Giving Shamrock III an allowance of
1 minute, 57 seconds, according to the
measurement, acknowledged to be in-
correct. Reliance defeated Shamrock 7
minutes, 3 seconds.
The net result of the race shows that
barring the fluke Shamrock III had
held her own in the windward work and
had been beaten more than 5 1-2 min-
utes to leeward. It is expected that
the next race will be sailed on Tues-
day.

THE FRENCH FLEET,
Ten Vessols Will Bail to Join the Rus-

By Associnted Press.
Paris. Aug. 22—A dispatch to the
Patrie from Marseilles says that owing
to the grave conditions in Turkey a
division of the French Mediterranean
squadron has been ordered to sail next
week. The division numbers ten ships.
The flagship is the battleship Brennus.
The Patrie’s report appears to have
arisen in connection with the recent
exchange of notes between the powers
on the suggested joint naval demon-
stration but it was only announced
yesterday.
The gravity of the situation had been
relieved by Turkey’s yielding to Rus-
sia’s demands and the report that the
Russian squadron would be withdrawn,
thus making unncessary co-operation
of the French and other squadrons.

San Antonio, Aug. 22.—J. P. Lovelady
of this city, by burning sulphur, oil and
rags, has effectively ridden theMulzin-
ski field, near this place, of the boll
weevil.
An ordinary road scraper was used
to hold the smoking material, a cover
being put on it and holes made in the
sides for the smoke to pass through.
This was hitched to a horse and
dragged over the ground between every
other row.
The sulphur fumes mingled thor-
oughly with the cotton, and not only
were the weevils killed in countless
numbers, but all other Insects as well.
No signs of the weevils have been
seen on the field since the first treat-
ment two days ago.
So far the fumes do not seem to have
affected the worm in the Interior of
the boll, but a suggestion on this point
is that frequent smoking eight or ten
days apart will kill the young weevil
on its first appearance.
The best results are obtained by
smoking late in the evening, at night
or early in the morning. The method
will be tried on another field tomor-
row.
Mr. Lovelady has notified the state
boll weevil commission that he claims
the $50,000 premium offered for a sure
boll weevil remedy.
Included in these are Major A. C. —1 •

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

a slight shift of wind the Reliance
steadily increased it* short lead in
the windward work until It was three-
quarters of a mile ahead. As Reliance
rounded the outer mayk whistles,
screams, bands and voices of the un-
numbered thousands on the excursion
fleet* swelled into a vast chorus.
Turning for home the spinnaker
boom poised along the mast like a
lance at rest, fell to port and the big
sail burst out like a cloud, while at the
same moment the enormous balloon jib
topsail belched forward. The smart
work of the Yankee* was cheered by
the big crowd, but a moment after-
ward there was dismay when the spin-
naker pole parted or was carried away.
But the spar was soon hauled back
into place, and then, with its three
balloon sails set like plaster, the state-
ly yacht sped homeward before the
wind like a scared deer.
Shamrock’s Bad Luck.
In setting the balloon Jib the Sham-
rock encountered another piece of bad
luck. One of the stops would not break
out and the sail hung for several min-
utes like a wet rag on the stays. When
both had been squared away for home
it was seen that Reliance was making a
runaway race of it. With the crew
aft to keep its head up, Reliance skim-
med along the surface of the water
like a gull with outspread pinions,
leaving Shamrock farther and farther
astern. The pace was so fast that
many of the tugs and not a few of
the steam yachts were left behind.
The scene at the finish was stirring.
Under its towering cloud of canvas,
rolling in the swell, Reliance bounded
across the viewless finish line like a
queen. The excursion boats awaited
the result and with a terrific din they
let loose. Then the immense concourse
of vessels awaited until Shamrock, ma-
jestic even in defeat, swept* by between
the stake boats. The reception it re-
ceived was, if anything, more hearty
than that accorded to Reliance.
of fleckled blue. A long ocean swell
heaved up from the south and a twelve
knot breeze, fresh and strengthening,
blew out from the southwest, throw-
ing up fleecy whitecaps. The marine
picture was superb.
The. size of the excursion fleet and
the number of sightseers aboard, in
the estimation of those who have wit-
nessed many contests, made a record
for an international cup race.
As the direction of the wind would
have carried a windward course from
Randy Hook lightship into the Jersey
shore, the committee was obliged to
set the mark seven miles further out.
This made the start about three-quar-
ters of an hour late. The course car-
ried the yachts directly Into the eye

Constantinople, Aug. 21.—(Friday).—
The Insurrection in the vilayet of Ad-

hood of Inlada, off which place the
Russian squadron is anchored, and
urgent demands have been sent to
Adrianople for reinforcement*.

Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 22.—The
board of arbitration appointed to set-
tle certain matters in controversy be-
tween certain coal operator* and coal
miners in the Birmingham district
make to the respective parties in said
controversy the following report and
awards:
Th* claim* of the miner* coming
within the scope of the arbitration
were decided to be:
First—That there should be an In-
crease of 5 cents per ton on the mini-
mum and maximum of the then ex-
isting sliding scale with a propor-
tionate increase to day men.
Second—An eight hour day.
Third—A semi monthly payment of
wages and earnings.
The claims of the operator* decided
to be within the scope of the arbi-
tration were:
First—A readjustment of rates for
narrow work.
Second—An adjustment of the dif-
ferential between machine and pick
work.
Third—The establishment of a min-
imum number of days per month in
which a miner shall be required to
work.
Fourth—A readjustment of day
wages.

Honors of the Start.
The honors of the start, as on
Thursday, were captured by the Amer-
ican skipper. Captain Wringe timed
his approach to the line with the
Shamrock badly. Barr as usual went
over in the windward berth four sec-
onds behind his rival. Both were close
hauled on the starboard tack. It was
a magnificent sight as they plunged
seaward in the twelve knot breeze,
pounding fountains of spray from their
bows and leaning to it until the water
swirled and bubbled along their lee
rails. The crews were piled up along
the weather side of the yachts to hold
the great racing machines up.
Both were footing like mad. They
showed yards of their underides and
shipped a good deal of spray and some
solid water forward. But after fifteen
minutes of soiling their positions had
not varied perceptibly, and there was
alarm among the experts. Shamrock
hung on with bull dog tenacity and
tack after tack It seemed to be holding
its own.

London, Aug. 22.—The result of the
yacht race was a distinct disappoint-

hopes, dashed by Thursday’s failure,
rose again during the first half of to-

around the tickers and bulletin boards

showed that Reliance was pulling away
from the challenger, the gathering dis-

Sandy Hook, Aug. 22.—The Erin
steamed into her haven at Sandy Hook
after the race with the American flag
flying at the mainmast and another at
her bow, a tribute to the winner. Sir
Thomas Lipton said with a smile to
the Associated Press correspondent:
“We were beaten fairly and squarely.
It was splendid weather and Shamrock
did not do as well as I had expected it
would in the race to windward and re-
turn. I appreciate the splendid'man-
ner in which my boat was handled. Re-
liance is a wonderful yacht.- My con-
fidence in Shamrock, however, is not
shaken, and I hope it will yet make ft
much better showing.”
Captain Barr said:
"My boat did just what I expected,
but it can do even better. I think.

New York, Aug. 22.—In a splendid
A twelve to fifteen knot breeze over a
■ windward and leeward course of thirty
|J miles, Reliance, today defeated Sham-
il rock III in commanding style by ex-
V actly nine minutes, actual time, or
I seven minutes and three seconds after
I deducting the one minute and fifty-
I seven seconds which the defender con-
I ceded to Sir Thomas Lipton's third
I challenger on account of its larger sail
I area as at present measured.
I It was a royal water fight for the
I ancient trophy which carries with it
I the yachting supremacy of the world
I and by coincidence the first victory In
I the cup series of 1903 occurred on the
r fil’y-second anniversary of the day on
|| which the old schooner America cap-
I tured the cup in the race around the
I Isle of Wight.
Reliance beat the boat three minutes
I and twenty-four seconds in the thresh
I to windward and five minutes and
I thirty-six seconds on the run down the
, wind.
( The nautical sharps, who had al-
I ready made up their minds on Thurs-
I day that the Reliance could take the
I measure of the challenger in any kind
| of weather, regard today's test as con-
| elusive, although they hardly antici-
i pa ted so great a victory.
| The race even dampened the ardor
| of Sir Thomas, who insisted, after the
| race of Thursday, that his confidence
I in the beautiful craft designed byFife
I was greater than ever.
‛ Still, like a true sportsman, he does
/ not acknowledge defeat and hopes for
I better luck next time. The single
L statement he and his friends make of
I today's race is that a shift of the wind
occurred to the advantage of the de-
fender. As this shift of wind occurred
on the windward beat, even granting
that it accounted for Reliance's lead
at the turn, the time the defender
gained on tne run home was more than
। ample to have given It the race.
Shamrock a Wonderful Boat.
It must be conceded, however, that
the Shamrock showed itself a wonder-
! ful boat in beating to windward, per-
| haps the ablest craft in this respect
I ever sent across the Atlantic on a cup
hunting expedition. For twelve miles
the great yachts raced like a team of
' horses and during that portion of the
run the patriots made no attempt to
conceal their nervousness.
