TO RACE FOR The

New York.-With the new Sham
for the honor of defending the Amer
ica's Cup about to match speed in
Long Island Sound, the marine dope
sheet is again unrolled and yachtsmen
are perfectly happy. The coming race
promises to be as interesting as any
previous contest-with an excellent
chance for the Britishers. The re-
duced waterline of the new racers has
allowed the English builders to work
to better advantage in many ways,
while the result of their designing is
said to have possibilities that may
cause the American clippers to open
their eyes.
In comparison with the Yankee
models, an expert abroad who has
seen the challenger says the new
Shamrock is striking. When canted
on a good sailing angle we are told
that she sails upon straight lines for
the greater part of her entire length.
She is ugly and unconventional in
Vic AiOOCiAAG Va OOW anu oSOAh3 AhOtS
stubby and broader of beam than any
of the American contestants, and has
many minor features that are at direct
variance with the customary uses of
yacht designers. She is all wood.
Her deck is three feet narrower than
the hull just above the waterline, her
keel is long and curiously formed, her
rig is large, and her general construc-
ton seems to prophesy that her sail
area, which is not yet generally known,
will be considerably in excess of 5000
square feet. The English have work
ed hard to turn out model that will
return to England this autumn with
the cup of the America in her cabin,
and think that their new champion
will crowd the Yankee pretty closely.

LAURENCE IRVING A HERO.
Actors Son Lost His Life Trying To

boat doing DOWN. l said it looked
like it. 'Dearie, Irving then said to
his wife, hurry; there's no time to
lose.'
Mrs. Irving began to cry, and as
the actor reached for lifebelt the
boat suddenly lurched, and he was
thrown against the door of his cabin
His face was bloody and Mrs. Irving
became frantic.
keep COOL he warned her, but
she persisted in holding her arms
around him. He forced the lifebelt
over her and pushed her out of the
door, He then practically carried her
upstairs. / asked him if could help,
and Irving said, Look after yourself
first, old man, but God bless you all
the same"
Abbott said he left the two, man
and wife, struggling. Abbott got on
deck and dived overheard. He caught
hold of a piece of timber and then
looked around. Irving, by this time,
was on deck. He was kissing his wife.
AS the ship went down they were
clasped in each others arms.

twenty-sixth General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, meeting at
Fourth Church, Lincoln Park Boule-
ward and Delaware Place. for nine

social evil.
Named a committee to wipe out
deficits Of home and foreign mission
boards aggregating $4,000.
Indorsed national administrations
efforts to avert war with Mexico.
The final session of the assembly
found the commissioners in a some
what warlike mood. They refused
the Presbyterian Brotherhood the
$500 needed for its expenses, thus
practically ending its existence. They
reversed the action of the judicial
commission in the case of Percival
H. Barker, on trial for forgery and
falsifying. who appealed from the
Neosho Presbytery, and was exon
Grated by the commission, ordering a
new trial before the Presbytery. They
declined to act on the report Of the
committee on prison reform or capital
punishment, sending that over to next
year for fuller statement. The Rev.
W. A. Kinter, of the church narrative
committee, showed that the church has
membership of 1,446,490 in the
United States, net increase Of 49,

since the last report number 92,479.
