l'AU the woist consequent e
of j,illow Journalism, fioni a
newspaper standpoint, Is the
sail Ilk lal edtect It has had
on newspaper inlluotuo A fundamental
put pose In the piinliug ot uowspapeis
Is to efieit a necissaiy sin velllanco
over tho i undue t ot men In olllce. The
fatheis made Hie pi ess toievei fieo In
oider that tlieio might bo iilwns In
rescive a weapon with which to com
bat the enuoailnnents of tiunny ot
the machinations of olllclal fi.uul. In
our fin in of elvilUat lou no other means
of c ommuuicatitig infoimatloii and ar
gument, in swiftness and width of dis
semination, Is coiup.u utile with tho
newspaper pi ess.
Hut how giosslv tills liisuuiuiMitullly

bv the tact that olllclals suspected of
evil doing otten tlulvc upon newspapei
ciltklsm and coutt wither than diead
newspaper attack. It has been demon
stiatcd lepeatodly In many oi our
Iingci cities that the combined opposi
tion of the dally pi ess Is as poweiless
to keep out ot ollUo a man possessing
tho hinpathlos ot the eouunoii people
as It is to put in olllce one lacking their
confidence. The ellow Join mils have
si learned und slnleked and black
guaided and cartooned so much In their
innd effoits to stimtilato by fake means
tho sale of papets that nil p.ipcis,
many unjustl, have fallen in the pub
lic's estimutlou.
I.lko tho boy who tilnl "wolf" with
out win i ant, yellow Journalism has
dulled tho sensitiveness of tho public;
ear to newspaper criticism and siuil
fleed by to much the leal usefulness
of the newspaper piess. In somo com
munities, happily, this detcrluuition
has been escaped. Wo can c all to mind
a few papets fully ns Hi in In the confi

they aro few and picdous. Ceneuilly

In ttie smoko ot tho gun fled away

the lead nnd a length to windward.
Hotli oniric d the same sails, main,

The sight nindo the pulfics of the spec

Then for ten miles down the Long
Island slioro In Plain view of tho peo
ple theie the two big slngtestlckers
smashed Into the bend seas, sending
sptnv smoking tn the eioss trees.
Strain ns Shainiock would she could
not hold tier white ilval even. Slowly
bat surely Columbia forged ahead,
pointing higher and footing raster.
Shamrock tacked and tacked again but
Columbia went about with her each
time and appeared to bo tho moie
nimble. Timed again and again by
the cvpcits she was quicker In stays
b ten .seconds. Tho beut down the
Long Island coast made a benutlful
marine spectacle. The p.ittol fleet un
der the dhoctlon of Captain "Walker of
the levenue cutter seivice. maintained
a pcifectly clear Held. Half a mile
of levenue cutter, and yachts at an
angle of four points ftom each side ot
the course fanned a tight angle, chang
ing direction as the xaclits tacked. In
the hollow of this angle as If In a fence
coiner theie was no moie interference
with tho yachts than It they had been
sailing In the middle of tho Atlantic
while behind tho fence on either side
were tlto solid floating moving Hues
ot i at celling hulls, rait to rail, their
.smoking stacks making a black wall
above them. On Into the bucking seas
tlie -.miits went, splitting gteat goy
scis tt oin their shark like bows. The
Ameilcau was undoubtedly the piet
tier boat Her sky (-craping club top
sail was not so high by eight feet as
that of tier rival, but she appeared
more statelv and graceful. She seemed
n thing of life, lifting to tho eas with
less effort or piercing them with less
fiis while the heavier breasted Sham
rock pointed and shlveicd them with
the foico of her Impact. The slender
hulls of the lacing machines looked
too frail to cany the canvas which
towered aliove them. Over 190 feet
abovo the water line, a height equal to
n modem ten story building, the slen
der topmast .ud of tho Shamrock
lifted her p. tumid of canvas, but tier
S.I3 squuie feet moio of canvas than
the Columbia, can led could not make
her ovettake the white beauty.
Shnmrock Showed
rront.
It was dliectly off Long Beach Hotel,
with its ttowded pl.isv.as, that ttie
Shiinuoek thowed in fiont for the
lirst and only Units leading tlio race.
As tho wind hauled foie, tho south-
xvaid anil 'had tiled down somewhat,
Charlie Ban- headed the Columbia off
shore in tlio hope of meeting It. In
stead, he poked his noe Into a dead
calm and for some minutes tho Colum
bia lay with her Mils flapping, -while
th" Shamrock, catching slant of
wind neat or shore, drew lapldly
ahead. But tho -victory was short
lived. The cant of tho -wind to the
soutliwnid held nnd freshened to about
fixe knots, making it fioni this point
a close hauled teach to the mark.
Tim Columbia rapidly overtook her ad
veis.iry. and Captain Sycamore, In
desperate mood, concluded to pi ess on
more canvas- by trying n larger Jib
topsail While the sailors wero out on
tho bow spilt, taking in tho old and
bonding the linger sails', the Columbia
went by the Shamrock us if Mia hud
been mooted to the dock, making two
feet to her one. Krom tho time to that
outer maik, the Columbia gained
steadily.
As she nppioachod tho tinning point,
tlio excursion lleet going at lull speed
( tided out and mussed bejond tho
murk to witness the tutu. As sho came
alongside, leaving the mark on the
stat board hand, Ban put Ills helm
hard (low n and luffed urotind It. Then
she filled away. Her gieat balloon Jib
luoke out like a puff of smoke, her
boom was eased off and she was away
for homo on a hioad teach. Th" bands
clashed, tin- whistles blew nnd the
dowd uboaid the escuislon fleet
ihoeied. The fleet courteously waited
until Shumroik tounded, seven minutes
and llftecn seconds Inter, und gave her
a coulial inception. I"iom tli.it time on
it was a piocesslon, not a race.
The Hngllshman tried iv luilf-elo.en
head sails. In the hopp of Improving
his position, but the American loiged
stcadllv ahead. Then the wind, which
had been seven knots at tho stake boat,
giadually died down and an hour be
foio the tlmo limit PNpltcd It was evi
dent that tho xnehts could not finish
In time.
When tho connnitteo boat finally
holhti'd her signals, declaring "no rnce,"
tlio big cxiuislnn fleet headed baik for

could carry them. Only tho steam yacht
