterboy is so far ahead when
the last quarter begins that it doesn't make
any difference now fast McChesney comes.

NEWPORT, r. l., July 2O-There was IA
collision in the harbor this evening be-

schooner yacht Clytie in which both suf-
fered more or less injury and indirectly
the accident resulted in the Gripping of
another torpedo boat the Craven, and the
injury of one of the crew Of the latter
The torpedo boat Winslow had been loaded
with supplies at the torpedo station to be
taken to the training ship Hartford, which

leave the haTbor as the fleet of the New
York Yacht Club was coming in,
The WinSlow started around the south
end Of Goat Island, where she encountered
the Clytie, owned by Henry G.. Ward of
New York The Clyte was trying to make
harbor in the light wind and. in the effort
to keep out of her way the Winslow was
crowded we'll in toward the shore.
Finally, seeing that there was danger of
the Winslow going aground, the torpedo
boat was stopped and the two came to-
gether. The headgear of the Clytie was
carried away and the Winslow lost her
after smokestack, Her military mast was
also swept by the board and her provision
chests washed overheard. The headgear
Of the schooner put hole in the
Winslow's starboard side The lost stack
was over the boiler in which fires were up
but the boat was able to get back TO the
torpedo station and the yacht was lowed
to the shipyard. where repairs will he made.
Upon returning to the torpedo station
the stores for the Hartford We're placed OH
board the torpedo boat Craven and she was
started for the Hartford. The Craven
had barely got outside Of the harbor when
one Of the tube sheets of her boiler blew
out and she became helpless and an anchor
had to be dropped.
In the blowing out of the tube Water
tender Jones was badly scalded. The ac-
cident was seen from the torpedo station
and launch was sent to bring the
injured man TO the station. He was sent
to the hospital, but it is not thought that

So much has been printed concerning
the encounter between Waterboy and

that it seems almost impossible to ring
any new changes. 1t is a fact, however,
that not since the days Of the Freeland-

sectional enthusiasm manifested. True.

superiority between two horses who had
seen each other, more than likely, almost
every day, had raced on the same tracks,
and possibly beaten each other; in fact, it
was for one or all Of those very reasons
that the matches were made. But there
was no sectional supremacy to be fought
out and established. az was the case when
Miss Woodford travelled clear to St. Louis
to measure strides with Freeland. Even
the American Derbies have established
nothing in particular, from the time Of the
memorable meeting between Proctor Knott

which marked it, down TO the time when

lita, Challenge, Katonah, Asplrant, Petrol
and Senta. The Aspirant on the starboard
tack was nearing the committee boat end
OF the line as the Senta was crossing on the
port tack. Aspirant had the right OF way,
but the Senta held on her course, and to try
to avoid foul the Aspirant gave way.
The wind was very light then and before the
Aspirant could fill away on the port tack
the end OF the Senta's bowsprit caught the
mainsail of the Hanan boat and tore away
the lacing from the boom. The Senta
swung the Aspirant completely round and
when she got clear she was on the star
board tack again. Then the yawl Petrol on
the port tack forced the Aspirant to give
way to avoid another foul The Aspirant
set protest flag and went on repairing the
damage as she moved.
On the next signal yigiant and Weeta-
moe crossed and the 70-footers Nicola and
Weetamoe got into trouble. These two
yachts were heading for the committee
boat end of the line just before the time
Tor the starting gun. Both were little
too soon, but they could not bear away
at the line, because the Isolde was under
the Weetamoe's lee. Mr.. Pynchon had
mittee boat and the Weetamoe TO get the

tack. The Weetamoe was close under the
bowsprit OF the steamer Riviera and Mr..
Pynchon shouted for room, seeing that
foul was inevitable. The Weetamoe was
in bad position and could not give way
without fouling the Isolde.
Clear the steamer" was shouted from
the deck of the Riviera, but before the
Nicola could do so her port topmast back
stay caught on the bowsprit Of the Riviera
and the topmast was pulled out of the racing
yacht The Nicola then bore away to clear
the Riviera, and her topmast backstay
caught in the port top preventer back

hung up, but, as the Neola's topmast had
gone, the stay cleared itself The Nicola

ACCUSE VENEZUELA.
Claimants Say That Courts Are in Csstro's

Special Gable Despatch 10 The SUI

Special Gable Despatch 10 The SUN.
TRINIDAD. B. w. l., July 2O-News has
been received here from Venezuela to the
effect that President Castro has brought
suit in the Federal Court at Caracas against
an American steamship company to re-
cover damages for alleged breach of con-
tract in the navigation Of the Orinoco River.
The company itself has claim before the
United States Venezuelan mixed tribunal
for a large sum from Venezuela for the can
cellaio of the navigation contract in
question.
1t is understood to be the purpose of
Venezuela to compel the company to try
out the questions involved before local
tribunals and in this way evade the terms
of the protocol between the United States
and Venezuela, which provided that the
claims of Americans should be determined
by the mixed commission in accordance
with the principles of equity and justice,
without regard to objections of technical
nature or the provisions of local legis-
lation.
The courts Of Venezuela are VIGOROUSLY
subservent to the will of President Castro,
and it is suggested that it is the purpose
of Venezuela to procure Judgment against
the company in one of its own courts with
which to Offset any award in favor of the
company that may be made by the inter-
national commission
Something of the same sort occurred
recently in connection with the claim of
Del Rios Bros ,Mexicans, against Venezuela
This claim was TO have been submitted to
a mixed commission for determination,
but in order to usurp the jurisdiction Of
that tribunal and hinder matters a Venezue-
Ian court gave judgment in favor of the
claimants for small amount two days
before the mixed commission convened
1t is reported that the Orinoco River
Company cannot procure lawyers to take
up their case, all being afraid of the power

THE BEDFORD BABY IS DEAD,
LEAVING THE WIDOW OF GUN
MING g. NO RIGHT TO SUE.
Even Ms the Guardian OF an Legitimate
Child Of Her Late Husband She Has No
Standing In Court Now That the Child
Is Dead-Gets the News In Cipher.

Mrs. Cunning s. Bedford, who arrived
here from Havre on Sunday with the avowed
purpose of beginning fight for her late
husbands property, learned yesterday
through cable despatch from her agent
in France that the baby she tried unsuc-
cessfully to pass Off in England as hers
and Bedford's, died last Tuesday in Paris.
The despatch which was in cipher, was
handed to her when she left the steamship,
but she had mislaid the code and the mes
sage was not translated until yesterday
morning. When sun reporter saw her
in the evening, Mrs. Cunning looked tired
and careworn. She declined to talk about
her intentions in regard to the Bedford
estate.
In an interview earlier in the day Mrs.
Bedford was quoted as saying that the
so-called Bedford baby had been born to a
stenographer in French hotel and that
her husband was the chid's father. Her
husband and she had adopted the baby,
she said. and when Bedford was dying
she had promised him to care for it.
The lawyers for the five women heirs
to the Bedford estate do not now take Mrs
Bedford's talk of beginning a fight for the
property seriously. Tompkins McIlvaine,
attorney for Mrs. Mary +. Wright, said
yesterday that Mrs, Bedford has no claim
to anything more than a $4,000 legacy left
to her as young Cunning s. Bedford's wife
in the will OF the young mans uncle, Judge
Cunning s. Bedford
As the guardian of a deceased illegitimate
child of Bedford, she could have no standing
in any court.
