SPOILED MARcoNI SERVICE.
Malicious Intsrruption by Rival Wire-
 less Telegraph Companies.

Malicious Interruption by Rtvat Wire-
 less Telegraph Companies.
 New York, Aug. 25. There are three recognized methods of reporting yacht race: the wireless system, the fleet of small boats carrying the news from the course to the shore, and line of shore observers along the Jersey and Long Island coast. This was day on which all three systems proved failure. The experience Of two years ago demon- strated the comparative uncertainty of all wireless telegrap phy, but no one was prepared for the utter collapse of the system which occurred to-day. There were four competing systems. three of which were most active. The at mosphere above the triangular course was beating into hopeless confusion iso that the Marconi system. with all it's careful preparation. was available but for a single message throughout the entire day. It would not have been so #exasperating If the rival companies had been honestly striving to send their own bulletins, but much of the interference was obviously malicious
 Before the yachts had reached the first turn a thick haze overspread the course and shut then entirely from the view of the shore observers. Then sofne indulged in guessing match and one of Marconi's opponent companies pro- fessed to having received a message giving the hour. second and minute at which each boat turned the first mark. This was well enough until the official time was obtained from the committee been suspected from the beginning, that this so-called wireless company was publishing bulletins from shore ob- servations and wild guesses that had not been transmitted by wireless teleg- raphy at all

YACHTS IN GRAVE DANGER.
SEVERE STORM STRIKES SHAM
 ROCKS AND RELIANCE.
Narrow Escape for the Challenger Boats Driven from Anchorage Barely Escape Crashing Into Her Barr Gives Advice to shamrock Crew.

eS New York, Aug. 25.-A terrible north
 west wind and electrical storm struck
 Sandy Hook shortly after o'clock to-
 day and Shamrocks III. and l., Reliance and a fleet of 8 half dozen fine yachts, including the Erin, c. Oliver Iselin's $
 Sunbeam and the Herreshoff's Roamer were in great danger for a time. The
 yacht Eureka, breaking from her an-
 chorage, was blown violently against coal scow and carried the scow before
 it. It seemed for a time that the two
 boats would crash into Shamrock III, which lay almost in the path of the gale
 not hundred yards away.
 The Roamer. which was dangerously near the Shamrocks, began to. drag
 her anchor and despite efforts to hold her drifted down rapidly. Suddenly she
 swung against the Sunbeam and thus
 getting a chance to start her engines managed to get away from the danger
 line. The Sunbeam, too, as the blow in creased later again began to drag and
 in a moment went with crash against the scow, which also commenced to drift and for moment 1t looked as if Sham
 rock III. would be overwhelmed. cap- tain Barr on the Sunbeam yelled to the
 Shamrock watch:
 If-we cant hold you'd better pull up and drift away from us"
 This they appeared to do but a Hull
 aided the Sunbeam to hold for while
 and the wind began to decrease.
 Two steam yachts, the Giralda and the Allita, anchored further out in the
 Horseshoe were torn from their anchor
 age and came into bow and stern col
 lision. The bowsprits of one crashed through the stern of the other and the
 two, thus locked, drifted before the Wind dangerously near to the chal-
 lenger. The tug Cruizer saved them,
 pulling them apart and away from the other boats.
 Reliance lay in a position more out
 of danger.
 The moorings of Shamrock III. and
 Reliance held fast though the wind threw their bows around in the face of the gale violently and they tugged hard at their cables.
 Sir Thomas Lipton left the Erin be- fore the storm broke and with Colonel Smith, Colonel Burbank and Colonel Stewart commander of Fort Hancock, viewed the storm on the bay anxiously from the commanders headquarters on Sandy Hook. The wind reached a vel ocity of nearly forty-five knots. The sea, calm all day, was boiling furiously in less than five minutes after the gale struck. Tn half an hour after the storm broke in its fury: the clouds cleared away from a sky. brilliantly illuminated by the setting sun and the wind died out
 as rapidly as it had come. Only a few
 drops of rain fell.

London. Aug. 25.-The news of the second victory of the Reliance was re- ceived in London with little surprise. The crowds in the streets were even smaller than on the occasion of the first race. The papers devoted many edi- tions to the progress of the struggle, but there were only a few watches at the tickers and bulletin boards when the result was finally announced.
 Glasgow, Aug. 25.-There was a mark
 ed diminution in the crowds around the newspaper offices to-day waiting for the result of the yacht race for the Ameriea's cup and there was no excite ment when the finish times were post ed up. It is generally admitted that Captain Barr's seamanship is unequal led and the experts are willing to con- cede that Herreshoff is cleverer de- signer than has. yet been produced ill the United Kingdom. .~
