three hours, fourteen minutes ana
tifty-four seconds) was only one minute
and thirty-siX seconds slower than that
made by Columbia when she defeated
Shamrock II. on October 3. 1901. IN a
piping northwester through chorpy
seas, establishing record for single
stickerS in q cup race. Considering the
lightness of the breeze, the time of
the racers may be considered remark
able.
Reliance's gain on the first, or wind
ward leg Of the course. was one minute
and eight seconds: deducting the handl-
cap of Shamrock III. at the start, the
actual gain Of the defender was only
forty-nine seconds. On the second leg
of the course, with the wind over the
starboard quarter, Reliance gained one
minute and twenty three seconds. In
the reach for home, during which the
breeze shifted somewhat to westward,
Reliance gained forty-6ve seconds.
The first leg was ten miles to the
south, about parallel with the Jersey
coast: the second leg, ten miles north
east by east, one-half east; the third
leg, ten miles northwest by one-half
fred the giants were manauverlnS
north Of the line, drawn between Sandy
Hook Lightship on the east and the tug
Navigator, anchored about quarter or
q mile away to the west. They carried
mainsails, clubtopsails, forestaysails
and jibs, with handkerchief jibtopsails
in stops ready to break out.
Sir Thomas Upton, on the second
defeat of Shamrock III. by Reliance,
philosophically said: "You have all
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.
I figure my defeat at little over one
minute. If I make as much progress
in the next race as have in this ono
over the last I'll be a good bit ahead
when the finish line is reached. 1 was
more than pleased at the way my boat
was handled to-day.
"It is hard to admit it. but the best
boat won. Perhaps if wo had had
! more wind at the finish the result
might have been different. But 1 do
not want to throw cold water on the
victory. 1t is hard to win every race
in such a series. and hope our turn
will come next"
In returning from the yacht race in
the afternoon the steamboat Mon
mouth. loaded with member Of the
New York Yacht Club and J. P. Nor
gan's yacht, the Corsair, were in colli-
| sion.
The Corsair was on the starboard
side Of the Monmouth. and the two
were steaming in parallel lines. The
Corsair suddenly DETECTED to port, ex-
pecting. presumably, that the Mon.
mouth would do the same. But the
Monmouth was unable to do so owing
to the fact that the Josephine. also
loaded with people. was on her port
side. The PROV of the big black yacht
struck the Monmouth amidships. For
tunately she slid off. tearing away the
awnings and the rail Of the Monmouth.
| The Corsair also was somewhat dam
aged. one of her lifeboats being
smashed.

VESUVlUS SPOUTS FIRE
Volcano Belches Forth a Great Stream
Of Lava and Stones.
Side of the Mountain Opens Out - super
stitious Seapolita"s Want fro-
fessor Krull Expelled.

Naples. Italy-The people Of Naples
and the environs witnessed Il remark
able spectacle at noon few days ago.
One thousand feet below the central
cone of Vesuvius the volcano opened
like huge mouth. out of which belched
a fiery stream of lava. which ran
down the side Of the mountain and at
first seemed to menace the observatory.
This building, however. IS protected IN
the direction of the stream by mound
Of lava 200 feet high, which was
thrown out during the eruptions or
1S91 and 1900.
The eruption occurred without any
warning whatever. There was no
earthquake. detonation or rain of ashes
nothing but q clear stream OF lava
and red-hot stones. which were thrown
to a height of 100 feet. producing an
extremely beautiful effect seen from
Naples. The stream of lava. which
was fifteen feet broad. at II o'clock p.
m. had covered a distance of 27OO feet.
1t deviated later from the direction OF
the observatory, which is no longer
menaced. The only danger is for the
new electric tramway up the volcano.
which, however. has thus far not been
touched. The eruption already seems
to be decreasing, and it is hoped that
no damage will result from it.
The spectators far enough away not
to be frightened stood entranced at the
spectacle, but. those nearer to the VOL
cano were seized with panic when the
eruption began and rushed down from
the sides of the mountain and from the
adjacent country to the villages Of Por
tici and Resina. which are built over
the ruins Of Herculaneum. The alarm
in these villages was somewhat quieted
by the Mayors affiXing notices declaring
that there was no danger and exhort-.
ing the people to remain calm.
The Chief of Police of Naples has
gone personally to make tour Of the,
villages around Vesuyius in order to
reasSure the peasants and superintend
any measures of protection which may
be deemed necessary. The supersti-
tious lower classes are agitating for the
expulsion of Professor Krull. Of Mu-
Mich. who predicted the eruption, say
ing that he has the "evil eye"
