SEVERAL ARRESTS.

1.-TWO human derelicts were picked
up by the police Of the city yesterday
and languished in the lookup until
noon today, when they were once
more set adrift. They are in every
way dereltcts. They infest the chan.
nels Of land traffic and pedestrians
avoid them as would a sailing master
q useless hull on the high seas. ~
Banjo Jim managed to find enough
old acquaintance yesterday to get
him polluted with rotten ,whislsey
and was locked up4at 4 p. NJ. There
Is not particle Of use 10 arraign
him before the mayor, for he has
never had a cent and he can be in
duced TO leave town that is all the
police are after. He doesn't seem
very anxious TO get away, but will
likely be made toalcave in the morn.

1 The other is a partially paralyzed
NEGRO who has been begging on the
street corners whenever the police are
moi watching. He evidently had been
doing a thriving business here, for he
certainly had few bits worth Of
booze under his rags when Officer
Morris got him at the depot at noon
yesterday
This officer was instructed by the
Ghetto get them out Of the city IF
that We're possible, SO the crippled

Village where he could rusticate and

THIRD DAY SHOOTING
SEA GIRT TOURNAMENT
Attendance Large and Enthusiastic Attracting
Much Attention in Military CircleS--MedaIs
and Cash Prizes.

Sea Girt n. j., Aug. 26.-The rifle
teams VINO came here to compete in
the team matches of the tournament
under the auspices of the National Ri
file association, were out bright and
early this morning, to be on time at
the opening of the first day of the
team shooting. Notwithstanding the
early hour the number of visitors was
very large. The shooting began at 8
O'Clock in the morning. The first ey-
ent was the contest in slow shooting
on the 200 and 600 yard ranges Ow-
ing to the large numbers of teams
competing this part of the program oc-
cupied all forenoon.
In the afternoon there will be a con-
test in rapid fire shooting at the 200
and 500 yard ranges.
Some excellent scores were made
during the morning, but it will take
some time to figure out the score of
the various teams.
This is the third day of the great
national shooting tournament which
began Thursday under the most favor
able auspices. The arrangements on
the camping ground of the competing
teams and on the range are as nearly
perfect as they can be made and ev-
erything works smoothly and satisfac-
torily. Thousands of visitors, among
them many officers of the army. are
here and watching the work of the eX-

By Long Odd Most Highly Priced Trophy Offered
TO Sport in All the English
Colonies.
YET AMERICANS INVITED TO CONTEST FOR IT
Not to Be 0udOne in Courtesy an American Offers Another
Cup for Nova SCOtian
Contest
At CONCLUDING GRAND FESTIVAL CUPS TO BE PRESENTED

Halifax, ~ s., Aug. 26,--The fleet
est keels of the Canadian and Eastern
Yacht clubs are assembled in Halifax
harbor to attend the annual yacht
races for the Prince of Wales cup,
the most coveted trophy ever con-
tested for in any of the British colo
nies. The yachts of the New York
Yach club and of the Eastern Yacht
club, which took part in the ocean
races from Marblehead to Halifax, ar
rived here in good shape, and are now
the guests of the Royal Nova Scotia
Yacht club. In view of the fact that
there is probably not yacht in Nova
Scotia equal in speed to many of the
American yachts just in from the
ocean race, it was highly unselfsh
and sportsmanlike act of the Royal
Nova Scotia Yacht club, to extend an
invitation to the American visitors
to compete with the Nova Scotia and
other Canadian yachts for the magnifi-
cent prize.
| The cup was originally presented to
! the Halifax Yacht club when the pres
ent King then the Prince of Wales,
visited Halifax in 1860. 1t is beauti-
| full specimen of the silversmith's art,
| standing two feet high and of great
artistic value. When the Halifax club
J went out of existence in 1898 and the
, Royal Nova Scotia club was formed,
the latter received the trophy from
the Halifax Yacht club ais a legacy.
| The trophy has never left the waters
on which it was first sailed for. Ac-
cording to the condition, the trophy
can be kept by the winning yacht only
nine months, when it must be re-
turned to Halifax, to be competed for
again the following season.
Not TO be outdone in courtesy by the
Nova Scotia yaehtsmen, Mr.. Laurence
Minot has offered a trophy to be com
peted for by Canadian yachts at the
same time when the Prince of Wales
cup is sailed for. the trophy is a
handsome silver cup, the decoration
of which are symbolical of the inter.
national character of the race and OF
the good feeling existing between the
yachtsmen of the two countries rep
resented in the races.
The first race was sailed today over
a course of twenty-five miles off Hall
fax harbor. Under the regulations OF
the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht club, ac-
cording to which the measurements
of the yachts is determined by multi.
plying the load water line by the sail
area and dividing the result by 5000
several of the American boats were
barred from competing in the race.
Nevertheless, both the New York
Yacht club and the Eastern Yacht
club were represented at the starting
line, when the signal for the begin,
ming Of the race was given this morn,
ing.
This evening the visiting yachtsmen
from the United States will be the
guests of the Royal Nova Scotia
Yacht club at grand celebration al
their club house. On that occasion
many government officials and promi
nent officials will also be present tc
greet the American yachtsmen. The
American yachts will remain here fol

It will take nearly 10000 men to do
this, and General English already has
over 5000 names on his books. Among
them are some of the most promi-
nent military men in the country, and
hardly a state in the Union but is rep
resented.
r. A. Falkenberg of San Francisco,
is the commander in chief OF the army
and holds a commission signed by
LeOng Kai Chen, a member of the
GENERAL E. F. ENGLISH.
Chinese privy council and the head of
the Chinese Reform society, which
has some 100000 members in China
and many in this country. Until re-
Gently Kang Yu Wei was the Chinese
representative in this country, but he
was depOsed by the Chinese emperor.
However, he is now in New York col
lecJing money for the movement, and
as a result the Chinese in this coun-
try are divided and a bitter war he
tween the two elements is the result.
So active have the refOrmers been
in this country that cadet corps COM
posed of Chinese were formed at San
Francisco, Fresno, Los Angeles, Sac
TamentO, St. Louis, New York and
Philadelphia, but within a short time
the governors Of the states where
these companies are located, have di-
rected that they be discontinued be-
cause Of the constitutional prohibition
for aliens 10 bear arms and because of
a hint from the state department at
Washington that this movement was
iuOppOrtune and might be miscOn-
strued by China, a friendly power.
General English SAYS that Falken-

perts with great interest. Governor
Stokes and many members of his
staff were in attendance this morn
ing and with them were number of
prominent visitors, who ere here as
the guests of the governor.
Yesterdays program was of particu-
lar interest to military men and the
majority OF those watching the morn
ing's work were either connected with
the regular army or the state militia
of various states. The morning was
taken up by skirmish runs for individ-
ual scores and some excellent work
was done. This event is. to some eX-
tent, practice for the skirmish shoot
ing of the teams which will take place
on Tuehday of next week. The pre-
liminary event included two skirmish
