RELIANCE HANDSOMELY WINS
SECOND RACE OF THE SERIES

Based on the magnificent showing
the Reliance made in the two races Al
ready sailed. 1t is the belief of many
experts that the cup is safe and that 1t
VIII take something better than Flies
latest creation even to bulge 1t.
After the race Sir Thomas Upton
said:
You have seen the results. and the
only thing l can say is that We did
better to-day than in the last race.
which is hopeful figure my defeat at
little more than one minute. II l

race as l did over the last ! will be in
line to win the third race. | was more
than pleased at the way my own boat
was handled to-day.
ut is hard to admit it, but tho best
boat won. Perhaps with more wind at
the finish the result might have been
different But / don't want to throw
any cold water on the victor. 1t is
hard to win every race in such a series
and l hope our turn will come next"
Captain Barr said: That's number
two. Now we will get ready for the
third"
Lord Salisbury said: We are
licked The Reliance is jolly well the
best"
C. Oliver Iselin said Il don't sup
pose anybody ever saw two boats bet
ter handled than those to-day. 1t
would seem however. that the Reli-
ance has proved her superiority in all
kinds of weather and under all condi-
tiuns"

UNION CLOSES
TELLURIDE MILL

Denver, Aug. ga Republican spe-
cial from Colorado Springs last night
says:
The Colorado City Mill and Smelter-
mems Union No. 125, Western Fedora
ton of Miners, by the declaration of
the strike on the Telluride plant tbs
afternoon. called out almost every one
of the 140 employees, closing down the
300-ton mill and antagonizing the Tel
luride Reduction Company, which, up
to date, has granted every demand OF
the union, paying $2.25 minimum scale,
and which, during the strike on at the
three mills last spring, had so IA
vored the union as to incur the slightly
veiled hostility Of many mine owners
of the district.
The direct cause of the strike was an
alteration between the management
and the employees in regard to the re-
tention of the Head Precipitation Wal
ter keene, a non-union man, whom
the union charged with being respon-
sibe for abuses or alleged abuses that
might be charged to members of the
union. keene was assaulted this morn
ing. and he Immediately resigned. de-
spite Manager Fullerton's request to
the contrary. Mr. Fullerton then in
formed the union in writing that any
further dictation on its part would
result in the discharge of every union
man in his employ. for no other reason
than that he was union man. He also
demanded the discharge of the as
saulter of Walter keene.
After an unfruitful conference in Mr..
Fullerton's Office the executive COM
mittee declared the strike.
Mr.. Fullerton asserts that he will run
the mill. either by union or on-union
men.
At Sis this afternoon the executive
committee declared the strike and ev-
cry one of the fifty men on shift
walked out, with the exception of one
non-union workman named Jay in the
precipitating room.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 26.-Cheyenne
Is the Cheyenne of thirty-ive years

the pioneer of the time when Indians

and a wild time. The cowboy and the
Indian were in evidence yesterday.
They were here and there and every
where, mounted on spirited mustangs
and gaudily bedecked in all of the fine
trappings Of the ''puncher" and painted

and do so not only with keen person.

PROF. LANGLEY'S
FLYING MACHINE

Washington, D. c., Aug. 22.-Profes-
sOr Langley has issued the following
statement from the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition:
TO the Press-The present expert
ments being made in mechanical flight
have been carried on partly with funds
provided by the board of ordnance and
fortitications and partly from private
sources and from an endowment of the
Smithsonian Institution. The expert
ments are carried on with the approval
OF the board of regents of the Smith
sonian Institution.
THE publics interest in them may
lead to an unfounded expectation az to
their immediate results, without all ex-
PLANTATION. which is here briefly given:
These trials, with some conducted
with steam-driven flying machines. are
believed to be the first in the history of
inventions where bodies far heavier
than the air itself have been sustained
in the air for more than few seconds
by purely mechanical means.
I'm my previous trials success has
only been reached after initial failures
which alone have taught me the way to
It, and know no reason why prospect
i've trials should be an exception.
1T is possible, rather than probable,
that it may be otherwise now, but.
judging them from the light OF past
experience. 1t is to be regretted that
the enforced publicity which has been
given to these initial experiments,
which are essentially experiments and
nothing else, may lead to quite un-
founded expectations.
'It is the practice Of all scientific
men, indeed of all prudent men. not to
make public the results of their work
till these results are certain. This con-
sideration, and not any desire to with
hold from the public, matters in which
he public is interested. has dictated
the policy thus far pursued here. The
fullest publicity consistent with the ma
uonal interest these recent expert
ments have for their object the devel-
opment of a machine for war purposes)
will be given to this work if it reaches
a stage which warrants publication"

FARMING MATTERS.
Fruit Land Needs Irrigation.

After working eighty acres OF land
near Littleton for over fifteen years
and spending e45.OOO. Edward ".
Stark is now confident that fruit caA,
not be grown in Colorado without irI
rigation. says the Denver News OF
August Goth. In 1887 Mr.. Stark leased
tho land from the state and planted
his fruit trees. He believed that al
most any kind OF fruit could be grown
In Colorado without the aid of irri-
CATION. All that was needed, he con-
tended. was a suficient cultivation OF
that land. which would bring the mois-
ture to the surface.
He planted the eighty acres in ap-
pies. plums, cherries and peaches. and
trom that time to this he has assidu-
ously attended to them. But 1t has
not been paying proposition from the
first. Year after year his trees would
promise well. but the dry season would
tome on and the fruit would wither
away.
Then a new water district was Or
ganized that included his leased land
Mr.. Stark had the alternative Of seeing
the work of lifetime revert to the
state or securing the land for himself.
At the meeting of the State Land.
Board yesterday he explained his posi-
ton. and he asked that he be allowed
to purchase the land. He told how he
had come to get 1t. how much he had
spent on it. and of the SIT 900 improve
ments he had made.
The farmers in the water district
had made arrangements with the High
Line Ditch Company to build a new
reservoir and convey the water to
them for $50 an acre. This option will
end next Saturday night. and II he
does not have possession of the land
then he will not be able to secure irrt-
cation.
The State Land Board. after a
lengthy discussion. agreed to sell him
the land for $50 an acre. He had been
paying a rental Of 81 an acre.
