the steam yacht Erin, for. say, the two
months she actually is in service in
connection with the races. This was
estimated by a man familiar with the
subject at f'.O.ooo a month $00,000 in
all.
While Sir Thomas Lipton repeatedly
expressed his confidence in Shamrock
lll.'s ability to win back the America's
Cup. it appeared that his confidence
,was not shared by those who were ac
tively concerned in the management
of the Shamrocks. That Designer
Fife, who had a reputation at stake,
and who knew the challenger as a
fnther knows his child, had grave
doubts as to Shamrock HI.'s ability to
eope with Reliance was evidenced ry
the fact that under his orders the bow
pprit of the challenger was length

If it had been made before the yacht

after racipg contests, is as far oa as

But the New York Sun voices the
descent he is tall and slender enough
to be called a typical Yankee seaman,
and his cast of countenance would
confirm his claim to that title.

New York. Special The Internation
al yacht races hove occupied a great
deal of public attention. The first day's
work, on Thursday ww a complete
tailure, owing to the tsnse fog and a
lack of breeze. However the Amer'can
craft showed its ability to distance the
challenger.
The conditions on Saturday were
highly favorable for fine work and the
racing Is thus given by the Associate
Tress correspondent:
In a splendid 12 to 15 knot breeze,
over a windward and leeward course of
SO miles, the gallant sloop Reliance
Saturday beat Shamrock III in com
manding style, in exacting nine min
utes, actual time, or seven minutes and
three seconds after deducting the one
mlntite and fifty-seven seconds which
the defender concedes to Sir Thomas
Llpton's third challenger, on account
of the sailing plan of the measurements.
The natical sharps, who had already
made up their minds on Thursday that
the Reliance could take the measure of
the challenger in any kind of weather,
regard the day's test as conclusive, al
though they hardly anticipated so
overwhelming a victory. The race even
dampened the ardor of Sir Thomas,
who insisted, after Thursday's fluke,
that his confidence in the beautiful
craft designed by Fife was greater than
ever. Still, like a truo sportsman, he
does not acknowledge defeat, and
hopes for better luck next time. The
signal criticism he and his friends
make of Saturday's race is that the
nnlv shift of the wind which, occurred
was to the advantage of the defending
yacht. As this shift of the wind occur
red on the windward beat, even grant
ing that it accounted for Reliance's
lead at the turn, the time the Defender
made on the run home was more tnan
ample to have given her the race. It
must be conceded, however, that the
siiamrnplr showpd herself a wonderful
boat in beating to windward, perhaps
the- ablest craft in this respect that
was ever sent across the Western
ncMn nn a cnr- huntine expedition. For
12 miles the single-stickers raced like
a team of horses, and during tnat por
tion of the duel the patriots maae no
attempt to conceal tneir nervousness.
The racing conditions were ideal. A
thin haze hung over the Jersey shore,
obstructing the view of the spectators
gathered there, but out on the ocean
race-course the sea was flooded with
sunshine from a vault of fleckless blue.
A long ocean swell heaved up from the
south, and a 12-knot breeze, fresh and
ctrpturthenine. blew out of the south
west, throwing up fleeting white caps
on the sparkling bosom or. tne ocean
TVio marine nirtlire Was SUDerb.
As thp direction of the wind would
fd a windward course from
Sandy Hook lightship into the Jersey
shore, the committee was obliged to
spf the mark seven miles further out.

n ii Art era of an hour, and prevented the

Settlement of the Mln!nt Troubta la
the Birmingham District.
Birmingham. SpeclaL The board of
arbitration appointed to adjust mat
ters In controversy between coal op
erators and miner in the Blrmlnc
ham district, made Ita award through
its chairman. Judge Gray, of Dela
ware, at a late hour. After recit
ing the claims made by the miners
and the operators, respectively, the
report, about 1.400 words In length,
makes the following awards:
Minimum and maximum rate of the
sliding scale; the rates per ton for
mining ccal on the Pratt basis vary ac
cording to the selling price of pig
iron. 47 1-2 cents when pig Iron is
selling at 18 per ton. to 57 1-2 cenU
when iron is selling at 111.50 per ton.
The same proportionate increase Is
to be given on day wages for work in
and about the mines, but no in
crease is given by this award for nar
row work.
A semi-monthly payment cf wages:
From and after October 1, the earn
ings of day men shall be paid semi
monthly and such commissary checks
or credits as the operators may issue
to their employes shall not be trans
ferable, but shall be redeemable in
goods at the respective commissaries
upon which they are drawn only when
presented by the employes to whom
they have been issued or by some
member of their families.
Rates for narrow work: The total
of the maximum price on the Pratt
basis to be paid for work in head
ings, exclusive cf air courses, shall be
$2.71 per yard in lieu of $2.4 per
yard, the present rate; rates for
work in air courses to remain on the
present basis.
rn thA Kiibiect of differentia! be
tween machine and pick mining, the
board makes no conclusion, as insuffi
cient data have been presented on
which to form an intelligent award.
The board suggests that a committee
from both sides be appoimea lomase
experiments and fix a differential.
Minimum days or labor: i ne awaru
on this subject provides for a system
of fines to be imposed for absence
from work, except for sickness, or af
ter notifying and obtaining tlie con
sent of the mine foreman. An altera
tion of mining is a suspension for
work for a fixed number or days.
ATn who do not work 20 days in any
one month when the mine is in opera
tion 20 days or more snail oe nnea i
ripd the first six days in the
following month, or be assigned to an
other working place, lne nnes im
nnspd shall be collected through the
company's officers and be paid to the

bama) of the United Mine Workers of
America, on or before the 10th day or
each month. It shall be optional wiui
thP onerator to imDose fines or sus-
H?nd mine workers, or assign new
places, in cases provided for above.
Diffential between Pratt and other
mines: The differential in the rate
for mining coal at the Jefferson mine
and the Klmberly mine of the Central
Coal Company shall be reduced two
and one-half cents per ton, the yard

parties to this arbitration.
Shot to Death.
Henderson, Tex., Special. Jot San
ders, a negro accused of having at
tempted criminal assault on a young
girl Saturday night, was shot to death
Sunday by a posse of citizens which
went to arrest him. Sanders was stand

proached, holding a shot-gun. lie was
struck by four loads of buckshot.
Coodltloa of Cottoa.
The reat taaturinc rotten crop Is
probably more generally late than has
ben any crop for many years. It.
therefore, is an Interesting probkm
a to what extent and how Ute
may count on the "njuarrs" or
'form now assuming shap and yet
to appear. It has always bee a de
batable question how late in the fall
blooms may b counted on to prodac
well matured open bolls. Of course.
It depends finally on the date of the
first killing frost a cold suSciectly
severe to freeze the untimely and Im
mature bolls: and to some extent on
tho character of the weather imme
diately following. Every farmer is
sunmxM to know about wnai lime
such killing weather usually occurs.
It varies considerably, some years
ormrrinr a month, or eren six weeks
later than In other. I remetuber the
abnormal season of 1S49. There ere
onlv a few moderate freezes between
January 1 and March 1. The farmers
planted their crops of corn and cotton
Fome weeks in advance of the uttl
time. But on Aoril 15 a severe freeze
including sleet and snow In some fcec
tions of Georgia, destroyed every
stalk of cotton and corn and rvlned
the wheat and oat crops.
However, the crops were again
planted. the seasons following,
throughout the summer and fall were
all that heart could desire, and th
"killing frost" did not occur where I
was until late In December. Indeed,
I remember teeing cotton blooms on
the living plants on December 25!
The result was very fine yields of
both corn and cotton. Within the
last thirty-five or forty years I recall
but three or four years In which tho
traditional "top crop" amounted to
anything, although ita prsroUe waj
often used by the "bears" to pull
I down the market prices.
From Bulletin 33. issue! irom ins
office of Experiment station In l'J
I gather the following results of some
nntnKtnklnir ptiwrlmrnts. or rather
observations, made In South Carolina,
near Augusta, ua.
"Plant romtne un In Mav showed
the first 'squares' (forms) In from
twenty-five to thirty-nine days, the
averaeo helnz twentv-nlne davs from
the time of their appearance above
the surface.
" 'FtM-mB anocarlnc in May bloom
ed in twenty-one to thirty-two days,
averaging twenty-five dayR; forms ap
pearing In June bloomed In twenty to
twentv-seven davs. averaelne twcnTV-
seven days; forms appearing In July
bloomed In twenty to twentv-:ix
r1avs averaclne twentv-four days:
forma anneartne in Aueust bloomed
In twenty-one to twenty-seven days,
Averaeinr twentv- five davs.
"Blooms appearing In June made
open bolls In from forty-five to rmy
six days, averaging fifty-two days;
blooms appearing in July ma'le open
bolls In from sixty-four to seventy-ono
days, averaging sixty five days, and
blooms appearing In August rrado
open bolls In forty-six to forty-eight
days, averaging fifty-two days.
"Forms appearing May 24 made
open bolls August 9; forms on July
2 made open bolls October a. ani
forms on August 24 made open bolls
November 9.'
The reported results conclude as
follows:
"As killing frost occurs about No
vember 17, it would seem that the
latest blooms that can be counted oa
would be about September 1.
It does not appear, however, that
the concluding observation is qulto
justified by the previously stated ob
served results. It assumes that a
boll must become an "open boll be
fore a killing frost occurs. This la
not necessarily true, and as a matter
of fact Is not usually true. In other
words, a full-grown, well-matured boll
to not iiRuallv serlouslv lniured bv li
frost that kills the entlrs foliage of
the plants and all Immature bolls
Very many. If not all, of such bolla
will open good "white cotton" after
the frost, especially if the weather to
orxn and minnr for a week or ten
days. My observations lead me to
say that (in lattitude 33 degrees and
thereabout! the first killing Irost oc
curs at from November 1 to Novem
ber 10, and that blooma occurring
from September 1 to 10 may usually
he considered as safe to mature good
holls of white cotton, although tbee
bolls may not open until the first kill
ing frost. Atlanta Constitution.
