CHALLENGER WON
DECISIVE VICTORY.

Beat Shamrock 1 More Than %
Minutes in Twenty Mile Race.
Atlantic Highlands, N j., Aug. g.
Twenty-Five and a half minutes in
twenty-mile race, which occupied lit
tie more than three hours in the sail
ing, was the beating administered to
Shamrock l by Sir Thomas Lipton's
new cup candidate to-day. No shift
of wind nor calm helped or hindered
either boat. The challenger's victory
was without q. flaw.
An overcast sky with threat of rain
induced Mr.. Fife to limit the course
to twenty miles, a beat of ten miles
south-southeast from Scotland light
ship and return. To avoid a blanketing
by the challenger Shamrock I feigned
a start. Running from windward to
the starting line she shaped a course
alongside the new boat as the latter
crossed the line. A minute later she
put about, returning to the line, and
made a new start
The boats went off on different
tacks, but Shamrock III soon tackled
and both headed eastward. The chal-
lenger quickly demonstrated that it
was the kind of weather in which she
was at her best. The old boat hardly
gave her a race.

petty officers mess ON Wednesday,
eight other members of the mess arose
and left the table when he sat down.
Miller ate his dinner as IL nothing out
of the ordinary had happened. Since
then he has had no company at his
meals. He has been allowed. when he
reached the table first.e to eat alone.
and when others preceded him he has
waited until they finished eating.
Capt. Snow said Millers rights would
be protected. as the navy makes no
distinction as to color.
