All arrangements have been made by
Captain Nerney of -the Naval Militia for
the cruise of the northern half of the or
ganization. On September 15, 125 officers
and men of the militia will board the
Philadelphia and start on a seven days',
cruise, probably along the southern coast
That is the idea at this time, but Cap
tain Mead, in command of the vessel, may
take her in another direction.
Efforts are being made to organize an
other company for the First Infantry
Regiment, so as to make it a nine-com
pany regiment to be divided into three
battalions. •
Major Bush, commanding the battalion,
intends to have the band present at suc
ceeding drills, when there will be cere
monies, such as review, parade, guard
mount and escort to the colors.
BATTALION" DRILL
BY THE ARTILLERY
The Naval Militia Is All Ready for
the Cruise. on the Phil
adelphia.
The First Battalion of Artillery of the
National Guard had a very creditable drill
on Van Ness avenue last Monday night.
Although no notice for such drill had been
sent out it being the regular drill night
for the four batteries, nearly two hundred
men paraded. Among the movements ex
ecuted were right and left of companies,
rear into column, break from the right to
march to the left In columns of fours and
companies, close column, deployments,
changes of front, changes of direction and
marching In line of companies in columns
of fours. It was noticed that the guides
were ! more prompt In the discharge of
their several duties than they were on
the occasion of the previous street drill,
showing that they had 5 profited by In
structions received since then. The drill
was witnessed by a largo number of cit
izens, who appeared .to be greatly in
terested. Quartermaster Sergeant Gal
braith of Battery B acted as sergeant
major and demonstrated that he is as
good in drill as he is in handling uniforms.
The prizes were distributed as follows:
Championship of the coast in doubles:
Misses May and Violet Sutton: runners
up. Misses Miriam Hall and Alice Hoff
man. Mixed doubles championship,
George "Whitney and Miss Hall: runners
up, U. B. Collier and Miss May Sutton.
Women's singles championship and tour
nament. Miss May Sutton: runner up.
Miss Ethel Sutton. Consolation for one
first beaten by -winner of singles tourna
ment. Miss Violet Sutton. All of the prizes
but three were loving cups. The singles
challenge cup was won for the first time
last year and Miss Button's name Is the
second to be inscribed. It is to be won
three times for absolute property. At
present It looks as if the cup would re
main south for many years, as all four
sisters outclass any other women on the
coast. . •
Miss Hall certainly tried hard to stave
off defeat and played the game of her life,
but the little southern champion was not
to be denied: Miss Hall is a very small
and frail girl and throughout the match
was greatly handicaped by a lack of
strength. Most of her balls fell short in
the court and . Miss Sutton was able to
do as she pleased with them. On the other
hand, Miss Sutton Is short but of power
ful build, and her driving and smashing;
are very speedy. Miss Hall was a trifle
nervous during: the three sets, but Miss
Sutton, confident that she could not lose
and knowing 1 her own ability, was per
fectly cool. One could not help but ad
mire the pluck of Miss Hall.
In the last set Miss Hall started out well,
taking the first game, but her opponent
steadied down and soon ran the score up
to 3—1 in her favor. Miss Hall won the
next game, and It began to look as if the
last set would be very close, but the next
three games and match, went to Miss
Sutton.
In the second set both ladies played
from the back court throughout, and con
sequently the rallies were much longer
than In the first set. Miss Hall did very
much better in this set and obtained many
more points. Miss Button's driving was
phenomenal for Its accuracy and brought
forth great applause from the spectators.
Her headwork was very much better
yesterday than at any time during the
week. Miss Sutton took this set. 6—2.
Although the score looks rather one
sided, the last two sets were closely con
tested. In the first set Miss Hall tried to
•play at the net but was passed repeatedly.
She was able to obtain only eight points
In the entire set, and five of them in the
last game. This will give a good idea of
the wonderful game put up by the winner.
Before the larirest crowd that has as
sembled on the courts of the Hotel Rafael
In many years Miss May Button, the 15
year-old wonder from Southern Califor
nia, wrested the championship of the
coast from Miss Miriam Hall, the former
Incumbent. One and all voted It the
greatest tennis ever played by women in
this part of the country, and the game put
up by the new champion was probably
equal to the champion women players of
the United States. There, has been a
doubt lurking In the minds of some dur
ingr the week as to Miss Sutton's ability
to beat Miss Marlon Jones, but that doubt
was dispelled yesterday In the champion
ship match. The score in favor of Miss
Button waa S— 0, 6—2. 6—2.

Reilly's error and second on Drennan's
out, ecored on one of thos« poor, • weak,
lucky pop hits that go nowhere in par
ticular. Dunleavy dropped this one be
tween second and center.
Although devoid of much hitting:, the
third eame of this series was as pretty
to look at as any rabid crank could de
sire. "With the exception of Josh Reilly's
bunch of errors, the fielding was sharp
and brilliant at all times. Moskiman and
Hildebrand divided honors and distin
guished themselves in the outskirts, the
• former for a series of Ion? sprinting
catches and the latter for a sensational
right-hand pluck that took the ball out
of the air. Francks' work at short was
remarkably line throughout the game,
but Shay went him one or two better.
Out of thirteen chances Shay errored but
once, and this was on account of slipping
on the wet ground.
Pete Lehman left the field yesterday at
Recreation grounds with tears in his

one rr.an out.

Sir Thomas Lipton Well
Satisfied With Her
Performances.
Sixth Trial Spin' Proves to
Be Successful and
Satisfactory.
NEW YORK. Augr. ZL— The sixth trial
spin of the Shamrock II to-day, thanks to
a stiff breeze from the southeast, de
veloped into a speed trial over a measured
course, the results of which are consid
ered satisfactory by Sir Thomas Lipton
and his friends.
Sir Thomas said yesterday that when
Mr. Jameson arrived he would be In abso
lute charge of the yacht. He was on
board the Shamrock to-day and In charge
every minute of her trial. Judging from
the masterly way In which she was
handled.. Instead of going outside to ae&
he had the yacnt sent twice'up and down
the main ship- channel from the south
west spit to Staten Island and back,
almost every, mile of which is marked by
Government buoys, with the result that
by cimple calculations it was found the
yacht had traveled over certain portions
of the course at the rate of fourteen
knots an hour. Sir Thomas Lipton.
gauging her speed by that of the Erin,
claims half a knot more.
Passing the spit buoy soon after 11
o'clock, all hands clapped on the main
sheet and trimmed it down ¦ almost flat
for the close reach up the main ship
channel. As soon as she hauled up on the
wind the yacht jumped away at a twelve
knot rate and against- a three knot tide.
All the way up the channel she was
saluted by outbound steamers. '
Up through the Narrows and past Quar
antine the Shamrock sailed until 12:30.
Captain Sycamore then luffed her and
swung her around to the port tack for the
return trip. This first tack of the wind
ward work brought the yacht almost over
to Stapleton. Two more short tacks put
her through the Narrows. Afterward he
brought her out to Coney Island Point.
The picture the Shamrock presented aa
she opened out by the point and got the
full force of the breeze "was a magnificent
one. "With her lee rail buried In a smother
of foam and her deck wet half way up
to tho mast with flying spray, the yacht
gave rn f-xhibition of sailing that aston
ished those who were watching her.
Captain Sycamore then waited for slack
water, to get a better gauge on her speed.
When the channel was all clear of steam
ers he put her on the starboard tack, and,
easing sheets, went for the first mark,
the Southwest f?pit buoy. Gathering way
as she felt the strength of the breeze, the
green beauty sped away to the northwfwd
on her second trip, at steamboat speed.k
George L. Watson. William Jameson
and . Commodore Hilliard sat on deck
watching every detail of the spars, sails
and hull.
At 3 o'clock the yacht headed back to
Sandy Hook on the port tack, nearly
closehauled and with a fresher breeze
than she had before. Faster than ever
she traveled under its Influence, putting
her lee rail dowp to the water and often
taking little srreen seas over her lee bow,
until her deck was wet clear up to her.
mast coat and half way aft. The Erin,
coming up astern of her. was traveling
fifteen knots, and it took her nearly
fifteen minutes to overhaul and pass her
from a point about an eighth of a mile
astern. From this It was estimated that
the green yacht was traveling quite four
teen kots an hour for the five miles be
tween Coney Island Point and the South
west Spit buoy.
Sir Thomas Llpton. who remained on
board the Erin all day, seemed particu
larly pleased with his yacht's perform
ance.
JUDGMENT IS SHE ASIDE
HI FAMOTJS DIVORCE CASE
Mrs. Charles H. Smith, Who Was Her
Own Counsel, Secures a Par
tial Victory.
Mrs. Charles H. Smith may have an
other opportunity of displaying her ability
as a lawyer in her own divorce case. Last
Friday Judge Murasky set aside the
judgment secured by her husband and th«
sensational developments of the last trial
may again be brought to public notice If
the case again comes to trial.
In 1893 the Court granted Mrs. Smith
permanent alimony in a suit brought by
her husband, with an allowance for her
son Carlysle until he was of age. Last
year Mr. Smith, wiio is connected with
the Southern Pacific Company, brought
suit for a divorce on the -ground of cru
elty. Samuel M. Shortridge was Mr*.
Smith's attorney, but having had a &0
ference with his client he retired from
the case. As Mrs. Smith was unable to
secure other counsel sht> decided to act
as her own attorney.
Mrs. Smith's cross-examination of h^r
husband was so sensational that the at
tention of the entire community was fo
cused on the case. Mrs. Smith was taken
ill dnring the trial and according to her
statement -she stipulated with her hus
band's attorney to put the case over un
til after Christmas. She alleges that in
stead of carrying out his agreement At
torney "Walker took snap judgment
against her.

AMATEXJR BALL TEAMS
. TO TRY FOR STTPREMACY
BASEBALL GAMES ON
THE EASTERN DIAMONDS
The rank and file could see nothing In
the race but the Whitney entries," Nastur
tium and King Hanover, and opening at
9 to 5 they were quickly played down to
7 to 5 and 13 to 10. The Madden horses,
Yankee and Gun Fire, were ' a strong
second choice at 4 to 1, but the feeling
was not so strong for. this combination
when Blue Girl was scratched. Heno and
De Re?zke had a strong following at 10
to 1, while Barron, the much touted
maiden and Lux Casta, were also well
playe-1 at 12 and 15 to 1. respectively. The
others ranged in price from 20 to 25 to 1,
scattering bets being made on all of
them.
In the paddock the scene was a pretty
one. The candidates were being saddled
and fitted for the struggle, and a big
crowd watched, the final- touches. They
were a noble looking lot of thoroughbreds
The day was perfect for an outing and
thousands of lovers of the thoroughbred
were on hand to lend their voices to hail
the winner of the great race. Society was
put in force and the big grand stand was
packed to overflowing, while the broad
lawns and infield were black with people.
All the celebrities of the sporting world
were on hand and every walk of life
seemed to be represented. The, track was
fast and all the conditions j favorable for
a. true run race. Three races were
cided before the Futurity, but the interest
was plainly in the classic fixture, and the
crowd waited impatiently to see the start
of the 2-year-old parade past the stand on
the way to the post. The betting ring
was a seething mass of humanity. V The
layers of odds were besieged and a flood
of money poured in. It was almost im
possible to fight one's way near enough to
the layers to get a bet down.
NEW YORK, Aug." 31.— John E.
Madden's Yankee, at 4 to 1 in
the betting, won the classic
Futurity at Sheepshead Bay to
day, the richest fixture on the
American turf. He won driving by a
length and a half from what was perhaps
the best and nlghest class field . which
ever "ran for the stake. Lux Casta was
cecond, while Barron finished^ third. It
was' a great race,' and nobly won, and a
record breaking crowd of 30,000 . people
stood up In their excitement and wildly
cheered the victor.
RACING YACHT IS IU"
HANDS OF THE SHERIIT
Into the last furlong they came for the
heart-breaking dash to the wire. King
Hanover was gradually dropping back and
Odom sent Lux Casta to the front, close
ly followed by Pentecoet, Yankee, De
Reszke and Barron.- "The favorite la
beaten!" walled the crowd. "Lux Casta
wins!" shrieked those who were over
anxious to announce the result. But the
race was not over yet. O'Connor used
his whip on Yankee and the colt, respond
ing in the gamest manner, quickened his
stride and foot by foot crept up on the
flying leader. Odom was hard at work
with whip and spur on Lux Casta In an
Only at the post the crowd settled down
to wait for the flag. Eyes were strained
to watch the maneuvering for a start,
but except for those with strong glasses
it was a confused mass, the colors not
even being distinguishable. There were
two false breaks and the big crowd was
setting impatient for the word, when sud
denly -the familiar cry. of /'They're off!"
rang through the stand. It seemed to
electrify the crowd., At first it was a wild
scramble for position. Saturday was the
first to show, with King Hanover, Hyph
en, Yankee and De Reszke close at his
heels. It was a good start for all except
Heno, who wheeled as the flag fell and
was practically left. At top speed they
came to the bend Into the main track
like a line of cavalry and at that point
all eyes could see the blue with the brown
cap of Mr. Whitney's King Hanover on
the rail and a short neck before Pentecost.
Lux Casta, Yankee, De Reszke, Caugh
nawaga and Barron were well up and the
most prominent' of the others as they
flashed past the half mark. To every
one's surprise, however, Nasturtium, the
pride of the Whitney stable, was way
back in the ruck.
• First came King Hanover and Nastur
tium, in the blue and brown cap of Wil
liam C. Whitney. Next followed Yankee,
in the cherry and white hoops of John E.
Madden, and the racy looking son of Han
over-Correction, for whom Madden paid
$20,000 as a yearling, brought out words of
praise from many lips. Almost every
horse was applauded as he pranced along

as they moved restlessly around, as fit as
careful hands could make them. Gold
smith, Blue Girl and Carroll D had' been
scratched, but Homestead, Broad Street
and" Utopian were added, so a field of
nineteen paraded past the grand stand
and cantered up to the post, far up the
old Futurity chute.

effort to earn the coveted honors, but
Yankee, with long, even strides, Was not
to be denied. A hundred yards from the
wire the two were head and head. Lux
Casta hung on gamely and for a few
strides neither could claim an advantage.
. It was a stirring struggle, a bitter fight,
and the monster crowd was cheering and
shouting. Then came the cry "Yankee
wins!" as foot by foot he drew away and
passed under the wire a length and a half
in front. Lux Casta was an easy second
and JBarron, closing with a rush, earned
third money by a head from De Reszke.
Then came Pentecost, King Hanover, Gun
Fire and the others. Nasturtium was
tenth and far back. The time was 1:09 1-5.
¦ Then came the usual scene. The band
played "Yankee Doodle,"' the crowd hail
ed the winner and his Jockey, O'Connor,
took his place in the floral horseshoe,
The Futurity of 1901 was a matter of his
tory and long will live the name of its
gallant winner.
The stake was worth $36,910 to the win
ner. The second horse earned $4166 66, and
the third horse $2083 35. Two thousand
dollars went to the breeder of the winner,
$1250 to the breeder of the second horse
and $500 to the breeder of the third horse.
The total stake was $46,910. A. Feather
stone, whose jockey rode the winner, got
25 per cent of the winner's share for al
lowing O'Connor to ride. William C.
Whitney also had some balm in the fact
that he owns a half interest In Tankee,
although It was a keen disappointment
not to see his colors in front. Those at
the start say Nasturtium was off well,
but Jumped- at a dark spot In the track,
losing time and being shut out. Sum
