Light Breeze for Yachts in
Annual Races
By HERBERT HAUSER

The fourteenth annual interclub
yacht association regatta for the To-
seph B. Macdonald trophies was sailed
yesterday afternoon in light breeze,
which at times barely waited the boats
along The starting, one gun one,
was exceedingly good, nearly all the
yachts getting over the line in good
shape
feet. Stevens in the speedy little Ruby
soon took the lead and at no time was
his craft ,, in any an danger OF being over er-
Carthy,s new sloop. which was expect
ed to give the Corinthian boat a rub
Presidio shoals buoy and was forced
TO retire from the contest.
AS was expected. the % foot class
brought out the race of the day, ana
though the fleet Merry Widow crossed
the finishing line first, it could not
overcome the Discovery's handicap and
was beaten by one minute and 3S sec
onds corrected time. Rousseau lost
considerable time in rounding the north
stakeboat of southampton shoal, but 1T
was only the clever handling of the
Macfariand's yacht. The Neva. late in
starting, was not in the going for a
minute
For quite while it looked as if
Phillips in the Monsoon was going to
give the Challenger a hot fight for the
30 foot honors, but Morrow's boat was
TOO lluGA ana Won Oul Will lOui llliit-
utes and nine seconds to spare. Nor
row. as usual. handled his boat superb
~ and rounded the various stakes with
great deXterity.
Frank Stone could have sailed his
Presto over the course twice and prob
ably have beaten his opponents The
Corinthian boat was all the class and
was handled only Stone can.
The Yankee. sailed by~young Miller
covered the course in the fastest time
OF the day, two hours 21 minutes and
II seconds. Running before the wind.
with spinnaker and even watersail set
il made a beautiful picture. which the
numerous camera flends on MeiggS
wharf took advantage Of. The Speed
well was never in the running. 1t was
not like the. days when Tom Jennings
had the wheel.
The Corinthian yacht club had four
entries in the regatta, every one of
which won its class.
But few people took advantage of
the steamer Gold. which followed the
races, though the day was an ideal one
for a bay excursion.
The regatta was well handled by the
August Brandes of the California Yacht
club chairman: George 3. Dinsmore of
the san Francisco yacht club, Elmer E.
Johnson of the AeoIian yacht club W
A. Sutherland of the Golden Gates and
Douglas Erskine of the Corinthians
Commodore George NJ Shaw OF the
California club officiated as referee and
Douglas Erskine and Phil Fay as
timers.
The following table gives the re-
suits.

Horse Racing
I Especial Dispatch 10 The Cali

DUBLIN. Sept. 11.-Richard Croker
at one time Tammany boss of New
York has raced his last horse. He has
definitely abandoned the turf as a race
horse owner and henceforth he Will de-
vote himself to breeding thorouga9reds
for sale.
All his racehorses were sold the
other day. to the great regret of all
sporting Ireland. to which Croker has
been a big benefactor.
Croker gives up racing somewhat
disgusted, If not embittered by his ex-
perience. He has always raced with
absolute straightness. but he has been
in the hands OF a succession of men
who fieeced him.
Not only did he spend immense
sum as a racehorse owner. but when
ever he had good thing he usually
found that others. 10 whom his stable
secrets were known beforehand. were
getting the cream of the odds from
the book makers. while Croker had to
be content with the SKINNED milk.
Il have finished subscribing for
motor cars for the boolies. he re-
marked zrimly TO friend with whom
he was at the Phoenix races the other
day.

Judge William II. Mann adj
dressed the voters of Mathews at
the Court House and at Laban
on Saturday. Judging by the
large crowd which listened to him
on both occasions and the express
Sions OF approval uttered bv many
persons from among the audiences
his strength herc,was much in
creased by his visit. He was in
PRODUCED at Mathews &. H.. by
Mr.. l.. c. Garrett in an appro-
pirate speech and proceeded TO
outline his platform and his posi-
ton on all the noted questions in
a strong speech.
lie first discussed the subject
of education and told the People
that he had as far as possible re-
deemed his promises in the be-
half OF education which he had
male four wears ago. He en-
planned the High School bill and
told OF the increase of ii num-
Der Of high schools in the state
from : to $50, condition largely
attributable to this bill of which
he was the patron. He next dis
cussed the roads question and
made some very reasonable sug-
gestions for their betterment. The
old confederate soldi~s also came
in for 4 share Of his attention and
he declared himself III favor of
the highest possible pensions for
the old veterans.
The remainder of his speech
was devoted to plain and frank
discussion OF the charges brought
against him by Mr.. Tucker. lie
declared that he had made no
union either directly or indirectly
with the liquor people and said
that if any Ct his friends had made
any sIch league he would refuse
TO be bound by its contracts. That
the charge that he refused TO vote
Tor bill to cut out the sale of
whiskey on trains was false one
since the granting Of any such H.
cense was strictly forbidden bv
the Byrd law. for which he voted
and that had he voted at all it
would have been against the a.
mcndmcnt. lie affirmed chat lie
was elected readjuster Judge be-
cause he had no opposition, the
only other aspirant, a readjuster
being unable to pass the
committee on character. His
refutation of these charges was
absolutely clear and noticably
frank and could scarcely fail to
impress his audience.
He was greeted by a magnii-
cent audience at Laban and made
practically the same speech the
difference being that at the re-
quest of members OF his audience
he discussed Mr.. fuckers record
in 1896 and also his management
OF the Jamestown Exposition.
