The American

YALKYRIE FIRST TO GET AWAY.
But the Yankee Makes a Spurt and Skims
Ahead Around the Turn, Continually
Gaining on the British Boat to
the End of the Race.
New YoitK, Sept. 0. Tho flrst race of a
crlos of three best in five botwecn tho
BrltlRli yncht Vnlkyrlo III und tho Ynnkoo
yacht Defender for tho America's cup, tho
i kcn of tho championship of tho world,
was sailed Saturday afternoon outsldo of
Sundy Hook, and resulted in a victory for
tho Dcfendor that was, In somo respects,
tho most notablo known in tho history of
English attempts to build a bottor yacht
thnn tho Americans could do.
Tho figures show that tho Vnlkyrlo
trosscd tho lino four seconds In advance of
Iho Defender; that tho Defender rounded
tho (lag marking half tho journoy,in wind
ward work, three minutes and twenty
thrco seconds in advance of tho Valkyrie,
and that the Defender crossed tho finish
lino eight minutes and sixteen seconds in
front of tho Vnlkyrlo. AUli tho time cor
rected, tho Defender won by eight minutes
Mitt forty-nino seconds, truly a victory
tvhlch must satisfy all America.
All of tho work on tho run out to tho
mark was windward. In this tho Defen
der showed but littlo superiority until
within tho last threo or four miles, when,
by n wonderful flight ot speed, sho ato
right by her swift rival, which was doing
flno work at tho time, and went ahead al
most as would a steamer round tho flag,
threo minutes and twonty-thrco seconds
In the lead. Tho return, Instead of boiut;
a run ns it was thought It would bo, de
veloped Into a broad reach on tho port tack,
nnd In this kind of work tho Defender
showed oven more superiority over her
rival than sho did in tho windward work,
beating her in the fifteen milo reach four
minutes and fifty-seven seconds.
Tho yachts seemed very closely matched
for tho first two hours of tho race, tho ad
vantage of either being always problem
atical and very slight, but from tho tlmo
tho Defender put on tho burst of speed,
which tho fiO.OOO who saw It will never for
got, tho rusult of tho race was very plain
ami it became simply a question of
minutes.
Both yachts wcro superbly handled, and
the fisher lads from tho coast of Maino
need yield not a jot tho palm to their En
glish cousins. If anything tho American
boat was the better handled. Beginning
right at tho start tho Vnlkyrlo was flrst
over tho lino to be sure, but sho was not In
tho windward berth in which Captain
Sycamore hud dreamed for mouths to land
her. Tho Defender had tho weather berth.
On tho run out tho boats kept together
very closely. After onohour and forty
minutes of tight sailing tho Valkyrie,
farther ahead but to leeward, essayed to
eross tho Defender's bow and put tho
American in tho leeward berth, hut Cran
llold failed and his failure was greeted by
an uproar from tho whole fleet. On round
ing tho flag and starting for homo tho De
fender's crew sot her balloon jib with a
most gratifying quickness and dexterity.
Tho Valkyrlo's crow did not begin to equnl
tills performance. On the reach In Half
kept up his staysail in addition to tho bal
loon jib from tho first. Cranfleld did not
got his on the Vnlkyrio until at least a
quarter of tho way homo. When tho Do-
fender crossed the tlnlsh lino ner crow woro
forwarded and had tho balloon jib in and
stowed beforo tho fleet realized It.
The Vnlkyrlo is a light weather boat.
There Is no doubt of this. Of tho work
that sho has done her best performances
havo been in light airs. She was built for
light winds, and Dunravon hold out
strongly for race dates early in Scptombor,
hoping for tho light winds which his yacht
was designed to meet. Surely thoro Is but
little probability that his yacht will moot
lighter winds than sho met Saturday.
Two-thirds of tho raco was sailed in a six
or seven knot broezo and at times tho wind
did not blow more than flvo knots an hour.
In tho last half of tho reach homo tho
wind freshened to a nlno or ton knot speed,
and tho result was that tho Defender per
ceptibly Increased hor load.
Not ouo yachtsman in ten can be found
who will not prophesy threo straight vlo
torlos for tho Defender. This is duo in a
monsuro to reaction, for nobody looked for
such an easy victory in Vnlkyrlo weather.
Tho official tlmo table is as follows:

An Interesting Game of Foot Hall nt the
Trotting 1'urk.
About two hundred peoplo went to tho
Trotting park Saturday afternoon to witness
tho football game between tho Shenandoah
and Columbia teams, both composed of local
players. Tho teams lined up at 4:45. They
were very evenly matched and, although tho
ball was kept in Columbia's territory most of
tho time, neither side was ahlo to send it
across tho line.
The Columbias possessed tho advantago of
knowing their opponent1)' signals and blocked
them in every move.
Tio Shenandoah wero handicapped by tho
absenco of four of their regular team and, to
some extent, presented a patched up appcar-
anco. Notwithstanding this they put up a
good contest. Tho game was called after 10
minutes of play in the second half, owing to
tho retirement of Ormsby, who had lccn
injured. The features of tho gamo wcro the
tackling of Ormsby and tho heady running of
Price and Mcllale. Tho teams played as

UNI OF fl WATER PIPE
No Supply From the Borough Plant For
Several Hours.
PRESSURE, OK A WEAK. POINT I
The East Mahanoy Junction Land and Im
provement Company to Establish a
Pipe Line To Benefit Ashland,
GlrardVrUlo and. Other Places.
i sorious- mishap occurred to one of the
mains of tho public water works Saturday
afternoon and tho supply of water was cut
off. for several hours. Tho accident hap.
pencil at about 2:30 and the plant was out of
service' until 1 o'clock yesterday morning.
It was duo to tho lead of a joint at tho cor
ner of Coal and Emerick streets being forced
out by pressure of the water and it is the
samo joint that gavo out a few weeks ago
when tho Cotincilmen were experimenting
with the pumps at Brandonvillc.
Tho point is tho most important and yet
the weakest of tho whole pipe line system.
Tho main supplies all the pipes in the town
and at tho corner stated it makes a turn west
on to Coal street. It is just at the turn that
tho troublcsomo joint is located. Tho full
pressure of tho water strikes tho bend and it
is quite likely that tho construction at this
point will havo to lie remodelled. A few
feet west of tho bend is a T that sonds a
branch supply south on Emerick street. It
has been suggosted that by placing the T at
tho bend tho trouble can be averted.
When tho break occurred Superintendent
Bctteridgo was at tho Brandonville station
and several members of the water committee
wero out of town and nothing was. done but
tho shutting ofl' of the water uutil about
eight o'clock at night. Meanwhile there was
much complaint in tho town ovoirtho cutting
oil' of tho water. Many people did not know
what had happened and they complained
bitterly because they had not received
notice. Manager Hutchison, of the Fergu
son House, was among tho most bitter com
plainants and claimed that four guests left
his hotel during tho night because they
could get no water aud went to Mahanoy
City. His complaint was about tho delay in
making the repairs.
At about eight o'clock in tlio evening
Coiiiicilmeu Gable, Straughn, Kane, Bcese
and McGuire, Superintendent Bctteridgo and
o.x-Councilmen Gallagher and Lamb went to
tho place -in overalls aud commenced work.
Two workmen had beeu laboring, but tho
force was too small to do any good and
sevoral additioual laborers wero sent for. All
hands, including tho borough fathers, worked
Uko beavers until one o'clock yesterday
morning jacking up and calking tho pipes
and removing a valve near tiie oil tanks
which was damaged by workmen injudici
ously applying power whilo turning on" the
water. Tho stem of tho valve was badly
twistcd.
After the repairs wero completed the Coun-
cilmcu agreed that it would bo advisable to
put iron clamps to strengthen the joint and
this morning workmen started to make tho
improvement.
Another disadvantage at tho point of
trouble is that three sower pipes pass under
tho main, ' thereby weakening it, and the
jarring caused by tho railway trains passing
close by.
Apropos the consideration of water works
thero is a well defined aud, apparently, well
authenticated report that tho East Mahanoy
Junction Land aud Improvement Company is
making arrangements to relievo tho peoplo
of Girardvillc, Ashland and other places down
tho valley who aro suffering through alack
of or impuro supply of water. Tho company
now figuring on tho cost of putting pumps is
at tho Lakeside dams and pumping water to
tlio towns mentioned. It will only be nec
essary to put tho water half way through
tho Mahanoy tunnel and from that point
gravity will carry tho supply to all tlio do-
sired places.
