Although hut a small proportion of Hazletonians will be able to see the yacht races between the Reliance and the Shamrock III, there 1-, great Interest here and in the surrounding towns in the contest for the cup that starts off New York oa. Thursday next It is hard to estimate Which boat is the favorite, many betting on Reliance and hundreds hoping for a victory by Shamrock because of Sir Thomas Lip-ton's two previous defeats. The international yacht races of 1903 will go down into history as the most interesting and exciting of all the contests yet held. This is the twelfth challenge from British yachtsmen since the schooner America captured the cup off the Isle of Wight in 1851. A feature of this year's faces Is the remarkable similarity in both the challenging yacht, Shamrock III and the defender, Reliance.

This is the third challenge from Sir Thomas Lipton through the Royal Ulster Yacht Club. Shamrock III was designed by William Fife. Reliance is the product of Nat G. Hereshoff, and was built at Bristol, R. I.

It is owned by members of the New York Yacht Club, which club is custodian of the cup. The manager of the Reliance is C. Oliver Iselin. There will be five races, the first to be sailed August 20. The remaining races will be eailed on alternate days until the series is complete.

Three races out of five will decide the winner. Each race is to be started at Sandy Hook lightship. The course will be either over a triangle, each side of which is ten milels in length, or a beat to windward of fifteen miles and Teturn, depending upon the direction of the wind. The best qualities of both yachts will thus be shown on all points of sailing. The time limit for each race is five and onei-half hours.

Each boat measured ninety feet on the water line and each can spread more than 20,000 square feet of canvas. Both boats carry about ninety tons of lead in their hulls. The highest point on the top mast of each yacht would rise nearly forty feet above the roadway of the Brooklyn bridge. Bell in Bad Shape.

Patrick Sharp met his death at the hands of deputies at Nesquehoning on August 18, 1902, Just one year ago to day.

Harry McElmoyle and William Rone- mus, arrested on the charge of causing his death, will be tried In the Montgomery county courts during the week commencing September 14, a change of venue from Carbon county having been granted. Three train loads of United Mine Workers left this end of the Seventh District thlsi morning to attend the un veiling exercises and take part In the demonstration. At 9:15 two trains, one of thirteen cars and the other of eleven cars, left this city, and from Freeland went a train of 12 cars at about the same time. All the towns from Silver Brook to Upper Lehigh sent delegations of miners with the excursions and In many places entire Locals turned out. As a result there was hardly a colliery in operation In the entire district.

St John's Slavonian Band accompanied the Hazleton delegation. All the excursionists went over the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Fillings that last Dr. Bond. Second hand furniture and stoves at Mumaw's, S2 South Wyoming St Pries of Food Stuff Goes Up.

Hooven Novelty 84 North Wyoming St 17-tf One of the results of the two piano contests held In Hazleton during the summer will likedy be the inauguration of a movement at an early date for the organization of the business men for protective and beneficial purposes. It is the almost unanimous opinion of all the merchants that the contests, Instead of being the revenue producers they were supposed to be.oaused a serious business disturbance and made sores that it will take months to heal. Many of them are in favor of form ing an association such as exists at Shamokin, where1 all the merchants have come together and adopted rules governing trade in the town. One of these rules prohibits the introduction of any gift enterprises such as piano contests and It has been found that the relations of the retailers have been more pleasant and business more stable since the establishment of their organization than before. The issuing of tickets for the pianb contests was the cause of demands on the part of many customers on the merchants for donations of goods with every purchase of any amount.

Instead of taking the tickets these people asked for this and that which they imagined could be given away free. For instance, when a man paid his grocery bill, instead of being satisfied with a cigar or a half pound of candy, he would ask for a pound of cakes. And so on down the line of the various stores. The merchants are not opposed to giving away something with big purchases, but It Is claimed that too great demands are being made on them, and many of them favor coming together on the "community of Interest" plan. Miners Go to Texas.

A car of miners from Schuylkill county was sent today to Clarion county, Pa. Another party of men Is to be sent out in a few days to Texas, where they will mine coal under the long wall system, a plan which is in operation only in three districts of the United States.

yards at Shamokin. They sat upon the bumper of a car which was being shifted. It struck another car and Lundy fell to the ground and was Tolled some distance, but escaped in-Jury. Chisnell luckily clung to the car when the collision occurred. Transportation Factor Now.

In anticipating the future of the coal market transportation conditions will be a factor from now until next February and March. If transportation troubles Increase as rapddly during the next few months as they have the past week there will undoubtedly be greater difficulties In the way of the movement of coal than there was a year ago. Transportation has been far from good in some or me eastern territory, as well as In some parts of the west Eastern trunk lines to tide water are said to be badly congested and the supply of cars Is extremely variable, being adequate one day and very short the next Owing to the fact that the traffic management of several lines is In new hands, and those In control have not been able to meet existing difficulties, the outlook for the future Is not reassuring.
