"While I feel confident I would like to see a little more wind," declared tbe famous Irish yachtsman. The water was calm and the wind light. Sir Thomas has received more than 100 rablegrama. raidograms and teletrams fro mall parts of the V. S. and the entire world congratulating upon Shamrock IV's victory yesterday. The most notable came from Premier Massey. of New Zealand. This cablegram, which was dated Wellington, said: "On behalf of New Zealand I send heartiest congratulations on the victory of Shamrock IV.

Mr. Martin asked that a committee be appointed to confab with the Public. Service Commission to force the company to re-route cars in Hammond. No action was taken. WAXTS IT CLEANED IP Alderman H. S. Voorheis, of the eleventh ward, recovering from an attack of melancholia brought on by the depressing effect of the smoke begTlmed walls of the council chamber, rose from his" seat and asked council to use $600 in the old city hall building fund to clean up the city offices and especially the council chamber. Mr. Reilley supporting the motion, referred to the building as a "p!g-pen." He was heartily applauded. But Alderman Ora Highland, of the fifth ward, burst the bubble of re-furnished quarters when he said: "Not a penny, sirs. Not a penny of that illegal money shall we touch. The big corporations got back their money when the fund was declared illegal by the courts but the poor, small property owner is still out. No. we cannot touch a cent of that $00." And so the rectitude of Mr. Highland prevailed and Instead of taking the $0 which some bank Is now using at 2 per cent, as Pat Reillej pointed out. council authorise the Board of Public Works to have an ordinance drawn up including an appropriation sufficient to cover the cost of redecorating the building.
