Lord Sackville-West, the late British minister at Washington, has already taken his departure. His daughters, who endeared themselves, t0 the people of Washington, accompanied him. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,’ of faberiee-treaty fame, has gone and taken'with him his young American bride. The Hon. A. 8. Northcote also took his departure with others more or less noted in the annals of English fame. MR, WALLER TAKES A DIFFERENT SHIP. The Hon, Thos. M. Waller, consul-general to London, sailed on a nt ship, presumably to show that his Ame: in feelings prevailed over his solicitude for others that were b; force of circumstances compelled to ome, On board the French mail steamer La Bour- gogne, in addition to Lord Sackville and the alisses Victoria and Amalia and Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain, were Admiral J.H. Upshur,U.8.N., and Mrs. Upshur. Lord Sackville and his daugh- vers and Mr. and Mrs. amberlain went on board the steamer last night. Mr. Chamber- lain was ostentatiously followed, or rather ac- g 4 companied, byadetective. The latter declined to be interviewed, but to the most unobserving observer his profession was patent. The to-day kept strictly to the seclusion of their staterooms and positively declined to be interviewed. — THE WHEAT MARKET BREAKS. Free Selling and Slumping Prices in New York To-day. New Yor, Nov. 24.—The New York wheat market hada bad break to-day. There were free sellers, with a good deal of long wheat put out Clark, Allen, Field, Lindley and company and Sawyer, Wallace an. company, were offering full lines, under which the market at first staggered, and then gave way. The decline was 25028 from the close of yesterday. December was sold at 10434 down to 10254, and closed at 102%. May went from 112 down to 11034, and .closed at 1105. There were 1,040,000 bushels of the December option taken, and 3,360,000 bushels of May. is business was all done in one hour and a half. The depression comes about from the fear that large quantities of December wheat will come out on contracts while stocks are accumulating and the export interest is at a pause. ee ge Gen.

THE SCENES ON THE RIVER BANK THIS AFTER- XOON—PREPARING POR THE GREAT STRUGGLE— 4 DELAY CAUSED BY A DREDGE—SKETCHES OF THE OaRSMEX, The Teemer-O'Connor boat race was the theme of down-town conversation last night. Occasionally people might be met whose know!- edge of the coming event was of an indefinite de- seription, but they were in a decided minority. Amateur oarsmen talked of shells and sliding- seats and the condition of the water in a man- ner that completely shut out the uninitiated. The relative merits of the two oarsmen were discussed at length in “the club-rooms and before the numerous saloon bars, and wondrous tales of each man’ Prowess—never before made public were related to the assembled groups. The mysteries of “stroke” and steering,” the sinu- osities of “currents” and the dubiousness of meteorological appearances, were all subjects of conversation, and the experts in such mat- ters elucidated everything for the benefit of the seeker after knowledge. ‘There was a great | the deal of quict betting. “sports” put up considerable money during the evening in sums of from €25 to $000, but there were no odds. Tho O'Connor crowd insisted that Teemer’s friends should make it 100 to 80, but at those figures there were no responses, for, while Teemer’s supporters are confident that their champion wilt come off victorious, they are fully aware that he has no walk-over. few wagers have been made among the local amateur oarsmen, but the amounts are small, although the interest in the contest is great, CANADIAN VISITORS. Willard’s hotel was full of Canadians to-day who have come down to seo the great boat race. Among the arrivals fronf Toronto are W. H. Pearson, jr., George Monro, Alex. Boyd, John J. Burns, L. 0, Leary, Alex. W. Donnelly, Frank Nelson, of the Globe; Frank Eimoro, of the Mail; A. R. Landon, of the World; J. W. Bunting, John D. Coulter, John Ringer, Peter Green and Martin Downs. BOTH MEN ON THE RIVER THIS MORNING. ‘The crowd at the boat-houses of Teemer and O'Connor was a little larger this morning than it has been hitherto, The air was warmer than on the previous day, and although water and sky were leaden in hue, still there was promise ofa pleasant afternoon. The first man out was Teemer, and he pulled down the course ina leisurely manner, occasionally glancing over his shoulder fo see what was ahead of him. ‘There was no appearance of exertion in any of his movementsand the sculls lashed into the water and out of it ax me- chanically as aclock ticks. Fifteen minutes later O'Connor stepped into his shell and paddled out into the stream. Close behind him came a tug, bound south, but it did not pass the Cana- dian until he turned at the buoy. O’Connor’s work wes very smooth and he swung himself in a confident manner. On the down trip his speed was steady and decidedly rapid. Returning to his boat house he slowed up, but The “Times” Again Defeated. 178 APPEAL FROM A DECISION OF JUDGE KINNEAR ‘SUCCESSFUL.

The ap- arance of the men in their boats and the form in which they moved failed to indicate superiority on the part of either one and the knowing ones predicted a close race. Watching both men very closcly was Ryan, of the Toronto Rowing club, who claims the amateur championship of Canada, but whose ition is assailed by Shea, of the Don club, of ‘oronto, who beat Ryan at Sturgeon Point and afterward won the junior championship at Sunbury. ‘THE RACING SHELLS, Masterpieces of ingenuity and skill; light, almost as vanity, and beautiful as any product of the human hand, are the racing shells which will in a few minutes float one man into the championship of America and the other into mowentary oblivion. The differences in con- struction are slight. and to the tyro visible. Both boats are from the shop of Reddick, of New York, and an improvement pon them seems to be unpossible. In uo place is there an ounce of superfluous weight, and yet there is « surprising amount of strength in the frail structures, O’Connor’s craft is 31 feet long and 11 inches wide. {ts weight is 28 pounds. Teemer's shell is a trifle larger. It is 3134 feet in length and 114¢ inches wide, but it only weighs 27 pounds. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF AMERICA. ‘The race is for the championship of America and the stakes are $2,500 a side. The original sum was §1,000, but the backers increased it yesterday. The distance to be rowed is three miles, with » turn. The start is from opposite the Analostan club-house and over what is known as the ‘lower course.” The winner will have the additional honor of stru ;gling for the championship of the world with Searle, on the Paramatta river, in Australia; this is what both men are anxious to do. ‘THE CROWD OF VISITORS. ‘The dimensions of the crowd of visitors con- tinued to increase with the arrival of each train. The Toronto delegation has grown to igantic , and, as every man has an Siiaec cash to ritk on his favorite, the betting has been lively. Its tone has changed considerably this morning, for with the advent of recruits the Canadian contingent became aggressive and OFFERED FREELY TO BET 5 To 4 ON o'coNNOR. ‘This was taken fora while by Teemer's ad- mirers, but toward noon the betting eubsided, because it was evident that the Teemer men had about all of their mone; hae up. Then ‘the Canadians became more bold. They offered Sf | odds of 5 to 3 on their inan, and at these figures quite a number of local sports invested their spare change. Everything was doue very quietly thongh, and’ the noise and binater common on such occasions were almost en- tirely absent, ‘The two factions, howe ver, kept * | away from each other as much as possible, for | amon; the immediate friends of the two oars- men there is an il!-feeling that will not down. Soveral attempts have been made to bring the backers together so that the arrangements for the i be perfected, but up no such conjunction had been made. To the credit of Teemer's backers it must beeaid that they have done as th ascould be expected of them to make the uccess in every particular. Pittsburg poured in several dozen of its citizens this morning, and McKeesport sent on just about as many. ‘The majority of them their way at once to Teemer’s hendquarters in George- town, and congratalated each other on the Prospects of their idol.

THE MEN WHO STRIVE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP ‘TO-DAY. John Toemer was born at McKeesport, Ps., July 8, 1864, He started rowing in 1881 and entered his firstrace in 1882—a professional contest. This he won with ease from Powers, of Pittsburg. A large number of minor races engaged his attention until June 24, 1888, when he rowed at Pullman, ills, In the great race he was defeated by Hanlan, Hosmer, and Hamm. He won first prizein the consolation race, beat- ing Gaudaur, Lee, McKay, and a number of others. After this he took in the regatta cir- cuit and was very successful, ending up by cap- turing first at Fall Bi fase, defeat Hanlan, Hosmer, y, Ten Eyck, and a dozen other racing celebrities. At Hulton, Pa., he rowed away with first money from Hamm, Conway, Ross, and Hosmer. Teemer has twice defeated Conway in match races, and has beaten Ross twice and Hanlan twice, Gaudaur has also suffered additional defeat ut his hands. Teemer has rowed in thirty-two races in the ast two years, and has captured every one. uring the past summer his work has been on the regatta circuit, the only match being one with Gaudaur at Point of Pines, Me., where Teemer won the race, and pocketed 21,000 gate money. Teemer's best time for three miles is 19.96%. Thie was made in his race with Hanlan at Toronto, August 18, 1887. 8 ‘Teemer now weighs 1713¢ pounds in walking costume. Williata J. O'Connor was born in Toronto, Canada, 25 ‘years ago, and from boyhood u has been an ardent follower after aquatic sports. He commenced active rowing as an amateur in 1882, being then a member of the Don rowing club and employed in the Toronto offices of the Grand Trunk railway. His first noteworthy effort was his winning of the junior single at Ottawa, and on the same, day, ia com- pany with Enright, he won the double skull, and with the same partner camé in second to O'Connell and Buckley, of Portland, Me., in the double shell race. Following soon after this he and Enright, after a magnificent strug- Je, defeated the Lang brothers on Toronto ay. On August 5, 1883, he captured tho senior single at Hamilton, Ont., and thus won the championship of Caneda. ‘The distance, 1g miles, was covered in 9 minutes seconds, In 1885 O'Connor challenged Ritz, of Pittsburg, to race for $1,000 a side, but the Pittsburg man declined. This brought O'Connor within the profewsional pale and in September 1887. he rowed against Hamm, at Toronto, for $1,000 a side, winning the race by 5 lengths in 20 minutes. 15 seconds. His next appearance was at Buffalo, N. Y., on July 4, Here he had some good men to contend with, the cracks who started, being Hanla Hamm, Bubear, of England; Courtney ani O'Connor. The water on this occasion was very rough andshortly after rounding the turn O'Connor's boat was swamped; he was then a clone second to Hanlan, As rapidly as possible he made his way ashore, dumped the water out of his shell, returned to the course and won third money. beating Bubear and Courtney. O'Con- nor then challenged Wallace and a race was arranged. Ross, however, backed out, and O'Connor took the ‘money, after rowing over the ‘course, | Peterson was O'Connor's next victim, and he succumbed at ‘ancisco on Mareh'28 of this year, O'Connor winning by four lengths, in 20 minutes 17 seconds, Then George W. Lee thoughthe would try O'Connor, ‘and on August 15 lost the race and @500 stakes to the Toronto boy. At the Sturgeon Point regatta, on August 18, O'Connor defeated Gi daur, Lee, and Wise, winning easily in 19 min- tee 48 seconds. Stripped for the race to-day O'Connor weighed 164 pounds.

BELMONT—HOW MR, BELMONT SOARED A FRENCH COUNT OUT OF FRANCE—SENATOR BLAIR'S RE- ‘MARKS ABOUT DURLING. There are probably not many dueling men in Congress, A few havo the reputation of being quick on the trigger, and s number are said to carry pistols, Some of the most cour- ‘geous and quickest to resent an insult never go armed. Several of the members of the Fiftieth Congress are ccack pistol shots and expert swordsmen. Two or three of them can defend themselves with their fists skillfully. The Blackburn-Rucker affair brings up the discussion of the courage of public men. It is @ great mistake to imagine that southern men are the only ones who are quick with a “gun.” No one would suspect the mild and courteous little member from New York, who has just been sent to Spain, Mr. Perry Belmont, of deing a‘ fire-eater.” "Yet it is advisable for a man who wants to avoid a duel not to attempt to put an insult upon him. He is one of 1 best shots and most expert swordsmen in this country, and he has proved his courage. BELMONT AND BLACNE. It is not publicly known how near he and Mr. Blaine came to having a meeting on the field of honor. During the tilt between them when the famous Peruvian investigation was ‘ogress both men got very angry. Yet the publicity that was given to the affair was an- noying to both. Either would have been very glad to have got out of it honorably without more ado. Mr. Belmont confided to a friend the fact that he would be willing at any time, if agreeable to Mr. Blaine, to go with him out- side the jurisdiction of the United Btates, so a8 not to violate the laws of the country, and set tle the matter according to the law of the code, with either piss=*< or aw Somehow or other the affair’ wae conducted that no challenge actually passed between them, but Mr. Belmont's disposition was known to Mr. Blaine, or to his friends, ‘THE COUNT SOUGHT SAFETY IX FLIGHT. ‘When Mr. Belmont was in Parishe had an affair of honor on “hand, but his antagonist, French nobleman, ran away to avoid the con- flict, At that time an engagement between Mr. Belmont anda beautiful young lady, who, be- sides being beautiful, was worth several million dollars, had just been broken off. A romance of that sort, involving people of such wealth and prominence on both sides, was, of course, much talked of in society and at the clubs, There was much speoulation as to the reason for the breaking off of the match. The par- ties interested were silent. A certain count, who was a prominent club man, and withal a reat gossip, undertook to give the reason. ublicly at the club, in the presence of several of Mr. Belmont’s friends, but in that gentle- man’s absence, he proclaimed loudly that the engagement had been broken off because of Mr. Belmont’s dissipated habits. This was in face of the well-known fact that Mr. Bel- mont was not in the least dissipated. His friends reported the matter to him, and he at once sent a friend to the count with achallenge. The count denied having made the statement, and Lge the denial in writing. Mr. Belmont re- fused to accept this statement, stating that several of his friends had heard what was said, and no denial could be credited. He demanded a hostile meeting. His seconds went back to the count with this message. Mr. Belmont’s skill, both with swords and with the pistol, was well known in Paris, and the count had no desire to test it. He sent a m back that he now remembered having some very foolish language while under the influence of wine the evening before, and that he was very sorry for it. ‘To this message the second added ‘the followin; “If this is not satisfactory you will have to telegraph further communications, The count has gone to England.” ‘The count’s action was made club, and that ended the affair. Belmont may be depended upon to maintain the Ameri- can dignity at the Spanish cupital, and will do credit to the Yankee reputation for pluck, if necessary. But he is not « braggart, and has not @ disposition to quarrel. SENATOR BLAIR MIGHT FIGHT. A few months ago Senator Blair, who comes from the staid old state of New Hampshire, supposed still to preserve intact meas- of strict Roritanioal i les, extad con- by @ pul ¥ effect that he would fight a duel if challenged. He said at that time that be believed the late war might bave been averted if northern men had entertained other notions on dueling. He reasoned that the notion that had got abroad in the north that northern men lacked valor had much influence. A few duels before the war, he thought, might h d this opinion.

We have a class of critics in this country who make it their special province to decry the alleged flippancy and superficiality of the newspapers, With an essumption of superior wisdom that never justifies itself by its works, they declare in a persistent and tiresome way that the daily press isa mere purveyor of idle gossip and loose opinions of men and things, One of these arrogant apostles of culture, Mr. Chas. Eliot Norton, insists that even the larg- est and strongest of our public journals “ad- dress themselves solely to the task of giving the news of the day, and the items of rews which they collect with the most assiduity are those which gratify a vicious taste for sensa- tions, scandals, coarse personalities and the like.” “He is good enough to admit that these Papers must be assumed to meet the demauds of the majority of readers, or they would not | survive and flourish; but that only emphasizes | the fact. he consinden, that the editors are = gaged in a sort of conspiracy to prevent People from obtaining solid and profitable mei.tal The injustice and unfairness of this estimate could bardly be more pronounced.
