 After giving the names of those who assisted and those who were present at the autopsy, the report continues:
 "We began by injecting into the thigh over five litres of special preserv- ing liquid. Having opened the abdo- men the lower viscera were extracted and were found to be perfectly healthy. The spleen and kidneys were also, aD- solutely normal. In the latter the cortical substance was we'll preserved and of a pale pink color. After open ing the thoraX it was found that the heart, the aorta and the carotid arter- les were healthy except that in the arch of the aorta was found an athore- matous excrescence. Nothing unusual was found in the pericardium. The pleura on the left side was quite nor nal, but on the right side the pleura was full of liquid of an orange yellow color above, and bloody at the bottom, with a large clot of fibrine easily de- tached allowing a view Of the surface SeTuu IHo upper SlIpeI1oI part oL tAe right lung was quite normal, but the upper lower part was somewhat hard and cracked at the touch, and while cutting a whitish, frothy liquid oozed out. The inferior lobe had partly ad- hered to the wall of the thorax, and when this was cut dirty, white abun- dant liquid, without gas, oozed out, showing complete Repatriation. After wards the thorax was filled with medi- cated cotton and an antiseptic absorb ing substance, after which the incision made for the examination was. sewn up and the body put in order. The ar rangement of the. face was difficult. All the members of the august body were banded, as in the case of num- mics, and the bandages were smeared with an impermeable varnish.'

OUT FOR ANOTHER RUN
Big Yachts Got Stuck in the
 Mud To-Day

Reliance Got Off Quickly, But Colum-
 bia Had to Be Helped By Her Own
 Tender and a Tug-The Start Was
 Made at About 1o:3o o'clock.
 Vineyard Haven, Mass, July 22.- The three cup defenders, Reliance, Constitution and Columbia, three schooners and two small sloops were the only members of the racing con- tingent of the New York Yacht club fleet in evidence this morning, when orders were given for the start of the last run of the cruise from this port back to Newport. The Reliance and Columbia came. in last night. The Constitution was lowed in at daybreak to-day.
 The remainder of the fleet which left Newport yesterday was unable to reach here, owing to very light winds, head tide and fog, and it was thought that most of the boats had anchored some where in Vineyard sound.
 At 8 o'clock this morning when the boats here began preparations. to get under way, the fog had lifted consid- erabIy. but the sky had not cleared and only the slightest breath of air was stirring. It seemed probable that another long, tedious day was ahead, although the yachts would have fair tide until well after noon. ~
 The starting time was as follows. Reliance, 1O:31.24; Constitution, 1O:31.46; Columbia, 1O:30OO.
 Immediately after crossing the line 1uffing match took place and Reli- ance and Columbia struck on Middle Ground. The Reliance fioated in two minutes but the Columbia was stuck fast. Columbia's tender went to as- sist the yacht and also struck and stuck. The tug Storm King went to the assistance of Columbia, and after considerable time had elapsed she started on a long chase after her two rivals. It is not thought that the Re liance is injured.
