DIPPED RAGING SEA-
Motor Boat Talisman Raced
 Through Storm.
PLUCK WON FOR THE BOSTON CREW
For Two Days Little Vessel Battled
 Against Every Danger of the Deep Save Fire-Billows Rolled

Save Fire-BtllOws Rolled
 Clear over Her. . ..
 MARBLEHEAD, Mass, July 25.- Buffeted by wind and wave. lashed by sleet and hail, with her steering gear smashed and her crew exhausted from lack of food and sleep, the Talisman, owned by William Saville of Boston, swept over the finish line off the East ern Yacht club, winner of the 2S0 mile ocean race for motor boats from New York to this harbor. -s
 The Blink, owned by c. W. Esta- brook of Boston, was the second boat to finish. The Blink crossed the finish line at 5:31 o'clock last night, 8 hours 8 minutes and 4 seconds behind the Talisman. ...
 About two hours later the Aquilla, owned by A. H. Chase of Providence, and the Glissando. owned by F. l.. Andrews of Fall River, finished, the :ormer being four seconds in the lead.
 For two long days the, little Talis- man had battled against every danger of the deep save fire, and when MT. Saville, his three sons and friend, comprising the crew, stepped ashore they declared that for no amount of fame or money would they undertake such a voyage again.
 At times the huge waves, rolled up by a semigale out of the northeast, seemed completely to lift the frail craft out of the water, only to drop her again in sea trough with jolt which shook her from stem to stern.
 Then the pillows would roll her over until her keel almost showed, while the crew expected constantly to be sent to the bottom. There was no time for food, none for sleep. The mari ners made the two days journey with out mouthful to eat or catching so much as a nod.
 Off Pollock rip a giant of a wave hit the Talisman beam on, smashing her steering gear so that she was unable to hold a course. Fortunately it was possible to repair the damage, though the crew was ever fearful that the re- pairs would not hold.
 The Talisman made the run In 4o hours 24 minutes and 56 seconds.
 Although there was no abatement in the heavy weather when the Talisman ran into Cottage City to report, Cap | tain Saville determined to keep on. He said, however, that he never should have undertaken the run from Cot tage City to Highland light had he fully appreciated conditions. At one point a severe squall, like that of win ter. bringing with it hail and sleet, was encountered.
 The Wood Pile, one of the motor boat racers, took refuge at Cottage Point yesterday. The Talisman was the only one to attempt the journey to Marble head before the storm had abated.

TABLE OF PERCENTAGE
HIT WINS A BRIDE.

Altoona, Ia. July 25.-Cracking a three-bagger with two out and the bases full on July has won for t. J.. Wells, shortstop for the Altoona team, a bride. When at a critical stage of the game Wells stepped forward and almost knocked the cover off the ball pretty Gertrude Benefiel of Oklahoma City, who, with friends, was sitting In the grandstand, applauded more vigor- ously even than her companions.
 Isn't he dear?' she murmured. "l want to meet him.
 The meeting was arranged. It prov ed case of love at first sight, and yes terday the couple obtained marriage license. H. c. Pace, the Altoona pitch, CT, was the witness who enabled the pair to get the license.

 have been stricken in the past week. The most casual inspection of the slums will reveal the reason, and it is an old story. The East side is becoming more congested every year. The sidewalks swarm with them. ln rooms absolutely unventilated, except by the doors. six or eight children are sometimes packed away for the night. Little won der that the wretehed progeny of half fed parents crawl into railways, to fire escapes and out upon the roofs to sleep. The doorway crepe becomes a commonplace of the tenement districts. Dirty midgets brush thoughtlessly against 1t all day. and then fight for good viewpoint when the funeral hour comes. The white hearse is followed by one shabby carriage. lt is cheap fu- neral. but hesrt-breakingly expressive affair for poor family.
 This. I say. is DO new story. Yet it is a pity that it has 10 be told again. De- spite all the talk of reform. New York is about as badly of as ever in it's tene- ment quarters. New tenements have no, demolished the old ones The emi- grant ships unload thousands in day and the East side is more densely popu- lated than ever it was. Recreation piers punrtuste the river front: the Five Points is a park: the Ship is razed: Helrs Kitchen Is not so internal. breathing spaces are being cleared here and there; free baths float in many places. But the demand grows faster than the supply. New Yorks reforms lag slowly behind the need for them. And the children are dying-~dying thus about us every day |"

CREEDON LOST BOUT.

Old Dan Creedon and Billy McColl
 fought for the championship of Aus
 tralia at Newcastle the first week i'll June. The contest was disappoint- ment to the big crowd which assem- bled at the ringside. Creedon's eXhibl- ton was pitiful. In less than round Dan was curled up on the floor from a punch in the body and McColl was once more heralded the champion of Aus tralia. As soon as Creedon had re- covered from the blow he expressed re- sret that those present had seen so little for their money, but offered to fight McColl few rounds for love. His offer was not accepted and the sports adjourned very much sdisgusted With the fistic show.

 The cup will now be taken back to the United States. It was won in the first competition at Oyster Bay, \. Y., by a Canadian challenger and has since remained in Canada.
 Temeraire, a yacht designed by Fife. the British expert. won the second trial race and in all probability will be chosen to race for the Canada cup, now held by the Royal Ulster Yacht club. Zoraya finished second, six min utes behind Temeraire, in a fifteen mile breeze

NORWICH HAS FRIENDS.

Norwich. July 25.-The meeting O. the Norwich base ball team, to act OF the proposed sale of the franchise, was postponed last night. There is much sentiment here against disposing of the team. and it is thought that some will be made to have the team remain here. With New London in the circuit 1t is considered advisable to have Norwich in. New LOndon's prospects are exceptionally good, and because of that fact there is much op- position to N0rwich's withdrawal.
