When the Pluttsmouth foot b.ill loam
omes up hero again it won't bo to play foot
nil. but probably to got poluters from the
Omaha loam. Il did its best , hut the splcn-
Id unison of "our boys" was too much for
t. It is to.itu work that makes u successful
citn and in this point the Ptatlsmouth
lovcu was lamentably lackluir. The Omaha
jlovuii , on the other baud , played together
i ml every play was carried out with pro-
ucdltata.1 precision ,
The llrst half opened with a touchdown by
'urvls ' , the Omaha right hall-buck , thus
maltluz four points within n mliiuto from
Iho opening of the gumo. Gurdiior then
tried to kick a coal , hut was prevented by
ho strong wind which wan blowing across
the field. Then Whlpplo tnado another
ouchdown , nnd so It wont all through the
Irst half. Gin-oner by clever dodging gained
thirty-Ilvo yards and Purvis wont around
the cud for still another touchdown , which
was completed by Clarke kicking goal.
Plittlsmouth now had the bull , but noon
est It without making any gala. Clarke
est ten yards on a fumble. Gardner got the
Kill and trained twenty yards but lost the
ball again by another fumble. Th on Omaha
) Iaycd tbo criss-cross and was successful ,
Durdlck going around the end for a touch
down. This ended the hrst halt with ttio
score 20 to 0 lu Omaha's favor.
Gardner Immediately tnailo a touchdown ,
which was followed by another made by
Sholdon. Then Gardner , by fine tackling ,
j.iincd twenty yards. Sheldon was on his
way to make another touchdown when he
was taciclcd by Ballanco of Plattsmouth ,
who pulled him down with great force.
Sheldon , in fallluc , landed on B.illauco with
terrific force and knocked him senseless.
\t this point Plattsmouth , disheartened by
tbo loss of ono of the most valuable mun and
clearly seeing ' that It was useless to pluy
against'Omaha , ttocided to throw up the
spongo. Thus the gauio oudcd in the llrst
part of the second half with the score S3 to 0
for the Omaha High school foot ball team.

It Js qnlto prolmblo the man meant the

intended to say that n trout could leap over
Iho falls , or having leaned over would rctiiiu
sufficient vitality to inaka headway against
the rush of water at the luluk of the falls.
Yellowstone- river carries quite n body of
water ami tluj sheer descent of the ( stream
nt the falls is 150 foot , not Including tlio
rapids below It , Trout and othisr members
of the salmon family are credited with pro
digious leaps , hut it Is not on record that
any has underluuen , much loss achieved , the
passage of the great falls of the Yellow

NRwYoitK , Oct. 14. As the result of yes
terday's magnificent lace the America's cup
will stay In this country for another year nt
least. With plenty of wind , with a splendid
sea , and In almost Ideal w.Uet for yachting ,
the stately cup defender passed the Hue ,
and , amid the blowing of whistles and the
cheering of men , while women waved their
handkerchiefs , the tl.iy ship May hoisted the
colors of the Vigilant.
The Vigilant was the first on tlio ground
and soon the Valkyrie caino down In tow of
her tug. After some preliminary maneuver
ing the gnu from thu ling ship declared that
the third and last race had begun for the
cup. The wind at tbo start was n < | imlly , and
It was feared the yachts would have more
than they wanted of it. Fortunately , how
ever this proved a mistake of the prophet ,
for after a short limo It blew steadily once
more.
The racer * made short bnaril on the star-
boaiil tack , but changing soon took a long
run to port. Apparently their positions did
not change. The Valkyrie passed the Vigi
lant nud obtained a considerable lead. At
1:112 : the Valkyrie came about nndniadua
short board to the starboard , tbu Vigilant
following her elosi-ly , then again to port
both boats turned , while the friends of the
Vigilant declared she pointed n little closer
to thu wind than her rival. Tbo Valkyrie
turned the stake with Its red llugat'Jsitl
and the Vigilant followed : \t'Jlir : > .
Hutu Sturi n lloinoviirdvltn u Itimh.
As she went by tbu waiting steamers the
Valkyrie at 4ti : ! ! set her silk spinnaker ,
which glistened like a sheet of silver In the
wind. In two minutes tbo sheets were homo
and the great sale was pulling and tossing
like a living thing. The effect was immedi
ately apturent. The Valkyrie drew away
from her rival as though the latter was tied
down , but the : , liei3ts of the Vigilant went
home and she , too , leaped forward.
Then tbo Valkyrie dousuu her Jib and
forustuy sail and set a balloon stay sail in
place. Tun Vigilant hauled her balloon jib
slowly up to the top mast bead nnd sot It.
She seemed to fairly Jump in the water.
From that lime it was evident that the
Valkyrie would bo nussed. As the white
bo.xt Urexv up behind sue blanketed her rival
and thu silk spinnaker fell in graceful folds
for a time. It was not long , however , beloro
the Vigilant had made a cast to tbe south
sufllcient. to enable her to pass and the Val
kyrie's sails llllud once more. The estimated
three-quarter inilo gap between the boats
fell rapidly. At 'J : : | the end of the bowsprit
of the Vigilant was in line with the Val
kyrie's stern. At n-U ( ) it bad reached her
bowsprit bead , and at : tiK : ) 'a line of open
water appeared between tbe two. This time
whistles screamed and tbe pcoplciipplaudud.
Vulk.vrlx's .Misfortune.
Suddenly , at a # 4 , the men on tbe Valkyrie
were seen running to and fro , and then a
glance showed that bcr spinnaker had been
split in two llappilig ribbons.- Down it came
by tbo run and in a few seconds anew ono
was in place and being hauled up and
sheeted borne. The \vork of the crow was
soquickthat.it : ! : ! ! . " > half the new sail was
: u position nnd drawing to the full. Short
as the delay was. It is feared It lost the
Valkyrie the race , for tbo two boats were
very close.
Meantime the Vhf'lunt was driving ahead ,
overythliig pulling and the dhttuuce'botwueii '
hut-self and her rival gradually widening.
She was : i picture a ° * slip tore along under
mainsail , gaff topsail , spinnaker and balloon
lib , every tin-end drawing and the yacht
waving her tall masts slightly from side to
side. A Hash from the Hag ship May as the
Vigilant passed the Hue between herself and
the liRht ship was re-echoed and prolonged
by all thu whistles in tbo lleot. The cheer
ing filled the air. Even the wind , strong as
it was , could not blow tbo sound away.
It was u magnificent race , the finest seen
in years. But it la Impossible ) to say , with
this race , which is the bolter boat in such a
wind as that of today , Forty seconds on a
beat to windward of iif turn miles and return
is soclosothat the splltiingof the Valkyrie's
spinnaker might easily account for H.
ODIcl-il l-'igiiri-H.

Oct. 14. The Evening Post
says : The Valkyrlo will bo laid up on this
side of tbo Atlantic lor the winter. Discus
sion of the race was very warm today.
Yachtsman were very divided in opinions
about the true result of the great
race oti Its bearing on the old con i-
troversy betwceu keel and centerboard -
board , the unfortunate accident to the
Valkyrie's light sails and the Jamming of the
Vigllant's board having iimdn Impossible n
ehanco for comparison. Added to the factors
throwing doubt on the result was the fact :
mentioned on Monday by Mr. Kerr that the
Valkyrie's must was sprung on the beat out
and that this was the reason the ciittor was
uuablo to set her balloon topsail or her club
topsail running hume as the Vigilant did.
I/ml Dimruvon's expressed opinion that
the cutter would have won on her tlmo
allowance bad bis spinnaker hold was con
ceded by a few to be well fouudod , but i.1
was only held to bo true granting the fact
that tbo sloop was retarded bccauso she
had live fuel of hsrcouterboard trailing in
the water ttiat should have been .snugly up l
In the keel. It has lways been doomed a
special advantage to.the American type that
the board could byrulsed when it was > itt
needed to gh'o stability to the yacht , and It
Is regarded by the .advocates of the board
us only fair to give , this drawback its full
weight in estimating ( ho work of tha two
boats yesterday.

Tlio damage clone by last ulpht's storm was
greater thnn bas been seen in many years.
Kapocially was this the case along the
water front , where the tide rose to tbo
level of the wharves , overflowing Into
stores , the ccllura of commission
merchants and the places occupied by t.io
oyster packers and completely destroying
stocks to tbo amount of almost SIUOO.tXM ) .
As the dredging season opened Monday the
oyster boats bad been preparing for the
occasion and many of them were badly
damaged. The destruction of property was
largo.
During the lir-lglit of the storm , two elec
tric. lis > lit wires belonging to the lirnsb
IClct'trli ' : light works bccainocrossed and the
works catching tire were destroyed. Tb
city was then in darkness. To add to tbo
excitement which this unlooked-for accident
the wires sot lire to the Juil and
a panic among the prisoners who
were locked in their cells immediately
ensued. As quickly as possible the cells
were thrown open , but not before many of
the inmates bad been nearly suffocated by
the smoke. Alauy pluimod luxullong from

ricane variety passed over this city last
night , doing great damage. Telegraphic
communication to points outside of Wash
ington was rendered impossible for a long
tlmo on account of the violent wind and rain
and a few small buildings wore blown littwn.
It rained steadily all day and toward night
the wind began to blow bard. U increased

until it was next to Impossible for people to
face It. Lights wore blown out , signs were
blown down , and in aomo instancus houses
unroofed.
About 2 o'clock the rain ceased , but the
wind continued to blow with gathering
force , and it was hot and sultry. Telegraph
wires were wraukcii in every direction until
it seemed as if tbo country at largo would
have to ho without Information regarding
the doings of tliu extraordinary sussiou of

After persistent effort tboestern Union
got a wire by way of Memphis , over which
the Associated press was enabled to send a
