VAX HOESEV. of Manhattan. While a packed gallery howled the name of Coler and hooted the name of Shepard. the Democratic City Convention last night chose m Its candidate for Mayor Edward M. Shepard, of Brooklyn. It was a remarkable demonstra tion. The delegates to the convention with ma ehinelike precision voted for Shepard. The gal leries were black with a throbbing, howling. hooting, shouting mob. The Fide aisles and rear of the hall were jammed with a vociferous, up roarious throng of shouters. There was only one name on the lips of the people in the gal lery. In the side aisles and In the rear of the lulL That name was Color. They howled his . name until even the playing of a brass bond. the banging of the chairman's gavel, the sten torian voice of the clerk of the convention and the protest of hundreds of delegates were drowned. The machine was in the saddle, how aver, and never for a moment was there any ; danger of a stampede. The convention pro ceeded with its work deliberately, despite the uproar, and nominated the above ticket. ! It was evident early in the evening that Coler • voulci be heard of In the course of the conven tion. E?fore the gathering was called to order ' * brass band played blatantly, but cries for Coler were heard from time to time. James J. Martin opened the convention, and named ' George B. McClellan as temporary chairman end he was elected permanent chairman. As coon as he began his address he was interrupted fey cries of "Coler!" "What is the matter with . Coif r? ' "He is all right!" and so on. THE CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH. *i He managed to struggle through his speech, " fchich was in part as follows: , . .

The Democracy of this mighty metropolis, conscious of duty well performed, submits its case to the people upon its ••cord of promises fulfilled and pledges kept. We have been told that our opponents propose to make this campaign non-partisan. Try as they Bay they cannot conceal the truth. The campaign upon which we are about to nter is partisan and political. You cannot divorce partisanship from muricipal government any more than you can di vorce it from government in State or nation, we do not conceal our convictions. We are proud that we are Democrats who have never swerved in loy alty to the principles of our party nor in enthusi astic support of our party's candidates. This city has had one experience of so-called re form, one experience, long, long to be remembered. Three years of Republican misgovernment, m;!.> querading under the name of non-partisanship, will scarcely tempt the people to repeat the experi- HeiU.

With neither friction nor incon venience to the public the work of welding diver- Bent interests Into or.c harmonious and stable gov- II — r « i rt hag been accomplished. The usual committees upon resolutions and organization were appointed. The following reso lution relative to the assassination of' President MrKir.iey was adopted: . Whereas. William McKlnley. the twenty-fifth President of the United State*, was cruelly aseas finated and the whole nation is shrouded in mourn "teg: for Its universal and appalling lose; therefor* be it Resolved.

Its profound grief at the benumbing calamity that has befallen our country and itf respectful and sincere sympathy with th» bereaved family of the illustrious dead. • After an adjournment of fifteen minutes the convention reconvened and the platform was read by John W. Keller. >;...; THE UPROAR BREAKS OUT. The convention then proceeded to the nomina tion of candidates, and it was here that the up roar broke out. Martin W. Littleton, of Kings. Placed Edward M Shepard in nomination. In the course of his speech he was howled down •¦everal times by the cries for Coler and the cries against Shepard. He persisted to the end, however, although much harassed. When he •••ad up with the name of Shepard there was * burst of applause from the delegates. It was 'trained and forced, however, and even the aid °f the band could not keep up the enthusiasm for a longer period than twenty-eight seconds. Th* Shepard shouters were driven out by the Coler howlers. Mr. Littleton said in part: In Power in the nation and State, the Republi can* now propose to enter the city in tin- wooden «org.» of reform.

The cheers for Shepard. as cited above, lasted only twenty-eight seconds, and then the Coler men had an Inning. A CHANCE FOR THE COLER MEN. Thomas C. O'Sullivan, in seconding the nomi nation, had a much harder time than Littleton had. O'Sullivan mentioned the Ramapo job. and asserted that Democratic vigilance fore stalled it. "Who did it? C-o-l-e-r!" howled a stentorian voice in the gallery, and then the shouters were at it again. The roll was called for a vote upon Mr. Shepard. During the entire rollcall the din was deafening. The shouting seemed to be evenly divided between howls for Coler and protests against Shepard. Croker. grim and silent, sat like a statue, looking neither to the "right nor the left. John L. Shea, Color's intimate friend in Kings, smiled joyfully. Carroll looked blank. Timothy D. Sulivan chuckled and shook his head as the din kept up. The shouters carried the officers of the con vention off their feet. Thomas F. Smith, who was calling the roll, stopped in a bewildered way and sat down. Chairman McClellan looked around hopelessly and sat down, and the howl ers were in possession of the proceedings. This tickled them, and the uproar was redoubled. The band struck up. but It did not make a bit of difference. The howling went on. Senator Plunkitt pushed his way to the platform, trem bling with excitement. He shouted, "Keep on reading, Smith' Get up there. George, and put her through!" McClellan recovered and pounded his gavel. Smith began to read names. It was impossible to hear what he said, but he per sisted with the reading. The uproar kept up. with Smith going through the form of reading the names until the name of Oscar Steihl. of the XXth District of Kings County was reached. Steihl is a big man, with a big voice. When he heard hi? name he sprang to his feet and howled. "Coler! You can't scare me: Coler!" He pounded his ch*st and yelled "Coler!" This pleased the howlers, and th -> took on new strength. Smith passed rapidly on to the end of the list, and Steihl was hauled down. Amid the din, McClellan pounded his gavel and declared Shepard to be the unanimous choice of the convention. There was a little brief cheering from the delegates, and then the convention proceeded to nominate th» other can didates. W. \V. Ladd. Jr.. was named for Controller, »<* cording to programme. George M. Van Hoesen was nominated for president of the Board of Aldermen, also ac cording to programme. CALLED A WEAK TICKET. The howling and hooting kept up until the end. After the convention neither Richard Croker nor any of the leaders would talk. Many of them went out of the convention shaking their heads. One leader said: "It isn't so much the turning down of Coler; that can be fixed, but it is Shepard. There is no doubt that he is personally unpopular with the rank and file of Tammany, as shown by to-night's convention. It is going to be mighty hard to get majorities for him in the various districts. It Is a weak ticket " This seemed to be the general opinion of the leaders. While all intend to work, they think they have had foisted upon them a ticket they cannot apologize for or arouse enthusiasm for. Many expressed fears for the election, and it was a far from cheerful and enthusiastic gath ering at last night's city convention, although machine rule triumphed and the nomination was effected. ' "STAA TS-ZEITUNG " FOR LOW. In an editorial this morning, the leading Ger man newspaper in this city, the "New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung." announces in positive terms its support of Beth Low and its antagonism to Shep ard. as follows: Tammany has seen the necessity of nominat ing -, man of unblemished reputation and him ™ftjle character.

NEW- YORK. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1901. -FOURTEEN PAGES-^ T ,. ( a t i,, THK COLUMBIA RUNNING FROM UNDER THE LEE OF THE SHAMROCK 11. (From drawing by Fred. S. Cozzons.) SHEPARD A WET BLANKET ARDOR OF TAMMANY LEADERS GREAT LY DAMPENED BY THE ANNOUNCE MENT OF THE TKKKT. When the news reached the rank and file of Tammany yesterday that Edward M. Shepard would be nominated for Mayor, there was an ominous silence. Had some one poured a pitcher of Ice water down Tammany's back, the con gestive chill that ran through the organization upon learning of the choice of Shepanl could not have been more violent. Schooled in an or ganization where orders from above are obeyed without a murmur, the Tammany men paid noth ing, but they were plainly dissatisfied. lone of them remarked grimly. "Well, the convention hasn't beon held yet." That Indicated that they were hoping against hope that something might be done to break the slate. The district leaders were- not consulted In thla nomination. It wai evidently the work of Kings County, with Crokcr's aid. The Tammany lean er* were not members of the conference which decided upon Shepard. Croker left the whole thing to Kings County to select a candidate for Mayor, and guaranteed to support whomsoever Kings named. Colei alone excepted. Shepard was the choice of King?. Even Croker is said to be much dissatisfied with the situation, bat seen no help for It. It was agreed that Kings was to have the honor of naming the head of the ticket, and Kings made the most of it. An effort to get expressions of opinion from the Tammany leaders was not fruitful. The leaders, almost without exception, declined to say anything, or else gave perfunctory approval to the ticket. "Tim" Sullivan tried to make things cheerful. "Shepard is all right." he said. "He gave It to us rodhot once, but he has seen four years of Tammany rale, and Is converged." Mr. Bhapard was in consultation with the lead ers in Kings County yesterday, and It was said they were at work on a county and borough ticket. The regulars, it is said, will not have much of a showing on these tickets, and Mr. Shepard will be allowed to select the majority of the candidates. A determined effort will be made to get Bird S. Coler to take the nomination for president of the borough. Mr. Color has flat ly refused to allow his name to be mentioned for any place below the mayoralty. The Kings County leaders, however, think that he can he persuaded to take the borough presidency. They think t hi? will greatly strengthen the whole ticket. It was said yesterday that the decision to nominate Shepard had awakened no enthusiasm in Brooklyn. The leaders there, like the leaders in Manhattan, made perfunctory protestations of allegiance and professed admiration for the ticket, 'but It was evident that they were dis heartened John E. Pardons, one of Mr Shepard's law partners, will not support him. He said yes terday: "I do not think that it is suitable for me to express any opinion about the candidates or about the situation 60 far as relates to its per sonal bearing. My wish from the beginning has been that Mr. Low should be the united anti- Tammany candidate. I think that it was due to him that ho should receive the nomination by reason of the circumstances connected with the campaign of 1597. Aside from and beyond that, I think that Mr. Low was then, and that he Is now, the logical and most capable candi date to head a reform movement. It would be inconsistent with all my past and present posi tion and professions if I did not earnestly hope that Mr. Low and the, movement for which his name conspicuously stands should succeed. I am committed to dp all that I can in my humble way to bring about that result." A man prominently identified with the Greater New-York Democracy, who is a politician of vast experience, said that the stand taken by Tam many showed decisively that Mr. Croker did not care about the city ticket, and had given up all hope of electing a Tammany Mayor. He added that tho plan of the Tammany people, as shown by their action, was to do their best to secure the election of the president of the borough ami all other officers of what was formerly the city and county of New-York. In this way, by let ting the candidates for city offices shift for them selves, or by trading and knifing, in order to bring about the- election of the ticket from presi dent of the borough down, Croker still thought he had a chance to retain the patronage.- The suggestion that this was the true Inward ness of the Croker figuring was made to several men who are said to "be close to Croker. and they refused to talk about It so vigorously as to give the impression that there might be some thing in it. Mr. Croker was asked about the suggestion, and he plied: "Nonsense!" ; "TO WASHINGTON IN FIVE HOURS" - : . From New York. Royal Blue five hour trains leave foot of Liberty Street 11:30 A. M.. 1:00 P.

LEE RAILS OF BOTH YACHTS A WASH OX THE JOURNEY HOME— DEFENDER A HUNDRED YARDS AHEAD. Up the wind and down the wind the Colum bia chased or led the English boat all day. and as relentlessly as the Indian hunter runs the red deer to a standstill. There was no question of want of wind, or lack of a clear course, or the disadvantages of a bad start, or the detri ments of the long range blanket. Barr simply gave Sycamore a good long start and then went out and knocked the head off him. Except in the first twenty minutes, when the Shamrock may have been holding her own, she was never the leading boat at any time. In this first part of the broad reaching to the windward mark the benefit of the doubt can he given to her. wh*n the contrary, perhaps, cannot be proved, and it *»!• only toward th- last three miles of (he first leg that the Columbia could be seen to pick up on the bronze craft In front. But In all the rest of the time the situation "was not open to doubt, for the timing at the first and second and third marks told the story better than the eye Interpreted it. The Watson design had lost twenty-two sec onds at the first mark, and thirty seconds further at the second mark, while on the wind ward work of the third leg the Columbia gained an additional two minutes. This record of continuous loss was partly due to the fact that in the first two broad reaches, which ex tended for twenty miles, with the wind on both legs two and a half points abaft abeam. Syca more did not set as much sail as Barr. The Columbia carried her No. 2 Jibtopsall, and the Shamrock carried an intermediate sail of a size between her No. 2 and the baby. This did not extend ns far down the stay by eight or ten feet as that on the Columbia, which was really a large sail and did splendid lifting work for her throughout the whole twenty miles. It also helped materially to steer the active Co lumbia, which frequently took the bit In her teeth like an untrained mustang and bolted In spite of all Barr could do to keep h<»r down to her right course. It was an old story for the racing for the Cup that the English boat did not crack on enough sail when «h»> got the chance in a fair and driving wind. and the only explanation that seems possible is that Sycamoro was afraid of his mast. The splendid showing of the Columbia won the unconcealed admiration of the English con tingent. Before her magnificent performance questions of nationality waned, weakened and fell down, and from the English there was noth ing but congratulation that such a superb craft existed, even though sh« was American. THE SHAMROCK GETS BEST OF START. Soon after 10 o'clock the Columbia arrived at the Sandy Hook Lightship and began hoisting her mainsail. The Shamrock was' close behind her. In tow. with all sails down The wind was then north-northwest, blowing about eight miles, having decreased considerably. The Shamrock remained in tow of her tug while she hoisted her mainsail, being pulled slowly to windward all the time. The Columbia was 'sending up her clubtopsail at 10:10, and shortly afterward both yachts got under way The Shamrock let go her tug and broke out her jib with her clubtopsail set at 10:23. As she paid off . easterly she broke out her working topsail, and lav over al most to her rail as she gained way. The committee then sent up signals that the thirty-mile course would be triangular, giving the boats two broad reaches on the first two legs arid a beat to windward !on the last leg. .When the preliminary gun was fired, at 10:45, the Columbia was coming down toward the line before the wind, and the Shamrock was lying hove to to the windward of the Navigator. When the 10:.")."> gun was fired they were both passing eastward along the lee side of the line. The challenger then began pinching out to the wind ward, and the Columbia came up in the wind as if to stay, but. held along the same tack and to windward of the Shamrock. The challenger then paid off to get more way on; the Columbia followed. Instead of gybing, the Shamrock came In stayc at 10:58. and lapped up the length of her bowsprit on the weather side of the Columbia's boom. There was less than a minute and a half now to go before the' gun. and the Columbia paid away to the windward end of the Navigator, leaving lots of room for the Shamrock to make her turn around the Navigator's bow. The Shamrock then came around, and was close to the line when the gun was fired, when she made Beautiful West- Point.

The i Columbia stood on to the eastward nearly one minute after the gun, when she went in stays, broke out her jibtopsail and then took the line ; at 11:01:47. She crossed the line before the | handicap sun. and both boats were now safely I started on their east, half south course. The j Columbia carried her boom very flat, and was ; lying down to her deck*. The Shamrock stood up stiffer, hut was going at a Rood pace. The official time of starting was as follows: The Shamrock, 11:00:1.1; the Columbia. 11:01:47. In point of distance there was fully two hun dred yards between the boats as the Columbia went away. The Columbia thus had 1 minute and ?A seconds to bo credited to her in the cal culation at the flni3h of the race. She also had §-'V 4 seconds to h« credited to her in the cal tlon at the finish of the race. She also bad 43 seconds time allowance, which meant that the Shamrock had to give her in all 2 minutes and 17 seconds before she could win. As the boats ran out to the first mark they were getting the wind heavier than at the start, and at times both were laid out pretty flat. At 11:09 the Columbia got it so hard that she had to luff out. The harder winds came in streaks, and they got It alternately. The Shamrock steered the better of the two. and kept her course direct for the first mark. When the puffs hit the Columbia she was making a very weatherly * Columbia she drove her up in spite of the se, as they drove her up in spite of the wheel. At 11:12 they were not lying the same j course, and the Columbia evidently refused to ; go in the right direction. Ban- here started her j main sh^et. and after that she lay her proper j course. Two minutes later the Shamrock got it very hard, and she lay over further than she has ever been seen except in the squall of Sep- i tember 12. The American bout was travelling in a smother of foam, and at 11:1$ very little could be seen of the hull of either boat. The white water seemed to cover them all up. SHAMROCK THE FIRST AT THE MARK. The Shamrock came to the mark at 11:31:10 . and gybed around slowly, taking course •.••••'th- ¦ wt-st. half south, for the second leg. The Colum- ' bia came to the mark over a minute later, and made a quirk turn, taking her course after the Shamrock and carrying the same sail as In the previous leg. The official timing of the yachts was: The Shamrock. 11:51:10; the Columbia. 11:52:22. The gain of the Columbia on the first leg was 22 sec onds. This gain seemed to be altogether in the last three miles of the run to the first mark. THE COLUMBIA BEGINS TO GAIN. As the boats came down past th» Lucken bach on the second leg they both seemed to have about as much wind as they could com- ; fortably travel under. After the boats got well ; started on their second leg the Columbia was slowly closing the distance between her and the challenger, and a few minutes later was seen to be pulling out to the windward of her. A good ? deal seemed' to depend on the way each boat got the wind, as on this first rush the Columbia '¦ did better than the L.ipton boat. The same kind of sailing continued until 12:32. when there came a marked Increase of wind to both boats. In the last twenty-five min utes it could not be seen that there was any change in the relative positions of the boats, and in this extra puff the Shamrock seemed to less or slack up her jibtopsail sheet, but they got, the sail down to work again and the run con- \ tinued, the Shamrock seeming to be benefited by this increased wind, and for the first time since the turn she was slightly widening the gap. At 12:41:30 o'clock the Shamrock was ap proaching the mark, which had been in sight for quite a while. She then lowered her jibtopsail to prepare for the windward work of the third leg. They had now been out about an hour and forty minutes, and were in the last of the twentieth mile. The wind had now gone to twelve or fourteen knots, and in the puffs it looked like fifteen or more. At 12:4.'! o'clock the Columbia took in her jibtopsail, and at 12:43:30 o'clock the Shamrock passed to the leeward of the second mark, and was close hauled on the starboard tack for the beat home. . The Co lumbia came into the same spot to the leeward of the mark one minute later and made a quick turn, going in stays at the mark and coming out seaward on the port tack. As she I came in stays the Shamrock followed # her out in j the same direction. 1 ;,\ ; '- The official time of the turn on. the second mark was:* Shamrock. 12:45:."7; Columbia, 12:4«>:39,. showing the difference between th.

A second line was made fast to the Amer ica's Cup yesterday, to hold her to the shorn of her adopted country. If one mare can be fastened the Cup will be secure for another year, or till Sir Thomas Upton or somebody else feels like getting his strength together for another attempt at a •lift" at the heavy trophy. The fourth trial of speed and the second race between the Columbia and the Shamrock took place off Sandy Hook yesterday and resulted in another victory by jbl. narrow margin for th-» Columbia. It was a glorious race. There- was a fine, brisk breeze, in spite of which the sea was remarkably smooth, a blessing for the spectators. Both yachts evidently did their best. There was no accident, there was no disagree ment, no cause of complaint of any sort, every j thing ran smooth as oil. and the relative merit* ; of the two boats were tested better than they have ever been before, and better, it is more | than likely, than they will ever be again. The Columbia beat the Shamrock by 3 minutes rv» 1 seconds (corrected time) over a thirty-mile course. . The race was not quite so close as the ; phenomenal one of last Saturday, but in other 1 respects it was a better race, and those of the spectators who will ever see a finer one will be "lucky. The wind was what the Englishmen have been declaring all along that they wanted. For that i matter it was what the Americans wanted, too. There was no drifting; the yachts ploughed j along like steamboats, and. indeed, some of the j steamboats which had taken passengers down to watch had all they wanted to do to keep up t and to get good positions. The yachts flew | around the triangular course as they have sel ; dom done before, and the race was over and i won at an hour when it has been the custom for ! the anxious watchers to be consulting their ¦ watches and calculating- whether there was any hope of a race. The yachts were off promptly, the Shamrock in the lead. The Columbia < gained steadily for every minute of the race. ; She crossed the line two minutes and fifty-two seconds ahead of the challenger; her time allow ance did the rest. In three hours and a quarter from the start it was all over. That is the story of the day. .' AN IDEAL. DAT. Was there ever a finer day for a yacht rac<* since Hendrlk Hudson discovered Sandy Hook? Could there be a finer one? It is not easy to si*** how. and not many suggestions to that »nd were heard. Somebody sitting on the unpro tected deck of a steamer said that it was chilly, but it had to be with the wind that was Mow ing, and without the wind the raring day would have been worse Instead of better. It wai» threatening in the morning. Till about 8 o'clock there ir»r» heavy clouds all over the sky. It had been raining in the night and everybody feared that it would rain more. There would *• a good wind, probably, and consequently a |BMI race, but looking on at it would not to pleasant. Then the- bright early morning sky began •» show its color through the parting clouds, aart before it was time for the excursion fleet to start down the bay the heavens were bine and clear. The wind still held, and the morning mists melt ed away and left the horizon open to the view, with the promise of a choice sailing day and a chance for everybody to see the sailing, So down the little and big boats went streaming across The upper bay and through the Narrows and out over the lower bay. and together again about the lightship, and. as they approached. th? people who crowded their decks made out again ahead of them the tower of snowy canvas which they had learned to know as the Colombia, and the tower of creamy canvas which they recog nixed as the Shamrock. On the way down the bay there is always a great longing manifested for the English boat to win. If only the Shamrock could nave on race, it would make the races so much mare In teresting, and then it would be good tar Sir Thomas, whom everybody loves 30 muea. to win a race or two. The hearts of the crowd overflow with solicitous affection for everything that is English, and a disinterested bystander would think that the only blight on an otherwise joy ous occasion was the probability of the Colum bia's winning against the unanimous Mof her countrymen. But this sort of talk is not heard after the race begins. Away from a fight the Anglo- Saxon may be very calm and impartial and gen erous, but in a fight his heart hardens. A fight is a fight, and a fight is a glorious thing, and an Anglo-Saxon does not go Into a fight with any puling and sickly sentiment in favor of his rival's winning. While the right is on the rival is the enemy, and the shouts of the Americans are all for the American boat and their sympa thy is all for their own. and their anxiety is all that the English boat may prove too fast for her; and when she docs not prove too fast for her, 7 R;it«« U. on rail River Line Steamer Plymouth lor Yacht Race*.
