SHAMROCK LED
FOR A TIME
Hut tbc Columbia Passed Her Before
the Turn and Came Over tbc Fin
ish Line by About Six and One
Half Minutes.
Nkw Youk Oct. 20. Tho conditions
of wind and weather in this city at 8 :IiO
u. in. today wue encouraging tor calling
tlio international yacht rnce. At 0
o'clock the Bun drove awny the gray
clouds that earlier had been flinging
down drops of nasty inaietuie and there
was promise of a day of sunshine, good
bruczo and a racing ecu, a combination
that has not been prevalent during the
unfortunate trial days. The wind at
that hour was Bplundid, blowing fully
fifteen milue.
It was nearly half poet 0 o'clock when
observers uour the starting lino saw the
white wings of the yachts appearing out
of the hsz i and jumpinc along under n
spanking breeze toward the lightship.
The Shamrock pushed tier nose through
the fontn as if the breeze had been uinde
expressly for her. The Columbia Bat up
etraighter and looked a trifle more dig
nified. Tlio yachts jumped out of the
sinoothe water of the Hook into the
choppy sea under their own sails, as if
rejoicing in their ability to move no
rapidly.
AtlOi-15, when tho preparatory gun
was fired, Columbia was Bbooting up to
the windward of tho Bturting line on a
starboard track. She carried mainsuilB
and jib only, but had her staysail in
Htops ready to break out. The white
boat heeled over so that her lee rail was
unlcr witter all the time, and the spray
flow ovor her sharp bowe.
Tho Shamrock was half a mile south
ot tho lightship, but when Hogarth saw
Hiuoke, he fetched tho Shamrock about
and hurried to get to the weather of tiie
line. The Columbia had in the mean
time come about and run down to meet
her rival, and then coming about again,
reached to the windward ahead of tbe
challenger. Both boats broke out fore
stay sails when the warning gun was
fired at 10:65 a. in.
Tbc Coming Strike.
St. Paul, Oct. 10. A general strike
on the Great Northern will probably oc
cur within a few days. It will include
conductors, engineers, firemen, brake
men and switchmen, and tbe men ex

In the great strike of five years -ago, the
conductors held aloof, but thoy have
been brought into the present trouble by
a recent order requiring them to pay for
bonds covering damages to trains under
their cbnrgo, The list of grievances
given by the men is a Icing one, and they
claim to have been unable to secure any
thing like satisfaction from tlio manage
ment. Since last March grievance com
mittees have been almost constantly in
this city trying to reach some agreement
with tbe railway officials, but without
reHult.
