Fifteen miles northeast of the lightship would take the yachts up on the Long Inland shore, while fifteen miles In the other direction would find tho Jersey shore n barrier. The start, therefore, In caso of a north east or southwest breozc, will be from a point on tho Jersey shore some six miles couth of the lightship, or In an opposite direction on Long Island. Such conditions prevailed six years ago In tho first race of Defender and Valkyrlo III, tho wind being northeast, and the start moved to n point near the Jersey shorn off Scabrlght.

FORMER RACES FOR THE CUP Illatorr of Anterlcn'a Feat nnd 8nl)rcuent Effort nt Lift Inn. America's cup crossed tho Atlantic, where It has since remained, thanks to tho science ot our designers and builders, at a period when yachting was In Its In fancy In the United States. Indeed, Amer ica was nothing more than a New York pilot boat, of exactly similar typo to the A MOUNTAIN CUMBER. Gnlna 12 His. nn CIiiimku of rood. When a change In food can rebuild a man 77 years of age, It Is evidence that there Is some value In a knowledge that can dis criminate In tho selection of proper food to rebuild tho body. A fow months ago the physician attending Wurreu B. Johnson ot Colfax. Cal., "7 years old, told him that death from old age would soon claim him. Ho suffered from general weakness and debility. An old lady advised htm to quit coffee and drink Postum Cereal Food Conjee and to eat Grape-Nuts breakfast foal every morning. He-took tho advice, and has gained 12 pounds. Says bo is as well as he over was, and can take long trips In tho mountains, which he has been unable to do for a long time. Thero Is a reason tor this; In the first plate, coffee acts as ft direct norvo dostroy er on many highly' organized people, both young and old, and many people haven't the knowledge to select nourishing, health ful, rebuilding food. Both Postum Pood Coffee and Orape-Nuts breakfast tood are made from selected parts ot the field grains that contain del icate particles ot phosphate of potash and albumen. These two elements combine In tho human body tcr quickly rebuild the gray matter In the brain and In the nerve' cen ters throughout the body. Direct, sure, and certain results come from their use and can be proven by any person that cares to make the trial. Both the Postum Pood Coffeo and Grape-Nuts are kept by all first-class grocers. Bee, September 23, 1901. u hint of the many good things staunch and speedy crafts that are still seen skimming tho waters of the sound or buffeting the big billows off Sandy Hook. It carried hut a single Jib and no fore topsail. It was owned by John C. Stevens, Hamilton Weeks, Oeorge Schuyler, James Hamilton and J. B. Flnloy. George Steers was Its designer. On Its Initial voyage It crossed ever to Havre, making tho pas sago In twenty-one days. From Havre It sailed for Cowes, England's famous cruis ing and racing grounds. It was during Its trip across tlio Atlantic thut tho now historical cup. In the defenso of which millions havo been spent, whllo millions more havo gono In the vnln effort to restore It to tho custody of tho English yachtsmen, was offered by the Iloyal Yacht club. Competition for thl3 trophy was open to alt the world. When America arrived at Cowes Its owners Issued a general challcngo to race any English boat afloat and for any sum from HO gulntos to 50,000. This defiance was received by the English sportsmen as n pleasant ebullition of Yankee humor nnd no attention was paid ot It. Finally, how ever, a match was arranged with Titnnlu for J300, tho course to be seventy miles to windward and back. At the same tlmo the American yachtsmen were officially In formed that tbey could, If they so desired, compete for the cup. the race for which was to be sailed August 22l This they con cluded to do. KiikIInIi Criticise Aitterlen'a IMk. Meanwhile America had been tho subject of much adverse criticism. Its sails, which trimmed flat. In particular did offense to tho English Idea of how canvas should set. It was not for n moment allowed that America would bo In the race. Tho con test lay between the home yachts. Its owners said nothing all this time. They wero willing to wait their opportunity. On the 22d of August America. In com pany with eight other schooners and as many more cutters, cleared for tho his toric race. The course lay around tho Isle of Wight. The start was roado promptly at 10 o'clock In tho morning. An hour and a halt later America was a good two miles In tho lead. As It torn along with n fresh ening wind the Britishers took In Its per formance In open-eyed astonishment, The raco promised to bo not at nil what had been anticipated. About ii o'clock In the afternoon tho surprising Yankee craft rounded tho Needles with tho nearest Eng lish boat, tho schooner Aurora, a good eight miles nstern. It finished at 8:33 p. m., nnd when tho queen, who had viewed tho start from tho royal yacht, nsked: "Who was second?" tho answer came: "Thero Is no second." In this manner tho Iloyal Yacht squad ron's trophy camo to be known a Ameri ca's cup, nnd It Is on this cup that Sir Thomas Johnstone Llpton has designs, and, perhaps, quite incidentally, on the Ameri can teacup as well. Ilrltluli l'lmt Try. Tho trophy was won In 1851, but It was not until seventeen years lator that It oc curred to on Englishman to cross tho At lantic and hae ft try for It. This was In 18(17, when James Asbury of tho Hoyal Thames Yacht club conceived the patriotic notion of restoring the cup to England. The race, however, did not como off until 1870, when Cambria was sent over. Tho cup was defended by eighteen American yachts. Of theeo Magic proved tho fastest, Idler samo second, whlln America finished third. Cam bria won only tho tenth placo. This one race was considered a cufllclent test of the merits ot the competing crafts. The fact that America finished third Indicated how slight was the advance wo had made In yacht building In all the year that bad elapsed since the cup Journeyed here. Mr. Asbury, on his return to England, at once began tho building ot a new boat, LI vonla. This marked an epoch in the Inter nation! contest, for up to this time no yacht had been especially designed to race tor the cup. Tho terms governing the second contest In American waters wero decidedly In favor ot tho cup defender, for while It was agreed that Livonia should meet but one boat, the New York Yncht club stipulated that It should have the privilege ot selecting that boat on the day of the race. The Injustice of thlb lay In tho fact that a boat could be picked which bad shown exceptional ability In the sort ot weather that prevailed on the day of the race. As four races wero to be sailed, the result ot this" rather shrewd ar rangement was that Livonia was liable to have tu race a different yacht each day, The first ot the four races was sailed Au gust 18, 1871. It was won by Columbia. In tho second race ot tho series It again walked oft with tho honors. In the third, however, It met with nn accident and Li vonia won. Sappho was now put up as thn defender and took two races from tho enc llehmen, which proved that wo had good boats to spare on this side. Whllo this contest wae a mattor of con siderable Interest to many, It created noth ing like the intenso excitement nnd enthu siasm that nil classes and all sections, both horo and In England, feel now. It had not yet come to bo regarded as an International event. C'nnndn Trie n Crack. Following tho defeat or Livonia thero was a lapse of five years, and then tho Canadian schooner Countess ot Dufferln challenged for the trophy, The glory of the American yacht vas entrusted to Madeleine to de- fend. Thero wero two races and Countess of Dufferln returned to Canada without the cup. There was ap Interval of five year more and then Canada mado a second attempt for tho cup. The challenger was the ccn terboard cloop Atalanta. V now aband oned tho schooner type which had stood us In such good stead In the past and put forward the single sticker Mischief. Two races were sailed the first November 9 and tho second November 10. In both MUchlcf won easily. Four years later, In 18S5, the Royal Yacht squadron and tho Hoyal NtaXbern Yacht club chellenged with Goncsta and Galatea, cutters of tho elghty-flve-foot class. Sev eral different arrangements wero consid ered, but the matter was settled by a for mal nrjreemcnt that Oenesta should raco for tho cup In 1885. In the event of Its failure to win It, Galatea was to como across with this end In view In 18S6. We now had to build out of our class. Jamtb Gordon Bennett and W. P. Douglass commissioned Harlan & Holllngsworth to construct a boat after designs furnished by A. Cary Smith. At tho samo time n Boston syndicate, composed of General C. J. Paine, Edward Burgess and J. M. Forbes, Instructed Sawley, the Boston builder, to put up nn clghty-onc-foot slnglo sticker Puritan. The final choice of the New York Yacht club's committee was the latter boat, Its superiority having been decided when the two sloops met to competo for tho Goelet cup. Tho great raco was sailed In September of 188.5 nnd the cup still remained on this side of tho Atlantic. The following year Galatea mot Mayflower with no better luck. A Scotch syndicate now took a hand In the game. It sent Thistle over In 1887. To meet It General Paine built tho steel cutter Volunteer. This race lasted tho British sportsmen for flvo years. They had failed during threo successive years and they were satisfied. Tho sport was only lying fallow, how over, for In 1S93 tho carl of Dunraven challenged with Valkyrie, to be beaten by Vigilant In threo races, sallod October 7, 0 and 13. But Lord Dunraven was not discouraged and In 1895 ho reappeared on tho sccno with Valkyrlo III to raco De fender. This contest was a fluke and fizzle and for a time it seemed that tho cup would repose unsought in the custody of the New York Yncht club. Throe lteeent Itncc. In 1859 Sir Thomas Llpton camo forward with Shamrock I. Columbia was chosen to meet hint after many trials against Do fendor. First Itace, October 16, 1899 Fifteen miles to windward from Sandy Hook light ship and return, wind, oast, moderate to light; rea, smooth. Columbia won by 10 minutes 8 seconds, corrected tlmo. Second Hnce, October 17 Triangular courso of thirty miles; first leg dead to wlndwa.'d, cast by south. The Btart was at 11 o'clock and twenty-five minutes lator Shamrock's port spreader went In the nip nd It lost Its topmast. There was a long swell nnd this caused her to roll too much. Columbia finished nlono, winning tho race by n walkover. Third llacc, October 19 Fifteen miles to leownrd nnd return; course south by west: wind, north by caBt, fresh, about eighteen knots; sen, choppy. Columbia won the race and tho series by 6 minutes 31 seconds, corrected time. This series was mado remarkable by the number of failures to get wind enough for a race. Thero were eight of thcso fizzles. TIMES COMPLIMENTS JAPAN firent London l)nll- Points Ont Where It U .More AVIso Thnn the Powers. LONDON. Sept. 23. The Times In an editorial today says there Is nothing the atrical about the exchange of tho messages between tho emperors of China nnd Japan, yet It may prove of greater and lasting Im portance In eastern politics than more ostentatious performances. Thero is, says the Times, a ring of relative sincerity In many passages of Emperor Kwang Su's let ter not observable In his recent nutographs. Tho most progressive and patriotic of the Chinese viceroys and governors nro, says tho editorial, quite sensible of tho services Japan has rendered China, Thoy know, that Japan owes Its present greatness to tho skill wltn which It borrowed nil that suited It from western civilization and they havo an Instinctive feeling that China cannot at tempt 10 find salvation under better guid ance thnn that, of Japan. To Japan belongs tho credit of being tho first power to tell tho Chinese plainly that permanent peoco In Asli will best bo gained by speedy re form. Tho editorial concludes: "It's (Japan's) statesmanlike action stands tn rather remarkable, contrast to Hint of the grout powers, who deliberately Ignored this vital aspect of tho Chinese question throughout tho Pekfn negotia tions." l'fiHli In Shnmrock Slim.

Thero Is Buch difficulty to find takers that after CO to 40 was twice laid Columbia's admirers wero obliged to raiso tho odds to 110 to 80. Even this did not nttract tho betting men. The general public If apathetic. The long, optimistic dispatches from Now York fall to convince. 'The newspapers bore are trying to awaken Interest In tho race by more or less colorable Imitations of Ameri can newspaper methods tn announcing the progress of the cup races by electrical devices and firework signals, one paper having arranged to run a couplo ot launches, with green nnd red lights respectively, on the Thames.

MORE POINTS THAN ENGLISH Yankte Atbletu Beat Visitirs in Six of the ' Nine EtiiU. YALE AND HARVARD DIVIDE THE HONORS Cnmhrldfie, However, Una to Do All tlio Winning for Its Conalna, na Oxford Seems Out- clnssed. NEW YORK.' Sepl. 25. Tho athletes of Yale and Harvard met tho athletic repre senatlves ot Oxford and Cambridge universities at Berkeley oval In track and field events, and, as was cxpided, tho Americans proved to be toovmuch for the visitors, tho' Americans winning six out of the nine events on the program. Points wero counted for wins only, 'so that tho Harvard and Ynlo men defeated their Eng lish opponents by a score of 6 points to 3. A better condition ot weather could not havo prevailed; the athletes wire favored by a warm sun and a cooling breeze which blew down the homestretch, but was not strong enough to aid the 'light ot the run ners. Between tho American universities honor's Were equally divided, Harvard and Yalo winning three events. The Oxford representatives failed to gain a point for tho visiting team, the light blue ot Cam brldgo being to tho front In tho threo events won by tho'Kuglishmen. Hurdler Closest. Tho closest event of the day was tho 120 yard burdlo event. Gamier ot Oxford and Converse of Harvard had the lssuo between themselves from the crack ot tho pistol. Up to too eighth hurdlo thoy wero abreast, several yards In front of Allcock of Cam brldgo and Clapp of Yale. Going over tho last hurdlo Converso gained a couple ot Inches und as ho threw his hands up ot the tapo the Harvard man was barely six Inches In front of Gamier, the tlmo being 0:15 3-5. Clnpp'e showitii; was a disappointment to mnny. who believed tho Yale hurdler would have been a contestant nt the tape, but he finished a couplo of feet behind Allcock, who ran third, nenrly threo yards behind the winner. Hargravo of Yale made a superhuman effort toward the finish of tho 100-yard dash, which be won In 0:10 2-5, Halga of Harvnrd, who was on tho Inside, led for nearly fifty yards, when he was passed by Hind of Cambridge, who was next to him. Hargravo was equal to the occasion and with a wonderful spurt assumed tho lead and won by a yard. Fast Hair Mile. In tho one. half. mile, run Franchot of Yale won tho, toss ,for pole position, but as Workman of Cambridge wished to try for a record, tho Yaloiman conceded the position. Workman Is certainly a great runner, but he was unablo to break tho record of 1:63 2-5, established by C. H. Ktlpatrlck six years ago in the International gamos at Manhattan. Workman won very handily, with Clcav of Oxford second, In 1:55 3-3, Just two and ono-flfth seconds behind the record. Rust of Harvard won the quarter-mile run, with Boardman his close attendant, neither of tho Englishmen being able to get on even terms' with tho flying leaders at any stngo of tho game. In tho ono-rallo run Cawthra, Cockshott and Orcgson. all. of Cambridge mado tho running nnd hold ,thq lead between them Into the first lapi' Knowles of Harvard then made his effort, DUt'tho best ho cou)d do was to pass Cawthrn, who dropped back, Clark of Harvard running Into fourth placo. They ran in thlitf order Into the stretch, with Cockshott twenty-five yards ahead. So far as tho American runners were concerned, they never had a ghost of a show, as Cock shott won easily, while Gregson, his club mate, finished five yards In front of KnowleB, who mado ft plucky effort. Two Mile Hun nud Field Krenta. In tho two-mile run Workman and Mc Naughton of Cambridge nnd Dawson of Oxford cut out tho running with Mills and Swan of Harvard and Tecl of Yale, running as named. Thero was no change In theso positions during the first mile, but in tho second mllo McNaughton and Teel were out of It. Workman was always running well within himself and at all stages or tho raco ho looked to ba a sure winner. Without faltering for a second Workman won out by nt least forty yards, Mills and Swan fight ing it out .for second honors, with Dawson fourth, three yards back. In tho field ovents tho Americans had It all their own way. May of Oxford caused a good deal of surpriso by his exhibition with tho sixteen-pound hammer. His first throw was 119 fcot 2 Inches, but his second attempt was a wonderful Improvement, as ho threw tho hammer 128 feet 3 Inches, gaining second placo to W. A. Boal of Harvard, who won tho throw with 136 feet 'i inches. G. Stlllman of Yale was unable to appear and his placo was taken by Rich ard Sheldon of Yale, but he also was- In bad physical condition and after making ono Ineffectual attempt ho retired from the contest, Henderson of Oxford finishing third, his best throw being 111 feet 4i inches. flprnker Tnkea Itnnnlnir .In in p. Sprakor ot Ynlo carried off the honors in the running high Jump as well as in the running broad Jump. In the high Jcmp Kornan of Harvard tied Sprakor at 6 feot Yi Inch. The 'bar was then raised one inch and Sprakcr cleared Itj Kernan fall ing to get over. O. II. Smith' of Cambridge dropped out of the contest after clearing 5 feet 10Vi Inches, and Henderson of Ox ford, who also took part In the running broad Jump and hammer-throwing- contest, was fourth with a Jump of C feet 9 Inches. Spraker won tho running broad with a Jump of 22 feot 4 Inches, Rlstlne ot Har vard boing second with 21 feet 1 Inches. Henderson cleared 19 feet 9 inches and Cornish of Oxford, who wrenched his knee shortly after he arrived in this country, mado nn attempt, but bis le twisted under htm and ho bad to retire from the contest after this painful effort. Kneh BTent One Point. The points to count for a decision of the match wero oho for each winner, making nine points In all. Yalo and Harvard teams were -favorites and their adherents, said they would win six out of the nine events, as tbey did, but Evert Jansen Wendell, who Is chairman of the Yale-Harvard Joint com mittee, said that he would be perfectly sat isfied with a score of G to 4 In favor of the American colleglqns. Tho men were called to the marks for the opening event the 100-yard daah at 3:25 and as they appeared on the track wore given a routing reception. Snnunnrr na Hullellned. 100-yard dash: Won by W. II.

"It cannot be de nied," says the DAlly Chronicle, "that the Americans have given us a handsome beat ing, which cannot be explained uwny.

The Dally Telegraph, which expresses Itself as highly pleased at tho courtesy of Franchot of Yalo In yielding his plnco to Workman of Cambridge, which It char acterizes as "an excellent example ot chivalry In sport," admits that thero Is nothing to bIiow that tho Engllshmcu wero adversely affected by the cllmato and says: "Tho two meetings already held havo been so successful that n regular biennial meet ing would be Immensely popular."
