The wind during the morning held fairly true from the southwest, about six knots. The weather is fine. The revenue cutter fleet preceded the excursion steamers out to the starting line. The Reliance stood by the lightship at 10.12 a. m. longer and is cutting down the latter's lead. Rear Admiral Barker received sealed instructions relating to the attack. The contents are unknown to General Chaffee, in command of the army. 12.12—The Reliance has overlapped the Shamrock and takes the lead at 12.08, then tacks port. The Shamrock follows a minute later. The peculiar danger of the latest outbreak lies in lta proximity to the Bulgarian frontier, thus creating a situation long foreseen. The Turks are now certain to send a large force to this territory to suppress the outbreak, which will necessitate the strengthening of the Bulgarian troops along the frontier. With the two armies close to each othei under the present strained relations the situation becomes extremely delicate. The Bulgarian government is taking every possible step to prevent a calamity, but the Otticiuls express the greatest concern. EVANS BROS 12.25—The breeze is now nine knots and the race has developed into a hot fight. The Reliance is leading by only a few seconds. The yachts are now standing toward Seabright, on the port BASEBALL. Plenty related how Parks had refused to take a check made out to Parks or bearer and how that check was cashed by a man sent from the saloon of Bernard Lynch, a friend of Parks', at Bloomlngdale's.
