NEW YORK, Aug. 23. In a glorious
-wholesale breeze over a triangular course.
ten miles to a leg, the fleet-footed cup
defender Reliance again today showed her
heels to Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger.
taking the second race of the cup series
of 1903 by the narrow margin of one mln
ute and 19 seconds. It was as -pretty and
hard-fought contest as has ever been
sailed off Sandy Hook, and had the wind
not fallen during the last ten minutes,
tho record for the course, three hours 12
minutes and 15 seconds, made by the Co
lumbia two years ago, In her memorable
race against the Shamrock II, would have
been beaten. As It was, the Reliance sailed
the SO miles within two minutes and 39
seconds of the record, which speaks won
derfully of her speed in the wind that
was blowing.
British Skipper Make Bad. Start.
The Reliance's victor-, narrow as It
was, would have been smaller had not
Captain Wrlnge, the skipper of the Brit
lsh ship, bungled at the start, sending his
craft over tho line 19 seconds after the
last gun, and handicapping her to that
extent.
At every point of sailing, the defender's
superiority was demonstrated. She gained
one minute 55 seconds In windward work,
40 seconds on the run to the second mark.
and 45 seconds on the close reach for
home. Based on the magnificent showing
she has made In the two races already
sailed, It Is the belief of many experts that
the cup Is safe, and It will take some
thing better than Fife's latest creation
to "budge it.
Great Excursion Fleet.
An assemblage of excursion vessels al
most as large as that of last Saturday
poured down through the narrows and out
Into the broad Atlantic today to witness
the vanishing glory of the challenger. The
early morning had held out little hope of
a race. A smoky haze hung o-er the sea.
and the wind was very light from tho
south. But, as tho day wore on, the cur
tain lifted slightly, the wind blew strong
and clean out of the south and the danc
Ing swell sparkled under the radiance of
an August sun. Off to the west and north,
the low ramparts of the Jersey and Long
Island shores could just be discerned
through the thinning curtain.
The excursion fleet, like a floating city
built on the floor of the ocean, lined up
rail to rail In a great semi-circle to -wit
ness the start. The course was a beat duo
south Into the wind for ten miles, then
a broad reach or run, as' the case might
be, off toward the Chotera banks and
thence home again to the old red hulled
lightship.
Jockeylnjc for the Start.
The spectators watched tho Jockeying
for the start with eager Interest. It was
hair raising to see what close company
the giant single stickers kept. It seemed
momentarily as- If the spars and hulls
would clash, but they wheeled and circled
like gulls, taoklng. gybing and putting
about across the line, close-hauled for
the thresh to windward. It was seen that
the American skipper, by his extremely
clever work, had again outgeneraled his
rival and secured the weather gauge.
Not only was the challenger's captain
defeated In his effort to secure the wind
ward berth, but he actually failed to cross
in time to save a handicap, an almost
unpardonable offense In a cup contest.
Barr never relinquished his advantagi
after the start, holding the challenger
under his lee all the way to the first
mark.
Wind Steadily Increases.
As the clean-limbed racers got farther
out, the weight of the wind steadily in
creased and the waves began to spill
froth from their green crests. Both boats,
with everj- stitch of canvas set. smashed
Into the seas, heeling down In the puffs
under the press of thousands of yards of
light canvas until their lee rails were
awash in the foaming brine. Their crews,
piled up to weather, were repeatedly del
uged with the showers of spray sent
aloft by their shark-like bows.
Slowly, but surely, the thousands aboard
the observation fleet saw that the Reli
ance was gaining, opening a wider stretch
of water between her and the challenger.
The excursion fleot does net go to this
mark. In obedience- to the regulations laid
down to govern its movements. As soon
as the Reliance rounded, the patrol flotilla
blew their whistles and clanging bells in
the engine-rooms sent the whole fleet at
full speed to leeward of the last leg of the
course.
On the Last Lec-.
There, the.vast concourse of steam craft
lay wallowing In the trough of the sea
until the yachts, bowling. 'liong at a
terrific pace, turned thj "second mark.
The Reliance sailed this leg of ten miles
In 56 minutes 20 seconds. Then the fleet
started for the finish line, steaming a
course parallel with that of the flying
achts. This last leg was covered at
roaring speed, the Reliance still, increas
ing her lead with her wake streaming
alee, a path of dancing white on the deep
blue bosom of the sea. Just before the
finish the wind died down but the Reli
ance went across in ample time to win,
having covered the ten miles in 57 minutes
40 seconds. ,
There followed the usual riot of whistles.
mingled with the wall of sirens, the clang
of bells and the exultant shouts of pa
triots and the booming of cannon. The
Shamrock was about a mile astern and
crossed four minutes and 40 seconds later,
to a repetition of the noise, which had wel
comed the Reliance's victory.
Squall strikes Observation Fleet.
Then the great observation fleet headed ,
back to New York at top speed, not wait
ing to follow the racers. And It was well
that It was so. Before half the fleet had
reached the upper bay a green gray squall
out of the northwest, raising a curtain of
spray as.it came, struck the fleet, bring
ing grief to many excursionists and car
rying away yacrjt and steamer awnings
and top hampers generally.
It was a hard day for tho overworked
newspaper reporters. The experience of
two years ago demonstrated the uncer
tainty of all wireless telegraphy, but no
one was prepared for the utter collapse
of the system which occurred . today.
There were four competing systems, three
of which were most active. The atmos
phere above the triangular course was
beaten Into hopeless confusion so that tho
Marconi system, with all Its careful prep
aration, was available for but a single
message throughout the entire day. It
would not have been so exasperating if
the rival companies had been honestly
striving to send their own bulletins, but
much of the Interference was obviously
malicious. The wireless telegraph system.
the fleet of small boats carrying the news
from the course to the shore, and a line
of xjiore observers along the Jersey and
Long Island Coast were used to carry the
news of the race, but all three systems
proved a failure.
Haze Blocks View From Shore.
Before the yachts had reached the first
turn a thick haze overspread the course,
and shut them entirely from the view of
the shore observers. Then some Indulged
In a guessing match and one of Marconi's
opponent companies professed to have re
ceived a message giving the hour, minute
and second at which each boat turned the
first mark. This wan ."well enough- until
.ue uuiciiu iime was ootainea xrom the
committee boat, and then It was disclosed
that this so-called wireless company was
publishing bulletins from shore observa
tions and wild guesses that had not been
transmitted by wireless telegraphy at alL
TACTICS, SAME AS IN LAST RACE.
Reliance Relics on Outpointing,
Shamrock on Footing Faster.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23. When the yachts
reached the starting line shortly after 10
A. M., the wind was south-southeast and
blowing about four knots, not enough to
send them over the course within the time
limit, but there were Indications that
there would be enough wind later.
The preparatory signal was fired at
10:43, the warning gun at 10:55, and the
starting gun at 1L The navigator sig
naled that the race would be over a
triangular course ten miles to a leg, the
first leg south, the second, northeast by
east, half east, the third northwest by
west, half west- The wind at that time
was due south, and had begun to freshen.
In tho preliminary Jockeying, Captain
Barr, of the Reliance, got the windward
position, blanketing the Shamrock III,
and clung to It through various maneu
vers until the warning gun had been
fired, when Captain Wrlnge had got clear
of the Reliance.
Costly Bunc-lln-; for Shamrock.
At the sound of the gun, the Shamrock
III bore -off to leeward and away from
the Reliance, while Captain Barr tacked
under the stern of the navigator as the
starting gun was fired, and crossed the
line only 36 seconds behind the gun. The
Shamrock kept away from the line almost
until the handicap gun. then tacked and
crossed it handicapped by 19 seconds, for

gaalzed tonight with W. L. Flnley, of
Kenton, as chairman, and E. C. Madlgan,
of Cleveland, as secretary, both Johnson
men. The Johnson men controlled all the
committee meetings tonight as firmly as
the, afternoon meetings, but the Zimmer
man men fought at every point, and will
present minority reports to the conven
tion tomorrow on everything.
While Johnson still advocates John H.
Clark, of Cleveland, for Senator, it Is be
lieved that the names of G. M. Saltz-
gaber, the temporary chairman of the
convention; ex-Representative Lentz and
others will be presented, and there is
much talk about nominating John W.
Bookwalter, notwithstanding his with
drawal. Charles H. Constantlne, the close
friend of Bookwalter, late tonight issued
another statement that Bookwalter would
decline if he was named for Senator.
C. C. Philbrick, one of the close coun
sellors of Johnson, called on Zimmerman
tonight and offered him the endorsement
for Senator If he would withdraw and
make the nomination of Johnson unani
mous. Zimmerman would not entertain
the proposition. The committee on cre
dentials tonight followed the action of
the old state central committee in dispos
ing of contests. The committee on reso
lutions had an all-night session, although
printed copies of the platform were
brought here by the Johnson men from
Cleveland.

COL'CJMBUS, O., Aug. 25. The prelim
inary meetings this afternoon and even
ing of tho Democratic State Convention
resulted In favor of Mayor Tom I. John
son, of Cleveland, in his contest with John
L. Zimmerman, of Springfield, for the
gubernatorial nomination. Mayor John
son had uncontested control of the Dem
ocratic State Committee-last year at San
dusky, and the committee selected then.
In Its call for this convention, provided
that the credentials from all the counties
were to. be submitted first to the state
central committee.
Pursuant to this new requirement, the
state central committee that was selected
at Sandusky last year met today and
passed upon the contests that affect 145 of
the 6D0 delegates, In favor of the Johnson
men, who thus had the odds In their fa
vor when the delegates met later by Con
gressional districts to select members of
the committees on credentials, resolutions,
etc.
Tho Johnson men secured most of the
members of the new stato central com
mittee which holds over to call the state
convention next year, when delegatcs-at
large to the Democratic National Conven
tion will be selected, and an Indorsement
be made for the Presidency.
Antl-Johnnon Men Thrown Ouf.
The state central committee, in consid
erlng the contests from counties In alpha
betical order, first decided to report -to
the committee on credentials by viva voce
vote that there was no contest from
Cuyahoga (Cleveland), and then on a de
mand for a roll call It was decided by a
vote of 14 to 7 that there was a contest
from Hamilton County (Cincinnati).
Tho result of this action was that the
First and Second Districts at Cincinnati,
which are anti-Johnson, were prevented
from voting in the organization of the
committee and the convention, while tho
Twentieth and Twenty-first Districts at
Cleveland were enabled to take part. The
stato central committee referred the con
tests in four other counties to the com
mittee on credentials without recommend
atlon. These counties are in different
Congressional districts, and those districts
proceeded to select members of the com
mlttee without contesting counties taking
part, the result being thus favorable to
the Johnson men.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug. 23. The
Populist stato convention was called to
order at 8 o'clock tonight by Chairman
W. R. Weber, of the state central com
mittee. Judge Parsons, of North Platte,
was named as temporary chairman.
The temporary organization was maae
permanent, and the convention at once
proceeded to the nomination of a ticket.
T. H. Tlbbells nominated Judge John J.
Sullivan. Democrat, present Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court for the office of
Supreme Judge, and he was chosen by ac
clamation.
After a lively discussion the convention
decided to notify the Democratic conven
tion at Columbus of the nomination ot
Judge Sullivan. There was some bitter
ness In the discussion, one delegate in a
fiery speech insisting that the Populist
convention should work independently.
The Fuslonlsts, however, showed a de
cisive majority on roll call. A committee
on resolutions was then named with T. H.
Tlbbell3 as chairman.
The convention then nominated without
opposition Professor W. A. Jones, of
Adams County, and Dr. E. O. Weber, of
Valparaiso, for Regents of the State Uni
versity. Both nominations were made by
acclamation. Sullivan is a Democrat and
the other nominees are Populists. The
platform reaffirms allegiance to the prin
ciples of the People's party, "as expressed
In Its National Platform, hut recognizes
that the election this year Involves no
National politics. It does, however. In
volve the right of the people to have the
Supreme Court of the state kept free from
the control of any evil influence."
It condemns the action of the Republi
can state convention In its selection of a
candidate for Supreme Judge, "selected
months In advance by tha railroadlobby,"
and protests against lEe" "domination of
corporate Interests in the court which
finally determines the right of the citizen
to his life, property and liberty and the
redress of his wrongs," urging the people
to "prevent these selfish Interests from
subverting our highest Judiciary."

COLUMBUS, Neb., Aug. 25. The Demo
cratic state convention was called to order
at 8:30 tonight by Chairman Hale, of the
State central committee, who, after a
brief address. Introduced George L.
Loomls, of. Fremont, as temporary chair
man. Loomis was .enthusiastically re
ceived, and at once announced the nomi
nation by the Populists at Grand Island
of Judge John J. Sullivan for Supreme
Judge. Chairman Loomls then addressed
the convention.
The convention tonight reaffirmed the
Kansas City platform.
The temporary organization was made
permanent and W. R. Thompson, fusion
.andldate for Governor In 1902, was made
chairman of a committee of nine on reso
lutions.
William J. Bryan addressed the conven
tlon at length. He eulogized the young
men of the country and said the hope of
Democracy rested in them.
Chairman Loomls then announced that
nominations for Justice of the Supreme
Court and two university regents was in
order and a delegate named Judge John
J. Sullivan for Supreme Judge. Mr. Bryan
seconded the nomination in a brief speech,
and Sullivan was named by acclamation
amid much enthusiasm. The Populist
candidates, W. O. Jones and R. O. Weber,
for Regents of the State University, were
nominated by unanimous vote.
Judge Sullivan was escorted to the con
ventlon, and made a brief address, follow
ing which the convention adjourned, after
adopting the report of the committee on
resolutions.
The resolutions reaffirm the Kansas
City platform and contain the following
planks on national affairs:
"We denounce the National Republican
Administration for its failure to carry
out its promises heretofore made and Its
subservience to special Interest at the ex
pense of and detriment of the Interests of
tho public at large.
"We are opposed to any form of asset
currency legislation and to any legislation
of the character of the Aldrich bill."

GENESEE. N. Y.. Aug. 23. Governor
Odell addressed the Pioneers' Association
of Livingston County at its picnic here

the present general industry, turned his
attention to that part of David B. Hill's
speech last week at Olcott Beach, N. Y
In which Mr. Hill referred to "spectacu-
larism. In this connection Governor
Odell said:
"Those who seek only personal ambition
and political advancement are too often
led to public utterances which breed dls
content in the hope that through the
misery of the people they may secure the
consummation of their own selfish de
sires. Such men, while professing patriot
ism and respect for our laws, are rather
encouraging those un-American doctrines
which are the outgrowth of despotic
European governments.
"That man, therefore, whose unrequited
political ambition caused him to look
on rvery man as his foe, whose character
Is so black that he Is led, through the
circulation of malicious falsehoods and
slanders to pull down others to his own
level. Is possessed of a disease more dan
gerous to society than homicidal Insanity,
more to ne pitied than to be censured.
