Commissioner Moni Answers Ex-Gov. Hamilton and Suggests that Justice be Done by Congress to the Patent Office. i Ex-Gov. Hamilton, of Maryland, ina recent ees at Hagerstown ‘took occasion to give ex- pressi is views in to the governing the ismuo of patents, He maintained, ashe did when a member of the Senate com- mittee on patents, that too many patents were issued, and that this was especially trae in the case of agricultural implements and inventions likely to be used by farmers, He thought that oe apse office was anxious to increase its re- celpts, and for that reason many useless patents were issued, = _ Mr. Montgomery, of ate mgomery, the new commissioner what the ex-governor had sald, observed that he had found. in the short time that he had been at the head of the office, that the pressure for patents was all one way. The claimant, the attorney, and thelr friends, all bore down upon the examiners with argu. ment, entreaty, and even threats, their entire aim and object being to get the patent out, That is all the claimant cares for, and the ex- aminers have to meet a tremendous prossure. Then, again, the tasue of a patent Is like ® ver- dict of acquittal in a criminal trial It is and Peyond, appeal. A man cannot be placed in peril of hnis ilfe a second time for the same offense, and so when a patent nee iasues the action is'final, In the event of the patent being rejected the claimant has a Yarlety of forms ot appeal with the right of final recourse to the Supreme Court of the United States. The commissioner said that he felt called upon to urge his examiners to be careful and exact in thelr ‘getion upon patent ications, so mo needless not shot Sad “But then,” continued the commissioner, “T ‘am brought face to face with this difficulty, I find that examiners are three or four months behind, that an pplication made to-day will not be considered for three or four months. At once Tsay that this ts not right and that in- Yentors ought not tosuffer the hardships of delay, The inventors have their rights, as the fees they pay are more than enough to meet the expenses of this office. There is now some three million of surplus in the United States ‘Treas, nd our monthly receipts are about $100,000. ‘The office charges well for its wore ‘and it ought to be done promptly and well, To remedy the evil I goto the examiners and tell them that they must have their work up, They Say very well and begin to turn the patents out asfastasIcan sign them. But their work is not done well and many of the patents ought non. be cera “The trouble is,” went on the Commissioner, “the force in the ‘Patent office is toosmall. The work is behind because there is not force enough to attend to the cases and do them well. ‘Th isnot mere clerical work, but juires time and study. As soon asa sufficient force is allowed by Congress for the proper management of the business of the office. then the delay now com- plained of will cease, and more time can be given to the cases and’ errors thus avoided. Of course examiners are only human, and under the pressure which I have referred to may at times allow their judgment to be overruled,and thus issue an unnecessary patent; but my poll- cy is to restrict the issue of patents to that which is strictly new and original, and I think that it is much better to reject a patent than to issue it. In the former case the Inventor has & Temedy; in the latter case the government has none, I think that when Congress treats the Patent office justly that it will be a benefit to the entire country, and the complaints reterred to will cease, ——__+e-____ Onr Fleet in Asiatic Waters.

Net Wind Enough for the Yachts. THE PURITAN OUTSAILS AND OUTPOINTS THE GENESTA—LIGHT WINDS DELAY THE OPEN- ING RACE FOR THE AMERICA’S CUP—THE PURITAN FACES ROUGH WEATHER WITHOUT LOSING SPEED, Despite the good style in which the Puritan and Genesta got away in the international yacht race in New York yesterday, as described in the dispatches to Tux Star, another disap- pointment was the result, as the boats being almost becalmed before they reached the turn- ing point were towed back, it being clearly im- possible to complete the race within the seven hours limit, In the neighborhood of the Scotland lightship yesterday morning opened with a fresh north- easterly breeze without much sea, Although the white caps far out gave indications of rough water later in the day, by 9 o'clock the Horse Shoe was fullof life, most of the yachts having anc there “for the ‘night, while the Narrows were crowded with steam craft and the excursion four of which carried nearly 10,000 n= gers between them. ‘The Puritan and Genesta Were towed out to tho lightahip in company with the juc ’ boat and the tug of the York yacht club at ten o'clock, and there was deal of fast sailing done by the crack yachts of the club while the racers got ready. The sky was overcast with streaks of light in the east, and the breego freshening every mo- men! At 11:45 the whistles to got into position were sounded and the sloop and cutter hud every square inch of canvas up asif by magic, The way the Genesta showed her bull under the pressure of the breeze amazed the yachtsmen, whohad not had occasion tosee her in any thing but the comparative calms of Monday and ‘raesday. She keeled over at times in a way that would have frightened spectators had they not known how much more of her was under water and how many tons of lead held her down. Her speed during the prelim- inary sailing for position coul scarcely be com- ut both. peed te that of the American boat, lashed through the water in @ fashion which promised a magnificent race, They did not come near enough to have what might be called @ brush until the line was crossed—perhaps having last Tuesday's disaster in mind, At 1i:25 the signal to cross the line was given and within @ minute the two blasis from the Judges’ boat announced that the racers were off, They swept over the line, the Puritan to the windward, with seven seconds to her ad- vantage, THE CUTTER GOING AHEAD. The cousse of the vessels was east by north, twenty miles from the lightship, along the Long Island coast, The tide was at the last half of the ebb, the wind fresh from the north- east, mettle bounded over the waves for the line, ose hauled on the starboard tack under insail, foresta, topsail. ‘The Yankee cessfully for the windward position and crossed underthe stern of the Luchenbach at 11:35. The Briton was less than three hundred feet away and nearly abeam of the Puritan and dashed over the line seven seconds later, The Yankee did not fulfill the predictions of the cuttermen—that she would hammer the seas, On the contrary she parted them as majes- tically and with as little pounding as the Gen- esta; but the cutter rapidly drew ahead, and the éxplanation was that it was a cutter day and bad for skimming dishes, Five minutes after the start the Briton appeared w have gained a hundred yards on tne Yankee. Then the cutter enthusiasts let themselves loose, They asked where the sloop was. They found out subsequently. It looked pretty gloomy for America for a while and the ton people were constrained to devote their cheers wo Kacey on eee than congratulating their t. The Puritan outpointed her antagonist, ut the Briton persistently forged ahead. It soon became a question whether the superior pointing of the sloop would counterbalance the leetness of the cutter. At12:41 the Briton swung around on the eee tack as quickly as a weather-vane in a whirlwind and shot across the Yankee's bows, weathering her by about fouriengths, and tacking three minutes later on her weather bow. | The forty ‘or more seconds the Genesta sacrificed in, stays to weather her opponent allowed the Puritan to catch up considerably. She continued on her course, pointing for the less tumultuous water off Rockaway Inlet, Then the skimming-dish yachtmen hurrahed, The Puritan began run- ning away from the Genesta, gaining steadi.y in windward ition, Che cutter “men at- tempted toexplain why this was by calling at- tention to the diminished wind. The sloop men said the wind was increasing and that ac- counted for it, and Rigger Lowe said that it was due to the easing of the sloop’s sheets, she hav- ing had them flattened too much in her en- deavors to outpoint the Genesta. THE PURITAN’S TURN, At 1:10 the Genesta went about on the long Port tack, heading about southeast, Twenty seconds later the Puritan followed and began to gain rapidly. ‘The Genesta took in her working Vopsail and set her club-topsuil, and the Puritan did the same thing an Instant afterward, ‘The Puritan was now on the lee bow of the Genesta and about a mile ahead. She had more wind than the other fellow, and she gladdened the hearts of her supporters by the way she plunged ahead, This was a long stretch and the Puri- tan did nobly. But the wind was dyingoutand her speediness was to avail her little. Itbecame apparent, that there was to be another day lost. ‘he yachts made several stretches, aud at 5:24 the Puritan wont about and headed for the turning raft. The Genesta was then about two tailes in the rear, Then the wind died out al- ‘most completely, and it was seen that the Pari- tan was so far ahead of her rival as to make her victory sure if the race could be finished, but the committee finding that it whs impossi- ble to sail the race in seven hours, took the Genesta in tow, while the tug Scandinavian was sent to bring the Puritan into the Horse- shoe. If not for the delay in putting crews and offi- cers on the yachts trom the judges’ boat many think the race might have been sailed yester day within the time-limit of seven hours, ‘A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE RACE. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press de- seribes tha race as follows: The Luchenback, with Judges on board, was the boat to make its. last appearance at the rendezvous, though it was the one boat whose presence was “very very precious to all.” The tardy judges lost no time, however, when once on the ground, and soon sent the flyers off with a splendid start. ‘The big fleet was quickly ‘away after them, It was astern chase, and promised to be a long one, even for the steamers, at the pace which the sloops were making, and the little attend- ant fleet soon gave up trying to follow and spread their tall bo ‘us 10 meet them on the ‘other tack.

Old sen eap- tains admitted that it was “some weather,” but all their passengers would have readily sworn there was a good deal. Spirits did not rise when the Genesta was seen to have scored a handsome advantage over the Puritan on the first tack, having gained what looked at a dis- tance fully half @ mile, though at the expense of losing position and going ‘to leeward. Dis- usted and discouraged, most of the spectators jevoted their time to'making themselves as comfortable as ible under the circumstances: which made @ delusion and pleasure a mockery. They had time to notice, however, that, in spite of the lead Which the Genesta had obtained, the Puritan was turning the white foam away from her bow in sheets and really overhauling the Englishman. The latter was riding the waves gracefully most of the time, though every now and then she poked her nose in the alr and then, with a vicious thrust, would bury the whole bowsprit beneath the'waves, only to bring up dripping sail.

The tug Luekenbach was the first to send out cloud of smoke between the Hook and Coney Island. Shortly afterward the Genesta was seen moving out under sail; then the Puritan, in tow of a tug, appeared next. When the slight wind that could vot be felt in the Narrows, and was scarcely appreciable on the ocean at the time, filled the sails of the Puritan, she cast the tug off and bobbed slowly out toward the Scot- land lightship, It was nearly 11 o'clock before the steam yachts Electra and Vision and the fron steamboat Taraus were seen moving out, SCENES ON THE WATER. Then the snow-white sails began to appear, and increased in numbers as the day advanced: Among the most noticeable of the sailing craft were the schooners Dreadnaught, Dauntless and Rebecca, Whose prows were pointed in the wake of the Puritan. The water, that was 50 restless and boisterous yesterday morning, was as gentle as the masses of biue and white clouds that bent above it. The weather prophets here on the Hook, and their name is legion, are prog- nosticating a calm, and all assert that it will be impossible for the racers to cover the course in time to make a race.
