AMMUNITION HALTED
 AT NEW YORK PORT
Custom House Officials Hold Up Con- signmeEt from Bridgeport for
 Mexican Rebels.

New York, June 2.-Five hundred tons of ammunition ordered by the Mexican constitutionalists, which ar rived in New York today from Bridge port, Conn.,, will not be allowed to leave this port. Although it was stated at the custom house that no instruction in the matter had been received from Washington, officials declared that it was probable that any vessel bearing arms or ammunition consigned to either of the Mexican factions would be refused clearance papers.
 The ammunition was brought here on the Bridgeport Lines steamer Naugatuck, and it was understood m shipping circles that the load will be lightered to the Ward Liner Antilla which is to sail late today for Tam pico Officials of the Ward Line re- fused to say whether the shipment had been offered for the Antilla. Agents for the company which mann- factured the ammunition admitted that 1t had arrived here.
 While any vessel carrying the am munition will likely be refused clear ance papers if the shipment is con- signed to a Mexican port, it might he sent to some Central American or West Indian port and then reelected for Mexico.

RIFLE IN PARK MAY
 SOON BE EXCHANGED
Department Commander Streeter Thinks That an Old Time Cannon
 May Be Secured Soon.

In an interview this morning con- cerning the Maxim orfeldt rapid fire gun located in Central park, Depart ment Commander Frederick ". Streeter, of the C. Army, stated that it is possibl an exchange may he effected bt =; long whereby the rapid fire gun .-4Iy be replaced by an older cannon, such as was used during the Civil war.
 Commander Streeter said through the courtesy of Congressman Augus- tine Lonergan to Judge B. F. Gaftney an offer was made to furnish a can- non and shells for ornamental pur- poses to Stanley Post in this city. The veterans accepted this offer and ad- vised their commander, F. V. Streeter to pursue the necessary course to have the gun shipped to this city.
 "The navy department at Wash ington ordered the department at Portsmouth, N. H., to forward the gun to this city immediately that 1t might he displayed on Memorial day. The shells were such as were used during the Civil war in ten men mortar, but the gun located in the park is one used for rapid firing.

Cup DsftEdng Candidates Hold
 First Race on 1. l. Sound.
RERRElHOFF BOAT FOOTS EASIER
Vanitie Crosses Starting Line Thirty four Seconds After Her RiVaI-No Evidence of Poor Drawing Sail
 Cloths.-Defiance Unable to Start.

Rye, N. Y, June 2.-When the cup class yachts Vanitie and Resolute made sail today for their initial con- test in the long series of races for the selection of the American boat, preliminary to the cup struggles in September. there was not wind enough to fiutter the private signals at the peaks of the mainsails. The weather was clear.
 The two yachts lay side by side all night in Glen Cove, some ten miles from the start. With them was d good sized fleet of boats that will fol- low the contest, including the tenders Cap Cod and City of Stamford. Much regret was expressed over the inability of the Defiance, the third aspirant for cup defending honors, to enter the contest today. The tri- city yacht was still undergoing changes in her rig, which it is hoped will be completed by Saturday so that she may enter the race given the yachts on that day by the Larchmont Yacht club.
 Ready to Start
 1H0 lOTeHlOSJ ndHuS on the NdnltlG and Resolute were early astir today and by bells in the morning watch headsails had been sent up in stops. Mainsails were hoisted a little later but the yachts prepared to be lowed down the Sound to the start.
 Captain Dennis of the Vanitie said this morning:
 We are not in shape just yet but We are going in to give the other boat a race. We have not had more than four sail trials but the yacht acts fine"
 Resolute Crew Confident.
 Those on the Resolute seemed very confident of making good showing against the Cochran boat.
 The regatta committee hoisted a code signal at 12:05 D. m., indicating poStponement of the race until later in the day. e ..-.--.s.s.-.- .... -..
 As the morning wore on a fresh northwestern of some fifteen knots came skipping over the Sound. These con- ditions prevailed when the ResoIute and Vanitie slipped their moorings in Glen Cove harbor.
 An Ideal Day for Race.
 It was an ideal day for a yacht race.
 The Vanitie carried besides her big mainsail, a stay sail, jib and club top sail. She stood up we'll in the breeze. The Resolute has a single head rig. In her tuning up spin today she carried a mainsail, jib and club top sail.
 The regatta committee boat went to the starting line three miles westward of Great Captains Island, where the racing officials laid out the sailing course.
 The yachts stood away on a long reach of fifteen miles up the Sound in a northeasterly direction.
