F.very-yhe acknowledged the defoat.
At the outer mark tho time was taken as
usual by Dr. Mackay and It wes seen that the
Columbia had a lead of nearly ten minutes.
In 'plteof the fact thattheraee was practically
over at that imlnt and that the .Shamrock could
only win by the Columbia breaking down, Kir
Thomas watched every move on tho two yachts
and he did not leave the bridge until the
yaehtt had crossed tho finishing line. TheFrln'a
whistle tooted as loudly ns that of any of the
other vestals that were out and all on board
cheered for tlis white boat's victory. Then the
Krin weat Into the Horseshoe. Hlr Thomas
Upton talking of the race afterward said:
"Well, we have boen beaten fairly and
fi'juaiWr, and I have no excuses to mako. The
Columbia has shown that she Is a wonderful
boat, urn as we were told she was, and she has
bsaten the Hhumrook. It was not a pleasant
day for yacht raclnc, but we have managed to
pull olt one of the rao of the series and that is
better than having a failure again. We have
learned something of the sailing qualities of
the two yachts in light weather and
the Columbia ha proved herself to be
the better boat This Is not Shamrock
weather. We have always said that we
wanted a good breee for our boat and I hope
that we shall have it before tho series is ended.
You can aeo how light the wind was by the
time that tho yachts took to cover the eour.e.
Theyonly had half an hour left In which to
make n race Clearly understand, though, that
I am not making any excuses Wo were beaten
and I hope wo are sportsmen enough to take
a defeat as we would taken victory The Colum
bia was beautifully sailed So was tho Sham
rock, but the American boat was the faster "
"Are you ready for another race to-morrow?"
Kiked tho reporter.
"I don't know whv we are not. I have not
hsard from the Shamrock jet. but I don't think
that anything has happened to prevent her
being ready to-morrow morning and I liopo
that we may havo a good fresh breoro. Per
haps the Columbia will prove to be the bettor
boat, too. In the weather that we think that
tke Shamrock will do her best In. If bo. why
wo are beaten, that's all I would like to add
that I wish, Mr. Flfo were here. Poor fellow, he
li suffering very much at his hotel and feels
ta- diiappolutment keenly. It certalaly would
not he harmful for us to have him hern and It
might be a great benefit I am not saying this
an an excuse for tho defeat, but I should very
math like him to be out to help on the Bham
rock "
Th Erin by this time had run Into the Horse
shoe and the Columbia was a little ahead just
riding up her mooring. Sir Thomas ordenid
thatths Frln should go ns near to the Columbia
as poislble, ntiit then ho asked Capt, Uatthews
tohavsthomenlinetlmsldo. When the Krin got
alongside tho Columbia Kir Thomas shouted.
'Three good British choere for tho Columbia'"
and then, waving his hat. he led the cheering,
very me entering henrtlly Into the applause.

Oaly One Kxrurslon Host lteprlmnaileil
Cnpt. Ktutie .luhilnnt
Capt. "Bob" l'.vans's hoart was made glad by
Columbia'! splendid performance yesterday.
Prom the day he first took tho patrolling Iteet
of Uncle Sam's whlto revomie cutters nnd
black destroyer out to Sandy Hook Lightship
to give the single-stickers n clear comse, he
hadn't nny other idea tlmn that Columbia
would show hor heels to the llrltou In any wind
that blew, Before yesterday's race was half
over he. emphatleully told Ills friends on the
revenue cutter Manning that "Shamrock wasn't
In Columbia's class." If Hlr Thomas I.Iitona
challenger leads tho American boat at tho finish
In any of the Cup races, tho most ustouudi-d
man in this iielghboihood will be Capt. Ilobley
1, P.vans I'.ven the llukes of the first week's
lacing didn't ehako his unbounded fnltli In
Columbia's ability towhlp the challenger of 'mi
in the fashion set by the old-tlmo defenders.
"Glvo 'om n fair blow," aald Cajit P.vans, "and
Uhaiurocg will follow Columbia home overy
time."
If anybody had any complaint to make about
the way the patrol Meet kept the course clear
yesterday It would have bean some skipper
who couldn't get his excursion craft near
enough to see Shamrock through the mist
whan Columbia, with all her canvas drawing,
was for speeding home. Capt. Kvans. himself,
didn't see Columbia cross the finish line, for
on the homeward run he let the whole eiour
sion Moot pass him, keeping the Manning on
Shamrock's starboard auaiter to make sure
that the Briton had tin oeeau to hersall. This
rather chafed the Manning's skipper. Capt
lloberts, who wanted to f-ee how big
a victory the American yacht was winning.
"Shan't I let her out n little, Crtptaln?"
he called down from the bridge, "We'd better
look nfter this fellow olt here." Capt. Evans
answered with a smile. And Capt. lloberts
took up his glass and gaed longingly toward
the Lightship, where the lleet was waiting to
welcome Columbia. A few minutes later Capt.
Evans made out tho thin white column of
team rising over the lleet about tho Light
ship that told that the Cup defender was being
tooted across the line, and then the Manning
started ahead under all steam As soon as the
Manning's speed signal was raised, the Brln.
which hud kept biihluat. too, to look after hor
oharge, started lacing home, and in a few
minutes the whole lleet had crowded In about
the finish line.
One vessel of the oxcurslon fleet had to be
reprimanded, and that sharply This was tho
fishing steamer Dolphin, the old-time Al Poster.
As the Manning was waiting near the turning
buoy for the Shamrock to round the mark the
Dolphin backed In right behind the revenue
cutter.
"You'll have to keep further away, Dolphin I"
shouted Capt. lloberts from the bridge of the
Manning, "You've been keening too near "
"Aye. aye. sir!" answered tho Dolphin's
captala.
Just then the guard boat J. L. Luekenback
came upon the other side of the Manning nnd
hailed Cat. Evans. Lieut Hottel.the revenue
officer In chargo of her, shouted through his
megaphone.
"Capt. P.vans, can we have n boat to Pond an
officer aboard the Dolphin to take her back to
Now York' She won't oboy our orders!"
"Beport her when you get back to Now
Yorkl" answered t'apt. Pvans. "We don't
want to keeptho-e people from seeing the race.
When you go Itaok keep In tho lee of the
Columbia and see that she isn't bothered "
Capt. Evans was bubbllig over with boyish
enthusiasm while waiting for the challenger to
rond the mark. He held his wateh ou the
yachts and mado Columbia's lead to bo ten
minutes.
"That's the worst ever!" he exclaimed. "Did
you ever seen boat beaten llko that in wind
ward work ? Why, Shamrock's the worst
beaten yacht that ever came over here. Those
fellows In New York whe've lost their courage
will be scurrying around to hedge when thoy
hear this. Shamrock isn't in Columbia'! class.
I don't like to say I tola you so, but"
One of the official boats came rushing byjust
then, and Capt. P.vans saw Lieutenant-Corn-mnnder
Halsey on the hurricane deck.
" How's that, Halsey?" shouted Capt. Kvans
jubilantly,
"Great!" cried Halsey, waving his arms like
a collegian at a football game.
In the raeo homo after the finish the Manning
ran close by Columbia. The cup defender's
crew lined up along the rail and cheered tho
revenue cutter.
"Congratulation for Mrs. Iselln I" Capt,
Evans cried out.
Mrs. Iselln waved her hand nnd then her
husband called out: "Three cheers for Capt.
Evans!" Beforo Columbia's men had their
aheer out the Manning's sailors gave a mighty
shout for the American acht. Cans were
tossed In tho air and arms waved frantically.
The Manning, the Onondaga nnd the Greabam
had a ulp-and-tuck race for their anchorage In
tho upper bay. The Onondaga, which had a good
start, led all theothor cutters all tint way. The
Gresham and the Manning were bow nnd
bow for about an hour and neither could gain
an advantage.
The torpedo boats Dupont, Porter, Morris
and Mclvonzle had very little to do keeping ex
cursion boats out of the way of the racers.
The revenue cutters wsro late in arriving, so
Lleutenant-Commauiler John C Fremont
sent the Porter. Lieut, I. V, Gillls In command,
to tho western aldo of the course with the Mor
ris, while tho Dupont and Mch'enlu held to
the eastern side. The lleot of excursion boats
split as the torpedo bo.itn spread out.
Into the breach came tho revenue cutters,
some time nfter the start, whereupon Gillls
took the Porter across to his proper position,
followed by the Morris.
The only business to attend to was keeping
the engines jogging along and the courso
proper. The order was given that the guard
flag should not be rocognlrad unless there was
an officer on board, but It was not necessary to
make use of the order as the boats held their
distance. The course was not crowdei at nny
time. Ou the run out the Morris headed off u
German steamer which was coming In,
At times the speed of the torpedo boats was
aa high as twelve knots, then again it fell to
two or three knots as the yachts were held ou
the port elds, Some'lnies tho torpedo boats
wero all headed on the sami line, frequently
til y wore on parallel 1 n--s. but their relative
positions weiu nearly always the same. If ono
boat went to port all did the same.
At the stake tho torpedo boats lay to for a
while und then faced about and came homo
atrnlght ahead, tho Dupont leading. At tho
finish tho boats closed in to see tho crossing.
Then the Dupont dived through .tho fleet of
excursion boats, the Porter circled back and
both headed for the Conoy Island channel
buoy
The torpedo boats tied up long before any
of the other boats which saw the end of the
race The way they run up the bay was a speo
tacle not to be forgotten.

Coluiuliln's Victory Soeius to lime Scared
Clinllpnger's Itiirkers Awny.
Tho oasy win of Columbia practically para
lysed the betting on the series. Speculation
lias been on the wane for several days, the men
who manipulate the odds, saying: " Walt until
nfter the first race, then you will seo the big
nionov put down," Instead of stimulating the
timid supporters of tho Shamrock, asm-loao
raee would havo done, the result of tho first
contest had the effect of burying them almost
entirely.
During the first hour or so after the finish n
few pluoky partisans of the challenger tried to
stem the tide of dlsconaolatlon, nnd In the
vain hope that Columbia's easy victory was
due to fluky winds or nthor chance circum
stances, bookmaker I'llmann at tho Hoffman
House bet $45 against S-0 that the Shamrock
would win to-day'a rnoe. Joe Klernnn took tho
Columbia end nnd, according to the sentiment
that prevailed later In the eveuing. received an
opportunity for profitable hedging.
l'red Brooks, the Wall street broker, who lias
plaeed nearly $10,000 on tho Columbia at rul
ing odds, took advantage of the favor that
arose on the Exchange when it became known
that there was a prospect of a race taking
place. Parly In the morning he laid $1,000 to
II'OO, und about an hour alter the yachta
started made another bet of $500 to $4f0. As
soon as the result was known in the city
Brooks was on the lookout for moro Shamrock
money, and increased tho otTor of odds until a
well-known business man was tempted to In
vest $,00 on the Shamrock at 'J to 1
The Wall street man vvas in gny humor over
the decisive beating which tho Columbia ad
ministered to her rival, ami says he Intends to
tnko his chances of losing Ills $10,000 without
hedging a cent. On tho contrary, he hopes to
place a thousand or two more at "J to 1 before
the race to-day.
At the Waldorf-Astoria there were several
offers to bet" to 1 that the Cup would remain
In America, but no hig wagers were recorded.
The general Impression was that the odds
would advance to U to 1 by this moraine.
Evidence that the early bettors of the Sham
rock are already running to covor vvas forth
coming at the Delavan, where an Englishman,
who has prev iously taken the odds against the
Irish boat, camo out with an ollor of $lf0 to
$70 that the Columbia would win the series.
At the Imperial $75 of Shamrock money has
been waiting for buveral davs for a venture
some American to lay $100 against. Tho
money vvas still In the commissioner's hands
last night, but he said that he awaited further
orders from his principal before placing the
money
There was no sign of speculation at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel or Holland House. In those
und most of the other uptown resortsthere wns
a disposition to await the judgment of tho ex
perts In the morning papers before rii.kinc any
moro money on the result.
A group of New York A. C members In dis
cussing the odds that should prevail after the
(Jolumbln's vlotory were almost a unit In favor
ofthiee to one on the home boat keeping the
Cup. It was pointed out that as two to onelwas
the rate before the Bhamrock reached this sido
of tho water, the leg gained by the Columbia
should have the effect of sending the betting
on her up a full point.
About an hour before Columbia' vlotory was
known John Considine, Jim Corbett's partner,
mado two wagers of $250 to $200 on the
American yacht Considine tried to get moro
money down but failed. "Brooklyn" Jimmy
Carroll, who is backing the Columbia, found a
customer for $400. Carroll gave 10 to 8
on t he series, and now offers to lay $:t00 to $200
that the Columbia will defeat the Bhamrock In
tho next race. Dick lloache. another Columbia
man, was at the Gllsoy House, and offered to
but $700. atlOtoH, on the Columbia, but found
no takers. At the Sturtev ant House, which has
boen the rendezvous of Shamrock admirers,
several big wagers were recorded. Frank
Bangs Is holding about $00 in betH. Jlai

CROWDS AROIXl) TIIK TICKKRS.
Seeuen and larldents ns the Mesinges from
the Tnpe Wore Made Known.
Tho manv disappointments that New Yorkers
interested in the Cup races have suffered had a
bracing effect on the crowds that usually sur
round the ticker when a big sporting evont
takes place, nnd In nearly every hotel and cafo
there was n much larger group around the
tape than on the early occasion when the prom
ise of a race resulted In fizzle after flzrle.
The outlook In the early morning was so dis
couraging that many cranks who have for
saken their beds at sunrise for the seven futllo
attempts turned over for naother nap after
receiving information that tho weather was
misty and the wind light. This was especially
noticeable at the Waldorf-Astoria, whero a
goodly eontlng it of Britishers, who oame to
America with the express purpose of seeing
the yacht rase, aie staying.
They strayed Into the cafe of the hotel about
11 o'clock. It was tho first time that the
Englishmen had been seen in the hotel on the
morning of a race day slnco the II m data set
for a trial. In a perfunctory manner ono of the
croup strolled ovor to the ticker HI exclama
tion of mingled disgust and satisfaction at the
discovery that a race was probable cuusod his
companions to join him, and tho excitomtnt
was high from that minute.
The wonderful variation of the new as It
came out on the tape from time to time in
stigated mnny argument that filled in the
waits between messazes These beoarn more
frequent und virulent afterthn Htakeboat was
turned and tho official time showing tke
Columbia to have a lead of nearly ton min
utes was reported.
In an uptown hotel patronized by a racing
coterie the blackboard used for information
about the horses was utilized to satisfy the In
t crest of thu customer in the doings of the
yachts Each piece of new a It came in was
posted on the board, Tfhen the boats were
about forty-five minutes on their journey
home, the astonishing news came la
that tho Columbia was only two min
utes In front of the Shamrock. The par
tltana of the challenger wero jubilant
for n moment. Then a stanch supporter of
the Columbia lolutod out that minutes vvas
evidently n mistake for miles. As the minutes
worn on ami no conectlon was made the
Shamrock mathematicians went to work
to iiiuto that the green boat could nnd
did gain ubout seven minutes on her rival in
as many miles. This Involved a lengthv
argument The Shamrock men insisted
t h it hhe uould sail faster than tho
wind, with n tide. The Columbia adherents
went so far ns to declare that them w.is no
tide at Sandy Hook It vvas finally agreed
thorn was u tide, and In the middle of n sharp
iliscuision on the speed of tides the ticker be
gau to woik again,
"Stockh," was tho laconic remark of the man
wlioheld the tape
"Blow the stocks," said a sportsman, whose
blood was at this time at fever heat over the
I'onteM.
At last, after a w.iltof three-iiuarlers of an
hour, the news came that the Columbia was
on! nn eighth of n mile ahead. The hopee of

from his book. "Children of tho Ohelto." wns
performed nt tho lloiald Square Theatru lint

tion of Jews as thoy live In their quarter of
London. Hut It told with somo elToit nt the
iitilwl effect thrlovo story of it Hebiew young
man who strove to vlolato a Jewish matri

iind.anywai.slie had only been wed led In jest
at a social gathering. Hut her father vvas a
strictly oithodox rabbi, a believer In lit
eral udheienco to what he deemed a
divine edict. Ho Insisted that Jlavil
was enough of n priest, and llaiinali
sufficiently illvoiceil, to preclude their
union. The lovers nt flit rebelled togethor.
but lit length tho girl resolved to submit to tho
law, and o thev wero separated unhappily for
life. This nu"ulr of broken hearts vvas set forth
with mori distinctness In the noted play than
'It had been In tho printed mutative, but still
It was secondary In amount of matter. If not In
total Interest, to tho exposition and discussion
of Judaism. The essential thouie was Jewish
constancy to religious bullet in practice as vvull
us theory. The lovei stood for that depaituro
which many Hebrews are making from their
ancient tenets The father wus obdur
ately pious, and his nuthority prevailed
with the daughter. It was a play
of words and not of deo.ls Beside the dis
cussions bearing directly upon tho main topic,
thero wns a great deal of talk altogether extra
neous to that nnd serving only the put pose of
chariK'terlatlon. The movement vvas sluggish
throughout and not diamatlcally potent until
near the end of tho third act It was so late ns
tint ere thu tr-uible for the lovers nrose.
Nothing of any serloue coneoiniutice had hap
pened beforo that. Thero had being shown
In the fiist act, at a homo in Zaeharluh Square,
the accidental marriage and the immedUto
divorce: and in the second act. at a I'urlm ball,
tho beginning of mutual love between Danul
and Hannnlt The belated scene of their
surprise and sorrow nt being forbidden to
marry was vory touching when reached,
and so was one in tho fourth act. when they
parted altogether. Those passages had a
charm of unforced pathos, partly due te tho
manner ot the acting, but lying In the compo
sition, too.
That Mr ZangwiU's play interested it audl
once was duo to Its exposition of JewUli types
of character, habits of life nnd practices of re
ligion lln othi-r words.lit postessed the graphic
merits of the book as a study of the
Ohstto ot London 'Ihlrty-six Hebrews of
various types wero introduced They
were a sharply diffeiantlnted nisemblage,
ranging from tho Impressive dignity of a ven
erable rabbi, admirably embodied by Wilton
I.aokayo. to atomic poet, whom William Nor
ris recommended to merriment, and even Into
extreme caricature In u grotesque bride

merous company was oompoed nlto

'payers James A Hraru had drilled tlifiu
into thnt quietude whli'li ho liellevi-e to be the
bust druustlo art, and whloh wus uadenmbly
suitable to such a piece as "Children of tho

predictions ns to the future of il.ii

It was finely performed 1 he applause rlurinj.

tho third act. Instead of responding
in person lie sent a man out to
say that it the people fhoultl still
approve his work after thoy had seon It
all, he would come out to thank thin When
the curtain fell finally, the applause flmt
brought forth some of tho actors Then thero
were renewed calls for the author, nnd

ot President Pranklln Pierce was new provi

of its tlavor of rusticity was of a novel
nature, though costume- of the period
furnished unusual diesslng The play dlf-fi-ied
chiefly fiom its preili'cesors In that
mixed with the abundant nnd nmuslng rural
Incidents were li ippenlngs that were suited to
n harrowing melodrama Ono of the more
striking country types was a man who
pretended to bo nn nsslster of run
away slaves lleally he returned them
to their masters and profited by
the olTeied rewai,! One nf the blacks he had
thus deceived returned to kill him. The
actual assault was nut of view, but the
uegio's lllght nfter the killing was ot
that unmistakably serlou sort that Is
common with direct melodrama, and thero
wero other equally blunt bids for tears The
man whose cud was welcomed was up to other
devious tricks that were more trite. He held a
mortgage on the property that gave to the play
the name of "The lUlry Parm," and for noarly
the whole ot the play'a four acts foreclosure
Impended In the good old way.
Of these serlou incidents and of sentimental
passages there vvas not neatly enough to make
an entire play, and room wns left for n plenty
of the sketching that is characteristic ot rustle
dramas. A vlow of a fsrmhome and its occu
pants served as Introduction, and differed from
other like auts chlelly in not employing
farm hands as a vocal quartette IA second net
