Valkyrie will have to go into her initial race to-morrow an untried boat. Neither her de- signer nor captain has the slightest idea how she will behave in a fair breeze. The cruise from Southampton here was simply a drift through a thick fog. Betting men at the London clubs waited to see what Valkyrie would do on this cruise around the coast before staking their money. There is absolutely noth- ing to guide them. To-night the betting is even that Valkyrie won't take two out of the three races against Irex and Yarana, Valkyrie got away from Southampton early Sunday. Lord Dunraven and party did not sail in her. She had hardly cleared the Isle of Wight be- fore the fog wrapped her in Cimmerian dark- ness. She made the trip through the channel, and the passage was very dangerous, There were occasional gusts that filled the big main- sail, but they only served to show that the spinnaker-boom was not fairly slung, and that agood many hurried slips would have to be remedied at Gravesend before the cutter could be made ready for the race. Early to-day a tug was sighted off Beachy road, She took Valkyrie in tow and arrived here with her this afternoon. The World cor- spondent went out ina steam launch to meet her. Lord Dunraven and others were anxiously awaiting her arrival. The new boat is declared by yachtsmen here the handsomest cutter ever seen on the Thames. To American eyes her deck seems rather encumbered with com- panions and skylights, Her mainsail sits like a card. ‘The World correspondent asked Capt. Diaper how the boat behaved. “We did not get wind enough,” he said, “to see what she really could do; but under the conditions she behaved beautifully. I think she will do alot better than the Thistle. The Americans must bring out a good boat to beat her.” ‘Do you think she would stand any chance against the Volunteer.” “I think it would be a most unequal contes' Irex, which will be Valkyrie’s chief compe’ tor to-morrow, came up the river with Captain O'Neill, who is believed in England to be the best racing captain in the world. The captain looked his new rival carefully over. He be- lieves that with a fair race the America cup is coming to this side of the water. Everything that can float is here to see the race. Long after dark Valkyrie was surrounded by small boats containing yachtsmen eager to inspect her. No one was allowed on bourd, as the crew of carpenters had an all-night job before them to get her in trim to start. There was a report late to-night that Lord Dunraven would not start her till Thursday, but it is impossible to confirm it. phir nticat “ Birthplace of the President’s Mother. ‘Treasurer Huston, who has been visiting in Chambersburg, Pa., announced that President Harrison would make a trip to Franklin county during the coming summer to see his mother’s birthplace. Gen. Harrison's mother was Eliza- beth Irwin, daughter of Archibald Irwin, and she was born about 10 miles from Chambers- burg, in Montgomery township. ‘The old stone house in which she was born is still standing.

Naval ndet W. O. Gibbs, of the fourth class, Naval academy, having recently rescued a son of Mr. Julian N.

Y.) pointed b re Er~ how successfull¥ he has accomplished his duty. He has obtained from the holy father all that our most sanguine expectations could desire. But, besides futillmg the mission assigned to him by the university board, he has reflected honor on the American church by his zeal and piety, his eloquence, tact aud benevolent dis- position, which have won for himscif so much admiration and affection, and have elicted a heartfelt sympathy for the cause in which he was especially interested.” BISHOP KEANE’S REMARKS. Bishop Keane, in reply to the toast in his honor, spoke with much feeling. force, and clo- quence. He said that he was gratified to meet so many men who evidenced an interest in the great work of the university, which was now an assured success, He spoke’ of his trip to Eu- rope and his success in securing the approval of the pope when he began the second and most difficult part of his task—the selection of a competent corps of professors, It was the in- tention at the carliest possible moment to have the university equipped by a corps of compe- tent American professors, but that was not yet practicable. The university would be enabled to open for active work in the middle of Novem- ber with acomplete corps of men well equipped for their work. He had secured European pro- fessors who were comparatively young men, and who have the greatest sympathy, love, and veneration for American institutions and desire to live in America. Those critics who accused him of bringing over men with monarchical ideas were ignorant of the facts. ‘The tone of the institution would be distinctively American, and the young men who went out from its walls would be thorough Americans, ready and eager to perform’ their full duty as citizens of the republic. On his return to this country he found that all had been go- ing well here. ‘The first building was nearly ready for occupancy, and already students were knocking at the doors for admission. In con- clusion Bishop Keane invited all present to at- tend the inauguration of the university in No- vember. THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, Replying to the toast, “The Catholie Univer- sity of America,” Rev. P. J. Garrigan, its vice- rector, gave an admirable and impressive sketch of the design of the university, the manner in which it has been established and the great work which lies before it. Rev. J. Havens Richards, president of Georgetown university, in speaking as repre- sentative of “Sister Universities,” referred to the suggestion which has been made, that ex- isting Catholic institutions might be jealous of the new university, and said that no’ one wel- comed it «s heartily as the colleges and univer- sities alreas tablished. The great needs of the existing system of Catholic education were organization and concentration, and these would be supplied by the new institution. It would meet with co-operation, not opposition. He concluded his scholarly and polished re- sponse with a tribute to Washington as a great center of literature and science, and com- mended the wisdom of its selection as the site of the university. Ex-Commissioner W. B, Webb responded to the toast to Washingt: He apologized for reading his response with the statement that he bad on that day lost his head, and that he had been so much occupied by the performance that he had not had time to prepare an extem- poraneous speech, He sketched the beauties of Washington. The closing toast, to the press, elicited a speech by Mr. Frank Hatton, of the Post, who contended that the prosperity of the press in America is based upon the liberty which we are permitted to enjoy. He indicated the requi sites of a strong and effective press, dep-4 recated the bitteraess of some partisan publica- tions and suggested that the press is what the people want it to be and what the people make it, ee Real Estate Matters.

HOW HE LEFT MOUNT VERNON. The clause of his will referring to and dis- posing of the mansion house and Mount Ver- non estate properties is in the following words: “To my nephew, Bushrod Washington, his heirs (partly in'consideration of an int tion to his deceased father while we were bachelors, and he had kindly undertaken to superintend iy estate during my military ser- vices in the former war between Great Britain and France; that if I should fall thercia Mount Vernon (then less extensive in domain than at present) should become his property), give and bequeath all that part thereof which is comprehended within the following limits, viz: Begining at the ford of Dogue run, near my mill, and extending along the road, and bounded thereby as it now goes, and ever has gone since my recollection of it, to the ford of little Hunting creek at the Gum spring, until it comes to a knoll — to an old road, which formerly passed through the lower field of Muddy Hole farm, at which, on the i north side of the said road are three red Spanish oaks marked as 2 corner, and a stone place: thence by a line of trees to be marked, rectangular to the back line, or outer boundary of the tract between Thomas Mason and my- self; thence with that line easterly (now double- ditching with a post and rail fence thercon) to the run of Little Hunting creek; thence with that run. which is the boundary of the lends of the late Humphrey Peake and me, to the tide water of the said creek; thence by that water to Potomac river; thence with the river to the mouth of Dogue creek, and thence with the said Dogue creek to the place of beginning at the aforesaid ford, containing upward of four thousand acres, be the same more or less, to- ther with the mansion and all other uildings and improvements thereon.” BUSHROD WASHINGTON’S OWNERSHIP UNDER THE WILL.
