Willis, the new minister to Ha- wait, had a short conference with Secretary Gresham at the State Department this morning. at which he was informed that there was no special occasion for haste in his departure for Honolulu. He will there- fore spend a few days at his home, arrang- ing his private affairs. He left this after- noon and will return to Washington soon after he shall have been confirmed and re- ceive his final instructions.

He Died of Heart Fatlure Mountains of Japan. Information has been received at the Navy Department in regard to the death of Prog. George Foulk, who resigned from the navy to accept a diplomatic position at Seoul, Corea, in the absence of the American minister during the serious trou- bles in Corea a few years ago. At the time of his death Mr. Geo. Foulk was @ professor at the Doshesha College, Kyoto, Japan. He and Mrs. Foulk, who is a Japanese, were staying in Hakone and on August 6 they started for a week’s walk in ‘the mountains with Prof. Bell, also of the college. After ascending to the symmit of* Nino-Kura Yama the three st to return and Mrs. Foulk and Prof. Bell’ suddenly missed Mr. Foulk. They made a search for the missing man, but were unsuccessful. Returning to the hotel they raised an alarm and: that afternoon Prof. Foulk was found dead in the roun- tains. An was held and a verdict veturned of death from heart failure. the ORDERS FOR RIO. Our Naval Vessel Bras! The original intention of sena@s the cruiser Detroit to Greytown was abandoned today and new orders were sent to her com- manding officer to proceed instead to Rio de Janeiro with the utmost dispatch. The original orders to the flagship Newark are unchanged, and she will also proceed to Rio without delay. This action indicates that affairs in Brazil are considered to be in a very serious state. The hope of the naval officials to catch the gun boat Yorktown at some South American port, so that she could be sent to Rio, was dissipated by the receipt of a dis- patch from her commanding officer this morning saying that the vessel had left Colonia, Venezuela, near the mouth of the La Plata river, Saturday for the Pacific, via the Straits ‘of Magellan. No news has yet bean received of the cruiser Charles- ton, but it is believed she will touch at Rio | or Montevideo within a day or two to take |on coal. No further news in regard to the situation has been received at the State Department. —————+o+____ Presidential Nominations. The President today sent to the Senate the following appointments: Chas. H. J. Taylor of Kansas, United States minister to Bolivia. James Butcher of New Jersey, collector of internal revenue for the first district of New Jersey. Chas.

The Citizens and the Congressional Committee Meet. CHAIRMAN GARDNER'S REPORT. Senators and Representatives Have Been Invited to Attend. THE SILVER BADGES. The joint committee of the House and Senate and the citizens’ committee on the corner stone centenntal held a conference this morning in the room of the Senate committee on finance, Senator Voorhees presiding. The congressional joint commit- tee was represented by Senators Voor- hees and Sherman and Representatives Warner and Coggswéll. Mr. Lawrence Gardner, Mr. A. R. Spofford, Mr. M. I. Wel- ler, Mr. Beriah Wilkins, Mr. H. L. Biscoe, Gen. Duncan S. Walker, Dr. J. M. Toner, Mr. Edward Clark, architect of the Capi- tol, Mr. Ed. Hay and Mr. M. W. Wines of the citizens’ committee were present. Chairman Gardner's Report. Mr. Lawrence Gardner, chairman of the citizens’ committee, made the following Teport to the joint committee: “Acting under the instructions of the joint committee of Congress, -a special stand, capable of accommodating 1,000, with the necessary seats, extending from the cen- | tral steps in a northern direction, has been | set apart for the exclusive use of the House and Senate. In this connection I beg to suggest that, in accordance with custom, the stand be turned over when completed to the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, who shall have charge of the same and of the issuli of tickets thereto. “Under the instruction of the joint com- mittee, of the number of 1,000 souvenir invitations printed, the number of 904 have been issued to the persons designated by your joint committee, leaving ninety-six only at the disposal pf the general commit- tee. A list of the distribution is herewith submitted. . “A grand stand will be erected in front of the central portion of the east front to ac- Sommodate the President of the United States, the speakers participating in the ceremonies, the judiciary, the ‘diplomatic corps and other guests invited under di- rection of your joint committee. “Another stand eat ey omg pies the central portion of the building 1s in course of construction to accommodate the band and the grand chorus ot a to the approaches to the ‘building on the 18th of September, some arrangement will have to be made to keep the central steps clear, and I suggest that that be left as a matter of accommodation between the Ser- geant-at-Arms of the Senate and the chair- of the general committee. ras instructed, letters have been drawn up addressed respectively to the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House, inviting thelr respective bodies to be pres- ent, copies of which are submitted herewith. Taiso beg to suggest that, as is usual under such circumstances, an order be passed by each house arranging for their participation im the ceremonies.” + Senators and Representatives Invited. Mr. Gardner informed the“chairman that letters had-been addressed to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, Inviting those respective bodies to attend the ceremonies. It was suggested and greed to by Mr. Vobrhees that some time during the week a motion will be made in the Senate that: on Seftember 18, at 2 o'clock, the Senate take a recess for two hours to attend the celebration. A similar motion will probably be made in the House. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Voorhees it was agreed that all, details relating to the handling of the crowds at the Capitol be relegated to the sergeants-at-arms of the House and Senate and the architect of the Capitol. Mr. Spofford asked what will be done in case of rain upon the 16th, to which Mr. Voorhees. replied that the citizens’ com- mittee may decide that matter as it pleases. Mr. Gardner said the citizens’ committee had’ provided. the two Houses with 1,000 seats, the fullest Mmit of its capacity, and if the celebration does not come up to expec- tations the failure must be charged to the dull times. “Do you mean by that the effects of the Sherman act?” asked Mr. Voorhees, dryly. Mr. Sherman only smiled grimly, however, while the committee laughed. Mr. Gardner informed the chairman that the congres- sional joint committee will be presented with silver badges. “That's right,” said Mr. Voorhees, “‘we are bimetallists and will take gold or silver as it comes.” No other business coming before the committee a motion for adjournment was made by Mr. Spofford and agreed to. The architect of the Capitol and the sergeants-at-arms of the Senate and House will confer upon the details of the handling of the crowde at the Capitol and the seating of the guests. The Parade. Gen. Ordway, the chief marshal of the Procession to take place next Monday, has fesued the following order as to his staff and the marshals of the several divisions: Having been designated by the general committee as chief marshal of the proces- sion on September 18, 1883," in connection with the centennial ceremonies of the lay- ing of the corner stone of the Capitol, I announce the following appointments: Chief of staff—Gen.

The Tucker Measure Adopted, Which is Sweeping in Its Terms—Possi Effect om the Repeal Bill. There ts no new light Tet in on the Sen- ate situation and a great deal of weariness 1s manifested by those Senators who, though friendly to the use of silver, regard this delay and fighting over the repeal of the Sherman Jaw as very unwise and un- fortunate. On account of the peculiar con- ditions under which the forces in support of repeal are organized, members of both Parties making up the vote by which the bill passed the House, and the measure being dependent upon republican votes for Passage by the Senate, every other prop- osition for legislation, every legislative move and the whole policy of Congress seem to be involved in this measure and its friends are constantly in a state of alarm lest some other legislation be at- tempted which might offend the republi- can supporters of repeal or in some way throw a barrier across the track of the ‘Voorhees bill. The Federal Elections Bill. Now that it is expected that the propo- sition to repeal the federal election laws will come up in the House this week, a good many of the friends of .the Voorhees bill are alarmed lest the partisan discus- sion over the federal election laws should 80 anger some of the republicans as to cause them to withdraw their support from the other propositions. They fear that the partisanship which will develop on the one questions will have a reflex action on the | other and give the administration some | trouble. The House, however, contemplates | going ahead with the federal election prop- { osition. The democrats of the committee having in charge that measure met today and decided upon a bill to be presented. | They adopted the Tucker bill, which re- peals all laws on the statute books which authorize the use of troops at the polls: all laws which give the federal government y jurisdiction over the elections in the states and over the registration of voters in the states. It is a sweeping measure, destroying the federal jurisdiction estab- Mshed during the reconstruction period and since. The bill will be formally laid before the whole committee tomorrow and then reported to the House. Notice will be given that it will be called up for consideration on Thursday, and it is expected that the House will adjourn over until that day. The Discussion on the Voorhees Bill. Meanwhile, the discussion over the Voor- hees bill goes on without any, indication of an approaching end and the advocates of repeal are perplexed as to the course they should pursue to hasten a vote. They fear that any move toward forcing the matter to a conclusion will only furnish a diver- sion from the main issue and prolong the fight. So they are compelled for the pres- ent at least to worry on through the weary delay and to wait for something to turn up to end the matter. e+ THE MITCHELL INVESTIGATION. Treasury Officials Do Not Fully Ap- preciate Its Comicality. The officials of the Tredsury Department do not appear to fully appreciate the comi- cality of the so-called investtzation of Capt. Mitchell, commanding the revenue steamer Crawford. As has been already shown by The Star, that officer, who ts charged by his brother officers with offenses of a:most serious character, is exercising “paramount authority” over the vessel where the Inves- tigation 1s in progress, as weil aa over the board supposed to be making it, and all the witnesses necessary to itv ‘enlighten- ment. To a layman it appears as if Capt. Mitchell were investigating nis accusers, in- stead of being himseffiunder investigation. He has supreme and of tHe vessel, and no one is allow: board without his consent. T tion is being con- ducted in his cabin, qid the‘ofticers consti- tuting the court of i@guiry are presumably his guests. He is presfnt at all the procead- ings, and his accuser are only allowed to be present one at a time, as they may be called upon by the board at his investiga- tion. ‘The Responsibility for Secrecy. He was the first witness examined by the board, and was allowed to put in his de- fense before any of the witnesses in sup- port of the charges were allowed to be heard. He is to.be held responsible for in- ducing the board toasit in secret. He has @ particular aversion to newepspe: men, and by his orders none of the guild is per- mitted to board the steamer. ‘The duties of the board are viewed at the ‘Treasury Department as exceeding!y »imple, and do not call for any circumlocution. ‘The board has but to hear evidence on the charges made, and submit its report to the | Treasury Department. It merely submits the evidence received’ by {t, and is not called on for a verdict one way or the other. It is for the Secretary of the Treasury alone to say whether the case calls for any punishment. . What Assistant Secretary Hamlin Says Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who has di- rect supervision of \the revenue marine service, and who ordered this particular in- vestigation, sald to a Star reporter today that he had received no information to in- dicate that there was anything wrong with the investigation, but that he would not hesitate to act in case he was satisfied of any irregularities in the proceedings. He said he had been so busy with cther mat- ters that he had not paid any attention to the investigation since he had directed that it be made. He had not ordered a secret investigation. From other sources it was learned that the Treasury Departmtnt had not enjoined secrecy on the board, and that the board had entire discretion in the matter. THE POL(CE FORCE. It in Thirty-Two Years Old Today. Thirty-two years ago the board of metro- politan police commissioners—Messrs. Z. C. Robbins, Richard Butts, W. H. Tenney, J. F. Brown, Geo. 8. Gideon and Mayors Rfch- ard Wallach and Henry Addison—put} in operation the force under Superintendent W. B. Webb, who is yet living and in active practice. All the commissioners excepting Mr. Joseph F. Brown, who is now living in Indianapolis, and Mr. Robbins are dead. ‘There were then appointed 150 men, and of these but five remain in the force of those who went on duty that day, viz, Lieute: ants C. R. Vernon, John F. Kelly and Jas. W. Gessford of the fourth, sixth and eighth precincts respectively, Godwin Pierce, on uty at the District building, and Augustus Brown of the seventh precinct. Officer Anderson of the fifth precinct was ap- pointed among the number, but for some Feason did not go on duty till the following day, and, with the other veterans, seems destined for some years of service. Many of the original appointees are engaged in other pursuits, but the majority have an- swered the last roll call on serth, >_—_ Resignation Called for. Secretary Carlisle hastcalled for the resig- nation of Mr. Hildebrande, surveyor of cus- toms at Indianapolis. i ——— An Application. Mr. J. F. House of Texas has applied for appointment as chief of division of the Treasury Department. —_—_+o+______ The Resclution Signed. ‘The President has approved the joint res- olution making September 18th next (the date of the Capitol corner stone celebra- tion) a legal holiday in the District of Co- lumbia, and the joint resolution to permit the use of certain ensigns, flags and signal numbers to decorate the Capitol = pitol on that FOR SOUND MONEY. A Convention to Assemble in This City Tomorrow. DELEGATES FROM BOARDS OF TRADE Will Come From Every Important City in the Country. THE LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS. At noon tomorrow the Sound Money Con- vention will be called to order at Willard’s Hall by President Darwin, R. James of the New York Board of Trade and Transporta- tion, by which organization the similar or- ganizations of the country to the number of 1,300 or 1,400 were invited to send delegates to represent them in the convention. The convention will probably be in session the greater part of the week, and, while it is impossible to definitely state today the num- ber of delegates which compose the conven- tion, the number will, it is thought, run from 500 to 1,500, and. hardly a city of any size and importance will fail to be repre- sented by delegates from one or more of the financial or commercial organizations of the place. The one great object of the conven- tion will be to give expression through the voice of the assembled delegates of the feel- ing entertained throughout the land relative to the repeal of the Sherman act and urge upon the country the urgent necessity of an immediate repeal of the act. While the convention will be one of the largest and most important conventions of business men ever before held in the coun- try, the convention will not, it is now thought, be as largely attended as it would have been had not the repeal bill been passed by the House by such an over- whelming majority. In fact a number of organizations which had already accepted the invitation to be represented have since the passage of the repeal bill by the House stated that they will not now do so, be- lieving that the great object of the conven- tion is as good as accomplished. But, as already explained, the convention will be great one, and it ts not tmprobable that a rmanent national board of trade, with eadquarters in this city, will be organized as a result of the present convention, com- posed of delegates from every financial and commercial organization in the country. It is certain that such a project will be brought to the attention of the convention and enthustastically urged. ‘The Local Arrangements. While the invitations to participate in to- morrow’s convention were sent out by the New York board of trade, the Washington board of trade will be largely responnible for the complete success which It 1s expect- ed will attend the labors of the delegutes. President B. H. Warner and Secretary Alex. D. Anderson have been most enthu- stastic and untiring in their efforts in coi nection with the convention. Wiilard’s Hall, F between 14th and 15th streets, has been engaged as the meeting place of the convention, and shouki the number of dele- gates exceed the accommodations of that hall, a much larger hall will be engaged. The entire second floor of the Glover butld- ing, 1419 F street northwest, has bean en- gaged for the accommodation of visiting lelegates, and will be known as convention headquarters, with Chairman Anderson of the reception committee, appointed by President Warner from the local board of trade, in charge. Chaitman Anderson's associates on the committee are Messrs. Thomas Somerville, 8. W. Curriden, W. H. Moses and F. L. Moore. The local board of trade will be represented in the convention by the fol- lowing delegates: B. H. Warner, chairman; Thomas W. Smith, 8. W. Woodward, Geo. T. Dunlop and C. J. Bell. Some Delegates Already Here. No regular program has as yet been ar- ranged, and it is not improbable that the convention will be called to order at noon morrow without such a program having arranged, although a preliminary pro- gram may be arranged this evening or to- morrow morning, should a sufficiently large number of delegates have arrived. Presi- dent B. H. Warner of the local board will ‘welcome the delegates. At noon today comparatively few dele- gates had arrived at headquarters, where ft has been arranged that they shail regis- ter. Among those who have registered to- ay were President Darwin R. James of the New York board of trade and transporta- tion, Frank 8. Gardner, acting secretary of that body; President Chartes B. Adams of the Massachusetts board of trade, Edwin L. Sprange of that board, Charles H. Wey- gant and Wm. Foster of the Newburg (N. ¥.) board of trade. H. H. Sheldon and Weo. E. Newell of the Pawtucket (R. I.) Business Men's Association, Wm. Brookfield of the New York board of trade and transporta- tion.

Affairs were quiet at the White House to- day. There are special reasons for that now. The girl baby is doing well and so is Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs. Perrine arrived here Saturday night and will remain with her daughter until she ts able to leave her bed. There was no special change today in the President's routine for Monday. He spent most of the day in his office, considering public questions, and received no visitors outside of the cabinet circle. Postmaster General Bissell had a long conference with him in the afternoon on official matters. Telegrams and letters of congratulation are pouring in from friends in all parts of the country and from some who are in foreign parts. No messages have yet been received from foreign rulers, but it is too soon for them, as, according to court eti- quette, they must be forwarded only by mail Many Moral offerings have been re- celved at the White Ho’ ceived use from intimate ———_-e-—_____ Silver Movements.

When the Senate proceedings opened to- day there were just ten democratic Senators (including Mr. Voorhees of Indiana) in their seats, while on the republican side of the chamber there were sixteen in their seats, including Mr. Hale of Maine. In presenting some petitions in favor of the free colnage of silver Mr. Peffer (Kan.) said he noticed that there was a general impression in the newspaper press of the country that when a Senator or Repre- sentative introduced a bill by réquest, he was held personally responsible fér its con- tents. His attention had been called to that fact recently by criticisms of himself which he found in the newspapers because he introduced last week, at the request of the author, a bill proposing the establish- ment of a university in the District of Columbia. He did not think such criticisms fair. On Chinese Exelu Mr. Dolph (Oreg.), in presenting a remon- strance against the execution of the Chi- nese exclusion act from the Oregon confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church, said that that petition illustrated what he had said the other day, that much of the criticism of the Geary act came from per- sons entirely unfamiliar with it. He pointed out wherein the conference was mistaken as to the requirements of the law, and, re- ferring to the bill recently introduced in the House to extend the requirements, of the act for one year, e Wo fave no objection to that bill If the Chi- Nese government requested the extension. or if the Chinese Six Companies promised to advise the Chinese laborers to register. In connection with the same subject, Mr. Hoar (Mass.) introduced a bill prepared by the Rev. Mr. Green, who had been a missionary in China, but he said that he of the bill. It was referred to the commit- tee on foreign relations. The Capitol Centennial. Mr. Sherman (Ohio) from the committee on the.celebration of the hundredth anni- versary of laying the corner stone of the Capitol (next Monday) reported a resolu- tion that the Senate take part in the cere- monies, and for that purpose shall take a recess at ten minutes before 2 p.m. The was agreed to. Stewart (Nev.) offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee of five Senators to inquire whether any Senator is or has been a stockholder or directly or indirectly interested in any national, bank. He was led to offer it, he said, becatise the Wall street and Lombard street 01 had been claiming that Senators from th@silver states should not vote on questions in which they were personally interested. At the same time he disclaimed having any per- sonal interest in silver mining nor had he had, he said, for the last fifteen years. His wife had some years ago invested some money in an abandoned silver mine in Mexico, but that mine, after having had the water pumped out a year ago, was again closed on account, aot the low price ot zitver. and would never be opened again if the re- Deal bill became a law. Hill's Opposition. Mr. Hill (dem. N. Y.) opposed the resolution as something unprecedented and unheard of, and which would not serve any good pur- Bose. He admitted that it had its excuse in the suggestion made that Senators:from the silver states were actuated in thelr course by reason of their own financial or-industrial interest. What precedent, he asked, would be established by the adoption of the reso- lution? When the Senate was to’ consider the tariff question was it to have'an inves- tigating committee to inquire what'Senators were interested in manufactures or in im- Porting? When the Senate came to legislate on commercial matters, was it to inquire what Senators were pecuniarily: interested in the great question of commerce? Senators had a right to be interested, both directly and indirectly, in matters of finance: and their votes could not be affected s He could not resist the couclusion that the offering of the resolution was, to some ex- tent, a reflection on the Senate. He had sustained, the other day, the Senator from Nevada in offering a resolution calling for information as to the.finances of the coun- try. He had thought that that resolution ought not to be referred to the finance com- mittee. But this resolution was entirely dif- ferent. It should be, elther voted down or referred to the finance committee. Mr. Stewart was about to reply to Mr. Hill, but Mr. Hawley (Conn.) intervened with an objection to the resolution, which thereupon, under the rules, went over until tomorrow—Mr. Stewart ‘informing Mr. Hawley that he would then debate it. The Senate:then, at 1 p. m., proceedad to the consideration of the bill'to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Mr. Tellor_who hat the floor to finish his speech, begun on tus y—offerel to it to Mr. Pugh (Ala.). on Mr. Pagh on. the President's Message. Mr. Pugh thereupon addressed the Senate in opposition to the'bill. He had read and re-read, he said, the m of the Presi- dent convening Congress, and foun’ it to be an explicit declaration. in favor of the maintenance of the gold |standard in the currency of the United States until to bimetallism by International agrecsents wees al ee afford the oniy remedy could “mitigate present danger,threat- ening the future,” sf is It was the first time that Congress been convened in-extraordinary session ine the sole purpose of tl Ww was one which mo Senator or belidved to be the cause of the existing financial derangement. What necessity was there, he asked, for the extraordinary ses. sion. or for the pressure and clamor for im- mediate action, which would be a mockery and an insult to the common sense and on dinary intelligence of the people? There was not a word or sentence in the message expressing any favor or friendship for bi. metallism, or that cpuntenanced the addi- tion of one more stlver dollar to the curren- cy. The message clearly meant that the government had discharged its duty in fur- Dut hed fatied tn the quay ans core, a in the ity and so of the ctreulation. mes Our Unfortunate Financial Plight. The President declared that the country was in an “unfortunate financial plight;” that values supposed to be fixed were fast becoming conjectural, and that loss and failure had invaded evety branch of busi- ness, What, Mr. Pugh asked, did the Prest- dent think was the cause of these unprece- dented and disastrous condition: ie President thought that those thigas were Piincially chargeable to congressional leg- islation touching the purchase and coinage (not the purchase alone) of silver by the general government, and specified the Sher. man law and the disappointing-result_ which had followed it. That Mr. Pugh held to be an unmistakable charge by the President that the failure of the Sherman law to in- crease the price of silver was the origin of the evil. The message presented, he said, the square issue whether the United States should come to the gold standard of Eu rope or should cling to the use of the con- stitutional union of gold and silver as a standard of values. He (Mr. Pugh) aid not propose to read any man out of the democratic party because he differed with him on the terms to be presented in a sub- stitute for the Sherman law so as to pre- serve the unity of both metals and to maintain bimetallism by positive law. Parties and politicians might sometimes Deople, but such success was only tempo- rary short lived.

Third Contest of the Cup De- fenders. ‘THE RACE T0 WINDWARD AND RETURN. The Outer Mark Rounded First by the Vigilant. a SEEN FROM THE HIGHLANDS. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, Sept. 11.—This is the last day appointed for the third trial race between the Jubilee, Pilgrim, Colonia snd Vigilant. The weather was simply per- fect this morning, and everybody interested in the outcome of the trials expected to see the best race of the series today. The wind was blowing a stiff breeze from the north- east, and the sky indications were that it would grow stronger. It was blowing about fifteen miles an hour. ‘The course today was to be fifteen miles to windward and return, the start to be made from either the Scotland light ship or the Sandy Hook light ship, as the com- mittee of the Atlantic Yacht Club might de- cide. When well outside the Pilgrim hoisted her jib staysail and dropped her tug. The Jubi- lee, which had been leading the fleet out, put about, her mainsail in the meantime having been dropped. She then headed up toward the Narrows, but it was impossible from this point to decide whether or not she was in trouble. It was conjectured, however, that she had only put about to meet the flag ship May, which was coming down behind the racers, The sea was moderate. All the condi- tions were perfect for a splendid race. ‘The Start. At 11:20 a signal was set on the flag ship, which from this point read that the course was to be due east. The wind seemed to be hauling a little to the southward, and was gaining strength. The compass sig- nal was hauled down and another signal was flying from the triatic stay of the May, the signal for the yachts to make ready for the start. At 11:30 the preparatory gun was fired and ten minutes later the signal to start was given. To observers on the platform beneath one of the twin Highland lights the yachts appeared to cross the line at the fol- lowing times: Hours. Minutes. Seconds. Vigilant. n 0 6 ‘Colonia. n ro 3 Jubilee. n a 10 Pilgrim. n a 2 The Vigilant was on the starboard tack and well to the windward. The Jubilee and Pilgrim did not get off in time to escape the handicap, which it is figured out here would amount to nearly three minutes. Colonia went about on the port tack at 11:47:19, fol- lowed by Vigilant at 11:47:19, Jubilee went on the port tack at 11:50 and was doing some handsome sailing. The Jubilee was to the leeward and was sailing so fast that she would soon be in the lead. None of the boats were carrying topmasts. Colonia Ahead. At 11:55 the Colonia was ahead. At 11:10 Colonia went about on the star- board tack. At 12:00:03 Vigilant followed suit. At 125 Vigilant and Colonia were dropping to leeward. The Jubilee went out on a starboard tack at 12:05. The Vigilant was being beautifully han- died and was eating her way up in the wind, It was a fine race between Colonia and Vigilant.

Oc- casionally vhe racers luffed up, as an extra strong flaw struck them, but they were all standing well up to it. At 12:18:30 Colonia went to the leeward of the Sandy Hook lightship. ‘The Vigilant passed to the windward of the Sandy Hook Mghtship at 12:22:50, leav- ing it on the port about half a mile distant. ‘The racers then headed straight in for Rockaway Beach. Vigilant went into stays and’ tacked at 12:26:30, heading southeast. At 12:31 Vigilant crossed the bow of the Pilgrim about two miles to the windward. At 12:33 the Vigilant apparently crossed the bow of the Jubilee. At 12:34 Vigilant stood off on the starboard tack. Again they were all on the starboard tack. The excurston boats were sticking to the Vigilant, which was supposed here to mean that she was expected to round the stake boat first. The Colonia was sailing by herself. Co- lonia tacked ship at 12:42:40, standing on the port tack and well over to the Rock- away shore. At 12:48.50 Colonia crossed the Pilgrim's bow. The Vigilant and Jubilee were then apparently leading. The long leg made by the Colonia did not seem to do her any 00d, she having stood too far in shore. At 12:55 it was estimated that the Jubl- lee and Vigilant were at least a half mile to the windward of the others. Colonia went about on the starboard tack at 12:32.10, and again they were all heading in toward Rockaway. Jubilee went about on the port tack at 1:08 and crossed the stern of the Vigilant at 1:04.50. At 1:08.43 Jubilee went astern of the Colon. Vigilant went into stays at 1:11, going on the port tack. At 1:12.32 Vigilant cross- ed Colonia’s bow. ‘At 1:15.45 Pilgrim round- ed on the port tack, followed by Colonia on the same tack at 1:29.56. The Vigilant Appeared Ahead. ‘The Vigilant neared the stake boat at 1:30, and as near as can be judged from this point she is about one mile and a balf ahead of the other yachts. All were standing off on the port tack. They were now hull down in the distance. At 146 the Vigilant and Jubilee went on the starboard tack, and it was thought they would round the turning mark on this ‘The Colonia took the tack soon after the Vigilant, leaving the Pilgrim the only one | Standing to port. The wind still held steadily, and ance around the turning points the racers will come to the finish with a rush. It was a little smoky on the horizon, but not enough so to cause much inconvenience in distinguishing the boats while they remain above the horizon. The Pilgrim was mak- ing @ long leg of this tack. At 2:11:50 the Jubilee went to the wina- ward of the Vigilant, crossing the latter's Vigilant Rounding the Stake. At 210 p. m. the Vigilant went on the Port tack and stood for the stake boat, which she rounded at 2:12 p. m. She was apparently leading by two miles.
