J. TOWER, Boston, Mass.
New York, October 17.—The cup
which tne .old schooner America won
bo commandingly against, all comers
across the seas, Will probably rema/iF
here another year, in defiance to the*
world. In a glorious breeze over a
windward and leeward course of
thirty mlliles, Columbia scored against.
Shamrock yesterday .in the first race
of the 1S91) series for the trophy. She
hounded across the finisli line fully a
mile and.a half ahead of the chal.
•lenger, defeating her by ten minutes
and eight ; seconds, corrected time,
after allowing the six seconds handi-
cap which Columbia must concede to
the challenger on account of her
longer Water line. It was a decisive
contest, a magnificent race, magnifi-
cently sailed and magnificently won.
Opinion as to the merits of the two
boats had been somewhat divided as
a result of tlie flukes during the past
two weeks. Although the prepond-
erance of expert opinion never
wavered in its loyalty to tlie wonder-
ful ability of the white flyer, no nau-
tical sharp expected that the Sham-
rock would be so overwhelmingly
vanquished as she was in today’s
royal struggle. The Yankee boat out-
generaled her at the start, heat her
helplessly in windward work to the
outward mark and gained twenty-two
seconds on the run home before the
wind. There was a good, strong ten
to twelve-knot breeze, and It held
throughout the race. It is undoubtedly
a hitter blow to the, English, for their
hopes of lifting the cup have never
been higher since The Thistle met the
Volunteer in 1887. Like the Sham-
tfl<| first hour’s sailing, regain
committee, as a result of the showing
made by Columbia today, are con
vinced that the cup is safe. Blow
high or low, Columbia, it is believed
by her manager, Mr. Iselin, can beat
Shamrock. Sir Thomas Tipton, like
the true sportsman that he Is, con-
fessed after the race that he had been
fairly beaten. He had no apology
make.
Suit for Persoim.1 Injures.
Beaumont, Texas, lOctober 17.—Suit
was filed in the district court Mon-
day by Ed Wilson against Charles
Clark & Co. for damages in the sum
! of $25,000 on account of personal in.
j juries alleged to have been sustain—d
] by plaintiff while in the employ of
defendant, as the result of the negli-
gence of another employe. Accoroling
to the statements of the petition the
plaintiff was engager! as engineer on
the dredge operated by the defendant
company and in the discharge of his
duties climbed up on a ladder to in-
spect some electric lights, and while
he was in that position Harry Mack
another employe, who was operating
the machinery by which the ladder
was raised and lowered, turned on
the power, causing the ladder to sud-
denly drop downward so that the
plaintiff fell and hs hand was caught
in a pulley and so badly lacerated as
to render amputation necessary.
Plaintiff alleges, among other things,
that he had been able before receiv-
ing tlie injury complained of to earn
$100 a month as engineer and in ad-
dition to the loss of his earning capa-
city has suffered and must continue
to suffer great mortification and men-

Capetown, October 10.—There is sh
unconfirmed rumor that the imperial
forces interrupted a body of Boers who
were attempting to center the Boer
forces at Modder river and that a
heavy engagement occurred at Spytz-
fontein station, south of Kimberly.
Boer tents have been discovered
eight miles south of Kimberly. Great
clouds of dust seen ten miles to the
eastward of Kimberly this morning
seem to .indicate the movement of a
large body of troops with wagons.
Two imperial officers at midday also
discovered a column of 400 Boers go-
ing in tlie direction of Modder river
