Proud Record of Youthful Soldier Boys. THE COMPETITIVE DRILLS. a No organization connected with the school system of Washington has brought to that system half so much credit and fame as the High School regiment, which today is composed of two battalions and nine companies. This body, by its hard and conscientious work, has not only made for itself a splendid and brilliant record here, but has become well known over a large portion of this country. An organt- zation is effected at the beginning of each school year with entirely new commis- sioned and non-commissioned officers and it is remarkable that at the close of the year the school ts able to turn out a well- drilled body of young soldiers who can hold their own against the finest drillsmen hail- ing from any of the military schools, ex- cepting West Point, in the United States. A stadent enlisting in the regiment in his first year at the High School is placed in the ranks and with each succeeding year he advances, until in his fourth year he holds a commissioned officership. The ca- Lieut. Col. H. H. Adams. ing that his conduct is always of the most gentlemanly character, and the discipline to which he is subjected is as rigid and thorough as that observed in the regular army. The idea of having a military organiza- tion in connection with the regular course of the Boys’ High School, as it was called then, was first conceived’ by Prof. Edward A. Paul, the first principal of the High School, in 1882, and carried into effect the same year- by Prof. G. R. Israel, who had formerly served as captain of one of the military companies at Dickinson College, Pa Accordingly, Mr. Paul. scouted around in the school and succeedal in obtaining the names of 140 young men who were will- ing and eager to aid in the project. A boys each, was then formed, those being able to purchase uniforms were placed in company A, the “picked” company, and those without uniforms were placed in company B, known as the “nandescript” company. By the means of funds. appropri- ated from the proceeds of entertainments Mr, Paul was enabled to purchase: enough old Australian rifles to equip one aompany, the two companies alternating in the use of the rifles. At an entertainment given in June of 1883 the uniformed company gave an exhibition drill, which was loudh’ ap- plauded and which was the first of the long series of exhibition drills given an- nually by the High School cadet corps. The officers of the two companies for that ywar were: Company A-Captain, Alfred A. Smith; first lieutenant, Andrew J. ; second lieutenant, Thomas J. Vansant. Company B—Captain, George H. Ayres: first lieutenant, James H. Brown; second Meutenant, Charles W. Curtis. Captain Barton Ross. ‘The next year Mr. Israel, on account of other duties, was relieved from further auty, and the detail of Major F. H. Bates, a re- tired army officer, was secured as military instructor, but the major, not being familiar with Upton’s new tactics, requested Capt. Burton R. Ross to drill the companies. The mext year Capt. Ross was appointed as military instructor to succeed Major Bevtes, and has continued in that position up to the present day,now being major of the first ivat- talion, District of Columbia National Gua rd. ‘The first public appearance in parade was in ‘May of 1883, when a picked squad represeitt- ed the High School in the Grand Arnwy parade, but the first appearance of the ei 1- tire battalion was on Washington's birth day of 188.

Sev- eral days after the exhibition drill the battalion was reviewed in front of the White House by the President and a num- ber of regular army officers. Distinguishing Everts. In the year of 188-'& fifty more guns were obtained from the War Department. This year showed what the boys were capable of doing, both as to endurance and drilling under disadvantages. On Saturday, the 2ist of February, one of the coldest and most disagreeable days of that wimter, the two companies, with not a cadet absent, and | with no overcoats of any kind whatever, paraded as part of the escort on the occa- sion of the dedication of the Washington monument. All of the other military organ- izations in line were supplied with overcoats and capes, and when the braw: young solr diers, after marching the whale length of Pennsylvania avenue,entered the monument lot, with their ranks on a perfe¢ t alignment, and attired in the neatly cut fatigue uni- form of the High School, showin g the effects of the bitter weather, but determined to brave it to the last, the wholt: crowd as- sembled on the lot broke out i1ito a mighty cheer that plainly showed the: admiration felt by the people, and made the boys feel proud of what they had done. Again, on the 4th of March. the battslon distin- itself in President Cleveland's in- I parade. The first dress parade was given on the 29th of May, in Bonor of the city officials. Probably the priticipal event of the year, and nothing has ev er occurred | like it since, was the departure «f a selected drill squad of twenty-two cadett:, under the command of Major Sohon, for Baltimore, where a fancy drill was’ pret ented that amazed the people of that city. The morning exhibition was given in the Scheutzen Park on the occasian of a Grand Army gathering. The officers of the battal- ion were as follows: Major, Fra terick So- hon. Company A—Captain, S. S.Wilamson; first lieutenant, William S. Armsts ong; sec- ond lieutenant, E. C. Brown. Company B— Captain, C. E. Fleming; first lie utenant, W. S. Teel, jr; second lieutenant, G. A. Lyon, jr. A drum corps was orgas ilzed in the early part of the year, with the follow- ing members: First sergeant, G. K. Rear- don; corporals, C. J. Hopkins, C.M. Bu- chanan, W. F. Tappan, P. H. Cromelein and W. H. Johnson. The following year the battalion: was composed of four companies containing four fours each, and commanded hy the La fetra, det, on enlisting, signs articles of enroll- ment and is obliged! to observe and respect all orders mentioned therein, the result be- battalion of. two companies, containing 70 Company A—Captain, L.

During the year 1896-87 the battalion Picked up considerably in numbers, so much 80 that by the month of May the four com- panies of High School Cadets that took part inthe national drill were among the rgest companies entered. The drill put up by the cadets will always be remem- bered by those who were fortunate enough to witness it; it was the last day of the drill, and it was pouring down rain. The last company of those competing for the prizes had left the parade ground, and the immense crowd was walting for the most youthful organization in the whole drill to make an appearance. As at the dedication of the Washington monument, the boys had no overcoats, and quite a delay was caused in trving to persuade them not to go in the drill with no protection from the rain, | but the boys had made up their minds to enter that drill in spite of the weather, and on the parade ground they went. After a long time of watching and waiting, the immense crowd suddenly gave vent to a loud cheer, as one company after another filed in from the left of the parking. They marched across the field to the center with a heavy, measured step, and when they wheeled ‘into battalion front and marched up to the judges’ stand, they were greeted with another tremendous round of applause Every movement that could be done by pla- toon, company and battalion was executed and in a manner that had not been equaled during the week of the encampment. The grace, the regularity and precision with which the manual of arms was executed won high commendation for the boys, b the firings by file, by company and bat: lion fairly “took ‘the house,” and it. was fully five minutes after the sound of the last firing had died out before the cheer- ing ceased. ‘The corps was the only organ|- zation on the field that drilled in double rank. No organization that was not regularly encamped could compete for the numerous prizes offered. ‘Thus the cadets were de- barred from winning prizes, as they surely would -have done otherwise. The officers Major,Andrew Stewart. Company A— captain, A. M. Davis; first Heutenant, E. A. Davis; second Meutenant, J. M. Henderson. Company B—captain, H. M. Reeve; first lieutenant, C. D.

Barton; seond ileutenant, Charles Dietrich. In this year the grad uates of the High School formed “crack” company, officered, as follow: Captain, Frederick’ Sohon; first Heutenant, William’ Shoales; second iieutenant, G. E. Flem‘ag; first sergeant, L. L. Appi ond sergeant, E. Shoemaker. ‘The officers for 1887-88 were: Major, F. D. Fairchild; captains, William N. Fisher, Edward W. Williams, James T. Newcomb and R. B. Upton; first ileutenants, W. M. Cruikshank, L. J. Willige, J. Wright and F. W. ‘Uber; second leutenants, C. 5. Champion, C, K. Finckel, C, A. Sherman and J. H. Stoutenburgh.’ At the close of this year all of the companies met ina competitive drill, the pri: being won by company A, this being the first of the com- petitive drills which occur annually for the notorious “red ribbons. For 1888-89 the commissioned roster was as follows: Major, W. F. Barden. Compan A—Captain, H. B. Ramey; first F. P. Smith; second leutenant, A. L. Ho ard. Company B—Captain, J. W. Ender: first leutenant, J. V. leutenant, . . Company C—Cap- tain, C. rst lieutenant, G. B. Garrett; enant, J. C. ‘Lew! Company D—Captain, 8. Ferree; first lieut- enant, M. L. Gough; second lieutenant, B. B. Myers. Capt. Ferree's command, com: pany D, won the competitive prize drill, , Pan-American Parade. ‘The following year the cadets made an excellent showing in the Pan-American pa- rade, under the command of Maj. Fred. C. Lawyer, the companies being officered by the following: Company A—Captain, T. 5. Grafton; first ileutenant, G. H. Chandlee; second lieutenant, J. D. Black. Company B—Captain, 8. C. Ford; first lieutenant, A. M. Ashley; second Heutenant, F.C. Klein- schmidt. Company C—Captain, E. 8. Du- vall; first lieutenant, J. Ulke; second lieut- enant, J. M. Chamberlain. Company D— ‘aptain, J. H. Ford;' first Heutenant, P. Finckel; second lieutenant, F. M. Bogan, Company C was the winner of the prize drill for this year. In connection with the battaiion the most popular organization in the High School was what was known as | the “Hongry Duzzen.” The squad was or- ganized in’ i889 by Capt. Ferree, and gave its first exhibition drill in February, that year. ‘The original members were Capt. Ferree, header; First Sergts. Miller, Grafton and yhite, Sergts. Lawyer and LaFetra, Corps. C. Ford, Vale, Kleinschmidt, Black, Ross, J. H. Ford and Chamberlain. The’ squad of 189 was far ahead of the original one, amd had taken parts in about twenty tertainments during the year. The mem- bers of that year were: Capt. 8. C. Ford, leader; Capts. Grafton, Duvall, J. H. Ford, First Lieuts. Ross and Ulke, Lieuts. Black, Kleinschmidt, Chamberlain, Sargts. Ed- wards and Leech, Corps. McRoberts and Cook and Private Mii || On the 16th of May, at an entertainment given in the exhibition hall of the school, | @ gold medal was competed for o; a large | squad of officers in an individual drill. After tubborn contest the prize was finally led to Capt. Duvall. With this cla: the “Hongry Duzzen” will pass out of ex- Istene, but the name it has lett wil always be cherished by the “High School. | The next year the “Jolly Corporals” suc- ceeded the “Hongries.” The squad was composed of Corps. Abbott, Barber, E. H. Cooke, Eastman, Houchen, Keyser, Martin, Merrick, Rose, Smith, Swan and Thompson, : Larger Organization. With the advent of the school and the branch departments, a larger organization than ever before was necessary, so that the Eastern and Business High Schools might be represented in the battalion. Ac- cordingly the battalion was enlarged to six companies, under the command of a leuten- ant calonel. New guns and accouterments were procured in sufficiently large numbers to accommodate all applicants. The roster of officers for 1891 was: Lieutenant colonel, | Gales P. Moore; Company A—Captain, E. Cockrell; first Heutenant, R. D. Moran; ‘sec- | ona leutenant, W. R. Eastman. Company ; B—Captain, C. G. McRoberts; first Meuten- ; second Heutenant, T. ‘aptain, H. DeC, Slater; first Meutenant, C. C. Archfbald; second lieutenant, M. "A, Martin. Company D— Captain, F. McC. Smith; first Meutenant, H. L. Karpeles; second ‘iMeutenant, J. R. Whelpley. Company E—Captain, H. A. ; Dunn; first Heutenant, L. C. Kellogg; sec- jond lieutenant, Thomas Stetson. Company F—Captain, C.'V. Edwards; first leutenant, C. F. Cook; second lieutenant, L. 8. Abbott. ‘The last two companies were organized at he Business and Eastern schools, respec- ively. The cadets at the Eastern being in their first year and none of them having i any previous military experience, the fo! were appointed from the Central. j In the early part of 1891 the National Fenct bles of this city made arrangements for a company or squad competitive drill to be given in one of the large parks and open to all military organizations of the city. Capt. dwards organized a squad at the Eastern High School for the purpose of entering this contest, and although the project failed to materialize, this squad rapidly ecquired & proficiency that was equal to that of any similar squad in the city, and under the ex- cellent instruction of Capt. Edwards and Lieutenants Cook and Abbott, the squad, in the course of a few weeks, became known throughout the whole city. The following young men composed the squad: Sergeants Edwards, Hughes and Kirby; Corporals | Buckler, Cook, Grant and Parker; Privates Buckingham, Cromwell, Jueneman, McKel- din, Nichols, Shilling, Street, Tralles and Harvey. Capt. Dunn organized a fancy squad from company E, composed of Ser- geants Lewis, Pringle, Williams, Young and Lackey; Corporals Nicholls, Demonet, Nel- igar, Underwood and Oliver. ‘That year the individual competitive drill for officers was won by Capt. C. V. Edwards of company F. Competitive Drills. The mest interesting occasion to a pupil of the High School ts the annual competitive drill for superiority among the companies in proficiency in drill, and the judges stated that the drill of May 29th, was the closest of any that they had honor to witness. The drill the Academy of Music, before the first company came on standing room was at a premium on floors. A report that companies E and F were putting up excellent practice drills ex- cited intense interest in the occasion, al- though it appeared as if there was no show for either of them winning the prize flag, then floating the streamers of companies A, D and C, the winners for the past three years. The prize flag is a beautiful silk banner, bearing upon one side the initials “H. S.C.” and on the reverse, “Prize Ban- er.” The drilling began a lttle after 8 o'clock, and when company C came on the stage Capt. Slater was loudly cheered. Compa- nies B, A, and D followed in turn, and went through their evolutions at the commands of their captains, there being a few notice- able mistakes, among others the falling of several stacks. These compantes all came on and went off the stage with excellent alignments, and after company D had made its exit there was a long pause. Then with @ sudden outburst from the band and a sig- nal from Capt. Chase, company F and Capt. Edwards entered, but the alignments were very uneven, and when the company wheel- ed from fours into a company front some of the boys had not yet placed their caps on straight. But what a surprise these “ba- bies” had in store for the audience! sooner had the command of “present arm: been given than there was a decided change in the appearance of each cadet, and each movement was executed with # snap and precision that was only known to company F. Unlike the other companies, Capt. Ed- wards had his company load in cadence,and on that he won the drill. Each movement executed was applauded by the audience, and when his exit was made, Capt. Ed- wards had to press his sergeants into ser- vice in order to rid the stage of the numer- ous boquets ‘before company E with Capt. Dunn came on. The drilling of this com- pany was so nearly perfect that the judges occupied almost a half an hour deciding the winner, but when it was decided It was found ‘that company E was only a half point behind company F. New Drill Tactics. ‘The new drilJ regulations, which had been put to an excellent test at Fort Leaven- worth, Kansas, were introduced into the High School with the year 1891-92. Although not so pleasing to the view as the old tac- ties, the boys soon “caught on,” and by the evening of June 3 were prepared for anoth- er competitive drill. As far as the first four companies were concerned the drill was closer and more exciting than the one of the previous year, The National Thea- ter was the scene of this military drama, and was. crowded to its utmost capacity. Company B was the first on the stage, and pat up what the audience thought to be the wining dri!l. Company D entered next, and, with the exception of a falling stack, its drill was almost spotless. Fol- lowing came company A, which put up a perfect drill. Companies E, F and C fol- lowed in order, and were’ scored several times each. The band then played the “High School Cadet March” while waiting for the judges to announce the winning compary. Capt. Godfrey announced that A was the company decided upon as the most proficient company. ‘The officers for the year of 1891-92 were: Major, L. H. Reichel- derfer. Company A: Captain, H. G. Ogden, Jr.;" first Meutenant, H. B. ‘Black; second lieutenant, T. L. Jett. Company 'B: Cap- tain, C, E. Yount; first Meutenant, J. E. Watkins, jr.; second Meutenant, Lex Bogan. Company ‘C: Captain, L. M. Archer; first Meutenant, J. A. Clark, jr.; second Meuten- ant, R. A. Harding. Company D: Captain, G. K. ‘Woodworth; first lieutenant, C. C. F. E. Skinner. Clark; second Meutenant, P. A. Simpson. Company E: Captain, R. H. Young; first Meutenant, H. A. Bland; second Heutenant, R. W. Dyer. Company F: Captain, H. W. Slater; first Heutenant, R. B. Horton; sec- mi. lieutenant, -W. "M .Wheeler. Cant. ‘Beden ‘won the individual competitive drill for officers in that year. ‘The year 1892-83 found the High School with eight companies, the Central havi four, Eastern two, Business one, and the Western one. The commissioned roster of the regiment, having two battalions of four companies each, was read out last year as follows: Colonel, L. H. Reichelderfer; lMeutenant colonel, J. A. Clark, jr.; regimental adju- tant, “P. A. Simpson.’ First battalion: Major, F. E. Skinner. Company A—Captain, H. D. ‘King; first Heutenant, H. O. Sommer: second lieutenant, C. S. High. Company B —Captain, H. H. “Adams. Company C— Captain, 'T. H. Means; first Heutenant, W. N. Barnard; second lteutenant, R. W. Test. Company D—Captain, C. A. Johnson; first Heutenant, ©. P. M. Brown: second’ lieu- tenant, A. T. Smith. Second battalion: Company E—Captain, 8. C. Redman; first Neutenant, J. L. Fugitt; second Meutenant, G. W. Tucker. Company F—Captain, D. M. Edwards; first Heutenant, D. B. Street; second Ieutenant, H. R. Blanchard. Com- pany G—Captain, E. A. Shilling; first Heu- tenant, R. P. Shealey; second Meutenant, A. H. Warmer. Company H—Captain, C. C. Clark; first’ Meutenant, H. Doolittle; second lieutenant, A. Bogan. The officers’ competitive drill was won by Capt. D. M. Edwards. The competitive drill of last year was advertised for two nights, the first battalion drilling the first night and the second battalion the second. night. Company A, Capt. King’s company, was announced to be the best drilled in the first battalion, and company G_ the best drilled in the second battalion. Of the two, G was decided upon as the most proficient in the regiment. Company G was one of the new companies of the regiment in that year, and by winning the prize Capt. Shil- ling brought the pennant to the Eastern High School for the second time in three years. The competitive drill next June will in ali probability be as exciting as the memorable ones of the past three years. Dress Parades. ‘There 1s one thing that has been neglect- ed in giving this history—the annual dress parades in front of the Arlington Hotel. ‘The custom of winding up the year's work with a dress parade has prevailed for sev- eral years past, and last year, the regiment being too targe to drill in the Arlington plaza, the White Lot was used for that pur- pose. On. the latter occasion, blank cart- ridges. were used in the firings, and the manner in which the hammers fell together showed that = —_ aa been drilling to some purpose for a whole year. Prof. Paul, the projector, and Prof. Israel, the organizer, lived to see only a beginning of the realization of their plans; and since the death of Prof. Paul, in 188 Dr. Lane, the present principal of the High School, has spared no efforts to complete the work undertaken by his predecessor. The re- markable proficiency which the cadets have attained at the end of each year has been due to the excellent management of Maj. Burton R. Ross. The strict military dis- cipline which he has enforced in the differ- ent companies, his excellent judgment, his knowledge of tactics and his strong influ- ence over the boys has resulted marvel- ously. —_——— Strange Case of Telepathy. From the Boston Transcript. Mind-waves which strike separated friends the same time and make each sit down d write to the other after six months or six years of silence are common enough. But the case of two brothers living in the south comes a little nearer the rarity of cases placed high in the investigations of the Psychical Research Society. It appears that recently a Mr. McCrory of Oglethorpe decided at a certain hour on a certain night to visit his brother, who lived in Florida. It had been a long time since the two brothers had seen each other, and the strange part of it is that at the very hour on the same night the Florida man had decided to visit his brother in Georgia. ‘They both started about the same time and were both eminently successful, for each reached the home of the other abont the same time and was much surprised to find the other gon —— Had @ Tip From Blount?

STAYS HERE. Third Victory for the American Yacht Vigilant. ‘The America’s cup will remain in America until the Englishmen learn to build a better boat than Lord Dunraven’s Valkyrie. This fact was settled yesterday afternoon, as announced in a postscript edition of The Star, when the American yacht Vigtant crossed the finish line two minutes and thir- teen seconds ahead of the Valkyrie. Deduct- ing the one minute and thirty-three seconds time allowance on account of the Vigilant’s larger measurement, the American boat was the winner of the race by forty seconds. Yesterday’s race was the third of the sertes to be finished, and the Vigilant having won the three, wins the match. The first attempt to begin the series was on Thursday of last week, when there was not sufficient wind to enable either vessel to sail fifteen miles to windward and return in the specified six hours. On Saturday last the yachts sailed the race over and the Vig- ilant won by five minutes and forty-eight seconds. The second race was sailed on Monday over a triangular course, the Vig- ilant winning by ten minutes and thirty-five seconds. In both of these races the Vigilant allowed the Valkyrie one minute and forty- eight seconds. The yachts started again on Wednesday, but were unable to finish. On Thursday the Valkyrie's ballast was in- creased by the addition of a ton of lead, which increased her load water-line and re- duced her time allowance to one minute and thirty-three seconds. , A Great Race. It was a magnificent race—probably the finest ever sailed for the America’s cup. The weather was just such as the English yacht- men have been praying for. The wind blew a gale, making it an uncomfortable day for landsmen to be outside. The Valkyrie had the best of the start and led in the windward work, but after rounding the outer mark the Vigilant rapid- ly gained on her rival and soon passed her. ‘The wind increased and the sea became very rough. The racers plowed through the water, their decks frequently awash, and the ex- cursion steamers were left far bend, with rails submerged. The racers’ sails were bulged in the wind and every stay was strained to the utmost tension. Thus they passed the finishing line in the growing storm, and the eighth contest for the Amer- ica’s cup, the symbol of superiority in boat building ‘and sailing, was decided in favor of America. ikyrie’s Sails §; The Vigilant, though almost a half mile behind at the turn, managed to pick up handily her English rival and closed upon the weather quarter. As soon as she did this she, of course, blanketed the leader, took away ail of his wind and then managed to crawl up and gradually pass him. The Englishman showed that two could play at this game and gave the Vigilant a dose of her own medicine. She also took away the wind from the Amer- ican and then in turn shot ahead. It was just in the midst of e of these battles that an unfortunate misiap, or rath- er a series of unfortunate mishaps, took Place. The Englishman was leading the Vigilant by several lengths when a little split appeared on the inner leach of the cut- ter’ pinnaker. Longer and longer the rent seemed to grow, and when it had extended ten feet out-board Capt. Cranfield was forced to take it in, In two minutes another spinnaker of light Irish linen was taken out of the hold and quickly run up to the masthead. It was all in vain, however, for the wind was then blowing nearly half a gale, and this light piece of canvas was soon torn into shreds. This crushed forever the hopes of an Eng- lish victory even for one brief day, for though a balloon jib topsail was hoisted in leu of a spinnaker, the English cutter fell rapidly astern. The Summary. Following is the summary: Course, fifteen miles to windward and re- turn, Wind east. Valkyrie—Start, 12:27; finish, 3:58.52; elapsed time, 3:26.52; corrected time, 3:25.19. Vigilant—Start, 12:27; finish, 3:51.39; elapsed time, 3:24.89; corrected time, 3:24.39, Vigilant wins by 40 second: Outer mark—Valkyrie, 2:33.40; elapsed time, 2:06.40. Vigilant, 2:35.35; elapsed time, 2:08.35—1:55 favor of Valkyrie. Outer mark to finish—Valkyrie, 1:20.12; Vigilant, 1:16.044:08 favor of Vigilant. Vigilant’s gain over outer course was 2:13; less allowance of 1:38, wins by 40 seconds. ‘What Was Said Afterward. Mr. Iselin remarked as the Vigilant dropped anchor that he was glad the excite- ment was over and the cup safe. “The delay in starting,” he said, “was be- cause first the Valkyrie was not on hand promptly at the appointed time, and in the second place we were the cause of the delay, for our centerboard got stuck. We couldn't move it It was down only eleven feet when we started. It had affect- ed our sailing, éf course. When we rounded the stakeboat on the run home, we tried to raise the centerboard but couldn't, so we sailed all the way home with it away down. We were a long time setting our balloon jib- topsail after rounding the stake-boat. “Our halliards got caught and we had to send a man aloft to straighten out mat- ters.” ‘Mr. Charles Kerr,Lord Dunraven’s cousin, who sailed on the Vigilant, said: “It was the finest race I ever saw. The Valkyrie had hard luck. She lost two spinnakers, one after the other, when near the finish. I think if it hadn't been for that she would have won. It’s too bad.” Designer Watson, who sailed on the May, the flagship, as did Dunraven’s daughters, thought that the Valkyrie did admirably. “She pointed well up in the wind,” he re- marked, “and there was a good hatful of it. It was'a fair race, yet it doesn’t prove a centerboard boat better than a cutter, or vice versa. I don't think Dunraven will try again for the cup. “Jamison may come over, but I doubt it. ‘The Valkyrie will probably’ begin to fit out at once and will start for home in perhaps two weeks. I want to thank the newspa- pers and the public for their uniform kind- ness and courtesy to us. “Everything was managed perfectly and the New York Yacht Club people have been charming.” Capt. Cranfield hadn't anything to say. After the race was over the Earl of Dun- raven was taken to his hotel as quickly as steam and horseflesh would, by hire, get him there. Once in the hotel he sought the se- clusion of his apartments and sent word to the office that he was tired, would retire im- mediately and requested that no cards be sent to him. What fs Said in London. ‘The London Daily Graphic, commenting on yesterday’ beaten. no cause to be ashamed of a yacht that was defeated by so narrow a margin. English builders must try to. out-maneuver American builders, else some day an American yacht will come here and sweep the board.” ‘If the race were across the Atlantic and im December, Valkyrie would certainly win. But in light weather and in the Sandy Hook racing season the odds are heavily against a yacht built to cross the Atlantic. If ever by luck rather than by skill the America cup returns to England, it will be our own fault if we fall to keep it.” The Morning Post says that Englishmen will regret the result, but they will find tn the defeat a stimulus to further efforts. Echoing the conclusion of the Speaker, the Post proposes that the next challenger for, the America cup be provided with a center® The Daily News says: “Yesterday's race Proves that the Valkyrie has not been sail-|' ing in anything like her proper form.

The Daily Chronicle echoes the comments of the other papers, and adds: “If Lord Dunraven does not care again to challenge, there are doubtless plenty of yachting men here willing to step into his shoes.” AMONG THE CHURCHES. Happenings Here ‘There in Vari- ous Congregations of the City. With their pastors ail back and their con- Sregations returned the churches of the city are commencing their winter’s work. During the past week the various socie- ties, especially the Christian Endeavor and Epworth League, have been very generally holding meetings for the purpose of elect- ing officers and planning for the work of | $2! the year. What is known as the “popular” Sunday evening service is spreading widely this winter. By good music and a brief pointed Sermon or semi-lecture for the times, the Pastors of many churches are trying to Touse the stay-at-homes and bring in peo- ple who would otherwise spend their even- ing in a different manner.
