old Time BOAT RACE.
May DO Run from st. Louis to
New Orleans. Some
Famous Races.

Sir Thomas Lipton's interest in
aquatic racing has taken new
turn. Ii is reported that he has
offered a prize OF $4,000 for al
Old fashioned steamboat race on
HE Mississippi river.
r He will impose no conditions, il
10 said, save that the fastest boats
on the river shall contest. III the
offer 10 accepted it is understood
that the date of the contest will be
fixed 90 as to allow Sir Thomas to
attend while on his trip to the
United States to Gift the cup
The race will probably be from
New Orleans to st. Louis.
The idea Of the race came TO Sir
Thomas when reading Mark
Twaiu's Life on the Mississippi"
in which the old steamboat races
are 80 graphically described.
The simple love of sport is the
sole object of Sir Thomas in of.
sring the prizs He expects, it is
said, to announce his plan in few
days.
The steam boat record between
New Orleans and st Louis is held
by the Robert f. Lee, which made
the trip in 3 days, Is hours and Il
minutes, in the famous race with
the Natchez. The distance 10
about 1900 miles.
There have been many famous
races, many strenuous record
breaking efforts on the MISSISSIPPI

"was the John j. Roe, She was
30 slow" says Twain, that when
she finally sunk at Madrid Bend
it was FIVE years before the owners
heard of it.
River men used to say that one
of the greatest trips of the r. E.
Lee, in 1879, when she went from
New Orleans to Cairo in three
days and one hour was the fastest
-oE record.
At that time it lie estimated,
however, that the river distance
between those points was about
1000 miles, making the Lees av-
srage speed about l4i miles an
hour.
Champions of the long forgotten
Eclipse declare that when she
made this trip in 1853, she did it
in 3 days, 3 hours and 20 minutes,
but at that time, they claim the
distance was / $50 miles. Her av-
ersge speed was, therefore, some
thing under Ii 3-S miles per hour.
The fact is undisputed, however
that the time made by the r. E.

NORFOLK. Va. May 1l.-An exciting story
of the experience at sea Of the Argent lin 9
barkentine Vera Cruz. Of Buenos Ayres.
which was wrecked at Ocracoke Inlet.

to-day over the Government seacoast tele-
graph wires from Hatterns, n. C.
The Vera Cruz, with her lss Portuguese
immigrant passengers bound from the
Cape Verde Islands to New Bedford,
Mass, was within 1875 miles of the Massa-
chusetts coast two weeks ago when a ter
rife storm carried away the vessels sails
and drove her far to sea. 1t was thought
that the vessel would surely founder, and
most Of those aboard abandoned hope
Of ever reaching shore again. Jury sails
we're finally rigged, but another storm car
red these away. The barkentine arrived
of Ocracoke helpless late Friday and the
immigrants aboard had been drinking sea
water for five days, fresh water and food
Of all kind having given out.
The immigrants baggage and part
Of the ships deck had TO be burned for fire
to make as good condensation Of salt water
as possible
The captain Of the Vera Cruz. upon arriv-
ing Off the North Carolina coast, declared
he would never put to sea again with his
human freight That night bad storm
drove the ship ashore.
The crew and immigrants. numbering 443
souls all told, are still at the Portsmouth,

John McGrath Of 445 West Forty-second

had been much excited by the suicide Of

driven to death by a sort Of auto-hypnotism.

New HAVEN, May 1.-THE Yale Corpora
ton this afternoon approved the recon-
mendations OF the academic professors

The corporation also voted to allow for the
substitution, beginning in 1904. of additional

a movement begun nineteen years ago to
introduce fiexibility and continuity into
the college course. Hereafter the fol-
lowing eight courses will be open to fresh
men: Greek, Latin. French, German Eng
lish, mathematics. chemistry and history.
OF these eight courses, a freshman will
choose five; but under this restriction-that

THE ADIRONDACK ACCIDENT
Engineer Neville Explains That His Orders
We're Misleading.

UTICA, May ll.-Edward j. Neville OF
this city, engineer of the southbound train
on the Adirondack road which crashed
head-on into the northbound express on
Saturday afternoon. causing the death of
three persons and the injury OF twenty
eight others. explained this afternoon how
the wreck occurred.
He said he received two orders, ono to
meet train 851 at Nelson Lake and the other,
few minutes later, to meet "2d 05l' at
McKeever. His fireman read the second
"meet 85l at Mckeever,' not seeing the
second, and called it back to the engineer
the same way. Engineer Neville thinks
his thumb covered the "2nd," which
was on the edge of the sheet. He under
stood the second order TO mean that the
first was rescinded and that he was to
meet both sections at Mckeever, and thus
the cause Of the disaster is explained.
Coroner Hayes of Herkimer county went
to the scene of the wreck this afternoon
All the injured will recover.
