Cut Down Resolute's Lead on
Last Leg.
FOURTH RACE TOMORROW

Sandy Hook, July 21.-Resolute, de.
fender Of the Americas yachting cup,
came back today after two straight de.
feats and won inagnificiently over the
British challenger, Shamrock Iv.
Shamrock finished scant half boat
length ahead, with lead of 19 seconds
but as she had precisely that advant
age at the start, the race was
Imiraculously in yachting events-a
dead heat over the 80 mile course.
Resolute won by the amount Of her
handicap, seven minutes and onse sec
ond. The fourth race of the series will
be started Friday.
Veteran yachtsmen who followed the
trim craft through the four hours,
three minutes and six seconds of rae
ing time, thought back over many
years of racing without being able to
conjure up picture that could COM
pare with today's spectacle. 1t was
real yacht race from the start, and
provided finish rivaling in closeness
that Of neck and neck horse race.
Resolute had taken the lead early
in her favorite 15-mile beat to wind
ward and rounding the stake with
about quarter Of a mile lead, slipped
swiftly down the wind with spinnaker
and balloon and topsail billowing su-
Iperbly.
But Shamrock W., with her greater
spread Of canvas, would not be denied,
and slowly but steadily closed up the
intervening distance, until, with little
more than a mile to go, her bowsprit
reached. then slowly began to creep
past the defenders stern.
Inch by inch, as the spectators watch
ed breathlessly, Shamrock w., moved
up and up. A mile from the stake
they were running neckand,neck
through the fluffy little whitecaps turn
ed up by the breeze They appeared
so close together from the press boats
that 1t seemed as If man might have
jumped from challenger to defender.
Actually, the distance was several
boat lengths. 44s ug a44
Shamrock ~ kept up the steady
crawl ahead until at the half mile
mark from the line she was nearly
full boat length ahead.
Then Resolute caught tiny extra
puff of wind from somewhere and
straining like a thoroughbred under
the leash, crept up slowly-almost
imperceptibly. She had got her bow
about even with the Shamrock's
towering mast when a puff OF steam
from the committee boats whistle
registered the Shamrocks finish.

RAILROAD LEADERS DIVIDED
Considerable Number Favor Accepting
Award of Wage Board.

Chicago, uly 22.-Heads of the great
railroad brotherhoods are divided in
their opinions today on the course
which shculd be pursued relative to
the acceptance or rejection of the
wage increase recently granted by the
railway labor board.
AT the close of an all night session,
at which no agreement was reached
on a plan for concerted action, six
bro;herhoods, in addition to Master
Mates and Pilots of America, had eX-
pressed a decision favorable to an
.cceptance Of the award in its entire
ty. Seven favored referring the ques-
ton to their union with recommen.
dation that it be accepted. Two were
undecided and one order of railway
telegraphers decided to reject the
award and was said to be preparing
for a strike ballot

FINDS ANCIENT ABODE
Camera Locates Cliff Dwelling In
Zion Canyon.
Probable That No Human Foot Has
Been in Dwelling for at Least
1900 Years.

Los Angeles. 49, Discovering from
Los Angeles q hitherto unknown cliff
dwelling 400 feet up 2,0O0-foot can
yon side in Utah is new expe-
rience.
1t was the experience of Eyre Pow
ell OF Al Wavecrest avenue. Venice,
who in enlarging unique photograph
taken with telephoto lens, made what
may prove to be one Of the greatest
archaeological discoveries Of recent
years in the United States.
The photograph was taken in Zion
canyon, Utah, recently /declared a
national park, and shows what ap-
parently is a cliff dwelling 400 feet
long and 6U or 20 feet wide. 1t is
probable, according to Mr.. Powell, that
no human foot has been in the dwell
ing for 1900 years or longer In
this fact lies it's chief archaeological
Importance, as other cliff dwellings,
found at the surface, have been the
homes of animals and much disturbed
since being inhabited by their original
builders.
The photograph was taken at
distance Of about three-quarters of
mile from the cliff, Mr.. sPowell
having no idea that it would reveal
anything of particular interest. The
portion of the photograph which
later was found to show the ancient
dwelling was less than a quarter Of
an inch in size. Through successive
engagements this was increased to
about - inches.
The dwelling is about 400 feet
above the top of the shale slide at
the base Of the cliff. Leading down
from the dwelling are traces Of the
ledge once used by the jewellers to go
up and down to their safe retreat.
These lodges have been almost COM
pletely eroded by the elements in the
lapse Of years, and it. Is safe to say,
according to Mr.. Powell, that the
dwellings there have been undisturbed
for many centuries.
The discovery Of the cliff dwelling
IN the picture came as complete
surprise to Mr.. Powell. He has de-
cided, however. to make IN early in
vestigation of the place, and believes
that a skilled Alpine climber may be
able to pick his way up the almost
destroyed Lodges which the ancient in
habitants were wont to climb.
