had come across from Rockaway to catch the train for the city, but more were there, to enioy the music of the band and sit at tables and drink beer. All were jolly. As the tug came close to the pier the band struck up a lively air and welcomed the newcomers with a shout. A man sprang ashore from the tug boat. ."For Gods sake stop the music !" he cried. There are dead aboard." The music ceased and the crowd grew still. Two women, crying: and wringing their hands, were helped from the tug. On the forward deck could be seen the bodies of the women and the two little girls stretched side by side, their white dresses clinging to them like shrouds. _ Ihe women and children on the wharf cried m sympathy, and where music and laughter had been a moment before were tears and wailing. . , One of the rescued persons said there were from thirty to thirty-five persons, mostly women and children, on the yacht when she capsized. Of this number only the five mentioned are known to have been saved. It is possible a few others were picked up, but not probable, as the tide was running too swiftly for them to keep afloat long.

A Hot Wave.

MANY DEATHS FROM SUNSTROKE,

Despatches of July 16th reports: Intensely hot weather throughout the Northwest con tinues, the mercury ranging between 95 degrees and 105 degrees. Four deaths here from sunstroke this morning. At Cincin nati there were a number of prostrations from heat among exposed labourers and others. There were four deaths on the 15th, and four more deaths were reported on the 16th. Many labourers have given up work on account of the great heat. At Pittsburg the mercury was 97 degrees at 2 p.m. Two fatal cases of sunstroke and a number of serious prostrations from heat are re ported. The iron ancl steel mills were com pelled to close during the. day. Similar report were received from other cities, nearly all of them reporting it the hottest day of the year, and some the hottest for many years : New York, 99 degrees : Washington, 98i; Philadelphia, 98; Bal timore, 100; Wilmington, Del, 100 ; Rich mond, Va., 104; Winchester, Pa., 102; Troy, N.Y., 95. At Milwaukee, twenty cases of sunstroke were reported at the central police station. Of this number three were fatal, the victims either being found dead on the streets or dying in the patrol waggon. The day was the hottest ever known in Milwaukee, the thermometer reaching 100 degrees. At Cin cinnati horses began to fall in the streets. Sixteen persons were prostrated with heat in public places, making altogether twenty-eight prostrations and eleven deaths. The Signal Station thermometer registered 96.7 degrees maximum, which means from 100 to 102 degrees on the sidewalk. At Chicago, there were no less than 140 cases of prostration, in which it was fchcught that no less than thirty will result fatally. The temperature remained above 90 until midnight, something without precedent in Chicago.

Hanlan's Victory Over Gaudaur.

THE: RACE ROWED IN DARKNESS,

Twelve hundred people in the grand stand at Lake Calumet, Chicago, shivered and swore on July 23rd, from 2 o'clock until 8, at the miserable management by those in charge of the arrangements for the Hanlan-Gaudaur race. This was ad vertised to be a three - mile race with a turn for a thousand dollars and 75 per cent. of the gate money, to come off be tween 2 and 6 p.m. The weather was beautiful, soiar as a clear sky ancl bright sunlight could make it, but there was a keen northwest wind blowing, which made overcoats very agreeable. It did not, however, ruffle the water much. As early as I. o'clock nearly all the people who came were on hand in the grand stand and on the lake shore waiting for the band to play.

Four o'clock, five, six, seven, and no signs of the contestants, and the crowd began to grow decidedly disgusted. About this time it was noised abroad that the water was too rough for the shells and that the race would be postponed. The people did not seem much annoyed over this, and were preparing to go when the rumour was contradicted. Then it was learned that tbe trouble .was with Gaudaur, who insisted on compliance with tbe agreement, which, he said, stated he should have smooth water. St. John, it appears, backed him up, and finally Hanlan got disgusted, took his shell and went in front of the' grand stand, leaving, word that if Gaudaur was not out in five minutes lie (Hanlan) would row over the course and take the money. This brought Jacob out, and a start was finally made in almost total darkness.

At the outset Gaudaur took the lead, and was half-a-length ahead as long as,the pair could be seen. They had turned the stake and were nearly half-way to the line before the wretched tub, provided as the press boat, was again allowed sight of either through the darkness. Hanlan was then eight or ten boat-lengths ahead of Gau daur, who was'astonishingly wide of the course, and kept on so. At this junc ture Gaudaur spurted in a wonderful manner, which seemed to indicate that he must have won. if on his course. He kept on, obliquely, however, finish ing on about equal terms with Han lan, as near as could be judged by. his position in the. darkness, which was al most total. He was disqualified by his position, and the race was given to Hanlan, who finished in 20.32. After the race St. John, Gaudaur's backer, said he told tbe latter to go out and lose the race. He couldn't afford to attempt to win when the agreement was not complied with, the water was so much in favour of Hanlan. He would not have allowed the race to be awarded to Hanlan, only he wanted to satisfy the people by showing them some thing for their money.

A Daring Feat.

PROPESSOR BALDWIN JUMPS FROM * A BALLOON" A MILE HIGH.

The much-talked-of leap, from a balloon was made by Professor Thomas S. Baldwin at the fair grounds, Quincy (II.), on July 4th. Over 20,000 people witnessed the performance, which was very, daring.. B'alwin ascended to a height of one mile, and then, holding his parachute, launched hirhself into space. The parachute was about eighteen feet in diameter, and made of cords and strong silk. When the jump was made, it was closed,, and the first 200 feet the* aeronaut dropped like a rock. Then, as the parachute expanded, the speed became less rapid, and the aeronaut and his strange apparatus floated steadily down like a bird: It was a grand sight. The descent was accomplished in three minutes and twenty seconds. Baldwin struck the ground with some force, but not enough to injure him. The descent varied about a quarter of a mile from the vertical, and the professor struck the ground about a mile, and a half from where the ascent was made. His attempt to collapse the balloon when jumping failed, and it soared away skyward when relieved of his weight. . . Baldwin is a native of Quincy, and is 2b years old. He was for a number of years eno-a^ed in the newspaper business, but for the lSstfew years has been studying ath letics and ballooning. He made a similar leap in California last winter, the distance beind'l,oo6 feet. ■

A Balloon Accident.

PROFESSOR CHESTER ATTEMPTS AN ASCENSION, BUT FAILS.

A man known as Professor Chester fell from a hot-air balloon at Stockton, on July 17, and was considerably bruised, bub not dangerously injured. He had been engaged as an attraction at Goodwater Grove, a short distance from this city. There was a fair sized crowd. He did nob want bo make the ascension on account of the wind, bub finally consented to go up. When he had reached an altitude of fifty feet the balloon struck a tree. Chester received a.large gash in his forehead. An attempt was made to fet him out of the tree, when a limb roke and he fell to the ground. He fell on his lefb side, and for a short time suffered from partial paralysis, but im proved later and will probably recover. (Continued on Pages 5 and 7.)
