weathor light wind from the northeast, which Boon changed to a good sailing breeze from the southwest, were the conditions which tbe inagniQoent fleet of the liew York and Eastern Yacht Clubs this xnOrning, as they began preparations for the special race for the cups offered by Commodore Gerry, open to yachts of either club which have not hauled out to clean since the of the cruise. race was One of the most interesting of the season, especially in the sloop dass, asthe Barbara came in and proved iietbelf a factor in a very early stage of the gasae- By good judgment she early secured commanding position in her class. Sails were set early on most of the flyers. Mainsails were set on the schooners, and the 46-footers already had their sxnoothly- aatting club topsails aloft. The Mayflower, up in the midst of the thickly-anchored fleet, set her jibs, and, making a pretty turn, bore down the harbor, boiating her sails as she went.

Then the rest Of the racing fleet made themselves Known by their early start, and tliCir anxiety to get outside to try the wind aud get near the starting line. The Iroquois soon ipped out around the point, just a bit of her gray bottom showing as she glided along On the Constellation, the capstan was going around in lively fashion, and the Marguerite, the Merlin and the Mayflower wore away one after tbe other. The 46-footers quickly slipped out through the schooners which were loafing About just outside of the neck, and were away at once for Half-way liock.

The Gloriana and Harpoon were after him, and the Barbara also went out to the Starting line.

The Wind Shifts. The wind had settled Into a fait topsail breeze from the when the Ituna, the regatta steamer, took her position off Half Way Bock at 10:15 At 10:45 a preparatory gun Was fired and a blue Peter hoisted. At the mainmast code signals were flying which indicated that the boats would beat to ledge, then have a reach to the mark, twelve miles off shore and a run home to the finish, thirty-six miles in ail. At 10:55 a gun gave the signal for the sloops to start, and tour 46-footers manoeuvred about to leeward of the line, each waiting for the others to start. Finally the Gloriana found a good chance to get away alone, and started off on the starboard tack, with club topsail and little jib topsail set and sheeted home.

The Barbara and Wasp were next off, but the Harpoon waited till near the limit before going after the others. The start of the sloops was as follows Gloriana .....................................................10:57:30 Harpoou ....................................................11:00:00 The GlOrhxna was on the starboard tack and to leeward of the Barbara, the Wasp being astern aud to windward. The Glo- riaua split tacks soot after starting. Wasp came about on the port tack as the Gloriana again came about on the starboard tack. The Barbara stood well away off shore, making a long reach before she stood in.

StaTt of the Schooners. At 11 the gun was fired for the start of the schooners, auiWat short intervals the six boats got away in this order: Iroquois .....................................................11:01:40 02:60 10 The Constellation was to windward of all. A little later Merlin, Constellation and IrOquois adopted the tactics, and jwotited by their course, although not enough to lead the Barbara to the first irk, wiiich was the bell off Leilge. A couple of miles off shore the boats struck into a little south-southeasterly breeze which was coming in, and heading off a point they kept on to the eastward. I'he Iroquois held tier wimlward position, and, being ahead, was for some time in better wind.

The Merlin w'as going off fartlter than the Constellation, and the big black schooner is showing inside of her white sister. The Mayflower was following closely on her heels. As these four schooners got out Into tho breeze and still held on to the eastward, the poor Iroquois had to give up part of her lead, though she still was well to windward. The Mayflower Slips In. But Boston slipped ahead, not pausing for a moment, and soon both Merlin and Constellation had got by the Iroquois, and the Mayflower was closing up to leeward on the Constellation.

The position of the sloops as they beat down from Marblehead Neck was: Wasp, Gloriana, and latter way astern. The Gloriana passed through the lee and they had an interesting see-saw, as one or the other forged ahead, Wasp finally gaining the advantage, although the Barbara came in ahead of her at where the order was: Barbara, Merlin, Constellation, Wasp, Iroquois, Marguerite. Mayflower, Gloriana, Harpoon, Alcaea. The wind had freshened and was southeast. On the next leg the Barbara carried away the bolt in her stem which held her bobstay, and she left the fleet of racers, which she had been leading.

The Gloriana had set her gaff tansail and was holding the Harpoon for awhile, but was finally pasrsed by her uninjured rival. On the course to the second murk. Constellation passed Merlin, and Marguerite and Mayflower passed Iroquois. Alcaea had nearly overtaken tlie The Order as the bouts jibed around the second mark, setting spinnakers to port, was: Constellation, Merliu, Marguerite, Mayflower, Iroquois, Wa.sp, Alcaea, Harpoon, Gloriana. The Marguerite worked well to windward before setting her big port sail aiid WHS in good The Harpoon and Gloriana were after Alcaca in rcach- ing the mark.

The Secret Inquest at Fall River Still Goins: On. No Developments Expected Before Its Cloie. Bridpt Sullivan Is Still Guarded by tbe Pclice, And So Is the Borden House.

is generally ivfccpiuu uiiit no startling developments lu tha Bor ion c-aso are to be expevted until after the inquest. That is not certain. The inquiry is dency. That may well set this physician thinking. If Lizzie Borden had any suicidal tendencies, the week she has spent Within the chamber of horrors where she is confined and the fact that she has been the object of grave and ill-concealed suspicion from the first, would surely have developed them.

She is watched as closely as ever. John shadow never leaves him. Guards stand at all the doors. Bridget is virtually a prisoner at the house of her cousin. Time and time again it has been given out that the ceaseless espionage on the part of the police was to be ended by an arrest, and each time the power behind the throne has raised a warning hand and said: Then the detectives hammer away at the walls and fioors of the Borden house in an attempt to find something which will justify immediate action.

They have not ceased to follow all outside clues, as has been stated, but they lose faith in anything which lies outside the Bofden fence. That house and what it contains is still their camping ground. From information at hand late tonight it Seems certain that the inquest will ba finished tomorrow. It Is said that but four more witnesses will be called, and only one of them. Professor Wood, is likely to occupy much time.

Ah arrest will follow the conclusion of the inquest, or action of that nature will be indefinitely postponed. In either case the aspect of the case must change. If there is no arrest the witnesses will he asked to give recognizances and released from the surveillance to which they are now subject, whether sleeping or walking. It has been frequently prophesied today that Lizzie Borden will be a prisoner within twenty-four hours. At first it was ditlicult to ascertain tho cau.se for such an impression, but it i.s now plain that it grew out of t'ae somi-ofticial announcement that the end of tho inquest would come tomorrow.

As a matter of fact it rests with one man. District Attorney Knowltou. If ho says arrest tomorrow, arrest it will be. As to what he will say no well-founded state- iiieut can be made tonight. He has the reputation of being a man of sound judgment, one who will take no unjustiliable t'ne need of direct is as great as It is cnp.

It is announced that All proceedings at te inquest will be kept secret and that the vldonce will be sealed up to await a trial ione comes. Judge Blalsdell mst, in time, file with tha clerk of the cork the finding the inquest.

In the meantime le inquiry goes on. The result of analysis In comparison of blod corpuscles is yet to come. The soarchfor gory evidences in the Bordeu housi and of It proceeds. One of inldents was the sudden Impetus this searc received, and which evidently arose fra something elicited at the inquest. A physician proiinently connected with the case cited a hypothetical thU morning, from it was easily inferred that he supposei' tbe poison which it is alleged Lizzie Brden attempted to buy wanted in oss she were threatened with punishment long imprtsonment.

The ordeal thrflgh wbiob the girl has has beens most trying one, but baa been of auicidiU (on- It now appears that the action of tho Board Of Aldermen in authorizing the city marshal to enlist as many special constables as he finds necessary, was due to a letter from District Attorney Knowlton to Mayor Coughlin pointing out the necessity of sufli a move. Now, if the guarding of the Borden house was the only thing in view these specials would not be neces.sary. If there is new ground to be broken different. One Michael Graham, described as well known to the police, and mentioned as offsetting Dr. suspicious stranger, is wanted.

The directory does not mention Michael, whose lamentable case is related In another portion of these despatches, and who seems to have been a victim of circumstances. WHAT DOES THIS MEAMP A Detail of Pulloe Bunt Out at Mldnlcht to Guard the Dead. from Staff axl iver Aug. watch has been set upon tbe dead. At midnight a detail of surrounds the fscsiving tomb at Oak Grove Cemetery.

Kot coatent With (he eesMleu wgtch at BRIDGET SULLIVAN, THE BORDEN FAMILY SERVANT. from life yesterday by the ost the Borden house, the authorities quietly determined to institute a still more mysterious and lonely vigil. Tliat solid receiving tomb at Oak Grove looks like security itself, but the police question the safety of the bodies which lie there. There is Jmuch food for thought in this last of a series of mysterious steps in this srrangc.st of cases. It means first of all that someone fears tlnit the great iron door which shuts in the (lend may be forced, for what purpose must be guessed.

A tall fence with immense iron gates highly instructive, was contained In a bulletin issued by official authority at 6 by order of the district attorney and read to the newspaper corps by Stata Detective Seaver. It ran this way: the inqUest today the following witnesses were Lizzie A. Borden, John V. Morse, Emma L. Borden, Dr.

Her manner was sPcniAL. ut f' vtsb 4oco UU.IG surrounds the cemetery, and the ivy-clad receiving tomb is just within It. The vault, like all such places, is solidly built.

That it should be necessary to detail a guard for it alone is prima facie evidence that a tip of some kind has reached the authorities. The ordinary ghoul would have nu reason to meddle with the bodies of Andrew Borden and his murdered wife. The watch set tonight suggests more than danger that the bodies may bo disturbed. It implies suspicion that some one has a that of defeating the plans the police have in regard to adding to the material necessary for a complete chemical analysis. the police have no such fear, but at this writing (1 a.
