New York. August 20. The first formal

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

head and caused such damage that the
Defender had to withdraw or take a lib
eral chance at carrying away her top.

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

It Is a mystery to yachtsmen, especial'

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been withdrawn for export from the sub'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

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.

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

it kept them busy ito obtain accurately
and as quickly as was necessary, all In

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.

could not gwt dose eavoughi to make a

during1 the afternoon. The governmen

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

The Engineers had as coxswain Mr.

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

the strength of Ms crew, and seriously
endangering' his time limit. However,

of the Columbine.

Fort Canby Crew (25 mdn. 10 sec.) 2.
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

considered remarkably fast. The tub
race was thrown out of the program;
