After the showing mado thus far by both
boat I should not hesitate, If I were a
betting man, to lay even money on Sham
rock. Iloth boats were handled today to
the best ability of tho best men each
could produce, I don't think there's a
bettor skipper In America than Captain
Charlie liarr of Columbia."
Sir Thomas cxpretsed himself as per
sonally In favor of racing every day, pro
vided any suggestion looking to that end
should bo made. Captain Hob Wrlnge. who
stands by Sir Thomas on the bridge, when
asked If ho considered Shamrock's chances
better, ald; "I can't say Its chance aro
better, for they wero never bad."
MliniiiriM'lf linn imv Hnllft.
When the string of signals was hoisted
Indicating tho course the rival boats wero
katlng about the lightship. Shamrock
was clothed In n brand new suit of light
weather sails, admirably cut and of marvel
ous fit. Columbia, however, was obliged
to content Itself with tho same oil suit
that rairled It to victory Saturday.
Beforo tho start Shamrock hoUted a tiny
Jib topsail, perhaps the smallest ever car
ried by a cup yacht. It answered Its pur
poie as a steering sail and proved of great
ndvatitage In a day so full of flukes.
The preparatory gun was fired nt 10: ID,
At that time both yachts were on port tnck
Handing to the southwnrd, with Shamrock
In tho lead and Columbia following In It
wake. Ten minutes later the bang of tho
warning gun was heard and Columbia, wear
ing sharply round, trimmed ltd sails on tho
other' tnck, Shamrock crossing Its bow. '
Columbia took good rare to secure tho
weather berth and ten weconds nflor tho
starting gun, which was fired at the dot of '
11, It -crossed tho lino on the stnrbowd
tack ahead and well to windward. Sham
rock luffed over tho lino a few seconds be
fore the gunfire and was recalled ny the;
Judges' boat. Tho time of start was:
Columbia 11:00.01, Shamrock 11:00:2:.
Fortune Smllr l-'lrat on YitnWre.
Luck was with the American boat at AwL
for a fortunate catspaw struck It and en
abled It to head up a couple of points
higher than Its opponent. This gave It a
commanding lead, Shamrock meanwhile j
scarcely moving.
8hamrock went on tho port tack fifteen
minutes after tho start. Tho American
boat showed Its superiority In coming about
nnd gathering way as soon as Its head
sheets wero trimmed down. At 11:30 both
yachts wero. pretty nearly becalmed. Co
lumbia having a lead of about a quarter of
a mile. At 11:35 Shamrock went on the
starboard tnck, Columbia followed, and
then a lucky streak filled Shamrock's sails
and gave It nn appreciable lift. At noon
both yachts w ere, on, the port tnck,r almost
becalmed. Tho ciiiti topsails nudj Jib" top
sails wero the only sails that puffed out
rcipnnslvo to the stray stroaks of nlr. Thn
big mainsails flapped na the yachts rose
and fell In the long easterly roll and the luff
of tho head sails quivered. Tho result wns
that the yachts barely had steerage way.
WhlMlne Wind Spoil, llnrr'n Plan.
Then the unexpected happened. Wafted
along at a ftno clip by n stray puff. Sham
rock overhauled Columbia and nt 1:15 (t was
so closo that Captain liarr boro down on
It In order to kill Its wind, as he had
so often killed tho wind of Constitution.
Shamrock went on tho port tack lmmc- j
dlntely, followed by Columbia, and In an
other minute the Britisher was ahead and
to windward. The wind now became moro
southerly. Doth yachts set Jib topsails
and eased off sheets, steering a dlroct
coiirso for the mark. Then Shamrock
forged ahead and got Into thn doldrums,
while Columbia got nslant of wind nnd at
1:55 passed Shamrock. Then It was Sham
rock's turn to get the benefit of a breeze
and It enmo along and planted Itself on
Columbia's weather quarter, crawling up
on It until at 2:0S they wero neck and
neck, with tho Drltlsh boat to windward,
blanketing Its opponent.
To cscnpe from this blanket Captain
liarr sent Columbia on the port tack at 2:12
p. m., but luck was agulnst It nnd It lost
every breath of the flcklo wind, as well as
steerage, and It was fully Ave mlnutca be
fore It got away and by that tlmo Shamrock
was too far ahead to bo overtaken. The
first mark wns then closo at hand and the
rachts tacked around U'ns follows: Sham
rock, 2:41:30; Columbia, 2:44:41.
Shamrock had beaten the defender 3 min
utes nnd 20 seconds In the first ten miles
and try as Columbia would ft wnB unahlo to
lessen tbe gap between It nnd Shamrock,
It held Its luff hunting for wind, but fall
ing to And It dropped slowly astern until
the guu from tho committee brought tho
contest to an end, with nearly half a mile
of blue wator between It and tho golden
boat of Upton.
Glimmer of Hope for London.
LONDON, Oct. 2. The morning papers
Indulge In little comment on tho perform
ances of Shamrock II and Columbia yester
day, altbougb thcoo performances am hold
to conllrm the Impression the challenger
would show better on the triangular course
and Is apparently Improving Its form, Ita
work In yestetday's light airs giving great
satisfaction,
"It looks as It it wero only beginning to
how Its beat form," says tbo Dally Graphic.
"If that la so the abortive races may provo
In the end to have been stepping stones to
Ylctory."
It Is generally conceded that Sir Thomas
Upton's chances of lifting tho cup look
brighter.

SEYMOUR IS THE NOMINEE
Xcnnrk'a .Mnjnr llecomea Democratic
C'nndlclnte for Aew Jeraejr Gov
ernor After lilvelr Wramajle.
TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 1. Mayor James
M. Seymour of Newark was nominated
on tho second ballot today as tho demo
cratlc candidate for governor of New Jer
sey In n convention that at times was turbulent-
In, the extreme.
, State Chairman William CJourley was per
manent chairman of tho convention. In tho
first voting the Seymour and the' antl
Seymour forces were nlmo'st evenly divided
rtnd had the antl-Soymour leaders been able
to concentrate their vote on n single can
didate they mlgt Hive won. Howover.
there wns a strong undercurrent among the
delegates for Seymour and It wns only
through tho generalship of tho leaders of
tho antl-Seyraour forces that tho latter were
kept In line.
Tho nomination of Mayor Seymour was
a defeat for former United States Senator
Smith and his forces and a victory for E.
F. C. Young nnd Robert Davis of Hudson
county and Colonel E. L. Trlco of Essex
county.
Tho antl-Seyraour people made an effort
to concentrate their strength on ox-Con
gressmau Ferrell of Gloucester county and
succeoded to the extent of securing 4S0
votes for him on tho first ballot, which
waj only eight less than the vote given
to Seymour.
Thero were 1,143 delegates In the con
vention nnd on tho second ballot the scat
tering vote went largely to Seymour and
accomplished his nomination. Ex-Judge
Robert Woodruff of Mercer, temporary
chairman of tho convention, made fecllne
referenco to President McKlnlcy nnd when
he finished speaking the band played
"Nearer, My God, to Thee." The vast bb
uemblage arose and sang the words of the
bymn.
Me, Freely I'Haaeil.
The first real tumult of the convention
broko out when both of the chnlrmen of
contesting delegations from Es'iex county
tried to name tho county's representatives
on the several committees. After the con
ventlon had been In an uproar for somo
tlmo nud tho lie had been freoly passed
Chairman Woodruff pormlttcd E. W. Crane,
tho democratic candidate of throo years
ago for governor, and nn nntUSoymourlte,
to name tho Essex representatives on Kio
committee on credentials and order of busi
ness. .Finally n recess was declared and
It was nearly 4 o'clock when the convention
was called to order after the recess.
Tho resolutions wore confined to state
Issues and embraced a general condemna
tlon of tho republicans In tho conduct of
state affairs.
The following nominations ror governor
were then made: Ex-Congressman Thomas
M, Ferrell of Glosboro, Mayor James M
Seymour of Newark, ox-Judge Howard Car
row of Camben, Senator Christian L'raun o
Passaic nnd James E. Martins of Union,
When the first ballot wat tnken it stood
Seymour 488, Ferrell 480, Braun 01, Carrow
6S, Martins 22; neceosary to n choice, 674.
On tho second ballot Seymour gained
fifty-six votes, most of which came through
his getting the vote of Morris and War
ren counties. Ferrell lost only eleven
votes, but Seymour was within thirty-three
votes of tho nomination nnd then began a
stampede, When tho vote was finally an
nounccd It stood 779 for Seymour, with tho
remaining for Ferrell. The convention
ended as good naturally as It was stormy
through tho early part of tho proceedings

glad to give Postum Food Coffee n trial
nnd when we understood that by long boll
Ing It would bring out the delicious flavor,
we have been highly pleased with It,
"It Is one of the flnost things for nursing
mothers that I have ever seen, It keeps
up the mother's strength and Increases tho
supply of nourishment for the child If par
taken of freely. 1 drank It hotween meals
Instead of water nnd found It most bene
ficial. "Our five year old boy has been very doll
cate since birth and has developed slowly.
He was white and bloodless. I began to
give him Postum freely and you would be
surprised at the change. When any per
son remarks about tho great improvement,
we never fall to tell them that we attrlbuto
his gain In strength and general health, to
the; freo uso of Postum Food Coffee, and
this has led many friends to use It for
themselves nnd children.
"I have always cautioned friends to whom
I have spoken about Postum, to follow di
rections In making It, for unless It Is boiled
fifteen or twenty minutes, It Is quite taste
less. On the other hand, when pro.terly
made, It Is very delicious, I want to thank

W1LLEMSTAD. Island of Curncoa, Oct. 1.
(Via Itnytlau Cnble.) Advices received
hero by runll from Mnracalbo under dale of
September 2S eny Venczueln U protecting
tho Gunjlra frontier by reinforcements. An
expedition composed of about 1,500 recruits
from Ln Vela de Coro, ou tho gulf of Coro
and Merlda, with Vlccnto Sanchez In com
mand, left here today for some point near
Gunjlra, when they will probably move In
land toward the frontier.
Tho foregoing covers the facta In tlu
case. Numberless rumor nro being In
dustriously clrculattd, but n careful weigh
ing of all Information from vnrlouii source
lends to tho belief that the forces of Dnvlla
after their defeat, September H, wandered
to tho mouutalus pursued by Indians nnd
Colombians. Eventually Dnvlla. with live
companions, eucceeded In reaching Fort San
Carlos, thirty miles north of Mnracalbo, n
Veneuolnti huso and political prison,
whence ho naked that reinforcements bo
sent to rcscuo his command, reported to
bo ln distress and danger from tho Indians
Inhabiting Gunjlra, who under the leader
ship of their cuclqune, Juan Dolores, nre
fighting un the side of tho Colombian gov
ernment. Clodomlr and Juno Cnstlllo, tho
Colombian llbornl lenders, appear to be nt
Trlrntn on the ColomhUn etde of Gunjlra
with followers estimated to number from
600 to 2.000 mon, It is reported, nlthough
without reason, thnt tho forco under Dnvlln's
command if rescued from their predlcamont
and tho Sanchez expedition will attempt to
unite or co-operate In n movement against
11 Hacha. It Is more conservatively thought
that Venezuela will not assumo tho ng
gresdlve. Purees Confused,
Both the Venezuelan and tho Colombian
governments show a tendeucy to play at
tho head of their forces tho revolutionary
leaders of the other country In order to give
n color of political revolution to the differ
ences between their respective troops. For
example, Venezuelan troops under tho lend
orshlp of n Colombian liberal nro appearing
against the Colombian government forces
and tho movement will bo qunllfled n nn
lntcrnnl nnd not ns an International dis
turbance. This greatly confuses the sit
uation. Tho Venezuelan disaster September 14 Is
fully confirmed. Few prisoners were tnken.
Tho retreating Venezuelans were caught on
both aides of a river, with tho bridge
broken, and tho Colombians overwhelmed
them from three sides, scattering the
Vcnczuclwui, who wero nmhiished by the
Indians.
Letters received from Tachlra nre to tho
effect thnt Oenorn) Urlbe-ltrlbo Is collect

way, hut no action of Importance Is being
tnken by blm. A credltnble report received
hero Is to the effect that 1,200 Colombian
conservative- troops are nt s hamlet cnllcd
Slnlmlcn, about threo days' march from
Marncalbo.
The Colombians may attempt to prevent
the union or concerted ai'tlon between thu

WASHINGTON. Oct. l.-The following

BOGOTA. Oct. 1. -Colombian Minister,

victory over Venezuela troop thnt In
Milled (JnnJIni, under Venezuelan olll
cers and under the Venezuelan (lug. with
out u previous declaration of wnr. Signed
AHADIA MKNDHZ,
Minister of Foreign AfTnlrs"
Somo uncertainty exists In the minds of
tho officers of the legation ns to whether
this victory over tho Venozuelnns Is Identi
cal with thnt heretofore reported by wny of
Curucao ln tho press dispatches or Is the re
sult of another fight. Dr. Sylvn, the minis
ter, Is Inclined to the former opinion. Somo
utress is laid on the statement thnt this
Invnslon wnn without a previous dcclani
tlon of war on Venezuela's part. This. Dr.
Sylva says, shows the Irresponsibility of
the course tho latter country has taken. Dr.
Mcndez, who signs the dispatch, is tho new
mlnlslcr of foreign nflairs, whose appoint
ment followed the Colombian cabinet crisis
reported trom Bogota yesterdny.
A leaflet sent to the legation by the Co
lomblan consul nt Cnracao gives some de
tails of tho recent fight at Cnracua, about
fifteen miles from La Hachii, on the GuaJIra
pcnlnsuln, nnd which probably Is Identical
with that referred to by Minister Mendez
In his dispatch to Dr. Sylvn toduy. It shows
thnt the victory over tho enemy was com
plete, tho Colombians taking four batteries
of. nrtlllcry, gatllng guns and a consider
ablo amount of ammunition. General Eche
verrla, who led a portion of tho expedition,
the report states, wns killed, contrary to
previous advices, which said that ho had

Our Piano Parlors Are Full of tha
Very Finest Up-to-date Styles
of Artistic Instruments From
the Oldest and Most Reli
able Piano Factories in
the World.
It Is a conceded fnet that this house ha
the reputation of having tho most nrtlstlo
stock of pianos to bo found anywhere in
the west.
Not only from the standpoint of tho cases,
which me patterned to nult und mutch tha
highest quality nf furniture, but tho tone
nnd uctlon work entitle them to the court
denco nnd esteem of tho most exacting lover
of music.
NOWHERE 18 SUCH A VARIETY OF
NATURAL AND FANCY WOODS DIS
PLAYED. For Instance, the Mahogany used In tho
Ktmbo pianos Is of the most excellent
quality. It has the genulno grain ami shad
ing of tho San Domingo product, without
stHln or brush woik. The pure varnish
used by this notable concern brings out tho
natural wood us perfect im n picture
Then again the artistic "Kranlch & Hach"
la n piano of the highest standard of excel
lence. Tho genuine nnd fancy veneers used
by this factory nre uiarxcls of nature .4
creation; the designs nnd lunuty of their
cases are unsurpassed. They nro jtmtly
termed tho wizards of ;ho piano ' trade.
Their fancy Hlrch and Butternut vencern
nre a wonder and n novelty and must bu
seen to be npproclnteil.
Tho action of tho "Kranlch & Bach" Is a
delight to those who love an elastic touch,
that needs no adjusting. Every Rcrow
used ln the action Is reinforced by a spiral
spring washer, preventing the parts of tho
action getting loose ami making tho un
pleasant noises so frequently found In other
pianos. This Is attested by plnno manufac
turers, tumrn nnd others who hnve made
the interior of pianos n study.-
The celebitited Kimball piano, which we
have represonled In Omaha for nearly
twenty-eight years, Is the piano we havo
sold moro of thnn any other piano hold In
tho west.
Wo have on our floors n Klmhnll twenty
eight yearn old. When they tell you a
"Klmbnll" will not wem-, come and sen
this one. It has educated a large family
nnd Is good for several more. The Klmbnll
Company have mndo over S2.000 planoi
since this one wns made and today this old
one will give better satisfaction than many
