Opinion a to th merits of the two boats had been some, what divided a a result of th finket during the past two weeks. Although th preponderance of expert opinion never wavered in its loyalty to th wonderful speed and ability of the white flyer, no nautical sharp expected the Shamrock would he so overwhelmingly vanquished. The Yankee boat outgeneraled her at the start, beat her in windward work to the outer mark, and gained twenty two aeoonds in th run borne before 1 1 flyer was forging ahead. Tbe clear water began to show between them. Tbe Columbia seemed to not only oat-fothe challenger, but the experts saw that she pointed higher. It wa aatoniahing how she made her way up Into tha wind.

The Corsair hauled down all her prl vat signals and set old glory at each maathead and gaff and taffrSil. The crew of the Columbia gathered aft and hurrahed with bared heads. Then, aa alie lowered her head sails and took th tow line from her tender, the crowd waited over ten minutes until the Shamrock bad crossed and tbe fleet had given her stentorian expression of good will.

A lot. g; London, OcL 17. News from Soutk Africa is that Kimberley it besiege! and the Boers are massing in force. The Boers have cut the railway at Belmont, having seized the Hpyfoutels railway station and constructed fortified earthworks There are strong de force Muilder at river and th fending Orange river. The object of these energetic operations is believed to be the capture ol Cecil Rhodes Kimberley is now isolated, both railway and telegraphic communication being cut. , The Modder river station master that firing has been heard in the direction of Kimberley, and the station master at Belmont telegraphs that a force of Boers is advancing south ward. Shooting has been almost continuous along the entire border of the Boer republic, while pitched battles have occurred or are occurring at various points in Natal and British Bechuaua-lan- d As Mafeking is cut off telegraphically, the stories from that point are generally of KaWr origin and must be regarded with suspicion. Flowerdew, the engine driver of Captain Nesbitt's train, which was derailed and boarded by the Boers, states that if the train had returned when warning was received that the Boers held the line, it could easily have made its way back to Maribogo, but Captain Nesbitt insisted upon an endeavor being made to reach Mafeking. When the pilot engine was derailed, said Flowerdew, we spent a half hour trying to replace it on the track. Then the Boers commenced firing, and several men tvere Hounded. The firing was kept up all night, bnt without effect. Tbe Boers were careful to concentrate their fire upon the engine, so as to saVe the armored carriage and ammunition trucks. At dawn they commenced to bombard the cars. I escaped by crawling a mile and a half on my belly in the sand. When both engines were destroyed. Captain Nesbitt' exhibited flags of truce, but th Boers continued their firing for another quarter of an hour. There is no doubt that all the others on the train are prisoners and that the carriage and the ammunition intact fell into the hands of the Boers. Flowerdew was fearfully bruised.
