The larger classes were sent over a

smaller divisions sailed shorter courses,
and, as the wind held, all finished in
fairly fast time.
Six of the forty-footers of the New

the most dangerous foreign contender
IN sprints. The Englishman could do

it would seem that any Of the four

several meters and beat him to finish.
Outclass Foreign Sprinters
During last summer a number of the
nations entered in the big meet held
national championships with view
of selecting material for the Olympic
games. A survey Of the performances
of the athletes who will oppose the
Americans to-day further bears out the
contention that, barring accidents. no
foreign nation has ghost of show
with our sprinters. Here are the
figures:

1t will be noticed that Hills % 3-5

being 218. Thus Paddock ran two yards
less than the Englishman. but his time

OF Bay Regatta
Defeats Cantigny i'll 7.3
Mile Race by IL Seconds;
Ethel Captures Handicap

Due to the fact that a nasty rain
squall swept over Gravesend Bay just
prior to the setting of the course sig
nails, the smallest fleet OF the year
raced in the annual regatta of the
Gravesend Bay Yacht Club yesterday.
Only nine yachts came to the starting
line, and they were sent away by the
regatta committee during the heaviest
part Of the squall over the usual lower
bay inside course.
Fortunately, the rain did not last
long. Unfortunately, it killed most Of
the breeze, and it cannot be said that
the yachts had very spirited regatta.
The most interesting fight was in Che
new Victory class. Again, the winner
was Nieuport, the property of young
Leyman Brown. Neuport defeated DR..
c. L. Atkinson's Cantigny by II sec
onds over 7.3 mile course made up Of
two reaches and stiff beat home
Although O. Hansen's Ethel was the
first yacht to finish in the second di-
vision of the handicap class, the win
ner, on corrected time, was r. Carey's
Mavourneen. The smaller boat gained
her advantage in the first round by
standing out in the channel and obtain
ing the advantage Of strong ebb tide.
Although she was passed on the second
round, she more than saved her time
on the larger craft.
The largest feet of the day raced in
the third division of the handicap class.
On both actual and corrected time the
winner was Commodore Rottammer's s
Bug H. The wind was light and from
the south throughout. Never was it a
really good sailing breeze. AS usual
the start and finish was off the Allan
tic Yacht Club at Sea Gate. The course
took the craft to Bensonhurst, Fort
Hamilton and home. 1t was sailed
twice by all the yachts but the small
handicap boats.

Week Of Weather Turnout Arizona

PHOENIX, July 1. = Summer showers, ranging from light to heavy. have ser in over the ranges and much better conditions prevail, according to latest reports to the weather bu- resu. In the northeastern section where pastures had dried and were without nutrimeut heavy showers have fallen, rcplenishing the water supply and refreshing vegetation to a marked degree; stock are already showing great improvement. More than. an inch rainfall occurred at Pinedale and that part of Navajo county is showing marked improve ment in feed, water and condition of stock. While showers have been light and more rain needed near the Mexi- can border telegraphic information from the Douglas district is to the effect that the condition of stock is the best in years. Although the spring was dry on the Fort Apache Indian reservation the ground was so thoroughly saturated with moisture that feed has continued good and beth stock and range look well.
 Crop Figures in Arizona
 Affected by the warm humid weather of the past week cotton has made the most rapid development of the season. Not only has it's growth been rapid, but natural as weather conditions did not invite over irriga- ton as did the week previous. Plants are fruitiug freely. Cantaloupe vines ste bearing more fruit than usual this season, there being a full crop of crown, second and third fruit. Last season crown blossoms did not fruit Shipments from the Salt River valley begin today. Owing to the late spring, crops over the state are not as far advanced as usual, but as there Is an abundance of moisture in the soil vegetation will continue to do we'll until the arrival of summer rains. As indicated earlier in the season the peach crop will be small, but apples were injured only slightly by the late frosts

BAPTIST CHURCH CONVENTION IS
 IMPORTANT

The national convention of the Bap- tist denomination, which has just closed at Buffalo, N. Y, was one of the most important ever held by the northern Baptists. It lasted eight days The Reverend Morris, who at tended from Prescott, was gone two weeks.
 Everything called for by the Ari- zona Baptists was granted. No req son to refuse the state with the small est population when 1t was the first over the top in the S100,000,000 drive. One thing not exactly decided upon was the request for a large tubercu- losis sanatorium for Arizonaa. How ever, this matter was being warmly debated by the proper committees, and the Reverend Morris thinks it will be granted, as there has not been an unfavorable word against it.
 In the big drive they had reached S66,000,C00, and according to promise John D. Rockefeller wrote his check for $l, ,500,000 to the church, as he had promised he would do when they passed the $5,0O0,000 mark. He also promises to repeat the contribution when they reach $87000,000.
 One of the most striking features of the conference was that 90 young women and men missionaries are headed for the Orient Many other missionary workers are being gath cred together to go to Japan, Siam, India, Burmah, the Philippines and Chilean.
 The big thing for the foreign mis- sionaries is that special ship is to be chartered to carry over these va rious workers, and they will be dis tributed to the various fields as the ship sails along. The Reverend Nor ris is full of enthusiasm as to the fu- ture of his church and hopes to see great good come to Arizona from the increased activities of the church. He says Arizona was put and kept effect ually on the map back there by the various live workers from this state.
