The hold up occurred three miles from Maple Park, Ills., aixmt midnight.

It is said there were five masked men engaged in the operation. u:n inline me rajn was due at Maple Park, robbers burs, intoi the station house and preeenllng re- I volvers at the head of the station agent j forced a gag Into his mouth and left him utterlv helr.1 then chang-Hl so that the train would be. compelled to stop before reaching the depot As soon as It came to a halt two of the men covered the engineer and flremen with revolvers and after un coupling the engine, compelled the en gineer to run down the track two miles. They then blew up the express car with dynamite, practically demolishing it and blocking the track. They then blew open the safe and rifled It. It Is not known how much money they secured.

The outlook was so gloomy from a money-making standpoint that some of the excursion boat which sold tickets for the series of race were trying today to redeem then with the Intention of abandoning their excursion altogether. Repeated postponement have also worn out the patience of the command ing owners of the two yachts. Sir Thomas Llpton and Commodore Mor gan each have company of invited guests" aboard their yachts. Experts estimate that the big club topsail which the Shamrock showed yesterday for the first time contains about S'1 mre square yards of canvas man the similar sail of the Yankee boat."
