it was stated that there was some
question as to whether Emperor Viii.
liam would again offer a cup, for q

All doubt, however, has been put al
rest by the official nOtificat ton this
week that the trophy would be agar
offered. and with other prizes to be
given by the emperor it will be com.

qualifications being very much restrict
ed as in past years the emperor has
intimated that the race will be open
to all yachts belonging to recognized
yacht clubs. AS this will include
American boats the competition is
likely to be Of the keenest possible
character and viii possess unusual in

Cushing PARTY.
They Make a Big Catch-Find an Ex-
n,ess Company's Box.

The most successful fishing party of

terdav In the party We're E. c. Rob
ertson T d. Robertson. John Robert
son r u. Purvis r. d. Novel;, j. M.
Stoker and Ciias. Mcdonald.
While seining the river one of the
Young men discovered an iron box al
most completely sunk in the mud. At
ter an hours hard work, in which
some expert diving had to be done, the
young men finally succeeded in land
inc the aypected fortune. 1t was in
reality an expected fortune, for before
they landed it they had already deter
mined how the prize should be diVid-
ed. Mr.. Ed Robertson, the discoVerer,
was to have one-fourth of the gold
(for that is what they had decided was
i'm IT'D and the balance was to be diVid-
ed equally among the remaining mem
bers of the party.
Imagine their surprise and disap-
pointment. when after all their hard
labor. they found it to contain-Well,
what would YOU think? A small water
mocassin just about eighteen inches
long.
Although the box did not material
ize into a fortune it points to a robbery
which NAV have occurred over ten
wears ago. 1t was taken to Mr.. Bowen,
the manager of the Southern Express
company here, and he positively iden-
tilted it as an express messengers box
which kind was used by the Southern
Express company up until 1894.
one end of the lid was bent upward
as if il had been blown open, the lock
still holding 1t looks as if some one
robbed the box on the train and threw
it into the river where the Seaboard
crosses the Neuse, it being found about
six miles below this point, and it
could very easily have been washed
there in that time.
The party also landed about forty
pounds of nice fish, the largest weigh
ing about seven pounds, all of which
they exhibited in front of the News
and Observer office late yesterday af-
ternoon.
