and fortune favored the brave.
The Irish boat did undeniably better work
to the windward. It carved Its way up Into
the wind In astonishing style. Dut hero thu
Columbia seemed to be able to moro than
make up Its footing and as the ability of a
sailing vessel la determined by Its power to
make headway against nn adverse wind. It
is the better boat by that tost.
The Columbia had all the better of the
start. It bounded across the line llko a
race hor.se , with mainsail , cluhtopsall nnd
staysails drawing , spinnaker down to Btar-
fooard , readj- for the race before the wind

broke out like n cloudburst. The Irish boat
was seventeen seconds later In the snmo rig
The enthusiasm was shortlived The wily
Kngllah skipper luffed up to run through the
Yankee's lee weather gauge. Captain llarr
tried to head this off by lulling , This sent
both boats off at almost right angles to the
course , straight la for the Jersey const and
straight for the mob of GOO vessels gathered
to the right of the line for the run down.
The torpedo boats charged down upon thorn

way for the jachts Never was there such

to crawl up. But it did more. Captain Ho
garth took the Shamrock's spinnaker when
the mark was sighted , gybod the Shamrok
and turned down the balloon Jlbtopsall with
rapidity and with everything drawing pl n-
dldly before the Americans knew it was
lulling up toward fho Columbia.
Ilnrr ObNtliiutoly I-O | | M Suit.
Captain Barr , on the Columbia , then fol
lowed eult , but the Shamrock had passed him
well to windward. Captain Hogarth then
set his spinnaker to port and Increased the
lead. Captain Barr seemed unwilling at
first to follow the lead of the Englishman ,
and waited almost fifteen minutes while the
Shamrock overhauled and passed him before
ho followed suit. The Shamrock was a
hundred yards ahead before he had got his
sails trimmed to the new conditions. The
patriots did not mlnco their worda In their
criticism of Barr's obstinacy. Soon afterward
the wind hauled around still further , making
It a broad reach to the mark. Both took In
their spinnakers and cased their sheets.
Then the whlto flyer gained steadily. The
yachts were now about a mlle and a half
from'tho outer ninrk.
Steamers , tuga and yachts hurried across
the course and lined up to leeward walling
with eager Interest to BCD which would
round first Gallantly the American came
on. It was astonishing how fast It glided
through the water. It nto up the distance
botHwn It and the green boat , until , when
the mark vraa only a quarter of a mlle away ,
less than a hundred jards separated them.
Hope rose. The Shamrock was to vvlndnard.
Both racers wcro coming llko horses down
the stretch. A hundred feet away and the
Columbia had closed the gap. Its slender
prow just lapped the stern of the green
hull. Under the rules they must DOSS the
float with the red ball on tbo starboard end.
As the balloon jibs rattled down on both
beaU preparatory to the gbc , the watch
ing thousands held their breath. H did not
cccm possible that the whlto ghost could
equcczc In between Shamrock and the mark.
iHcllii I'lnjH the Uiult.
To tbo onlookers It seemed Inevitable that
unless the Yankee boat kept away under the
stern of the Shamrock thcro would bo a
collision , or tbo Columbia would foul the
flout. But C. Oliver Iselln has desperate
courage In a tight place. He plays the limit.
The man who eet a clubtopsall in a driv
ing gale in a deciding race between the
Vigilant and Valkyrlo II would stop at
nothing. On la- came , forcing the Shamrock
. to go wide arotitid , while the Columbia
I seemed to flcrapo.the lloat as It swung about
' with hclnuhard down , Though the Sham
rock lounded first by nine seconds , It swept
around BO far on the outside that as botn
boats came up and their sails filled an ay
. on the starboard tack , the Columbia not
| only had the weather gauge , but was In the
lead. No more reckless piece of courage
was ever seen In an International race. It
was a desrcrata game , but It won. Had
I the Columbia ay much us touched the float
'It'wouU ' have been disqualified then and
I there.
I The patriots cheered wildly and the skippers -
' pors of the excursion boats let oft steam
enough lo carry their vessels back to New
York.
The enthusiasm of the patriots broke out
again a few minutes later when , after a
few abort tacks , Shamrock tried to cross
Columbia's bows but failed. The beat to
windward was by far the most Interesting
portion ofthe race , while the breeze held.
Close hauled the two jachts slashed straight
out to eca through the long heavy en ell ,
heeling to the breeze In stately fashion , with
foam spurting from their graceful bows and
I crows piled up on the weather rail of the
'sloping ' decks. Though no solid water came
the glistening sides , It swirled along
under the counters. There was plenty of
spray and every man nbonrd was as net ns If
he had been under a shower bath. ,
It "R.is rather strange ) that the Columbia ,
the famous light weather boat , should ca
reen less to the wind thin Its rival from
over the sea. The old bnrnaclca Bald Its
Immense overhang , dipping down , supported
it and kept It up " .stiff as a church. " The
Shamrock , the famous heavy wcflther boal ,
leaned lo It llko a queen As the wind
began to die out and the hope of finishing
the rnco began to vanish , the two boats
split lacks and did not corao together ngnln
for a long time , keeping every one guess
ing which one was ahead
During this fluky period cvervbody agreed
that the Shamrock waa the better handled.
It never failed to take advantage of every
now slant of the wind. At last , twenty min
utes before the race was declared off , Sham
rock decided to try conclusions and It headed
across the Columbia's bow. So uncertain
was the result that no o'io knew until the
jachts wore within a hundred feet of each
other which would have to glvo way. The
Yankee skippers nil had their hands on their
whlstlo cords , and when ho Shamrock put
up Its helm uuablo to mak6 it , from both
sides of the course hundreds of whistles
shrieked. Both sailed the last twenty min
utes nock nnd neck , but with the Columbia
to windward and perhaps a length ahead.
Disappointed , but overjojcd that when the
race was declared off the cup defender was
In the lead , the excursion fleet headed back ,
for Sandy Hook ns fast ns steam and sail
could carry it. The sun was swinging be
hind a bank of crimson clouds ns thu head
ot the procession surged into The Narrows ,
and the crescent new moon and Us hope ot
better things hung a narrow thread ol sliver
in the sky.

GALESUUUG , 111. , Oct. 7. On the campus
of historic Knox college , where forty-one
3 cars ago Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A.
Douglas met In one of a memorable series
of debates lo determine who should occupy
ft seat In the United States senate , President
McKlnley and Postmaster General Charlca
Emory Smith this morning delivered stirring
addresses commemorative of the contest be
tween those two gicat leaders of former
dajs. The citizens of Galeeburg turned out
cmnasao lo honor the president of the United
States and the members of his cabinet , and
nn opportunity was given them to greet
their distinguished gueets as hey were
driven In carriages through the streets of
the city before the exorcises at thu college
began.
The escort to the president , under com
mand of Captain Charles C. Craig , met Mr.
McKlnley at the residence of Colonel Clark
12 , Carr , minister to Denmark during the
administration of President Harrison , where
ho spent the night. In the carriage with
President McKlulcy were Colonel Carr ,
Mayor Fletcher Carney and Justice Alfred
M. Craig of the Illinois supreme court. The
members of the cabinet , In company with
Dr. John 11. Flnlay , former president of
Knox college , and other prominent citizens
of Galesburg , followed In a long line of
carriages. Everywhere along the line of
march the enthusiasm of the people was
unbounded and when the college campus was
reached the president received a terrific
ovation.
Colonel Carr presided over the exercises ,
and the Invocation was delivered by Dr. C.
E. Nash , president of Lombard university.
Congressman George W. Prince welcomed
the president to the Tenth congressional dis
trict and the greeting on behalf of the people
of Illinois waa spoken by Senator Shelby M.
Cullom. The brief speech of the president
was listened to with the closest attention
and punctuated throughout Its delivery with
outbursts of applause.
MnrliN ti Mojnoralilc Era.
The president spoke as follows :
"Mr. Chairman and My Fellow-Citizens.
The time and place make this meeting
nemorable. Forty-ono years ago on this
spot two mighty leaders , representing op-
icslng Ideas , contended for mastery before
the tribune of the people. It was a contest
which history will not fall to record , and
some nro jot living to tell of Its Interesting
and thrilling story. It las been recited
around the family fireside , until , to the
leoplo of Illinois , It has become a house <
lold tale , Inspiring love of liberty and devo *
tlon to free Institutions. Here , therefore ,
nro sacred memories which will bo cherished
by this community for all time and are per
nanently Incorporated In the life of the na
tion. Lincoln and Douglas nro Inseparably
connected In the public mind. Their nsso
elation began In conflict and ended in co
operation. They were In antagonism for
more than a generation over the Interpreta-
.lon of the constitution and were united at
last when the constitution Itself \\us as
sailed. They might differ , as they did over
the meaning of some of Its provisions , but
when theorists came they stood together for
its inviolability .and . for the Inseparability
of the union it established. The one as
serted the right'of slavery under certain
conditions to enter the territories the other
disputed that right under any conditions
but both agreed that the slave power should
not divide the union.
"Tho debate was national and historical.
It commanded profound attention. It Interested -
ested ' ell sections. It was watched with deep
est n'nxletj by the followers of both. It was
read and studied as no other public question
before or since. It presented the best of two
coiilllctlng schools of thought. It was epoch-
making and marked an epoch in our history.
It Influenced public thought and purpose. It
made the issue Impossible of escape ; It could
bo no longer avoided or evaded. It united
the friends of liberty , as well as those of
slavery. It hastened the 'Irrepressible con
flict. ' It was not the beginning of the agi
tation , but It carried it Into the lives and
homes of the republic , and no issue la ever
rightly settled until it Is settled there. It
Is no little source of satisfaction that upon
the gie.vt question presented In these de
bates , while Douglas carried the legislature
Lincoln had a majority of tha people. The
torch of liberty WHS not lighted heie , but It
flamed forth with a broader , brighter light
as It was lighted up by the strong arm of
Abraham Lincoln.

the representatives of the Associated Press
a dispatch in these words
" 'April ' 18 , 1S81. Senator Douglas called
on the president nnd had an Interesting ion-
vorsntlon on the present condition ot the
Country. The subrtanco of it was , on the
part of Mr. Douglas , that while he was un
alterably oppcpod lo the administration In
nil political Issues , he wns prepared to fully
sustain the president In the exercise of all
his constitutional functions to preserve the
union , maintain the government nnd defend
the federal capital. A firm policy and prompt
action wcro tiecessarj. The capital wns In
danger nnd must bo defended nt nil hazards
nnd nt any expense of men and money. Ho
epoko of the present and future without nny
reference to the past. '
"Ho no longer considered party. His solo
concern was for his country. Ho had no
sjmpathy with our enemlcB In tbo noith wha
openly or secretly counselled the dissolution
of the union Ho was for the flit ; nnd for Its
cause and the bravo mon who carried It had
his blessing and prnjcis Ills patriotic
course vvn' n mighty facUr In molding union
sentiment and In uniting ( ho patriotism et
the country nnd should servo ns an example
of good citizenship and nn Inspiration to
duty.
"Though Douglas espoused a cause
doomed to defeat , jet his name wns cher
ished by patriots everywhere because when
the test came ho was found supporting the
government and advising his followers to
uphold the constituted authorities. It Is
the cause which lives nnd It Is the cause
which makes the men Identified with It Im
mortal in history. Lincoln was the leader
of the triumphant cause. Douglas , thougn
opposed to him for a life-time , supported
and strengthened hla arm. Hoth will bo
remembered longest , not for the debate , but
for their part In the mighty events which
ensued. They will live because the union
which was saved nnd the liberty which waa
established will cnduro to perpetuate their
names.
"To Lincoln , -who In 185S was struggling
hero against the encroachment of elavery ,
not for Its destruction where It existed , but
against its further extension , wns finally
given by the people under the providence or
God the opportunity nnd the power to en
throne liberty In every part of the re
public. "
Then followed the oration of the day.
which wns delivered by Postmaster General
Charles Kmory Smith. Mr. Smith's eloquent
tributes to the character and services of
both Lincoln nnd Doughs and hla reminis
cences of old days In the Illinois political
arena were much appreciated by the Im
mense crowd ot listeners , eome of whom
had been among the audiences which , In
1S5S , witnessed the polemic warfare between
the great emancipator and the champion of
popular sovereignty.
At the conclusion of the exercises , shortly
before noon , the presidential part ) boarded
the train for Chicago.
Secretary of State Hay , being called for by
the audience , responded very briefly as fol
lows :
Sccrclnrjllnj'n TlcmnrUn.
"It would not be becoming for mo to oc
cupy more than a mlnuto of your tlmo on
nn occasion so Important ns this , where
every instant has been provided for. I will
tbereforo only thank you for your kind wel
come nnd congratulate you 011 the great suc
cess of jour day. This community has al
ways been famous in our annnls for Its loy
alty to Ita Ideals for its devotions to the
things of the spliit.
"In a country and tlmo where action re
ceives more attention than Ideas , where ma
terial triumphs are more euro of their recog
nition nnd rewnrd than the more profound
and far-reaching victories of thought , It is
characteristic of the people of Galesburg that
they have chosen to celebrate the memory of
one of the greatest Intellectual and moral
contents which our country has known. I
am not the person , nor is this the time to
discues the merits of that battle of Titans ,
but we are all agreed that there have been
few controversies more Important and sig
nificant , more filled with human and historic
interest that the debate , which
beginning nt Ottawa and continued at
Galesburg , was accled on with ever-
Increasing power nnd energy over this great
state , until the nation etooJ by to listen and
applaud. AB Is the case with all great moral
ccnflbts , Its echoes did not die with the
close of the debxto. They swelled Into a
clamor like that of an ocean , shaking a con
tinent nnd disturbing the world. The con
flict of ideas burst forth Into a conflict of
arms , and after four years of war and de
struction , peace came and reflection and the
rainbow of reconciliation spanning all our
vast domain ot promise. And , when the
