Fancy a man of stout build, rather tall,
somewhero on tho sloping side of the great
divide between youth and age, with a prom
inent noso o the crowning peak of tin
ultra-florid face, let this mnn bo garbed In
11 tult of dark woolen material eucli as may
be bought In any tailor ehop for $25 or 3U,
put a hat on tho top of his head and en-
elope his feet In shoes marked down to
J.'i 60, make him entirely ftco from affecta
tion and apparently totally unconscious of
his greatness do this, and you have a
mind plcturo of J. Plorpont Morgan as ho
appeared yesterday when ho tarried five
minutes Ht Omaha Union station on his
way to San Francisco.
I. I'lerpont Morgan, the ruler of rail
roads, men nnd money, the head of tho
gical steel corporation, the man by whoso
gr.uo your hard roal lire will burn through
the coming wlntei. the man two worlds arc
talking about ho stood on the station plat
form yesterday during his brief stay In this
nty as unostcntutlouely m though ho were
only tho proprietor of a grain elevator, a
tanning factory, a creamery or a profper
tin general inorchandlso stnro over In some
of the rich counties of Iowa's bluo grass
region.
Unsy to Approm-h.
Any man. no matter how common, may
talk to J. I'lerpont Morgan easily enough
If he has business. Mr. Morgan In not sure
to talk bmk. If he docs not happen to bo
rn rapport with tho subject he nun a way
of letting thn fact be known without dan
ger of ambiguity.
This Interesting man Is going to San
I'raucisco on account of tha triennial con
vention of the Episcopal church. There
Mr. Morgan will shclvo financial cares long
enough to act a a lay delegate. With him
is a party of about seventy. Including many
prominent churchmen, nml together they
occupy a epeclal train of six I'ullmans.
The train arrived nt Council muffs over
the Northwestern at 4 : 1G p m. after an
uneventful run on regular passenger
rchedulu time from Chicago, which city was
left at 6:10 n. m. When tho trnln pulled
Into tho Union Pacltlc transfer depot It
was met bv a staff artist of The Ilee and
a reporter. Ho was easy of access, but
flatly refused to tand beforo tho camera.
ffiilr ii f the I'll ml I)'.
A near relative, E. R. Morgan, Is the
owner of tho victorious Columbia, which
gives J. I'lerpont cause to look upon the
International vacht races somewhat In the
light of a family affair. Ho received the
first nows of tho American yacht's surcess
from The Beo and was much pleased to
Irani the reult. Mr. Morgan was ilellghteil
with nn excellent plcturo of the Columbia
presented to him by Tho Bee's art depart
ment. At Council U luff a tho train was delivered
to tho l'n Ion Pacific and an ontlro chaugo
of train and engine crews made. Ono of
tho big new engines, No. !St9, with Engi
neer Sorcnson t tho throttle, was coupled
on and tho train takon In ehargo by Con
ductor Austin Taylor. It -itarteil on Its
2,000-mllo Journey on tho Overland after a
half hour wait.
(mrtt'il liy Omnliu Chiirehn.rti.
A short stop was made nt the Union .it a -tlon,
whore tho train wos met by u party of
Episcopal clergymen, headed by Bishop A
L. Williams. Mr. Morgan appealed on the
irar platform and greotcd the Omaha party,
but retreated Into tho car every tltno ho
saw a camera lovolcd In his direction. A
striking thing about him Is the apparent
unconcern for his own safety. He docs not
seem to fear tho attuck of a crank nnd has
no thought of assusslnntlon, with which
many wealthy men are said to haunted.
"Mr. Morgan," ventured a reporter, "who
owns tho Northern Pacific now?"
Mr. Morgan gazed over at tho Iowa bluffs
and scorned lost In thought.
"Was tho settlement of tho great steel
strike satisfactory to you?"
If Mr. Morgan heard ho gave no Indica
tion. "Have you entirely recovered from your
reciont Illness?"
Tho man of money continued to study tho
Iowa topography,
"Do you Intend to return from San Kran
clsco by this routo?"
It was not Mr, Morgan's day to talk, al
though ho did open up lone enough to say:
"Olad to hear of Columbia's victory;

Just then Mr. Morgan's train whistled
him out of Omaha, and If he left anything
unsaid he will probably fay It In 'Frisco.
Tho Union Pacific will mako regular
schedule time with tho train. It was duo
to arrive at Orand Island, where engines
will be changed, at 8. -10 p. m, Another
change will be made at North Platte and
asldo from these, but few stops will bo
made.

along tho weather rail. They heeled to the
wind until their leo rails were awash In
tho swirling, bubbling seas and from the
windward sides they showed yards of their
bronie under bodies.
Neck nnd neck, tack and tacked, they
raced like a team of horses. Dismay began
to bo written m tho faces of tho patriots
as Uarr tried one. twico and finally a third
time to crois tho bow of the foreigners, only
to be forced around each time by the lean
golden boat.
Tlmr for Tenr.
Visions of the dear old cup vanishing
across tho waters danced before their eyes,
On nnd on they How. turning twin wings of
foam from their bows and Columbia eeem
Ingly falling back rather than gaining. The
hearts of tho patriots sank lower and lower.
Aa the vnchts got further out tho white
flyer seemed to labor more heavily In the
long waves.
Just after parsing Long Reach hotel, with
Its verandas and windows filled with pco-'
pie, the City of Paris, now Philadelphia,
came foam'ng from tho east with a bono In
Ita teeth. It headed slightly northward
between the racers and the shore In order
not to Impede them with Its wash, nnd went
by llko an express train, dipping Its flag In
ralute, lis passengers and crow lined the
rail for a sight of the exhilarating spectn
cle until It waa listed far down to port,
t'linettlril ('oiiilltliiim,
The vessels In the excursion fleet by
this tltno wero rolling bndly. Many of tho
spectators wero forced to the seclusion of
their cabins nnd many others kept suspic
iously near the rails. The excursion ves
sels formed a crescent about the stakebont
as tho yach'ts rounded tho outer mark, but
It wot, n doleful fleet. As Shamrock wore
round, with Its spinnaker polo to starboard
llko a lance In rest the big steam yacht Erin,
with tho Royal Ulster Yacht club ensign
at its taffrail, opened Its whletlo long and
loud. It was tho first time Sir Thomas had
felt the Joy of victory nnd he and his party
probably enjoyed It to the full. Tho Yan
kee skippers were too polite not to pull
their whistle cords, but the toots wero not
loud nnd long and the bands did not play
"Columbia, tho Ocm of tho Ocean." Hut
when tbo racers had spread their pinions
nnd tho white flyer Columbia begun to cut
up tho green wntcr between It nnd the
challenger, and later when tho yachts got
on even tonus about half way homo, tho
bonds began to play and tho people raised a
chejr. Aa they approached the finish Hue.
Celumbln leading by half a dozen lengths,
all the pent up enthusiasm burst forth,
Sciirril Into MlriiiT.
About a quarter of a mile beforo they
reached the line the golden boat blanketed
the white ono and for a moment It ran up
alongside, and It looked as If It would bo
first home. Cheers died In patriotic throats.
Suddenly as Columbia luffed off and got Its
wind chear It forged ahead and camo tear
ing down like mad. As It crossed, thrco
lengths nhcud, tho enthusiasm broko out
again with redoubled energy and made
a terrific nolso and din. Sirens walled and
tho whltu steam Jets made It look as If tvtry
bhlp In tho licet had broken Its stcomchest.
When Corsair, J. P. Morgan's steam
yacht, threw Its powder Into smoke, every
body cheered. Men and women Jumped up
and down for very Joy. Not a few hats
tossed Into the air fell overboard, but
their owners cared not.
Himt Thi- Celrhrnteil,
Corsair set American flags nt both peaks,
gaffs and traffrall. Soon the whole fleet
blossomed out In the national colors. Cor
sair went alongside tho defender and Its
crew gavo thrco cheers, which tho Yankee
(ars aboard Columbia answered with bared
heads. Tho whole fleet seemed anxious (o
escort Columbia to Its anchorage. Mean
time Shamrock had taken a tow from Its
tender and had drawn out of the rurk of
the steamers. Escorted by Erin, which
showed a big hole that the rovenue cutter
Oreshara had stove In Its port quarter, It
headed for thu berth behind the llook.
Somo of the excursion boats dropped back
to salute the popular sportsman who has
been game enough to make a second effort
to lift tho cup and then the whole fleet
moved on In n mad race for home, many
of the skippers keeping their whistles going
until they reached Tho Narrows at the en
trance to tbo upper bay.
I.lpton Still Game.
When it was all over 8lr Thomas Ltpton
showed himself the thorough sportsman ha
it.
"Well," he said, as ha stood on the deck
of Erin, "that's one dot against us. Dut In
my own heart 1 am Just as hopeful as I was
this morning, for I feel that If I only have
a wind I'm all right. It was a fair anil
square race, no fluke, but It was not Sham
rock's day. We want a breeze that will put
that deck six Inches under water and then
you'll see a race, no sure of ono thing I
was licked fairly today."
Captain Rob Wrtnge, who was on the
deck of Erin at Sir Thomas' elbow, said:
"If wa get a fresh breeze we will lift the
cup yet. A nine to twelve-knot breeze is
what we want."
Amrrlciin Are Xot llonut Iiik.
E. D. Morgan, while highly pleased, had
little comment to make. "Wo beat them
fairly," ho said, "although tho wind condi
tions wero not all that could have been de
sired, After turning tho outer mark we
wero confident of bringing: Columbia homo
a winnor. I will venture no predictions as
to tho outcome of tho future races. We
bavo carefully avoided boasting, but shall
put forth our bost endeavors to keep Amer
ica's cup on this sido of tho Atlantic."
Captain narr also was much gratified over
tha victory.
"It was a close race, but a clean one,"
ho said. "Wind conditions wero perhaps
not all that could have been desired, but
such ns they wero our boat was never In
danger, I believe, at any point."
Fine Ilrccro Greets Thrm.
When the two yachts went out to Sandy
Hook lightship there wos a fine breeze
blowing nine knots, a little east from south
east, promising better as tha day pro
gressed. Tho long, greasy swell, always a
forerunner of a storm, came In with con
slderable force and tho roll of the sea
from southward, caused by the disturbance
down the coast, made It unpleasant for
those not accustomed to ocean waves, Co
lumbia hoisted Its white sails and set them
till they showed not tho slightest wrinkle
or soft spot In their whole surface. When
once Its canvas was up and sheeted home
Columbia cast loose from Its tug and took
a Bptn seaward, steering away to tho south
east In order to test the strength of the
wind and sen. Shamrock, when it let go
Its tow, stood to tho eastward and In a
series of preliminary taeki got Its canvas
In trim for tbo serious business of the day,
The wind had freshened a bit when th
tug Navigator, with tho regatta commltte-
aboard, anchored at the southeasterly end
of the line, with Sandy Hook lightship
forming the other extremity.
t'onritp In liitllc ntrtl.
Soon afterward signals were hoisted on
the committee tug, denoting that the courso
would be east by south, fifteen miles to
windward and return. The preparatory
gun was fired at 10.15, Columbia had se
cured meanwhile a berth to windward of
the line, while Shamrock was curveting
about at a considerable distance to lee
ward. Raby Jibs were hoisted In steps otl both
boats and the Ilrltlsher was the first to
break them to the breeze. Captain Syca
more was at Its tiller, down on tho lee
ward side, as usual. On Columbia Skipper
Ilarr was at the wheel. The force of the
wind wus now fully ulnn knots an hour. H
was sometimes puffy and occasionally
reached the dimensions of a scupper
breeze, when the yachts heeled to Its
strength. The warning gun was fired at
10:f." and nt that time both yachts had
worked to windward of tho line, with Sham
rock now In tho weather position. At tho
warning signal both yachts bore down and
camo to leeward. There Columbia luffed
sharp on the port tnck, with Shamrock
close on its heels. At 10:5S Columbia went
on the starboard tack, this maneuver being
repeated by Its rival.
Ilnrr I'lniln nn I'iiinl,
Shamrock luffed up to windward of Co
llmbla nnd when tho starting gun camo
had a splendid position and went over the
line two seconds aheud of Its rival and
well placed In the windward berth. For
onco tho doughty Charlie Rarr had met his
equal In tho starting trick. Columbia tried
In vain to work out through the leo of Its
opponent. Several short tacks were taken,
but In spite of nil efforts It could net get
chnr. It was jammed under the lee of tho
challenger, n position not often occupied
by tho old defender.
Columbia, on the port tack, tried to cross
the bowb of Shamrock, but In vain. The
challenger havlag tho rUht of way, forced
It about. Instead of going under Its rival's
stern, Columbia preferred the position un
der Its lee bow so long as It could got (ho
wind free. At 11 40 Shamrock had a good
lead of nearly 300 yards.
When tho vessels were on tho port tack
they encountered a pretty hard head sen.
While on the starboard tack tho seas smoto
thera abeam. Shamrock appcored to splash
moro agulnst the noso-enders than Colum
bia, but the splashing did not 'retard Its
speed In the least. Not a tremor could be
detected In the luffs of the satis of cither
racer. Roth were handled to perfection and
wero given a good, clean fill, not the least
quiver being allowed to make Itself mani
fest In a single cloth.
Shniiirnok Miii'k Gnen HlRher.
Ry several sharp tacks Columbia- again
tried to work Itself out of tho leoward
position. All efforts, however, were futile.
At 12:64 both boats, on the port tack, were
heading for the outer mark, which on this
occasion was the tug Edgar F. Luckcubach.
tho raft which It carried having failed to
right Itself when put overboard, Tho wind
now was tho freshest of the day. Sham
rock had ri lead of at least 400 yards, nnd
as It approached tho mark It was seen that
It had handily beaten thn old defender
In tho windward work. It turned In ex
cellent style, and with main boom square
off to port, tho spinnaker boom was low
ered to starboard. Columbia made an
equally good tuin.
The oniclnl time at the maik was ns
follows: Shamrock, 1:23:62; Columbia,
1:25:53.
Shamrock In the belt to windward had
thus gained thlrty-ntna seconds. It had
beaten Columbia, boat for boat, but had
not overcome the handicap of forty-three
seconds' time allowance which, under the
rules of tho New York Yacht club, It as
compelled to concede.
Slnrtlns llncli.
There was considerable delay in setting
spinnakers. Shamrock waiting apparently
for Columbia and luffing out In order to
prevent a blanket. Finally at 1:32 Columbia
broko out Its spinnaker and nt the same
tlmo a tremendous balloon Jib. Shamrock
smartly followed suit. In the heavy roll
of the sea, which was now on tho port
quarter of the two boats the main booms
trailed In the water as thoy lurched to
leeward. These wero tauted up clear of
the sea, thereby spoiling somewhat the set
of the mainsails. The stern chase Is a
long one. but slowly the old Columbia
crawled up on the new Shamrock. At 2:10
It was abeam and half a minute later was
the leading boat. Slowly It still crept
ahead and at 2:14 It was all of half a length
head. From that time on to the finish It
kept In tho load. The wind was now drop
ping light, but in spite of Its much larger
sail plan Shamrock could not prcvont th
steady, though slow, gain of Columbia.
For nearly an hour the race continued
without further event. Then, at 3:15. the
wind freshened slightly, filling out the
Immense sails of Shamrock. Slowly It
crept up aud lessened the gap betweon It
and the defender. Now It was only a half
length behind. Now it was very nearly on
even terms, and It became a matter of
doubt as to which boat would first cross
the finish line, less than a mllo away.
Columliln Wlna,
It was the last of tho many exciting mo
mcnts In the contest, for very soon Colum
bia, getting Its wind free, again pulled out
and with surprising rapidity opened up on
the challenger and pulled out a lead that
left the result no longer In doubt. It
crossed the line a winner not only on time
allowance, but boat for boat.

UPTON HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Patrol llont Grenlinm Unit Might
Collision with II I m Stenm
Yacht Hrin.
NEW YORK. Sept. 28. Sir Thomas Lin
ton's steam yacht Erin narrowly escaped
a terlouB accident today, when, Just after
Shamrock and Columbia had rounded the
turn, the United States recnue cutter
Gteshara collided with It.
Doth boats were doing patrol duty, Ores
ham In Iho hands of Commander Thomas
Walker and Erin for the day In charge
of Lieutenant John noedeker, of tho United
Slates revenue cutter service. In startlne
to clear tho courso for the homo strotch.
Oresbam apparently Irled to cross tho bows
of Erin. There was evidently a misunder
standing nt signals by Gresham and It was
too late when at last It tried to back out
and Erin put on full steam ahead, Tho
revenue cutter struck the yacht a glancing
blow on tho port quarter, thirty or forty
foet from the stern. A plato was bent,
some paint rubbed off and the rail bruised.
Insldo. athwart ship a (Vk beam was
broken.
When asked by Commander Walker ns
to the damage. Sir Thomas from the bridge
said: "I know you could not holp It; you
are tho last man In the world to do such a
thing, only let me get to Sandy Hook and
I don't care. There's not a cent's worth of
damage, It's all right."
Afterward In the cabin he satd "It was
a very narrow shave, If Gresbam had
struck us amidships we would probably
have been very wet now. Commander
