.SUElEW LOSES BY FOUL
Eleventh Race in Lower Bay
Series by Spider.
10Y IS HANDICAP WINNER
Fog Compels Use OF Inside
Course for Large Graft,
Despite the Rules.

Under the direction Of the Crescent
Athletic Club, the eleventh race TO count
on the yacht racing championship OF the
Lower Bay was decided of the Atlantic
Yacht Club yesterday. The weather con-
ditions were not the best for an interest
ing and we'll fought regatta. When the
committee, made UP OF A. f. Aldridse.
G. A. Kelly and Alvah Nickerson. set the
course signals, the Lower Bay was almost
hidden by heavy fog.
Under the circumstances the committee
used excellent judgment by keeping all
the craft within Gravesend Bay. Being a
championship race. the rules called for
an outside course for the larger classes.
The point however, was obviated by
sending the craft three times around the
inside course. II vas done only after the
boat owners had agreed 70 the change.
Edgar F. Luckenbach had an excellent
chance OF winning In the . Glass. He
was leading in his Suelow at the end OF
the first round. The course took the craft
from Sea Gate 10 Bensonhurst, 10 Fort
Hamilton and back 70 Sea Gate. As the
wind came from the southeast, the craft
had a reach on the starboard tack to the
first mark a gybe and a broad reach TO
Fort Hamilton, and then stiff beat 10
Sea Gate against both wind and tide.
At the Sea Gate mark. during the second
round, the Alice fouled the Suelew and
put the latter craft out of the running.
II allowed the Spider TO slip into first
place, and that yacht took the division By
almost one minute from the Suelew. The
Joy won the first division OF the handi-
cap class. These boate were stopped at
the end Of the second round.

THE TWO CENT FARE RATE.
Railroads Prosperity Plea Is Likely to
Cut Profits.

Jackson.-A highly diverting situation
has arisen in regard to the railroads OF
the state, which is likely to result IN
some unappreciated legislation, from the
point of view of the railroads, at least.
The matter was explained by the de-
partment heads of the railroads that
traffic was so heavy, the conductors were
being overworked, and were really not
able to collect all the tickets md all
the fares and run the trains, too,
Some of the members of the incoming
prosperity of the railroads therefore,
which has gotten so great that IT taxes
two men to take up tickets ana lares
now. It has interested these members
of the legislature who have an eye to
the public welfare. They have reasoned
that such an amount of prosperity ought
to be divided with the people, and the
fares ought to be reduced a bit, so there
will be bills introduced providing LOT
, flat two-cent rate in Mississippi.
