OPEN EVERY NIGHT.

About two years ago a number of
the leading merchants in the upper
part of Main street, including the
butchers and grocers throughout the
town, agreed to close their stores and
places of business at 6 o'clock We'd
nesday night and signed a petition to
that effect. They have all stuck to
that agreement until last night, when
the stores of Henry Levinson and
Michael Levinson were kept open,
the former closing about 8 o'clock. 1t
is said the reason for their keeping
open is that Sameul Sacks, who has
opened a gents furnishing goods de-
partment in connection with his tail
or shop in his new building, is keep
ing his store open on this night, al
though Sacks never signed the agree
ment and has always kept his place
open. 1t now looks as If the We'd
nesday night closing rules will be
broken. Other merchants say if these
stores keep open they will also open
their doors. A meeting will probably
be called to adjust matters sometime
this week.

BAIL THEMSELVES OUT.

Under an order just issued by De-
putty Police Commissioner Waldo.
who is in charge while General Bing-
ham is on his vacation, chauffeurs
hereafter arrested for fast driving
can promptly bail themselves out of
the clutches of the police and resume
their trips without loss of time.
Books containing six bonds of $500
each have been issued by the Nation
al Surety Company for the last six
months and it was intended that
whenever an owner or his chauffuer
was arrested he could pass out a bond
which made the corporation respon-
sible for his appearance in court.
Sometime sergeants in police stations
accepted these sureties and at other
times they refused them.
Several have been taken at the sub
precinct station here in the past two
months.
The deputy commission has sent
word to all stations that after this
the bond should be accepted il the
sergeant felt reasonably certain that
the man who presented it was the
one named in the bond.
The chauffeur signs his name to
the document and the signature must
correspond with the one on the cover
of the book.
Under the present arrangement the
chauffuer is entitled to six arrests a
year and he may get a rebate if he
does not get all the trouble for which
he paws.

Three Yankee Yachts In Leac
For Roosevelt Cup.
The VIM OF NEW YORE FIRST.
OF the kaiser's Three Chnllen~ers
Wannssee Did the Best Work. but
None of Them In 1t With
Our Filters.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Sept. g.
Three American boats sailed across
the finish line in the race Tor the
Roosevelt cup well in advance OF the
three German ~challengers.
The Vim, designed by William Gard
ner and owned by Commodore 1. l..
Park of the American Yacht club or
New York, won the contest through
her brilliant windward work, coupled
with splendid running qualities. chi
ford Buchanan. her amateur skipper,
sailed the craft perfectly the o
time oyel the course. although he lost
during the first time by taking Il long
hitch inshore with the tide.
The Caramba, owned by {. Ill. w.
Foster. was the second boat, finishing
thirty-two seconds behind the Vim,
while the AUX, winner of Mondays
race, was third to finish, twenty-five
seconds behind the Caramba.
or the three German challengers the
Wannssee did the best work, but az
that no II of them seemed to nave 4
chance with the American yachts ut
any stage of the race. The Wannssee
finished the race 3 minutes 20 seconds
behind the Vim and was thlrty-seven
seconds ahead of the Glueckauf w.,
the fifth racer to finish. The lilly VI,
the pride of the German fleet and Win
ner of nearly all the races for the
Sender Klasse at Kiel, Germany, was
the last boat across the finish line.
The lilly VI. had luck on the first
leg to windward. getting into all the
soft spots. She was an even nine min
utes behind the Vim ut the end of the
race. The German yachtsmen express
ed themselves as much surprised at
the results of the two races that have
been sailed, but do not admit yet that
their chances of lifting the Roosevelt
cup are gone.
The three American boats led the
the course and were mt the fore during
the remainder of the race. For Il time
it looked as if the Wannssee was going
to reach the windward mark in the
van, but this was due to Il slight shift
in the wind which let up the German
craft nicely.
The start of the yachts was excel
lent. and although there was some
close work at the line there was no
danger of fouling. The German skip
pers demonstrated that they know the
fine points of ma|neuvering behind the
line, for all three of their boats were
berthed at the windward end of the
line, with the Vim and AUX under their
lee.
Nearing the outer mark the breeze
became truer, and then the battle set
tied to one between the three American
yachts, the AUX and the Caramba hay
ing Il particularly close battle. Spin
makers were used OIL the run back to the
starting line, and while the AUX and
Vim We're engaged in, d lutiing match
the Caramba pulled away Il trifie.
Rounding the flag mark at the start
sheets were hauled fiat for a second
beat to the windward. The Vim took
a very long tack to port and was favor
ed by n less bow tide. When she came
about on the starboard tack Il half
mile from the turning mark she crossed
the bows of the entire fleet. Then she
led the fleet on to the finish.
