Kl.silitl, July U4. The Investigation of the
Elmira Ileformatory by the special committee
appointed by Oov. Flower waa resumed this
morning at the Reformatory. Judgo Learned,
the Chairman was nol present, and In his ab
sence) Mr. Deyo acted a Chairman. A great
deal of the time to-day was taken up wrangling
over the admission of evidence. The pnxecu
tlon gave up for the t'.mo being tho effort to
provcthit persons had boon paddled and that
paddl'ng was cruel, and devoted their lime to
trying to Imprest on the commlttro that the
transfer system on which Incorrigible convicts
are taken from tho Institution to State prison
is .. bad ono and operates unjustly.. There
was an effort to prmethat certain Inmates had
Hell punished and frightened until they lied
about other Inmate, and that on the strength
of these forced confessions the other men were
punished and transferred to State prisons,
These admissions were nil In relation to the
commission of a crime which It known In the In
stitution as the January deal, and which caused
the transfer In January, 1RU:I, of more than for.
ty Inmates, many of them officers of the prison.
It has been charged ever since th.it the evidence
on which the transfers were made was not auffl
dent. The facts as explained by the officers of
the Institution who Investigated the various
cases are that each of the persons ncrused con
fetsed without the knowledge of any of
the, others, and without twin able to
converse with any of the others, and
that etch accused the same persons. As
there was no possibility of collusion In the mat
ter It was considered that tho ovldence was
more than conclusive. The officials say It Is suf
flclout reply to any charge that the transfer to
State prison was severe, that If the prisoners
wero tried and convicted of the crime of which
they were accused they could be punished by a
twenty-one-vear term in State prison.
As a presiding officer Mr. Deyo proved to be as
quick. If not quicker than Judge Learned when,
ever a dispute nrose. and he had a delightful
habit of taking the common-sense view of things.
As has been .the case at every session of the
committee, some of the witnesses told stories of
physical maltreatment and physical suffering
that didn't stand water a second under tho skilful
questioning of Dr. Austin Flint: and the wisdom
of Gov. Flower In selecting an eminent physician
for one member of the committee received added
proof. One of the most significant things brought
out In the testimony was that persons who testi
fied at the former ec-called Investigation did It
under hope of reward. What was the basis of
that hope has not come out. The witnesses who
testified before had had Interviews with the
prosecutors of the charges against tho Re
formatory. At the opening of tho session to-day, Mr.
Deyo announced the absence of Judgo Learned,
and said he had a letter from the Judge request
ing that the investigation go on without him
for the present. Concluding his announcement,
Mr. Deyo said:
" It Is understood, of course, that the commit
tee intends now to remain In session until the
complainants have finished their case. It may
be desirable to hold sessions morning, after
noon, and evening."
This would be necossary, he said, to enable the
completion of the case in time for the commit
tee to make a report to Gov. Flower before his
term of office expires.
Judge Gilbert objected to this plan, because
Mr. Coud ert couldn t be present.
"We shall Insist,' he sold, "on ample op
portunity to produce all tho witnesses that we
want to, all that can shed any light whatever on
the case. We certainly will be unable to pro.
ceed In one continuous besslou. We thought
you were going to hold only four sessions thl
. week."
"The prosecution ought tit be able to close It
esses this week." said Dr. Flint.
"It certainly cannot do that," retorted Judge
Gilbert.
"Well." said Mr. Deyo. "we shall sit Just as
long as there arecny witnesses to be examined,
and when there are no more to examine, the case
will be at nn end, and that settles It."
Mr. Ivlna remarked that the managers of the
Institution were exceedingly anxious for thoearly
finish of the Investigation fur tlic sake of the in
stitution Itself.
A boy nitined Doherty, who Is now confined In
Auburn State prison. wns tlio first witness,
called by Judge Gilbert. Dohtrty came from
Brooklyn. He was eni up In 1HU1 for
burglary. He turned nut to bo one of the
very but prisoners ever confined In the Institu
tion. He was promoted rapidly, nnd In April,
IHir.', was order,! paroled b) the Hoard of
Managers. The'iuiolc was to begin in June.
Hubert) was an officer In the military and was
agoxl one. Before Jurecnmr, UrneralSiiperiu-tendr-nt
Brockwa) iitTisrcd to purole him at
oner and pay him e-IOn month and board If he
would May Inmate officer. Doherty accepted
the place. Ho wat one of the )ouiha caught

Flu effort of Juilcs fifilHTl wastoidiow that
Iwihi-i)! return Irom parole and transfer tn
State prison were nn Justified. Doherty asserted
Hint the charge iiicdc against him was Ihe re
sult nf nplte. There was only his assertion to
Srmult, lull there were the confessions of a
oxen other pcrwins that they Iiad been com
tmnl'insln hi crime. Doherty admitted that
.superintendent Brockwny himself had Investi
gated the rhitrgo ngilnst him, but he com
plained that the invtittigntloii van not it nuffl
item erne. Dohert) ald he had never had any
pliyali-tl punlshmcn'.
Falling tn make a gn.l ise with l)hrtyln
thu Inn i..llond. Juris ritlbert branched off on
a mv ta"ik Ho wanted t know about other
laiys u li'i had li-t punished. Doherty admitted
Urn; bo had outer seen any punished, but bad
heard aUmt punli'mi'iits.
Ill.l )im veTsvannfl1"erof tho Institution
strike nu inmate)" .liked Judge Gilbert.
" Yes. r." said liu'tei'ty. "I did It myeelf."
"Did M-u oversee anybody else strike uu in
male "
" Well," said Doherty, " I'm not going to nn
awerany more uui-sttons. and that settles it. I
don' tee that It !'! dome any good."
It liok fully live- minutes to get Doherty
started talking again. The croa-cxamlutitlnn
did not bring out anything new, but on the
rt-dln-et (kiherty swore that he once heard 470,
on of tho boys n ho accused him, say:
"Nonunf the buys I accused were guilty. I
accused them liecaute Col Hatpin said Tie would
punish me if I didn't confess to being guilty
with tJioMi he named, unci I confessed."
" What Is that !' demanded Judge Gilbert and
Mr. bins at once,
Doherty repeated the statement. Nothing
ele was. brought out from Doherty. although he
wat. on the stand until afternoon. When his
examination was finished ho said:
" Well. I want the opinion of you gentlemen
abo.it whether I hnre done anything wrong or
not."
" We ran't express an opinion as to that," said
Judge Deyo kindly.
" Well, I want to know yuuroplnlon," repeated
Doherty, but he didn't get it,
He was followed on the stand by James Crum
by, Mho. like Doherty, had been a paroled officer,
and had been caught and punished for being In
"the January deal." He is not a bad looking
young man. and is well educated and very Intel
ligent. He wan sent hero li. lhXrl bv Recorder
Smyth for highway robber)'. When he took the
stand he said:
I might as well say right now that I haven't
got anything at all to say und I won't answer
any mictions."
'Well. well, why t" demanded Judge Gilbert.
"Why" said Crumby; "why, because I tea
tlflul at tho last investigation and it did me no
good. J want no more of It."
Judiro Gilbert was so tickled he could hardly
tit -at 111 until Mr. Ivins asked:
lll.l I, A., v.... ..nwtium. V
"Certainly It didn't." said Crumby, "hut I
thought it was to do me good and It didn't,
that's all." ,, .
"Did anyUxly rromlsa that it would do you
any good ' asked Mr. Ivlus.
'Nobody promlrt.d." said "nimby, "but I
don't want to talk." ,
Then ne went oil and answered tr e questions
asktd him b Jude lllllrt. The aim of all the
questions was to show that the transfer to Au
burn prison was unjustified. Crumby Is now
anlnuuitocf the Reformatory agalp.
"! )iiu know now you cune to back
here?" takett Jiuigu Gilbert.
"Sure," said Crumby, " I went to tlio agent at
Aubum and asked to be brought back."
" Were you Inuoceut of the charge on which
jouwere tranafi-rredl ' ... ...
" I waa." said Crumby, He hung his head aa
he said It.
On i'riM-exanilnatioii Crumby confessed that
be had had a trial before a court, had had a
chan, to and did confront hU accusers, and
had been found guilty. .....
"When) ou were tried for highway robbery
did you commit perjury T" asked Mr. lylns.
"I did," ald Crumby. "I committed per
jury." Mr. Deyo asked for an explanation of the
statement that former testimony had dous him
(liO uol.
"What good did you think it would do) ou?"
he asked.
, " Well. I should think that I ought to have
been pardined. that's aU.1 sakt Crumby.
, ,fur ard. in reply to Judgo Gilbert que
, I ina. Crumby denied strenuously that anyUxV
connected with lh prosecution had promised to;
help him get a parti un and ererrbody connected
with the prosecution looked relieved. Crumby
said he. had no difficulty at all in getting along,
and that In all the six years he was In the Insti
tution the only Injustlco he had suffered was the)
transfer to State prison, lie had never seen an
officer strike nn Inmate except when the Inmate
struck the officer first. lie had no complaint
whatever to make of the institution.
"Did you ask to be sent back from Auburn
simply because you wanted to have your term of
Imprisonment shortened ?" asked Dr. Flint.
'To tell you tho truth," said Crumby. "I
wanted to come back here, for I think It is a
muoh better Institution."
The next wltncii confessed that to save his
own liack he told lies, nnd sent ten or a dozen
other boys to State prison for terms varying
from five years to twenty) ears. For tho sake of
the friends of this boy, and at the cominlttee'r.
request, his name Is not printed. On cross-examination
he confessed that he had scnt eight
months In n house of refuge, that he hod been
nut eight months when ho was arrested for for-
fery. for which ho was sent to the Reformatory,
lejileaded guilty to the charge of forgery, but
to-dny he swore that tie wns not guilty.
" Every admission made by you to the court
martial that tried you for your crimes In this
Institution was a He, was It?" asked Mr. Stanch-
field In the course) of the cross-examination.
' Yes, sir," was the reply, " Hut not under
" Does the fort of your lielng under oath muko
any difference?"
'Nn. It don't."
Mr. Stanchfleld's examination was severe, and
the Uncontradicted himself. When Mr. Stanch
field finlthnl. Dr. Flint asked tlic lioy if ho was
willing tn submit tn a physical examination to
prove some of his statemnnts.
" No, sir, I will not," wns theemphatte reply,
" That's all," snld the Doctor, with consider
able emphasis also.
Tho next witness wns Frank Wallace. He
w ore a State prison suit, having been traufi'rrrd
from the Reformatory to Auburn four months
after ho was sent to Klnilra. Wallace wns sent
toElmlra on Get, ?, 1SU3, from lluffalo, on a
charge of grand larceny. He was 31 years old
then
" Why were you transferred to Slato prison ?"
asked Judge (filbert.
" I was transferred because I refused to tell
the right name and address of my people. I
wanted to conceal from them the fact that I was
In prison."
Judge Gilbert told the boy to tell the whole
story. He said:
" I was In the Institution two years when t was
brought tn Mr. Hrockwny's office He asked mu
about my people. I told him tdld not want to
disgrace them, and, of course, didn't want tn
lose my reputation, and Immediately ho ordered
me taken to a dungeon and chained to tho floor,
and kept ou bread and ater until I did tell. I
wks confined In that cell for seven days and
nights. I wns taken from thero nnd had an
Interitew with Mr. Hmckwny. He said:
' Maybe you think I can't take this out of you ?
I can take It nut of you In five minutes, you
dnmn little thief.' Then I was taken to the rest
cure cells, nnd was kept there for seventy-two
days. Then Mr. ilrockwoy sent for me and told
me he aa going tn send me to Auburn. He
did it later. While I was In the cells Mr. Urock
wny wroteme a letter."
Wallace quoted the letter wool for word. It
was In substance: " Your future in the Institu
tion Is In your own hands. You can be happy or
unhappy, as you obey or disobey the rules of the
Institution."
I never was punished In the bathroom,"
said Wallace, "though once I was kicked and
was told that I was sent hero to be reformed,
and he would cither reform me or kill me. I
know that there was no other reason for my
transfer to Auburn."
This 1 practically the whole story of the boy
Wallace, The prosecution has claimed that
this Is tho strongest caso they have against the
managers. They have also asserted, times with
out number, that Wallace, was beaten while In
the Institution to within an Inch of his life
simply because he wanted to hide his name and
save his family. According to his own
story he as never lienten. Tho rest
cure cells In which Wallace says he
was kept seventy-two dtys aro exactly like all
of the other cells in the prison. They have the
furnishing of second grade cells. The law re
quires the superintendent of the Reformatory to
obtain the true names and addresses of all In
mates, with such other facts as may be ascer
tained of parentage andnf early social Influence!
asseem to Indicate tho constitutional and ac
quired defects and tendenctesof tho prlsoncr.and
based upon these an estimate of thecondltinnof
the prisoner and the best possible plan of treat
ment. This Is the exact wording of the law, anil
under It the managers say they have nu alterna
tive but to force nrlsoners to give tho facts de
sired. It being considered by law necessary to
provide for them tho proper treatment. The
records of tho institution nro not open to public
inspection, and Information given by prisoners Is
private.
Judge Gilbert made a desnerste fight to get In
evidence a letter that Wallace wrote to Judge
Seaver of Huffalo, who sent Wallace tn the
Reformatory, a letter the Judge had written to
Mr. Ilrockway. and a letter Mr. JJrock way wrote
to the Judge. He fought for half an hour.
Mr. Deyo said that he would admit Mr. lirock
way's letter, but would exclude the others. The
Judge was savage, and said ha Wouldn't Intro
duce any.
Mr. Ivins cross-examined Wallace. The
young man continually suspected that an effort
was being made lo learn who he was before he
came to prison. Wallace told Mr. Ivins that he
came to the Reformatory with a fixed determin
ation not to tell anything about himself. He
said he knew that at any time he gave in to the
Superintendent ho would ha e been treated with
tho best prisoners.
"1 made a deliberate choice," he said, "and I
propose to stand on It still."
U allare said that when Mr. Ilrockway kicked
him In the face the Superintendent was sitting
In a chair and kicked him on the right cheek
with his right foot, an acrobatlo feat.
Judge Seaver was called Immediately after
Wallace left the stand. Ho testified that he
was the County Judge and had sentenced Wal
lace to tho Reformatory. In Judge Gilbert's
effort to get from Judge Seaver a lot of Irrele
vant matter he let fall the fact that the prose
cution's hope In a favorable report from the
committee in waning. Uesald:
"We shall ask the committee. If It finds any
thing in the law concerning Uiis Institution that
netds changing, tn recommend that the law be
changed. We shall strenuously Insist on this."
He said it in an "If-we-can't-gel-anythlng-else"
tone.
Judge Gilbert asked Judge Seaver exactly
twelve questions. There were exactly twelve
objections, an average flve-mlnute argument
on each objection, and every objection was sus
tained. Judge Seaver left In much disgust, and
In time tn miss his train for liutlalo. He hod not
testified to a single thing.
William Facte, another Auburn convict, was
the next witness. He was sent to the Reforma
tory In lhul from New York for burglary, and
stayed there until January, 181)3. when he was
transferred for participating In "the January
deal." Facie swore he was punished on Jan. i,
1S1K1. He was an inmate officer there, though
he had not been paroled. He expected to go le
fure the I'aroln Itoard on Jan. .'('. About his
punishments, he said he was taken to the bath
room and Mr. Ilrockway asked him why
he didn't tell the truth and confess to
the charges. He told Mr. Ilrockway he
was not guilty, whereupon he was spanked until
he said he would confess. He was taken back
to the dark cell, and refused again to confess,
and was taken back to the Iwthroomand was
Middled again. He begged off a second time,
agreeing to confess, but again be refused when
ha got bock, and again he was brought to the
bathroom. This time he was strut k twice and
fell down. He was pit ked up, and the spanking
was continued until he agreed the third time to
confess. This time ho did confess. Hetaldthat
when be left the bathroom tho third time his
eyes were black, his nose was bleeding, his hack
was black and blue, and there was a cut on his
leg and another on his foot. There were scars
still from both of these cuts, he said.
"Do you say now that the confessions you
made were true or false?" asked Judge Gilbert.
"They are false false," he said,
t" Why did jou say they were true?"
" Well, if I hadn't. I wouldn't be In this chair
to-day. I'd be lu my grave."
"Is there anything further you care to say
about your treatment in the Reformatory)"
asked Judge Gilbert.
"No. sir. I think not." said Facle.and he added
dramatically, "I've got sixteen months to serve
yet, and I'll take my medicine, but wheu I get
out of this I know enough to put a rope around
that man's neck."
He looked at Sir. Ilrockway, who sat at his
desk, Mr. Ilrockway smiled, and so did every
body else. Faclc's story created sympathy tern
poraril). When he was cross-examined, how.
ever, it came out that he had never been spanked
but once: that that time ha received but four
blows: also that the scars that he raid he got
from bis treatment In the Institution he had
before he came to the institution. In several
things he was proved to be a first-class liar. He
was the last witness. The committee decided
before adjourning for the eight toliegtu seoslons
hereafter at 0 in the morning and sit until 1 1 at
night.

When the lollce Commissioners' resumed yes
terday tho trial of Cnpt. Doherty and his former
ward men. Hock and Meehsu, Policeman James
J. McCarthy wns called for the defeni e.
Lawyer Frommo asked him what orders Capt.
Doherty had given regarding Mrs. Tlmrow's
house at 2:1 Second avenue. Tho w Itnaas re
piled that the orders wero to pay particular at
tention to tho house nnd arrest any omen who
might bo found loitering around the street, on
tho vtoop, or In tho hall. The witness himself
hail bwii detailed III ptaln clothes to get evl
denco against Mrs. Thumw's house. He gut
Into the houo once, but before he could secure
tho evidence) ono of the girls recognized him.
He reported to Cnpt. Dohoity that he was tin
succcasful.and thu Captain n as very much disap
pointed. Tho witness had mado as many as thirty
arrests around and about Mrs. Thurow's place.
On one occasion a woman named Marshall,
whom he had arrested, snld to him that It was
very funny that she should be taken In. becanse
Mrs. Thtirow had told them that the police
were paid for "protection." McCarthy replied
that he would arrest them whenever he could,
and that was all tho protection they would get
.Mr. Wellmon asked how far the witness went
In his efforts to secure evidence. McCarthy
told about his visit to tho place and his conver
sation with one of the somen, While ho was
going upstairs some ono In tho parlor called out
and gnvo the warning that he was a policeman.
"Why didn't ) on go down Into the parlor and
associate with tho women there?" asked Mr.
Wellman. "Then you could have got the evi
dence." "I didn't know thero was any women there.
It was dark."
"The fact that you made a bargain with your
companion," said Mr. Wellman -"was that not
sufficient evldenro for )outomnke an arrest?"
The witness replied that. In his opinion. It was
not.
" At a matter of fact, officer." said 5Ir. Well
man, "you didn't Intend to get evidence, did
you?"
"Assuredly, I did."
" Would It surprise you to know that not more
than ten arrests wero made In front of this house
by your whole force tn 1803 ?"
" Oh, there's been more than that," responded
Officer McCarthy, "I have a list of forty or
fifty made by myself."
" Olve mo the list," said Mr. Wellman.
Witness took a sheet of foolscap out of hit
coat pocket and handed It to the lawyer.
" Where did you get this
"An officer named Cohen copied the names
from the records on the blotter."
Mr. Wellman picked out one or two names of
women who had been arrested by McCarthy,
but who gave other addresses than S3 Second
avenue.
" How is this?" asked Sir. Wellman. " These
women don't belong to "IS Second avenue."
"Oh, yes, they do," replied the witness, "but
they don't always give their correct addresses."
McCarthy said that on some occasions the wo
men would run awn) when they saw a police
man nnd hide In tho house.
"Why didn't you go in after them?" asked
Mr. Wellman.
"A policeman has no right to brrax In a door
to make an arrest, ror miviemranor," repnea tne
witness.
Who Instructed you so?" asked Mr. Well
man. I got that Information In the school of In
struction from Roundsman Schuwacker."
' And that Is the law," broke In Lawyer
Grant. . , .
If you saw a woman commit a mlsdrameanor
and oonld not arrest her at the time, why didn't
Jou go and got a warrant for her arrest ' asked
Ir. Wellman. ...
The witness responded that the Judges and
clerks In the police courts would not be bothered
giving warrants for prostitutes, because the
women could bo arrested on sight at some time
or other.
Mr. Wellman tried to show that of tho forty or
fifty women arrested by the witness only two
belonged at S3 Second avenue nnd were arrested
there. Officer McCarthy, however, was positive
that all of the women whoe names appeared on
the list cither belonged at .'3 Second avenue or
were arrested around there.
Policeman Francis J. Hughes was called. He
was one of the men who wero detailed by Capt,
Doherty to stand In front of Mrs. Thurow's
house to prevent the women from accosting men.
Hughes swore that he had made as many as
five or six arrest a night In front of Mrs.
Thurow's honse. He told of the efforts of other
policemen to make arrests.
Mr. Wellman wanted to know If it was not a
fact that when tho women were taken to the
station they werenllowed to sit In the back mom
while tho officer who had mule the arrest went
for Mrs. Thtirow to furnish ball.
Hughes replied that he did not know anything
about Mrs. Thurow giving ball for any one. So
far as he knew, tho women were locked up like
any other prisoner. When they were not balled
at onco they were taken tu the Union Murket
station, where there is a matron. The officer
admitted that he net ergot any notice when his
prisoners were balled. The first Intimation he
would hare of their having been bailed nut was
when he went to Union Market the next morning
to take them to court. He got no notice at his
own station. The Commissioners regarded this
as very strange, but the witness said It was so.
Policeman Henry Cohen testified to the diffi
culties which the iwllce experienced In making
arrests around Mrs. Thurow's. Mrs. Thurow,
he said, had " watchert." out on the corners who
would "tip" the women when a policeman hove
In sight. Capt. Doherty had frequently given
Instructions to the men to do all that they could
to break up the house.
Lizzie Meyer, a disorderly person, denied that
she was In the station house on the night of Jan.
0.1803. She had been arrested but onco, nnd
that was on Jan. St). Mrs. Thurow swore that
on Jan. 6, when she went to the station houso
and paid Capt. Doherty -. she saw Lizzie
Meyer there. The witness swore that .Mrs.
Thurow's statement was false. When she saw
It In the newspapers shu went to see Capt.
Doherty.
" 1 thought it would be best for me to see
Capt. Doherty," lontlnued the Httneas, "sol
told hlra that what Mrs. Thurow said was false,
and he sent mo to his lawyer."
She went on to tell about her arrest on the
night of Jan. aa. She said she did not glvo htr
right name. She thought she gave the name of
Kate Smith or Kate Miller. She could nol tell
w hether she had been lockt-d up or bulled out.
Atone time she said she was jiosltlve she hod
been locked up In a cell at the Fifth street
station. Theu sho guessed she had been balled
Mr. Wellman looked up the records and found
that the arrrst on the night In question of one
Katy Miller was nisdeal 11:A0 P. M..and that
the prisoner hail lieeu drtalned at the Union
Market station. Witness InsUted that she was
arrested at H o'clock and that she wm bailed out.
"Now," said Mr. Wellman, "are you not
merely pretending to be Katy Miller, the person
who waa arrested nu this night?"
"No; I know that 1 gave the name of Miller

Burns, Sparrow, Douglas and Archibald. The
out.ildo men wero handicapped by the tide,
which was about one-half flood. Archibald had
the worst of It, but he took tho lead at the start
and steadily Increased It to tho end. winning
easily by about six lengths. His time was 0
minutes -10 seconds. Burns was second, Doug
las third. Sparrow fourth, and Crngg fifth.
The second race was the trophy paddling, the
most Important event of the day. It was fur the
big silver troph)' which represent the paddling
championship of the entire country. Established
In 1888, It has been won four times by Cana
dian, and only twice by Americans. Last year
at tho meet ou the St. Lawrence River It was
won by It, D'Arcy Scott of the Ottawa Canoe
Club. He was here to defend It this year, but
the Springfield, Mass.. Canoe Club, which fur
nished both the American winners in previous
yean, sent a third champion In the person of
Clarence Eusoti tn keep it on this side tho
line, and Scott's best efforts wero of
no avail. Tho entries were as follows:

RocttK't Poi.tt, Ireland, July 24. The stir
prising feature of to-day's race between the
Vigilant and the Britannia, for tho Royal Cork
Yacht Club's 100 guinea cup, was tho remark
able light weather speed developed by the cen
treboarder. It has never leen paralleled under
similar conditions over a fifty mile course. In
her duels with tho Valkyrie off Sandy Hook tho
best hourly average of tho Vigilant as 8.82
knots. Htr hourly areragn tolay was l.(17,
which Is about half a knot better than the speed
Britannia attained In her quickest previous
race, except yesterday's, over an Inside course.
The wind was light from start to finish nnd
fluctuated between northeast nnd east. Its
force varied only slightly, proliably not more
than two knots. The Britannia accounted for
tome of her loss after four-fifths of the course
had been sailed and when the Vigilant was
nearly four minutes ahead by the fouling of her
spinnaker. It was caught on the topmast stay
Just at she rounded Daunt'a Rock lightship on
her way home. She was forced to luff tip to
save the big sail. But this slight loss was more
than counterbalanced by the loss of the Vigilant
while running free to Dnunt's Rock from Poor
Head In the last round. Sha broke the Jaws of
her gaff, nnd ber nimble sailors went aloft nnd
mode a rough and hurried Job of splicing that
held out to the finish
Tho Vigilant won by 3 minutes and 25 sec
onds corrected time, on tho surmise that she al
lows Britannia 1 minute and 10 seconds. On
actual time the centreboarder won by 4 minutes
and 38 seconds. She led at every ono of the
nine turns of the course, and proved herself In
a fairly steady light breeze to be a better ) acht
than the cutter.
The Impression hero Is that thn Vigilant has
completely recovered her old form, und Is pre
pared to tackle the cutter In liny kind of breeze
that has staying qualities. Tho British yuchtiv
men think It was a square victory In it true,
light breere. Capt. Hank Hnff nnd his men are
Jubilant, The Yankee yacht received un nvntlim
at the finish. Stentorian Irish cheers were min
gled with the bark and thunder of big and little
guns and the shrieking of steam whistles. Both
sides of the entrance to the harbor, varying In
width from about half a mile to n mile, were
thronged with sightseers as victor and van
quished sailed through the strait to the home
mark.
A light northeasterly wind, a lowering sky,
and a chilling drizzle from seaward wero tho
weather conditions on which the race was start
ed. The course was from Roche's Point, south
southeast, about four miles, to Poor Head;
thence In a southwesterly direction, nliout five
miles, to and around Dnunt's Rock lightship,
and thence north, about five miles, to Roche's
Point. This triangular course was salted over
three times, with a final leg of about four miles
extending Into landlocked wuters to Spit
lighthouse, with a turn to the nt-Hiwurd, finish
ing In front of the yacht club house.
There was little maneuvering for advantage
at the start. The yachts came for the line as
the starting gun boomed, and crossed almost
beamtobcant at 10:30:02. The Vigilant was
somewhat to windward, but the Britannia was
a nose pole ahead, and was then In little danger
of a blanketing, as the light northeaster was
forward of the port beam. As they crossed they
broke out Uietr Jlptopsalls. It was rlubtopsall
weather, and the lofty canvas was set, Tho
Vigilant finally sailed through tho Briton's
weather, and her sails trembled with the blan
keting she received. The Britannia's skipper
decided to make an effort to return the compli
ment, and. when halfway to Poor Head, ran
under the Yankee yacht's stern. The cutter did
not have the sliced to accomplish her purpose.
The Vigilant turned the Poor Head mark
leading by 40 seconds. As the yachts wero timed
together at the start, this represented the centre
boarder's jalu on the four-mile leg. The wind
had shifted a bit to the eastward, but was still
fair enough for spinnakers when the yachts
squared away for Daunt'a Rock lightship. The
Britannia act her big side sail flying In English
fashion, and the Yankee boat broko hers from
stops. The run to the lightship was made with
all kites flying. The Vigilant gained only 12
seconds on her rival, and was S2 seconds ahead
when they were thus timed turning Daunt'a
Rock:

The wind had go further around to the east
ward, and ft was a free reach to Roche's Point.
The wind freshened a bit on the reach, and the
Vigilant, in her customary st)lc in a breeze, in
creased her lead. The Britannia stood ovor to
the eastward, but the Vigilant held her course.
The wind shifted somewhat to the northward,
thus favoring the leader, which felt its Influence
first. The Vlgllsnt headed to the eastward, and
with sheet freer mode for Roche's Point, They
rounded as follows:
Vigilant ... .. 1S:0:1.1
Britannia 12:01:37
It was a reeoh with sheets flattened some
what from Roche's Point to Poor Head at tho
beginning of the second round. The Britannia
stood Inshore, apparently Intending to get the
wind more on the beam, and to ease sheet and
run for thn mark. The Vigilant rounded Poor
Head lending by 2 minutes and IS secouda. She

clearness It was noted thnt the Dritatnilr had
changed her spinnaker to starboard. There was
uncertainty, owing to the mist, about the exact
titsy or the racers at Duunt's Rock. The Amer

The Boston feraJd's correspondent. In speaking
of Lord Dunraveu't ill-fated cutter Valkyrie,
tayt;
" There axe to many rumor concerning the
future of the Valkyrie that just now it it hard
to say what will be the result of her haul out at
Greenock. Her mast U cutoff to within a few
feet of the deck, and she is a sorry-looking alght.
I hear that a leading yacbUman, puaaibly ono of
the OUuna syndicate, may buy the Valkyrie

to take part in tha south of England races."

Glasgow, Jnly 11. The Vigilant hat ben
beaten four times running In the Cydo. The
Vigilant him beaten by the tlmo allowance on
Saturday, the "th, after a race for a Queen's
Cup in which the Britannia had exactly the
weather which suttee! her. With another five
miles to go the Vigilant, golntf ns sho was going,
would have beaten tho Ilrltalinln.
As It was. In n foun-tnllo fetch In tho Mime
wind and tide, the Vlgllsnt wlpdtiut nearly the
half of her three minutes' time. The Vigilant
droppeel tho Britannia foot bv foot In the four
mile fetch cloio hnulod, anil any one who knows
anything of yacht racing must Imv c at once ne
knowlrdged that In a flft).mllo stretch, with
the same wind nnd canvas, the Britannia would
have been left about hull down.
With inylhlrt) ) curs' experience of yacht rac
ing In tho CI) ite, where 1 have sailed aboard at
least fifty winners, triim 100-tnntirrs down, 1
ought to know, and I am quite safo In saying
that 1 do. Although I was tho first to lndst
through the press, on tho genius of Mr. G. L,
Watson as a yacht designer, and have all
through regarded him as tho most tclnnllfla
yacht designer this country has produced, I can.
not but acknowledge that the Vigilant is faster
than tho Britannia. ,
At the same tlmo the Britannia Is the greatest
success In the designing of 100-ton cutters
which this country has produced, and Sir. Wat
sou has expressed tn tne his belief thut tho Bri
tannia would have mndn a better show as a cup
challenger than the Valkyrie.
On Saturday, July', with a breeze of south
west wind right ahead, folrly true and steady,
which certainly waa the !cst weather for the
Britannia, that cutter ought to have made a
better show. In a tack to starlosnl. across the
Clyde to the Clock Lighthouse, the Britannia
Just manngrd to cross the Vigilant, but tho
Vigilant cleared her wind when both stayed.
In tho cross-tacking down channel, four or
five tulles wide, Britannia held tho weather
lierth nnd weather Ixiwcel Vigilant mercilessly,
a gAinu British yachtsmen are experts in from
having tn rare In narrower waters than Ameri
can )nchtsmcn are obliged to do.
The racing of tha Vigilant tn the Clyde hat
? roved that f he Is not so quick In stays as the
Irltaunio, which may lie duo to soveral circum
stances, nnd more especially points to the fact
that n lieainy craft like the Vigilant, not de
signed for sailing In narrow waters and tlde
wny' as tho Brltlih cutters are, runs
every hazard when comiwtlnp this side
the Atlantic And, although the Vlgllanfs
ira ncrs have been rhlvnlrlc enough to race tho
Biltannln In the Clvdo, It cannot Im overlooked
thnt matches hlch 111 be regarded as more or
less Intcriiiittnnnl ought to have been sailed In
pen water", where local knnwledgo was of less
avail, and where the mountainous configuration
of tho land did not lend assistance to local ad
vice. No yachtsman who knows tho Clyde would
have advised t hc-SIissrs. Gould to race Inside tha
GnrriM'h and Cumbnn heads, where tho Clyde
proper begins, and where a 10-ton yacht with
local knonleetgo could, on many a day, beat a
AO.ton )ochi without local knowledge. A good
CI) de pilot can gue'ss the weather five days out
of even from knowing how the mountain
range nn Its shores regulates It, but Capt.
Haff might bo under the Impression that
all a pilot was required for waa to save the tides
and avoid the sand hanks.
In his first race he had Capt. Dan Zuke, n Clyde
yacht captain w Ith a good reputation, but I do
not know anything of the next pilot he had. I
hnppcn to be well acquainted with Clyde pilots
who would have had nbettcr chant e. And In ref
erence to this point, after the Vigilant hail sailed
her first race to within nliout seven miles of the
finish, nnd had seven minute of n leael, she was
sailed up the Clock shore close In with them high
and nn a lee shore. As ('l)do sailors and other
sailors know, high laud on a lee shore lifts the
wind, and while the Vigilant was nearly be
calmed, the Britannia, tomtng up astern, was
kept mure In mid-channel, carried the wind
along with her, panned thcSlgllant flying, nnd,
running down wind, won. Of course the Vigi
lant simply gnve tho rare aw ay, and It may or
may not lie considered a victory.
Returning to Snturdn) 'a race, the Britannia,
with her vveathei bowing of tho Vigilant, kept
her lend, but Ihe weather mark was only some
43 second ahead. In the run up the Clyde, the
Vigilant wascntchtngunon theBrttanniu,whliii
luffed tho American well across the river. Bear
ing away, both lxintf ran close enough to tho
Clock, and the finish of the first turn was,
Britannia 1 :3.1:3k. Vigilant. 1 :30:4ii.
In tho second turn, with a stronger breeze, the
racing was still clime with the boats at the closo
near enough to have the Issue doubtful. They
passed and repassed, and Anally Capt. Haff,
running by thelee, was smart enough to claim
the Inside berth at the flagboat.
In tlio close fetch to the flagship the Vigilant
dropped the Britannia slowly and surely, but
could not save her three minutes of time allow
ance, the finish being, the Vigilant. 4:10:37;
the Britannia, 4:1H:42. Spinkakeii.

Ah Is usual with battle of this kind, the prin
cipals did not enter thu ring until after mid
night. There wun a delay at the outset In secur
ing a refereo sultuble tu lmth men. Johnny
Eckhnrtlt was finally electeet. Both boys were
trained to Ihe hour. Creed's muscles were
finely drawn and he seemed lo lie confident of
victor). Downey looked to b strung and was
eager for the fruy to begin. Tho ring, which
was pitched In u small room above a hotel, was
poorlv constructed and tnurred the work of the
pugilists. Tho ropes were quite loose, and half
of the time the boxen wero sprawling on top of
the spectators.
Creed was terribly punished, but he took his
beating liken Trojan. Ho received two black
ryes und several cuts about the face. His mouth
was considerably puffed up. Downey was un
marked, freed was looked after by Jack Smith
and SllkeSIartln. Jim Smith kept time. Dow
ney'e neconds were Andy Kelly of Brooklyn and
SInrtIn Tlcrney John babllne held the time
piece for him.
At the outset Downey was the aggressor, and
he pummelled Creed unmercifully, lie knocked
Cecil down aeverul times, and kept his man
ailing until the eighth round, when Tommy
forged ahead. The latter sent In blow after
blow, and Downey looked like a loser. After
this Downey rallied and had things his own
wo). His strength began to tell. Creed played
for tie w Ind, tmt his blows lacked force and did
nodamac lu the nlne'eeuth. twentieth, and
twent) .first rounds the gone alone saved Creed
from u knock-out. He vvai down nine seconds
In tho twentieth round.
Down) rushed Creed right along, and the
latter was beginning tn feel the etfectsof the
tiunldimcnt. H appeared to h hiipelesly
beaten, lu the tweut) -fifth round Downey
rusheei his man to the rows and planted his
right repeatedly on Creed s stomach. Creed
sank In the Moor from sheer exhaustion, and
then the referee ave the tight to Dmvne). Crrcd
had to bocarriid to hl corner, ills g,vnunets
evoked admiration, tnd it waa this ulone that
helped him to rfluy at long ns he did.
Tho friend nf Downey carried bliu out of the
ring un their shoulders.
