Bunraven Wanted Another Course.—Bos- tom Globe Off-rs 835,000 Cup for Another Race. New York, N. Y., September 13.— Defender broke oat bi. gpinaker " jmymediately after crossing the line and | _ went on with every inch of canvas stretch- ed. Valkyrie went with mainasil and jib! only and at once hoisted a protest flag | and headed: back for tha judges’ boat. The trouble seemed to be that pilot bost | No. 19 was directly in the way. Valkyrie subsequently withdrew anid a tag took ber in tow. The Depfender - kept on har coarse and was evidently going to make the trip alove. At 11:36 Valkyrie was in tow of the ten- der and Defender was keeping on her | course alone, jndges’ boat following. The Defender ficished at 4 04:36. Upon Valkyrie's arrival at Bay Ridge, Glennie explained why Valkyrie did not race to-day. He said: ‘‘Liord Dunraven handed a letter written yesterday to the secretary of the America’s cup committee ‘with the request that it be not opened until after a decision in Defender’s pro- test. The substance of the letter was that Lord Duopraven did not think a fair oourse could be obtained off New York and ssked tbe committee to provide a oourse that sould be kept clear of boats. He suggested Marblehead, or aome other place distant from a city like New York. "He received no reply from the committee and did pot intend to race to-day.” ~ “He went down the bay like a true ‘sportsman to give the other boat a obanos - to start and make 1t a race if he chose to. Had Danraven received a reply to hie communication he would have raced to- day. ” Glennie was ssked if Dunraven had found the coarse clear at the start. He replied: #Certainly, but how about sll the rest of the race and the finish?” Glennie cou- tinued: “We did not want to sallow spother walkover; it is not fair for one boat or the other.” Glennie was asked: ‘‘“What are ‘Lord Dunraveu’s plans?’ He replied: “] haven't the faintest idea.” Valkyrie anchored «ff Bay Ridge at 2 Jelock.

The eagle measured from | | tip to tip seven feet, and its talons were | | fully two inches long and sharp as nee- dles. i Raut says it has ‘been his experience | to be attacked by a mad bull, but of the | | two he would rather defend himself | from the horned beast than the ugly eagle. ~— Utica Hemi. ! i Preacher In a Chain ne.

As soon as one of these yoathful criminals falls into the hands of the police he is abandoned, and care is taken to see that he is nok - in a position to impart any compromis- ing information. The children are pow | erless to escape from their captors. | Once they have stolen an artiele, they cannot dispose of it except through their teachers. They have no place to go. They are encouraged in crime by a se- ries of rewards for good “‘hanls,’’ and if they are found to possess no aptitude for thieving they are abandoned. pupils who become too well know the polioe are shipped to Chipago. In all cases these children are among the most dangerous of the criminals now infesting the metropolis. They ply their vocation everywhere. Their employers . are very successful in bafiling police in- vestigation, and change their haunts from time to time for that purpose. The enormous profits from this line of work are a principal source of its growth; hence the existence of an elaborate gys-. tem protected by confederates in touch even with the police. The campaign now begun ngainst the evil seems des- | tined to result in very sensational dis- . closures, and the ‘black swana’' (whieh is the professional metaphor applied $0 children in training for crime) are hid» ing in their “pools,” to use another ' technical eypression.
