Nine. Stanley said in part:
There are those poor creatures
known to the world as scoffers-prob-'
ably to be more pitied than censured
for their lack of intellectual status
who scoff at anything and everything
beyond their comprehension, doing
little good and much harm, even con-
taminatng the narrow rut along which
they travel The world is no better,
but much worse off, for their existing.
However, we cannot deny the fact Of
their great following, any more than
we can deny the fact Of their too evi-
dent existence
Every one has a right to his own
personal opinion--the right to express
and advocate It: but no moral or per-
sonal right to scoff at the opinion or
advocacy of another's belief, no matter
how absurd or ridiculous that opinion
or belief may seem to be, much less to
scoff at clairvoyance-nothi more
nor less than prophecy-when 1t Is
founded upon indisputable facts chron-
icied by history itself.

SHAMROCK MODELS ARRIVE
Are Present to New York Athletic
Club From Sir Thomas
Upton
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Three models
of the three Shamrocks have arrived
on the steamship Minnehaha from
London.
They are for the New York Yacht
club and have been presented to that
club by Sir Thomas LiRton.
Last years model committee worked
very actively to get complete set Of
models of all the yachts that have
raced for the Amerlcac cup, and Sir
Thomas Upton. appreciating the worth
of such a collection, donated the mod
els of the Shamrocks to the club
through that committee.
They are built to scale and are said
to be the handsomest set of models
ever made. Every detail OF rig, hull
and sail of the yachts Is fully shown.
The models are In three large glass
cases and while on exhibition at the
Royal Thames Yacht club were very
much admired.
They will be valuable additions to the
New York Yacht clubs collection,
which is now the finest in the country.

Probably the greatest prophet Of
whom we have record was Christ
Jesus foretold many things of himself
and they were all minutely fulfilled
Concerning these predictions he said
to his disciples: Now, 1 tell you be-
fore it comes that, when it has come to
pass We may believe that / am he.'
He did not only foretell his death and
resurrection, but also the manner in
| which it would happen, and the par.
! ticular circumstances: That one OF
the twelve (Judas) would betray him;
that the rest would all be offended at.
him and flee; that Peter would deny,
him thrice; that he should be betrayed,
to the chief priests and delivered to
the Gentiles; that they should mock
and scourge and cruelty him, but that
he should rise the third day and show,
himself to his disciples in Galilee; of
the destruction of jerusalem and other
important events.
Most of these events did not seem
very likely to ever happen. No human
intellect could predict them; no human
power could bring them about. He
who so minutely and definitely could
foretell these and many other events
must have had perfect knowledge of
the human heart and of the future
Following is Nine. l.. @. Stanley's
prophecy, as prophesied by her in her
South Spring street, yesterday after,
noon in the presence of large number
of her business clients:
America is yet doomed to have an
other war-an internal war-which will
be more horrible than the revolution
ary war. There will be more suffering
and more bloodshed and greater con-
1icts. The cause will be the rights Of
oppressed organized labor against that
of combined capital supported by the
government. International complica-
tions will arise disastrous to the gov
ernment itself. Foreigners, those not
affiliated with organized labor, will be
slain-driven from the country-no
mercy will be shown them. Immigra-
tion of slave labor to this country will
cease for all time. The conflict will be
decisive, contested inch by inch. Or
ganized labor will win. The present
form of government, to an extent, will
be overthrown. Then will come reform
and public ownership of public utili-
ties"
"When will all this occur?
"The third executive term, after Mr..
Roosevelt's term expires, will not be
completed when the things have
prophesied will come about.
Meantime, inside of the next five
years there will be great financial
crisis, foreign complications of Sc
rious nature, great distress ahroughout
the United States riots and strikes
almost without number, great loss OF
life, great fires and railroad disasters,
and the forming of a new political
party, in which that Of Democracy will
he ingulfed" "

All is in readiness at San Diego for
the Upton cup races, which will COM

For months past the various crafts Of
the South Coast Yacht club have been
undergoing considerable overhauling.
and they were in the pink of perfection
when they left their moorings at
Terminal island.
New sails, new fittings and new ev-
erything marked the labor made upon
the yachts. Bottoms of the crafts
have been thoroughly scraped and re-
coppered The decks have also been
scraped and the masts revarnished.
The last of the boats flying the bur

1t is asserted that the old Mischief

have hardly made anything of a show

considered an expensive one.
The Aeolus is the most feared con-
tender in the race, as her sailing quail

1t is understood that she was designed
for light breeze sailing.
The Monsoon is not feared much, al.
though her owner expects to spring
something of a surprise with his crack

centers around Walter Folsoms Mis-
chief II. and considerable is expected

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, August 4.-The United
Hunts Steeplechase association has be-
gun work on the new course directly
across the Hampstead turnpike, oppo-
site the main entrance to Belmont park.
A grand stand will be built, and the
course will be about a mile in circum-
ference. Work will be pushed so as to
complete the course for the fall meet
ing.
The success of the past two meet
ings of the association led to a desire
for a permanent home.
The sale of Morris Park race track Tor
building purposes made it doubly nee
essary to secure an available site tor
a permanent course, If the annual fall
meeting was to be held this year.
Fearing the owners of the different
properties under consideration might
hold out for a big price the committee
did not announce its plans until every
thing was adjusted.
One of the features of the fall meet
| ing will be the military steeplechase, In
which officers from the various military
stations in and around New York, West
| Point and other centers, Will compete
The event is indorsed by the military
authorities at Washington, Genera
| Fred D. Grant and the staff in the
east, and all the leading army officers
Assurances have been received which
make the event a most successful one
and insure for it a permanent place
on the program of the association.
1t is probable that novel plan may
he introduced at the first meeting of the
association at the new track. To avoid
a clash in dates with the other racing
associations the steeplechase meeting
at the new track may begin at II
o'clock in the morning.
Under such a plan cross-country en-
thusiasts would have chance to Wit

NEW YORK CLUBS
TO GIVE FIGHTS
COURT DECIDES THAT 1T IS
LAWFUL
Long Acre Athletic Club Must Be
Given Credit for Fighting for
Rights of Clubs and VIM
ming Victory
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-There Is
very strong prospect of a resumption of
Cueensbury activity in this city, on the
basis of the three-round game that was
so popular till Governor Higgins put
stop to it.
To the Long Acre Athletic club must
be given the credit of fighting for the
rights of the clubs and finally winning
victory in the courts, under which
that club is holding entertainments.
The police have reached the conclu-
sion that when three judges of the court
of special sessions decide that the box
ing entertainments as conducted by the
Long Acre A. c.. are strictly in con-
formity with the law, it is not for the
police department to interfere.
Just before the last entertainment the
club applied to the court of general
sessions for an injunction to prevent
any interference by the police, but
Judge Mexican denied the application
on the ground that such an order was
wholly superfluous. as the club was
entirely within it's rights and could not
be interfered with so long as it adhered
to the letter and spirit of the law.
Every one of the 800 members of the
club had been notified in advance that
! an entertainment, to be preceded by
business of Importance, was on the
cards.
The Long Acre A. c.. has always in
sisted that any one desiring to become
member must make application a
week in advance of action by the club,
and no one who has not been bona
fide member of the club has ever been
admitted-te the club house.
The news that the Long Acre club
had won its fight against the illegal in
reference of the police was matter of
congratulation among the officials and
members of other clubs that had been
closed by the order of Governor Hig-
gins, and there is small doubt that
many of them will open their doors in
the near future.
