RESULT NOT SATISFACTORY Rigging Damaged by a Stiff Breezt Gold Reserve Statement Indian Troubles. New York. August 20. The first formal trial race (between ll'he Defender and the Vigilant to give the America's cup com mittee an opportunity to decide .which boat should foe 'the one to detent the cup, was held today outside of Bandy Hook In the same waiters that the cup raoa will take place Id, but ended very unsatisfactorily. The yachts raced not only to give the committee a line on it'hem, but also for the cup 'that John Jacob Astor offered to the Winner of itihecm ajorlty of races t1iat the committee should order. Tho win ner of ithe oup, Ihowever, will not usees. sarlly be the Defender of America's cup, One boat might beat ithe other three times straight a fid yet the America's cup com mlititee will have the absolute power and discretion in picking- the defender. The comimiutee might Ignore these trial race altogether if tihey so dhoose to do. It Is believed by yachtsmen that the commit tee ordered the trial races more In ths hope that Ithey would see the Defender In a giood stiff "breeze, If not a. hard wind. a condl'tion of things la which she has not had the opportunity of displaying her power. They came very near having the de sired view today, but they were forestall ed by an 'accident that prevented the De fender from really showing what she could do In a breeze that went over the water probably at the rate of 20 knots an hour. The breeze stirred up her rig ging so 'much and played such havoc among It that it looks to be loosened to a material ertten? up toward the mast' head and caused such damage that the Defender had to withdraw or take a lib eral chance at carrying away her top. mast. It was afterwards found that ithe slackening up of the rigging was eo ex tensive that ithe yacht would not be able to compete in the second trial race for a week. The committee decided tonight Vhat the next two trial races would take place on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. It Is a mystery to yachtsmen, especial' ly those who have given the closest at tention to the rigging of boats, why the Defenders stays weakened under breeze which enabled her to still carry her club topsail which she did when she stopped, and continued to do, all the way up the bay to her anchorage off Bay Kiage. GOLD RESERVE. Washington, August 20. The gold syn dicate today prevented the gold reserve from falling below the $100,000,000 mark. About 2 o'clock ithe treasury department was informed that J2.860.000 in B"ol had been withdrawn for export from the sub' treasury in New York. As the gold re serve tut the close of business today stood at 1102,527,146, the withdrawal would have reduced the reserve to $99,877,143. A few minutes afterward, however, Acting See rotary Ountls received ta telegram saying that J. .Plerpont Morgan, of the syndl caite, had deposMed $2,000,000 tn gold in exchange for greenbacks. This deposit swelled the reserve to J101.C77.148. Offl clals at the treasury department display no apprehension as to the gold reserve, and Intimate that tihe syndicate will con tinue to make deposits to offset the with drawals. But they decline to evpress tneir reasons for ithe belief. The question raised constantly is as to 'the pledge under which the syndicate is making these deposits and the period covered as well as tlhe ability of the syndicate to continue ito protect th re. Strve. But Boile light can be shed on this question, ihowever, as it Is said that probably only two government officials, President Cleveland and Secretary Car lisle, know ithe unwritten part of the agreement made by the syndicate which secured ithe laat Issue of bonds. The syndicate has so far voluntarily depos ited about $8,000,000 in gciid. The manner in which the syndicate has accumulated tlhe gold which It has voluntarily ex changed ait ithe treasury department tor greenbacks Is not absolutely known. The syndicate does not make public its op enations but at the treasury it is be lieved that most of it is obtained by giving exchange on Sat Francisco and by buying bullion checks. The circula tion of San Francisco is practically all gold. DELEGATES GOT ANGRY. Denver, August 20. The educational section of tlhe American Pharmaceutical Association continued Its sessions to diy. The delegates grew bitter and even extremely personal in the discussion of ithe question whether practical expe rience ought to be required of a grad uate of pharmacy. The newer school of education maintained that nowadays ntu d.cits put in their time selling cigars end sodu, 'waiter learning nothing Whatever about prescription work. Finally the matter was tabled without any declara tion on the subject. JACKSON'S HOLE TROUBLES. Investigation To Be Made by the Au thorities. Washington, August 20. -The question of what action should be taken by the government inv regard to "the killlns- of the Bannock Indians in the Jackson's He country on July 13 has been referr ed to the department of Justice. It Is un derstood that a communication on the subject was forwarded there today which recite the circumstances in the case. ira enas with a strong' recommendation for an lnvrtrst4on by the department. it s underwood tmtt ttie attorney gen eral will send special agents to Jack son's Hole aud that tit services of In dian inspector would be offered as as sistants. Agent Teator will probably not form a pant of the commission, as he has taken so (prominent a part In tho troubles that the settlers are greatly pre judiced against trim. It Is believed that the arrest of cental n settlers by ithe Unit ed States authorities has; been recommended. REPUBLICAN VICTORY. Senator Quay Wins the Philadelphia Prl marles. - Philadelphia, 'August 20. Thei Republi can primaries to select delegates to the state convention and to choose candi dates for the various city- officers iwere held tonight. The indications at midnight are1 that the Quay (action has certainly ejected 18 delegates and perhaps 22, with one or two districts and five additional dele gates still-In doubt. The anti-Quay peo ple concede the senator It votes. Never before la the history of the Republican party In this city has there been such a fight In Ithe primaries. The result was In some respects a surprise to Senator Quay himself, who did not expect to overcome the Influence that would be brought to hear against him In certain localities. - Tonight's contest practically closes the fight in - the state. lit appears almost certain that Senator Quay has won his fight for tho state) chairmanship with some votes to spare. A conservative es ttavaite gives him 160 votes l.t the con vention, 15 more than the number neces sary ito elect. SENATOR BRICE IN IT. Demlcrats 'Meet In Cleveland and Decide Ifor Gold. - Springfield, Ohio, August 20. When the committee on resolutions of the Dem ocratic state convention met tonight, ex- congressman frank nurd, who is as radical for the gold standard' as he is for tfree trade, was made chairman and it iwas found that there were only three free sliver men on ths committee out of 21 members. Tho other committees were strongly Brtce organizations. The comtni'titee on resolutions appoint' ed a sub-committee Of five to draw ud a platform on which the opposition was given a representation and which was Instructed to reaffirm the national finan. dot plank of 1892, which Senator Brlce says the president and) Secretary Car lisle had interpreted to mean .the gold standard, it was 'also instructed Ito endorse the Wilson ibiU and the national aumlnlsitra'tion and .the record of Sea ator Brtce.

THE GREAT REGATTA Weather Still Keeps Perfect and Everything; Is Gay. ASTORIA IS FULL OF VISITORS Today's Racing Will Include Some Spleudid Bursts of Speed Among; tho Boats. Yesterday proved to be another beauti ful regaotia day, though for several hours in the early morning everything looked dull and gloomy, wlthi a very Mghlt tast wind and a smoke and mist all over tihe river. At a little after 10 o'clock, how ever, the breeze freshened up, Wowing from a eoutihliresterly direction, and soon dlsstpalted the cCnuds. Before the Col umbine put out from her dock all the wharves we crowded with people, 'the grandstand toeing particularly well pat ronized. The city Itself was better dec orated and more lively tnan on tlhe pre vious day, and the regaiOta spirit seemed to have got hold of everybody in earntet. In adldltion Ito ithe hose race and cham pionship wet teat drill of the firemen on Shore the morning entertainment in cluded sevenall good rowing races on the river, and Ithe aHfetrnoon was well filled up (With some of the pr..tiest sailing contents t'hait have ever been witnessed ta this city. The breeze which had been gradually growing1 stronger up to noon, began to perceptibly stiffen after that hour and by 4 o'clock all conditions were most favorable to fast sailing. Throug-lnouit the day the Columbine was visaed by large numbers of people who went off In steamers and boalts to en Joy the. hospitality of the commodore for a ftw minutes. The Ashing boat race in the afternoon brought upon - the Judges moire work than they wunlted and it kept them busy ito obtain accurately and as quickly as was necessary, all In formation concerning? the boats as they flew by the starting point in warms. However, ithankg to a system of quick marking, no mistake were made and everylthlnsr went oft pleosanllly. In the aippearance of the crowds and the gen' era! aspedt of Jollity among them there seemed to be a considerable amount of enthusiasm which was much less no ticeable on the preceding ,duy. Photog raphers, urom the Staite'ly professional to the Kodak flend, were everywhere. They took pictures of almost anything that happened to suggest Itself and two or three of them were out In boats all af. ternoon trying In vain ito get a good shot at the big sloops In racing trim. They could not gwt dose eavoughi to make a good picture, and besides the water rcughenod up so much that lit was hard' ly ipossioie ito moid a tnpoa still for a moment. The Columbine's officers and guests were 'snapped" In good style during1 the afternoon. The governmen survey Steamer Llnooln took, a day off from her sounding work nd carried a large numb r of A<orlc's ladles and gentlemen to several points of Interest. In ithe afternoon the city band went aboard Ithe Columbine, while the band of the Fourteenth Infantry remained on the grandstand. Both organizations rendered some ext-eOlenit music, which was greatly enjoyed. Indeed, the general complaint seems to be Uhut the regimental band does ndt pday oflten enough, and It would possibly Ihelip matters on tihe wharves a Little if tits imernjbers were willing to be a QiittJle mnore generous In the matter of music.

Engineers (17 min. 57 ec) 1. Columbine (18 min. 27 sec.) 2. Manzanlta (18 min. 50 sec.) J. The Engineers had as coxswain Mr. Wlteon, and seven of them pulled in the gig, a beautiful little craft, formerly the racing gig of the U. S. S. Charleston. The Columbine and Marviznlta crews were Stoerid respectively by 'First ofll cers 'Lelghton and Wilkinson, and num bered five men each. The engineers gave their opponents a handicap of five and four minutes. On the start the Fort Stevens men Jumped Into the lead, fol lowed by the Columbine crew with the Manzanlta last, one length behind the middle boat. The engineers lost no time, but rapidly Increased their lead and at Booth's cannery had eight lengths to the good. She turned the buviy at 10:59:10. The Columbines turned at 11:0:15, and the ManzanUas Ave seconds later. After rounding the buoy the latf r rapidly be gan to overhaul the second place crew and succeeded In catching them when half way home. After a brl.f struggle Highest of all b Leavening Power. they forwed ahead and led the red and1 white pennant by three lengths. Cox swain Wilson In the Engineers' boat, came down home In the middle of the channel, thereby wasting a great dk?al of the strength of Ms crew, and seriously endangering' his time limit. However, ne won wilth her five minutes to spare, several lengths In front of the Manzanlta, whclh In turn was some distance ahead of the Columbine. LIFEBOAT SCULLING RACE.

Beyond the novelty of seeing" these pe culiar craft engaged In racing this event was a little tame and did mot arouse mudh emlthuslasm. The Point Adams hoys led the way after the first dozen Strokes and never lost It. They Increased their speed considerably aftf rounding the buoy for home, and pulling a fine levei oar, came In perfectly fresh about thirty lengths ahead of their rivals. SHIP'S DINGIE3. V. S. Engineers 18:101. ' ' ' Columbine 18:172. This event was pulled over the tihort course, round the red buoy and return. The Engineers had 'the Fort Btevens dlngvy manned by four men and four oars, while the Columbine's dingey had three men and six oars. This was one of the mo closely contested events of Itihe day. The two boats hung well to gether for half a mile, when the visiting crew drew out from the homo men. 6b turned the buoy 10 seconds ahead, but gained no furthor advantage, as one of her oars smashed and she was compelled to got along witli'out a substitute. From the time of this accident to the finish U was anybody's race, but the Colum bine's crew could not get ahead of Its opponent, and was forced to take a back seat. At the conclusion of this event the Fort Slovens Life Bavins; Crewi gave an exhibition which was most ex cellently carried out. They capsized) their boat and righted her In ntns sec onds on 'the first attempt, and In 6Vi sec onds on a second trial, a time that is considered remarkably fast. The tub race was thrown out of the program; only two boys appearing to enter, ano) neither having any knowledge of the art of "tub sailing."- 'SLOOPS, FREE FOR ALL. Columbia, 2:29:431.
