RELIANCE A CLIPPER.
The Columbia and Constitution
Far Behind.

Matincock Point, May z3-The three
90-footers, Columbia, Constitution and
Reliance. started today in the second of
the preliminary series of races between
the three rivals for the honor of defend
ing the Americas cup against Sir
Thomas Lipton's Shamrock III. During
the early morning there was a good
breeze which for time died down and
later freshened up again The start
was scheduled for noon, but as the
Columbia was becalned off Glen Cover,
il was necessary to postpone it until
shortly before o'clock The course was
the same as on Thursday.
The fight for the position at the start
was all in favor of Reliance. All three
boats swung around and headed for the
line when they were scarcely a quarter
of a mile away from it.
The Constitution was the first to head
for it, but Captain Barr placed the Re-
lance in a nice position on the COnSu-
tutlon's weather quarter, the Columbia
behind the other two boats Five min
utes before the start Reliance and Co
lumbia broke out their balloon jib top
sails, but the Constitution broke out
small reaching jib top sail. Reliance
soon began to gain on the Constitution
and they went across the line almost
together Columbia was handicapped
At no time was the breeze of sufficient
strength to blow out the flags on any
of the boats so that the race started as
did that on Thursday in Z drift The
Reliance soon showed that she was the
best drifter of the three and in I'VE
minutes was 100 yards ahead of the
Constitution.
BY 2 o'clock Reliance had increased her
lead to 800 yards and was going very fast,
seemingly catching a light air She drop
ped the other two boats constantly and it
looked at this time like a repetition of
Tuesdays rae Th supposed drifting
ability Of Constitution did not develop. as
she could not get in on Columbia even.
The wind. what there was of it. was light,
from the south or southwest, it was hard
to tell which.
At 2.25 the Reliance was a mile ahead of
the other two boats, having sailed two
miles to their one.
Official starting time:
Reliance. 1:50:20
Constitution 80 %.
Columbia $500.

BREAK IN U. S. STEEL.
Influenced by Rumors of a Prob
able Shut Down.

New York, May 2s.-Shares of the United
States Steel corporation broke abruptly in
the local market today on rumors OF a
probable shut down of some of the COM
pany's plant in Chicago Nothing about
these rumors could be learned at the main
office of the corporation. Judge Gary
chairman of the executive committee. said
he had heard nothing Of such reports.
Concerning the report that the corpora
ton had closed a contract to purchase a
large amount Of pig iron for delivery the
last half of the current year, Judge Garry
said:
I do not think any purchases of pig iron
have been made by any Of the subsidiary
companies during the last few weeks
Some had been bought within 60 or 20 DAYS
Considerable outside iron could be used
at the present time and probably would be
purchased if it could be secured at
fair price"

All the world knows that California is
an ideal winter resort. Comparatively
few persons in the United States. out
side of California, are aware that the
summer climate of the Golden State
is f1awless. Along the thousand miles
Pacific shore-line of California, with it's
frequent beaches, there are hundreds of
places where one may enjoy the cool sea
breeze, battle in the surf. or go fishing.
Up in the high Sierras or in mountain
valleys like Yosemite, the midsummer
temperature keeps under so degrees
F. The coast breeze blows across four
thousand miles of salt water, and in the
mountains the altitude tempers cheat
of the sun to a benevolent smile. Could
you wish for a pleasanter place in
which to spend July or August?
Down at San Diego, within a few
miles of the Mexican boundary. the sum
mer days are particularly alluring. Just
across the bay from San Diego is some
thing new in the resort world-a little
white city of tents. known as Tent
City 1t nestles under the wing of Hotel
del Coronado, within a stones throw of
the Pacific surf. Here, every May, the
tents are put up-hundreds of them
and from then until September they are
filed with visitors from interior Cali
fornia, from Arizona, and even from
New Mexico.
Coronado Tent City is located on
Coronado peninsula. near Hotel del
Coronado, a narrow strip of land sepa-
rating the Pacific ocean from the Bay
of San Diego. A lavish expenditure of
money has made it the most popular
camping place on the Pacific coast.
The climate is perfect, the camp is
healthful. the tents are comfortable.
there are many amusements on land
and water. and many nearby points OF
interest.

WALL DOESN'T WANT IT.
Thinks His Bid for Walks Was Too

Thinks His Bid for Walks Was Too
Low.
M. F. Wall, who at the council meeting
May was awarded the contract for lay
ing all the new sidewalks during the cur
rent year, will probably refuse to accept
his contract and will forfeit his 500 certi-
fed check which is on deposit with the
city clerk.
Mr.. Wall is said to have come to the
conclusion that his figures on the work
were too low and that he can not make
any money at that basis. He viii pay Sl00
for the privilege of being released from his
contract
The second bidder was W. H. Gilmore,
who was a very small fraction Of a cent
lower than Ramsey & Ramsey. It Is not
Yet known whether the contract will be
given 10 Gilmore or whether the work viii
be readyertised. Gilmore has taken down
his check for 500 and can not be bound
to carry out his offer unless he can see
profit in the work
Wallis bid on the work was slice on
the sidewalks Of SIX feet wide or over
and 2-1Oc on the sidewalks less than six
feet wide. The bid is considerably less
than TIE price at which the work was let
to Ramsey & Ramsey a year ago.
