Without a dissenting voice the challenge was voted a hearty acceptance by the hundred or more members that thronged the famous model room, where the meeting was held. L Speculation was not wrong when it ' I decided that the new challenge would I I not differ in its terms from the former ! ? a cont hv sir Thomas. In the dates | | VUV u* V .v suggested for the races alone is there ! variation. The challenge, which comes I through the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, ! names, according to the requirements j of tne deed of gift, Sir Thomas Ijipton as owner of the challenging vessel; j Shamrock II., a cutter-rigged yacht measuring S1J.5 feet on the Joad water J line as the challenger; August 20, 22 ; and 24 of next year as the date for the i races, and requests. that the starts, \ t' ' courses and other details be left sub- ! f ject to the same conuftions as governed I } the races between (Columbia and the ! first Shamrock last year. A committee was appointed, with j power to accept the/ challenge for the j club, and to arrange the terms of the | match. This committee will later in i the year meet a similar committee ! from the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, | ~ and full details of the sailing: of the races will then !>e agreed upon. After the meeting the question of a new defender was discussed. Various suggestion of more or less plausibility" as to the defensive campaign went the rounds. By some it was said, with no quotation uf authority, that at least ^ two defenders would be built, and that a local designer would furnish the B"" l>oards for oue of the new yachts. The m owners of the latter yacht were hinted ' W at as a syndicate composed of three i or four yachtsmen who have been I prominent in racing off Newport. As to the owners of the first yacht, .. all those who didn't know repeated the gossip that has been current since the news, of Sir Thomas Lipton's intention to challenge became known. Harry Payne Whitney and Herman jf E. Duryea, it waa?aid, would be the I owners, and Captan; "Nat" Herrcshoff fck "'* 1>he designer. ?? EIGHT LIVES LOST AT A nut.

The Reading Compauy's notice reads: "The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company hereby withdraws the notice posted October 3, 1900, and, to bring about practical uniformity ia the advance of wages in the several coal regions, gives notice that it will suspend the operation of the sliding scale, will pay ten per cent, advance on September wages till April 1, 1901, and thereafter until further notice; and will take up with its mine employes any grievances which they may have."

It was calculated that with the oars aud a small sail which they rigged they would be able to make between forty and fifty miles a day. ? Because of. their cramped position in the boat the men were unable to get proper rest In spite of thjii, however, regular watches were maintained all of the thirteen days, and the' boat was kept under way either by sail or with oars each night. On days'when the wind was favorable the men obtained plenty'of rest. Whan the wind died away u they went at the oars. Twice they fell in with sailing craft who thought they were the crew of some' wrecked ship. They received offers of assistance, but were forced to decline, as the vessels were not bound for this port. As soon a6 their story was told the British cruiser Indefatigable, attached to the West Indian sqaadron, which was in the hafbor, received orders to sail at once in search of the steamer. It is thought she will be found within 100 mllpfl nf tho nnrfnf- whwo alia n-n a disabled, about 700 miles from here.
