COLUMBIA AN EASY WINNER
Perfect Weather and Largo Crowd Borne of
the Propitious Features.
NOT A GENUINE TEST OF SUPERIORITY
Defender In Unillr Handled and Fa
vorable OitportnnHlen Are Overlooked -
looked hy It * Crevr Good
Time Made.
NBWPOnT. n. I. , tAujr. 9. The run of
the JNow York Yacht club from Gardiner's
bay to tbo port today , a distance of flfty-
thrce miles , was lull of Interesting brushes.
It is no disparagement to Columbia to say
that its defeat of Defender by over twenty-
two minutes was duo moro to bad , judgment
and had luck of the Jailer , which left it
in a soft spot , than actual superiority.
The dar itself was perfect , for the sky
was cloudless and the air was full ot life
and vlcor. A huge fleet of steam yachts
watched the Balling craft start and accom
panied them over the most of the coin so
and all Newport saw the finish at Urenton's
Reef lightship , the cup defender of 1893 ,
Vigilant , leading the fleet over the line after
ft "warm contest with the schooner Colonla of
fifteen miles or moro.
lAt the finish there was fifty-five seconds
between the 'boats , but as Viellant started
six minutes ahead the Colonla beat her
easily on the run , althouch , of course , the
boata sailed in different classes.
During the soft spoil of two hours the
Columbia seemed to ( bo csnecially favored ,
for it carried a broczo right through and
gained rapidly on Defender. The latter , too ,
made a mistake In getting too near the
Fisher Island ehore , so that when the wind
did como around Columbia caught it half an
hour ahead. It twao at this time , as the
boats passed the entrance to Fisher Island
sound , that Columbia made the creat gain
that gave it such a lead.
The race was a grand ono from 2:45 : o'clock
on. At that tlmo Defender took in Its spin
naker , Columbia eoon following suit. Away
ahead moro than flvo miles In the lead wcro
Vigilant nnd Colonla. The latter yacht
jibed to starboard off Narrosansett and
dropped astern Just as ithey both passed the
old cup defender , Volunteer.
Smartly * he crew of Vigilant took In the
spinnaker before reaching the lightship.
Then they Jibed it and likean arrow It
shot around Columbia's 'bow. It crossed the
finish line just flfty-fivo seconds ahead ot
the schooner and finished first of the fleet.
Columbia swept across the finish line at
4:24:30 , taking ( n its spinnaker a few seconds
ends .before reaching U. It was Just twenty- ,
ono .minutes and three seconds ahead of De
fender.
According to the official figures Columbia
wins -twenty-two minutes , twenty-five
seconds.

bcdy. T&llllander , the Frenchman , was also
left in the same heat.
The three men In the flnal made a loafing
race of it , no one desiring to cut out the
pace. Peabody was In front -with Bummers-
prill In second place and Caldow trailing.
They kevb this position , until the bock
stretch of the lost round , when Caldow
movsd up and the ( three , men came Into- the
straton practically abreast. Then it was
that SummerBgill let -himself loose. Ho got

DEADWOOD , S. D. , Aug. 9. ( Special. )
For the last three daya the Northern Hills
have been overrun with the teachers , county
superintendents and others from the east
ern part of the eta to < who came on the ex
cursion to Hot Springs. To a largo per cenl
of the visitors it was the first trip west ol
the 'Missouri river and very few of the
party had ever been In a mining country.
On Saturday afternoon ninety-throe ot the
excursionists went down to Spoarflsh on the
Burlington , returning the following morn
ing. On the way down into Spearflsh canyon
the heavily loaded tmlawas flagged by a
14-year-old boy named Manley Beaver , who
resides At Terry , The train stopped and II
was learned that the excursionists had had
a very narrow escape.
A rancher in the valley had attempted to
cross a railroad bridge on horosback and
his horse had fallen through the ties and
could not bo released with the help avail
able. The boy had seen the accident and
his first thought was the flagging of the approaching
preaching passenger train.
Mnile Clinch of the Hoy.
When the facts wcro learned by the excur
sionists the boy 'became the hero ot the day.
Ho was mode to stand out a short distance
from the train and kodakswero snapped
from all quarters. When one of the ladles
asked him to rcmovo his hat In order to
get a better view of his face , ho remarked ;
"Can't , pard ; my hair nln't combed. "
President Brown of the State Teachers'
association made. a. fitting speech for the oc
casion , much to the em'barrassment ' of the
boy. .Ho was presented with a crisp flO
bill , which at first he refused to accept.
On the train was Dr. Daniels ot Madi
son , this state. Ho was taken with the
looks of the lad and , calling him aside ,
offered him a course of education in the
Madison Normal free of all cost. The lad
wanted to think it over , and 'When the train
stopped at a station on the way homo ho
boarded It and told the doctor that ho would
accept his .proposal. . Had the train not been
flagged there would undoubtedly have been
a terrible railroad accident. The lad will
start for Madison as Boon as ho can get
ready.
At Spearflsh the excursionists tract by
citizens In carriages and all wcro given a
rldo over the city. Many of the teachers
are eo well pleased with the Hills that they
have avowed their intention of coming out
here to reside permanently.

PIERRE , S. D. . Aug. 0. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The opinion of Attorney General
Pyle , submitted to the State Board of As
sessment and Equalization this morning ,
upholds the right"of the board to Increase
the assessment values aa returned , to them
by county auditors and IK in substance that
under the constitution and the statutes it
is the duty of the board as assessors of
corporate property to list the same at as
nearly Its cash value as can 'bo ' ascertained
and then it becomes the duty of the board
to equalize other property of the state at a
proportionate value with the assessment
placed' ' by thorn on corporate property. Thla
means U general raise on ail property of the
state , private and corporate , and while the
basis on which the raise will .bo . ma.de has
not yet 'been secured , it wlll probably bo
about one-third greater than last year , which
will mean a general increase of about $40-
000,000 over last year.

Among the eurols of one of the hotels

ot the principal American dttcs for the two
fold fiurposo of organizing among hU coun
trymen an American 'branch ot the society
nnd "becoming " familiar with tbo customs ot
the citizens of the United States.
The moro progressive people of Denmark ,
Mr. Skram says , have observed that Danes
who have emigrated to America havot pros
pered. Those who remained at homo wish
to learn the eecret of their success ; they
wish to Introduce into the Danish systems
of trade , education , etc. , a Httlo of the
American activity.
Speaking of the purpose of his vlelt nnd
Us result Mr. Skram said :
"Wo have known a Httlo about the Ameri
cans through those ot 'our countrymen who
have settled hero and become citizens. Wo
know that you nro progressive , and , as the
rising generation in Denmark lo made up
of young men of progressive ideas , they
wleh to become familiar with your systems ,
thinking that perhaps wo can learn a great
deal from you.
"Then wo do not want the Danes in this
country to forget their nationality. Wo
want to ( have a .brotherhood . of Danish people -
plo all over the world , and wo are starting
in by extending the Danish society of Den
mark to America. I have visited the big
cltlos of the west and Intend to stop In all
the important places of the cast to Interest
my countrymen to the society project and to
inspect the Industrial and school oystems.
"Thoro are a creat many ideas regarding
schools , particularly the grammar schools ,
that wo can introduce with profit in Den
mark. American boya seem to grow to
man's estate quicker than our youth. They
are fitted for business pursuits and profes
sions quicker. They ore taught in moro
ixracttcal ways , and I Intend to try Mo have
American methods copied extensively. "

NEW YORK , Aug. 9-HAImost all of lha
testimony elicited at the meeting of the
Mftzct legislative Investigating committee to.
day was fop the purpose ot showing how
frequently men are robbed In this city while
paying visits to the "Tenderloin , " the "Bow-
cry" nnd other sections of the city where
groups gather nftor the midnight hours.
Mr. Moss had difficulty In obtaining wit
nesses for today's session. The men who
had been the victims ot these eort of crimes
appeared decidedly averse to appearing be
fore the commltteo and telling About It.
Two hundred and fifty subpoenas had 'been '
Issued for men who had been robbed by
women. Not a quarter of these men could
bo found. Noverthloss Mr. Moss was able to
put witness after witness upon the stnnd and
secure account after account of robberies
alleged to have occurred In disorderly houses
In this city. Occasionally the witnesses un
der oath told of facts which appeared to
show collusion between the police and the
fcmalo robbers. Mr. Moss announced that
similar testimony with variations would bo
produced before the committee tomorrow.
The variations , It Is understood , refer to an
Investigation of the opium dens of the city.
Lewis Picker told of a burglary at his
residence. The dettetlvo assigned to tha
case told him that the stolen properly had
probably been taken to Hester strict and
If bla suspicions were correct there WAS no
good looking for It ,
'Picker ' made a search for the goods and
thought he bad traced them to a Dlaco In
Bayard street. Ho watched the place for
sometime and e.iw many waconloads of
oods bolne taken from It. The goods were
addressed variously to places In Kentucky
and Baltimore.
iMr. Moss eald that ho had Issued 250 sub
poenas for persons whoso names appeared
ns complainants on the police blotters. The
subpoena servers had failed to find many
ot the witnesses at the addresses given.
Counsel Bald ho > agreed that It was not
pleasant testimony for men to have to give
in DUbllo and did not think it necessary to
add moro to the statements already made ,
Mr. Moss had n record of tbo arrests of
women for robbsrlos In the Nineteenth pre Y
cinct since January 1 , 1898. There were ICO
n number and the amount of their depreda
tions came to about S2S.OOO. He also read
a list of seventy-nine houses In the precinct
which wcro resorts for thieving prostitutes
and where robberies had occurred and
arrests made. Only nlno ot these places )
wcro on the book of Auspicious places.
iMr. Moss said the urecluct book ehowcdJ
only eleven places described as resorts for !
prostitutes and thlrty-thrco houses suspected !
of being disorderly. ,
Adjourned until tomorrow.
