Failure of Reliance to Win lg Espe-

Her Superiority, and Sir
Thoniae Has Lost Hope.
H ERRESHOFF, ORE ATEST BUILDER
New York, Aug. 31.—Again today
the beautiful cup defender Reliance
failed to register her third victory
over Upton’s challenger because the
wind died to nothing and the time
limit of five and one-half hours ex-
pired before she could reach the finish
line.
Her margin was approximately the
same as on Thursday last. She wus
less than half a mile from the finish
when the gun sounded. The Sham-
rock III was a faint blur on the hori-
zon, fully two and a half miles astern.
The Reliance's failure to score was
the more exasperating because her ul-
timate victory is now conceded, even
by Sir Thomas himself, to bo Rlmply
a formality.
The superiority of the Herreshoff
boat in any kind of weather is ac-
knowledged by the yachting crftlcs of
both sides of the Atlantic, and today's
fluke only prolonged the agony of the
contest that has already been de-
rided.
The autumnal storm which had kept
the Reliance aud the Shamrock forty
seven hours within the shelter of
Sandy Hook hay subsided sufficiently
this morning to enable the two racers
to venture once more Into the open
sea for the races for the America's
cup.
The gale, however, had left a heavy
swell so that the two boats, when they
turned the point of Sandy Hook, he
gan to roll and wallow liko a couple of
coal linrges.
Dark clouds seemed to threaten rain
at any moment.
The decision to start the race was
accepted with favor on all sides as
the Interest in the races had been well
dampened,
Sir Thomas Gives Up.
New York. Aug. 31.—Sir Thomas
Upton, aboard the Brin, declared to-
day that he would never challenge
again for the America's clip until a
man bad been found in England who
equaled Nat Herreshoff in yacht build-
ing. The baronet admitted his disap-
pointment at his failure and frankly
said that he had no hope of winning
even a single race. He said:
"American brains and development
have us beaten. If, the day ever comes
when England produces a Herreshoff,
then I will challenge for the cup again.
It will not be until then. It is un-
pleasant to be compelled to admit It.
but the firalns in boat building are on
this side ef the water. Herreshoff is
a wizard! His work is wonderful.
None can have admired Reliance more
than 1 have. She is the best boat by
all odds and has won on strict merit.
I am a most disappointed man. My
hopes were high when I left home,
for I surely believed we would carry
back the cup.
“Yesterday's fluke only prolonged
the agony for me. I do not want to
win on any slips, and I regretted Re-
liance’s failure to get over the line as
much as any one could."
Sir Thomas was asked why It was
that Shamrock III was not given more
sail area. He replied that hetrusted
everything regarding constructing and
designing to the best of England's tal-
ent. He complimented Captain Barr
and said that be had no fault to find
with the way in which Shamrock had
been handled.

Boston, Aug. 31.—There was a gen-
eral resumption of work today in the

tion. Cotton mills also in various
spetjpns resumed after periods of cur-
tailment of idleness on account of the

never departed from its original posi-
tion in the matter, and never has
had any intention of giving up these
men.

Wade at Canton, under date of July

WAITING ON PRINCE FERDINAND
Sofia, Aug. 31.—111 both official and
revolutionary circles the opinion is
freely held that war between Bulgaria
and Turkey is imminent ami can be ]
averted by nothing short of a miracle.
It Is not expected that either govern
ment will formally declare hostilities,
but that the prevailing conditions will
force on war.
There Is no question that large num-
bers of volunteers for the insurgent
armies huve recently crossed the fron
tier. An extensive outbreak In north
ern Macedonia Is possible at any time.
The’ Autonomy prints a telegram
from Constantinople deelarlng that the
sultan, Influenced by the counsels of
Germany, now favors war with Hulga
rla. The Turks here, however, take an
optimistic view, asserting that ther<-
is no danger of war, as Turkey does not
desire oue and Prince Ferdinand and
the present Bulgarian government are
not in position to foree hostilities.
The Bulgarian agent at Uskuli re-
ports that the detachments of Turkish
troops sent to garrison the small towns
in .that vlluve.t. have spread destruc-
tion along their route the villagers
linve been robbed and beaten, the wo-
men viola,ed. and the Christian popu-
lation subjected to every outrage, while
the local authorities appear to lie help
less to stop the atrocities. At the vil-
lage of Dacheve, bIx miles from Uskuli,
the Rotdlorp attacked all the peasants
without the gendarmes interfering on
lie half of the latter.
