dlsawointed because the sea had re
fused a field of combat to the racers.
Nevertheless the crowd was jubilant
in the conviction that 'Sir Thomas Lip
ton's latest challenger was doomed to
return to England empty handed.
Of course -the race today was not ab
solutely conclusive owin to the light
and shifting character of the air, but
In a fifteen mile beat to windward, a
portion of which was sailed in a driv
ing rain, the cup defender Reliance
showed her heels to the Shamrock III
in a commanding style, and that too,
in weather conditions which were sup
posed to be the'particular liking- of the
challenger.
Yet today, .with "the breeze varying
from one to twelve knots, and against
a long ground swell, the defender out
footed and outpointed , the Shamrock
1IL The Shamrock did not turn the
outer mark and there is, therefore, no
way of knowing absolutely how badly
she was beaten, but It was estimated
that she was more than a mile astern,
or about sixteen minutes. As a result
of the trial, the -experts believe the

k TWO-SIDED STORY
ANOTHER VERSION OF THE DIS
GRACEFUL, RILEY-PARK-
HURST. SCANDAL. ,
It appears that . there is more dan
one version of . the disgraceful scene
which took place fh Portland la few
weeks ago In which Mr. and Mrs. Eliot
Parkhurst and Harry Rlle, ex-convict
were principal actors. The substance
of one story is that, -while the three
were returning home I one evening,
Riley, without any warning, struck
Parkhurst and then taking Mrs. Park
hurst, left the city for parts unknown.
The other side of the tase from those
who claim to be in a position to know,
puts a different' light upon the strange
conduct of the ex-convict toward his
friend. Riley and Parkhurst were re
turning from town together that even
inlg. - Both had " been drinking . and
Parkhurst was drunk. Parkhurst had
a habit" of beating his wif e when In
toxicated .according to the story of his
neighbor and. as the two were Hear
ing the Parkurst . home, Mrs. . Park
hurst came out :; to meet them. " , She
was soon engaged In i a quarrel with
her drunken husband and was-struck
by him several times before the- ex
convict took . part . In the bout. ' Mrs.
Parkhurst went that night to the home
of friends and her protector has not
been seen since- ..-"
