in a Thirty Mile Race.
SPLENDID CONTEST THROUGHOUT
The American Yacht Ic1 the Cnp
Challenger by Ten Mlnnteaand Four- !
teen Seoonda Superior Both In Ileat- ;
Inn Anil lit Suiting Before the Wind, j
New York. Oct. 17. The cup which
the old schooner America won to com-
mamtingly against all comers over the
course uround the Isle of Wight in
1851. and brought back across the seas,
will probably remain here another
year.. In a glorlouB breeze, over a
wind ward and leeward course of 30 )
roller;, the Columbia scored against
Shamrock yesterday In the first race of
the 1S99 series. She bounded across
the finish line fully a mile and a hnlf '
aheuul of the challenger, defeating her j
by i) minutes and 14 seconds actual
timet, or 10 minutes and 8 seconds cor
rected time. Columbia covered th! I
couHse In 4h.. 53m., 53a.; Shamrock. I
6h., 5m.. 10s.
Although the preponderence of ex- i
pert opinion never wavered in its loy-
alty to the wonderful speed and abll- j
lty of the white llycr, no nautical
sha.rp expected that the Shamrock
would be so overwhelmingly vanquish
ed (as she was in yesterday's royal
struggle The Yankee boat outgeneral
ed her at the start, beat her hopelessly
In windward work to the outer mark '
uud gained 22 seconds in the run home
before the wind. There was a good,
strong 10 to 12 knot breeze, and it held
throughout the race.
It Is undoubtedly a bitter blow, be
cause the English hopes of lifting the j
cup time never been higher since the
Thjlstle and Volunteer met in 1887.,
Like the Shamrock, she waa decisively !
defeated in the first hour's sailing. The
regatta committee, as a result of the
showing made by the Columbia yester
day, are convinced that the cup Is safe.
Hlow high or low, Columbia, It Is be-
lteived by her manager, Mr. Iselln, can
heat Shamrock. Sir Thomas, like the I
trjM sportsman that he is, confessed !
uflter the race that he had been fairly
beaten. He had no apologies to make.
(The race was a magnificent duel and
m ude up for the repeated disappolnt
m ents the sightseers have suffered. It
w as anything but a comfortable day
o! l the water. The prospect was not al
ii iring. Still, the mist wreaths were
carried along by a good ten knot
b reeie right in from the east, and the
oild shellbacks said there was more
wind where that came from. But the
excursionists who went down the bay
v, ere not very hopeful until they got
o utside, where the wind was fresher
n.ud whipped some form out of the
waves. Mrs. Iselin was not to be de
trred by the bad weather, and waa a
conspicuous figure on the Columbia,
wrapped up like an old salt in a yel
low oilskin.
The Shamrock footed valiantly, but
neither In speed nor in pointing could
:- compare with Columbia,
Nothing could have been prettier
than the way Columbia swept around
the outer mark, gracefully as a swan.
In a quarter of a mile from the home
run the Columbia crossed the path of
the Shamrock, still beatlngto wind
war'', and robbed her of the wind for
a uiinute as she went paal. It waa nine
minutes and forty-nine seconds later
whi n the Shamrock swung around the
mark and squared away for the finish.
There was a soul stirring scene as
the Columbia approached the finish.
The excursion boats had gathered
there in a semi-circle to give her wel
come, and as she swept across the
finish bedlam broke loose. The steam
whistles shrieked, the sirens wailed,
the C6rsair, the flagship of the New
York Yacht club, and several other
yachts flung their powder into smoke
and the multitudes on the decks of
the side wheelers cheered. The Cor
sair hauled down all her private sig
nals and set old glory at each mast
head and gaff and taffrall. The crew
of the Columbia gathered aft, hurrah
ed with bared heads, then as she low
ered her headsalls and took the tow
line from her tender the crowd waited
over ten minutes until Shamrock had
crossed and the fleet had given her
stentorian expression of good will.
Then they scampered after Columbia,
crowding about her and cheering her
again and again, while the bands play
ed "Hail Columbia," "Yankee Doodle"
and other patriotic airs. They es
corted her all the way to her an
chorage Inside the hook.
All those on board the Erin who saw
the race agreed that there were no
flJtes and that both yachts were sail
ed on their merits. Of all the tugs,
steamers and yachts whose whistles
saluted the victor none blew more
shrilly than that of the yacht owned
by the gallant gentleman who still
hopes to take away the cup.
Sir Thomas Llpton took his defeat
with the spirit of a true sportsman.
"It was a fair and square race," said
he to a press representative who saw
him on board tne Erin. "We were
beaten fairly. No two boats ever sailed
a better race, and they were equally
well bandied as far as I could see."

London, Oct. 17. Dispatches from
the Cape are very meager, but they
Include an important message from
the Glencoe camp, dated r.:.15 yesterday
ufternoon, announcing that the Boer
commandoes which Invaded Natal
through Lalngs Nek and after eecupy -Ing
Newcastle advanced toPannhauser
retired on lngagane Sunday evening,
their transport service being reported
defective. This will delay Indefinitely
the anticipated and hoped lor assault
on the strong Hritlsh position at Glen
coe. Another dispatch reports activity on
the part of the Free Slate commands,
in the neighborhood of Allwal North,
on the southern frontier. The Boers'
advance patrol, the dispatch says, go
to the frontier Bridge nightly to keep
watch, firing shots at intervals as sig
nals. It Is believed the enemy In
tends shortly to try to rush the rail
way station, with the help of artillery
posted on a ridge commanding the
town.
There are rumors that the Boer
have been repulsed at Mafekln auu
are attacking Vryburg.
A Cape Town paper has a dispatch
from the Orange river stating that the
telegraph wires have, been cut between
Vryburg and Klmherley, ami It Is be
lieved that the Hours are taking ad
vantage of the presence of a large
gathering of disloyal farmers at Vry
burg celebrating nachtmual to attack
the town, hoping that the farmers will
assist them against the British.

ant. The Dally Mall's correspondent
at Coleshurg has been Inquiring re
garding the matter, and on the whole
thinks the chances are against a ris
ing. He bases his opinion on the pros
pect of good crops after four lean
years, which he believes wJB predis
pose the farmers to peace. Neverthe
less, there Is serious disloyalty and
much antl-Brltlsh agitation in these
districts, while the Free State Boers
threaten an Immediate invasion of
Colesberg and Allwal North.
The Dally Mall's correspondent as
serts that Sir Alfred Milner Is worked
to death and that Cape Town is surg
ing with bitter resentment at what is
called the Schrelner cabinet's betrayal
of Mafekfhg by Its constant refusal to
send a volunteer force to its relief.
Many residents of Cape Town have
relatives at Vryburg, and they are fu
rious with Messrs. Merriam and Sauer.
respectively colonial treasurer and
commissioner of public works, and the
ministers are mobbed whenever they
appear in public. Mr. Hoffmeyr, the
Afrikander leader, has gone to the
country In order to escape the out
bursts of Indignation.
On Sunday night the streets were
filled with angry citizens, and It was
feared that rioting would occur. This,
combined with the pressure of the im
perial government, brought the
Schrelner government to a sense of
its peril as well as of its duty and
moved It to decide to call out the vol
unteers. The ministerial party also
worked its hardest to prevent the ova
tion to Conyngham Greene on his ar
rival from Pretoria, but failed.

New York, Oct. 16. Ten persons

Injured by the burning, early Saturday
morning, of the Bridgeport line steam

Point, Long island sound.
The dead ure: Charles Anderson.
Watchman on the boat; Patrick Cof
fey, mate; John Connors, member of
crew; Bernard Hendry, oiler; Samuel
Jayne, Bridgeport, Conn., baggage
master; Thomas Murphy, member of
crew: Nils Nilson. member of crew.
Mrs, Mary Laggor and 8-year-old
daughter Rose, unknown man, passen
ger. i here was a panic aboard the Nut
meg State when the cry ol lire aroused
passengers from their sleep, The ves
sel was burning fiercely amidships
Passengers tell stories of cowardice
on the part of the crew, but others
deny their statements. Seven of the
nine known victims of the disaster
weie members of the crew.
About a hundred persons were In
peril, but prompt aid from others ves
sels made the loss of life much smaller
then had been fi ared.
After passengers and crew had left
the burning vessel she was sent at full
speed toward the beach, where she
lies, a total wreck.
Samuel Jayne. baggage master, who
lost his life, is described as the hero of
the fire. He discovered the outbreak
and gave tho alarm. He ran about
awakening nil he could, and the flames
were raging fiercely when at last be
tried to escape. Ho was then on the
upper deck, ami In Jumping :5tuck his
forehead against the guard rail. Stun
ned, he fell Into the water, and when
the yacht Kismet went to bis assist
ance he was almost flead. He died soon
after aboard the yacht. Had he not so
Courageously made his way through the
smoke to alarm tho passengers the
loss of life would have been much
greater.
The work of taking passengers off
the doomed vessel was done none too
soon. She carried a large cargo, in
cluding cases of cartridges, As the
lire made its way down into the hold
there waa a series of explosions, which
increased the fierceness of the flames
and destroyed the last chance of sav
ing anything from the wreck.
The charge was made by several Bur
vivors that some of the crew acted in
a cowardly maimer, pushing tbe wo
men to one side and getting Into the
lifeboats, regardless of the safety of
others. Other passengers, however,
assert that the crew ununited them
selves well. All reports agree that
Captain Brooks, who is a seaman of
long experience, was one of the last
to leave the burning vessel.
All that remains of the Nutmeg
State are the twisted and blackened
arms of steel and Iron surounded by
the huge copper bottom, which lieu
in the surf. Somewhere In the debris
are believed Io be the five bodies, but
It will be some days before these can
reached. These ure supposed to be
rn the forward part of the hulk, where
the men of the crew were imprisoned
by the fire.
The bodies of Mrs. Mary Logger, 3
years old, and her 1-year -old daugh
ter Rose were washed ashore Saturday,
and the body of an unknown man was
picked up by a yacht and taken to
Stamford, Conn.
