CUP RETAINED BY
AMERICA
Sir Thomas' Efforts to Cap
ture the Mug Result
in Failure.
THE RELIANCE EASILY DISTAN-
CES HER OPPONENT.
Runs Away From Shamrock in
the Third and Final
Contest.
New York, Sept. 5.The Reliance,
the American cup defender, yesterday
won the third and final race and the
series for that famous sea trophy,
the America's cup. In a dense tog
which prevented vision beyond 200
yards she finished the race at 5:30:02
amid the acclamations of the as
sembled fleet. Shamrock III., after
running more than an hour in the
fog missed the finish line, passed by
it and then returned to it from the
opposite direction. As Reliance was
then being towed through the fleet the
yacht's ensign fluttered through her
truck and spreaders in celebration of
'the victory. Shamrock III. did not
cross the finish line. As often said
of the race since America won the
trophy, there was no second. The re
sult was achieved only after
Four Futile Attempts
to sail off the final'race and after the
outcome had been admitted even oy
Sir Thomas Lipton to be a foregone
conclusion. Yesterday's was the
eighth attempt to sail a race. After
one fluke Reliance won the two follow
ing races, one by seven minutes and
three seconds, and the other by one
minutes and nineteen seconds,
A week ago yesterday the first at
tempt to sail the third race failed, and
attempts have been mu.de every day
this week. On these occasions Reli
ance led Shamrock to the finish line
by two miles, but failed to., reach it
before the expiration of the time
limit, of five and a half hours. Yes
terday's victory means that the cup is
destined to
Remain in America
until England is able to produce a
genius equal to Herreshoff in yacht
designing. Rarely, if ever, has there
been a more spectacular finish than
Reliance's yesterday. After racing for
more than an hour at terrific speed
through a blinding fog, Reliance burst
through the wall of mist upon the
vision of the spectators of the fleet
assembled at the finish line, and heel
ing under a great bellying balloon jib
topsail until her lee rail was awash",
flew across the finish line almost be
fore the spectators could determine
for a certainty that it was she. Once
more the Yankee boat had added to
the long string of victories in contests
for the honored old silver trophy that
carried with it the blue ribbon of the
sea.
A fleet of less that thirty vessels
went down to the familiar waters of
the international course to witness
this fifth effort of Reliance to cover
the course of thirty miles within the
time limit.
Outgeneraled by Barr.
The duel between the skippers be
gan at the sound of the preparatory
gun and continued during a series of
brilliant maneuvers in which Capt.
Barr again proved his splendid sea
manship, outgeneraling Capt. WrirTge
until the boats went across the line.
The boats were time at the turn as
follows:
Reliance, 3:30:35 Shamrock llr
2:41:45.
The Reliance had'gained 11 min
utes and 3 Seconds in the thresh to
windward.
The official time in the Shamrock
Reliance race is as follows:
Start. Finish.
Reliance 1:01:56 5:30.02
Shamrock III.. 1:02:00 Did not finish.
Better Boat Won, Says Lipton.
When the Erin kad discharged her
passengers last night and the re
echo of their cheers had died away.
Sir Thomas Lipton said:
"Two weeks ago I was hopeful
last week I knew I was doomed to de
feat, and was disappointed, but to
day I am almost glad in my own de
feat, this America has been such a
thoroughly generous victor. I want
again to thank the American people
for their generosity to me in de-
feat."
Regarding the defeat of ShamrocK
III. he simply said:
"I don't care to discuss it any more.
The American boat was the better
that is all."

THE DAILY
Lumber Offices May and
Not Be Removed to
Bemidji.
May
The Crookston Ti mes has the
following- to say on the proposed
removal of the general offices of
the Crookston Lumber company
from Crookston to Bemidji:
"Manager Richards of the
Crookston Lumber company,
when interviewed by a Times
man yesterday stated that there
was a probability of the removal
of the general offices to Bemidji,
but that nothing definite had as
yet been decided on. The change,
if made, would be for business
and in order to Lave the offices as
near the timber supply as pos
sible. The removal has been
considered for some time by the
officials of the company, and upon
his next visit to this city Presi
dent Shevlin will decide the mat
ter. The removal of the offices
would mean a considerable loss
to Crookston as several families
who now live here would move to
Bemidji. It is to be hoped that
President Shevlin will find it to
the best interests of the com
pany to leave the offices here.
There ere advantages both for
and against the removal, and a
meeting of the Commercial Union
will be called to consider the mat
ter and plan some way of keep
ing the management of the
Crookston Lumber company in
this city."
Climbing Mountains.
Is a fascinating and invigor
ating pastime. It developes not
the body only, but the mind. The
Alpine Peaks of Switzerland have
their counterpart in our own
country, in the Sierras, the Cas
cades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of
the United States is Mt. Ranier
in Washington, more than 15,500
feet high. Tins magnificent
mountain has 15 or more giant
glaciers creeping down its sides
and discharging their glacial de
tritus into the Columbia river or
Puget Sound.
A climb to the summit of this
is a mountaineering feat worthy
of any mountaineer. For 25 centf
Chas. S. Pee, Gen'l Passenger
Agent of the Northern Pacific
railway, St. Paul, Minn.will
send to any address an illustarted
booklet called "Climbing Mt. Ra
nier" describing a climb over gla
ciers to the top of the moun
tain.

Powdered Milk,
Chemists in the department of
agriculture are experimenting
with a new process for powder
ing milk. It is reduced to a
flour like substance that still re
tains the nourishment of milk
and can be kept indefinitely.
Skimmed milk, which has been a
waste product on the farm, will
assume new economic import-*
ance, as it makes splendid
powdered milk. If you are mere
ly attempting to sustain life,
powdered milk will serve very
well, but if you want to enjoy
life you will use -golden grain
belt beer. It nourishes the body
completely and besides is ex
ceedingly delicious as a table
beverage. You will be glad to
have a case at home. Order of

NO RACE SUICIDE.
Government Statistician Says That
the President Is Mistaken.
Washington, Sept. 5.Chief Statis
tician King of the census office ridi
cules the race suicide scare that was
started by President Roosevelt: He
says that- before long this country
will be confronted with the problem
of what to do with the people. To
prove his assertion Mr. King quotes
from the census returns of 19.00.- la
that year the enumerators found
2,049,132 children were born, and a
record of 1,039.094 deaths, or an ex
cess of birth of l.onj.048. This large
excess cf births was revealed despite
the fact that deaths are recorder!
with much more accuracy than births.
It is admitted that the percentage of
births not recorded is surprisingly
large.
Attempt on Magelsser.'s Life Due to
Private Grievance.

special to the Chronicle says: Ihfor

Beirut, which culminated in an al

Consul WiUiam C. Magelssea, was al

cording to the department's private
advices Magelesen had incurred the
enmity of certain citizens of Beirut
for personal reasons, and if thr-re was
any attempt on the vice consul's life
it grew out of this condition of affairs,
and was not a political ofa
