Second Race of the Cay Series Taken by
the Defender Reliance In Good
Wind.

SklU.
New York, Aug. 2S.-With Reliance
less than a third of a mile from the
finish and Shamrock III. hull down
On the horizon, fully two miles astern
of the gallant defender, the fourth
race of the present series for the
Americas cup was declared off be-
cause of the expiration of the time
limit of five and Ore-half hours. The
Hcrreshoff wonder beat the Shamrock
hopelessly in the fifteen miles of wind
ward work, rounding the outer mark
twelve minutes and thirty seconds
ahead of her, a gain in actual time of
eleven minutes and Twenty-Five sec
onds, and down the wind she steadily
increased her lead.
New York, Sept. 1.-Again the cup
defender Reliance failed to register her
third victory over Liptonis challenger
because the wind died to nothing and
the time limit of five and half hours
expired before she could reach the fin
ish line. Her margin was approx
mately the same as on Thursday last.
She was less than half a mile from
the finish when the gun sounded. The
Shamrock III. was a faint blur on
the horizon. fully two and half miles
asterm Reliance's failure to- score the
race was the more eXasperating be-
cause her ultimate triumph is now con-
coded. even by Sir Thomas himself, to

Marietta, O., Sept. l. Following q
disa greement between the American

Two Fatal Mistakes.

Marie Antoinette, escaping from the
Tuileries, turned to the right instead Of
to the left after passing the inner arch.
She lost her way, lost time and by this
means lost her own head and the head
Of Louis XIV. So the story of Carlyle
runs.
Queen Draga of Servia meant to leave
Belgrade, but waited for a going away
gown, being anxious that as fugitive
she should appear in becoming attire.
II was a fatal delay.

The Most Costly Hair.

Every year, two or three days after
the fete of st. John, a market Of hui
man hair is held at Limoges. Girls,
matrons and old women from the coun-
try around bargain to obtain the best
price for their tresses, which are shorn
off in the market place. White hair al
ways fetches the highest price, because
the color cannot be produced with dyes.
It is often worth $50 per pound. Gray
hair comes next in market value, then
faxen colored, golden auburn, light and
dark brown, in that order. The cheap
est is black hair.

mended that change be made In the

that, while the sale shall be made an

preceding the year previous to certiti-
cation. He wants some drastic
remedial laws enacted concerning for
feited lands. 1t appears that the
auditors Office can get but few reports
OF action taken concerning these
lands. He suggests that the counties
should bear the cost Of constable's
fees in preliminary arrests and also
the cost of witnesses before justices in
preliminary hearings. He suggests
uniformity OF practice in the fees Of
court stenographers. He says the
counties should bear q proportion Of
the cost of the maintenance OF luna
tics, and thus agrees with the State
Tax Commission. He advances the
idea that the state auditor should re-
.ceive quarterly reports from deposi-
tories, showing average daily balance
for the previous quarter. He does not
believe in multiplicity OF appropria-
tions. He asks for an earlier date for
the final settlements between sheriff
and auditor. He favors a discontinue
ance OF reports OF marriages, deaths
and births TO the auditors office. The
report contains still other less import
ant recommendations. Without speak
ing lightly of the report, it contains
enough recommendations to keep the
Legislature busy all the term.
