Special to livening Ileralil.
New York, Oat. 20. Tim weather opened
cloudy this morning, but tlio wind wis blow
ing at the rate of nearly twenty miles, which
made an cxcellont outlook Tor a good rate
between tlio Columbia and Shamrock for the
America's cup. Tlio crows of both vowels
were In excellent spirits and full of con
fidence. Capt. llarr was caught napping at the start
and tho Shamrock orjtsed tho lino first, at
11:01.30. The Columbia followed at 11:01 4R.
The slight lead of tho Shamrock was soon
overcome and tho Columbia, showing excel
lent speed, gained a lead. Soon after sho
commenced to loso rapidly on account of
having somo trouble with lior spinnaker.
Sho lost two minutes by this, but kept trail
ing behind the Shamrock, which had a lend
of three hundred yards at U:fi0 and was in
creasing it.
Hy rapid work on board tho Columbia
tho troublo with tho splnuakcr was
adjusted and the yacht soon struck n
gait that caused tlio Shamrock's admirers
some anxiety. Steadily tho Columbia drew
up, and thou forged ahead, securing a lead at
12:10 of 200 yards, an actual gain of at least
500 yards from the time of lior trouble, less
than forty minutes
The rare at this stage clearly demonstrated
the superiority of the Columbia and the bet
ting fraternity was laylug heavy odds that
the yacht would win tho race. It was pract
ically a one sided race aftor tho Columbia re
covered from her troubles.
Tho Columbia was the first to turn the
stakeboat, making it at 12:18 aud tho Sham
rock followed at 12:10.
The laco home was all tho Columbia's.
She pulled away from tho Shamrock steadily,
was half a mile lu the lead with 8 miles to
go, a mile and a half ahead when thrco
miles from tho finish, and finally crossed tho
finish lino 0 minutes in tho lead and retains
tho cup.

Cape Town correapomlent telegraphs.
It is rumored that news has reached
De Aax Junction that the Boers at
tacked Mafeklng In force, but were
repulsed. The defenders, seeing the
enemy retreating, pursued them foi
some distance. Then a feint was made
and they commenced to retire on the
town, allowing themselves to be driven
in by ' the Uoers, wno, eager to re
trieve their position, again advanced
to the attack and were drawn ovet
Lyddite mines laid for the defense of
the town, it Is reported that 1.500
Uoers were killed by the explosions.
It Is reported from Delagoa. bay Hint
the Swazi King Uunu Is collecting his
forces with the object, presumably, oi
attacking the Uoers. It Is stated that
the Portuguese forces at Delagoa bav
Vtill be raised to war strength.
It Is announced from Pretoria that
en eccentric person known as Haron
Deglusberg has been court martialed
and shot as a spy. Plans of the local
forts were found In his possession.
Tho Pietermaritzljurg correspondent
of The Daily Mall, in a dispatch dated
Thursday, says: ,
The brunt of the fighting at Desters
Station yesterdaj was sustained by the
volunteer patrols. The fighting was
brisk. The Uoers numbered 2.000. The
volunteers at one moment were in
great peril, being nearly cut off, but the
officers handled their men splendidly,
and the Maxims effectively stopped the
Uoor rushes. The Hoer shooting was
vt retched. The volunteers lost their
kit, and altogether the experience was
a pretty trying one. Our men were In
the saddle three days and two nights
with hardly n rest. Uasuto natives were
fighting with the Boers. It is roported
that 1C Uoers were killed.
The Ladysmlth correspondent of The
Dally Telograph, under date of Oct. 1.
says:
The Uoers captured a train which
left ladysmlth at 12:30, near Eland
slangto. It contained several olllcer'
and a few men, besides civilians, all
going to Giencoe or Dundee. For
tunately the 10:30 up train, which
contained one of your correspondents,
got through. The enemy cut the
v.ires, severing communication with
Glencoe. The news was first received
from the station1 master at Elanil
slaagto, who wired: "I see Boers near
the line. What shall L do?" Lady
smlth answered: "Let the train run
ahead full speed." It did so, making
for the north of Elandslangto. The
official said: "The Uoers are mus
tering nnd firing to stop the train.
They have stopped It. What shall I
do, must I go?" "Yes, go," was the
reply. Thereupon the messages ce.ised,
aud slnco the line has been blocked.
Probably the station master escaped.
The Cajie Town correspondent of The
Daily Mall, telegraphing at 10 o'clock
last night, says- Vryburg surrendered
Sunday. Tonight's dispatches from
Kuruman, 90 miles vest by south of
Vryburg, Btnte that the police having
withdrawn from Vryburg the town
surrendered to the Uoersf the Inhabi
tants neeing in au Directions, mostiy
toward Kuruman. When the police
withdrew the Cape Uoers notified tho
fact to tho enemy, thus Inviting them
to take possession. There was a fear
ful panic. The British aro wildly In
dignant at this scuttling.
The Boers suffered a reverse on Sun
day at Sprnltfbnten, ten miles south of
KImberley. An armored train went
out to bring a train reported to have
been captured by the Uoers near the
Sprultfonten siding. A party of Boors
who wore encamped near by lowered
the railway signal and displayed a
white flag, apparently with the Idea
of Inducing the train to proceed. The
driver suspected that the Uoers were
In possession, and stopped the train,
whereupon the Uoers Issued in large
force and opened fire, but without
any effect. The soldiers replied from
the train and about half a dozen Uoers
were killed.
Seven hundred Boers surprised a
party of 13 Cape Colony police who
were guarding the railway at Rlvorton
Road, 18 miles north of KImberley, on
Sunday morning. The police rotlred
A terrific explosion was hoard later,
and It is believed that the Boers blew
up the station.
A relief party of 25 police sent from
KImberley met the Boers near River
ton. The enemy displayed a white
flag to Induce the troops to fall Into
their trap, but the police were ordered
to retire. Then the Uoers opened a
heavy fire on them, discharging about
400 rounds. A bullet struck the horse
of Surgeon Major Sullivan, who. with
a trooper whose horse had stumbled
and dismounted htm. was captured.
The war office last evening Issued
the following bulletin: No news of
Importance has been received from
Natal today. The cavalry attached
to our forces at Ladysmlth and Dundee
are engaged In observing the enemy's
movements. Steps have been takeu
to secure Pletermarltzburg and Dur
ban against the raids on the western
frontier. There Is no recent reliable
Intelligence from KImberley or Mafe-
ltlnr. both places being cut off from
rail-' ay and telegraphic communtca
tlo. It Is believed, however, that a
skirmish took place on Sunday six
ni''"o south of KImberley, and that
the Uoers were beaten off, with some
Ions, by an armored train. There was
some lighting at Mafeklng on Frl
day or Saturday, ending with a repulse
of the attacking force. Railway com
munication with the Orange Free
