THE 111" TIES KOBE IN THE TUNING UP FOR THE AMERICAN CUP DEFENDER FIGHT REVIEW OF RACES With a Sketch of the Big Contest To Be Pulled Off With Sir Thomas Lipton Associated Press Boat off Green wich, Conn., by wireless-June 6. The Vanitie this afternoon defeated the Resolute in the fourth race be tween the cup defender candidates. The ofhcial finishing times were; Vanitie 6:26:29. Resolute 6:32.21. Tho official elapsed times: Vanitie 5:09.29. Resolute 5:15:21, Vanitie wins by C minni c i, 52 sec onds elapsed time. Review of thc Hr-es. New York, June ti.-With thu paus ing of thc first lew timing up tests of the trio of yacht: striving for thc honor of defending Hie American cup. for the all-summer series of race? which will evolve the .successful can didate to be chosen by the cup com mittee from the Resolute, Defiance and Vanitie. During thc coming week, the yachts will pa3r from Lang Is land Sound to thc ocean course off Sandy Hook for threo torts under the sterner conditions over tho same course which will be used in the cup races. There will follow a week de voted to repairs and changes in thc yachts to be succeeded by two weeks more of Sound racing. All of these events of which there are eleven on the schedule will bc of a preliminary nature. In fact hey have been arrang ed more to get the boats In condition for the more serious tests off Newport in July and August, when the Ameri can's cup committee will sit in judg ment on the performances and select the best boat to meet the Shamrock IV. The start for all thc racing in the Sound will bo off Great Captain is land near the entrance of the harbor of Portchester. Half a dozen courses of from 20 to 30 miles euch have been laid out. some of which will carry tho yachtB down the Sound beyond Stam ford, while others will take them well up to Execution Rock und over to the Hempstead shores Wjkh etarts off Qreat Captain Island lt will be possible to lay a fifteen mlle course to the windward in case the breeze is from th" prevailing direction. Louth weat. Eleven years ago the three cup yachts, Reliance, Constitution and Columbia were given numerous trial races In this part of the Sound, but the stans were off Long Island shore near the Matlnicock Point, and it was found difficult to send the boats to the windward on the first leg. By agreement between the managers and the regatta committee of the New York Yacht club fifteen minutes will be allowed between the starting sig nals for the fight for position. ' Two minutes will be given for the yachts to start and tn that brief period each boat will be timed to the second, aa ehe crosses the line. If she is late, her ttme will be taken at starting at the end of two minutes, although she may be three, five or even ten minutes behind. The struggle for the best places at the line, the weather berth if the first leg ls to thc windward, a snug place away from the others with tho wind in the clear If the course ls to the leeward, is the supreme test of the sailing master and many a race has been won br lost, through success or failure at the outset. The helamen of the three yachts George M. Pynchon on the Defiance, Charles P. Adams, 2nd, on the Reso lute; and William Dennis on the year will be in watching the game played by these cool, calculating skippers. It ia a rare game-this handling of a big yacht especially tn a breeze while even In soft weather the very best of judgment ls required.' Each as he stands at thc wheel most know just where his own boat ls, how fast' she ls going, where the other yachts are and how fast they are sailing. He must know when his own boat has the right to be, and when his opponent must give way and in a tight place, not to take an mph or conc?de one, or the race ls lost. No fixed plan of campaign will bear the test under all conditions. With the big yachts the skipper most have help, and the assistance of a cool man witb the watch and another to watch the opposing yacht Is of.paramount Im portance.

Washington. lune 6.-The senate to day adopted a joint resolution for the appointment of five senators and *ive representatives to attend the un ?All ing In Hollywood cemetery at Rich mond. Va., of a monument over the grave of Former President John Tyler. Big in Dull Times. Cleveland Leader. lt is easy to show by Impressive figures that the volume of commerce and industry in thc Cnlted States is immense, even whille business men complain of dull times. It. ls not at all difficult to present facts which prove that llits'country is leading thc world today in many branches of pro duction and trafile. American supre macy hos become too well established to be lost in a period of uns a'! ?fac tory business. ' . The trouble Is not so much that the country has lost ground as li is that there has been no such advance ah should have been made. It is not that traffic and production have become small, but that they ought to be much larger. In some lines of industrial and commercial activity there has been a disappointing and unnatural luck of growth. Nothing that is pas| can satisfy American demands upon thc future. What has been done Is never enough to measure satisfactorily Mic business of today and business plans for to morrow. Roosevelt In Paris. Parir?, June C.-Col.

THE PANAMA CANAL AND SOUTH CAROLINA (Continued From First Pago.) resented by buildir :.i and exhibits. It bas been estimated by experts that twenty million people will visit the exposition. Forty-one American states haye accepted the Invltatlonxto par ticipate, and the State of New York alone has raised seven hundred thous and dollars for building and exhibits, hy public appropriation and private subscription. Other states have rained suras, some by appropriations and some by popular subscriptions, rang ing' from $3b,00f> to $300,000. Among all the states of importance South Carolina alone ls distinguished by the fact that no provision has been made for funds to exploit its resources and advantages or to put the world on no tice that our State ls alive to Its re sponsibiliies and opportunities. In the great picture of the world's work that ls to be unrolled at San Francisco for all the nations to witness. South Carolina is not represented;' it is not oh the map. 'Our leg ls Ir ture refused to make an appropriation for the purpose of erect ing a* building or providing an exhibit nt the exposition. IB it wisc or is it even thinkable, from any point of view, this state State shall n?t be cred itably represented there? Ignoring the matter from tito angle of state pride, and viewing it with the analytical eye of business, is lt not apparent how great a misfortune such an omission would.be? Tho advantages of our geo graphical situation will avail us little against Hie combined efforts of other regions to project themselves into the limelight. It ls an axiom of modern business that the fellow who goes after a thing is the fellow who gets it. The people of this State cannot afford to sit still, deluding themselves with the notion that the trade of tho world is going to be handed to us on a silver salver, merely becamb we possess certain natural advantages and facil ities for handling lt. Those advant ages will not profit us unless we let the world know that we have them. In the absence of any official pro vision having been made for showing and ex pelting, the State and its re sources at thc exposition, we must make auch provision by popular sub scription, as other states have done, or by some other means to be adopted after investigation. . It has been suggested that the ef ficient plan to accomplish this work ls by the creation of a Commission, as luis been done in other states, to., organize the campaign on, advlsahlo lines , and to lend the force of itu co operative efforts and influence to those of tile active field-workers. I have been requested to undertake, unoffi cially, the formation of such a Com mission, to be composed of representa tive and prominent men from all parts of the State, and I ask that you permit , me to name you as ono bf tho mem bers. Po soon as possible arter th->( organ ization of the Commission, lt is pur posed to have a meeting'in Columbia to consider the whole subject mid for-, mu?ate ways and means for. .il state wide campaign for raising ile: neces sary fund.
